John McCain: The 25-Year Washington Insider Comically Running as the Washington Outsider


The Republican convention is finally over. Thankfully, my large-screen TV's still in-tact despite three nights of me throwing my enraged liberal Birkenstocks at it. The whole event was a freak-show of deception, scripted by the duplicitous campaign chief Steve Schmidt and GOP operative Karl Rove and executed by a shameless parade of disingenuous conservative liars.

The biggest liar of all is the party's nominee, Sen. John McCain, who is desperately trying to portray himself as the Washington "outsider" and the candidate of change. In fact, listening to the Republicans this week would lead one to believe that it's been the Democrats, not them, who's been running Washington these past eight years. The NY Times wrote Friday that:

"The nominee’s friend described him as a "restless reformer who will clean up Washington." His defeated rival described him going to the capital to "drain that swamp." His running mate described their mission as "change, the goal we share." And that was at the incumbent party’s convention."

"Drain that swamp?" If in fact Washington's been a swamp since George Bush took office in 2000, then McCain's been wading in it with his thigh-high muck-boots along with Bush, Dick Cheney and the rest of the Bushevik swamp-dwelling, Constitution-defiling cronies.

All week long we heard about McCain and his anti-woman woman running-mate Sarah Palin talk about heading to Washington to shake things up. Watch out DC, McCain/Palin's comin' to town to whip all you corrupt, amoral, wasteful-spending insiders into shape. And the central character in this line of bullshit is Palin herself. That somehow McCain's six terms as a U.S. Senator is negated by his decision to appoint some no-name arctic oil-whore as his running mate.

It's astounding how McCain can attempt to credibly run as a Washington outsider when over the course of his 25 Senate inside years he was a disgraced member of the corrupt Keating Five; enthusiastically supported every one of Bush/Cheney's reckless war blunders; voted with Bush 90% of the time; and has had more lobbyists on his payroll than your average K Street lobbying firm.

But credibility has never been the Republicans' strong suit. They're the guys who dodged the Vietnam draft yet paint war heroes like John Kerry, Jack Murtha and Max Cleland as weak and unable to protect America. They're the guys with the highest wealth and privilege yet paint Barack Obama and Joe Biden as elitists. They're the guys who've controlled power for the last eight years under Bush, and for virtually all of the past 14 years in the House and Senate, yet portray Washington as a Democratic cesspool. And now we have McCain and his 25-year swamp-stained D.C. muck-boots calling Obama the Washington insider.

Let's hope that over the next 60 days McCain and Palin are exposed for the frauds that they are.

Obama: comically running as an accomplished and experienced candidate.

I found McSame's speech a wonderful exercise in doublespeak--George Orwell would have been proud of the senator from Arizona!
With a voting record of 90% support for Bush and Cheney's mistakes and missteps, how can McSame sleep at night while claiming he's a candidate of "change?" The only "change" in which he's interested is the "change" you'll have remaining from your hard-earned paycheck after the tax-and-spend, pork-barrel Repugs finish with their disaatrous handling of the economy!

I used to think who in their right mind would ever vote for Bush the second time?
The American electorate is plain stupid. It is the electorate that has embarrassed this great country to the eyes of the free world. Not Bush and Cheney.
If this miserable duo consisting of someone who in the initial stage of dementia and a woman who probably can not give the definition of GDP without googling it first, is elected, who is to take the blame?

You betray your lack of knowledge as to history. You are right, except you fail to mention that the Solid Democratic South became a Solid Republican South 100% because of a Democratic president's (Johnson) signing into law of the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act. Strom Thurmond was once a Democrat, but like many other bigots and racists, became a Republican once he knew that Democratic leadership supported civil rights for african-americnas.

You're an idiot. By the way, Democrat Harry Truman integrated the armed forces by executive order. Look at the sea of white (mostly male) faces at the Republican convention and compare that with the Democratic convention. You're full of shit.

Sidney,
Robert "KKK" Byrd is a celebrated Democrat and Klansman.

Its not the Republicans fault that 90% of blacks are voting for Obama based on his race. 90% of blacks were voting for Obama versus Hillary Clinton too, so don't try to tell me its a Democrat versus Republican issue. You are the idiot.

