During this past week: McCain called the most important entitlement program in the U.S. a disgrace, his top economic adviser called the American people whiners, McCain released an economic plan that no one thought was serious, he flip flopped on Iraq, joked about the deaths of Iranian citizens, and denied making comments that he made - TWICE.

it almost looks like the media have picked their candidate, since they let all this go.

The media gave up on this race a long time ago.
Anyway, they are a all a collection of tics and twitches with no direction and no vision and no interest in the process.
Their only interest now is who the VeePee is for each candidate. Watch them for the next few weeks ... they are absolutely giddy with anticipation of 'tricking' a candidate into giving them a 'scoop' about who the VeePee will Bee.
....
McCain is a sad, sad, sad story. 8 Years ago ... he actually seemed to have some credibility.
But now, he's had to sell himself out to such a degree ... I don't even know WHAT or WHO this guy is.
I just know that he claims he wants to continue the Bush Administration.

That's ok. Barack should have been finished with that lame-brained speech he made back in March in Philly about not throwing his pastor under the bus no more than his grandmother. (poor thing).
But this should clear it up:

"...they are a all a collection of tics and twitches with no direction and no vision and no interest in the process."
You must be referring to your constant rants and harangues. Obama flips, flops, lies and denies on a daily basis, and people get up in arms over McCain telling the truth about social security? It is a disgrace. It's been screwed up for decades.
Obama slides all over the place on Iraq and countless other issues, and people get mad because a McCain advisor referred to people as whiners.
It's hilarious people think Obama is getting anything other than kid-glove treatment from main stream media. That just goes to show you how far out in lefty field most of the Propeller libs truly are.

McCain denied that Maliki asked for a timetable for U.S. troops withdrawal, and he contradicted himself about Social Security -- all during ONE interview.

McCain apparently can't even think - for himself or at all - anymore.
But, that is how W has been for the last 7.5 years. Maybe that is why so many people like him?
It just doesn't make any sense, that ANYONE would allow him ANY credibility anymore ...

If seniors would understand that McCain will not represent their most cherished needs (medicare and social security) and that AARP represents the pharmaceutical companies and big insurance companies interests before it does them, McCain's candicacy would be in the hopper, where it belongs.
The main problem is that seniors get their news on the tv from msm that perpetuates the propaganda that has virtually ruined this nation. But that is beginning to change as more and more seniors are becoming internet savy.

"Republican presidential candidate John McCain was asked about an Associated Press report that $158 million in cigarettes have been shipped to Iran during George W. Bush's presidency despite restrictions on U.S. exports to that country."
A nation of laws, huh?
Try 'a nation morally vacant; not leaning, but racing toward fascism.' Let's see religion fix THIS condition.

Indeed! My only surprise on that, at the moment, is where Missouri is. Its been bouncing back and forth between them all year so far. I think it will go to Obama. I think Obama is wasting his time in Georgia, as well. He might win it, though, if he has the money to burn. One Georgia strategy Obama might pursue is talking positively of Barr... because he's not gonna win it by a majority. The only way he can pull off a win in Georgia is if Barr blows it for McCain... considering Barr is polling in the 8% range, its possible. I believe that a victory by plurality in a state will still be netting all the electoral votes for one candidate.

Mdiar, remember Georgia sat Barr down when he got off track on Newt's Contract on everything that didn't promote their version of a conservative agenda. Remember Ken Starr spending $20 million in the Clinton bashing scam, and Bob would have doubled that. All this credit stuff now leads back to him and others cutting safeguards that protected the people for "friends and family" to get their scams on. McCain has little appeal, and Barr even less. Cynthia McKinney will, and should out pace Barr.

Obama is run by the same circles that run McCain. He does not represent much of a chance for change. Indeed, one could argue that his election (by the "pretend opposition") will only cement in the corruption.
Barack Obama's Whitewashed History of U.S. Foreign Policy
Politics â;; In Obama's world view, as in that of his Harvard friend and former foreign policy adviser Samantha Power, American crimes generally don't exist. They didn't happen." Denial is serious business. "Candidate Obama's foreign policy pronouncements have been loaded with promises of future criminality under an Obama administration."

Obama And McCain: Two Sides Of The Same Coin
Politics â;; The Democratic Party is about as much an "opposition party" as Eli Lilly is to Searle. They are just different brands of the same product. The product is the Military-C... that owns America, owns the media, owns the banking system and owns just about every main-stream politician in this whole damn country.
http://politics.propeller.com/story/2008/06/14/...
Obama's Chicago Boys
Money â;; Obama has appointed "Chicago Boys" who support neo-liberal economic policies as his economic advisers. Now is the time to worry about their commitment to fending off serious attempts at regulation. Before Obama can purge Washington of the scourge of Friedmanism, he has some ideological housecleaning of his own to do.

So what are you all trying to say, that McCain is not perfect? Well gosh darn, that comes as a surprise to me. He is a living, breathing American hero (something of a bigot and I suspect that intellectually he's no MENSA candidate). But he represents what this country is all about (if that's so then maybe it's time to change what this country is all about to what it used to be all about). Anyway, give the man a break (one arm, one leg would do).

It has nothing to do with perfection.
When a man running for President says that Iraq did NOT ask for a timetable for withdrawal, TWO days after Iraq asked for a timetable for withdrawal, that man has a HUGE problem.
If the rest of the country also can't keep up with current events and cannot keep any facts straight on any issue, or can't keep any POSITIONS straight on any issues, then maybe the country DESERVES McCain.
If McCain cannot even keep up with current events - let alone his OWN positions on issues, he has NO business running for ANY political office.

About American main stream media: it embellishes truth just as a padded bra or a wig does!(My apologies to the ladies here!) Heck, sometimes it creates a vision as real as Ru Paul! I call them laptop lapdogs. They will let the politicians pet them and eat anything they feed them.
Their laptops are their instruments of pumping fake and false fodder to the unsuspecting public.
McCain has no credibility left. He criticizes Social Security as a system of younger workers feeding older retirees. (It has been that way since it began, but who wants to mess with truth?)
While he is saying this, HE IS COLLECTING a Social Security check of $23,157 every year! No doubt paid in by some poor, hardworking youngster!
McCain is a phony, and we al
