Political Punch

I don't care if this news is eight years old, the fact that a U.S. Senator didn't vote for his party's candidate for President is news, if it is indeed true.

If he voted for Jed Bartlet, I might even support him!

I don't think it's big issue whether McCain voted for Bush or not in 2000. But I think this episode does prove that McCain is a liar. He was either lying to his Hollywood friends back then, or he is lying to the public right now.

Arianna is backing an idiot named Obama who thinks the US has 57 states.

Hillary for Mccain said it all for a lot of us.....Buckle up it's going to be a bumpy ride.........I always thought I was a liberal till I took a look at Arianna and Ayers and Wright......Turns out I am a Clinton Democrat after all.

And McCain is closer to the America that I live in than the far left of my own party.

Hillary or Bust...and bust would be Mccain! Some of us are just trying to decide if we can really pull the lever for a Republican or if we just stay home. The deal is I live in Texas and a lot of my good old boy friends voted for Obama to hurt Hillary....so I'm pretty sure without the Hispanic vote that Hillary got we will be Republican in Nov anyway.

I'm a life long Democrat who does not recognize this party any longer. It has been taken over by the MoveOn, Daily Kos and the Huffington Post crowds. they are so blinded by their far far left views they can't see what bashing half of the Democratic parties support (Hillocrats) will never get them into a whitehouse. This country is more centrist than they would like it to be. Hillary Clinton knew that too and has the best chance to beat McCain, who is also Centrist. But what they have done and how they've treated other Democrats is just despicable. I will not support Barack Obama. The "race baiting" done by him and his campaign has sickened me. You can't even say a color anymore without being accused of being a racist, by them and by the left leaning media. Barack Obama ACTUALLY attended a racist church and Hillary and Bill are the racist?? The media and the Democratic leadership has failed this country and I will not prop up a flawed candidate like Barack Obama just because he is a Democrat. I'll hedge my bets on McCain and his "Maverick" past. I invite all other Hillary supporters who have been sickened by this man and his campaign to join me. Ariana Huffington is a windbag that doesn't know the pulse of the country, only Beverly Hills.

@Ken:

He is definitely a hero.

Y'all trash talk him all you want.

The main event is just starting. For the last two elections, you've been without a clue as to what America respects, needs or will elect. And nothing has changed.

McCain is getting confused. Maybe he voted aginst him before voting for him?

Genna, he's a ultra-politico who does everything for politics. Do you really think he changed religions at age 71 for anything other than politics? Think about it. Have you ever known anyone who changed religions at such an advanced age? Oh my gosh, did I just draw attention to his age? What an underhanded thing to do. BTW, check his academic record from his youth... he lost his bearings way back then as well.

ChiliGTC - What does Obama have to do with this story? He was never even mentioned. I admit it's a pointless story and ABC should find some real news to report on, but why are you trying to sling mud at Obama over it?

NYC Stylz, you are totally full of it. Ask McCain's cellmate, Bud Day, the most decorated soldier in modern history, whether McCain is a phoney. When he first saw McCain at the Hanoi Hilton, he thought the man would die in a matter of days, he was so emaciated. Yeah, McCain was pampered all right. You lying fool. Now crawl back to your masters at Moveon.org and get your treat.

Is it just me, or is Mark Salter's first instinct to attack someone's character? Every time I've seen his name, its in relation to a negative attack against someone.

Agreed this story is old, but not as old as McCain. Most of the big corporations that the Republican party plays to make their employees retire before they get to his age - most at 65.

How many CEOs in the fortune 1000 (that are not founders) are still actively employed and over the age of 70. Do that math on that one!!!

Regardless, the real story is who he picks as his VP. Get ready. Trust me this is where the story begins.

So who is John McCain? A double-talk express that voted against George Bush in 2000 and 2004, or a straight talking conservative who has stood shoulder to shoulder with President George Bush since 2000?

John McCain is Bush Light... He has totally flip flopped on lots of things since 2000... American cannot handle another moron like him in office...

So who is John McCain? A double-talk express that voted against George Bush in 2000 and 2004, or a straight talking conservative who has stood shoulder to shoulder with President George Bush since 2000?

What a weird story. John McCain was at a dinner party in Beverly Hills with Arianna Huffington, Bradley Whitford, and Richard Schiff?? That's odd as it is. It'd be like finding out that Pres. Bush hangs out with, oh I don't know, Hugo Chavez, in France, on the weekends.

And then its "He said this, I heard him" and "No, I didn't, you're just an attention-seeking diva."

Way too much drama, and way too much weirdness. I don't know...it's just weird, isn't it? Weird, weird, weird.

Ken - you sound like a Bush/Obama suppoerter. McCain is no hero! Juevos man, Juevos!

John McCain is no hero. He was a pilot unfortunate enough to get shot down over Viet Nam while dropping bombs. Once he was captured he sang like bird and was moved from the Hanoi Hilton to better quarters because his dad was an admiral. Kennedy, Kerry, they were real heros, McCain is a pretender and wannabe. He is a liar and a crook. Check his record. If you want war, no security, no peace, no privacy, vote McCain. Remember you get the government you deserve. Those that voted for Bush know this now. What a mess this country is in. People seem to forget how the Republican screwed things every time they get in office. Name one good thing the Republicans have done in the last 40 years. Just one good thing that didn't benefit corporations or their own pockets.

Frankly, I cannot find anyone to admit that they voted for George W Bush.

So we have Josh from the fake White House on NBC and the fake journalist Huffington putting this nonsense out there. Will the Obama People do anything to get him elected? Hummmm??? Sound like what they accuse the Clinton people of doing. Hypocracy perhaps? I keep saying it. Obama's supporters are going to destroy his chances and the media is right there with them. Amazing!