You pompously spout your nonsense on this blog, predict the future as if it's fact, and try to demean anyone that disagrees with you. You did it during the Primaries as well, so there is no need to try to state that this is a Democrat versus Republican problem for you either.

Why don't you back up your talk with your wallet? You haven't donated any money to the Obama campaign, yet you are lawyer. Is your lawyer salary too restrive or do you just prefer to use other people's money for your causes ?

Sidney Condorcet said...

Who the fuck are you?

"You haven't donated any money to the Obama campaign, yet you are lawyer." Do you work at my bank? How the hell would you know whether I've donated money? In fact, I've donated several times to the Obama campaign and the DNC. You, poor soul, are delusional.

And the fact that you note one member of the Democratic Congress who was a member of the KKK for a fleeting period in the 1950s, says absolutely nothing about the Democratic Party as a whole and does little to refute what I said in my prior post. You are brain dead. Seriously, you should consider a full-frontal lobotomy...oh wait, too late!

Online Etymology Dictionary
1880, from up; originally used by blacks of other blacks felt to be too self-assertive (first recorded use is in "Uncle Remus"). The parallel British variant uppish (1678) originally meant "lavish;" the sense of "conceited, arrogant" being first recorded 1734.


He doesn't need to back off. Just because blacks used that word as a derogatory term for other blacks doesn't mean that others can't use those same words without being racist.

I seem to recall at least one word that blacks like to use that we aren't allowed to use. The Political Thought Police on the left are racist.

Don't tell me that blacks can use words that whites cannot use. My ancestors fought for the North to free the slaves that the Democrats in the south wanted to keep as property.

Yeah, and my father fourght against Republicans in the 60's to guarantee that african-americans in the South can vote. Republicans didn't want to see them get full use of the franchise.

Sidney Condorcet said...

Umm, not really.

I said the shift occurred over the course of time, beginning with FDR who first began to bring African-Americans into the Democratic coalition.

The switch was not final until the 60's with the passage of the Civil Rights Act, which is what prompted many Southern Democrats to become Republicans, and which thus, finally, made the Republican Party, the party of racists.

Your logic is as twisted as your ideology. You truly are dim-witted, my poor friend.

There is no way you can compare Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt or Eisenhower to any Republican today. What's your point? Historical analogies as to individuals are hard to make.

I appreciate you having admitted that you were wrong. For that, I'm sorry for having showered you with complete and perhaps unnecessary derision.

This is politics, man. I'm sure in private that Obama believes his vote was wrong. Just as I'm sure that in private, McCain still believes that Bush's war time tax cuts were wrong, that his immigration bill was right, that these religious figures he's cozied up to in order to get the religious right's favor are still "agents of intolerance" and so forth.

You'll never get the politics out of the politicians man. So there's so much shit we have to swallow from Dems and Repugs alike. Sad, but true.

Excuse me, but Merriam-Webster defines "whore" as:

It does not have to be associated with one gender or another. Dick Cheney is an oil whore. Is it a pejorative term? Yes. Did I intend it that way? Yes. Is she an oil whore? Yes. Take your Republican framing games elsewhere. They don't work here, pal.

As for the other poster's comment about "counting blacks"...if you don't wanting us on the left counting the 2 blacks on the right that were shown at the GOP convention, it's simple: stop being the virtually all-white party.

Sidney Condorcet said...

I was a fiscal conservative once. I believed in the power of untethered markets and individual choice. Its what made me a Republican up until 2002.

Unfortunately, i've come to realize that national problems demand national solutions and that the federal government is the only protector of average people when it comes to private tyrannies. I've seen the gap between the rich and poor grow to such extremes it scares me that we will lead lives so removed from each other and it eventually lead to civil unrest.

"A State divided into a small number of rich and a large number of poor will always develop a government manipulated by the rich to protect the amenities represented by their property."--Harold Laski

I don't believe in socialism or communism or vast redistribution of wealth. I just believe that in the world's richest nation it is unseemly and immoral that 50 Million Americans have no health insurance at all and another 30 million are underinsured. These people end up presenting to emergency rooms, where taxpayers are still footing the bill, but where the cost of treatment has sky rocketed as the medical problem became more serious and acute.

