I think it’s entirely possible, from the standpoint of quantum mechanics, that McCain holds both views simultaneously. He is both pro-earmarks and anti-earmarks. He is both pro-Hagee and anti-Hagee. He is pro-torture and anti-torture.

He is, in short, the Schrödinger’s Candidate: a decoherent superposition of dimetrically opposite positions on critical issues that is maintained by the asus w1000 silver battery,asus w1 silver battery rigors of campaigning in a state just prior to objective collapse.

Story 32,345,348,565 that the media will not pick up on because it is true. If they do they will make excuses for McFlipflopper.

Serioulsy, this story has no legs because it is true. The press likes to promote deceptions which fit the co9nditioned conservtaive world view.

Now this is how Sun Myung Moon wants America to see the world and once again the media performed as they were guided to do.

People, this stuck a fork in the start of Gore’s 2000 campaign and is the kind of thing that had as much to do with rigging that election, subverting democracy, as the Supreme Court and voter suppression.

One month after formally kicking off his presidential campaign, Vice President Al Gore paddled down the Connecticut River in New Hampshire on July 22nd, 1999, spreading his green theme of protecting the environment and pausing for a photo op. His message was quickly drowned out, though, when the Washington Times’ Bill Sammon reported that local authorities had granted Gore a special favor when they released nearly 4 billion gallons of water from a nearby dam into the drought-stricken river in order to keep the vice president’s boat afloat.

The price tag on the spilled water was quickly calculated at $7 million. The implication was clear: In a clumsy abuse of power, Al Gore, a supposed friend of the environment, gladly wasted precious natural resources to stage-manage a political event.

Following the lead of the Washington Times, an unabashedly conservative outlet often hostile to Democrats, the rest of the mainstream press pounced, not only upbraiding Gore for his supposed hypocrisy but also suggesting that the campaign miscue was just the latest example of a foundering presidential run. The New York Times detailed the “mishap,” the Washington Post ridiculed Gore’s FOUR BILLION GALLONS FOR A PHOTO OP, Newsweek dubbed it the “photo op from hell,” and CNN covered the “wave of criticism after floodgates are opened on a New Hampshire river to keep Al Gore afloat.”

In retrospect, the most notable thing about the whole story was just how murky the facts were. Nobody from the Gore campaign asked for the water to be released. (Concerned about security, the Secret Service did.) As for the amount of water released, it was 500 million gallons, not 4 billion – a fact that Sammon reported a week later, long after other media ran with the original story. And the local utility company that operates the dam was already dumping millions of gallons of water into the parched Connecticut River every day. The routine release had simply been moved up a couple of hours to accommodate Gore’s trip. The $7 million figure turned out to be completely inaccurate, since the water was not wasted. Instead, it passed through hydroelectric turbines and generated power that the utility company sold to other utilities.

“I felt like we’d fallen through the looking glass,” says Sharon Francis, executive director of the Connecticut River Joint Commissions, who coordinated Gore’s visit on behalf of the region and for days fielded press queries about the derided canoe trip. She describes the media coverage as “fictional” and “nasty” and “spun to sound like something corrupt.” [...]

If the media charade surrounding Gore’s Connecticut River trip had been a one-time event – nothing more than bored political reporters trying too hard to kick up some dust during a slow summer news week – this incident would be forgotten to history. Instead, it is emblematic of the way the political press operated throughout the campaign, falsely reporting trivia about Gore and challenging his character in order to score points.

The coverage was at times blatantly dishonest, and, worse, reporters seemed so determined to stick to pre-assigned scripts (”Gore is a phony”) that they balked at correcting obvious errors that began to circulate.

If you’ve never seen it, try to watch ‘The Manchurian Candidate’ movie sometime.

Is McCain a time bomb, ticking his way to the White House?

I own that one, good point hadn’t thought about it. Good Movie.

Hard for old grumpy McPorky to make up his mind.

I think it’s entirely possible, from the standpoint of quantum mechanics, that McCain holds both views simultaneously. He is both pro-earmarks and anti-earmarks. He is both pro-Hagee and anti-Hagee. He is pro-torture and anti-torture.

It would explain so much, really…

Is McCain a time bomb, ticking his way to the White House?

McCain has been simplifying of course, in typical Republican Manichean fashion–every issue should be reduced to an either/or choice, regardless.

Obama, he is giving you all the material you need to bury him without saying one negative word. John is his own worsest enemy.

He’s gonna ride the ferry and have pressers at airfields and then rail against the earmarks that funded them. You know, my friends, he was for these earmarks before he was against them, my friends.

And I still wanna know where his Amurkan Flag lapel pin is, my friends — he must be one a them thur turrurists, my friends.

Isn’t one bad pilot as President enough?

Don’t let Johnny crash Airforce 1, too. Vote Blue for YOU!
