In the Gutter with John McCain
Speaking from the gutter, the John McCain campaign says that Joe Biden “sunk to a new low” in bringing up the issue of stem cell research as a hope for children with disabilities. From CNN:

“Barack Obama’s running mate sunk to a new low today launching an offensive debate over who cares more about special needs children," McCain-Palin spokesman Ben Porritt said. "Playing politics with this issue is disturbing and indicative of a desperate campaign."


It must be dark in that gutter. Pitch black. So murky that all issues look pretty much the same as the mud that John McCain’s people have been flinging. When you have approved the use of the leaning Tower of Pisa to represent a U.S. Senator’s you know what in a political ad, that is a sure sign that your campaign headquarters is in a sewer.

For the parents of children with disabilities, stem cell research can offer hope---light---for those whose lives consist of pain, suffering, early death. Sickle cell researchers may have found a cure for the disease in mice---which could mean a cure for children. Stem cell research is helping scientists understand cystic fibrosis better, which could help them find a cure.

Hope is the last thing that John McCain’s campaign wants Americans to feel right now. Their candidate wants us to accept the inevitability of a hundred more years of war, a hundred more years of dead end jobs, a hundred more years of unaffordable health care, a hundred more years of despair that will leave our planet unfit for human habitation. They want us to accept the inevitability of four more years of the most reviled administration in United States history, one that came to power by stealing an election.

There is something nasty, vile, toxic living in the gutter, and it isn’t just an ambitious man who wants to be president. It is an attitude which says

No one can help you improve your lives.
Give it up. Stay home. Don’t vote.
Abandon hope all ye that enter here.
.

Does anyone expect anything to change under the presidency of a man whose campaign stands for Apathy, Cynicism and Despair?

1. Why is the news media not bringing out the facts of McCain's lies and deceit.
McCain says he is against lobbyist paying officials to hold
the water and McSame has as many or more ties to lobbyist then
any person.
McCain states that he is for our military , yet he has voted
against the health care , their educations , for contracting
out the health facilities like Walter Reed Hospital to private
contractors and we have seen the results of their cutting help
and other funds for larger profits.

McCain's Voting Record: He Does Not Support Our Troops and
Veterans

*****
This shows that Bush , Cheney , McSame doesn't really give a
d... about our soldiers. 
To Bush and his administration , they are only a tool to
receive what they wish,,, take other country's resources ,
revenge for daddy , to win elections or to control people
which dislike their dictatorial policies and actions.

---U.S. Army Bans Use of Privately Purchased Body Armor by
Troops.---

We know of no reason the Army may have to justify this
action," Neal said. "On the surface this looks to be
another of many attempts by the Army to cover up the billions
of dollars spent on ineffective body armor systems which they
continue to try quick fixes on to no avail."

U.S. Army Bans Use of Privately Purchased Body Armor by Troops
The move was a rare one by the Army. Spoehr said he doesn't
recall any similar bans on personal armor or devices. The
directives are most often issued when there are problems with
aircraft or other large equipment.

Veterans groups immediately denounced the decision.

Nathaniel R. Helms, editor of the Soldiers for the Truth
online magazine Defense Watch, said he has already received a
number of e-mails from soldiers complaining about the policy.

"Outrageously we've seen that (soldiers) haven't been
getting what they need in terms of equipment and body
armor," said Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., who wrote
legislation to have troops reimbursed for equipment purchases.
"That's totally unacceptable, and why this directive by
the Pentagon needs to be scrutinized in much greater
detail."

4. One question that should never be stop asking our representatives
What are you doing to stop this corruption and destruction ,
why has it not already been done.
For Pelosi angry and arrogantly make statements , to show her
a crime from Bush and his administration and she would start
impeachment procedures , just proves that she needs to be
replaced yesterday or sooner.
To keep voting the blue dogs into our democratic party ,is
like paying Lieberman to cut our democrat leaders at the
republican convention.
We need to get our s... together ,, and change the mindset of
these run-a-way democratic leaders , which are not fighting
hard enough for their voters and our constitution.
WAKE UP AMERICA , WE HAVE MEET OUR ENEMIES AND THERE ARE HERE.

6. "who cares more about special needs children" What a laugh.
Edited on Wed Sep-10-08 02:17 PM by mnhtnbb
It's no contest. We know Dems care more about ALL children, regardless of needs.
Repubs only care about zygotes and fetuses, once born they could give a shit.

F*ck-off, McCain.
