McCain Camp Accuses Politico Of Being “In The Tank”
Politico’s Ben Smith, writing a column called, “McCain Camp Criticism Rife WIth Errors” contends that McCainiacs are going overboard in exaggerating Obama’s record. A conference call with McCain campaign manage Steve Scmidt was rife with overstatements.
The errors in McCain strategist Steve Schmidt’s charges against Obama and Sen. Joe Biden were particularly notable because they seemed unnecessary. Schmidt repeatedly gilded the lily: He exaggerated the Biden family’s already problematic ties to the credit card industry; Obama’s embarrassing relationship with a 1960s radical; and an Obama supporter’s over-the-top attack on Sarah Palin when – in each case – the truth would have been damaging enough.
On Biden, Schmidt said Joe Biden’s son Hunter is a lobbyist for the credit card and banking industry. Smith writes:
But Hunter Biden’s lobbying clients don’t include any banks or credit card companies. He did work, as a vice president and then as a consultant, for MBNA, a Delaware-based bank and credit card giant to which Biden had close ties. But he does not appear to have lobbied for the firm.
Schmidt said that Obama was untruthful about his relationship with William Ayres and that Obama raised money at Ayers’ house. But Smith says:
Obama did hold a 1995 campaign event at Ayers’ house. It was not, however, a fundraiser, and Ayers did not contribute money to Obama’s first campaign, according to Illinois records.
And Schmidt compained that Obama surrogate, Congressman Robert Wexler of Florida, called Sarah Palin a Nazi sympathizer. Untrue, explains Smith:
But Wexler didn’t call Palin a Nazi sympathizer. He called former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan a Nazi sympathizer, and attacked Palin for allegedly having endorsed him.
McCain aides would not provide Politico evidence to back up their statements.
One McCain aide, Michael Goldfarb, said Politico was “quibbling with ridiculously small details when the basic things are completely right.”
Another, Brian Rogers, responded more directly:
“You are in the tank,” he e-mailed.
What happened to the John McCain who said the press is his base?
the conference call shows the desperation that the McCain camp is going through. They wanted to base their campaign on personalities and felt that Americans would be oblivious to their lying. But after 8 years of Bushs lies, enough is enough. This time, the PEOPLE matter, not your party.

Alan,
Perhaps your perception is a biased towards taking freedom from citizens! That’s the reality I hear comming from the mouths of Liberals. Sadly, many have believed the liberal lies having paid with their souls,health and freedom.
Everyday, I pray that freedom will be protected with the election of McClain! Should Nobama be elected, freedom will end in America. Political correctness bridles the truth and Nobama would enforce political correctness as the “law of the nation”!
September 22nd, 2008 at 8:11 pm
“biased towards taking freedom from citizens!”
WTF are you talking about???
under a republican dictatorship, we would only have one religion, we are paying women less, give women less control over their own bodies, send men and women to war and not pay a dime for it, bail out billionaires while telling the American worker ‘tough’- your job went overseas, and fight a war in Iraq while bin laden gets to go free. I guess when your president is best buddies with the Sauds, bringing justice behind 9/11 is not important. that is not freedom for all, it is freedom for white zealots who care more about themselves than America.
September 22nd, 2008 at 8:22 pm
curtis willis,
I’m sure it’s mutual.
Talk about taking freedom away from citizens!
Between the warrentless wiretapping, the gutting of habeas corpus, the firing of habeas corpus the firing of US attorneys for political reasons, takes some nerve.
The only reason Bush/Cheney have not been impeached is right wing political correctness.
Everyday, I pray that freedom will be protected with the election of someone who understands the principles of this country, puts country first….
OBAMA 08!

AMERICA won a big battle there, back when we were a nation of laws and principles.
LBJ lied about Viet Nam, he didn’t run again.
Nixon broke the law, his party told him he had to step down.
Now, we are told, just go shopping, here’s your bread and circus, don’t worry your pretty little heads, Dear Leader will handle everything.

