The media has labeled John McCain a moderate maverick and a reformer. That moniker could not be more misrepresentative of the core values of the current Republican candidate running for President.
The real John McCain has a history of voting against women, veterans, education and the preservation of our civil liberties, in addition to abstaining completely from voting to safeguard our environment in 2007.
McCain stated in January of 2008 at the March of Life in Washington DC, "If I am fortunate enough to be elected as the next President of the United States, I pledge to you to be a loyal and unswerving friend of the right to life movement."
McCain also pledged to appoint judges in the mold of conservatives John Roberts and Samuel Alito, who he feels are jurists of the highest caliber. And the much revered war hero was 1 of only 13 Republicans to vote against benefits for veterans, preferring to give tax cuts to the rich, rather than provide veterans with adequate healthcare.
In 2000, George W. Bush campaigned as the compassionate conservative and pundits praised him as the anti-elite cowboy youd want to share a beer with.
As our country spirals into a recession, as gas prices climb past $4.00 a gallon, as banks foreclose on families homes, as the middle class disappears and more Americans become trapped in poverty, five major oil companies reported record breaking profits so far this year, with Exxon-Mobile making a $40.6 billion windfall alone. These last eight years under the compassionate Bush Administration, the rich have become richer at the expense of hardworking Americans.

On the eve of 9/11--- it's only fitting that we're blessed with another of Barbra's disjointed "9/10 Mentality" rants...
Is Babs still around? I thought she died.
Maybe South Park will do another special on her....way funny they are.
I just watched to a couple of minutes of Keith Oberdork and his rant. The guy is certifiable! He kept referring to 911TM. What is that?
Babs, pretty please with sugar on top keep flapping those lips, it can only help John McCain.
Is she still here?
9-11 Truth Movement, or something along those lines, I’m guessing.
wonder how much of her wealth she has given back to those hardworking americans that are being ripped off by the oil companies?
I meant to watch, but I was feeling too well.
OK, you are more brave than I am to actually go to this hell hole...err website to get this story.
Where’s Robert Smith when you need him?
“Disintegration is the best album ever!”
Here we go again - another “feminist” declaring that the only thing all women care about is abortion, abortion, abortion - whenever, wherever, whoever
I just watched a South Park babs eppy. They really dislike her as much as I do!

Stan: Like John Elway important?
Barbra Streisand: What?!
Stan: D’you know John Elway?
Barbra Streisand: No!
Stan: Oh, so you’re really famous and important but you don’t know John Elway!
I thought she promised to move out of the country if Bush was reelected. This raises two questions: 1) Why is she still here, and 2) Does anyone really give a sh$% what she thinks?
