Re: McCain Accused of Having An Affair with Lobbyi

Maybe the whole thing is a multi-layered misinformation campaign to make a very old pale guy not look quite so morgue-esk when compared with a young man of color.

If you can be a seriously-seasoned-citizen, on a presidential campaign circuit and still have something in the tank for sneaking around on your already junior wife....the old geezer moniker will have a hard time sticking.

but....
if it turns out he actually is a serial adulterer....my last thin, thread of republican voting inclination will be snapped. If the rumor mill becomes a truth, and with so much on the line for him at this point in his life journey, it would speak not only of a core character flaw, but also his inability to assess the weightiness of the TIMES.

Quote:
Does John McCain have a "character deficit"?
Sure. He doesn't have the Holy Ghost. And he's a politician. Talk about easy questions . . .

Quote:
The New York Times endorsed John McCain. Is this story's timing political? (C'mon, of course it is.)

Both?
The fact that the NYT sat on this story for 8 years is the telling clue. There is too much focus on the upcoming battle in the Democrat primary, and so this is an effort to step up the drama in the Republican primary. Make no mistake, all the liberal media support for John McCain will disappear like a snowflake in the Sahara in the national campaign. There are two reasons for the media treating him favorably leading up to this election:
1) They have calculated that he cannot win the national election (they may even have some part to play in this)
2) They have calculated that, if elected, he will not be a threat to the advancement of the leftist/liberal agenda.

Quote:
Is McCain sold out to Washington lobbyists though he claims not to be?
Who knows? Maybe this last hope for his genuine Maverick-ness is what the NYT is holding evidence in reserve for to dash.

What are some of your thoughts?
It's a tough nut no matter how you crack it.

If you'd like to see a campaign drumming up its own sensationalism take a look at all the women swooning at Obama rallies.

It's tough to know whether our post-adultery nation will maintain a double standard or acquiesce to hedonism on all sides.

If this is sincere, then you have played right into their hands. They are hoping to get a large block of disillusioned conservatives to sit out like what happened in 2006. Don't give up hope. Any of these three disastrous candidates can be mitigated by electing conservative representatives. The press knows that, and that is why there has been ZERO coverage of the state and local races. They want conservatives ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED and ready to opt out.

NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!

Well, you have to understand context.

the care about "personal" matters of Republicans because they want to make sure Republicans dont get elected.

Re: McCain Accused of Having An Affair with Lobbyi

How can liberals say anything at all, when their golden boy, Bill Clinton, actually had numerous affairs? And McCain had a lobbyist who hung around too much? LOL!!!!

Unless they get the woman to accuse McCain of sexual harassment or something similar, or they find actual EVIDENCE to support their claim, it means nada.

I find it hilarious that the media crowd has such a double face--they report manically about Hollywood and all its indiscretions with glee and happy interest, but yet they respond to the sexual deviations or indiscretions of "regular" folks (especially preachers and republicans) with the most prudish puritanism.

The thing about our liberal friends is, they can do it with a straight face!

You watch, there will be liberals all over television in all their horrified glory, talking about how bad it is for the country that McCain did this.

and how wonderful Barak is....

and fools will eat it up.