McCain is losing and he’s starting to “Get it.” His selection of Palin was purely political and actually proof that he doesn’t care about winning or ending the War On Terror. As an American, we would never send our women to defeat Muslim Radicals. McCain made the statement that Palin is the most qualified person to win the war if he dies. That’s BS. Country First my butt. McCain made a political selection that slaps all women in the face. He’s losing and now he is getting desperate to the point of needing someone to use the N-word. I’ve got an N-word…Noooooooooooo! Our diversity is the best defense in the war on terror, not our women.

“As an American, we would never send our women to defeat Muslim Radicals.”
How many women wear the uniform?
Here’s a hint: Diversity if applied adequately INCLUDES WOMEN.
Your assanine comment leads me to believe your idea of feamles helping out their country is keeping them out of any position of power.
THAT is a slap in the face of every woman.

This is the real John McCain and how his treated his first marriage. What a SHAME to desert someone who waited 5+ years for McCain and this is what beauty means to him. Do we really need this kind of person to supervise our country? Maybe that’s why is also selected Palin for his VP because Cindy beauty is also fading.
McCain likes to illustrate his moral fiber by referring to his five years
as a prisoner-of-war in Vietnam. And to demonstrate his commitment to
family values, the 71-year- old former US Navy pilot pays warm tribute to
his beautiful blonde wife, Cindy, with whom he has four children. But there
is another Mrs. McCain who casts a ghostly shadow over the Senator’s
presidential campaign. She is seldom seen and rarely written about, despite
being mother to McCain’s three eldest children.
She was the woman McCain dreamed of during his long incarceration and
torture in Vietnam’s infamous ‘Hanoi Hilton’ prison and the woman who
faithfully stayed at home looking after the children and waiting anxiously
for news. But when McCain returned to Americain 1973 to a fanfare of
publicity and a handshake from Richard Nixon, he discovered his wife had
been disfigured in a terrible car crash three years earlier. Her car had
skidded on icy roads into a telegraph pole on Christmas Eve, 1969.
Her pelvis and one arm were shattered by the impact and she suffered
massive internal injuries.
When Carol was discharged from hospital after six months of life-saving
surgery, the prognosis was bleak. In order to save her legs, surgeons had
been forced to cut away huge sections of shattered bone, taking with it her
tall, willowy figure. She was confined to a wheelchair and was forced to
use a catheter. Today, she stands at just 5′ 4″ in and still walks
awkwardly, with a pronounced limp. Her body is held together by screws and
metal plates and, at 70, her face is worn by wrinkles that speak of decades
of silent suffering.
For nearly 30 years, Carol has maintained a dignified silence about the
accident, McCain and their divorce. But last week at the bungalow where she
now lives at Virginia Beach, a faded seaside resort 200 miles south of
Washington, she told The Mail on Sunday how McCain divorced her in 1980 and
married Cindy, 18 years his junior and the heir to an Arizona brewing
fortune, just one month later.
My marriage ended because John McCain didn’t want to be 40, he wanted to be
25. You know that happens…it just does.’
In 1979 – while still married to Carol – he met Cindy at a cocktail party
in Hawaii. Over the next six months he pursued her, flying around the
country to see her. Then he began to push to end his marriage. Some of
McCain’s acquaintances are less forgiving, however. They portray the
politician as a self-centered womanizer who effectively abandoned his
crippled wife to ‘play the field’. They accuse him of finally settling on
Cindy, a former rodeo beauty queen, for financial reasons.
Ted Sampley, who fought with US Special Forces in Vietnamand is now a
leading campaigner for veterans’ rights, said: ‘I have been following John
McCain’s career for nearly 20 years. I know him personally. There is
something wrong with this guy and let me tell you what it is -deceit.’
When he came home and saw that Carol was not the beauty he left behind, he
started running around on her almost right away. Everybody around him knew
it. Eventually he met Cindy and she was young and beautiful and very
wealthy. At that point McCain just dumped Carol for something he thought
was better.”
McCain is the classic opportunist. He’s always reaching for attention and
glory,’ he said. After he came home, Carol walked with a limp. So he threw
her over for a poster girl with big money from Arizona. And the rest is
history.’
Ross Perot, a billionaire Texas businessman, and a former presidential
candidate, who paid her medical bills all those years ago, now believes
that both Carol McCain and the American people have been taken in by a man
who is unusually slick and cruel – even by the standards of modern
politics.