One problem that I see with your "move to the state that suits you" idea is that it will lead to more polarized states where political opponents can be more easily demonized. When neighborhoods become more ideologically pure, we tend to only see the caricature of our political opponents and we cease to understand that they make come to an equally valid political belief, no matter how much one disagrees.

Obama's appeal - if people listed to him(both right and left) is that he wants to move past all of this and learn to find a middle ground - even on hot-button issues. Mccain at one point seemed to believe in this - how he ran his campaign, his selection of Palin and the hate-fest portrayed at the RNC demonstrates that this is no longer the case.

It is impossible to listen to and aossociate with hatred and not believe it, also.

He has fooled so many and I don't see how that's possible. But it's true.

Now it could have been calculated political ambition and he needed that church. Then, the same could be said for Palin. If you excuse one you must excuse the other to be intellectually honest.

I lived in a community that was composed mostly of Jews. One very threatening rainy day I offered a Jewish man a ride in my car to his destination. He sat in the back, rolled down the windows and said nothing until we arrived and hastily got out.

I later found out that was in keeping with the Jewish men's opinion of women. Not to mention what I learned in Sunday School from the Old Testament, some of which has now been adopted by the Southern Baptist Church. At least they no longer stone adulteresses.\

I guess I should throw inthe Catholic Church that doesn't think women are fit to be priests. (All from the Old Testament I think.)
I therefore, according to the skewed logic from one poster, must never vote for a Jewish man to be President, or another Catholic one, despite the competence of JFK.

12:37 In your opinion one rellgious belief is "rude" while the other is hatefilled. Really. The Jewish man was not "rude" he was reflecting the basic disdain for women by excluding them in the primary religious rites. And, the Jews can do and believe what they want - it's their religious belief. But therefore, so is the unacceptable tenets that are believed by other religions. In other words -- that's what's so great about our country. Religious freedom -- if only we could do it without malice.

However, no matter what religion it is and no matter in what country in which it is practiced women are always, always, at the least, disregarded and minimized and men the "rulers."

Bacci40,
You obviously missed Barack Obama's speech. Instead of the optimist that got him to where he is, he was trying to act tough. It was the angriest Obama I've ever seen. If Palin's community organizer jokes were 'hate', than surely you believe Obama's anger toward Bush/McCain/Conservatives is anger too.

I love how Dems can make any joke they want and if it upsets any conservative it means that conservatives don't have a sense of humor. Ostroy pulls that move all the time. When a conservative makes a joke, its hatred.

Ostroy,
If Palin is an "oil whore", does the story below make Obama a "parasite (or john) of an oil whore" ?

I knew that Barack Obama was once named Barry Soetoro, having taken his stepfather's last name. No big deal, really. Plenty of kids take the last name of Stepfather. Nothing to see here when it comes to that.

Not given to fiction, I didn't read Barry's books. I relied instead on the debunking of some of his stories by the Chicago Tribune Investigative Reporter. So, what I didn't know is that his stepfather, Lolo Soetoro, was an Indonesian Oil Executive.

I mean, who hasn't read or heard Barack Obama's sad sad sad sad sad sad poverty story repeated ad nauseum? You know, the food stamps, the horrible horrible poverty. Everywhere you go on the internet and everywhere you look in the Obama press, you hear about poor poor Barry.

I was wondering exactly how a kid whose stepfather was an oil executive, whose grandmother was a bank Vice President and whose Mother was working on a phD found himself on food stamps? I just don't get it. But then not much about Barack Obama adds up, does it now?

Barry lived in Hawaii, where his bank VP Grandmother was. Even with a father who took off on him, do we really think his grandmother let him starve while his mother, who, like so many people we all know, seemed to have very bad taste in spousal selection-- was between husbands?

After his mother re-married, Barry lived in Indonesia with his Oil Executive stepfather. His mother worked at the embassy in Indonesia. Next, he asked to move back to Hawaii, where his grandmother arranged for him to attend an expensive private school, which he personally selected. So exactly how does all of this this add up to being a poor unfortunate poverty-cursed kid?

Here's how Barry explains it:

"I had to reconcile a lot of different threads growing up—race, class," he told me. "For example, I was going to a fancy prep school, and my mother was on food stamps while she was getting her Ph.D."

