'STRAIGHT TALK' EXPRESS TAKES SCENIC ROUTE TO TRUTH
January 23, 2008


John McCain is Bob Dole minus the charm, conservatism and youth. Like McCain, pollsters assured us that Dole was the most "electable" Republican. Unlike McCain, Dole didn't lie all the time while claiming to engage in Straight Talk.

Of course, I might lie constantly too, if I were seeking the Republican presidential nomination after enthusiastically promoting amnesty for illegal aliens, Social Security credit for illegal aliens, criminal trials for terrorists, stem-cell research on human embryos, crackpot global warming legislation and free speech-crushing campaign-finance laws.

I might lie too, if I had opposed the Bush tax cuts, a marriage amendment to the Constitution, waterboarding terrorists and drilling in Alaska.

And I might lie if I had called the ads of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth "dishonest and dishonorable."

McCain angrily denounces the suggestion that his "comprehensive immigration reform" constituted "amnesty" -- on the ludicrous grounds that it included a small fine. Even the guy who graduated fifth from the bottom of his class at the U.S. Naval Academy didn't fall for this a few years ago.

In 2003, McCain told The Tucson Citizen that "amnesty has to be an important part" of any immigration reform. He also rolled out the old chestnut about America's need for illegals, who do "jobs that American workers simply won't do."

McCain's amnesty bill would have immediately granted millions of newly legalized immigrants Social Security benefits. He even supported allowing work performed as an illegal to count toward Social Security benefits as recently as a vote in 2006 -- now adamantly denied by Mr. Straight Talk.

McCain keeps boasting that he was "the only one" of the Republican presidential candidates who supported the surge in Iraq.

What is he talking about? All Republicans supported the surge -- including Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani. The only ones who didn't support it were McCain pals like Sen. Chuck Hagel. Indeed, the surge is the first part of the war on terrorism that caused McCain to break from Hagel in order to support the president.

True, McCain voted for the war. So did Hillary Clinton. Like her, he then immediately started attacking every other aspect of the war on terrorism. (The only difference was, he threw in frequent references to his experience as a POW, which currently outnumber John Kerry's references to being a Vietnam vet.)

Thus, McCain joined with the Democrats in demanding O.J. trials for terrorists at Guantanamo, including his demand that the terrorists have full access to the intelligence files being used to prosecute them.

These days, McCain gives swashbuckling speeches about the terrorists who "will follow us home." But he still opposes dripping water down their noses. He was a POW, you know. Also a member of the Keating 5 scandal, which you probably don't know, and won't -- until he becomes the Republican nominee.

Though McCain was far from the only Republican to support the surge, he does have the distinction of being the only Republican who voted against the Bush tax cuts. (Also the little lamented Sen. Lincoln Chafee, who later left the Republican Party.) Now McCain claims he opposed the tax cuts because they didn't include enough spending cuts. But that wasn't what he said at the time.

To the contrary, in 2001, McCain said he was voting against Bush's tax cuts based on the idiotic talking point of the Democrats. "I cannot in good conscience," McCain said, "support a tax cut in which so many of the benefits go to the most fortunate among us at the expense of middle-class Americans who need tax relief."

McCain started and fanned the vicious anti-Bush myth that, before the 2000 South Carolina primary, the Bush campaign made phone calls to voters calling McCain a "liar, cheat and a fraud" and accusing him of having an illegitimate black child.

On the thin reed of a hearsay account, McCain immediately blamed the calls on Bush. "I'm calling on my good friend George Bush," McCain said, "to stop this now. He comes from a better family. He knows better than this."

You should read the thread.

Thanks. I try to read most threads that interest me, but it's a little tougher when the same Ann column (like this one) gets posted at least three times (that I know of).

FRegards,
LH

[Syncro]

Yea, I hear you.

There is one other one this week posted 5 hours after this one.

Funny, when ever I post it after someone else does, it’s taken off.

Thanks for the BUMP!

WTFBBQ??? Gotta check THAT out...

Thanks RonDog, the more the merrier!

LOL

I’ve posted a duplicate Coulter thread a couple of times, and they were zapped...

[CRBDeuce]

Well, then, you’re one step ahead of me, I have to admit I have NOT looked at his record in MA....just going by Annie comments...and my gut feel that if he’s good enough for her, he’s good enough! That said I won’t be voting for him in the Primary.

[ChessExpert]

This is a tour de force by Ann. I think she’s been keeping an eye on McCain for some time.

[Vision]

I am getting so scared about next year. Cheney is the best bet.

[ChessExpert]

“He still slams Rummy every chance he can. I find that despicable.”

He does, and it is despicable. It plays well to the press.

Nothing to fear, Sailor.
We survived 8 years of a yellow-bellied draft dodger;
we can survive anything. LOL

Worse case scenario, Hitlery is elected and the Gelding Old Party gets a testicles & spine implant in 2009 and conservatives take over the party.

Of course, I would like to see Cheney nominated & win.
How ‘bout an Ann Coulter or Mark Levin VP?

Corpsman Up!

I appreciate the confidence. After Thompson left, supporting Romney has me shaky.

Ann is just being a realist.

[AmericanVictory]

We really agree on her point about his supposed “electability.” Beware of Dickie Morris and Patrick Caddell bearing gifts. And Bob Dole actually was a war hero not a non-hero whom pressies were calling a war hero.

[editor-surveyor]

"Ann really needs a new hair style."

NOT !

[Uri’el-2012]

And Bob Dole actually was a war hero not a non-hero whom pressies were calling a war hero.

Amen !
