This man should not be in the Senate.
He certainly should not be elected president.
You will not get this information in the MSM or on industry owned TV.
Everybody,{but the wealthy} has been short changed throughout this administration, the most venal, mendacious in our history.

Most of the article was good, allowing McCain's record to speak for itself, except the part towards the end...

His jokes and drinking stories may be crude, immature, and piggish, but are not really necessary to mention. They take away from the seriousness of the article, and continue the Fox approach of gossiping, nit-picking people's comments, and meddling in their personal lives.

Obama's a bad boy, not because he's been cowering to the right ("I don't do cowering..."), but because he apparently called one of his assistants "honey"...or whatever...

How many of us goody-goody progressives did some partying during our youth, made crude remarks about people of the opposite sex when out with the boys/girls, or called someone a cunt/dick in the heat of road rage?...That's what I thought...

It is important that this article get wide circulation. I've been hoping some journalist would compile his record: thanks Kate Sheppard. Just yesterday a friend told me about meeting with an otherwise sane, progressive acquaintance who said that to punish the Democratic Party for not picking Clinton she would be voting for McCain. That would be a strange reaction to perceived sexism, indeed.

My impression of John McCain overall is that he has no real and genuine position or opinion on any issue whatsoever, other than the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He looks for cues as to what to say from the people around him, or from George Bush, and he will say whatever the cues tell him. This explains the flip-flopping and also when he was asked the question about whether he supports education on contraception (he replied, "you've stumped me" because he didn't know what answer his audience expected from him). Really, McCain is a clueless puppet, similar to Dubya but not as evil. I think being president would utterly confuse John McCain, and we need another confused idiot president like we need a hole in the head.

now obvious to me. Once a week, we are treated to some insane, but more often irrelevant fluff, article that supposedly deals with women's issues or feminism. His WAR on women? You've got to be fucking kidding me. McSexist. BWAHAHAHA

This article could be titled: "My Cheap Sensationalist Titles and Innuendo: How you can further waste your time and thought process on political figures and the significance you give them"

"In The Nation, Katha Pollitt put it simply: "[T]o vote for McCain, a feminist would have to be insane."

Rather than immediately following this up with WHY that would be the case, we get some jibberish about PUMA and a reference to some blogger. PUMA sounds like some real people with real focus, don't they? And a blogger?Wow, man, like, a blogger. Gasp.

So. Logically, it makes good sense to only focus on this guys history of back pedaling and his changing public statements in regards to womens issues and abortion. What else could possibly be relevant about a presidential candidate?

Because a politician, a presidential candidate, wouldn't ever be so full of shit as to say what he thinks makes sense at the time, no, nothing like that at all. He wouldn't count on an ignorant, misinformed voting populace, buying and eating the never ending flood of pure bullshit coming from all forms of media in reference to candidates, never.

And the last bit of the article, everything under "The personal is political". Who gives a fuck, really? The guy is clearly just another politician piece of shit, what he says about this and that in his personal life doesn't really illuminate this any further.

This article points out some important facts about this character. I dont like the fucker at all. The problem I have is with all the fluff and cheap attention getting headline, and the weak attempts to put it all in perspective. If what you have to say has some merit and is true, then it doesn't need bs like that to prop it up.

I don't understand why people find it neccesary to keep on listening, reading and talking about these guys. Why do you give them your attention and focus, what does it produce? Are you still under the delusion that the vote you cast has some power to it? How about..... regardless of who gets in, no real change is going to come about? The ruling class is not going to suddenly give a fuck if you live or die, suffer or prosper, and is not going to stop doing everything it can to make sure you have less and they have more.