Sounds rough on Barry doesn't it? He was attending a fancy prep school paid for by his successful grandmother, and mom was getting her Ph.D. Sounds so painful and hopeless for Barry! The food stamps thing doesn't even fit in does it? I mean, shall I assume that Typical White Woman Grandmother paid for prep school and let poor Barry's mother languish in hunger? And since Barry was busy at his Prep School, exactly how does his mother's food stamps make him Poor Barry? He was living with his grandparents in Hawaii during his Prep School days, so it's pretty safe to say that Barry wasn't going hungry.

Perhaps Barry's mother "qualified" for food stamps while she was getting her Ph.D, and like so many people, she took advantage of that opportunity. Or maybe she never was on food stamps at all. We will never know, because so much of what Barack Obama says is crap, but do we really think that Barry was Poor Poor Barry during his Prep School days?

Poor Poor Barry.

We don't know the background and hardships of those you nastily call "Poor white trash." One thing you can probably be sure of is that they are "poor.". Not Obama's case, at all.

OBAMA CAUGHT LYING AGAIN

Obama said anyone spreading rumors about Palin’s daughter’s pregnancy would be fired.

until...

An original member of Barack Obama’s finance committee said Friday that Sarah Palin is putting her career above her family by accepting the nomination as John McCain’s running mate.

Howard Gutman made the argument on “The Laura Ingraham Show,” telling the radio host that the Alaska governor should focus her energy on her unwed, pregnant teenage daughter.

“If my daughter had just come home at 17 years old and said, ‘Mom, Dad, I’m pregnant, we have a family problem,’ I wouldn’t say, ‘You know what we’re going to do? We’re going to take this private family problem … I’m going to go on the international stage and broadcast it to the world’,” he said.

Gutman later added: “If you take a daughter who’s got this emotional strife and subject her to the most intense scrutiny of the world at this time in her life, I think you’ve put your career above your family.”

Did Obama fire his staff member as he stated he would?

NO!, Instead they just made a statement:

“Obviously these comments do not reflect our frequently stated, crystal-clear view that families of the candidates should be off limits, and we hope that supporters on both sides will act accordingly,” Obama spokesman Bill Burton said in an e-mail, pointing out that Gutman has apologized in a statement to ABC News.

Add this to his lies about public financing, offshore drilling, not having any aliases, ...

The ex-wife of a man said to have had an affair with Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin tells it's "absolutely, completely false."
"I can tell you this with 1,000 percent certainty, Sarah Palin never had an affair," said Debbie Richter when reached on Friday afternoon.
The rumor that her now ex-husband, Scott Richter, had an affair with Sarah Palin gained momentum after the National Enquirer reported she had been romantically involved with one of Todd Palin's former business associates.
The John McCain-Sarah Palin campaign threatened to sue over the story.

One celebrity news tabloid claims that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin had an affair with a former business associate of Todd Palin. Seems like a bit of a stretch to us.
It would be easy to dismiss as pure tabloid trash, but this next piece of information makes the latest Palin scandal at least a little intriguing.
Turns out that the guy Palin is accused of having an affair with just filed an emergency motion to have his divorce records sealed - this week.
Meanwhile, other sources are saying that Brad Hanson is the man who the National Enquirer is going to break as Sarah's "secret affair."
Palin, the governor of Alaska and mother of five, became the first female nominated on a Republican presidential ticket last Friday.
Her life has been subject to intense scrutiny ever since - especially since on Monday, she announced her 17-year-old daughter, Bristol Palin, is five months pregnant with the child of her boyfriend, Levi Johnston.

to the "secret affair" rumor, I say bring it on. It will be exposed as yet another Democrat lie because they are afraid to confront Palin on the issues.

Do you really believe that Palin thought a 'secret affair' would not be discovered? We aren't talking about John Kerry's military records - a secret affair would obviously have a an angry spouse which would come right out and announce herself.

I think a little more proof is required before you can declare a smoking gun.

THere are those of us who believe in evolutation but don't thorougly understand it. It has its mysteries as does religion.

If we evolved from apes why are there still some apes on earth who did not evolve?

