It has been noted that Russia%u2019s reaction based upon U.S. approved aggression by Georgia was intended to result in a POLITICAL WIN for John McCain

Every time I think I''ve heard all the conspiracy theories possible... some ignoramous comes along with another. I guess I underestimate the paranoid mind.

I will be one of them that buy into McCain and I think over half the American people now see through Obama and all your liberals. You are trying to destroy America with your liberal ideas.

Obviously, McCain has much more depth in issues involving foreign policy than Ubama does. That''''s what this story means to me.

Especially knowing what you know today about McCain and his ties to the government in Georgia - in reference to his speech from yesterday stating ''We''re all Georgians'' ..... This little revelation has clearly infuriated many Americans except for some Repugs like you, who don''t seem to understand what''s going on. Cheers!

I guess McCain won''t be running for President based on his character.

You got that right!

[parrots11]

You don''''t know what you are talking about. You are not dry behind the ears yet. McCain is ten times better than you liberals that just want everything given to you. You want freedom but will not fight for it. You want material things but to lazy to work for it. You make most people sick with your know it all attitude but really just show your ignorance.

You seem very angry at any and a group of fellow Americans - which is rather misplaced as it''s McCain that''s currently lying to you and your other Repugs. How do you justify that he''s trying to get $10M for another country while he''s never gotten anything for the state of AZ which he represents in all the years he''s been in congress ..... He''s against any form of assistance to Americans right here in this country but has sworn to continue signing the checks for Iraq and their citizens. Hope this helps - I got some more too if you need some more pointers. Cheers!

Word is starting to trickle in that the Bush administration approved Georgia''''s aggression against South Ossetia prior to Georgia''''s invasion. Someone should ask Condoleezza Rice.

It has been noted that Russia%u2019s reaction based upon U.S. approved aggression by Georgia was intended to result in a POLITICAL WIN for John McCain who could frame his position as a tough talking, saber rattling. tough on Russia leader of the free world. What a joke!

Some people might buy into John McCain''''s delusional rhetoric but don''''t be one of them

John McCain .... Empty Words .... Empty Results

A vote for McCain is not a vote for Americans. I''''ve yet ot hear any plan by McCain on how he is going to create high paying jobs, and improve health care or reduce healthcare costs. I''''ve yet to hear McCain share a plan to fix Social Security and reduce the Socaila Security age to a respectable 60 years old. I''''ve yet to hear McCain suggest we create mass transit infrastrucutre and alternative fuel infrastrucutre. I''''ve yet ot hear McCain actuall mention how he plans to return some of the wealth in this country to the middle calss and lower classes, I''''ve yet to hear McCain even suggest that the middle and lower classes need help...

McCain does not care about Americans, all he cares about is keeping the welathy happy and in complete ocntrol. No different then how Bush screwed this country... Unless you are making $500K a year a vote for McCain is a vote for your own demise

McCain''s new campaign strategy: Wag the Dog. Russia wants McCain because the longer we''re at war, the bigger the debt and the weaker we''ll become. Ditto for Al Qaeda, Iran, China, etc. The military-industrial complex don''t care about anything but their profits from arms. They''re moving to Bahrain anyway.

Thomas Jefferson was right... "Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains."

[parrots11]

Another measure lobbied by Orion and co-sponsored by McCain, the NATO Freedom Consolidation Act of 2006, would have authorized a $10 million grant for Georgia.


This is the same repug that will never request for an earmark for the citizens of AZ (Americans) that voted him into the Senate but would gladly sponsor a bill sending money to foreign countries while his campaign chest increases ..... It''s really sad, to try and understand what these repugs have turned themselves into, all for the love of money - and always over country. Can''t even believe there''s Repugs on this boards defending these things.

This story was leaked by the Obama campaign.Take it for what it is-BS.McCain has done nothing wrong.

LOL! Riiggghhhttt- Just like that little staged hostage rescue when McCain was in Columbia so McCain and his lobbyist could claim the Columbian government should be rewarded by signing the stalled free trade agreement. In short, if it walks like a liverspot, and quacks like a liverspot, well...you know the rest.

Seems like McCain has more international interest then interest in Americans ... or should I say international interest then interest in middle class an dlower class Americans.

The McCain campaign said Georgia''s lobbying contract with Orion Strategies had no bearing on the candidate''s decision to speak with President Mikheil Saakashvili and did not influence his statement. "The Embassy of Georgia requested the call," said campaign spokesman Brian Rogers.

Something just does not pass the smell test here....I just do not know what.

[bfjones666]

It almost seems as if EVERY story that comes out recently has John Sydney McCain III and one of his campaign aides and now or former lobbyist involved. What makes this guy call himself a maverick? What bullsh*t.

[omega39-2009]

He had the nerve to mock Obama''s draw for the people of Germany, but first it was revealed McCain had ties to Columbian lobbyists, and now Georgia lobbyists.

It''s obvious who the real internationalist is here. He is a Bush clone and if elected can be expected to push the North American Union while standing in Michigan and proclaiming "Those jobs are gone and aren''t ever coming back."

[eclecticman1]

McCain is a friend of the loobyists although he pretends to be their enemy. Hopefully, America will see this.

[oscarez]

For Sale. For Sale. The Republican White House is for sale. I wonder how I can get in on the action.

[kissamaarse]

JukeBox John surrounded by lobbyists for foreign governments and large corporate interests. Sure, he has everyday American''s interests at heart, sitting there in his $520 Ferragamo loafers. What a pathological hypocrite!