To be surprised by McCain's apparent contradiction between his positions and his behavior is to totally ignore the history of this man. Of course his anti-choice voting record and beliefs would not be a factor if his daughter had needed an abortion. Just as the wealthy and connected did prior to Roe vs. Wade, it would be facilitated. Different rules for different folks. Please keep in mind that, very much like Bush, this is a man born into a very privileged family situation. He was a low achieving high school student who none-the-less received a West Point appointment over thousands of much higher qualified applicants. Can anyone deny that this was because of his father? He was an extremely poor achieving student at West Point, and was awarded with the highly sought after fighter pilot position, again jumping ahead of hundreds of seemingly much higher qualified candidates. His daddy was an admiral, remember. Yet, he has been very consistent in his opposition to affirmative action stating that he thinks we should all have a level playing field!
A promiscuous man who votes consistently for abstinence only programs and who stands adamantly in opposition to programs offering women contraception, etc.? What contradiction? We are NOT talking McCain women, are we? That would be a different story.
Those who are born into great privilege seem to take one of two life tracks. There are those who feel a tremendous pressure to demonstrate to the world that they can earn their status by working long and hard to carry their own weight. There are those who's attitude is that of course they are privileged as they are better than the rest of the common class, and or not bound by the same rules and laws as the rest of us. They do not see a contradiction between positions that they support and their personal behavior. George W Bush is the prototype of this attitude, and the parallels in McCain's life and attitude are downright eerie. If you liked Bush, you are going to love McCain.

How about this one? One of my neighbors had this going on. The man gets laid off and while his wife works, he is diagnosed with a serious health problem related to the stress he accumulated on the job he just got laid off on. So for a few months he chooses to be the housewife while his wife continues her career. Five months later as his health improves he gets another job. However, people joke and tease about his past 5 months of he and his wife having reversal roles. Isn't it sad that there are some dresses and roles that are supposed to belong to the women but if men try them out, they face hell from humiliation on being the housewife for a change to criminal charges of dressing like a woman in some cases. Let's face it. Men and women each have their freedoms and lack ofs depending on the issue. Don't let the elites divide you. The "conservatives" have no intention of giving men any more freedom than the "liberals" supposedly giving women some. Both parties are selling you out !

This pampered, bad-tempered, turn-coat prisoner is now just a near-senile old buffoon and would be just about the ultimate international shame of American politics if the Repugnicans somehow steal another presidency! Just shows what a low species of humanity the conservative, wealthy, greedy, power-hunger 'elite' in America really are! My country has gone crazy and I'm glad I left it shortly after the 2000 election fiasco.

His atrocious behavior to women is aptly represented in his voting record.

Arianna Huffington did an article about it as well.

Lump in his assault on womens' reproductive rights with all of the scandals that the corporate-controlled "mainstream" media unfortunately does not report (yet), and it adds up to one sorry excuse for a man, let alone a president.

True, everyone has had their road rage moments, but going nuclear when your wife gently teases you is very troubling. A relationship built on mutual respect does not include such crude and demeaning remarks, and there's no way to trivialize it. I for one do not want a President with a hair trigger temper. And that's one of the long list of reasons i won't be voting for Mr. McCain.

Roe vs wade, has taken more innocent lives than every American war put together!!! Yet Feminists, claim it to be their God given right!!! Roe vs wade, has taken away MENS right of consent!!! The "FATHER" doesnt have a choice, if his unborn child is discarded or not, or born or not, or adopted, or not!!! Do you "NOT-SEE"??? Planned parenthood, is actually planned genocide, they do not fight to keep families together, but only to tear them apart!!! Pro-choice, is not fighting for freedom of choice in all things, like abolishing "zero" tolerance, for drugs, where is my pro-choice, to smoke a dubie??? Choice, for some, but no choice for others, is not equality!!! If the fathers have no choice, they should have no responsibility!!! Roe vs wade has all but destroyed the family unit, but just give it time, and families will be illegal, in a "BRAVE NEW WORLD"!!! WHY IS IT THAT ROE VS WADE ONLY GIVES WOMEN OWNERSHIP OF THEIR BODIES, AND IT'S CONTENTS, but men don't have the right to own their bodies, or it's contents, i.e. urine, sperm, blood, D.N.A....there nothing equal, in what the feminists call equal, except that they have become the same as male chauvinists, equally hateful and one-sided!!!

WARNING to freedom-loving Americans:

Herr McCain is a member (signatory) of the Project for a New American Century (PNAC), a rightwing extremist (fascist) organization formed in 1997 with the intent of overthrowing Saddam Hussein and dominating the world with U.S. military power.

