Interesting. George McGovern opposes Barak Obama''s candidicy. I just saw an ad where McGovern says that no candidate should support the Labor Union''s bill to take away provate ballots for unionization votes.

Obama supports that bill.

McCain opposes it.

McGovern is right, maybe for the first time in his life. Obama is a tool is his illegal contributors and the DNC. McCain is his own man, and a man of the people.

You know, I get really tired of hearing about McCain''''s prison time. I am a Vietnam veteran. I lost several friends there. John McCain, the son and grandson of wealthy Admirals, was a bungling punk. He graduated fifth from the bottom in a class of almost 900. He would have been drummed out if not for his family influence. He crashed millions of dollars worth of planes, including one in Nam. His JOB was to avoid capture when he wrecked his plane... instead he surrendered. Then when handed the same treatment as every other POW, he committed treason and spilled his guts to the Cong. He came home and proceeded to cheat on his wife with a mindless, drug addicted bimbo, then left his disabled wife and married the ''''Barbie'''' for her daddy''''s money. John McCain is a punk and a coward!!

To find the silver lining in this, maybe we will finally wake the f up and take back our country from the fascists.

Before, I wasn''t getting tortured so it was OK. My city wasn''t being bombed so that is OK. They weren''t locking me up with no charges so it was OK. But mess with my money and I''ll kill ya. The American sheeple must be the most scared, stupid people I have ever seen. Must be too much TV.

100% WASHINGTON Lobbyists Are Running The McCain Campaign

All of the TOP PEOPLE in the McCain campaign are LOBBYISTS for large corporations, including Big Oil, and FOREIGN COUNTRIES

Campaign CEO - Rick Davis, Partner at lobbying firm Davis Manafort (including $2 MILLION from FANNIE MAE)

National Campaign Director- Christian Ferry, Associate at lobbying firm Davis Manafort

National Political Director- Mike Dennehy, Founder, The Dennehy Group, a New Hampshire lobbying firm

National Finance Director- Susan Nelson - lobbyist for Loeffler Group LLC. Continued taking monthly lobbying payments after starting with McCain''s campaign

Senior Policy Advisor- David Crane. Senior Executive at The Washington Group, a corporate lobbying firm billing $10.4 million in 2006

Senior Foreign Policy Adviser - Randy Scheunemann. McCain''s PRIMARY Foreign Policy Adviser. A lobbyist for FOREIGN COUNTRIES, including Georgia (that was just in a war with Russia). OOPS.

National Finance Co-Chair - Tom Loeffler Owns one of the most lucrative and influential lobbying firms in Washington.

Regional Campaign Manager- Doug Davenport ran DCI''s lobbying practice. Forced to leave when exposed that he LOBBIED FOR the REPRESSIVE REGIME IN BURMA

Campaign Spokesman- Charlie Black - chairman of BKSH & Associates, lobbying billings $7.6 million in 2006

Phil "Americans are whiners" Gram - created this economic crisis.


Barack Obama has no lobbyists on the payroll or serving as key advisers.

This is the most absurd idea I''ve ever heard from a presidential candidate. Does McCain really want to win?

The GOP is badly out of touch with the average US citizen. While our savings and retirement accounts are drying up, they''''re running around spouting negative BS at rallies. How about the economy McCain? What about the economy?

Top donors to McCain''s campaign.

Merrill Lynch $349,170
Citigroup Inc $287,801
Morgan Stanley $249,377
Goldman Sachs $220,045
JPMorgan Chase & Co $206,392
AT&T Inc $183,663
Credit Suisse Group $175,503
PricewaterhouseCoopers $163,670

There''s plenty of blame to go around, but allowing more people to purchase homes only helps the economy. Until too many people have abused the system.
