McCain on the Defensive

John looks like hell! I feel sorry for him for what he has been through under orders. His posture and his arm movement indicate he has real problems.He deserves better from us but he should stop and enjoy life for a change. He has!!!!!!!!!!!!!! done his job fairley well.

Thank you NYT. For the first time ever, I was going to skip this year's election. You see, I don't like McCain. Your "story" remined me that the real enemy in this country, are the dem's, and I will be voting for McCain.

Second that, my family and I were not going to vote this fall. Family meeting this morning, results, McCain has four additional votes as of today.

Firefighter:
You are given to much credit to that idiot Obama.
He is not the antichrist, he is not that smart.

Politcal Radar's got Romney implicated in the pimping (sorry HRC and fans) of the McCain non-story.

What do you gotta say now?

The media is really disgusting now, everyday its a new issue with the candidates except Obama of course. The media is going to do the American people a great injustice by being so involved in this crap, I really wonder what these media houses feel they have to gain by pushing Obama on all of us. I have never seen anything like this in all my years this is really the most disgusting election of all time.

This story came from the anti-McCain Republicans who want Romney back in the race. Romney only SUSPENDED his campaign and could easily get back in if the Republicans can take McCain down. REMEMBER, poppy Bush opened his Presidential Library to Romney to give his "Mormon religion" explanation to the Mormon skeptics out there in the evangelical world. Romney had Jeb Bush staffers working for his campaign AND....G. W. Bush has yet to endorse McCain. They are trying to take him down so Mitt can get back in the race. STAY TUNED!

Funny. The NYT backed McCain over Giuliani and the Republicans here are blaming this on them? How much did you like the NYT when Judith Miller was writing her WMD stories every day cheer leading Bush's illegal war??....which ended up being completely BOGUS.

This story came from the REPUBLICANS, not the Democrats and the NYT didn't pull it out of thin air. 2 ex McCain staffers (REPUBLICANS) are behind this story....no doubt egged on by the Republican Romney supporters.

Oh my, so here we go. Clinton’s unfit because of her husband’s past indiscretions. McCain will be deemed unfit because he MAY have had a romantic relationship with this woman, a lobbyist (dreaded word) at that!

Faithfulness to ones wife/husband – very important. No argument here. But, what’s with our society’s OCD with other people’s private lives? Knowing what we know about JFK now, would it have changed your vote for him back then? Would you have said, I like his speeches. I like his look. I like his wife. I like his kids. I like his military service. I like his record. BUT, I wish you hadn’t told me about the affairs he will later have. Because I now can’t vote for him?

And then this mornings interrogation. That’s right interrogation. Beat him down, get him to say “I had sex with that woman.” I bet as McCain was listening to all of this he was taken back to Hanoi when his interrogators asked, “Are you ready to admit your war crimes? You will say you are grateful to the Vietnamese people, and that you are sorry for your crimes, or we will send you back to the camp.” McCain had a decision to make, should he take their deal of an early release and confess? His decision was to stand by his men, his fellow comrades there, POWs just like him. He endured more torture, and solitary confinement, and was held captive for five and a half years.

You know, I don’t give a rat’s ass if he did or didn’t have an improper relation with that woman. He said he didn’t and I’m good with that, BUT, even if he did – so what! American’s like to say, I’m against the war, but I’m for the troops. Ok – prove it. Think they’re not watching? Ha! Do you think about how some of them have most likely received Dear John letters while over there? Do you think about how some of them probably return to home only to find their spouse has decided to leave them? War is hard on everyone. But war will be here with all of us – isn’t that what the Bible says and isn’t that what history has proven?

John McCain’s 19 year old son just returned from a tour in Iraq with the Marines.

Some have said that good people will tire of what they must go through to be president and this seems to have some merit. Look at the current election. The one candidate who is doing the best is the youngest, with the least record to look at. It would appear that all future hopeful candidates need to enter with a relatively blank slate and an idealistic message of hope and change that of course, we all want to believe.

But what of our armed services, those young people we call on to go and do the dirty work. To go through boot camp. To go to the frontline and face death and even possible dishonor, either there, or when they return? What can you promise them that will make it all worthwhile?

Keep the faith Mr. McCain and Seimper Fi – we respect you in this Marine family and we appreciate all you have done for us.

