McCain Caught Lying: 'Didn't Vote for Bush'
Arianna Huffington has been vindicated. Last week on her site, she recounted how--at a Hollywood dinner party at the home of Candice Bergen--John McCain and his wife Cindy boasted that they hadn't voted for George W. Bush back in 2000. McCain denied Arianna's account via a spokesperson, who said, "consider the source." Well, The New York Times and The Washington Post went out and found a couple of sources of their own--People who were also sitting near the McCains, and heard the remarks.
From the Post:
In separate phone interviews, Bradley Whitford and Richard Schiff--both of whom starred in the television political drama "The West Wing"--said the senator made the remarks after he spoke at length about his reservations about Bush becoming president.
Now that is rich. The McCains rubbing elbows with the Hollywood elite, and holding forth on their dislike of Bush. There's a little "red-meat" for conservatives to chew on.
I guess we should all consider the source whenever McCain fires up the Straight-Talk Express.

Just because Arianna's has her friends back her up does not make it so or anywhere near "fact." If it's not on tape, don't believe a word of it.

America Needs A REAL President, Not Another Feelie-Good Obama Sermon

Who cares? Everyone's got the right to their own vote and the right to keep it private, no matter how much of a public figure they are. The things people bring up as "dirt" are so stupid.

I THINK JOHN AND CINDY MCCAIN WILL BE PICKED ON BECAUSE OF THEIR STATUS OF THIS RACE. WHETHER THEY VOTED FOR BUSH OR NOT IS NONE OF ANYONES BUSINESS. ARE PEOPLE,,ANY PEOPLE ABLE TO KEEP SOME OF THEIR LIFE PRIVATE? SOME AMERICANS ARE READY TO HANG YOU JUST BECAUSE THEY WANT THE OTHER CANDIDATE. COOL IT AND GIVE THE REST OF THIS CAMPAIGN TIME TO DO A DECENT JOB AND QUIT TRYING TO STIR UP TROUBLE. SOME PEOLE ARE NOT HAPPY UNLESS THEY CAN STIR UP THE POT. NO NOT A REPUBLICAN BUT I CAN STILL SAY BE DECENT IN YOUR PERSONAL DIFFERENCES...HILLARY SHOULD GET THE NOMIEE BUT ITS NOT LOOKING GOOD FOR HER

Obama said Quote " I did not hear any of these Remarks, nor did I learn of these remarks until I saw them on a clip from youtube " un-Quote . At Newsmax.com kessler/obama , The secret service say's he was in the chirch the day Rev. Wright gave the Hate America Sermon.

You better be careful David... the Clinton supporters, and those McCain supporters are going to tear your article apart. The true conservatives don't support McCain, and he hasn't energized or united his own party. Look at the number of people who voted and registered for the Democrats. Look at both of the Democratic candidates numbers, wow it totally blows the Republican numbers out of the water. My bf who use to be a Republican before Obama... who has a lot of conservative friends tell me they will not vote for McCain.
Either way people who suggest McCain will win... are speaking prematurely. Let us just let this process play out then let us see who wins.

You will rue the day if Obama is elected as President of the USA. Everyone will be paying more to pay for his social programs like health care. To pay for this he will make everyone pay more in taxes and will cut benefits in Medicare. Its like taking from one group to pay for another. We don't need more Government programs. Many Americans at one time refused to take any government hand outs because they had their pride and worked two or three jobs to pay for their familes needs. Also there are 11 to 12 Million Illigels in this country costing the tax payer Billions out of there pockets paying for hospital, school and taxes not being paid back into the system.

Here the democrats go again - Remember how Nancy Peolosi accused President Bush of lying every time she opened her mouth!!! Well when she became speaker of the house and prissed over to the Middle East to perform wonders in her short skirt!!! we know how that turned out!!!! Accusations of lying are the democrats favorite way to attack!!!
Paul Mauriat10:09AMMay 9th 2008
A vote for John McCorruption McCain is a vote to continue the Cheney-Bush-Pelosi trashing of (what was once) America.
But I'm convinced that it doesn't matter much which Fascist American Swine, Democrat or Republican, is in the Wh**e House next year! The corporate
assault on the former Republic will continue apace.
And the majority of the people of this country will will stupidly bend over further and say how much further up my a** would you like to shove that big Red White and Blue corporate d*ck!

