		<description>it makes my skin crawl. Now we can believe absolutely nothing about him. He’s finished - washed up - cooked!
I’ve been spending time on the S &amp; L scandal he was involved in and it’s amazing how little this man has changed. He has a need to meddle in and try to corrupt whatever &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.batterylaptoppower.com/asus/a4g.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;asus a4g battery&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.batterylaptoppower.com/asus/a4s.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;asus a4s battery&lt;/a&gt; agency he can in order to make special deals for his cronies (the ones who contribute to him).
I find it also very telling about this man’s character the way he flipflopped and now condones waterboarding and torture.</description>

		<description>It is interesting to note that that guy who has been all over YouTube accusing Barack Obama of a homosexual liason and of using crack cocaine in his limo back in 1999 is about to take a lie detector test and if he passes he will make $100k.

Here&#039;s the link to the information:

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=56626

If he passes the lie detector test Obama will be finished.  McCain will go under with the lobbyist fiasco.  A big trial in California has just been put on the docket naming Hillary and Bill Clinton as defendants.  She&#039;ll be done.  Let&#039;s see, who&#039;s left?

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Heâ€™s done nothing wrong. Youâ€™re just being emotional and erratic. No surprise there.

Comment by thirdparty â€” February 23, 2008 @ 1:27 pm

He dishonored himself during Viet Nam, so start with, and dishonored himself again as one of the Keating 5, and dishonored himself again by giving Bush blowjobs after the character assassiantion against him in 2000, and dishonored himself again by lying about his payoffs and favors for the dozens of lobbyists that purchase his whores for him. Heâ€™s filthy, as dirty as they come. Y*ou can defend him down in the muck, you seem comfortable in the gutter.

I think it&#039;s funny how you edited my statement that you quoted, which began with: &quot;Care to back any of that up?&quot; Instead, you don&#039;t provide any proof on your Keating attacks or your Swift Boating of his Vietnam record (oh, never mind, can you really call it a Swift Boating when you don&#039;t even &lt;em&gt;pretend&lt;/em&gt; to make up evidence?). You talk about lying about &quot;payoffs&quot; and &quot;favors.&quot; Care to identify the lie? All that&#039;s come out is a question on whether he ever met with Paxson about the letters; he never denied writing the letter. But as we&#039;ve seen, Paxson has been contradicted by a former executive of his. 

I think you&#039;re the dishonorable one. Well, not like honor matters when you can be an armchair character assassin.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;itâ€™s going to help Mccain into a prison cell. he is one of the dirtiest of all conservative politicians, and thatâ€™s really dirty. McStain has been a hypocrite, liar and thief his entire career, including his hotel vacation in VietNam, a complete sham.

		<description>So what to make of the NY Times story? For one, it helps McCain with conservatives. Also, I think that whenever the conversation is about ethics, it helps McCain.

That will leave only the idiots with dead brains to vote for this new version of Washington turd.</description>

		<description>Where&#039;s the evidence that McCain&#039;s campaign advisers have influenced him to side on their issues? OK, I see we have this Paxson case, but even here it just seems that he urged action, rather than urge the FCC to side with Paxson. But I&#039;d be interested in how it&#039;s a problem that McCain&#039;s campaign is managed by lobbyists, since there is no indication of impropriety. Keep in mind that Barack Obama also has hired lobbyists for his campaign:



&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/lobbyists-on-obamas-08-payroll-2007-12-20.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Three political aides on Sen. Barack Obamaâ€™s (D-Ill.) payroll were registered lobbyists for dozens of corporations, including Wal-Mart, British Petroleum and Lockheed Martin, while they received payments from his campaign, according to public documents.

The presence of political operatives with long client lists on Obamaâ€™s campaign contrasts with his long-held stand of campaigning against the influence of special interests. Obama has even refused to accept contributions from lobbyists or political action committees (PACs).&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

It&#039;s amusing to me that the left wants to assail McCain&#039; on ethics, when in fact he has arguably the best record on ethics in politics. Between campaign finance and pork barrel spending, what he&#039;s done has been admirable.

		<description>We&#039;re watching the sunset of Johnny Boy&#039;s political career and it&#039;s a shame that this former American hero is going out as a fraud. 

I would have voted for this guy in 2000, now I&#039;m realizing I was duped.</description>

		<description>My only question, is how will Timmy and Tweety spin this next Sunday?  Their favorite candidate is falling apart before their eyes, and no amount of political sandbagging is going to turn the tide.  At what point do they cut their losses, and acknowledge reality?</description>

		<description>I believe a lot of things that never would have occurred to me. :)

Comment by Zooey

Recently I gave a cell phone that was no longer used to charity [abused homeless women] so they could call 911 without having to activate a phone. And they said to make sure to delete all the cell phobe pics because some guys, apparently, were sticking their tallywhacker inside Hot Dog buns and photographing them.


Yeh, true. =P</description>
