JOHN MCCAIN STORIES
Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that
our war hero---a man of undoubted talents who was a role model for many of his generation--is a congenital liar.
Tale by tale, McCain story lifted from a russian novelist, the case is being made he is compelled to mislead, and ensnare his subordinated and friends in a web of deceit. Take a good look at how drastically his carefully crafted images are lifted from Russia novelist. Senator McCain election year history book image is that of a man out of a story book which each written line change at the drop of a pen. Using poor judgment Senator McCain found himself in the middle of several real life situations he do not want to expose without the use of a pen to change the story line. Some things in history John McCain cannot change:(ref: words of all News media)

Will McCain say anything to win your vote? McCain may reinstate the Military draft. John McCain want to fight more wars!
Do John McCain care about the dead?
Many Middle class die in the Iraq war, and the America economy die in McCain-Bush wars.
CONGRESS WOMAN DEAD!
John McCain attack U.S. congress for a much needed vacation.
Who will McCain attack next?
STOP THE ATTACK MAC-----
John McCain is out of touch with the working class people in Ohio and Middle class Americans.
What will Mac do with your vacation?

Congresswoman Tubbs Jones dies after aneurysm
Democratic U.S. Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones, the first black woman to represent Ohio in Congress, was hospitalized Wednesday after suffering an aneurysm, her spokeswoman said.
Tubbs Jones, 58, had the aneurysm while driving her car in Cleveland Heights on Tuesday, spokeswoman Nicole Williams said. The congresswoman's condition has been stabilized at a hospital in East Cleveland, she said.
John McCain attack congress for going on a much needed vacation. Oil drilling is not going to happen over night and McCain/Bush has had years to push this through before congress vacation. Is Big oil, influence working with John McCain and Bush? Do McCain/Bush feel that human life is not important?
John McCain need to know the congresswoman was on a much needed vacation.
STOP THE ATTACK MAC----JOHN MCCAIN IS OUT OF TOUCH
WHO WILL MCCAIN ATTACK NEXT?
Economy Stupid!
--------McCain is in a state of mental numbness -------
A OLD FOOL THAT WILL NOT CHANGE ----MCCAIN
Their is not a speck of evidence that John McCain have won a war.

Today in a town hall meeting a lady said to McCain (among other things) that in order to follow on his pledge to "Follow Osama to the gates of hell if necessisary," He will probably have to institute the draft. His response?

"I certainly agree with everything you said."

MCCAIN WILL NOT RAISE INDIVIDUALS' TAXES NO MATTER HOW RICH THE WEALTHY; MCCAIN WILL NOT TAX CORPORATION NO MATTER HOW MUCH PROFIT THEY STOW AWAY. HAS MCCAIN TOLD ANYONE WHAT HE'S GOING TO DO TO START THE ECONOMY GROWING AGAIN? I WISH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WOULD THINK BEYONG THEIR RACIST ATTITUDE AND BIAS AND WEIGH WHAT BOTH CANDIDATES HAVE TO SAY AND WHAT THEY HAVE SAID IN THE PAST AND HOW CONVENIENTLY ONE CAN CHANGE TO SUIT THE SITUATION. MCCAIN IS SURELY AN OPPORTUNIST WHO SHOULD BE LOOKED AT CAREFULLY. IT SEEMS TO ME HE IS THE POT CURSING THE KETTLE BLACK WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT OBAMA WILL DO ANYTHING TO BE ELECTED. MCCAIN WILL DO AND SAY ANYTHING TO BE ELECTED, BUT IF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE CAN STAND FOUR MORE YEARS OF WARS AND LOSS OF JOBS AND NO IMPROVEMENT IN THE ECONOMY, LET THEM FALL FOR MCCAIN. YOU KNOW WHAT, MAYBE WE ALL DESERVE TO STARVE AND SUFFER FOR ALL THE WRONGS WE DO TO OTHERS AND GEORGE BUSH AND MCCAIN MAY JUST BE THE ONES PUT ON EARTH TO BRING OUR SUFFERING TO PASS. GEORGE BUSH START US ON THE ROAD TO HOPELESSNESS, MCCAIN WILL FINISH THE JOB.

You Republicans are kidding right ? You have to be joking that you are AFRAID Obama will bring this country down. We're lower than a snake's belly now thanks to BOOZING BUSH !!! He has so many countries ticked off at us and his friends say he is chomping at the bit to invade Iran. I'm not making this stuff up. Mark your calendars for Oct. 17 when the Bush movie "W" debutes, so you can refresh your memory of the "Bush good times that made our country soooo great" !

It is not racist to think a guy with no governmental experience is going to do a crappy job as president. What has Obama done, except for continuing to vote for all types of abortion and campaign? I do not like him and do no think he will do a good job as a president because of his views and lack of experience, not his color.

And you always say the Rebublicans play teh race card... Idiot

"MCCAIN WILL NOT RAISE INDIVIDUALS' TAXES NO MATTER HOW RICH THE WEALTHY;"

First off, the shift key is your friend.

