Hey everyone, John McCain has his own controversial preacher on his team!  And look, he’s not wearing a flag pin on his lapel either!  These points weren’t driven home by media types like George Stephanopolous, whom Jon Stewart accuses of taking a ride on the “Sweet Talk Express” instead of giving McCain a proper grilling.

Corporate news media

The corporate news has become an unabashed propaganda machine for the right wing.  The right can’t take a chance on anything balanced

In my opinion Mr McCain would be a bad choice because of the following,which I believe came from reliable sources:
A) He has all the signs of dementia starting
B) He has an extremely violent temper with tantrums.
C)He on occasion soils his clothing
D)He would like US Soldiers to continue more of the same in the Middle East for the next 100 years, if thats what it takes.

Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act

Next time ask McCain why he believes women should receive less pay for doing the same job, even with equal or better qualifications.

It is because he believes in the old male aristocracy, where men are born with rights that women aren’t, where women should be pretty, glorified slaves, and occasional punching bags.

Women are the canaries in the coal mine of any society. If McCain wants to do this to us, he’s prepared to do it to anyone. This alone should demonstrate his phoniness, and is the true measure of his ‘character’.

Re: Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act

If what I have seen is true, Senator McCain likes to refer to women when he is in a bad mood , which is often, using the C word. I believe this sums up his feeling about women in general. I don’t think he is a gentlemen if he uses derogatory slang on a regular basis in public when he is angry.

If anyone votes for John McCain, you are voting against America. You doing a disservice to this country. His answers didn’t even make sense. How could you consider voting for that??? Wake up, America! All you Clintonistas and Obamamaniacs who swear never to vote for the opposite candidate better get humbled really damn quick because either is better than McCain. Period.
