John McCain Thinks You're a Whiner

John McCain is running for President because he thinks all Americans are just a bunch of whiners. Why does John McCain hate Americans?

McCain is so Insanely Old

By now it is no surprise to everyone that John McCain is old. But I never realized just how old he really is!!! He was born in 1936!!! Alaska and Hawaii weren't even states then.

You have to go to Things Younger Than John McCain for a complete list and belive me it is a long list...penicillian is even younger than McCain! I don't have any real point to this except to state again that John McCain is old, really really really old.

John McCain Hates Trains

John McCain hates trains. It seems this has been well known by train and railroad advocates for some time now but seeing how gas prices are soaring, the demand for rail transportation is exploding and John McCain is the Republican nominee a perfect storm is forming for the railroads to be a campaign issue.

TRAIN TRAVEL is finally becoming a third rail of politics. The first one to fry over it might be John McCain.

For years, McCain, in the comfort of cheap gasoline for autos and airplanes, made Amtrak a personal whipping boy. Despite the fact that governments in Western Europe and Asia zoomed far ahead of the United States by supporting high-speed trains to relieve congestion, promote tourism and now as we are coming to know, save the planet, McCain has spent considerable capital in denying the passenger rail system the capital to modernize.

In 2000, when he was chairman of the Senate Science, Commerce and Transportation committee, McCain killed $10 billion in capital funding for Amtrak. He denounced Amtrak as a symbol of government waste, claiming, "There's only two parts of the country that can support a viable rail system - the Northeast and the far West."

Could McCain get even less visionary? Of course he can.

In the section of McCain's website called "reforming our transportation sector," there is no mention of rail.

McCain Advisor Thinks Another Attack on US will Help Their Campaign

That John McCain really knows how to pick'em. John McCain's chief advisor, Charlie Black, apparently thinks another attack on the U.S. would be a good thing for their campaign.

On national security McCain wins. We saw how that might play out early in the campaign, when one good scare, one timely reminder of the chaos lurking in the world, probably saved McCain in New Hampshire, a state he had to win to save his candidacy - this according to McCain's chief strategist, Charlie Black. The assassination of Benazir Bhutto in December was an "unfortunate event," says Black. "But his knowledge and ability to talk about it reemphasized that this is the guy who's ready to be Commander-in-Chief. And it helped us." As would, Black concedes with startling candor after we raise the issue, another terrorist attack on U.S. soil. "Certainly it would be a big advantage to him," says Black.

He then quickly apologized.

Black, interviewed by reporters as he stood outside McCain's fundraiser, said: "I deeply regret the comments. They were inappropriate. I recognize that John McCain has devoted his entire adult life to protecting his country and placing its security before every other consideration.

I am not sure what is worse that McCain's top advisor sees a terrorist attack on the U.S. as a good thing in any capacity or that McCain is so incompetant in choosing people to run things.

Why Doesn't John McCain Love America?

Dan Abrams discovered video of a Fox News interview with John McCain on March 13, 2008, during which McCain said, "I didn't really love America until I was deprived of her company." He is refering to his time in Vietnam. McCain was in his thirties at this time, so for 30 plus years John McCain "didn't really love America". That's just sad.

McCain Brings the Midwest Flood Victims a Photo-Op

John McCain cares more about his photo-op in flood ravaged Iowa than he does about the people in the Midwest suffering from through the catastrophe.

An aide to Iowa's governor said Thursday that Republican presidential candidate John McCain ignored the governor's request to cancel a campaign visit amid a massive flood recovery effort in the state.

McCain toured flood-damaged sites in Iowa on Thursday, including the town of Columbus Junction in the southeast. [...]

Patrick Dillon, Gov. Chet Culver's chief of staff, said the governor was concerned that McCain's trip would divert local law enforcement from the flood recovery effort to provide security for McCain.

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama canceled a scheduled visit to eastern Iowa last week at the request of state officials.

So although McCain's photo-op trip diverted valuable assets away from those in need their campaign did score some sweet photos of McCain in action.

Journalists and reporters immediately began to doubt the photo's authenticity asking suspicious questions, such as 'Why is it in black and white?' and 'What's with the fedora hat?' The campaign later issued an apology stating:

The initial photo we released was an honost mistake. The picture in question was from a photo-op Senator McCain did during the Ohio Flood of 1913. Thus the lack of color and odd style of dress.

The McCain campaign followed up with another super sweet McCain moment caught on film. He's off to a heck of a start.
