McCain Adviser Won’t Attack ObamaPosted on Feb 13, 2008
One of John McCain’s top advisers, Mark McKinnon, says he will resign from the campaign if Barack Obama wins the Democratic nomination, because “I would simply be uncomfortable being in a campaign that would be inevitably attacking Barack Obama.” McKinnon says he would still support McCain from a distance, but “I met Barack Obama, I read his book, I like him a great deal.” You can listen to the interview on NPR.

No, many of them are porch masons. Rangel, Sharpton, Jackson and Young I suspect of being mobbed up. I’ll get to that later if you are curious.

Has anyone ever wondered what Bush I and Bush II confided to their fellow elites about their closet demons prior to their initiation to the Skull & Bones Society while attending Yale University? No one who knows dares to utter it. On the flip side, it appears that Mark McKinnon has more moral capital than the party hunchos who ‘CRUCIFIED’ Senator McCain’s character by sliming him with despotic fabrications in the 2000 GOP presidential primary. Perhaps the 2008 election will avoid such swine politics, yet, i certainly doubt that ‘da swine’ will stay corraled inside the sty before it’s all over.

Doug:
“...but then, who is Obama really loyal to anyway???”
Excellent question! And one that does not get asked nearly often enough. And anyone who says “only himself” or “the people” must be smokin’ that wacky tobacky!
Peace.

As an ex-cocaine dealer during the late seventies and early eighties, Mark McKinnon fears his past will come back to haunt him. I know, we lived in the same home.

Are you suggesting that all these people are or were involved in something nefarious or sinister?
Peace.

Obviously, one of them isn’t loyalty….... but then, who is Obama really loyal to anyway???

If Mr. McKinnon does not want to attack Obama later, I suggest he help McCain knock him down NOW so he ISN’T the nominee. The media has left Obama’s promises mostly unchecked, there is ALOT they can attack on and do real damage before the Texas and Ohio primaries.

Barack Obama inspires the best in people? This isn’t news, it is axiomatic fact!
