McCain is a F'ing Sellout and a paranoid McQeeg ready to blow.

McCain has disgraced us before with his attack on the 1st amendment (McCain-Fiengold), he goes out of his way to bash fellow Republicans, and now he is author of the biggest sellout of America ever - immigration deform. $2.5 trillion in costs, huge social dislocation, and a massive blow to lower income Americans who will have to compete with the 12 million legalized illegal aliens and their families who will be allowed to come in. As many as 100 million could come in the next generation. The largest unfunded mandate ever and a huge burden on social security, our parks, roads, hospitals ... and taxpayers.  

Sen Reid insults us by trying to fast track this massive and complex bill. McCain insults us futher by insisting we dont deserve to criticize it.

what does McCain say to those who question it? "F--- you".... well, FU back Senator McCain. I hope you lose miserably in the Presidential nomination and I hope any politician foolish enough to support this dreadful amnesty bill has a shortened political career.

His full name is Willard Milton Romney.  Now do you know why he goes by Mitt? LOL! I don't know what possessed his parents to give him that horrible name, but Mitt is about as good as you're going to get out of that mess.  Fun tidbit: His oldest son's name is Tagg.  No joke.

Anyway, I think Mitt is a great candidate, and exactly what this country needs.  The more pressure put on him, the better he shines.  Go Mitt Go!!

Senator John McCain pretty much destroyed his limping Presidential campaign’s chances today on his appearance on “Meet The Press” with Tim Russert. . . After four years, out of 12 Iraqi battalions, only two are ready to fight independently without US support; that’s a mere 6,000 troops. What happened to the 170,000 troops fantasy that former defense secretary Don Rumsfeld once claimed? At this rate, it will take at least 30 years for Iraq to have another 45,000 troops ready. When Russert asked McCain how long Iraq would need a US presence, he lost his composure and snapped, “We’ve had troops in South Korea for 60 years.” __________ May 22, 2007 http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2007/05/22/MNG7QPV65N1.DTL
The Bush administration is quietly on track to nearly double the number of combat troops in Iraq this year, an analysis of Pentagon deployment orders showed Monday. The little-noticed second surge, designed to reinforce U.S. troops in Iraq, is being executed by sending more combat brigades and extending tours of duty for troops already there. ______________ May 21, 2007

Military deaths have been rising since fall, and the first half of this year has already been deadlier than any six-month period since the war began more than four years ago. . . Death Count: http://icasualties.org/oif/

Meanwhile John McCain and hisBushite allies are hurling horrible and nasty insults at Mitt and others who DARE to stand up for American sovereignty and the will of the American people who want fairness, the rule of law and our borders secured FIRST, before any V-Visa amnesty is given to people.

Why has the wall only been completedby a few measly miles and we still see non-enforcement of CURRENT IMMIGRATION LAW-even to this day? Why do we see IMMEDIATE legal absorption of between 12- 15 million new immigrants, and many millions more of their relatives soon, given special treatment and preference just for breaking, then evading, then demanding they get amnesty over more desperately needed highly skilled immigrants waiting in line LEGALLY? Why do we see that the NET total cost of their consumption of government benefits used over a lifetimee versesthe taxes they pay will cost our children a staggering $2,300,000,000,000 trillion dollars? Why do we  see the potential for devastating consequences to our social, economic and cultural fabric with even more future strain on our already crowded hospitals, prisons, schools, and government services? 

And why have the Bushites hurled insults against their fellow Republicans who dare question their conspiracy of betrayal against American sovereignty and the rule of law?