Prior to joining the PNAC conspiracy, McCain was president of the New Citizenship Project (NCP). Founded in 1994 by PNAC organizer William Kristol, NCP was parent to PNAC and served as its chief fundraising arm.

In 1998, McCain co-sponsored the Iraq Liberation Act. Drafted by PNAC, it decreed "regime change" in Iraq to be U.S. policy. To that end, the act appropriated $97 million in U.S. military aid for the Iraqi National Congress (INC).

INC was a group of anti-Hussein Iraqi militants whose purpose was to instigate a national uprising in Iraq. INC was led by Ahmed Chalabi, the Iraqi informant nicknamed “Curve Ball” whose faulty intelligence claimed that Saddam had WMDs and ties to al-Qaida. Chalabi's "intel" was used by Bush to sell the Iraq invasion to Congress.

Finally, McCain was co-chair with Sen. Joe Lieberman of the White House-based Committee for the Liberation of Iraq (CLI). Established by PNAC in 2002, CLI continued to finance Chalabi's INC with millions of taxpayer dollars until shortly after the U.S. invasion of Iraq, when CLI was disbanded.

Given John McCain's firm allegiance to the core missions of PNAC, it should come as no surprise that many of the old PNAC guard have shown up as foreign policy advisers in the senator's 2008 presidential campaign, such as the following prominent neocons:

Richard L. Armitage: PNAC signatory, former Bush 43 Deputy Secretary of State. By his own admission, Armitage was responsible for leaking CIA agent Valerie Plame's CIA identity to the press.

John R. Bolton: PNAC signatory, former U.S. ambassador to U.N. (Nomination to U.N. rejected by Senate, but George W. Bush put him in place on a recess appointment. Name floated for possible Secretary of State for McCain. Advocates attacking Iran.

Max Boot: PNAC signatory, columnist, McCain speech writer. Advocated attacking other Middle East countries in addition to Iraq and Iran, including Syria. Said McCain's "bellicose aura" could "scare the snot out of our enemies," who "would be more afraid to mess with him" than with other then-potential presidential candidates.

Steve Forbes: PNAC founder, flat-tax fanatic

Robert Kagan: PNAC founder.

William Kristol: PNAC founder and editor of the rightwing magazine, Weekly Standard. Has consistently been wrong in his foreign policy analyses regarding Iraq. For example, on March 5, 2003, Kristol said, "I think we'll be vindicated when we discover the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq."

Daniel McKivergan: PNAC deputy director

Randy Scheunemann: PNAC signatory, co-director and executive director of Committee for Liberation of Iraq.

Gary Schmitt: PNAC signatory, Research Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. Defended warrantless eavesdropping on Americans by claiming that Constitution "created a unitary chief executive who could, in times of war or emergency, act with the decisiveness, dispatch and, yes, secrecy, needed to protect the country and its citizens."

James Woolsey: PNAC signatory, Director of the CIA, 1993-1995.

Robert B. Zollick: PNAC signatory, President, World Bank.

For a list of all 225 PNAC signatories, visit the nonprofit investigative website, www.FreedomCentralUSA.com.

What's frightening to me about this article is NOT what it says about Mr. McCain's positions on women's rights but what it says about the electorate.

If 49% of "moderate, often suburban, middle-class women" who support McCain are pro-choice but still vote for him then we get exactly what we deserve.

You cannot blame McCain for his confusing rhetoric nor the media for its failure to expose him. The blame lies squarely with those who are too lazy, careless or plain reckless to take the ten minutes required to determine John McCain's positions on the issues that matter to them.

Shame on you if that's all the effort you can put into deciding which candidate to back.

In a representative democracy, we get exactly what we deserve in our government.

Good luck USA!

Why do you so called progressives question that this man is a sexist or a racist? You publish racist articles on this site then have the gall to question the character of others only to further a political agenda. What about the racism of your writers such as Gary Brecher and his slanderous and hate filled article ‘The Taliban Strikes Back’? You should clean your own house before you point so many fingers, crying racism.

