  • mccain and gordon liddy?

    why does mccain pal around with felons who plan to kidnap people?

    "Now a conservative radio talk-show host, Liddy spent more than 4 years in prison for his role in the 1972 Watergate burglary. That was just one element of what Liddy did, and proposed to do, in a secret White House effort to subvert the Constitution. Far from repudiating him, McCain has embraced him."

    "ast November, McCain went on his radio show. Liddy greeted him as "an old friend," and McCain sounded like one. "I'm proud of you, I'm proud of your family," he gushed. "It's always a pleasure for me to come on your program, Gordon, and congratulations on your continued success and adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great.""

    "Which principles would those be? The ones that told Liddy it was fine to break into the office of the Democratic National Committee to plant bugs and photograph documents? The ones that made him propose to kidnap anti-war activists so they couldn't disrupt the 1972 Republican National Convention? The ones that inspired him to plan the murder (never carried out) of an unfriendly newspaper columnist?"

  • why is mccain such a socialist?

    Audience member: "Why is it that someone like my father who goes to school for 13 years gets penalized in a huge tax bracket because he's a doctor."

    McCain: "I think it's to some degree because we feel obviously that wealthy people can afford more."

    Audience member: "Are we getting closer and closer to, like, socialism?"

    McCain: "Here's what I really believe: That when you reach a certain level of comfort, there's nothing wrong with paying somewhat more."

  • Why does al-qaida want...?

    ...john mccain for president?

    the associated press reports:

    "The message, posted Monday on the password-protected al-Hesbah Web site, said if al-Qaida wants to exhaust the United States militarily and economically, "impetuous" Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain is the better choice because he is more likely to continue the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    "This requires presence of an impetuous American leader such as McCain, who pledged to continue the war till the last American soldier," the message said. "Then, al-Qaida will have to support McCain in the coming elections so that he continues the failing march of his predecessor, Bush.""

  • racism no longer a factor in the election?

    “I would think of him as I would of another of mixed race,” said Glenn Reynolds, 74, a retired textile worker in Martinsdale, Va., and a former supervisor at a Goodyear plant. “God taught the children of Israel not to intermarry. You should be proud of what you are, and not intermarry.”

    “He’s neither-nor,” said Ricky Thompson, a pipe fitter who works at a factory north of Mobile, while standing in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart store just north of here. “He’s other. It’s in the Bible. Come as one. Don’t create other breeds.”

    “He’s going to tear up the rose bushes and plant a watermelon patch,” said James Halsey, chuckling, "

  • What exactly is factually incorrect in the AP fact-check article?

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080904/ap_on_el_pr/cv...

    not looking for "liberal bias" as a response. "liberal bias" does not make any of the fact checks false. and btw, associated press, one of the oldest, largest, and most well-respected wire services wrote this article. not yahoo news.

  • U.S. rejects outside probe of Canadian man's rendition to Syria?

    US refusing inspections and outside investigations into possible human rights abuses? time for invasion and regime change?

    "U.S. officials may have sent Arar to Syria, rather than Canada, because they knew of the likelihood of torture...

    Mukasey said U.S. officials received assurances from Syria that Arar would not be tortured. "Sending him to Canada could have posed a threat to our country," Mukasey said, adding that sending him to Syria was "safer."

    Maria LaHood, an attorney for the Center for Constitutional Rights in New York, which represents Arar in the United States, replied, "Sending Maher to Syria instead of home to Canada was certainly not safer for him, and did nothing to make the United States safer."...The Canadian government has cleared Arar of any links to terrorist groups, has apologized and has paid him millions of dollars in compensation. "

  • question for whites who think racism is over in america?

    would you ever give up your white skin since according to your beliefs racism is no longer a problem and you would theoretically experience no difference in how you were treated by others? (assuming such an operation were possible, etc.)

  • Why do so many veterans groups oppose McCain?

    "[McCain] received a grade of D from the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America and a 20 percent vote rating from the Disabled Veterans of America; Vietnam Veterans of America noted McCain had “voted against us” in 15 “key votes.”

    As for the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars — with whom McCain claims to have a “perfect voting record” — both groups vigorously supported Sen. Jim Webb’s (D-VA) GI Bill that McCain tirelessly opposed."

    http://thinkprogress.org/2008/07/08/mccain-veteran...

    NOTE: obama received a B+ from IAVA and 80% from Disabled Veterans of America. who's really in support of the troops and vets here?
