This (yours ) should be mandatory posting on each and every GOP / McCain water carrier article that gets posted.

Thanks for staying on these topics and posting it.

The Mods (a Mod) told me to back off, essentially, a few weeks ago. Not because they had a problem with the info but because the post is so long and I was posting it a lot. I saw their point.

I decided myself that it is not appropriate or useful at this point in time to hammer it in. I tried for over 15 months to get it in front of as many FReepers as possible. It is on my homepage and anyone can read it and/or link to it.

Now it seems more appropriate when the question arises "why don't you support McCain" (like this thread which specifically asked that) and when people seem surprised and/or outraged that the MSM or the Dems call McCain's record into question. There should be no surprise about it. FR has been calling McCain's record into question far longer than my link list goes back.

IMO the NYTs recent lame "expose" is a setup. They picked something very lame and will take the heat for it willingly and intentionally. When everyone is satisfied that the NYTs has been thoroughly discredited and beat up for it they will publish something with meat in it. Then the rest of the press will jump on it looking to diss the NYTs some more. They will find substance in the 'new' story and the NYTs fecklessness will be forgotten.
