Comments on: McCain Begins Tour Of Poor Communities

In Selma, Presumptive GOP Nominee Praises Civil Rights Marchers Like John Lewis

Strained by the demands of a long war, the Army and the Marine Corps recruited significantly more felons into their ranks in 2007 than in 2006, including people convicted of armed robbery, arson and burglary, according to data ...


YES - THE BUSHIT/CHENEY/McCAIN Strategy for winning WARS!

Let the CROOKS DO IT!

Just like the Republican Party - Hire Felons!

Republicans are Felons for the most part anyway. So they are hiring themselves!

Oh the McSHAME OF IT!

Our sons, daughters, moms and dads, brothers and sisters, are being kept in Iraq by a cynical policy not only with no end in sight, but also one that our forces cannot ultimately resolve, and instead depends upon the actions of Iraqi factions and political leaders. Twelve (12) billion ($12B) of our tax dollars are being spent every MONTH, just waiting and waiting for others to act.

That''s a surrender of our national sovereignty.

And, here''s something the rest of us know, but may be a surprise for the McCainaanites: Iraqi political leaders do what they perceive to be in THEIR own interests, not because it may help the US. Our so-called political leaders live in a parallel universe, seeing events in Iraq from a US prism, and keep our brave troops in harms'' way to serve their own vanity, and for McCain, his Presidential ambitions.

This is in Beverly Hills, mind you.

Expensive Taste
$2,546.56
That%u2019s how much cashola John McCain%u2019s campaign spent March 2 at Barney%u2019s New York in Beverly Hills. (That%u2019s 90212, in case anyone was wondering.)
According to McCain%u2019s latest FEC report, the charges were %u201Ccredited back%u201D April 2.

Oh, my. What are they doing in such an elitist establishment? And who was doing the shopping? We need a name for this one people. Prada-gate%u2014Barney-Gate%u2014McCain-90212%u2026

---"McCain, who speaks often of courage shown by military veterans, said he never saw greater courage than Lewis and the marchers showed that day, March 7, 1965"---

****, I just read on Huffington Post that McRovepuppet didn''t even invite Rep. Lewis to hear him speak, didn''t call him to let him know he was going to talk about him (and given that Rep. Lewis has endorsed Clinton/Obama, doesn''t RESPECT dictate that one ought to at least let the person know that you''re going to try and USE THEM for political advantage?) The two aren''t apparently even close in any way.

Just another triangulating Rove-puppet GOPig... apparently what he''s offering to ppl on this tour is ''listening''. Everybody knows that when you want to use ppl you keep your lips shut and let them talk, only opening your mouth to mirror back their sentiments but not any other concessions.

Let me guess that at the end of the tour, McCain will ''find'' that the stories of bravery and courage, celebration of America, etc etc that he bore witness to are the qualities and characteristics he believes makes America great and that all the great Americans he met he believes if they join with him can together make America great once again. Translation - eat cake! And don''t you dare question McSame''s claim of bringing a different kind of politics when he plays the black/''unpatriotic'' cards 24/7 through the fall! Blech!

If Barack Obama didn%u2019t know about Abunimah%u2019s writings (and Abunimah says he did), the same as his claims of being unaware of Reverend Wright%u2019s remarks after 20 years, then Obama is not competent to be our President. Abunimah likes to lie and claim Al Awda has nothing to do with the ISM or Electronic Intifada, though plenty of evidence exists on the website the homepage at www.StoptheISM.com showing the contrary.

But Obama%u2019s association with the ISM through his church and lobbying in Chicago goes even deeper than just his past links to Al Awda and Ali Abunimah. His pastor, Jeremiah Wright, and the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, are both equally involved with the ISM.

This reminds me of Kerry walking in to the store saying, "Hey, can I get me a huntin'' license here?" What a joke. McCain cares about the poor as much as Ted Kennedy cares about water safety for women.

PPS Apparently the Chinese government subsidizes their steel industry with "financing, tax holidays and subsidies" . . .

[samthetvcat]

PS Didn''t Pennsylvania alone lose something like 200,000 jobs?

-----"So the question is: Where is the Social Justice and when will the Democrats who have have 100% control and responsibility for these "Social Injustcies" finally do something to help the poor people, under their direct control? I''m talking about TODAY...RIGHT NOW..."-----
Posted by perceptions5

perception, this is from the Mississippi Business Journal, Monday, January 1 2007:

---"The Bush Administration has announced it is revoking tariffs on foreign-made steel 16 months ahead of schedule. But it was sobering news in the areas of the country where the most steel making is concentrated such as Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. Large steel companies said there is still a massive oversupply on the world market caused by foreign subsidies. And the United Steelworkers Union called the action "a sorry betrayal of American steelworkers and steel communities." The government is evidently expecting a large number of layoffs of American workers as a result of the action."---

Maybe Barack could just pledge to reverse all the damage Shrub has done during his 8 years . . . that alone ought to do some good (?)

Thanks McCain. You are obviously the only choice. Thanks for your competency. Thanks for your decency. Thanks for your intelligence, capability. Thanks for being the only one capable of filtering out the garbage, and the only one with a history that indicates eligibility to even be in this process. Thank you for living a life that clearly demonstrates your loyalty to our country. Most of all, more than any "candidate" can provide, thank you for your PROVEN RECORD. We certainly don''t have to "hope" with you. You are the only choice.
