What We've Learned About McCain

By David S. Broder
Thursday, October 30, 2008; Page A23

As we near the end of another presidential campaign, it is useful to ask ourselves what we have learned about the candidates that we did not know before. When you reflect back on all the rallies, the speeches, the ads and the debates, what insights have you gained about their goals, their methods, their characters? I will turn to Barack Obama next, but today's subject is John McCain.

We knew a great deal about him from the past. We knew that he was a product of the military elite, the son and grandson of admirals, imbued with the patriotic impulses and the sense of duty to country that is his family tradition. We also knew that he had the capacity and willpower to endure and resist the terrible abuse he suffered in a North Vietnamese prison camp.

We knew that he had the backbone to set his own course -- a rebel defying authority -- and that he carried that trait into politics, often challenging the leaders of his party and the wishes of his fellow Republicans. We also knew that he had a temper, redeemed by a self-mocking sense of humor, and we knew that he had a capacity for building genuine friendships across party lines.

We suspected, and soon had confirmed, that he had limited interest in, and capacity for, the organization and management of large enterprises. His first effort at building a structure for the 2008 presidential race collapsed in near-bankruptcy, costing him the service of many longtime aides. From beginning to end, the campaign that followed has been plagued by internal feuds and McCain's inability to resolve them.

The shortcoming was intellectual as well as bureaucratic. Like Jimmy Carter, the only Naval Academy graduate to reach the Oval Office, McCain had an engineer's approach to policymaking. He had no large principles that he could apply to specific problems; each fresh question set off a search for a "practical" solution. He instinctively looked back to Theodore Roosevelt and the Progressive era, with its high-mindedness and disdain for the politics of doling out favors to interest groups. But those instincts coexisted uneasily with his adherence to traditional, Reagan-era conservatism -- a muscular foreign policy, a penchant for tax-cutting and a fondness for business.

McCain was handed a terrible political environment by the outgoing Bush administration -- a legacy of war, debt and scandal that would have defeated any of the other aspirants for the nomination. But because McCain could not create a coherent philosophy or vision of his own, he allowed Obama and the Democrats to convince voters of a falsehood: that electing McCain would in effect reward Bush with a third term.

A similar ambivalence clouded his relationship with the Republican Party. Neither rebel nor defender of the party's doctrines, he won its nomination because of smart tactics and lucky circumstances in three primaries -- New Hampshire, South Carolina and Florida -- without ever establishing himself as its legitimate spokesman.

His vice presidential choice, his best opportunity to put his stamp on the future, was made, typically, more on instinct than careful appraisal. McCain saw Sarah Palin as reinforcing his own reformist credentials. The convention embraced her, not as a reformer but as the embodiment of beliefs precious to the religious right. And the mass of voters questioned her credentials for national leadership.

The campaign has been costly in terms of McCain's reputation. He has been condemned for small-minded partisanship, not praised for his generous and important suggestion that the major-party candidates stump the country together, conducting weekly joint town hall meetings -- an innovation Obama turned down.

The frustration for McCain and his closest associates is their belief that he is ready to practice the kind of post-partisan politics the country wants -- and which they believe Obama only talks about.

Should McCain win the election, it will demonstrate even more vividly than the earlier episodes in his life the survival instincts and capacity for overcoming the odds of this remarkably engaging man. And the country will have to hope this campaign has honed his leadership skills.

McCain Communications Director Gave Reporters Incendiary Version Of "Carved B" Story Before Facts Were Known
By Greg Sargent - October 24, 2008, 5:12PM

John McCain's Pennsylvania communications director told reporters in the state an incendiary version of the hoax story about the attack on a McCain volunteer well before the facts of the case were known or established -- and even told reporters outright that the "B" carved into the victim's cheek stood for "Barack," according to multiple sources familiar with the discussions.

John Verrilli, the news director for KDKA in Pittsburgh, told TPM Election Central that McCain's Pennsylvania campaign communications director gave one of his reporters a detailed version of the attack that included a claim that the alleged attacker said, "You're with the McCain campaign? I'm going to teach you a lesson."

Verrilli also told TPM that the McCain spokesperson had claimed that the "B" stood for Barack. According to Verrilli, the spokesperson also told KDKA that Sarah Palin had called the victim of the alleged attack, who has since admitted the story was a hoax.

The KDKA reporter had called McCain's campaign office for details after seeing the story -- sans details -- teased on Drudge.

