Why would I want to be the leader of a party of such a**holes?"

no problems with it, in their views and their philosophy."

"I have to tell you, [Obama] is a decent person, a person that you
do not have to be scared [of] as president of the United States."
U.S. SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, 10 OCT. 2008

I would rather have a clean government
than one whose — quote — First Amendment rights
are being respected that has become corrupt.
If I had my choice, I’d rather have a clean government.

John McCain, you treasonous bastard, I challenge you or any of your traitorous cohorts...

Juan McCain is a disgusting human being. The McCains & Cheneys are promoters of gay marriage/sodomy.

[TigersEye]

Oh, yeah! Most un-American legislation ever voted into law. Thankfully the Supreme Court has tossed most of it in the trash bin of history. McNuts should follow it.

[GodGunsGuts]

Wow, JBS co-sponsors CPAC, Drudge is now posting articles from the New American...it would appear that the JBS is making a bit of a comeback! Good find!!!

[bigoil]

Just get US OUT of the UN!

[Tzimisce]

For later.

[GodGunsGuts]

Amen to that! Of course, it would not be nearly enough...but it would be a great start!

[ImpBill]

The major "shame" that so many Americans have either never known or care to remember is the manner in which Juan treated the families of the MIA after the Viet Nam WAR!!!!!!@

[lentulusgracchus]

[Article] The President’s concern about “powerful interests” is highly selective, as we shall see.

No kidding. Soros-bloated 527's good, National Rifle Association and Hillary: The Movie bad.

EMILY's List good, Citizens United bad.

We get it, Barack. "Marcusian toleration".

“The Palin bumper sticker arrived in the mail today.

It will be used as soon as there is concrete evidence that she does not tie the line for Juan on amnesty, bailouts, cap-and-trade, and Big Government Socialism, more generally.

I pray that the idiots of AZ who have been inflicting this asshole on us all these years finally see the light and dump him as far the hell out in the desert as they can.

Don’t mean to wander off topic here, but, IMO, one of the reasons the republicans lost so big in 2006 was because they outlawed internet gambling in the USA, and they didn’t learn from that mistake.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"Susie’s Flower Shop might not be much of a match for the Washington Post or for corporations like AIG or Goldman Sachs, to cite just a couple of the corporations that have benefited from the government’s bailout of large portions of the financial industry. But it is entitled to the same constitutionally protected rights."

My favorite line. The hypocrisy of the media on this is simply stunning. If anyone denied them their first amendment rights, we'd never hear the end of it. They like the law because they want to corner the market on political speech and control what we think.

Remember when McCain tried to become the VP nominee FOR THE DEMOCRAT?

The present day mccain is a fool and I will not suffer fools gladly.

I read about it after the fact, and I found his actions puzzling and depressing.

In his activities related to the Vietnamese War MIA's and left-behind captives, his senatorial colleague and helper was the infamous traitor and turncoat, John Kerry, who needs to go on trial for his actions in the Winter Soldier treason campaign.

Skerry's actions were more consistent with his previous treason than McCain's were with his own past. McCain is puzzling in that regard.

Buried in McCain/Feingold was a special exemption for Indian tribes, who just happen to line McCain’s pockets.
Mc/Feingold was never about campaign finance reform. It was about getting what McCain thought he needed.

The McCain-Feingold Indian Giving Loophole
by Michelle Malkin (April 11, 2001)

[snip] deep-pocketed special interest group remains curiously silent amid the furor over campaign finance “reform”: Indian tribes. Why?

You might think tribal leaders would be swarming Capitol Hill, joining other business groups and trade associations that are rightly worried about the McCain-Feingold bill’s deleterious effect on their ability to participate in the political process. Under McCain-Feingold, so-called “soft money” donations (which are currently unregulated and unlimited) would be banned. That would presumably be a big blow to Indian tribes, particularly those who run casinos, whose soft-money giving has exploded in the last few years.

Final tallies are not in yet, but analysts say the top individual recipient of Indian gaming money during election 2000 was none other than anti-soft money crusader Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who sits on the Senate Committee of Indian Affairs.
