Does someone have to dress John McCain each morning?

Probably so.....just check out this McCain statement on an essential qualification for US President. Did ANY of our US Presidents meet this criteria? OMG....NONE of our presidents were qualified according to John McCain.

According to John McCain:

The Presidency of the United States of America is the toughest job on the planet. And my friends, the best testing ground for that job is being the mayor of a 5,000-person town in Alaska.

Wow a new laughingstock to put on the world's stage...George Bush wasn't bad enough?

No wonder the Republicans are being forced to bus people in so they can "try" to get 10,000 people to hear McCain accept the Republican nomination.

LOL, McCain picked her as VP b/c she can shoot the caribou who wander onto the White House Lawn. How can anyone take McCain seriously?

An even bigger story,,,THIS is how McCain responds when his competitor challenges him? Talk about cut and running.....

McCain Gets It Wrong Again....Will the rest of US follow him?

Think Progress reports:

In fact, it was members of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s government who brokered the ceasefire, to which Sadr agreed. Experts agree that Sadr’s influence was strengthened — rather than diminished — by the Basra battle.

When is McCain going to get it right? Maybe in his next lifetime? According to his own logic, things are going worse not better in Iraq.

In the "mean"time...watch Bush, Cheney, "Petraeus," Crocker, and McCain beat the drums of war next week....Time to bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran!! Once again watch "our" corporate media once again become cheerleaders for another ILLEGAL Invasion. Guess what....most folks think Intelligence got it right this time...but the "Intelligence" counters the lies that Bush et al are building their new war plan on. So.....Bush is NOT allowing this Intelligence report to be part of the discussion. Yikes!!

Will the American people stand by and allow another country and hundreds of thousands of innocent civilian families to be massacred and torn apart?? Iran intervened and assisted Iraq's prime minister so that a cease fire could be negotiated. This was not "stirring up trouble" but brokering a peace that Bush folks were failing to do. So Iran's "good deed" is not going to be rewarded with some masterful diplomacy...instead Bush, Cheney, and McCain want to bomb Iran?

Will our "Democratic" Congress go along this time. According to Paul Craig Roberts:

Don't expect Congress to do anything except to egg on the attack. On April 3 the International Herald Tribune reported that senators and representatives have made millions of dollars from their investments in defense companies totaling $196 million. Rep. Ike Skelton, the Democrat chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, is already on board with the attack on Iran. The London Telegraph quotes Skelton: "Iran is the bull in the china shop. In all of this, they seem to have links to all of the Shi'ite groups, whether they be political or military.

We don't have to go here again....Check YOUR elected officials...are they war profiteers like Bush and Cheney or are they representing the 80% of their constituents who what a drastic change in this horrible, immoral, destructive, continuous march to make war on the world?

Buzz...Buzz...

John McCain doesn't remember his position on condoms

Is it age or just 7 years of not being curious (or interested) in anything but war?

According to Adam Nagourney of the NYT:

A transcript of the encounter follows. (Weaver is John Weaver, his senior adviser, and Brian is Mr. Jones, his press secretary):

Reporter: “Should U.S. taxpayer money go to places like Africa to fund contraception to prevent AIDS?”

Mr. McCain: “Well I think it’s a combination. The guy I really respect on this is Dr. Coburn. He believes – and I was just reading the thing he wrote– that you should do what you can to encourage abstinence where there is going to be sexual activity. Where that doesn’t succeed, than he thinks that we should employ contraceptives as well. But I agree with him that the first priority is on abstinence. I look to people like Dr. Coburn. I’m not very wise on it.”

(Mr. McCain turns to take a question on Iraq, but a moment later looks back to the reporter who asked him about AIDS.)

Mr. McCain: “I haven’t thought about it. Before I give you an answer, let me think about. Let me think about it a little bit because I never got a question about it before. I don’t know if I would use taxpayers’ money for it.”

Q: “What about grants for sex education in the United States? Should they include instructions about using contraceptives? Or should it be Bush’s policy, which is just abstinence?”

Mr. McCain: (Long pause) “Ahhh. I think I support the president’s policy.”

Q: “So no contraception, no counseling on contraception. Just abstinence. Do you think contraceptives help stop the spread of HIV?”

Mr. McCain: (Long pause) “You’ve stumped me.”

Q: “I mean, I think you’d probably agree it probably does help stop it?”

Mr. McCain: (Laughs) “Are we on the Straight Talk express? I’m not informed enough on it. Let me find out. You know, I’m sure I’ve taken a position on it on the past. I have to find out what my position was. Brian, would you find out what my position is on contraception – I’m sure I’m opposed to government spending on it, I’m sure I support the president’s policies on it.”

Q: “But you would agree that condoms do stop the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. Would you say: ‘No, we’re not going to distribute them,’ knowing that?”

Mr. McCain: (Twelve-second pause) “Get me Coburn’s thing, ask Weaver to get me Coburn’s paper that he just gave me in the last couple of days. I’ve never gotten into these issues before.”

This went on for a few more moments until a reporter from the Chicago Tribune broke in and asked Mr. McCain about the weight of a pig that he saw at the Iowa State Fair last year.

Noteable McCain Quote

"I disagree with what the majority of the American people want."

Hillary Clinton--The Divider

Hillary Clinton has shown very poor judgement in casting herself as the Democratic version of The Great Divider.

I'm supporting the one candidate in the field who is a Uniter--Barack Obama.