And why are there some men who did not evolve like Joseph also known as 1:47 on this blog. He is at about the level of evolution as the Neanderthal Man.

Good God almighty! There may be trouble in the Great White North. John McCain’s Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin may have had an affair with her husband’s married business partner. That’s so heinous on so many different levels. The salacious accusation was first reported by The National Enquirer, who you may remember was one hundred percent right about John Edwards’ man whoring.

According to Perez Hilton, the man in question immediately sought a court order to close his divorce records, probably the guiltiest move in the history of bonehead guilty moves.

I’ll be honest: I’ve been really impressed with Sarah Palin thus far. Sure, she lacks experience, but her frank honesty and bizarre name choices for her kids have given me something to smile about (not that I was planning to vote for her and McCain).

Personal lives have absolutely nothing to do with running the country. Thomas Jefferson was--to put it nicely--a monstrous philanderer, and I still worship the man with reverence. But would you really want to vote for some hussy who cheated on her husband with his best friend? I need a Vice President who has more in common with John Adams (minus the Alien & Sedition Acts) than Denise Richards.

No doubt about it, if true, Palin belongs on that long list of worthless beasts who had a least one out-of-wedlock affair and maybe more:Thomas Jefferson, Franklin D. Roosevelt; John F. Kennedy; Bill Clinton; Dwight D. Eisenhower; (accused: George Bush I); and John McCain; and there's talk of Abe Lincoln. But, GOD FORBID THAT A WOMAN SHOULD EVEN THINK OF SERVING HER COUNTRY AFTER SUCH AN OUTRAGE. SHE SHOULD BE STONED.

She should not only be stoned, she should be forced to wear a huge A on the front of all of her clothing, until she reaches senility.

She should have to have her head shaved; she should not be allowed to wear make-up - in fact, she should be forced to wear a veil to cover her face and wear nun's attire or burkas like some other women so she will not commit the heinous sin of making a helpless man, feel horney and who would wish to sin with her.

She should be forced to divorce her husband, and marry some he-man like Joseph who would keep her in line. If that didn't work she could then be sent to one of the polygamy settlements in TX where they know how to keep woman in their place. She's probably too old for a sex-slave postiion in one of the many function in this country.

But one thing is clear. A woman should never never never have sex except with her marriage partner. And she certainly should not hold a national office because of the dangaer that poses to the welfare of all our citizens.

Once Palin expressed her joy over her daughter's pregnancy, then the photo should stay. It is a reminder where this idiotic "only abstinenece" programs have got us into.
We are the country with the highest teen pregnancy rates in the industrialized world. The differences with the other European countries are purely shameful.Take a look at the bar charts.

It is not that in the Netherlands the teens are less active. It is that the sex ed is a daily lesson and the Catholic Church there has co-authored one of the texts used, in which of course, being the pragmatists they are, they do not advocate abstinence but caution.

There is nothing pretty about teens having kids. These kids are far more likely to drop out of school, to end up in jail, to get abused and become teen parents themselves. As for the mothers they are far more likely to drop out of highschool, get on welfare, remain single and poor and have another kid within two years of the first.

Palin, despite the realities demonstrated by these pathetic numbers says the following: "I don't care if 'abstinence only' programs eventually lead to more pregnancies, more poverty and more crime. As long as I am in accordance with my own interpretation of God's word...." (whatever that may be on the subject... and since when have we adopted theocratic characteristics?)

Guys, it has nothing to do with being Republican or Democrats. The way I see it, this has become a matter of national security because it is the driving force behing accelerated poverty and crime rates. These crime rates might hit you and me personally and gravely one day. And what will our excuse be? That we did not know?
It is always up to the people to push for change. So if this is what you want, then you will deserve what you will get. Unfortunately, I might also get what you and only you deserve.

How about each of us taking responsbility for our bodies and stop expecting others to pay for our care:
1. Women, take care of you body and who you allow "in" it; there is not guaranteed "right to pregnancy";
2. Smokers, stop'
3. Fat people -- go on a diet;
4. Diabetes - monitor your condition;
5. psychotics - get help;
6. drug addicts; alcoholics go to AA - it's free

Stop your self-destructive behavior. If you can't do it alone go to one of the countless free groups to get halp.