As a body language expert for the last 25 years I was asked to analize his cues for Psychology Today. His lack of conviction is indicated by a contraindicative head shaking. I have watched over 6 hours of him n tape and He often shakes his head side to side while making a positive statement. For example in a interview with Hannity on Fox news when saying, “ I don’t think people care a lot about which church you belong to.", he shook his head side to side indicating a no as he said, “I don’t think people care a lot…”  When a person makes a positive definitive statement and shake his head no it appears that he is lying. (This is such a powerful cue is one I taught in my interviews and interrogation techniques courses to law enforcement.)  So, in the statement saying no while shaking the head yes makes it looks like he actually believes they DO care a lot! He even does it on a video on his own website as he discusses what he believes. Like a twisted mouth shows your talking out of the side of your mouth this may be a habitual cue showing he is not sure what he believes. 
He also like McCain in several of his interviews uses a “masking”, a tense fake smile to cover his displeasure at how the interview is going. 

While many candidates, Giuliani, Clinton and Edwards use aggressive and powerful chopping motions as they speak Romney’s hands more often stay cupped and sweep out which makes him appear less definitive and aggressive and on the issues. He even does this in a video of his speech on topic he says he belives strongly about such the Islamic Jihad.

     You claim he was making a positive statement and shaking his head side to side as if to say "no", then give the quote you are referring to “ I don’t think people care a lot about which church you belong to."  Is it just me, or did anyone else notice this IS a negative statement.  The shaking of his head could be seen as saying in response to a question or implication that people would care, that "[no], I don't think...".  Totally appropriate, IMO.  You then confuse you point further by saying "So, in the statement saying no while shaking the head yes makes it looks like he actually believes they DO care a lot!"  I thought you said previously that he was saying yes while shaking his head no, not the other way around.  In actuality, he was saying "no" while shaking his head "no".  I wonder what that might mean in body language analysis?  We may never know.
     As for the twisting of the mouth when speaking, I have nerve damage to my depressor anguli oris muscle, so one side of my mouth doesn't move much when I talk.  If you were to analyse my speech on video, you might conclude that everthing I said was fabrication.  I could say "I'm a male" or "I am alive", and apparently I would be lying.  And you can say giuliani is more difinitive by his chopping motion while speaking, problem is, when you see his face and hear the sound of his voice and hear the words that he speaks, he comes off (usually, with exeptions) as unsure, afraid to answer a question, wishy-washy, etc.  But he has the "chop", so he must have true convictions, right?  Romney doesn't have to rely on chopping the air, his words and his tone show his convictions.  </description></item><item><title>Romney doesn't take the bait</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/22/199827.aspx#200630</link><pubDate>Wed, 23 May 2007 14:12:37 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:200630</guid><dc:creator>David, Harlem, Georgia</dc:creator><description>Romney has shown class every time I've seen him questioned about attacks on him from any source, candidates, press, etc.  The 60 Minutes interview is just one example.  Even when Wallace kept pushing him to speak badly of Bush, he wouldn't.  He stayed on message, saying how the *Administration* had not handled the war properly.  With Mitt, the policies are the key.  Come to think of it, Mitt didn't even say anything negative about Al Sharpton after Sharpton's crazy statement recently.  Mitt called it an unfortunate statement, but didn't call Sharpton a bigot, even though many people probably think he would have been justified in doing so.</description></item><item><title>Romney doesn't take the bait</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/22/199827.aspx#200990</link><pubDate>Wed, 23 May 2007 16:06:50 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:200990</guid><dc:creator>Paul Miller, Woodbridge, VA</dc:creator><description>frofreak - that was my immediate reaction, too. I don't know anything about body language as a discipline, but I tried saying the same line myself. It was more nature to shake my head in the negative than to nod. Nodding when using the word "don't" in a sentence just seems stupid.

Can you point out some instances of your accusation? I have never heard that one before.

By the way, it is good to see that Mitt Romney has been happily married for over 35 years and have five sons backing him. Mitt will NOT be cheating on his wife and his sons will NOT be causing trouble.

P.S. Although I don't prescribe to his religious convictions, I have always admired most Mormons for their clean-cut dress attire and their mostly courteous mannerisms and treatment of most people.

