Yeah, that's yet ANOTHER example of mcsame's dishonesty at the mega-church. Add that to the "cone of silence" and the "cross in the sand".
Then yesterday he lies to the VFW about the new GI Bill. These LIES should be the headlines in every newspaper and TV and radio newscasts.

let us all bow down before the ultimate altar of "left v right"
effin morons.

Why is McCain's devious evil twin running for office? We used to be acquainted with the brash twin whose disarming smile was quite puckish. That one may be dead and buried in favor of the opportunistic, vicious, nasty, lying S.O.B.

DC,

Rep Lewis was too kind when Johnny Mac used his name the first time.

Too kind again. I would have been up in arms.

Thanks for posting on your vacation!

Hilarious post DC. McCain comes across as an outright fruitcake! A truly undisciplined individual seriously lacking basic clear thinking skills...

This race should be blowout. Too bad the decision is left to several million people with the same exact affliction...

Corn:

What a waste of effort focusing on this dinky little tidbit, while McCain et.al. are slamming Obama on his personality, history, and every issue. So he doesn't hanging with the brothers while he uses them. Who cares?

You have a real platform. People actually read you. They don't give a rat's ass what I have to say and they don't care about this one. Why don't you get off your vacation, load your keyboard and start taking shots that might actually hit something.

The American public demands trust from their politicians! There is a story out there on the blogs that the MSM is not reporting on regarding a story that John McCain is telling that is possibly false while he was a POW -- the cross in the sand story. This story goes to credibility. Americans are tired of being lied to. After all we were lied into a war. We demand more from our politicians -- truth, honesty, integrity? Is that too much to ask from someone who would be leading our nation? After all do we like being lied to from our spouse, lover, children? I think not. This is the same kind of relationship. If there are any investigative journalists out there, they need to get to the truth or falsity of this story. Americans have the right to know the character and morals of the people they will be electing into office. We already know that McCain was not in the so-called "cone of silence" and therefore possibly had an unfair advantage.

And, you don't need Washington experience to be experienced. You need to be smart, forward thinking, independent of big business and oil companies, knowledgeable about economics and the Constitution. This election is about taking back the American Dream and getting back to the American way -- values - sharing, cooperation, and our Government investing in people again; not Corporations. It doesn't take a rocket scientest to know how to get along with other people around the world -- just treat others like you would want them to treat you.

'The massed power of goodwill,
the dynamic effect of intelligent and active understanding, and
the potency of a trained and alive public opinion,
which desires the greatest good of the greatest number
are beyond belief.

This dynamic power has never been employed.
It can today save the world.'

Obama out-raising McCain in Utah

Posted: 9:40 AM- Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is raising more money in heavily Republican Utah than John McCain.

Through the end of July, disclosure forms show Obama raised almost $5 for every $4 his Republican rival netted from Utah donors.

Obama's campaign said he has raised $706,046 in Utah; McCain raised $595,320.

McCain is not only a Republican but also a senator from neighboring Arizona.

Obama's supporters in Utah explained the political riddle by saying their candidate is generating more enthusiasm than McCain.

AUG 20 -- Obama Doing "Major Event" In Indiana Saturday: The Nashville Post reports that Obama is doing a major event in Evan Bayh's home state the day he is expected to first appear with his running mate.

NashvillePost.com has learned that senior campaign officials from the Barack Obama Presidential campaign are being dispatched from various locations around the country and are converging in Indianapolis for a "major event" to take place on Saturday.

Saturday is the same day that Obama is expected to make his first public appearance with his yet to be announced vice presidential running mate. Indiana is the home state of Democratic Senator Evan Bayh, widely considered to be on the short list of Democratic vice presidential contenders.

To keep the pudding flowing, the administration must exaggerate the threats from nations that have no means of nuking it - and ignore the likely responses of those that do. Russia is not without its own corrupting influences. You could see the grim delight of the Russian generals and defence officials last week, who have found in this new deployment an excuse to enhance their power and demand bigger budgets. Poor old Poland, like the Czech Republic and the UK, gets strongarmed into becoming America's groundbait.

If we seek to understand American foreign policy in terms of a rational engagement with international problems, or even as an effective means of projecting power, we are looking in the wrong place. The government's interests have always been provincial. It seeks to appease lobbyists, shift public opinion at crucial stages of the political cycle, accommodate crazy Christian fantasies and pander to television companies run by eccentric billionaires. The US does not really have a foreign policy. It has a series of domestic policies which it projects beyond its borders. That they threaten the world with 57 varieties of destruction is of no concern to the current administration. The only question of interest is who gets paid and what the political kickbacks will be.

McCain’s Warped Worldview

The world according to John McCain is one in which America is triumphant at home and abroad thanks to the Bush legacy, rolling to victory internationally and mastering its domestic economic problems. If daily news, like reports of the 10 French soldiers killed by a resurgent Taliban in Afghanistan and the U.S. government’s imminent nationalization of much of the American mortgage-lending industry, would seem to deny such a rosy scenario, then that only shows skeptics lack the courage that sustained McCain as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.