If this site and its publishers had a sense of decency or professionalism they would at least remove racist articles from the front page before posting new ones about the racist or sexist character of others. Maybe even be decent enough to offer an apology or some explanation why it was deemed appropriate to publish hate filled articles. I have seen to much hypocrisy on this site and am disgusted enough that I do not intend to ever return to read another racist and repulsive article or a piece questioning the character of others written by ignorant racists. One has to question the reliability of anything published by sponsors editors and writers of such an entity.

John McCain's response to his wife, Cindy, when she playfully touched his hair and said, "You're getting a little thin up there," tells the whole story about him and his small brain. "At least I'm not plastering my face with makeup like a trollop, you c----." How can a legitimate man speak to his wife like that? Her family's wealth is enabling him to run for the presidency. His comment was reported by news reporters who heard him say those unconscionable words. He's very obviously dumber than s---!

I wouldn't hire this trash mouth guy in my businesses, if I had one nor would I want him to work around female employees, or my female relatives.

And this jerk belongs to the party of god(small g) the 'moral majority'.

And once again McCain proves my point, our point that they are not about Pro-life and Family Values. That pile of crap is nothing more than republican party spin and rhetoric and endless bullshit.

No wonder our troops and the Iraqi people are bring served up as cannon fodder for the profit motives of the Republican mindset.

I seeth with anger when I read this kind of thing about them all, including their hypocritic right wing religions, including my own, the Catholic Church. Their is nothing religious about any of them, right up to the top.

This entire mess is about profits for the Rethugs and about Dominion and Domination for their right wing religions. Pro-life be damned, the family be damned, living wages be damned they are all about riches and more riches for their elite, the wealthy elite and the religious elite.

As Glenn Greenwald, over at Salon.com says, they 'have a two tiered legal system'. There is one for the wealthy and powerful and one for everyman. Poerful politicians, corporate heads, the wealthy, pedophile priests and whoring and gay ministers are treated one way while the rest of us are subject to an entirely different legal system.

Does anyone actually believe that if the Bush girls have an Ectopic pregnancy they are just going to let them die, as the Pope insists. Hell no, they will just fly off to some other country and get their abortion, medically necessary or otherwise.

One of these days, like a giant rubberband, their hypocrisy is going to snap back and hit them right in the face of their rampant hypocrisy.

I've said it before and it deserves repetition, I'll take a reasonable atheist any day over these religious hypocrites. I have known many atheists and they have all been normal reasonable and totally human. While these religious thugs are nothing more than snakes in the tall grass, and totally difficult to see or comprehend. And 'morally relativistic' religious abound in our society and especially in the Repub party and their right wing religions.

I have never in my life treated a woman the way that McCain and his Repub cronies do. Women were never second class people or citizens to me but to my religion they have been so for the past 2000 years.

I hope some court of law drop kicks the entire Bush family from here to their compound in Paraguay, and may they live their in scummy lives in total obscurity, deprived of the recognition they endlessly seek and need to feed their weak, pusillanimous and valueless characters. Morally bereft people that they are.

Remind me to give myself a V8 smack in the head every time I start to believe one of these useless morons who seems to run rampant throughout the Republican party, who are always chasing mammon, and nothing else.

Ahhh, Rampal is on the stereo. Maybe that will help my mood. The cheeriness of the flutes is always whimsical and inspiring. Ooops, it was Salieri, for flute and oboe. Whats not to like about the flute, everything from Galway to the incomparable Paul Horn, Yusef Lateef and Hubie Laws.

It must be flute music day, now they are playing Peer Gynt. I love Grieg and Ibsen; Finlandia, In The Hall of The Mountain King etc.

Jeez, what a classy guy, calling his wife a cunt. It doesn't surprise me, however, since I once did some time as a Naval officer's wife, during which time, I never met a single career officer, including non-coms, who was not a screaming nutjob. (Think of the guy who rode the bomb to earth in "Dr. Strangelove.) Johnny Boy is 3rd generation, I believe, so apparently sleaze has a way of sneaking into some people's DNA.