Interesting theory, rothengefd, but to be honest, though no fan of McCain's whatsoever, I doubt he'd sink to such devious behavior.

The GOP itself, the party which first smeared and knee-capped McCain himself in South Carolina in 2000? In a heartbeat.

But McCain? I sincerely doubt it.

If a man is able to leave his wife(Carol McCain) after she got crippled in a car accident for a younger woman(Cindy McCain) his current wife, what does that tell you? If he's a true conservative, he should know married couples stay together in good & bad times. He's not a true conservative so he wouldn't understand those values. That same woman, Cindy McCain used her position in 2004 to steal painkillers from a medical charity she ran because she was addicted to painkillers. I ask myself, if she had been prosecuted and put in jail would she be "proud of her country". On stage with Sen. McCain she looks stoned all the time. I wish Mitt Romney hadn't dropped out of the race. This is a sad day for the Republican Party.

The media cult members in love with Obama can not even wait for the general election to start.

Interesting story in so many ways, and for so many reasons.

I've no idea if any of this is true, or if any of it will "stick" or "grow legs."

But if it is/does, while bashing the New York Times and The Washington Post is always a reliable and well-tested means for any Repub to rally conservatives, I suspect this could also drive McCain's independent-voter supporters away in droves.

It will be fascinating to watch this play out.

The NYT's is a is like the Enquiror, I guess their love fest for McCain is over.

I hope this opens the minds of people that the press is so far left that it makes Stalin look like a moderate.

Their will be more hatchett jobs against McCain, they pulled this one out to try and stop the coming together of the Republican party, because we know the Democrats are totally fractured at this time.

When will the media start informing us of Obama? instead of not only protecting him but going out of the way and lying about true stories that come out about him.

Maybe the NYT do not have hope for our Country.

I heard a song last night from the 30 - If you don not like the USA then go back to the your land do not try to change ours.- not exactly the right title but a phrasde from the song.

Isn’t one of the predictions of Nostradaumas that during the end times there will be a young and charismatic leader that many believe is the Messiah? That this person is actually the anti-Christ and will lead to the destruction of mankind? Hmmm……….I wonder who that person could be?

Thank you NYT. For the first time ever, I was going to skip this year's election. You see, I don't like McCain. Your "story" remined me that the real enemy in this country, are the dem's, and I will be voting for McCain.

Oh please! "I hope this gives hope for Huck." Once again, Oh Please! This is the miracle Huckabee's been waiting for? (Didn't major in math, but miracles) Spare us all.

Oh how I miss the good old 90's. America got to listen to these kinds of accusations plus some involving the Oval Office all the time.

Turns out the ones in the 90's were all true. I doubt this one is.

I'm sorry- where is the story NYT?

>Two ex-employees allege a romantic involvement.
>He wrote a letter asking the FCC for a quicker decision.
>He might have taken a plane ride he shouldn't have.

THERE IS NO THERE THERE.

If there's a story, I haven't heard it.

I hope this gives hope for Huck!!!

This is just one more instance in which the news media are making up lies about a candidate. Unless the writer has actually seen some activity going regarding Senator McCain, I for one believe this is another smear campaign against a good man. Maybe there should be an investigation of the so called news reporters lives and see what is "uncovered." This "trash writing" is not worth the paper it is written. I hope Senator McCain lets this fly off him. I think he is a good man and for someone to try and ruin his repuation is dispicable. In my opion, the writer of this article obviously has no ability to report an honest event. He/she has no ability to discern right from wrong. There is a quote that says, "show me the money." Until irrefutable evidence is established regarding Senator McCain, I for one do not believe a negative word that is said.

I find it interesting that, according to reports, the NY Times was actually sitting on this story WHEN they came out and endorsed Sen. McCain for the Republican Party's nomination. Was this a premeditated hatchet job by the NY Times? Could it be that they were going to try to sit on this story until just before the general election?

Another interesting aspect in all of this is the fact that with just inuendo and rumors and BOTH Sen. McCain and Ms. Iseman denying any impropriety, the mainstream media jumped all over this. While on the other hand, there is a specific allegation about Sen. Obama being made by an individual and the mainstream media won't touch that story with a ten-foot pole.
