With one debate in the can and the election a mere five weeks away, the new issue of Rolling Stone focuses on John McCain. When Rolling Stone’s Tim Dickinson took a closer look at the self-proclaimed “maverick,” he found a disturbing career’s worth of recklessness, dishonesty and reversals. Click below for the complete story, as well as a run-down of the McCain campaign’s double talk.

How dare you question the legend of John Mc(insert…).

Just because he’s got a temper, flipflops on a DAILY basis, failed many missions in the Navy after finishing 4th from last in his class, was caught behind enemy lines, and has voted party line since the Democrats won congress evaporating his ‘maverick’ title, is no reason to question him………or is it?

So Obama is in that bad of shape.
The polls said he was doing pretty good.
Not a Land Slide, But certainly not anything that would constitute a all out blitz by all the Non-Partisan Publications..
Does Obama need a ” Democrat Operative ” asking the questions at the V.P. Debate?
Why not get Nancy Pelosi to ask the Questions at the Debate?
Ooops,, Can’t do that, it would give Governor Palin an unfair advantage.
Journalist don’t take sides, do they?
But then again, We’re not talking about Journalists are we?
We’re talking about Rolling Stone.

Will we see a special issue dedicated to debunking the Golden Boy Image of Obama?
What about all those ” Will Good or Good Will ” donations from abroad?
Might we investigate some of the back room dealings with Countrywide Home Loans before the Election?
I know, let’s take a closer look at some of the Ideas that were written down by the Harvard Student Barack Obama?
Would we investigate some past associates or present advisors of the Chosen One Himself?
Oh, Come Come, let’s do.
I think we should like it very much if both sides were given a fair shake.
Or are the only fair shakes one can get at Rolling Stone gotten in the men’s bathroom in front of the yernal?

I’m sure we have… it was a book filled with lies and dissinformation which was promoted on Fox television as journalism. The guy that wrote it would only go on Fox stations because he understood they would not grill him on the lies told within.
What Tim has done is merely go through McCain’s own book and dissected the content. Crossreferenced with persons who actually witnessed the events as well as other researchers and provided a realistic look at the PR’d product the GOP is attempting to s.ell us this time.
Ironically, the GOP found the perfect representative for it’s party. He evidently fits into all their ideals. Born wealthy and privileged. Never had to overachieve or actually achieve anything on their own, fed by a silver spoon. Assisted by an invisible hand when failure was afoot so that he would be shielded by virtue of his family name from adverse results of his ineptitude. Playing both sides of an issue in order to politically insulate himself in either case. Corrupt to the core and able to manipulate those criminal relationships in order to put himself in positions where he can influence outcomes to help his cronies. Heartless and Soulless thanks to his selfishness.

In other words, out of phase with those who actually understand the meanings behind the holy books and therefore working for the enemy of mankind… the perfect figurehead for the American Republican Party.
Articles of treason for the whole lot would be a waste of time. Indict them for treason to the republic and the constitution that forms it’s basis. They should learn the preamble and constitution and not released from prison until they can recite them from memory and fully understand what the words within said documents actually mean.

Peace

As much as I liked McCain in 2000 before he cowtowed to Bush when the rumors of his adopted Africian baby being his. So much for the so called non bigotted christian right community.

Delta, it’s not like the neocons don’t have their own magazines. If you have any credible dirt on Obama why don’t you write your own article?

Yeah Delta, I’d love to read it (and comment on it). You guys love to shoot the messenger. Can you dispute any of these FACTS? I didn’t think so.

Jed,
Have you read the 40 page rebuttal from the Obama Campaign? Search for the title “Unfit for Publication”.
