Meet The Real John McCain [ "9/10" Streisand "Statement" Alert! ]
Barbra Streisand.com ^ | 9/10/08 | Barbra Streisand.com

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 you’d 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.

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?

9-11 Truth Movement, or something along those lines, I’m guessing.

Yeah, I forgot, Keith Obamaman had a “special commentary” again tonight. When he does one of those it sort of reminds of the Movie Network when Howard Beale has to make his witness.

I meant to watch, but I was feeling too well.

Here we go again - another “feminist” declaring that the only thing all women care about is abortion, abortion, abortion - whenever, wherever, whoever

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, I will continue to charge people $2,000 per ticket for my annual farewell tour.

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?
