This happened in 2000 - if McCain were smart, he'd put out the word that he's still nailing her. Besides, I thought Bill Clinton lowered the bar on this crap forever...

I don't like him any better at all. McCain is still a socialist gun-banning, illegal-alien-loving jerk!

Does this make me like McCain more? Not really.

It could make me like the New York Times less - but that really isn't possible.

No effect, Frank. There are currently three, cheese-grated Democrats currently running, one bugeye ratfish and one gynecologist. The least evil Democrat, McCain, has to get my vote to minimize damage to the Republic.

I'm voting for the philanderer since I love Mexican food so much...

McCain still seems fine to me.

BUSH NOW WORST RATED PRESIDENT IN HISTORY OF RECORDED AMERICAN HISTORY 19% APPROVAL RATE TAKE THAT AND SUCK HARD ON IT RIGHT WING POFLECKS. AINT NO MCCAIN GONNA WIN ONLY OBAMA CAN.

Oh no PeaceNinja! I

P.S. Is your name meant to be oxymoronic?

Well, the "moronic" part is certainly self-evident....

Let is not forget that Congress has an even lower rating than the president. That would be the Nanny Pelosi, Harry Reid and Teddy Kennedy led Congress. The Democratically led Congress.

If your going to throw facts around, throw them all.

By the by ninja did you graduate from one of our fine educational establishments? Your prose is stupefying and your grammar is atrocious so I'd guess Berkley? Or perhaps Wellsley?

Question.

It is in the NYT's best interest to irritate as many people as possible because they want to sell as many papers as they can. How better to ensure circulation and purchase than to have everybody talking about their attack on (fill in the blank)? As long as they can keep everyone stirred up, they get the attention they want and need.

To me they are a non entity. I neither care nor listen to what they have to say. They could attack Jimma' Carter and I wouldn't buy their rag. They could support my candidate and I still wouldn't buy it, or care what they say. The paper is not fit to line a birds cage (cruelty to animals).

Having them support you would be like accepting a dinner invitation from Hannable Lector. Somewhere in the course of the evening there is a good chance your going to be attacked, the only variable is the timing. Some works in reverse.

I think PeaceNinja is actually "one of us." I'm thinkin' Sarcasm Man, seanmahair. The Sarc is a statistical outlier who lurks around trying to stir the cynical pot with all caps, bad grammer and a cow bell.

You can never (NEVER) have too much cowbell!

NO!
It's just the start of the truth about Qwai Chang that's coming. He is also tired to Lobbyists working for Putin's puppet surrogates in several of Russia's break away Republics. He has also beening taking money from Socialist America hater George Soros, but the New York Slimes won't expose thatjust in case Qwai Chang wins.
PeaceNinja is right, Obama will be the LAST President ever elected in this country. His election will bring on the end of the Republic and the backlash with unleah open warfare as we take out the hippie Socialist cancer currently infecting America! PeaceNinja, Be carefull what you wish for. Remember, we rightwingers have most of the firepower.

Jimmy, I could be wrong, but Peaceninja does not strike me as a reverse troll. It is too persistent without being all that clever and does not try to push any of the regulars buttons.

My bet is the garden variety sandbox pooper, cackling in their abode (down in momma's basement) and bragging to their imaginary friend 'bout how clever they are.

Concerning all of our presidential candidates, all I have to say is; where is Joe McCarthy when we need him? Socialism of course, being soft-core communism, Mr. McCarthy could clean house today. You left us too soon buddy. Way too damn soon! We could get rid of 3/4 of the Senate and 9/10 of Hollywood. I call that win, win. There would, of course, be a shortage of teachers on all levels, but we could deal with that. With tv and the internet kids practically reaise themselves.

The New York Times was for John McCain before they were against him. Not a flip flop.

Just a flop flip right James.

Here's my confusion.
Bill Clinton
John Kennedy
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Thomas Jefferson
and others who were too discrete to get caught.

Wait I know, it's only Republicans who are held to this standard, because we maintain there ought to BE standards. Sorry sometimes I forget the "Hypocaracy Rule". My bad.

hypocrisy, Sorry my fingers are still numb from the drive to school. It's been raining ice here since 4 am and will continue until it turns to snow. This would not be a problem if the area I live in had actual snow removal procedures but no after all "it's only snow or ice) In 18 years I've seen 2 snowplows one of which didn't even lower it's plow.

The New York Times is just a maverick newspaper. Mavericks are known to do this kind of thing.

McCain should know that.

The republicans bring this hypocricy on themselves by being the party of the higher moral ground. You can bag on congresses low approval rate all you want but when the republicans took over with the "Contract for America" thing what parts of their promise did they keep. Congress now gets my low approval rating for not growing a set of courage and not going after the VP.

The republicans bring this hypocricy on themselves by being the party of the higher moral ground.

At least with McCain, not really - while he says this is bull (and the article is thin), he's freely admitted in his early years banging anything that moved. The guy talks in his biography about bringing a stripper who cleaned her fingernails with a switchblade to a house party of Army wives. He's never made a claim to being a preacher or being a moral paragon.

Yes I realized it is much better to have NO standards at all then to have them and fall short. It's a really good thing most Democrats are either atheist of agnostic because no one could live up to their supposed standards. Since no one can, no one should have to live up to any standard at all.

The policy of "mediocrity". That way no one has more than any one else, excellence is despised and achievement is considered an obscenity. Welcome to the world of Barak Obama, social director on the USA Titanic.

With all the problems the Republicans seem to be having with musicians getting pissed about using their songs on the campaign trail, I wonder if the 90's band, the Gin Blossoms will let McCain use one their songs, Hey Jealousy", on his campaign with out threatening a lawsuit.

