Oprah Denies Shutting Out Palin

Does the GOP, want more facts about your POW:

McCain's Voting Record: He Does Not Support Our Troops and Veterans

This is chock full of links to the roll call votes, and the roll call votes have links to the actual underlying bills and amendments. I present this so that there is support and things that can be rattled off when saying that McCain is not a friend of the military. Feel free to use it as you want, but this can be tied into the "Double Talk Express". But here is a very quick statement - John McCain skipped close to a dozen votes on Iraq, and on at least another 10 occasions, he voted against arming and equipping the troops, providing adequate rest for the troops between deployments and for health care or other benefits for veterans.

In mid 2007, Senator Reid noted that McCain missed 10 of the past 14 votes on Iraq. However, here is a summary of a dozen votes (two that he missed and ten that he voted against) with respect to Iraq, funding for veterans or for troops, including equipment and armor. I have also included other snippets related to the time period when the vote occurred.

September 2007: McCain voted against the Webb amendment calling for adequate troop rest between deployments. At the time, nearly 65% of people polled in a CNN poll indicted that "things are going either moderately badly or very badly in Iraq.

July 2007: McCain voted against a plan to drawdown troop levels in Iraq. At the time, an ABC poll found that 63% thought the invasion was not worth it, and a CBS News poll found that 72% of respondents wanted troops out within 2 years.

March 2007: McCain was too busy to vote on a bill that would require the start of a drawdown in troop levels within 120 days with a goal of withdrawing nearly all combat troops within one year. Around this time, an NBC News poll found that 55% of respondents indicated that the US goal of achieving victory in Iraq is not possible. This number has not moved significantly since then.

February 2007: For such a strong supporter of the escalation, McCain didn’t even bother to show up and vote against a resolution condemning it. However, at the time a CNN poll found that only 16% of respondents wanted to send more troops to Iraq (that number has since declined to around 10%), while 60% said that some or all should be withdrawn. This number has since gone up to around 70%.

June 2006: McCain voted against a resolution that Bush start withdrawing troops but with no timeline to do so.

May 2006: McCain voted against an amendment that would provide $20 million to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for health care facilities.

April 2006: McCain was one of only 13 Senators to vote against $430,000,000 for the Department of Veteran Affairs for Medical Services for outpatient care and treatment for veterans.

March 2006: McCain voted against increasing Veterans medical services funding by $1.5 billion in FY 2007 to be paid for by closing corporate tax loopholes.

March 2004: McCain once again voted for abusive tax loopholes over veterans when he voted against creating a reserve fund to allow for an increase in Veterans' medical care by $1.8 billion by eliminating abusive tax loopholes. Jeez, McCain really loves those tax loopholes for corporations, since he voted for them over our veterans' needs.

October 2003: McCain voted to table an amendment by Senator Dodd that called for an additional $322,000,000 for safety equipment for United States forces in Iraq and to reduce the amount provided for reconstruction in Iraq by $322,000,000.

April 2003: McCain urged other Senate members to table a vote (which never passed) to provide more than $1 billion for National Guard and Reserve equipment in Iraq related to a shortage of helmets, tents, bullet-proof inserts, and tactical vests.

August 2001: McCain voted against increasing the amount available for medical care for veterans by $650,000,000. To his credit, he also voted against the 2001 Bush tax cuts, which he now supports making permanent, despite the dire financial condition this country is in, and despite the fact that he indicated in 2001 that these tax cuts unfairly benefited the very wealthy at the expense of the middle class.

So there it is. John McCain is yet another republican former military veteran who likes to talk a big game when it comes to having the support of the military. Yet, time and time again, he has gone out of his way to vote against the needs of those who are serving in our military. If he can’t even see his way to actually doing what the troops want, or what the veterans need, and he doesn’t have the support of veterans, then how can he be a credible commander in chief?

CNN, MSNBC, the big 3 networks, Oprah, King have all crapped in their collective hat. After the stilted biased reporting I don't think any of the left media will get the number 1 interview of the 21st century: Sarah Palin. But I betcha Fox scores all the good interview. Fox (Bill O'Reilly) even got Obama to admit the surge worked!

Surfchik is so right.All of the media is so on Obamas jock it's not funny.He is their chosen "It Boy".But we'll see come November who the people really want to occupy the White House.Fox is the only true balanced netowork left.

