Thread Name: BS: Rolling Stone on John McCain
Subject: RE: BS: Rolling Stone on John McCain
One might consider the Rolling Stone article biased, one-sided, or even negative depending upon your position on McCain. But the most important and most relevant question is whether the contents are true. I have seen many one-sided, biased, and negative articles about Obama that had no element of truth. There has been no administration in my memory before the present one that has such a disregard for truth. And the sickening aspect of the situation that it is not only the power brokers of this administration, but the grass roots followers, the real people, who have bought into the conspiracy of deception. There is also an extreme double standard. Say nothing negative about my candidate while spewing vile with little truth about the other. The present Republican party is a disgrace because it is driven by greed, power, and deception. I can only hope that those Republicans who value truth and honesty and embody the true values of the party and conservatism will somehow regain control of time honored political party.

I am not sure what McCain's definition of maverick may be, but he has supported the legislation and deregulation that is leading to economic collapse, he has supported big oil and helped to stonewall efforts to develop alternative energy, and he supported and continues to support a war of aggression which had no legitimate foundation and campaigns with the same type of deception so prevalent in his party today. For the Americans who are proud of the Bush/Cheney legacy of economic collapse, unfounded war of aggression, and dependency on petroleum, McCain is your man.
