McCain is such a complete liar, that we can know what he really means by undestanding the opposite meaning of what he speaks. So the translation of : I would rather lose a political campaign than lose a war  =  I will do anything to win a politican campaign.

Carl Bernstein said it well in a recent article in The Huffington Post:

“. . . I would rather lose a political campaign than lose a war,” he has said throughout this campaign. Yet, in choosing Palin, he has demonstrated — whatever his words — it may be permissible to imperil the country, conceivably even to “lose” it, in order to win the presidency. That would seem the deeper meaning of his choice of Palin.

Indeed, no presidential nominee of either party in the last century has seemed so willing to endanger the country’s security as McCain in his reckless choice of a running mate. He is 72 years old; has had four melanomas, a particularly voracious form of cancer; refuses to release his complete medical records. Three of our last eleven presidents (and nine of all 43) have come to office unexpectedly in mid-term from the vice presidency: Truman, who within days of FDR’s death was confronted with the decision of whether to drop the atom bomb on Japan; Lyndon Johnson, who took the oath in Dallas after JFK’s assassination; Gerald Ford, sworn in following the resignation of Richard Nixon. A fourth vice president, George H.W. Bush, briefly exercised the powers of the presidency after the near-assassination of Ronald Reagan.

Given that history, what does John McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin — the cavalier, last-minute process of her selection and careless vetting; and her over-briefed, fact-lite performance since — reveal about this military man who has attested to us for years that he is guided by his personal code of honor? . . .”

A fine, but important point likely escaped the attention of many Americans last night, but the Queen caught it and I’ll bring it to the attention of those who may have missed it because merits repeating.

McCain likes to leave the impression that he is for establishing renewable energies in this country to replace oil. McCain is a liar. That is nothing more than part of his political posturing. Obama called him on this during the debate–but only for a few seconds and it slipped by.  You may recall Obama said something to the effect of:  “John you say you are for alternative energies but you voted against a recent bill in the Senate that would have helped to fund research and development of renewable energies.”

That bill to which Senator Obama referred is H.R. 5351. Green-heads like the Queen have been following it ever since the U.S. House of Representatives voted to hold Big Oil accountable back in February when it passed H.R. 5351, the “Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation Tax Act of 2008,” which repeals nearly $18 billion in oil company subsidies over the next decade and dedicates the money to renewable energy and energy efficiency investments.

It was a brilliant move strategically.  I will give them that, but I think that the idea of a woman VP most likely came from outside the ranks of the Republican Party.  That is just NOT their style.  Republicans don't think like that.

That said. Sarah Palin is an opportunist move that offers the ONLY POSSIBLE hope of a Republican victory.

If anyone thinks that John McCain respects women, then you need look no further than a very few facts for the truth:

1. He voted against equal pay for women
2. He tells crude sexist jokes about women such as they enjoy being raped by Gorillas.
3. He publically belittles and humiliates young daughters of his opponents by calling them ugly and suggesting that their mothers are lesbian.

If you think that such a person as this respects women, then you are a fool.

He tries to leave the impression that he is "nice" but he is so evil and devisive that he, himself, leaks Obama's schedule.

It's the same old Republican double standard.  McCain had one of his famous temper tantrums when the press reported that his son was serving in Iraq saying that the coverage would make him a target.

As far as I'm concerned, anyone who makes less than $250,000 a year and who votes for McCain is a fool.

McCain wrote the book on sexism and he doesn't even care the age of the female as was evidenced by the joke that  he told during a Republican dinner in 1998 in which he used Chelsea Clinton, then barely 18 and a child of one of his opponents as the butt of a horrible sexist joke that ridiculed Chelsea's physical appearance as well as her parents.  When it comes to sexism, McCain has no boundaries.

Here is a further note for people who say they will vote for McCain because they didn't like the sexism against Hillary from the press in the campaign.

McCain was known as "McNasty" in high school has erupted in foul-languaged tirades at political foes and congressional colleagues more-or-less throughout his career, and his quickness to anger has been an issue on the presidential campaign trail as evidence of his fury has surfaced. 

So not only is he a sexist, he also has a short fuse--just what we need in the White House--another cowboy.  I say that we send all the cowboys and the mavericks out to pasture.  After all the first definition in the dictionary of the word "maverick" is an unbranded cow.

If you think that McCain stands for common decency in the treatment of prisonors of war, you can guess again.  He is right in line with all the other Republican creeps.  In February McCain, a former prisoner of war, who has consistently voiced opposition to waterboarding and torture voted in favor of the bill 51-45 which preserved waterboarding as a method of interrogation

It seems that McCain has not one, but two moral compasses. Today he has denounced Hagee--I guess it was ok for him to call the Catholic Church a whore but when Hagee started in on Hitler and the Jews, McCain drew the line.

However, McCain stilll has Reverand Ron Parsley to deal with, a man whom McCain referred to as a "moral compass"--but hey I guess that's OK since we all know that McCain is such a liar anyway.

Reverand Parsely could prove a sticker wicket than Hagee, however.  According to Mother Jones, "A politically influential figure in Ohio, [Hmmm THAT might explain a few things. . .]

 Parsley could also play a key role in McCain's effort to win this bellwether state in the general election. McCain, with Parsley by his side at the Cincinnati rally, called the evangelical minister a "spiritual guide."

Way to go liar McCain!  Just what we need--another liar who will do anything to get a vote.

I just read an excellent post by Cliff Schecter "John McCain on Healthcare: The ultimate hypocrite and Yes, Liar"  Here is a small excerpt for you:

" . . .A good rule of thumb: When John McCain says "my friends," start looking for a bomb shelter. Another good rule of thumb when McCain utters this trite phrase: Dishonesty is about to morph into full scale hypocrisy.

Here is a man who has been on government healthcare his entire life (daddy was an Admiral) -- all seven decades -- who dares deride it by saying, "Unlike my opponents, I do not believe that all of our nation's problems can be solved by turning control over to our government...."

No, only his own healthcare is worthy of that.

In case you missed McCain's position: Government healthcare is good enough to pay his hospital bills -- with your "taxes" to quote him -- but it is not good enough for the rest of us -- oh and by the way, can you spare $1000 "my friends?" That means a lot coming from a guy who enjoys lounging at 8 different houses on his wife's inherited dime, and laughably calls other candidates "elitist."

Is that wonderful? "Being a War-Hero is not a life time get-out-of-jail-free card".  I wish I could take credit for it, but I can't.  Those are the words of Thomas Sowell.  And it is from "one of their own."  LOL  It is from an article that Mr. Sowell wrote that appeared in  "GOP USA--Bringing the Conservative Message to America." Sowell is an American economist, black political conservative, but he considers himself more libertarian than conservative.

Here is just a tiny excerpt from this article, written by a Republican, not a Democrat.  Who says the Republicans are not divided?

"We have been hearing for years that Senator John McCain gives "straight talk" and his bus has been endlessly referred to as the "straight talk express." But endless repetition does not make something true.

The fact that McCain makes short, blunt statements does not make him a straight-talker.

There are short, blunt lies -- and he told a big one on the eve of the Florida primary, when he claimed that Mitt Romney had advocated a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq.

you people are killing me! you don't like facts from the fact hub? the fact that they come from the clinton organization hardly changes the fact that they are indeed FACTS.   during last night's debate, clinton referenced an associated press article which said obama could have a "pretty good debate with himself", referring to his ever-shifting stances on various issue of importance. in his typical under-handed way, obama responded that the a/p was "quoting some of your folks." cheap shot! so here's the original a/p article senator clinton rightfully quoted. so put THAT in your pipe and smoke it. okay?
