The Worst You Can Say About: John McCain

At this point, I really don't know who I will vote for in the national election. I am not happy about any of them. I do admire John McCain for his service to his coountry and all that he had gone through after being shot down. As time passes, I will definitely get a clearer picture.

Hooray for Jay Albritton!
At last something fair from aol political machine!
Please continue to do this for all the candidates.

PS, but do Ron Paul too. Nobody has been treated less fairly.

The Democrats will bash McCain because it's the only way they can compete against him. Niether Hillary or Obama can challenge McCain's experience. He unlike them has served in the military and he has more experience in both houses of Congress than Hillary and Obama combined. Neither Hillary or Obama can show much of a track record for leadership or working for compromise with the opposition party. Obama and Hillary can't touch McCain's foreign policy experience. So, what's left? Make stuff up and attack his wife. Niether Hillary or Obama can compete with McCain on the issues, experience, character or on leadership. Expect a nasty general election. Nastier if Hillary gets the nomination.

McCain is not an honest man. He supported the war, he wants to continue it for 100 more years. The only good thing he ever did with respect to the war was stand against torture, but recently, he voted in favor of torture just so that he will be accepted as a conservative. I was considering voting for him because of his positions on certain issue but now, I think that he has no positions. He is a flip-flopper. His position now is the position of conservatives. He has nothing to offer. He is not real. Therefore, I am not voting come November.

You should also know that the McCains have two sons in the US Military. One son is at The United States Naval academy and the other is enlisted Marine.

confirming my comment

I have seen McCain's performance in the Senate on TV and have heard his positions on issues on torture and wars and find them credible. I bellieve his experiences will help him become a good president.

The A to Z Guide of Clinton Scandals

Whitewatergate, Travelgate, Cattlegate and now Indonesiagate . . . there seems to be more gates in the Clinton White House than on the barns of America.

So just in case you've lost track of the scandals that have hit this current White House, The Post's Deborah Orin and Thomas Galvin have pieced together your cut-out-and-keep A to Z guide of Clinton scandals . . from Arkansas to Zippers.

A is for Arkansas, where Bill Clinton got his political start, where Hillary Rodham Clinton worked at Rose Law Firm, and where Whitewater began as a land deal between the Clintons and Jim and Susan McDougal.

B is for Billing-gate, Hillary Clinton's missing law-billing records. Those records -- which raised questions about Mrs. Clinton's role in the Castle Grande deal -- were subpoenaed in 1994. They were missing until early 1996, when they turned up in a White House room next to her office. She says she doesn't know how they got there.

C is for Cattlegate, Hillary Clinton's mysterious ability to turn a $1,000 investment into a $100,000 profit on cattle futures, a feat experts say was virtually impossible in normal trading.

C is also for Castle Grande, a real-estate scheme that federal regulators say was a sham. A federal inspector general's report found Hillary Clinton drew up the legal papers that were used to improperly funnel hundreds of thousands of dollars to Seth Ward, father-in-law of her ex-law partner Webster Hubbell.

D is for Billy Dale, the career head of the White House Travel Office, who was fired along with six other career staffers, to make way for Clinton cronies in Travelgate. The White House then brought in the FBI to justify the firing, and Dale was hit with criminal charges that wrecked his life for two years. A jury cleared him in just two hours.

E is for Mike Espy, the former agriculture secretary who was forced out over charges that he got gifts and favors from Arkansas-based Tyson foods, whose owners were longtime Clinton backers. A special counsel has brought several indictments, though not against Espy.

F is for Filegate, the improper White House rummaging through 900 FBI files on Republican officials in the Bush and Reagan administration. The White House says it was an innocent snafu. Republicans suspect an enemies list. Whitewater independent counsel Ken Starr and several congressional committees are probing.

G is for Golfgate, ex-White House aide David Watkins' improper use of presidential helicopters for a personal golf outing. He was forced to resign. In the 1992 presidential campaign, Clinton aides tried to use taxpayer funds to help settle a sexual harassment case filed by a fellow campaign worker against Watkins.

H is for Hillary Clinton, whose role has been questioned in Filegate, Travelgate, Billing-gate, Whitewater and Castle Grande. She denies any wrongdoing.

H is also for Hubbell, in jail after pleading guilty to bilking law clients on charges brought by Whitewater independent counsel Starr. Hubbell was previously the associate attorney general, the No. 3 Justice Department office.

I is for Indonesiagate, featuring the Lippo group, a firm with long-standing ties to Bill Clinton, Clinton cronies and Arkansas. Republicans want to know why an Indonesian couple -- of apparently modest means -- with ties to Lippo gave $452,000 to the Democratic National Committee and what the firm may have gotten in return. Lippo also hired Hubbell, at a reported fee of $250,000, for the five months when he left the White House and went to jail.

