I've been on their email list since they began making videos to expose the government's many failures in responding to the aftermath of Katrina in August 2005. |

16 Jun 08 - 05:52 PM (#2367354) Subject: RE: BS: The real John McCain From: Stringsinger John McCain if elected would ruin this country. He has no clue about diplomacy, economics, the Constitution or the Depression that we are in, now. His machinations about succeeding in Iraq are pathological. It doesn't take much to evaluate him. Just listen to him speak. He shows a disdain and a lack of caring for US citizens and their needs. He shamelessly uses political ruses like "security" or "gas prices" as a tool for obtaining power. He is completely out of touch with working America. He represents a pseudo-populism that disguises his allegiance to the wealthy corporate America. He has poisoned the well of government by building a mistrust toward it and it's a self-fulfilling prophecy because the current Administration is out to destroy this government by selling it off to private corporations. The agencies that were once in place to protect the public have been gutted by BushCo and McCain will carry that legacy forward. You think Hoover and Coolidge were bad? If McCain gets in, we'll all be walking because gas prices will be prohibitive. (they may be anyhow but he would exacerbate that problem by reverse Robin Hood, robbing the poor to pay the rich). He has completely reversed himself giving the impression to the meretricious TV news corporations that he is some kind of "maverick". He is not. He is consistenly pro-big business and anti-worker. It's Boss Tweed all over again. His life-style is as a jet setter and "let 'em eat cake". |

16 Jun 08 - 11:04 PM (#2367554) Subject: RE: BS: The real John McCain From: katlaughing Frank, I always love reading your take on things; you hold no punches and let loose in a grand way. McCain has now said the federal moratorium on off-shore drilling should be lifted in order to curb our dependence on foreign oil and as part of a way to reach a "long-term" goal of alternative energy. He does not advocate drilling in the "Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the Everglades, the Grand Canyon and other sensitive areas." "Asked by reporters about those places, McCain said Monday that he still believes the refuge is a "pristine" area. But he said the coastline should be open to oil drilling. He did not describe the new incentives to encourage states to agree with him." So apparently, he doesn't consider coastlines to be "pristine" OR if they are, he sure as hell doesn't care if they stay that way. |

17 Jun 08 - 09:48 PM (#2368390) Subject: RE: BS: The real John McCain From: Bill D I suspect that almost all of McCain's policies are colored by his 5 years in prison. Even he doesn't realize how much. It explains a bit...at least for me...but it does NOT excuse his mistakes and in no way makes him a good choice for leading the country. In fact, it may make him one of the worst possible choices, just as Bush is widely believed to base many of his decisions on 'finishing his father's business'. |
