"I can see a steaming mad McCain blowing a debate can't you?"

Bttt

[Tut]

Just for kicks and grins, I did a search for the posts that you have posted here and it looks to me like you are a one issue kind of guy. Your focus was entirely of John McCain.

I brought this up because I went to your first link with a whole lot of claims with a couple chosen bits out of a couple articles that try to lend at least some credibility to the rest of the stuff on that page.

I was never in any of those back rooms where McCain was supposable said or done all of that so I wouldn’t know one way or the other how true they are.

Until I get better intel from someone that I figure doesn’t have an ax to grind, I can only assume this is just a hit job by someone’s else’s lackey.

Again.... I’m not for or against McCain but I sure don’t want to be manipulated from someone with an agenda and dishonorable intentions.

I think you need to come out with something a whole lot more concrete that just throwing around filth and mud at people that seems to stand in your way.

Such smears are a low blow when they are in this site.

Incorrect. The facts in Scat's links - - are precisely McCain.

The John McCain Truth Files

Capitol Hill staffers rate their bosses.
McCain got no glory from those who work with him.
“Every election year we survey top aides on both sides of the aisle—administrative assistants, press secretaries, legislative directors, and chiefs of committee staffs—to get their up-close and personal, and anonymous, views. While there may be lots of partisan backbiting among congress members, their staffers seem far more capable of putting politics aside and making honest judgments. It wasn’t unusual for aides in both parties to name one of their own as “spineless” or give the “workhorse” nod to someone across the aisle. “

THE McCAIN WAY - ATTACK REPUBLICANS

Defending His Amnesty Bill, “Presidential hopeful John McCain - who has been dogged for years by questions about his volcanic temper - erupted in an angry, profanity-laced tirade at a fellow Republican senator, sources told The Post yesterday. In a heated dispute over immigration-law overhaul, McCain screamed, ‘F— you!’ at Texas Sen. John Cornyn, who had been raising concerns about the legislation. ‘This is chickens—stuff,’ McCain snapped at Cornyn, according to several people in the room off the Senate floor Thursday. ‘You’ve always been against this bill, and you’re just trying to derail it.’” (Charles Hurt, “Raising McCain,” New York Post, 5/19/07)

In 2000, Sen. McCain Ran An Attack Ad Comparing Then-Gov. George W. Bush To Bill Clinton. SEN. MCCAIN: “I guess it was bound to happen. Governor Bush’s campaign is getting desperate, with a negative ad about me. The fact is, I’ll use the surplus money to fix Social Security, cut your taxes and pay down the debt. Governor Bush uses all of the surplus for tax cuts, with not one new penny for Social Security or the debt. His ad twists the truth like Clinton. We’re all pretty tired of that. As president, I’ll be conservative and always tell you the truth. No matter what.” (McCain 2000, Campaign Ad, 2/9/00; www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHoXkCprdL4)

Sen. McCain Repeatedly Called Sen. Pete Domenici (R-NM) nams. “Why can’t McCain win the votes of his own colleagues? To explain, a Republican senator tells this story: at a GOP meeting last fall, McCain erupted out of the blue at the respected Budget Committee chairman, Pete Domenici, saying, ‘Only an a–hole would put together a budget like this.’ Offended, Domenici stood up and gave a dignified, restrained speech about how in all his years in the Senate, through many heated debates, no one had ever called him that. Another senator might have taken the moment to check his temper. But McCain went on: ‘I wouldn’t call you an a–hole unless you really were an a–hole.’ The Republican senator witnessing the scene had considered supporting McCain for president, but changed his mind. ‘I decided,’ the senator told Newsweek, ‘I didn’t want this guy anywhere near a trigger.’” (Evan Thomas, et al., “Senator Hothead,” Newsweek, 2/21/00)

Sen. McCain Had A Heated Exchange With Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA) And Called Him A “F*cking Jerk.” “Senators are not used to having their intelligence or integrity challenged by another senator. ‘Are you calling me stupid?’ Sen. Chuck Grassley once inquired during a debate with McCain over the fate of the Vietnam MIAs, according to a source who was present. ‘No,’ replied McCain, ‘I’m calling you a f—ing jerk!” (Evan Thomas, et al., “Senator Hothead,” Newsweek, 2/21/00)

In 1995, Sen. McCain Had A “Scuffle” With 92-Year-Old Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-SC) On The Senate Floor. “In January 1995, McCain was midway through an opening statement at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing when chairman Strom Thurmond asked, ‘Is the senator about through?’ McCain glared at Thurmond, thanked him for his ‘courtesy’ (translation: buzz off), and continued on. McCain later confronted Thurmond on the Senate floor. A scuffle ensued, and the two didn’t part friends.” (Harry Jaffe, “Senator Hothead,” The Washingtonian, 2/97)