The McCain spokesperson's claims -- which came in the midst of extraordinary and heated conversations late yesterday between the McCain campaign, local TV stations, and the Obama camp, as the early version of the story rocketed around the political world -- is significant because it reveals a McCain official pushing a version of the story that was far more explosive than the available or confirmed facts permitted at the time.

The claims to KDKA from the McCain campaign were included in an early story that ran late yesterday on KDKA's Web site. The paragraphs containing these assertions were quickly removed from the story after the Obama campaign privately complained that KDKA was letting the McCain campaign spin a racially-charged version of the story before the facts had been established, according to two sources familiar with the discussions.

The story with the removed grafs is still right here. We preserved the three missing grafs from yesterday:


A source familiar with what happened yesterday confirmed that the unnamed spokesperson was communications director Peter Feldman. Feldman was also quoted yesterday making virtually identical assertions on the Web site of another local TV station, WPXI. But those quotes, which we also preserved here, are also no longer available on WPXI's site, for reasons that are unclear.

"John McCain insisted Sunday that he is making a comeback and will defeat Democrat Barack Obama, discounting the Illinois senator's lead in most national and key state polls.
As McCain fought to hold Republican-leaning states, Obama was focused on what should be his opponent's turf, spending the remaining nine days of the campaign mostly in states that President George W. Bush won four years ago.

Obama concluded a swing through the West with two rallies in Colorado, one of three states in the region _ including Nevada and New Mexico _ that are hotly contested even though McCain should have a natural advantage. He has represented neighboring Arizona in the Senate for nearly a quarter century.

Obama drew a crowd of more than 100,000 in Denver, the Colorado state capital.

"Goodness gracious," Obama said as he took the stage and peered at the human mass in Civic Center Park. People were packed in all the way up the steps of the Capitol, off in the distance.

Obama seized on McCain's statement earlier Sunday that he and Bush _ as fellow Republicans _ shared some aspects of economic philosophy.

"For eight years, we've seen the Bush-McCain philosophy put our country on the wrong track," Obama said, "and we cannot have another four years that look just like the last eight. It's time for change in Washington, and that's why I'm running for President of the United States."

He added, "We know what the Bush-McCain philosophy looks like. It's a philosophy that says we should give more and more to millionaires and billionaires and hope that it trickles down."..." (Taiwan News)

I don't think postulating a comeback is enough to make it happen.

Mr. Hypocrite (AKA the CEO of Smears R Us)--"Rig"

Poor boy (you wouldn't understand Pobrecito--it's Spanish and therefore makes you blow your top--since, as I said, the main thing driving you is your hate and fear of Mexican immigrants.)   That's why you never were a real Hillary voter---since, as I said, she is in favor of a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants.

You would never have voted for her in the general election against any Republican--for the reason I cited.

Nor do you care about the war in Iraq---or indeed anything but your hate and fear of Mexicans--and blacks, it appears.



Your hypocrisy is on brilliant display particularly when you defend Palin.

Gee, I remember you whining pathetically for years about the "evils" of organized religion. But though Palin does believe in the "end times"---and you might want to consider :Palin will be putting you in the "left behind"--your hypocrisy is such that you ignore this--and the fact that, as I said, McCain- appointed judges will be industriously tearing down the alleged wall between church and state.

All your piteous moaning about religion was just so much hot air, it's plain to see.


It has no chance against the driving force in your mind--your strong prejudice against all Mexican immigrants---which is why you are fine with McCain now that he has pushed a path to citizenship for illegals far into the next century--if then.

It actually sounds like you are in fact the perfect racist--since black people seem to bother you too--especially if they're "uppity" enough to actually have some power--and be public figures. (Unless they're dead--like MLK).

As I said, not only does silence consent, it's obvious my theory about your motivation is totally true---you can't contradict it, since you know it is.

And no matter how much people try to reason with you, you ignore anything but your own prejudices.

And your postings--for years--back it up completely.

I'd be glad to cite chapter and verse from your collected works if you care to dispute this.

That pales beside McCain (aka the Weathervane) and his flip-flops

1) immigration--now he says he'd vote against the bill he co-sponsored. Pandering to know-nothings like your good self?   Perish the thought.

2) just recently the "bail-out".   He was all over the map--trying desperately to figure out which way the wind was blowing.

3) tax cuts--against the 2003 tax cuts. Now tax cuts are the cat's meow.

4) Like the other candidates, praising GWB to the skies in the Republican debates. Now slashing GWB's record to shreds--since he's figured out that's necessary to get independent votes.



Etc.


And since we're on the subject, let's examine your own views.