J is for Paula Jones, who accuses President Clinton of sexual harassment, saying he dropped his pants and asked for oral sex in an Arkansas hotel room while he was governor and she was a state employee. The U.S. Supreme Court will rule this fall on whether her case must wait until after Clinton leaves office, as he demands.

K is for William Kennedy, another ex-Hillary Clinton law partner who became a White House lawyer and was forced to resign after concealing his failure to pay nanny taxes. He was reprimanded for his role in Travelgate.

L is for Craig Livingstone, the ex-bar bouncer with a history of drug use who was the head of White House security. Two FBI agents say it was Hillary Clinton who demanded his hiring, which she denies. Disgraced Clinton political guru Dick Morris's hooker pal, Sherry Rowlands, claims Morris told her a "paranoid" Hillary Clinton was behind Filegate. He says he only told her that's what polls show.

M is for Jim and Susan McDougal, the Clintons' Whitewater partners, both of whom have been convicted of fraud. Jim McDougal is said to be helping Whitewater independent counsel Starr. Susan McDougal is in jail for refusing to say whether President Clinton lied when he denied knowing about an illegal $300,000 loan to bail out Whitewater. The loan wasn't repaid, and taxpayers were left holding the bag.

M is also for disgraced political guru Dick Morris.

N is for Bernard Nussbaum, the former White House lawyer who barred federal investigators from searching Vince Foster's office after Foster's death. Nussbaum also withheld Foster's diary on Travelgate problems from federal probers for more than a year. Nussbaum was forced to resign for botching damage-control efforts.

O is for Energy Secretary Hazel O'Leary, the frequent flier who drew up an enemies list of reporters, hired an image consultant at taxpayer expense, and has run up huge tabs on overseas trips.

P is for Pardons, which President Clinton has refused to rule out for individuals like Susan McDougal who potentially could provide evidence against him.

P is also for White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta, expected to leave in a second Clinton term -- with the prospect that his deputy, Harold Ickes, could replaces him. Senate Republicans want perjury charges brought against Ickes for his answers on Whitewater damage control.

Q is for all the questions -- unanswered -- on Whitewater, Filegate, Travelgate, Cattlegate and Billgate.

R is for Sherry Rowlands, the $200-an-hour hooker who revealed her ongoing affair with Clinton political guru Dick Morris, the author of Clinton's family-values strategy, forcing Morris to resign.

R is also for the Rose Law Firm, where Hillary Clinton, Vince Foster, Webster Hubbell and William Kennedy were partners, as was Joseph Giroir, a key figure in the Lippo group.

S is for Kenneth Starr, the Whitewater independent counsel probing Filegate, Travelgate and Vince Foster's death. He has won 15 convictions or guilty pleas, including both McDougals and former Arkansas Gov. Jim Guy Tucker, who was forced to resign. Starr says his probes are active and ongoing, and there is widespread speculation he will have more indictments after the election, possibly including one of Hillary Clinton.

T is for Travelgate, the Clintons' firing of career travel staffers like Billy Dale to make way for Clinton cronies. White House memos say Hillary Clinton was behind the firings -- she denies it -- and that she was spurred on by Clinton Hollywood pal Harry Thomason, who was seeking a piece of the lucrative White House charter business.

U is for undue influence and the question of whether that is what Lippo was seeking though megabucks contributions to Democrats. Lippo has close ties to Indonesia's brutal dictatorship, responsible for near-genocide in East Timor, which it occupied two decades ago.

V is for Vince Foster, the former Hillary Clinton law partner who became a White House lawyer and was found dead, an apparent suicide with a gunshot wound to the head. He apparently was a central figure in Travelgate and Filegate and handled Whitewater matters for the Clintons. Starr is examining his death and has yet to confirm former prober Bob Fiske's conclusion that it was a suicide in the park where Foster was found.

W is for Whitewater, the Arkansas land deal that started it all, with questions about whether the Clintons improperly benefitted from funds Jim McDougal's Madison Guarantee savings-and-loan, which went belly up, costing taxpayers an estimated $60 million.

X is for the Xeroxed copy of Hillary Clinton's law billing records that were found in the white House book room, two years after they were first sought. The pages had Mrs. Clinton's fingerprints around the section on Castle Grande - there were red ink notations in the late Vince Foster's handwriting.

Y is for the the young White House aides who were hired by the Clinton administration despite FBI background checks that found "recent" use of hard drugs like cocaine, crack and hallucinogens.

Z is for zippers -- the one Paula Jones claims that the then-Arkansas governor undid (see J) and the one Gennifer Flowers claims Clinton undid during what she insists was a long-running affair. He denies the claims.

