How old is this guy? What was that, 100.......and he wants to become the president so he can have his finger on the BIG RED button?...... Where is this guy gonna be when the 3:00am batphone rings?

Reporter asks McCain about something he said during his lime-green speech. McCain says he never said it. Video tape proves McCain wrong.

1. McCain is 100% disabled. Gets over $100thousand/yr disability pymnt from military

2. And it shows. Also gets senate pay so he's used to sucking the government teat

[bjobotts]

3. He's done this on many an occasion. Is it lie or senility

6. John McCain gets 100% tax-free disability pension which begs to ask this question:

Sen. John McCain has long said he is in robust health and is strong enough to hike the Grand Canyon, but he also is receiving what his staff termed a "disability pension" from the Navy.

When McCain released his tax return for 2007 on Friday, he separately disclosed that he received a pension of $58,358 that was not listed as income on his return. McCain campaign strategist Mark Salter said that McCain was technically disabled. "Tortured for his country -- that is how he acquired his disability," Salter said.

Certain types of military and veterans pensions are either partially or completely tax-exempt, depending on the seriousness of the disability. In McCain's case, the exemption is 100%.

Here's how 100 percent disability is defined, according to the Military Times:

At the other end of the spectrum, the military may not exceed the rating ceiling for a specific diagnostic code under the VASRD. However, the VA can award a 100 percent disability rating for the same condition if it finds that the severity of the condition rises to the level that the veteran is incapable of being trained for any type of gainful civilian-sector employment.

Here's my question:

Legally speaking, would it be a fair statement or a stretch of the law to say that John McCain CAN'T run for president on the legal grounds that he is not (by his own VA classification of 100% disable ) capable of being trained for any type of gainful civilian-sector employment?

By paying this 100% tax-free disability pension to John McCain, is the Navy saying that political positions such as ' Senator and/or President ' ARE NOT gainful civilian-sector employment? If these political positions in fact qualify as " gainful civilian-sector employment ", then why would McCain continue to be receiving a 100% tax-free disability pension if he is ABLE & CAPABLE for civilian-sector employment?


Just curious if anyone has any idea how this could be.

5. new rules

tell the truth. don't tell the truth because it's the right thing to do and you're a standup guy. tell the truth because if you don't you will now get caught. what bullshit.
i will never forget gw at the press conference the day after the 2006 election when he was asked why he was letting rumsfeld go a day after declaring that he would NOT let rumsfeld go. obviously the president had lied, like just the day before. he shrugged and said, it was an election. not one reporter called him on that. not one.
i think reporters should be rotated in and out of DC so they can get a minute out of the bubble where lying is okay. i am sick of the LIES.

7. Reporters/Journalists need to stand up and take responsibility for allowing a steady

diet of lies, distortions and misinformation by ALL politicians to slip by under the radar. It doesn't surprise the least bit why viewership for print/tv news media is down with more and more people seeking out alternative news sources & op-eds on the Internet.
