in saying that you'd overlook the non-issue. But you're not quite living up to your screen name of "ihavenobias".&nb sp; Sheesh. ;)
In all honesty, this doesn't seem like that big of a deal (at least not yet). But the Keating stuff that is laid out pretty well in the article is much more damning as far as I'm concerned
We should go back to your post about Ana. I feel like we were pretty close to getting some (no pun intended*) on that one.
*It was intended.
I'll just leave it at that. Very nice.
Bill Clinton...or..based on the primary results, Hillary either.
Nice spin but its not a simple matter of "writing letters" as you make it out to be, particularly for a man who has made lobbists and campaign reform a signature issue nor does it speak well of his " experience " and judgment.
I must say I am disappointed and not in a political sense as you might expect.
If you've ever had the misfortune of sitting thru an ethics course you would hear the distinction made over and over.
McCain claimed to be a reformer, he claimed to be an independent thinker and he claims to be free of influence. He said he learned a lesson based on the Keating affair and that he learned the error of his ways.
Now this. The NYT, call them what you will, has been working this story for several months, McCain hired a criminal lawyer to try and stop the story and by several reports personally attempted to suppress the story in the NYT. These are confirmed by numerous sources what the campaign says not withstanding.
Even if nothing illegal took place, it calls into question his judgment and the voracity of his positions.
No matter what you may think appearances are important, a 63 year old man ( at the time) spending a great deal of time with an extremely attractive young woman would and did raise eyebrows and give the appearance of impropriety.
It is human nature to think that, particularly in view of the fact that he divorced his first wife and married a woman 11 years his junior. Examples in the lives of normal people abound. I know it, you know it, and a possible future President of the United States should know it.
Add the fact that she was a lobbyist for a large corporation under the oversight of his committee working on legislation that would ultimately be favorable to them ( the company) reinforces that view. His staff recognized this and intervened. They said they often have to do this to" protect McCain" from himself.
Do we need a president that needs this kind of "supervision?" Who will protect us from his impluses?
So in conclusion, perception is reality, Republicans have been using that concept for years in their campaigning..its called swift boating. Please spare me more Clinton stories...this is exactly the same view I had of Clinton.
just shows a patern of behavior. Domer? in what sense?
1.ND student or
2. A girl that gives great head to all the homies.. but isnt a slut
3. A bowl of ganja that is for one person, whether it be from a bong or a pipe. Smoke it all in one hit or a few hits, depending on the size of the bowl and your lungs. It goes straight to the dome.
just googles and links. He rarely reads what he links to so it is usually worth while to take a look at it.
However, when it is a you tube link it is usually some propaganda BS that can be ignored.
Hey Ken, show us that video of the Kurds thanking America one more time.
"Adultry? Both parties deny it, but at his age, I would be impressed if he could somehow make it happen."
That demonstrates the difference in Kentx's mind between Democrats committing adultery and Repubs committing adultry. If you're a Democrat you're a "rapist and sexual predator", if you're a Republican then you get the benefit of the doubt, and if you did cheat, you're "impressive".&nbs p; What a master of rationalization.
Fox Business News has information on handy devices that might be useful to Cindy McCain to do some investigations of her own in the event of possible transgressions. Thank god for FOX News, they're always on top of the important stories!
Well, a long time ago I read an article in Hustler magazine (so you know it's true) about Project Monarch. Basically it's a CIA sex slave operation for powerful people, and it's fucking insane. But according to the lady in the article Cheney is pretty hung, so make sure you factor that in to your calculation.
But seriously, the picture they had at the top of the article initially (they've since changed it) made McCain look like a total geek. I was wondering the same thing. The craziest part is that both of the women he's been with recently (I haven't seen his first wife) have actually been somewhat kind of sort of dare I say attractive (if that's enough qualifiers for you). Power sure does do some amazing things.
We all know the media's history of sticking with any Republican scandals. This will, like all the others before it, go by the wayside soon. If the Clintons planned it (which I don't believe), then they must have internal poll numbers that are even worse than the media's numbers to pull a crazy ass stunt like this. Put a fork in McCain and put a few prongs in Hillary as well. Both of them are quite done.
Everybody has been very funny recently. It's only a matter of time before some people come along to "not get it" and ruin all our fun. Enjoy it while it lasts.
But I think bobo is pretty new to this whole "internets" thing, so I'll let it slide. ... Once...
Or does it just go by cookies?
Dude, you are a neo con.
Who are you trying to bull shit.
Don't you know? He's a "liberal republican" as he said himself. He only cares about two conservative issues: Tax cuts, and killing terrorists. Yet he's a member of the Minutemen, and I don't know a whole lot of "liberals" who really give a shit about the border (at least not enough to "guard" it for any amount of time).
Oh Ken. Don't try to be moderate now just because your neocon ways are going out of style. Hold firm to your beliefs and march proudly into irrelevance.
I knew this was coming and I decided not to wait for the trifecta. What will Rush say? The same thing you and Ken are saying.
It's all Clinton's fault.
You are taking the "it must be another Clinton dirty trick" approach.
Ken is using the old faithful "Clinton did too" strategy.
All that is missing now is the "Clinton invented the adultering politician" so it is his fault angle.
I saw this coming a mile away.
Getting a liberal rag like the NYT to do his dirty work probably made the deal all the sweeter.