A propos the C-word, I really don't understand why nobody in the media, even the liberal media, has had the spine to actually utter the "C" word--i.e, "Crazy," and put up in neon lights somewhere in letters six feet high. You think nobody could be worse than Bush? Think again.

But I submit that you have to hand it to the GOP as the most manipulative gang of lying scoundrels in all our lifetimes. In particular, its tenacious recruiting of those with diagostically mental anomalies--first they gave us a complete idiot in the Oval Office, and now they're doing a remake, this time with a goddamn lunatic. The better to line their pockets with your taxes and mine.

Whenever I happen to be talking politics, I give whomever I'm conversing with my best advice: keep your passport current.

If you're wealthy and powerful like McCain, you do get to have a choice about reproductive matters. If not, well tough shit, sluts - you're baby-making vessels whether you like it or not. We gotta make sure we have enough soldiers for our never-ending wars, and maintaining the status quo (adequate numbers of mothers in poverty) is the only way.

Surveys already showed that Clinton supporters were far more likely to support Obama than his supporters were to support Clinton, so McCain's only chance is to confuse voters. He does play the "confused old fart" act well.

I didn't see the usual number of conservative posters taking the Author to task for not supporting McCain. What I did see were lots of individuals saying, "Oh, it's no use, the Democrats and Obama are just as bad."

If I were a McCain supporting conservative, and I were posting on a progressive site, that would be the exact tack I would take. Make the opposition think that it is no use, that it is pointless to even go out and vote.

The author made a compelling case why those who support feminism should support Obama. I agree with her.

There is no better judge of McCain’s behavior as a POW than the late Colonel David Hackworth, a much-decorated career Army officer who became a combat legend in Vietnam.

During his 25 years in the military, which spanned the Korean and Vietnam wars, “Hack” received 78 combat awards, including the Distinguished Service Cross, Silver Star, Bronze Star and eight Purple Hearts.

Before his death in 2005 from cancer, he wrote the following about McCain:

John McCain is being hailed by the press as a “genuine war hero.” But is he a war hero in the conventional sense like Audie Murphy and John Glenn? Or is his “war hero” status the creation of a very slick publicity campaign that plays on flag, duty, honor and country?

For sure, McCain has the “fruit salad”: Silver Star, Distinguished Flying Cross, three Bronze Stars, two Commendation medals plus two Purple Hearts and a dozen service gongs.

On a purely medal-count basis, he outweighs Murphy and Glenn, who both for years repeatedly performed extraordinary deeds on the ground or in the air against an armed enemy.

Yet in McCain’s own words, just four days after being captured, he admitted violating the U.S. Code of Conduct by telling his captors “O.K. I’ll give you military information if you will take me to the hospital.”

A Vietnam vet detractor says, “He received the nation’s third highest award, the Silver Star, for treason. He provided aid and comfort to the enemy!”

The facts are that McCain signed a confession and declared himself a “black criminal who performed deeds of an air pirate.” This statement and other interviews he gave to the Communist press were used as propaganda to fan the flames of the antiwar movement.

Accounts by McCain and other writers tell of the horror he endured: relentlessly beatings, torture, broken limbs―all inflicted during savage interrogations. Yet no other POW was a witness to these accounts. A former POW says, “No man witnessed another man during interrogations. We relied on each other to tell the truth when a man was returned to his cell.”

The U.S. Navy says two eyewitnesses are required for any award of heroism. But for the valor awards McCain received, there are no eyewitnesses, less himself and his captors.

Our POWs in Vietnam were treated appallingly. The Viets would either break a POW or kill him. POWs provided info beyond name, rank and serial number or they didn’t come back.

Based on these stalwart men’s horrific experiences, the Code of Conduct has been changed. A POW says, “Now the training is to give them something… don’t risk permanent damage to health, mind or body.”

McCain refused an early release. An act of valor? Three former POWs told me he was ordered to turn it down by his U.S. POW commander and he “just followed orders.”

McCain certainly doesn't appear to be a war hero by conventional standards, but rather a tough survivor whose handlers are overplaying the war hero card.

