McCain: The Myanmar mess

Uh Oh!

Team Obama will not only have to drag McCain, and his sorry campaign staff along for the Barack Show in the GE, but McGimme-more, needs to hire Obama's people to moonlight as his campaign managers too!!

Barack will bring the country together, but McCain is asking for a little tooooo much, waaaaay tooooo soon!

Don't you just wish you could wave a wand and make all these leaders truly care about their people and have the foresight to get a handle on these problems before they arise? (And we are not immune to that malaise and poor political will here either.)

All we can do is show (by our example) all these other countries that even imperfect democracy leads to good outcomes.

As for the guilt by association, see my comment below (which I hope gets posted LOL so I don't have to repeat it). Shorthand, I'm trying not to do much of the guilt by association thing this Summer.

McCain has been give an free ride by the media. They have not discussed his eondorsement by revs. Hagee and Parsley who are knowm for making inflammatory comments to gays, women and people of color. The media had not discussed that his campaign is managed by lobbiest which contradicts his statements that he is aganist them as well as breaking the FEC campagin rules. the list continues. Hopefully his free ride is over.

John ,would you like for the people to think your supporters are a bit out of touch.That is the whole idea, is for people to see what you stand for then they can decide.Raising questions about your stance is not a way to distact voters,trying to confuse them with whinning about who is looking into you position,which seem to change on any given day is very distracting.If you would just stick to what you have said instead of all the Filp flopping it would be less mystifing to your campaign.

bush/cheney/mccant all play cozy with right wing dictators from hitler to south american right wing killing squads so mayanmarr is no different, they all represent oppression of the working class and special privaliges for the rich.

"By accepting the Obama campaign construct as if it were objective, Evan and Richard framed this race exactly as Senator Obama wants it to be framed ..."

The McCain people should be grateful the media has given him a pass on his many gaffes and lies, and more recently on his close friendship to the criminal and advocate of political violence, G. Gordon Liddy that was exposed in the Chicago Tribune and the Huffington Post. What McCain's people are really whining about is that the corporate media's pro-McCain bias is somewhat less than 100%. I'd put it at about 95%.

The environmental issue has boiled down to a sparring match between the scientific community which overwhelmingly agrees on a severe global warming problem and the right wing business community which is focused on protecting short term profits. The business community/Wall Street has a well organized and well funded disinformation campaign to convince the public that there is no man-made global warming and we need to protect short term profits as a priority. We have lost eight years with a right wing administration that has no qualms about cooking the books to push their ideology. If the scientific community is closer to the truth than the right wing propaganda machine, the consequences will be global death and suffering that make most of history's genocides look mild in comparison.

Could McCain get a flip-flopper reputation now? I know that the "maverick" title is really undeserved. There are times that people don't like what the rest of their group is doing but they come back to the fold most times. His environmental stands are not strong enough to really call himself pro-environment. Without the encourage and force of law to require power companies to start using cleaner power sources, they won't.

To say that McCain is immune to all the "politics as usual" things is absurd. We are all human and can't completely know anyone else. Every campaign has let go staff or had staff resign to save the campaign.

"Hypocrite" McCain's abysmal record on the environment will be a huge target for Barack Obama to show McCain's poor judgment over the past few decades. All of a sudden Alzheimer McCain wants to revise history to hide his constant war against environmentalists.

Go Obama 08/12!

Live by the lobbyist, die by the lobbyist. The fun is just getting started for Grampa. Let's see how 'cool' he stays when the heat starts getting turned up.

And, btw, who's corroborating the bimbo issue?

Combine a thorough examination character over the past 35 years with where he sits on the issues and the Republican lack of enthusiasm for him which led to the 2007 dropout will become apparent.

John McCain and his free ride is over. I hope they scrub his record just like Obama had his. I want to hear more about Mccain and his ties to lobbyist. I want to hear why he flip flops on evry issue. I want to hear about his true role in the Keaton 5. How does he plan to make Americas Dollar strong again. What about repairing are relationship with the rest of our allies. McCain is a joke. If you vote for him, dont cry for the next for years.(That last line is for all of these Hillary supporters who will cut off thier nose to spite thier face)

It amazes me that people can't see how one-sided this election will be. McCain is such an easy target, it's laughable. The media hasn't even started looking at him yet due to the Dem's primary. He better quit whining, because he has a lot more scrutiny to bear. It will be Obama 57-42 in November.

Why is it that Republicans, who speak out of one side of their mouth about deocratizing the rest of the world then make big-money deals with anti-democratic juntas? Could it be they DON'T really believe in democracy---or is it just they'd be willing to support a junta that starves its own people, as long as there was MONEY in it for them?

Once again, we have to choose our next president from a list of loosers. Obama is trying to make a name for his self, despite having little background to stand on. MCain -- an over the hill ex-military gent who seems more then likely to be a 3rd round Bush. Although a Decocrat, I am at a loss to choose one, so in the end I'll more then likely just not vote. One is as good as the other, the last 4 presidential winners support this view, I voted for none that got in office. Like the gas prices, we the public will just buck up and pay the price whatever the results.