Yeah, and Hilary lied about being "under fire," trying to be a hero. Obama covers up his hate-preaching pastor, then "disowns" him because things got too heated for him to handle....like we want a man who listens to hate-mongering sermons in office anyway. Just more liberal bullshit-lined articles. Go watch your candidates roll in the mud some more. Dumbasses.
Denys Dutton10:30AMMay 9th 2008
David, WOW!!- - - Man you nailed him on that one!!!- - I am sure something this profound is going to change everyones mind!!!- - - At least sometimes your commie blather is interesting or tells us of your childish way of understanding the world, but, today you just took one toke too many!- - Do you ever READ what you wright (no pun intended)???- - Do you honestly realize how damn silly this is??- - I doubt it, As any bitter country guy could tell you, you don't go hunting bears with a bb gun!!!-- Take a day off and try again.

Everyone has the right to keep their voting private. I do not give Huffington any credit for anything but trash & garbage. Even if he didn't vote for President Bush, so what!.

This is much to do abou nothing. If he did or didn't vote for Bush, what does it matte now? Many people who did vote for Bush wish they hadn't. This is an attempt to take away from what really matters...the economy. Wake up folks don't be deceived.

I AM A LIFELONG DEMOCRAT,BUT IF OBAMA GETS THE NOMINATION I WILL BE VOTING FOR MCCAIN, AND I WILL VOTE DEMOCRAT FOR THE HOUSE AND SENATE.I FEEL THAT HAVING A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT AND A DEMOCRAT HOUSE AND SENATE WOULD BE GOOD FOR OUR COUNTRY.
Davidg11:20AMMay 9th 2008
"both of whom starred in the television political drama "The West Wing""
consider the source again.
Two actors on the let's pretend Martin Sheen is president show? Puleeeze.
There is no way you can make McCain as bad as Obama, no matter what lies you make up.
AISLEYALEX11:34AMMay 9th 2008
NEIL,
THANK YOU. BLACKS HAVE ALWAYS VOTED DEM. BILL CLINTON GOT THE LARGEST BLACK VOTE OF ANY CANDIDATE. IT APPEARS SOME WHITE ARE REALLY ANGRY THAT BLACK PEOPLE VOTE FOR OBAMA. IT MAKES YOU WONDER.IT IS THAT TYPE OF THINKING THAT HAS HELD THIS COUNTRY HOSTAGE.AMERICANS ARE BEING LEAD BY THEIR NOSES. SPECULATORS ARE RAISING THE PRICE OF OIL.READ THE NEWS. LISTEN TO ECONOMISTS.THEY ARE TRADING AMERICANS DOWN THE DRAIN AND BLAMING IT ON OPEC.
HILLARY AND JOHN MCCAIN GAS TAX HOLIDAY IS PURE BULL.
IT WOULD TAKE AN ACT OF CONGRESS TO MAKE THE OIL COMPANIES PAY OUT OF THEIR PROFITS. BOTH OF THEM KNOW THAT. IF I KNOW IT.
WE WILL NEVER BE A UNITED COUNTRY, SURPRISE, BLACK PEOPLE ARE JUST AS PREJUDICE AS WHITES. SO LETS NOT THINK THAT BLACK PEOPLE WANT TO BE YOU FRIENDS AND ARE PEEPING IN YOUR WINDOWS GREEN WITH ENVY AT YOUR WHITENESS.

WHEN OBAMA PANDERS TO BLACKS it's called "loyalty." When Clinton panders to white it's called racism.
See how the White House will look under Obama? Thankfully OBAMA CAN NOT WIN THE WHITE HOUSE without the votes of millions of CLinton's supporter he will never get.
Now that's just a fact.
