McCain is such a slimy opportunist

[Orangepeel]

yeah, yeah, that's news on the order of "sky is blue!" but I'm still disgusted.

Why is he so pissed at Obama?

"Obama, in last week's letter, promoted a bill backed by House and Senate Democrats that would take similar action on members becoming lobbyists, disclosure and corporate jets. It also bans gifts, meals from lobbyists or organizations that employ lobbyists and creates a new office of public integrity in the House to monitor compliance of lobbying rules."

What crap! He's just pandering to the racist element of the republican base that backed bush over him in 2000.

1. he's a Republican

This is what they all do. They call it gutsy... I call it cowardly.

[Mythsaje]

2. He's a republican politician...

Saying he's an opportunist is kinda like a memo from the American Society for Redundancy Society of America.

Well - if you say so, but I think he's just warped and perverted.

4. McCain is bought and paid for...Karl Rove has the receipt.

I really want to know what his adopted Bangladeshi daughter thinks one day when she learns that Rove smeared her dad (with full Bush approval) by calling her his "illegitimate black daughter" and Daddy JUST...FUCKING...ROLLED...OVER.

THEN hugged Bush. HUGGED the sweaty, Oedipal, A.W.O.L., war-mongering chickenhawk substance-abusing Connecticut frat boy P.O.S....

HER opinion MATTERS. McCain's DAUGHTER. Everyone else is blowing smoke up the collective ASS.

6. John McCain, Hypocrite

John McCain, Hypocrite
by Doug Ireland

John McCain, the media's darling, has found a clever way around his own campaign finance reform law to take big corporate bucks in furtherance of his political ambitions while carrying water for the corporate mammoth providing the dough. But the national press is ignoring the story.


The Associated Press first ran the story of John McCain's odorous but lucrative Senatorial service to the communications giant Cablevision on the afternoon of March 7. But, while some local papers in McCain's home state (like the East Valley Tribune) have run the story, nothing has as yet made it into the print editions of the New York Times, the L.A. Times, the Washington Post, or any of the half-dozen other big city dailies I checked (although, if one searches the hundreds of AP stories available on the Post's website on its Politics page by clicking on "Latest Wire Reports," one can find it there--but how many readers would bother to do that?) One notable exception: the Kansas City Star.


Here's what the AP's investigation found:


McCain repeatedly intervened on behalf of a policy Cablevision favored -- one which "congressional and private studies conclude could make cable more expensive" -- while his chief political adviser, Rick Davis (who's masterminding McCain's probable '08 presidential rerun) solicited $200,000 in contributions from Cablevision to an institute that promotes McCain and pays Davis a $110,000 annual salary.


The Reform Institute was set up to promote McCain and his issues--especially campaign finance reform, embodied in the famous McCain-Feingold law. This Institute is "a tax-exempt group that touts McCain's views and has showcased him at events since his unsuccessful 2000 presidential campaign," and it "often uses the senator's name in press releases and fund-raising letters and includes him at press conferences," the AP says. And, of course, it provides a cushy sinecure with no heavy lifting for McCain's main man, Davis, as he prepares the pontificating Senator's next presidential run. Cablevision's contributions account for a whopping 15% of the Institute's budget.