It's not their fault the other candidates are so weak in this dept.  If you are refering to the joke about the irony that the mormon candidate is the only one to be married only once, well, I think that was intended more as a light hearted attempt to assure some that mormon's do not endorse polygamy.  Though I suppose that one could be interpreted differently.  Either way, hardly an attack.  Now if they had said instead that giuliani was a heartless, wife-humiliating adulterer who's own kids wanted nothing to do with him...</description></item><item><title>Romney doesn't take the bait</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/05/22/199827.aspx#203060</link><pubDate>Thu, 24 May 2007 19:23:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:203060</guid><dc:creator>reddog, urbandale, ia</dc:creator><description>hhaaa ha ha ha ha, we're all sc***ed folks. romney is probably the best candidate we have or duncan hunter or brownback [in my humble opinion] but can we withstand another 4 years of republican abuses?

Go do some research! Mitt even made the statement "Single people should not be single and enjoy their life, they should be married" I will find these links soon. And LOL, HOW on earth do you know that Romney will never cheat??? His wife has MS the poor thing, I hope he doesn't. Research what a poor governor he was for our state! No, you guys don't know anything, you repeat what you hear only. Yes, Frofreak, the way the Romneys "joked" about the marriage thing, was indeed very cutting and cruel. And, out of 6 'men', NONE of the Romneys have ever served our country in uniform ! That is unacceptable really. Romney closed down a home in MA for the severely disabled, families begged for it to stay open. He is heartless. BTW Romney is not half the man and hero Guiliani is. READ EVERYTHING, if you really care to, then you will see these articles and statements. Go research the Boston Herald story by columist Margery Egan entitled "Romney's My-family-is-better-than-your-family-Tour..." (March or April 2007 )See, it's this attitude that people like me find pathetic. (And I am far from alone on this subject).

The Romneyans didn’t find it amusing. Said one at the top of the command structure (who should have had the guts to attach his name to his comments): “That’s what happens to a guy of McCain’s age when he doesn’t take his Metamucil."

You think Giuliani is a man?  Why, are you one of his mistresses?  What kind of a man publically (and privately) humiliates his wife and kids through public adultery.  What kind of man announces a divorce to his wife in a public press release.  Ya, that's manly alright.  And let's be clear.  Giuliani is most definately NOT a hero.  First, he put the emergency response team in the WTC after it was attacked the first time, before 9/11.  Then, probably because he didn't have an emergency response team, at 9/11 he wandered the streets in dismay not knowing what to do.  Ok, so he finally ended up giving a speech.  That's heroism??
Get a grip!!!!

Giuliani is a man and a hero and Romney is heartless??  First, no real man would ever hang his wife and kids out to dry (publically and privately).  No real man would commit adultery and inform his wife he was leaving her for his girlfriend ON TV!!  Takes a real man to do that, he couldn't even have the guts to tell her in person. By my definition, all his actions against his family are "heartless".  Second, the only thing you've led to so far on Romney is some article by Margery Egan, who is a far right loony who truly is misguided.  Third, Romney has great pride in his own family and has had for many years.  Are you saying that Giuliani is offended by a good family?  That poor "man".  Any embarassment he feels around Romney's family, he brought on entirely by himself.  Does he expect that everyone would roll over and accept his behavior?  Fourth, Giuliani is not a hero.  He wandered aimlessly through the streets of NY not knowing what to do on 9/11.  Maybe thats because he made the brilliant move of putting the city's emergency response team in the WTC before 9/11 after it had already been attacked once!  That's heroism for you.  Ok, I guess he did make a speech or two, and now he is an "expert" on terrorism because he was a victom.
Get a grip.

If we claim to be tolerant and intelligent people, then we owe it to ourselves to seek truth rather than fiction. All of the members of the "Mormon" Church that I have ever met have been extremely polite, honest, hard working and kind to anyone that they meet. I have always noticed something "different" about the members of this church, and I mean that in a very positive way. We could all learn alot about how to act from this group whou receives such harsh and unfair criticism from ignorant Americans.</description></item></channel></rss>
