Loved how Bennett cleared McCain of both the Keating Five and the affair - all in one swoop. The Times are known for their ostentatious lies.

Re: McCain Accused of Having An Affair with Lobbyi

Ferd,

You're stereotyping. Not every Democrat is Godless or validating perversion. There are Democrats who side with Republicans quite often, but still don't buy into everything Republicans believe.

Here's a question, if the Democratic party is so evil...why don't you help change it? Why not offer the hand of fellowship to those working with Democrats to steer the party from the far left? For example, there are a number of pro-life Democrats and the number is growing. Each Democrat and each Republican stands as an individual.

The DLC is known for it's more conservative economics. They worked with Republicans to pass NAFTA

The DFLA is known for being Pro-Life. They were key in passing the ban on partial birth abortion.

The Democratic Party is changing. Slowly, but changing. There are men on the inside who are working hard to rescue the party from extreme liberalism.

Bennett said, “I'm in a pretty unique position to talk about John McCain. First, I should tell your listeners I'm a registered Democrat, so I'm not on his side of a lot of issues. But I investigated John McCain for a year and a half, at least, when I was special counsel to the Senate Ethics Committee in the Keating Five, which, by the way, this ‘New York Times’ article goes back to and discusses, goes back years and years. And if there is one thing I am absolutely confident of, it is John McCain is an honest and honest man. I recommended to the Senate Ethics Committee that he be cut out of the case, that there was no evidence against him, and I think for the ‘New York Times’ to dig this up just shows that Senator McCain's public statement about this is correct. It's a smear job. I'm sorry.”

I agree. It's a smear job. Nothing of substance can be verified.

But I think McCain could benefit somewhat from this. It certainly takes the press' attention off Obama and Hillary. McCain's campaign might want to lead a push for press reform in how things are reported during the campaign. For example, when CBS anchor man Dan Rather reported false information about Bush's National Guard activities, it too blew up in their face. The Bush campaign used that to capitalize on pushing for greater accuracy in reporting during the election and the pressure applied to CBS lead to Dan Rather resigning and a big shakeup at CBS. I think this could be used to make some major changes with the New York Times and make the press more careful during this election season...if McCain knows how to cash in on it.

Just my thoughts.

Re: McCain Accused of Having An Affair with Lobbyi

Hey bro, the county board of elections has me registered as a Republican, and that's official. Also in a free country anyone can comment as they like. Republicans still believe in free countries right?

But if you don't want to talk politics that's cool bro. I really enjoy the poetry thread. I like the poetry you posted.

Re: McCain Accused of Having An Affair with Lobbyi

“It is a shame that The New York Times has lowered its standards to engage in a hit-and-run smear campaign. John McCain has a 24-year record of serving our country with honor and integrity. He has never violated the public trust, never done favors for special interests or lobbyists, and he will not allow a smear campaign to distract from the issues at stake in this election.

“Americans are sick and tired of this kind of gutter politics, and there is nothing in this story to suggest that John McCain has ever violated the principles that have guided his career.”

Does the Keating 5 ring a bell? John McCain himself has admitted he messed up back then.

I'll try to find his name, but one of McCain's top campaign guy's is the head of a big-time lobbyist firm that rakes in millions from the very thing McCain so ardently speaks against. So it's not hard to think McCain may have set himself up for trouble. If nothing else, he doesn't think very well - having the head of a big lobbyist firm on staff and being close and giving too much personal access to a female lobbyist.

I don't think McCain had an affair ... good grief, not even the little blue pill could help that guy ... however, I think there may have been favors done for this lobbyist. If nothing else, his close association with her shows that he's a hypocrite about his major political career messages.

As for the story ... the NYT's knew all of this back when they endorsed McCain. It's political, pure and simple. If they can find any evidence of favors being done, McCain's finished. He'll be proven a liar. And with the conservatives already uneasy about him, it will only drive more away.

I doubt, though, the NYT's could find any evidence.

McCain will weather this ... in fact, this is a god-send for his campaign. He should be thanking the NYT's for the story; because now he's got conservative talk radio on his side.
