Politics Is A Four Letter Word
For McCain, Self-Confidence on Ethics Poses Its Own Risk
Complete article is HERE it is several pages so I am just putting the link here for you to click on.
Basically this is it...............
Late Wednesday, the Times published to its website a story set to hit print editions Thursday, linking McCain to a female lobbyist. The paper suggested the Arizona Senator has been engaged in an illicit relationship.
"A female lobbyist had been turning up with him at fund-raisers, visiting his offices and accompanying him on a client’s corporate jet," the Times reported. "Convinced the relationship had become romantic, some of his top advisers intervened to protect the candidate from himself — instructing staff members to block the woman’s access, privately warning her away and repeatedly confronting him, several people involved in the campaign said on the condition of anonymity."
The Times said that McCain, 71, and the lobbyist, Vicki Iseman, 40, denied the Times innuendo that they had engaged in a romantic relationship or that McCain had done favors for Iseman. The Times alleged that McCain had written letters to government regulators on behalf of Iseman.
Though McCain has had a reputation as an independent and maverick U.S. Senator who has championed ethic and campaign finance reform, the Times story painted a different picture.
Though last year McCain had voted to end the practice of lawmakers using private jets paid for by those lobbying Congress, the Times said McCain had used the private planes of billionaires Rupert Murdoch and Michael R. Bloomberg, as well as one of Iseman’s clients.
The paper also brings up McCain's role in the infamous S&L scandal and his collaboration with banker Charles Keating. McCain was named a member of the so-called "Keating Five."

Wild Thing's comment........
The smearing begins, unfortunately it is part of an election process. Not only here in America but in other countries as well.
McCain has been the favored Republican of the media in his campaign, as the media ignored or attacked Hunter, Thompson and Romney. Did we really think the media liked McCain, no not unless we want to buy a bridge in some desert.
So what do we have here, some old story that may or may not be true about a man that for the most part has very little respect from conservatives as it is.
Add into this factor politics it is cut throat and messy and that is the least of it's negatives. Selling one's soul to the devil to get delegates and make empty promises that never were intended to be fulfilled is another.
McCain has sold his soul, so have all of them that are left in the race on both sides of the fence. I include Huckabee in this as well. He may very well be the sleaziest of all. There is a price to pay for selling one's soul and it is not pretty.
IMO McCain's soul was cast into Dante's inferno when he and John Kerry deliberately hid information during the Select Senate hearings on our missing POW's and MIA's —THEIR FELLOW VIETNAM VETERANS—in order to normalize relations with Vietnam.
McCain took the lead in demanding a U.S. Justice Department investigation of POW/MIA families and activists accusing them of fraud because in some of their fund-raising literature they claimed the U.S. government knowingly left U.S. POWs behind after the Vietnam War and that some remain alive today.
McCain told reporters, "The people who have done these things are not zealots in a good cause. They are the most craven, most cynical and most despicable human beings to ever run a scam."
And John McCain, a former POW in Vietnam, called an ad the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth were running criticizing John Kerry's military service "dishonest and dishonorable" . . . "I deplore this kind of politics," McCain said. "I think the ad is dishonest and dishonorable."
Things like this come back to bite a person .....Karma!
McCain calls it a smear.
McCain: Reports on lobbyist a 'smear'
I guess this is the next phase of our election process, so we will see what happens and buckle up because like Bette Davis said in one of her movies All About Eve ....."Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night."
Meanwhile, pray for America and please join me in checking out any Congressional Races in your areas. There is still something we can all do to try and keep our great country from disappearing completely as we have known and loved her.

Yes WT. We knew these attacks on McCain would occur. His dishonesty made him an easy target. It seems a bit early to start smearing just after the MSM supported his run to the almost guaranteed top spot in the GOP primary. Guess they want a good long run.
The wolves of the media now turn on two of their former darlings, McCain and Clinton, as they promote their now favored darling the really true anti-Christ Obama.
God Help Us!

Yep--they want to smear him up good, but you know what? I wouldn't put it past him to have done something like that. McCain isn't honest. That doesn't mean he's not a good and decent man, but his honesty is lacking.
None of the candidates are honest. Anyone who is, gets nowhere. I know, I've seen dishonest, unethical employees get promoted over hardworking, honest employees. It's become a fact of life--the more honest you are, the less chance you have.
Why should the run for President be any different?

Well Well Well.........imagine that!!!! No wonder he smiles a lot; 71 and still going strong!!!! Who does he think he is...the Energizer Bunny??? And why does everyone think he is bad for having a romantic fling? After all.....He is just doing what his Liberal Mentor...Wild Bill.....taught him!!!! Has everyone forgotten that Bill clearly explained to all us guys that a BJ is not having sex!!!!!!
You are so right WT about selling their souls....if they even had one to begin with!!!! Poor God.........he must be sitting up in Heaven wondering what went wrong with his beautiful plan. Time for another Sodom and Gomorrah???
And TomR, you are absolutely right about Obama being the anti-Christ!!!! He has mesmerized so many people with sugar dripping off of his evil forked tongue. God help us all if he gets elected!!!!!!!!!!!

That cartoon sums it up quite well WT. All the media is doing is taking the focus off Obama where there needs to be some objective reporting. That dead fish sniff test for McCain was passed last campaign, it's nothing more than a regurgitated red herring. I don't give a rat's ass about McCain or his perceived predelictions, I don't like him or trust him based on his past actions. Whether he or either of the other two Socialists are in the oval office means much less than the feckless representatives that are undermining the nation. We need to look at who we are going to elect for the House and Senate to counter and block the packing of SCOTUS which is uncertain under McCain and a sure deal under the Marx brothers, Clinton and Obama. Of course we could simply abandon the Constitution and rely exclusively on the Unitd Nations and The Hague which is the direction the RINO's and the Democrats are headed.

Tom, my very first thought was that Huckabee had something to do with the Times doing this. I guess I am wrong, but that says a lot that I even had a thought like that. haha

Lynn, I agree, the things you said I have seen happen so many times.
Posted by: Wild Thing at February 21, 2008 11:45 PM
John, LOL "Energizer Bunny".
And what a great example "wild bill" is. haha Your so right John.

Jack, if only one channel would take on Obama and really do an in depth reporting on him. A real in your face report, all the facts not even a commentary would be needed just reporting the actual facts about him.
I really think it would be the most talked about show, yes the most hated by many, but also it would set a whole new way of being honest in reporting for a change.
I guess I am dreaming again......sigh.

WT... Sketch a RINO horn on McCain's face and have an elephant sitting at the bar next to him!