1)   You were allegedly for Hillary. Yet though Obama's views and Hillary's dovetail almost completely, you are now still attacking Obama at every turn. Even though Hillary herself points this out constantly , you pay no attention.

Conclusion: you were never a real Hillary voter. In the general election you would never have voted for her-since she was in favor of a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants.

You were just favoring her since she was the main opposition to Obama.

2)   You claim to be against organized religion. Yet you defend the only fundamentalist--Palin. And are stupidly oblivious to the threat McCain appointees will be to the church/state divide you supposedly favor.


Hence my affectionate term for you--Mr. Hypocrite


If I had to guess, I'd say that actually the reason you attack Obama--and by doing so, support McCain, since the only way to keep him out is to vote for Obama--is that you are stuffed full of prejudice.

Especially your hate and fear of Mexican immigrants dominates your thinking. Now that McCain, as I note, no longer favors a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, that makes him fine with you. You jettison any supposed other beliefs--like separation of church and state.

It's also interesting that the only black man you speak highly of is safely dead. Any live black public figure is a threat to you, and will not get your support.

And you conveniently ignore the fact that Obama himself has said his own daughters should not benefit from affirmative action programs--these programs should be at least partially economics-based, not just race-based.

The above is of course just a theory. You are welcome to try to rebut it--but your postings support it down the line.

McCain's largest problem was he was in the public spotlight for a long, long period of time. What he has going for him is, he changed his mind on various issues over a long period of time, and the circumstances changed dramatically.

                     Obama, on the other hand, changes his mind every time the wind changes direction, or he sees a political advantage for himself personally. He doesn't change his mind to the benefit of his constituents.

Flip flopping means little to me and in fact can show a deliberate thoughtfullness and ability to change ones mind when new evidence comes to bear.

torture - gave in to Bush torture bill.
abortion
immigration - for it then against his own bill.
social security
Bush permanent rich tax cuts
gay marriage
campaign finance
off shore drilling
surge troops in Afghanistan

Campaign Volunteer Faces Charges In Attack Hoax

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ― A campaign worker who claimed she was the victim of a politically-motivated attack in which she was beaten, kicked and cut, now admits that she made the whole story up.

According to Pittsburgh police spokeswoman Diane Richard, Ashley Todd, 20, told investigators today that she "was not robbed and there was no 6'4" black male attacker."

Todd initially told police that she was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield Wednesday night and that the suspect began beating her after seeing a John McCain bumper sticker on her car.

Todd claimed that the mugger even cut a backwards letter "B" in her check.

But today investigators say Todd confessed that the attack never happened.

At a news conference this afternoon, officials said they believe that Todd's injuries were self-inflicted.

Police investigating the report said Todd's story began to unravel early on and they administered a polygraph test.

Investigators asked Todd to return to the police station today for more questioning and to help them release a composite sketch of the suspect.

When she did, police say she admitted that she made the whole thing up and that it snowballed out of control.

Todd told investigators today that she "just wanted to tell the truth" – adding that she was neither robbed, nor attacked.

"She indicated that she has prior mental problems and that she does not remember how the backward letter B got on her face," Richard told reporters today.

Todd told police that while she did not remember how the backward "B" got on her face, she may have done it herself since she was the only one in the car.

According to police, Todd said she thought of Barack Obama when she saw the "B" in her rearview mirror.

Officials say they do not believe any other people were involved; and Todd's friends believed the story about the attack – encouraging her to call police.

Todd is now facing charge for filing a false police report.

As of late this afternoon, Todd was still in custody under observation.

Are we going to see apologies from all of the McCain supporters who tried to use this story as a way to smear Obama supporters, and Obama himself? (And there are plenty who tried to do this.)

It looks more like the person claiming she was mutilated by an Obama supporter is more indicative of what McCain supporters are like than what Obama supporters are like. As soon as I saw her story on a video at MSNBC, she set off my Susan Smith lie detectors, and I had a look around. Turns out the police are very suspicious of her story...

http://www.tmz.com/2008/10/23/politically-motivated-mutilation-real-or-hoax/

She wasn't even willing to go to the hospital, that's how traumatized she was. If the police suspicions are correct (and I think they are), this is a person who is willing to start a race war just to either A. get her candidate elected, or B. to get her fifteen minutes of fame. Either way, as with Susan Smith, doing something reprehensible and then blaming in on Black people is about as reprehensible as it is possible to get. And it is entirely in keeping with the whole ethic of the McCain campaign.