Why should McCain raise taxes on anyone? Granted, Maverick isn't anywhere near conservative as Barry supporters would have you believe, and didn't buy into the Bush tax cuts until it was politically expedient to do so...but why would you want to penalize hard work and success by taxing "the rich" more than anyone else? And before we raise taxes, let's cut some spending first. Lots of it out there, just having the political will to do it is missing.

"MCCAIN WILL NOT TAX CORPORATION NO MATTER HOW MUCH PROFIT THEY STOW AWAY."

Curious...do you think that corporations pay for stuff like taxes out of their pockets, like you and me? What do you think increasing the tax burden on corporations will do to their incentive to invest? Do corporations tend to hire people, or do the operate on autopilot?

"I WISH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WOULD THINK BEYONG THEIR RACIST ATTITUDE AND BIAS AND WEIGH WHAT BOTH CANDIDATES HAVE TO SAY AND WHAT THEY HAVE SAID IN THE PAST AND HOW CONVENIENTLY ONE CAN CHANGE TO SUIT THE SITUATION."

Oh...you mean like Flip Flop Barry, who doesn't know where he'll stand on an issue five minutes from now because he doesn't have the polling data yet?

Honey, all politicians lie and say what they think people want to hear. If a candidate said "get used to high gas prices. I'll sign the bill if it gets to my desk, but Congress needs to pass it first," how many votes do you think he'll get?

And how is it racist to examine Barry's background and find little to nothing there but connections to hard left extremists who aren't very sorry that they blew $hit up and murdered people?

"IT SEEMS TO ME HE IS THE POT CURSING THE KETTLE BLACK WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT OBAMA WILL DO ANYTHING TO BE ELECTED. MCCAIN WILL DO AND SAY ANYTHING TO BE ELECTED"

I'm sorry, but that was so incredibly stupid that I can't stop laughing long enough to type a response.

"WE ALL DESERVE TO STARVE AND SUFFER FOR ALL THE WRONGS WE DO TO OTHERS AND GEORGE BUSH AND MCCAIN MAY JUST BE THE ONES PUT ON EARTH TO BRING OUR SUFFERING TO PASS."

I had a nice rack of ribs for lunch today, and I'm thinking about steak for dinner tonight. I'm not rich by anyone's measure, and I certainly ain't starving.

Do the DUmmies have these talking points on their front page now?

My family has served this country for three consecutive generations. Like McCain, my father is a Naval Academy graduate (Class of 1966).

When Mr. McCain was shot down over Vietnam in October of 1967 I was already in a living hell. My mother was nearing the end of her pregnancy and my birth. I could not tell her that the water she drank and bathed in was killing me. We did not know it at the time, but we were being poisoned by our own country! This is no lie. I was born at Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base in January of 1968. From sometime in the early 1950’s until 1987, portions of the base’s water supply became contaminated with organic solvents and fuel derivatives. These compounds lead to cancer and horrible birth defects. I was no exception. According to Senator Dole’s office, an estimated 1,000,000 service members, their families and loyal civilian employees were exposed to these compounds. I am one of 12,598 children currently under study by the Agency for Toxic Substance and Disease Registry as required by the EPA.

Like most military families, we are Republican. I even voted for McCain in the Florida Primary. Hell, he is a veteran and he would surely want to help us? I believed this until I came across a report signed in May 2007 by John McCain.

In 2000, ATSDR began the in-utero study after a delay caused by Marine Corps fears over a movie called Civil Action. From 2000-2006 there were no Congressional hearings into Camp Lejeune. We had to settle for a report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO). This report was commissioned by a Republican controlled Congress and White House. It was written to kill the Camp Lejeune issue once and for all.

In 2003, members of our group corresponded with Mr. McCain and his staff. We pointed out glaring errors and omissions in the report. In 2005, members of our group traveled to Washington and met with his staff. The GAO finished their work in 2006 and the report was released in May 2007. John McCain’s name appears second on the report. He did nothing to help us.

Thankfully, Rep. John Dingell scheduled a hearing for June 2007. This hearing was the first one on Capital hill since the issue reached a new awareness in 2000. This hearing is how I found out that I was exposed while in the womb to PCE and other VOCs at Camp Lejeune. It came 2 months after I was diagnosed with Male Breast Cancer at the age of 39. There is no history of the disease anywhere in my family.

Mr. McCain touts his veteran status and waives the flag whenever he can. Well, his record towards Veterans and their issues is appalling. His rendition of the cross in the dirt episode while in Vietnam reminds me of a cross between the 1914 WWI Christmas truce and Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s account while interred in a gulag.

I wish someone would call him out on Veterans issues and ask him why he signed off on a report that could have potentially damned 1,000,000 veterans, their families and loyal civilian employees of Camp Lejeune? Why has he turned his back on the very people he is pandering for their support?

Where is John McCain’s integrity?