How about, he believes in appointing a judge to the Supreme Court who is attuned to the credos of Alito, Scalia, Thomas and the Chief Judge; that will mean the end of a woman's Constitutionally protected reproductive rights.

McCain is quickly becoming the dirty old man. Dirty as in low-grade tactics to turn the campaign and major issues against his own short comings. McCain we know you are a hero and that you can’t scratch your ears because of your abuse as a POW. We know you lead “not for profit but for patriotism.” We know, we know. Ask the Soviets during their Great War and they would have agreed that Stalin was the Greatest Hero.

“My friend” you don’t get a free license to lie and trick your way to the top. Who do you think we are? Powerless twits against bald-faced lies because of your record? I’ve watched time and again people avoid you and coward down from you during debates. Afraid of angering the establishment by jarring your halo.

You’ve gotten a free pass for far too long and it looks like you have harped on the whole war record and national security issue one too many times. I think you will soon discover that the people are a little more sophisticated than you give them credit for.

You are showing your desperation by shamelessly smearing and outright lying on Romney’s behalf. And when you were confronted, you said that it was Romney who should apologize and that he should do so to the troops. Who made you Caesar, you crazy old man?

Of course there are reports of your own timetables. You know the one you supported last year that stated if certain benchmarks were not met by an agreed upon date then troops would need to be pulled out before success. I hope you are forced to answer this soon.

I hope all you McCain supporters and those without a candidate pick up on these acts of a desperate and out classed man. The “warrior/politician” shamelessly used the troops as fodder and leverage. It’s time he is exposed for what he is — a bad idea with disastrous consequences.

I wish that such efforts were being made on Obama as well, he is a possible danger to America.He has not denounced his membership in the Musilm religon, and was as a child a member, had until age 13 to denounce it, but no record of it is found.It is not only a religon, but a cult to destroy free people. Maybe you think he has joined a christian group to show that he is one of us. Make no mistake they will do anything to get in high places, lie cheat and do what it takes.
I think it would be a loud expression if the vote in Nov. was left blank.

I was a resident of AZ when the "alleged" smears were made about Senator McCain's parenting, his adoptions,his wife, etc. I heard those "alleged" smears and never once did I hear a rebuttal from Senator McCain. Dead-bang guarantee that if somebody besmerched the good name of my spouse, my children, myself, I'd have some sort of remark to set that record straight. Otherwise, the rest of us get to believe the "alleged" remarks as true. Also, it sure says something that his state, Arizona, voted for anybody else other then McCain for the next president !

Florence, you seriously need a life, dear. Your obsession with the Clinton's must be an all consumimg project for you. You need to get out more. I won't even begin to address some of the lying garbage in that rant of yours. It speaks volumes about you more than the Clinton's.

As former resident of Arizona, much respect for John McCain was lost when wife, Cindy, confessed to over a hundred felonies as she admitted to stealing drugs from her own charity and faking prescriptions. There are many individuals across this land that are in prison for less. I can see why she has always been so "proud" of her country--it has served her well.

McCain is a foul mouth short temper man. Do we want a person like that in the whitehouse. The oval Office needs a calm and cool headed person.

Someone in the European Press commented that McCain is America's Ghaddafi. I agree.

McCain did have bech marks and as General Petreas has stated much progress has been made. Too bad the media doesn't feel it needs to report inconvienient truths.
A 100years in Iraq, well maybe, the US has bases all over, especially in countries we either protect or have been at war with. READ
As for water boarding it's most unpleasant but you don't actually drown. What the enemy has done to it's opposition makes WB look like a franterinty prank.
Cindy's actions were wrong as has been the behavior of both clintons. Their combind "gates" are numerous.
BO is more of a ranting preacher than Huckabee ever had a notion to be. His churches and his allegence to Africa is offensive and suspect. RAH RAH RAH Change. Change WHAT exactly and HOW? What is your implimentation plan? Your working off a blank map and your cult follows you like lemmings.

Florence
Maybe no one else will tell you so I will shut up and stop that dam post nobody wants to read it anymore

David Huston, I did not know this where did you get that info I would like to see it myself, Thank you

tjuan01 and star

You are both absolutely CORRECT in who McCain is. So he was in the war? So were too many others. That doesn't make him Presidential material. I am dreading the fact he might win, allowing illegals that we are already overloaded with. Plus left his wife after an accident? and the new one is on drugs of sorts.Just what I read, and I know NOT all is true, but in this case, a man wanting to be President? HOW can anyone trust him, or anything he says?
I PRAY DAILY that he doesn't win. And I also bet Political Machine will ban this message as they do most of mine.
