Let me know when the hatred of McCain from the Treasonous Leftist Liars exceeds that of the Ultra Right.
actually the axis of evil is NBC, ABC, AND CBS.
It'll probably remain a toss up.
Wouldn't you love to have a fact-checker standing next to that oaf Gregory. The President and Prime Minster Blair have both been reelected. Their biggest ally, Australia's Howard has also. Chirac and his girlfriend DeVillepin are both in the toilet with job approval maybe half the President's. Shroeder is gone. Canada booted their corrupt "leader" out and put in a conservative. Spain and Italy were lost but our alliance is basically intact.
The media has waged jihad against the President. They have distorted, slanted, filtered and even fabricated news to destroy him. Yes, his popularity is low, but the Democrats' is worse. The media now score lower on trustworthiness than the government in both the US and the UK. Their circulation and advertising revenues are falling. Their TV ratings remain dismal.
Yes Gregory, you and the "journalism" wing of the entertainment industry have hurt the President, but you irreparably damaged yourselves. Your DNC pimps have taken you down with them. You can fly a "Mission Accomplished" banner but we all see it was a suicide mission.
Not from what I see. I am no big fan of the guy but the bile heaped over him by his haters may turn me into one.
First of all, it's not just the ultra right that despises John McCain. It's the people who have taken the time to thoroughly study him and educate themselves. I hope you will take the time to research him yourself rather than have a knee jerk reaction to the negativity he generates.
I have watched McCain for years and his opposition is almost entirely from the Ultra Right. He is correct in many of the things he says and does but where he isn't the Hate meter goes off the charts.
McCain did a great job of campaigning for the President in 2004 and gave a great speech at the convention. He is a Patriot who is his own man. However, I do not hate someone merely because I disagree with him. We do have freedom of thought even within the Conservatives.
The reaction of many here to McCain borders on the pathological.
I've watched McCain for years too. He is not a conservative and carries more (political) garbage around than a BFI truck after Thanksgiving.
Most of us elephants have long memories. McCain's behavior to conservatives in 2000 was appalling. He offended legions when he called Rev. Falwell an “agent of intolerance” and an “evil influence” in the Republican party. Recently, he has been sucking up to Falwell and trying to repent, knowing he needs conservative voters if he has a prayer at the nomination.
McCain has managed to trample on political speech by limiting the right of political expression with McCain/Feingold finance law, which is a joke. And last month when Don Imus interviewed him he answered a critics complaint about his campaign finance reform's stance with this gem:
"I would rather have a clean government than one where First Amendment rights are being respected, that has become corrupt. If I had my choice, I'd rather have the clean government."
Ah, and one of my favorite John McCain moments is when he immediately labeled the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth as "dishonest and dishonorable" as soon as they came forward against his good buddy, John Kerry.
How nice of him to slander over 200 brave decorated combat Veterans in favor of one sleazy anti-war activist turned media hero, when it suits him. I'll never forget how he treated the families of MIA's when they went to ask for his help. So forgive me if I don't consider John McCain a war hero either.
There are dozens more reasons to distrust and dislike the RINO, John McCain, the most recent being his pathetic stance on securing our borders.
Surely you realize that McCain did a complete turn around and decided to kiss up and make nice/nice and campaign for our President in 2004 due to a political trade off.
I'm going to have to decline listing the DOZENS of other reasons everyone should detest and not trust McCain because it would take up my entire evening. You don't have to do much digging to find them yourself.
