McCain should resign from the senate and drop out of the race. He is a disgrace.

I agree. He is without honor.

It’s not a very flattering picture of Michelle either, so I guess they’re being fair.

To: what's up

The New York Times has presented no evidence of a romantic relationship between McCain and the lobbyist. Even the often anti-American AP admits it:

And each time it happens and is posted here, look for some Romney supporters to bring up the fact that Romney can still jump in, tanned and ready, with the coffee pot going, and “save the day”, even after McCain has been nominated.

This is a crock - except to those who have MDS and wish to believe the worst - facts be damned.Bob Bennett,no less a staunch Democrat,said he investigated McCain for over a year and a half - found nothing.He says it’s a smear.Smells like Clinton’s garbage truck fleet has been dispatched to start dumping on McCain & Obama.

.

Over 20% of FR signups are sleeper liberals - including pro campaign staffers

Anyone with PC access who can type badly can join and post here - ethics and brains are not required

Now you will see some becoming activists - yet tout themselves as 180° from a liberal

Remember this when you read these threads

So far I see a lobbyist is accused of being a lobbyist and getting results

If and when any “poof” shows up perhaps we shall be able to make intelligent judgements

Right now I see many on FR backing the radical far left democrat NYT

Those who would be dumb enough to accuse me of being a big McCain fan have never seen many of my graphics

I parody left and right and often both in one graphic

Many on FR seem to be parodies now themselves

You never really know who they are
Remember - this November 2006 we must really teach the Republican party a lesson so we can win the WH and take back the Senate and House in 2008

"You’re wanting him to resign from the Senate and to drop out of the race because of a NY Times article that brings up no actual facts whatsoever, just innuendo and speculation? Puh-leeze!

My reasons have nothing to do with the NYT article. I just think McCain is a smarmy liberal schmuck.

From this AP article........

Eight years later, McCain is close to securing the GOP nomination. Aides said the senator would address the allegations at a news conference Thursday morning.

What I quoted (to hold news conference tomorrow) is what was originally contained within the paragraphs of the headline.

It has been subsequently changed, which of course now makes my comment somewhat out of place.

He did earn the ‘miracleworker’ label. Rescuing the party from McCain and McCain from himself, would dwarf all of his previous accomplishments.

We should have known McCain had something in his background that made New York Times and other lamestream media want him to be the candidate. If I was accused of something like this, I would sue the paper. McCain is reacting just like Clinton did when he had a bimbo eruption. Although, this is actually more serious if McCain gave this woman special favors or access. What a hypocrite McCain is talking about ‘influence’ etc. I wonder if this is all there is...as you pointed out he was one of the Keating five. I expect the New York Times was going to release this the day before the election, but the New Republic forced their hand.

The local NBC affiliate just did a five minute spread on this ‘rumor’. IMHO, Hillary’s camp is following orders, and the MSM is all to happy to oblige.

It’s going to get much worse, I’m afraid.

Too early to say for sure. Constitution Party most likely.

Please, McCain was just friends with this good looking blond lobbyist? He hung around with her, his campaign workers thought he was romantically involved. Of course he was sleeping with her. He went away with her. Are we to excuse this sort of behavior as the Dems excused Bill’s bad behavior? In fact, this is worse because one can assume he granted her special favors in congress. McCain is a disgrace. I will never vote for this despicable person. He needs to resign so we can get a decent candidate-one who can win in November. But of course this will never happens, McCain has been stabbing Repubs in the back for years and has never had a hint of concern for the party.
