    So McCain's start in politics was financed by the mob...

      McCain's father-in-law was also a pilot who was injured during war and then returned to abandon his family for another woman.

      That sounds familiar....

        According to the article he was actually a bombardier.

        They are just the well rounded American family. Hanging out with mobsters, marrying the mob, walking off and leaving families, entitlement attitude, supporting his wife's drug addiction and keeping her from being charged for numerous felonies, needing anger management and advocating illegal wars! Yep, that describes McCain.. Just the all American boy, married into the all American family!

          So lame. Imagination gone wild! Write a book and see if it sells better than Pelosi's loser.

          Here comes the attack dog smears. I wonder what will be next. McCain marries the mob daughter!! McCain was really treated like a king in POW camp. McCain flew his sorties on autopilot while asleep at the stick. McCain almost flunked the Naval Academy. McCain not really a maverick and is Bush's cousin.

          So yesterday already. He married a good looking woman he fell in love with, not the father. Divorce is so common today it is almost a given. The so called Capone mob guys don't even have Italian names. What's with that. Convicted felon doesn't serve time? He gives his first daughter money and education. Better than most do and a lot better than nothing. So many fortunes were started with questionable dealings. Joe Kennedy and his drug running and shady deals. Ted and relatives don't care nor do the voters in Mass. I don't hold it against the woman who married Teddy although he was quite a womanizer and drunk.

            Interesting. McCain breaks his vows to God not just once, but consistently and openly over decades. Clinton got dragged through an attempted coup d`etat over adultery. Edward gets dragged through the mud for doing it once, but you cons are sure forgiving when the adulterer is a fellow Republican. Even you have got to admit the Republicans are the pinnacle of hypocrisy.

            McCain volunteered info that made his life in POW better and safer, while endangering the other POWs. Hence their hate for him. It`s always been all about John, screw everybody else.

            McCain is another spoiled legacy child, like Bush, who got by on his family name and money. Unaccountable, irresponsible, and prone to break moral and legal laws.

            McMaverck has the worst rating from the Iraq & Aghan Veterens, `the worst` rating from the Children`s Defense Fund, the worst record on minorities, he`s fought against minimum wage increases for years while voting to give himself raises every year and to give away trillions in entitlements to the special interests.

            McCain even voted to end the minimum wage altogether because the guy who married out of the working class the first chance he got, thinks it is a good thing to have Americans compete with illegal immigrants for jobs that will pay less per hour than a gallon of gas.

            The League of Conservation Voters gave McCain the worst rating of all Senators for his anti-environment record.

            Regarding John`s choice of idols, it is so very typical that McCain would choose a womanizing, family-dumping felon like Cindy`s Dad. Shows how low his moral standards are.

            The question is, why does a guy who avoiding every chance he got to actually earn his own way through life hate the working class so much?

            Look at the lib comments and see how they love to smear. They complain about such tactics against Obama but love to hate monger. They think they have it knocked but the reason they will lose is because of trash thinking like this. The majority of reasonable Americans just don't think crazy like this.

              Which reasonable Americans are you talking about? Those that still supports Bush, those that think Cheney's better than sliced white bread, those who support big oil, those who support Haliburton and no-bid contracts, those who support the eroding of our Constitution, those who support tax breaks and subsidies for companies closing down in the US and building in foreign countries, those who support our decifit spending and leaving this mess to future generations, and those who support the wrong war?

              so let me see if i have this straight Okay , McCain has a tie with a felon and he is brought under the smear campaign, but Obama is tied to let me see here 1,2,3,4,5 at least 5 anti American and black activists, and at least 1 guy that admits to blowing things and people up in America and says he wishes he could have done more and you guys (Dems) just brush that under the rug as Not Important the old saying (And i think Biden was around When this was started) whats good for the goose is good for the gander) if you attack McCain for these things then we (repubs) can do the same. And off topic Obama cannot use change anymore as a running slogan Because he wanted new politics to help change and he brings in a 35 Year vet of politics??? and Age can not be used against McCain anymore because Joe B is as old as McCain.

                Psst...Biden is 66, McBush is 72. Biden is sharp as a tack and McBush is getting more senile. McBush used very poor judgement in supporting Keating in bilking many Americans of their retirement and saving funds. McBush didn't want any investigations into the Vietnam War MIAs and had his POW experience sealed so no one can access them to see what kind of a hero he was. What was he sweeping under the rug? McBush has voted against most of the bills that benefit veterns but insists he supports our troops. McBush foreign policy consists of war, war and more war.

                  WTH are you babbling about?

                  Obama is not connected with any felons.

                  If you counted every person who has done wrong to America, McCain would beat Obama in the felon count just by the very fact that he is Republican. Add to that all the years McCain has been licking the boots of special interests and sucking up to those like George Bush (I and II), Reagan, Cheney, Rove, Iseman, Rezko, Abramoff, Stevens, etc.

                  McCain has 160 lobbyists running his campaign. McCain is either so corrupt we cannot afford to allow him to win, or he is so senile he does not know what he says or does.

                  I believe it is the latter. But either way, McCain is not fit to lead.

                    Obama is not connected with any felons? Who was one of his first political fund raisers and every campaign since? That would be convicted felon Rezko. As to special interests how about the unions or Ethanol? Please go beyond MoveOn, Daily Koz and Huffington.

                      Sorry, but Rezko is one of Bush/Rove`s boys.

                      Came out in Rezko`s trial: Rove lied to the Traitor-Gate investigators about when he first knew about the outing of the CIA secret agent. Rezko was such a good Bush buddy, Bush had him over at the WH for a Christmas dinner.

                      What was your point again?

                      I didnt say felons when talking about obama i said antiamerican and black activists and i know all politicans are crooked thats how the got to be politicans, what i am saying is , obama has as many skeletons in his closet as McCain does,BHO was a slum lord lawyer had shady dealings with a a man by the name or resko went to an antiamerican church with a anti white minister for 20+ years, Looked up to a black activist by the name of Faracon ( might be spelt wrong)
                      and yes McCain has probably had dirty dealings being a politican but look at the time span 20+ years ago with McCain and maybe 10 years ago for Obama give or take a few years.

                        McCain was selling out before Obama was out of school. Try Keating Five for starters.

                        Try stealing private property for the benefit of his cronies.

                        Try selling out to Big Oil and the military industrial complex for decades. McCain was the guy who screwed the Boeing deal and got it and the jobs sent overseas because one of the lobbyists running his campaign work for Aerbus.

                        Selling out the FCC for his lobbyist/girlfriends employer.

                        Obama could not match McCain`s legacy of corruption and adultery if he dedicated his life to it, especially the last eight years.

                    Now I understand why McSame is a republicon. Birds of a feather flock together. He is more comfortable with gangsters and outlaws than with normal people.

                      Wow, I love the hypocrisy. Repugs have been going on for months about Obama, Rezko and Ayers, but they start having little hissy fits when the fact the mob money financed McCain's entry into politics comes to light.

                        .

                        The campaigns have dumbed down the message for all idiot voters to understand: vote against McCain and you are un-American, vote against Obama and you are a racist!

                        I'd rather vote FOR someone I believe in, so I'll most likely write-in Ron Paul on election day.

                        Fortunately, there are many third party options on my ballot, so I'm voting both parties out of office!

                        ..