Sen. McCain Attacked Christian Leaders And Republicans In A Blistering Speech During The 2000 Campaign. MCCAIN: “Unfortunately, Governor Bush is a Pat Robertson Republican who will lose to Al Gore. … The political tactics of division and slander are not our values… They are corrupting influences on religion and politics, and those who practice them in the name of religion or in the name of the Republican Party or in the name of America shame our faith, our party and our country. Neither party should be defined by pandering to the outer reaches of American politics and the agents of intolerance, whether they be Louis Farrakhan or Al Sharpton on the left, or Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell on the right.” (Sen. John McCain, Remarks, Virginia Beach, VA, 2/28/00)

Celebrating His First Senate Election In 1986, Sen. McCain Screamed At And Harassed A Young Volunteer. “It was election night 1986, John McCain had just been elected to the U.S. Senate for the first time. Even so, he was not in a good mood. McCain was yelling at the top of his lungs and poking the chest of a young volunteer who had set up a lectern that was too tall for the 5-foot-9 politician to be seen to advantage, according to a witness to the outburst. ‘Here this poor guy is thinking he has done a good job, and he gets a new butt ripped because McCain didn’t look good on television,’ Jon Hinz told a reporter Thursday. At the time, Hinz was executive director of the Arizona Republican Party. … ‘There were an awful lot of people in the room,’ Hinz recalled. ‘You’d have to stick cotton in your ears not to hear it. He (McCain) was screaming at him, and he was red in the face.’” (Kris Mayes and Charles Kelly, “Stories Surface On Senator’s Demeanor,” The Arizona Republic, 11/5/99)

Sen. McCain “Publicly Abused” Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL). “[McCain] noted his propensity for passion but insisted that he doesn’t ‘insult anybody or fly off the handle or anything like that.’ This is, quite simply, hogwash. McCain often insults people and flies off the handle…. There have been the many times McCain has called reporters ‘liars’ and ‘idiots’ when they have had the audacity to ask him unpleasant, but pertinent, questions. ” (Editorial, “There’s Something About McCain,” The Austin American-Statesman, 1/24/07)

Is it any wonder McCain has few endorsements from his Congressional piers? http://thehill.com/endorsements-2008.html

Geez, if you are going to do a vanity like this, you ought to have real links at least.

Get to the HTML sandbox, figure it out, and put in real links.

[callisto]

FoxNews just interviewed both McCain and Hillary. At one point puting them both on split screen asking about if it came down to the two of them in the general. MCCain started to comment that it would be friendly and Hill jumped in implying it would be a competetion. McCain backstepped implying that it would be friendly and a race. She’s looking forward to the general against him and will tear him a new you-know-what.

[callisto]

Excellent compilation of data, AuntB!

[Paine's Ghost]

You can bet Henry Waxman will just need to call on congress to have some investigations on Keating 5.

[seekthetruth]

One point to remember is that ALL the bad press the MSM has about John McCain just happens to be true! If McCain were to happen (don’t believe he will) to win the nomination, it will make the MSM for once tell the truth!

[ScratInTheHat]

Bud I’m just doing a reminder on this stuff.

It’s going to come out and kill him in the general.

So you think he wasn’t in the Keating mess?

Some of his rants were on the senate floor man! Wake up and smell the coffee!

Do the research and tell me what is wrong about any of this stuff posted here!

Saying “it job” is the easy way out.

[Nate505]

Someone’s dirty laundry will be aired if they run for President?!?!?!

The HELL you say!

[Tut]

Yea? This comes from his first link. I'll give you some quotes and you provide concrete proof that these are real.

The Real John McCain

Citizens for Life, a New Hampshire group, complained in ads that McCain once referred to the Leisure World senior citizens home as ''Seizure World.''

McCain, reveling in adoration at a June 1998 Republican fund-raiser and sure his joke would go no further, said: "Do you know why Chelsea Clinton is so ugly? Because Janet Reno is her father."

"The nice thing about Alzheimer's is you get to hide your own Easter eggs," John McCain said to reporters while sitting in his campaign bus.


It's your show now. Let me see you make these claims good. I always feel better when I can verify what is being said.

[CottonBall]

She said he has no support from the republican base, but they will have to hold their noses and take him

Sounds like mom is smarter than her son. But she's wrong in saying we'll have to vote for him. I will never, ever, ever vote for that traitor. I'll vote for a Dem first because at least they won't be tarnishing the Republican party and conservatives.

[Tut]

Then you shouldn’t have any problem making good on your claim then.

If you can’t.... drink your kool-aid.

[CottonBall]

Like hell I will! She must be as arrogant as her son!!! I will NEVER vote for McCain, EVER!

Same here. But you know we'll be endlessly nagged here that we need to keep Hillary out at all costs. Just as in '06, it'll be the 'lesser of evils' speech. But, personally, I think McCain is the more evil because he is pretending to be something he is not and will stab us in the back by pushing all the Democrat's agendas.