Would "O" say "NO" to BO or his soulmate MO??? I don't think so...
A powerful,smart white woman didn't attend church & pray to the good old Rev Wright with the all the O's Making her unworthy of the Oprah ego TV show.
Too bad. Guess we'll have to watch Glen Beck.

I haven't watched Oprah Winfrey for at least 8 months, don't think I will ever watch her show again her ratings are down 7% and her magazine is down 10 % in the last three years.

Oprah should have known she would alienate a portion of her audience and she did.
She made all the money she needs so thats no longer an issue, so screw the audience.

I watch talk shows for entertainment value not to hear anyones political stance, she would not have ventured into the Political Arena had she just been starting out on TV, but since she has more money then most countries she doesn't care anymore. The audience is no longer needed.

Her roots seem to be as strong as nobamas. He is a muslim as far as Im concerned. You can take the boy out of the country, but you cant take the country out of the boy.....

How on earth is this woman, Sarah Palin qualified for public office and she can't do an interview until she is "up to it?" I love John McCain's determination to end pork barrel spendding , and name names, when his running mate is being investigated for this very action. HMMMMMMM

We all know that Oprabama is all talk and no content.

Remember the thousand dollar check that Oprabama was promising you?

Is your vote for sale?

OPRAH IS AN A$$ AND I CAN NOT STAND HER BECAUSE SHE NEVER SUPPORTED A CANDIDATE UNTIL THERE WAS A BLACK ONE, I AM LOOKING TO THE FUTURE OF OUT WITH THE OLD (OPRAH) AND IN WITH THE NEW TYRA BANKS, WHO BY THE WAY HAS HAD ALL THE CANDIDATES ON HER SHOW BECAUSE SHE IS NOT A RACIST LIKE OPRAH WHO CONTINUES TO BRING UP THE SINS OF THE FATHERS, I THINK SHE IS FOOLISH IN SHUTTING OUT SARAH PALIN, I MEAN HER MAG SALES ARE WAY DOWN AND HER SHOW IS ABOUT TO OUT GROW ITS NEED AND SHE REALLY LOOSES MORE FOLLOWERS DAILY WITH HER NOSE IN THE AIR SO GOODBY MISS WINFREY WHO BY THE WAY HAD A PREGNANCY AS A TEEN! JUST LIKE PALINS DAUGHTER IMAGINE THAT!

Hey GAS, you must be full of it in the brain. Where have you been all the times it has been written that Obama would answer present, but would never vote on the issues?

Speaking of celebrities getting into the political arena did you hear David Letterman the other night questioning (to Dr. Phil no less) as to why Sarah Palin did not have the "sex" talk with her daughter so she would not get pregnant!!

is this the SAME "ADULT" man David Letterman who also had a child without benefit (some say) of marriage and correct me if I'm wrong still isn't married?

What a hypocrite!!!!
David Letterman owes that teenage girl and her mother Sarah Palin an apology!!

David Letterman is a hypocrite!!! another show off MY list!!!

Oprah is already in big trouble with her ratings once the public learned she is supporting a racist, sexist bigot. She is right to try and steer clear of politics, it could destroy her/

Of course, she might offend her viewers who are mostly white women. We all know she only vote for Obama because of the race thing.

No question about it. GAS is a liar.
A paid editor of lies.

Why do we keep hearing Obamma should have picked Hillary as his running mate.
He would have died to get her.
Hillary was not running for VP. and would certainly not have run as Obammas canidate.
Get over it The Dems gave up the election to make history and satisfy Hollywwod and most media.
The media has as low a rateing as Congress.

I scratched Oprah months ago, now Letterman goes under the bus followed by all of the AOL lib writers. I will no longer bother reading any of your garbage.

hey you fat bastard who the hell do you think you are ? were the ones who made you rich you fat bastards. leave sarah alone you fat bastard. we hate you in n.c.

Fat ass dog...who are you anyway God? I hope she never goes on your racist show!! I pray she tells you to stick it where the sun don't shine!!

Oprah is threatened by other women who might be or might become more powerful than she is.

After all, look what she did to poor Hillary Clinton. Talk about a knife in the back! What a backstabber.

Its why her ratings fell so sharply, the most ever in her history - 16%.

Oprah is just awful.

They have to coach her on the right things to say so they cover their stories for the truth.

Not all females, including me - conservative republican voter voting democratic for first time are falling for what GOP is doing.
