Mount Airy, MD |  Juan McCain Trying to Save Himself
The only problem is, his record on the issues turns off many primary voters, regardless of what the polls say. He's running the same campaign that he did in 2000, only worse, and he will have the same result.

North Andover, MA | Re: Juan McCain Trying to Save Himself There's no one close to the calliber of #43 running on either ticket. McCain will lose to a better candidate this time..
In fact it will probably be a long time before you see another presidential candidate who has failed at everything he's attempted in his life. At least he's kept his track record in tact.. | |

If you are referring to Bush, then we need to ask the question, why is Mrs. Bill Clinton running on the promise to fix the same things her husband promised to fix back in 1992?

North Andover, MA | Re: Juan McCain Trying to Save Himself Why do we need to ask that? Are you suggesting that the Clintons have not had success in life? Little Bush, on the other hand, has destroyed everything he's laid his eyes, but has been fortunate enough to have a successful father to drag him up after each catastrophe. | |

| | | John McCain not Trustworthy
He divorced his first wife after returning from vietnam for a rich girl Cindy Hensley.
He had an affair with this woman while he was married to his former who was physically messed up from an accident.(what a nice guy he was...)
Can you trust a person who had an affair while his physically injured wife stays at home with another person, and then has the audacity to marry the other one shortly thereafter ????
not a trustworthy person..........
A person's character defines his future intents when he's confronted with unforeseen circumstances.

| |  Chicken or Egg ??
And that answer isn't as obvious as it seems. No matter which side of an issue a Senator decides to support(especially a member of the Commerce committee), he can find plenty of money to back his election campaigns. Many times a Senator will take a side on an issue and the money THEN just naturally follows.
I know that goes against the standard thinking that a Senator is for sale, but there is so much money on BOTH sides of every issue, that a Senator doesn't HAVE TO sell his vote. He gets the money in either case.

I'm sure within a year any Senator supports a measure that happens to align with special interest, regardless of the special interests. | |

Meanwhile, he also go after idiots like McCain. Being a war hero doesn't excuse idiocy and selling out the American people nearly 4 decades later.
In this instance Drudge is pointing out that the Times has learned being locked in a box and beaten doesn't inoculate you from being a typical political whore who should be thrown out of Congress. | |

Most Americans couldn't care less about politicians having dealings with lobbyists. That's like saying the sky is blue.
If someone really wants to legitimately trash McCain, one need only point out his support of civil rights for the illegal enemy combatants in Club Gitmo, as well as his undying support of shamnesty for illegal aliens.

| | | | | | | said by pnh102:I don't follow. Stephen Colbert is an actor who plays a commentator on a TV show. Matt Drudge simply shows links to news stories and pictures on his website. Both are very conservative slanted. One (Colbert) is satire and the other (Drudge) wants to be taken seriously. Matt does more than just link stories. Often times he either misrepresents the story or point with his own commentary, chooses those articles that show only his point of view, or simply makes stuff up and says something like, "more details to follow."
The guy is a conservative hack and Colbert is pretending to be a conservative hack. Thus the comment I made. | |

1 edit | What's wrong? If McCain is negotiating with the NYTimes behind the scenes to sit on a story, I'd like to know about it.
And I'd like to thank Matt Drudge for letting me know about it.
The story is either accurate or it's not. McCain should be able to withstand the story if he's got nothing to hide. He definitely shouldn't be working behind the scenes to squash a story. If he's the national hero that he paints himself to be, then he should have no problem explaining why the story is wrong in public, rather than having his team suppress it. Why the hell would he need to suppress something that's not true?
"Matt Drudge Launches Telecom Bomb At John McCain
Says presidential candidate pandered to telecom lobbyist...."
And what of the name-calling here about Drudge ("launches bomb" "gossip hound" "raking the muck")? And what of the sub-headline here that says that Drudge is the one saying that McCain pandered to a lobbyist? Isn't it the NYTimes's sources that are saying that? Drudge is reporting on the alleged attempted coverup of the Times story by McCain's team. Why such stilted reporting at Broadbandreports?
Thanks Drudge.