There you have it encapsulated, the McCain campaign for president, an irrational mélange of patriotic swagger and blindness to reality that is proving disturbingly successful with uninformed voters. How else to explain the many millions of Americans who tell pollsters they prefer a continuation of Republican rule when so many of them are losing their homes to foreclosure and the nation is devastated by out-of-control military spending?

Richard Clarke: "Quick Draw John" McCain Wanted War Before Bush Did

[...]

Joining Rice on the Obama call was former National Security Council counter-terrorism adviser Richard Clarke, who dubbed the presumptive Republican nominee "Quick Draw John." Clarke drew on his experience on the NSC to talk about McCain's own judgment after Sept. 11, 2001, saying that McCain was pushing for war with Iraq before the Bush administration had even made its own mind up on the matter. "Sen. McCain had already decided," Clarke said. "He and his neoconservative foreign policy types that he agreed with are one of the reasons that George W. Bush decided to go to Iraq."

When asked by a reporter whether it was inconsistent for Obama surrogates to accuse McCain of misleading the public while also saying that discussion of patriotism should be out of bounds, Clarke had a retort ready. "I'm sure he [McCain] loves his country. It's just that loving your country and lying to the American people are apparently not inconsistent in his view."

Politico:

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said in an interview Wednesday that he was uncertain how many houses he and his wife, Cindy, own.

"I think - I'll have my staff get to you," McCain told us in Las Cruces, N.M. "It's condominiums where - I'll have them get to you."

The correct answer is at least four, located in Arizona, California and Virginia, according to his staff. Newsweek estimated this summer that the couple owns at least seven properties.

Unfoturnately, we have to get the truth from other countries rather than our Republican-owned main stream media -- which is a derelict of duty to the American public.

The American M$M can't report a fake bigfoot, can't report accurately if a politician has passed away or not.

How can we trust them to report anything?

McCain does not have an unequivocal, philosophical opposition to using the draft in the war on terror. Do you know an undecided voter who is the parent of a child between 12 and 22? Make sure they've memorized this quote before election day, so they know exactly what they're getting if they vote for McCain:

"I might consider it, I don't think it's necessary, but I might consider it if you could design a draft where everybody equally could serve."

You Wanted Obama to Hit Back Hard?

Obama's campaign just sent out a list of sixteen "McCain losing track of how many homes he owns" events, which it calls just "a few" of the hits planned on this topic for today. They include:

BURLINGTON, VT: Vermont State Representative Rachel Weston will be speaking outside her home about McCain losing track of how many homes he owns

LA CROSSE, WI: State Rep. Jen Shilling and La Crosse Obama supporters host a news conference on McCain losing track of how many homes he owns

KANSAS CITY, MO: Obama Heartland Change RV Tour with State Senator Wes Shoemyer will visit a Missouri family in Kansas City to discuss McCain losing track of how many homes he owns

OH: Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen will talk about McCain losing track of how many homes he owns at events throughout southeast Ohio

ALTOONA, PA: State Senator John Wozniak will headline an event in Altoona, PA on McCain losing track of how many homes he owns and the campaign is also announcing a statewide search for anyone who doesn’t know how many houses they own

MI: Campaign for Change offices across Michigan are launching a “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire: McCain Edition” contest where volunteers will be able to win a free “Exxon-McCain” bumper-sticker if they correctly guess the number of houses John McCain owns. Prizes will be only be awarded after McCain clarifies exactly how many houses he owns. To win, the answer must be specific -- “at least four” doesn’t count.

BILLINGS, MT: A local family will hold an availability in front of a house slated for foreclosure

If McCain had just been wrong about the number of houses he owned, it wouldn't be nearly so bad. But forgetting how many houses he had also plays into the confused-McCain meme -- it's a late-night joke that writes itself.

McCain responded by saying immigrants were taking jobs nobody else wanted. He offered anybody in the crowd $50 an hour to pick lettuce in Arizona.

Shouts of protest rose from the crowd, with some accepting McCain’s job offer.

“I’ll take it!” one man shouted.

McCain insisted none of them would do such menial labor for a complete season. “You can’t do it, my friends.”

Some in the crowd said they didn’t appreciate McCain questioning their work ethic.

Feds Say They've Solved 9/11 Mystery

The 77-page report concluded that the fatal blow to the building came when the 13th floor collapsed, weakening a critical steel support column that led to catastrophic failure.
"When this critical column buckled due to lack of floor supports, it was the first domino in the chain," said Sunder.

Well damn, I didn't even show that they were talking about building 7. I GUESS the NIST report they've been working on is FINALLY out. Here's another quote from the article...

"The reason for the collapse of World Trade Center 7 is no longer a mystery," said Dr. Shyam Sunder, the lead investigator on the NIST team.

About six years ago:

McCain left one of his McMansions in one of his McLimos and was driven to the Social Security office where he applied for Social Security benefits.

He needed the extra $1,900 a month for security.

I wonder if this might start a line of questions for Johnny boy:

“How many cars do you own?”

“How many investment properties do you own?”

“Is this why Cindy doesn’t release her complete tax returns?”