In an article published in June 2008 by Military.com, former POW Phillip Butler, a Navy pilot and Naval Academy graduate who spent over eight years in captivity, explained why he would not support John McCain for the presidency.

Here are some excerpts from Butler’s Internet posting:

Believe me when I say that back then I would never in a million years have dreamed that the crazy guy across the hall would someday be a Senator and candidate for President! John was a wild man. He was funny, with a quick wit and he was intelligent. But he was intent on breaking every regulation in our four-inch-thick USNA Regulations book. And I believe he must have come as close to his goal as any midshipman who ever attended the Academy.

I could tell many other midshipman stories about John that year and he unbelievably managed to graduate though he spent the majority of his first class year on restriction for the stuff he did get caught doing. In fact he barely managed to graduate, standing 5th from the bottom of his 800-man graduating class. I and many others have speculated that the main reason he did graduate was because his father was an Admiral, and also his grandfather, both U.S. Naval Academy graduates.

I furthermore believe that having been a POW is no special qualification for being President of the United States. The two jobs are not the same, and POW experience is not, in my opinion, something I would look for in a presidential candidate.

Most of us who survived that experience are now in our late 60’s and 70’s. Sadly, we have died and are dying off at a greater rate than our non-POW contemporaries. We experienced injuries and malnutrition that are coming home to roost. So I believe John’s age (72) and survival expectation are not good for being elected to serve as our President for four or more years.

I can verify that John has an infamous reputation for being a hot head. He has a quick and explosive temper that many have experienced firsthand. Folks, quite honestly that is not the finger I want next to that red button.

John is not a religious person, but he has taken every opportunity to ally himself with some really obnoxious and crazy fundamentalist ministers lately. I was also disappointed to see him cozy up to Bush because I know he hates that man. He disingenuously and famously put his arm around the guy, even after Bush had intensely disrespected him with lies and slander. So on these and many other instances, I don’t see that John is the “straight talk express” he markets himself to be.

Butler ended his article this way:

In short, I think John Sidney McCain III is a good man, but not someone I will vote for in the upcoming election to be our President of the United States.

----------------------------------------------

In sum, there are numerous Vietnam veterans, including fellow POWs, who think Senator McCain crossed the line during his NVA interrogations and cooperated more than he should have. Many others believe he betrayed the families of American servicemen missing in Southeast Asia by abruptly halting the 1992 Senate investigation and sealing their records. Assuming those perceptions are correct, they explain why McCain has flip-flopped this year on major issues, such as torture and Bush tax cuts.

Clearly the senator’s core values are conflicted. Either that or he is not being true to himself and the American people. Whatever the case, John McCain’s obvious lack of integrity disqualifies him from becoming our next commander-in-chief.

Why do we insist on publishing these articles that bash our politicians personal record? I understand, our system is corrupt, power hungry, disgusting, ludicrous, and basically doesn't work for us. But why do we attack the politicians personally? This seems to only be mudslinging and puts those who do support the politician on the defensive. The point NEVER gets through to them that the person is a bad choice for office. What we need to attack is NOT the person but the system. To say the McCain is McEvil, although clever, is forcing those who support him to become defensive. What we should say is McCain supports the very system that has turned it's back on us and forgotten the words of freedom justice and equality for all, here's why. The difference is slim, but it makes a world of difference for the arguments sake. A little respect goes along way.

Something, there! I said it again. That's right, I'm officially not an expert, but I've seen plenty of old men who've lost that twinkle in their eye. Like McSame, they've given up something they love. It's not just that he hates to campaign. It's not just that he is free of an agenda. He's not saving anything for October or any other month. He's got NOTHING and every body and every thing around him is suffering because HE IS POLITICALLY IMPOTENT. The pipe has swung it's last swing. He is only going to get meaner. Let's hope they keep him away from sharp objects and spicy food.

You consider your wife to be property, like a car or home? You claim abortion is murder but then say children should be sold to pay off debts. You think every fetus should be born, but don't want fathers to be responsible for supporting them. Why do I get the feeling you're an abuser?

