Now good old John McCain is taking credit for the new GI bill that was just passed as if he was the sponser even though he voted against it. He also said that Senator Webb needs to get with the program and make his (John McCain''s) GI bill permanent. With this, a vietnam vet questioned his shabby veteran''s voting record in a town hall meeting. The vet asked McCain why he voted against a number of veteran''s bills and McCain responded that he won the highest awards from all veterans groups because of his staunch support for them. Let''s see... he voted against veterans health care and other veteran''s issues 15 times. It looks like good old John just can''t remember from one day to the next what he says. Now he is taking credit for something he voted against. John McCain is such a slime!!!

I totally agree with the well-deserved lambasting of "McSame" Clearly, Bush is his idol and it is obvious he will say and do ANYTHING to get his war-mongering a.s.s. into the White House. I will go a step further..watch who he chooses for his running mate. This V.P. (like the evil Cheney) would be the power behind the President. Also, "Ciitizen USA" is posting support for MC SAME and contempt for Kerry. Don''t be confused, it''s not MY STANCE. (Check the spelling ...Ciitzen.

McCain "has proven that he has been wrong about every judgment he''s made about the war," Kerry said, adding: "Wrong about the Iraqis paying for the reconstruction, wrong about whether or not the oil would pay for it, wrong about Sunni and Shia violence through the years, wrong about the willingness of the Iraqis to stand up for themselves."
***********************************

My sentiments exactly. I supported John McCain in 2000 but now I would not dream of voting for him. With all of the experience he is touting, his judgment has been horrible.

John McCain is so obsessed with becoming president he''d sell his own mother into slavery if he thought it''d get him some more votes. He is the very definition of a pander bear.

John is a great guy ,but it is best to look at his wife. At his age, she will be getting the 3 am call while some Guatamalan is behind him with a mop.

If McCain were dog food from China he would have been thrown in the garbage before now.

John McCain is for John McCain and no one else. He left his first wife because she was damaged goods after the accident and figured he deserved the much younger and richer model he is currently married to.

I see the censors are out. So let me rephrase.

UnderMyBoot: If you don''t think Obama does the same thing You''re thinking is flawed.

Maybe they won''t delete this one. Never seen a comment get pulled so quickly.

John McCain gives DIRECT REWARDS to reporters for writing POSITIVE articles and making positive comments about him. He is BUYING REPORTERS- HE IS PAYING THEM OFF.

The McCain campaign yesterday acknowledged that seats on the "Straight Talk" airplane are assigned to reward "positive" reporters with special access seating in the front of the plane. The seats are REWARDED TO REPORTERS WHO PROVIDE POSITIVE COVERAGE TO McCAIN.

These seats provide direct access to McCain, access denied to other reporters on the McCain airplane. As you know, "ACCESS IS MONEY." Reporters are rewarded by their media companies and bosses for gaining access to candidates. The more access the better the reporter is viewed by their boss. This means MORE MONEY AND MORE PROMOTIONS.

So the McCain campaign has set up a program to PROVIDE FINANCIAL AND PROFESSIONAL REWARDS TO REPORTERS THAT PROVIDE McCAIN WITH POSITIVE COVERAGE.

What we need is for HORSERACE to create a new section, "WHO IS THE MCCAIN CAMPAIGN REWARDING TODAY." All that is required is for ONE reporter to daily send the seating assignments on the McCain airplane. Who got the "SPECIAL ACCESS SEATS" in first class? Who is being punished for critical reporting and is sitting in the back of the plane? It will make for VERY interesting reading.

The Air Force making improvements-

Appropriate and necessary step to improve the Air Force-what more can we say? That America is it!

Either you are with us or against us!

Without the Military we would not be here. I commend & honor those who fight for us and for those support our country.

A War- sometimes is neccessary to keep our FREEDOMS.

God Bless.

No one has switched his positions like John McCain. It''s truly incredible. The man has no credibility whatsoever. I can see the campaign ads now - John McCain saying one thing, then John McCain saying exactly the opposite, on almost every issue. If you don''t agree with McCain, wait five minutes, while the righties turn the screws a bit tighter. A vote for McCain is a vote for pure Republican right wing orthodoxy, and we''ve seen the disasters that has wrought. That their own ultraconservatives still don''t like him shows how insane they truly are. THROW ALL REPUBLICANS OUT - they all stink.

I was standing behind Kerry at the Democrat general election and he actually and literally ***-ped his pants. He got a real embarrassed look on his face and went running to the bathroom. There was a nugget on the floor where he was standing as well.
