Bush: McCain will best carry out my agenda.
On Fox News today, Time’s Mark Halperin said, “The President behind the scenes has told people for months that he thought McCain would be the nominee. Even during some of those dark periods he still thought he could win. And also that McCain would be the best to carry forth his agenda.” |

| Bush continues to destroy the GOP; Democrats have said that electing McCain would be a third Bush term, and the President confirms it. |

It would help if the Dems had a candidate that was electable. Neither Hillary or Barack will be President. |

I think you're wrong this time. Hillary is very electable. In fact, she is absolutely Washington status quo. Very little difference with what we've been force fed over the last several years.
Obama is the candidate that we hope for every election. Everything about him says "winner."
If the American voter can just open their eyes and pay attention, there is no other logical choice this time than the Senator from Illinois. |

LOL, they put this out? Dear God, I pray they hate McCain so much they just sit this election out. McCain is a tool and everyone knows it. It's the one thing right and left agrees on (even though it's for different reasons). And the fact that the right would have to "hold their noses" --as McCain's 300 year old mother says-- to vote for him, should (for once) be a tad revolutionary and vote Obama. Hate Clinton, who cares. They have no real reason to hate Obama except for the pathetic, mentally-unstable, child-like excuses that they're coming up with, like his fucking name or color. |

MCCAIN AND THE KEATING FIVE
WIKIPEDIA
McCain's upwards political trajectory was jolted when he became enmeshed in the Keating Five scandal of the 1980s. In the context of the Savings and Loan crisis of that decade, Charles Keating Jr.'s Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, a subsidiary of his American Continental Corporation, was insolvent due to some bad loans. In order to regain solvency, Lincoln sold investment in a real estate venture as a FDIC insured savings account. This caught the eye of federal regulators who were looking to shut it down.
It is alleged that Keating contacted five senators to whom he made contributions. McCain was one of those senators and he met at least twice in 1987 with Ed Gray, chairman of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, seeking to prevent the government's seizure of Lincoln. Between 1982 and 1987, McCain received approximately $112,000 in political contributions from Keating and his associates. In addition, McCain's wife and her father had invested $359,100 in a Keating shopping center in April 1986, a year before McCain met with the regulators. McCain, his family and baby-sitter made at least nine trips at Keating's expense, sometimes aboard the American Continental jet. After learning Keating was in trouble over Lincoln, McCain paid for the air trips totaling $13,433.
Eventually the real estate venture failed, leaving many broke. Federal regulators ultimately filed a $1.1 billion civil racketeering and fraud suit against Keating, accusing him of siphoning Lincoln's deposits to his family and into political campaigns. The five senators came under investigation for attempting to influence the regulators. In the end, none of the senators were convicted of any crime, although McCain was rebuked by the Senate Ethics Committee for exercising "poor judgment" for intervening with the federal regulators on behalf of Keating.
On his Keating Five experience, McCain said: "The appearance of it was wrong. It's a wrong appearance when a group of senators appear in a meeting with a group of regulators, because it conveys the impression of undue and improper influence. And it was the wrong thing to do." |

Both are unelectable.
Obama has bad policies all the way around. His Iraq policy, Iran policy. There is no way he will be elected. I doubt he will beat Hillary. He has no experience whatsoever.
Hillary is a leftist. Both are. |

A leftist?
If you insist.
Bush is a facsist (sp?) and, by his endorsement, apparently so is McCain. I'll settle for a "leftist," thank you. |

Exactly, the Dems continue to sabotage themselves. This election is the Democrats to lose. They practically have it in the bag and this is what they offer us, two unelectables. |

Unelectable, yeah...all those voters that came out in triple the numbers as the Republicans in every primary are just faking it. And they certainly won't vote for him once they find out he didn't support the biggest foreign policy disaster in the last 50 years. |

Well then please provide some detail. Why is it a disaster? You make such a definitive statement you should back it up with a solid explanation. |

Stonewall discredited himself intellectually by calling Hillary and Obama leftists.
Uh, no....they aren't leftists.
This is a leftist:
Hillary and Obama are in no intellectually honest way remotely "leftists". They're "left" if you consider the just slightly left of center Democratic Party as "left".
Those of us who actually are leftists(Social Democrats, for example) LAUGH when you right wing nuts call Democrats "leftist". :rolleyes: |
|

| Darb |
Oh, and back on point......Bush really ought to shut his trap if he wants McCain to be elected. Did he forget how shitty his public image is?
Smear that shit around George, those of us who are sick of Neo-Cons thank you. |