Did you know that George SR. was the director of the C.I.A. when J.F.K. was assassinated, and that his father Prescott Bush, supported Hitler, and the NAZI'S during WWII, America has been Bushwhacked!!! America hasn't had a choice for president, since J.F.K., the media, and the corporations, choose for us!!! Sure we have a choice between their choices, but they win either way, because they own all of the horses in the race!!! McCain, is just Bush's puppet, and if he gets behind in the pools, OBama will be eliminated, or elections them-self!!! We have given our nation to the beast of division and special privilege!!! Evil is like a pimple, it has to fester and come to a head, before it can pop and go away!!! And the government, has been festering since 1964--- "THERE SHE BLOWS"!!!

" at least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt." SHE DOES IT ALL FOR YOU , MC COATHANGER! [a wire coathanger being that handy little illegal abortion tool that so many women used before roe v wade!] I had to ask myself after reading this, what moderate, REPUG-NICAN- breeder yuppie " husband whore" woman in her right mind would vote for this SCHMUCK???

actually my sister, linda, is NOT one of the breeders. rather, she is a new york city high school teacher whom teaches mostly poor black and latino/latina kids and earns just $72,000 a year. but having gone repug some years back- she thinks this guy is " god's gift to america" and yes; she intends on voting for him!

this guys a jack of all asses and we liberals know this. truthfully, I can not see any sensible hillary woman voting for this! she'd choose OBAMA any day! [ or maybe nader or mc kinney???????]
another question I would've asked mc jackass-hole about his then 15 year old daughter is this. " if you're daughter got raped and had to give birth to the bastard's child? how would you feel, mr mc shithead? IS THAT A 'PRIVATE FAMILY MATTER' TOO???"
I already read the NARAL thing some time back , and so, knew what this " moderate-maverick" was all about. BUT.... so many still don't and hell, I could still see all those religiously-rendered into severe stupidity, barefoot in the winter and pregnant in the summer; female clerks at the "center hill , florida convienence store" voting for this guy! as long as [ gov.] Charlie Christ and their southern baptist minister tell them to vote for "johnny mc jerk-o-lantern"; they sho-ly wi-ill now! [ this unless they are black-whom I'd have to assume obama already won, even the preachers?? I HOPE!]

I am certainly glad that someone is standing up against Planned Parenthood. Not that I am either for or against McCain. Since when does handing out birth-control pills to minors that don't want to keep their legs together and believe in promiscuity, correct? Also, there are pregnancy centers that give advice, and encourage women that there is a choice out there vs. abortion. I believe the only one that has a choice here is God. God is the one that either gives life or takes it away. The only time I might believe in abortion is to protect the life of a mother, otherwise it's a no-no. How many minors are currently out there that have had an abortion that are now wishing they didn't, or are in depression or having serious emotional issues? Planned Parenthood, definitely doesn't care if your child is having emotional problems. Like it or not, ABORTION IS INHUMAN! ABORTION IS MURDER!

I don't know why the FEMINAZI'S are against McCain, they're both cold hearted bitches!!!

This was an excellent brief on McCain's clear anti-choice stance. I have followed much of the campaign but had not really absorbed how much he would threaten Roe-Wade and how unconcerned he is with female issues.

I guess his comments about cunts and tail-hook exploits are important if they have been fully vetted, otherwise they will surly backfire. They have the ring of truth to this old vet and I also think we need to keep up the drum beat on how he ditched his first wife and committed adultery with what's her name; that supposedly turned off Ron and Nancy Reagan.

While I think a McCain presidency would be a catastrophe, his comment that it's hard for women to leave them "when they don't have someone to care for them" was misinterpreted. I think he meant it was hard for women to leave their children at home when there was no one else to provide childcare, not that women needed to be cared for. Fair's fair!

In front of people so you can imagine what she endures with him alone. No wonder she doesn't live with him in Washington. This guy is a privileged opportunist; he always puts his finger up to see which way the wind blows. Anyway, the cunt crack says it all. And why do we not read about this in the newspaper or hear about it on TV? Something tells me if Obama said something like that it would get wide exposure. McNasty they call him.
