John McCain: Dishonest and Dishonorable

What's in the Daily News?

Insults fly as Barack Obama & John McCain prepare for second debate: BY THOMAS M. DEFRANK: WASHINGTON — It's getting McNasty again. A day after Sarah Palin accused Barack Obama of "palling around with terrorists," Obama struck back Sunday with a tough ad painting John McCain as "erratic." "Our financial system is in turmoil. And John McCain? Erratic in a crisis, out of touch on the economy," charges the spot — a thinly veiled dig at McCain's age and temperament....

A top McCain adviser signaled last week that the campaign intends to "turn the page" from economic issues — which polls show have staked Obama to a significant lead — and ramp up attacks on Obama as an inexperienced ultraliberal.... McCain's course correction reflects a growing case of nerves within his high command as the electoral map has shifted significantly in Obama's favor in the past two weeks.

Mccain is a lier and do not fit to be president.He is erratic in his behavior and his choice of VP is a dissaster to our great country.Palling is a dictator ,we have to send her and her husband TOD back to Alaska .ASAP

The emperor has no clothes. McCain is naked. He has nothing to offer on the economy and knows it and is looking hard for a bush to hide behind.

I think the main thing we learn from this article is that the McCain camp thinks they can get away with insulting the Press and still tell them things they don't want quoted in private.

The article is very damaging to the McCain campaign. I think it is obvious that the person who said "turn the page" assumed that the press would uhm stay in the tire swing and treat that as a little secret for insiders.

McCain is an inspiring person. He has managed to inspire the reporters at teh Daily News to serve the cause of truth and to ally with the New York Times.

Damn maybe he should go to Iraq and tell the Shi'ites and Sunnis to cut the shit. If he can unite the Daily News and the New York Times, he can convince Iraqi Shi'ites and Sunnis that their differences are nothing compared to their loathing of John McCain.
