Ain't this peachy? At least they didn't wait until a few days before Election Day.
Vote for McCain. He's not a commie. He was tortured by the commies that his opponent secretly adored.
The GOP has to restructure its nominating procedure. Indepentents and RINOs have had way too much influence in this primary season. It didn't that help conservatives split their vote between Thompson and Huckabee.

The WaPost needs to write up the cost of their newsprint as a campaign expense for Democrats.

McCain is the worst candidate in GOP history. He is worse than Bob Dole who was at least a decent person.

McCain is the worst candidate in GOP history. That pretty much says it all.

But even as Black provides a private voice and a public face for McCain, he also leads his lobbying firm, which offers corporate interests and foreign governments the promise of access to the most powerful lawmakers. Some of those companies have interests before the Senate and, in particular, the Commerce Committee, of which McCain is a member. Black said he does a lot of his work by telephone from McCain's Straight Talk Express bus.
Did you see this part? Seems one of the lobbyists works on the bus itself.

I was strongly for Duncan Hunter, but lets be realistic here...80% of the candy bar, or I get to vomit...hmmmm, lets see... I am waiting to see just how ugly things get for lord McCain... I live within an hour drive of Ft. Leavenworth and IF lord McCain is determined to make Ft. Leavenworth a tourist trap for terrorists I WILL NOT vote for him.

Check this out:
“Paxson said he talked with McCain in his Washington office several weeks before the Arizona Republican wrote the letters to the FCC urging a rapid decision on Paxsons quest to acquire a Pittsburgh television station.
Paxson also recalled that his lobbyist, Vicki Iseman, attended the meeting in McCains office and that Iseman helped arrange the meeting. Was Vicki there? Probably, Paxson said in an interview with The Washington Post today. The woman was a professional. She was good. She could get us meetings.
Paxson is comfortably retired and has absolutely nothing to lose by telling the truth.
Game. Set. Match.

It would be so much better if this were just an unsubstantiated sex scandal. With MAC being 71 and all, an alleged association with Vicki could only help him.
But these allegations are making him look like a total hypocrite.

“who we at least KNOW is a stand up guy”
We know nothing of the sort. What we do know, is that John McCain is an unstable man who not only dislikes conservatives and our positions, but actively works against us in concert with Democrats.
A “stand up guy” would not have authored:
McCain/Lieberman
McCain/Feingold
McCain/Kennedy
A “stand up guy” would not have been one of the Keating 5.

Good old John McCain-campaign finance is for the little people. And of course it’s ckay if he talks to lobbyists all the while complaining about special interest money in Washington. He’s special. It seem the straight talk express has a forked tongue.

Unbelievable. The media is painting McCain as a hypocrite because he is a hypocrite. I am sick to think this man is the nominee of the Repub Party.