"You can trust me not to think, and not to sleep around. If you don't expect that much from me, you’ll never be let down."

Seems fit this situation and his entire campaign.

Congress now gets my low approval rating for not growing a set of courage and not going after the VP.

Well, what did you expect from the party of NO morals?

Bob,
I think that "courage referred to is surgically removed right after taking office. Nanny Nancy used a dull butter knife. The term (obscene but true ) "whipped" comes to mind. The only way to stop it is to send the current crop of castrated individuals back where they came from.

The Scorpion and the Frog

One day, a NY Times looked around at the mountain where he lived and decided that he wanted a change. So he set out on a journey through the forests and hills. He climbed over rocks and under vines and kept going until he reached a river.

The river was wide and swift, and the NY Times stopped to reconsider the situation. He couldn't see any way across. So he ran upriver and then checked downriver, all the while thinking that he might have to turn back.

Suddenly, he saw a McCain sitting in the rushes by the bank of the stream on the other side of the river. He decided to ask the McCain for help getting across the stream.

"Hellooo Mr. McCain!" called the NY Times across the water, "Would you be so kind as to give me a ride on your back across the river?"

"Well now, Mr. NY Times! How do I know that if I try to help you, you wont try to kill me?" asked the McCain hesitantly.

"Because," the NY Times replied, "If I try to kill you, then I would die too, for you see I cannot swim!"

Now this seemed to make sense to the McCain. But he asked. "What about when I get close to the bank? You could still try to kill me and get back to the shore!"

"This is true," agreed the NY Times, "But then I wouldn't be able to get to the other side of the river!"

"Alright then...how do I know you wont just wait till we get to the other side and THEN kill me?" said the McCain.

"Ahh...," crooned the NY Times, "Because you see, once you've taken me to the other side of this river, I will be so grateful for your help, that it would hardly be fair to reward you with death, now would it?!"

So the McCain agreed to take the NY Times across the river. He swam over to the bank and settled himself near the mud to pick up his passenger. The NY Times crawled onto the McCain's back, his sharp claws prickling into the McCain's soft hide, and the McCain slid into the river. The muddy water swirled around them, but the McCain stayed near the surface so the NY Times would not drown. He kicked strongly through the first half of the stream, his flippers paddling wildly against the current.

Halfway across the river, the McCain suddenly felt a sharp sting in his back and, out of the corner of his eye, saw the NY Times remove his stinger from the McCain's back. A deadening numbness began to creep into his limbs.
"You fool!" croaked the McCain, "Now we shall both die! Why on earth did you do that?"
The NY Times shrugged, and did a little jig on the drownings McCain's back.

"I could not help myself. It is my nature."

Moral: Don't trust liberals, because they are poisonous and can't see their actions lead to self-destruction.

hypocrisy, Sorry my fingers are still numb from the drive to school. It's been raining ice here since 4 am and will continue until it turns to snow. This would not be a problem if the area I live in had actual snow removal procedures but no after all "it's only snow or ice) In 18 years I've seen 2 snowplows one of which didn't even lower it's plow.

You must live in Montana. The only time I saw a snowplow this winter, it almost ran me off the road.

Well, I've always been a fan of people who really like to get the liberal media ramped up like this.

I'm voting for the philanderer since I love Mexican food so much...

#5 - Posted by: RedWhiteAndTrue on February 20, 2008 11:17 PM

Isn't philanderer a type of fish? Like Alaskan philanderer, or something?

Does anyone know who engineered Mac's comeback? I haven't put those pieces together yet, but I suspect that there was a deal cut. Lousy Devil!
I used to refer to visiting the crapper as making a contribution to the McCain campaign. Now, I just wave goodbye to the GOP. BLC #14 could be right, about the impending backlash and warfare. Sign me up, I wore the uniform for over 11 years. I'll answer the call to arms to salvage what is left. (sorry, I meant "right")
Oh well, Semper Flies

No Tim not even close. Here in fly over county they're too busy fighting about whether a business can decide to allow smoking on it's premises and whether if a 8 month pregnant woman goes into a clinic and comes out not pregnant anymore does that mean she's had a late term abortion, to worry about a little thing like safe roads and dangerous conditions.

One must have priorities.

Just in case anyone missed the point, if you own a business you should get to say what goes on there. I don't like smoking but that's a personal decision (at least in this case- one doesn't have to patronize said business.) As far as the clinic is concerned the only way I know to stop being pregnant at 8 months is to have a "late term" abortion, which is supposed to be illegal.

The politicans in my area should be hit over and over with big bags of DUH.

ZOMG the vast liberal media conspiracy attacks!!!1!

Excuse me but isn't it Situation Normal All Fouled Up. The media's been liberal for a really long time, why would we panic now.

I can see how some people might not like McCain for the immigration reform he proposed, to a point (which was many months ago).

I don't see how you can accuse him of wanting to "ban guns". Example please?

World News with Charles Gibson

Feb. 21, 2008
With the campaign of presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain, D-Ariz., on the defensive over a New York Times story that calls out the candidate's reputed past relationship with a lobbyist, questions are flying about the newspaper's timing.

When did McCain offically become a Democrat

#32 The near record winter from globull warming has strapped governments is all. That is why roads are not being taken care of anymore this season. Must be true, read it in the paper tonight.

#1 Yeah, I thought being like Bill C. was cool. Besides, Johnny Mac was just insuring his future wife ( at that time) could become senator, and one day run for prez. How did he know? A terminator came back in time to tell him, it screwed up when it was trying to go further into the future to avoid Fred.

Love the frog and scorpion story. It fits not just this but just about every level.
