Must be election time...These are the kind of people who have brought this country to where it is now....This is the washington that has a 29 percent rating of the worst congress ever....and you want more of the same....same politics just different people....We now have a congressman from Airizona under investigation, lobbysist taking care of him, we have a senator in Alaska under investigation, lobbysist taking care of him biggest pork barrell spender in the country, this is the guy who took money from the american people who need, jobs, health care, made in america goods and a long list, to take care of his needs.  Mr McCain has more lobbysist working for him than anyone, why, they have and interest in there walletts.and want to continue pollitcs as usual.  .

Since the NY Times ran a wonderful eight year old story on John McCain will they follow suit on Barack Obama?

We were treated to the Obama Girl, will we now be treated to the Obama Man - Larry Sinclair?

Bill O'Reilly alluded to Sinclair last week. Fact, fiction or muckracking?  It is better to know now in view of Obama's admitted cocaine use!

Pathectic, simply pathetic. McWar is si old and tired, he will probably not be able to pull the lever to vote for himself!

This could easily turn into a HUGE problem for the McCain camp.  In his view, he can withdraw from the system, but it has been clearly stated that he has to have approval before he is able to withdraw from it.  If this is the case, he is really stuck, as there is no body that can approve it, as nominations for the FEC members are stuck in the Senate.  He would be stuck with about 2 million dollars to spend between now and the RNC several months from now!

This story needs to have legs.

1. Conservatives are the prudes of America who basically ry to push their ideologies down your throat.
2. They are the real hypocrites of America in that they asked for limited government but tried tog et the  government recklessly involved in the Terri Schiavo case.
3. They are warmongers and present God as a war monger in that they supported the Iraq war and cared little or nothing about over 650,000 Iraqi lives destroyed by reckless U.S. war efforts, even as they tell us life is sacred and opposed a woman's right to regulate her body.
4. They call themselves guardians of virtue, but then you can easily find scandals (sex and money scandals, etc) among the Republicans, yet the cosnervatives try to scapegoat others (liberals most often) for their scandalous acts).
So what is a true cosnervative? There is no such thing as a "compassioante conservative" or "environmental conservativism" In a secular, freedom loving world, conservativism has no place.
We have to also reject the 'liberal' label. We have to be Americans, and only is a patriot one who rejects the ideologies and labels of a particular group in America. People criticizing Obama for not wearing the lapel pin with the flag of the US on it are as much nationalist as those of Europeans during the 19th, and 20th centuries of explosive nationalism that ultimately gave us World War 1 and 2.

Pathectic, simply pathetic. McWar is si old and tired, he will probably not be able to pull the lever to vote for himself!

After seeing Hillary on TV yesterday, I was thinking the same thing about her HP.

Take a good look at McCain and the people like Charles Black and the others who surround him. Take a damm good look at them. They look like has beens from the 40's and 50's with no new ideas, no new context of the country or the world. It is down right scary. Does it not disturb any one that McCain's approach to foreign affairs is to say we will be at war for 100 years or his bomb song about Iran? These guys look like the nursing home folk where Grandpa Simpson lives. They even walk like old timers. Do we really want to re-cycle these guys? It will be Rumsfield and Chaney all over again. Come on America we can do better.

That "gd piece of paper" comes in handy for Republicans, every now and then.

It's nice that they still hide behind the Constituion when they're not gutting it

McCain is like a give-away for the democrats. He is the easiest and biggest target to beat.

Oh my, no one commenting on the actual article?  OK, this is an appeal Dems hope to lose.  Right now, Obama and Clinton are out-fund-raising McCain.  They pray most devoutly that McCain will pull out of public financing, so they can do the same, without opening themselves to charges of hypocrisy.  They need McCain to do it, and as noisily as possible, so everyone remembers he was the first.

The article on McCain did not get traction because they cannot prove the sex.  But who among us out there can prove the Lobbyist part of it?  No politician is squeaky clean in Washington D.C.  

HP from Boston,
Why don't you offer yourself to the GOP in place of McF--k? Seriously, I don't even know why the Greedy Old Pedophiles is running -- watch out for your kids' safety.

"just a piece of paper" GWB

Fact: Obama reversed himself on his pledge to stick to public financing weeks ago.  Yet nobody in the mainstream media made any kind of stink about that. Why?

Oh, right - he's a liberal democrat.  How silly of me.

Jer, Fontana,
Do you have a sorce to back up your allegation? Actually, I think I do remember Obama flip flopped on this issue -- after voluntarily banning special interest money from reaching his campaign, he let unions help with some of the financing. I think actckeck.org has addressed this issue already, so you may want to conduct a little research. I urge you to try to post sources when leveling allegations against any candidate.
