1. John McCain fucking two chicks at the same time is just too far-fetched for me to believe
and not "at the same time" but ya know. Within a week of each other.

7. But it's too early! Couldn't this wait until summer, after the conventions?

9. The downside is McCain won't be the nominee... the upside is, the Repubs are going to flounder
looking for a replacement. They are going to be in a quandary RIGHT UP TO THEIR CONVENTION.

8. Hey! That's not fair!
Unless it's Republican males with 16 y/o male pages, Republicans are supposed to have dirty business dealings, unsavory relationships with brutal third-world dictators, voter fraud, etc. etc.

The good sex scandals are OURS!

:evilgrin:

11. Maybe that's why the Repubs say he's not a true conservative? ROFL
He's a moderate, so he swings both ways baby!

13. A Little Premature For Delivery As A Scandal
Did any of you actually read this story and understand what it referred to? Don't start relishing it, just yet. It's rehashing an almost-scandal that was brewing and never fully erupted with any proof during the 2000 campaign.

Now if you can come up with any evidence that there is some sort of current relationship,(legitimate or otherwise), or new evidence coming to light that there actually was an inappropriate relationship, I'll stand corrected.

Ask yourself who potentially benefits from this story going afloat once again.

If anyone cares about DU credibility, can we at least wait until real, fresh blood is in the water before attacking?

19. I Agree
But you know, the implication is always there, that influence was sought or gained by ancient methods.

14. Foooolks....don't do this.
Seriously, it will backfire. It's not right to just accuse him of cheating on his wife.


Like I said in another thread, if there is something else here- like sex for political favors- that is a different issue. But simply attacking his personal life is not a good idea for a number of reasons.
