John McCain is the closest thing we have had as an authentic dunce since the GOP ran Warren Harding. The fellow is clueless, ignorant . . . in a word: dumb!
March 16, 2008: While visiting Iraq with Senator Lieberman, McCain demonstrated he doesn’t know Shiite from Sunni, who’s training terrorists or where, or which sect al Qaida belongs to. Corrected on the tarmac by Joe Lieberman, McCain made the same mistake the next day in a radio interview with right-wing host Hugh Hewitt. (See 2d URL to transcript). On March 16, McCain said to reporters, “It’s common knowledge and has been reported in the media that al-Qaeda is going back into Iran and receiving training and are coming back into Iraq from Iran, that’s well known. And it’s unfortunate.”
A few moments later, Sen. Joseph Lieberman, standing just behind McCain, stepped forward and whispered in the presidential candidate’s ear. McCain then said: “I’m sorry, the Iranians are training extremists, not al-Qaeda.” March 17, 2008: Radio transcript June 21, 2008: In interview with Diane Sawyer, McCain claims “trouble on Iraq/Pakistan border (URL is to YouTube video!) PS note: If someone can locate where Iraq borders Pakistan, let me know. June 13, 2008: McCain calls Sup Ct. G’tmo habeas corpus case decision, “one of worst in history.” (Not Plessey, not Dred Scott, not Korimatsu??) and demonstrates ignorance that no Constitutional protection has anything to do with US “citizenship.” (See YouTube URL) June 15, 2008: McCain referred to the recent Sup Ct G’tmo case as a “Miranda warnings” case, when in fact, Miranda, as every kid who’s ever seen a Cops TV show knows, is 5th Amendment. The Sup Ct case at issue was an Art 1, Section 9 habeas corpus case. Advice to the Obama camp: “Take the fight to him. Kick the creep’s ass. You’ve got the weaponry.”John McCain is a spoiled rich kid who, on his own, without the fact that his grandfather and father were USNA alumni, high-ranking officers, well connected in Washington, and his mother was the wealthy heiress of California oil-catters, wouldn’t have been able to get into a welding trade school, let alone the Naval Academy! John McCain is an inveterate liar who makes George Bush more truthful than George Washington in comparison.
February 23, 2008 (Washington Post, James Grimaldi & Jeff Birnbaum). Lowell “Bud” Paxon contradicts McCain’s assertion he did not intercede with the FCC, compose a letter t the FCC on behalf of the Arizona braodcaster’s efforts to acquire a Phoenix station. May 9, 2008: Contrary to his strenuous denial, the evidence in a Washington Post investigation reveals that in fact John McCain did push a federal land sale deal through that benefited one of his most generous supporters. June 8, 2008: In Baton Rouge, McCain, in reaction to a reporter’s question concerning his sorry record on his initial response to Katrina, and his two votes to block any investigations into the federal role, McCain lied: “I have voted to support every investigation.” And what he really did as Katrina made landfall.June, 2003 through 2008: YouTube compilation of McCain lies re his first pronouncements “Easy” on Iraq, then in 2007 claims he cautioned Americans at the outset it would be tough.
July 15, 2008: McCain, in Faith of My Fathers, noted that, in an effort to ridicule and mislead his North Vietnamese captors, gave them the names of the Green Bay Packers’ starting offensive line as members of his flight squadron. In the book, he claimed it was his “favorite team” at the time. But while campaigning in Pittsburgh, he changed the name of the team to that of the Steelers, and the offensive line became the Steelers. (Even his Faith sounds too preposterous for someone who had been kept literally in near solitary confinement through the Green Bay period involved.) August 19, 2008: During the Saddleback Church forum, McCain related his POW story where a “gun guard” approached him outside his cell one Christmas morning, and while saying not a thing, the guard made a sign of the cross in the dirt. This anecdote is a direct lift from Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s Gulag Archipelago. Advice to the Obama camp: “Take the fight to him. Kick the creep’s ass. You’ve got the weaponry.” John McCain is the sleaziest, most corrupt, single-celled phylum we’ve had as a candidate since good ol’ Warren H.

Fire every last fuzzy-cheeked know-nothing kid in your field staff; replace ‘em with some Bloods, some Crips, some MS13. An entire country’s future is at risk and you’re playing as if it was just some scrimmage game with rules. Only one rule in this game: win! — Ed Tubbs Reno, NV