let me paraphrase
Lesson one , book one, page one, grade one, knowwutImsayin yo don’t kill yo neighbuh’s for they’s tennis shoes yo !
In liberalism thats an intrusion on your constitutional rights!
The book of marx prevails.
good one.
Why is this unfair? because knowwutImsayin everybody done evolvuated from apes or whateva
So since we alls done come from apes or monkeys? then everyone done’s evolvulated different like. So if someone evolvulated from an angry ape? then they is mo likely to be like mo angry. So its natural for they’s to be like violent all dat, so it aint’s they’s fault. But whitey done controlls the system so that its all the Negro’s fault because, well according to science and evolution da Negro is not as evolvulated, they still has the wide nose and aint as smart.
You think Im joking? This is what progressivism teaches. all humanoid life evolved from apes randomly, so literally, some humans are more inclined to violence than others who evolved differently so our laws are unfair because this is not taken into account. The communist progressives want total domination of humanoid life so they can sort out who evolved from what ape and build a society thats fair for everyone.
Of course religion must be outlawed, and America is suffering, the progressives say, because of the superstition of religion and the worst offense is from Christianity because of the bible. The progressive belief system declares religion to be a type of mental illness but because there appears to be a psychosomatic benefit from church? let the fools gather. but notice if the Christian belief should go outside the church building? the intense outrage?
The lawsuits at Christmas time? the atheist groups who put their docuforgery shows on tv near Easter and Christmas? Discovery channels, TLC, National Geographic, the History channel, Science channel, all of these are hardcore atheist, hardcore anti Christian.
we need a modern day Joe McCarthy to identify and chase out the lousy communists who have infiltrated and found comfort in the liberal left democrat political movement

“Discovery channels, TLC, National Geographic, the History channel, Science channel, all of these are hardcore atheist, hardcore anti Christian.”
LOL, and you wonder why the uneducated are republicans. They just don’t know better gosh darn it.
Being a Christian doesn’t denounce science. Being a true Christian realizes that GOD is ALL powerful and the hints that He gives us in knowledge is a blessing. Some are afraid as Bradley and can’t imagine a God that is so powerful and giving. They are based in fear instead of knowledge. Bradley, get some education. Knowledge doesn’t denounce God, only ignorance shames the power God has given you.
Bradley, stupid is not what God inspires you to be, go beyond your ignorance and strive to be a better informed person.
September 23rd, 2008 at 12:44 am
The American economy is screwed up because American people screwed it up. Americans shop price. Made in America does not matter to Americans, price does. American people barrowed money at an alarming rate, got in over there heads, and suddenly found themselves struggling to pay it back which brought on the credit crisis. Blame Bush for this crap? Boycot made in China for example and China would fall, American manufactures who outsource to places such as china would lose money hand over fist. In other words, hit them where it counts, in the wallet. If Americans elect Oboma and he gets his way to tax the hell out of the oil companys, the oil companys will only pass the cost on to the consumer and gas will cost more. (And you think gas is high now.) By the way, Americans want low prices on gas. Remember, price matters to Americans, not where it comes from.

You only care for them while they are in the womb, when you want to exert control over women, once they are born, you can reek horror and death on them as long as you call it “collateral damage”, and the rich make their profits.
The greatest problem for the left is that they do NOT keep “tight control of their peeps.”
That is why Republican John Dean has said that the right depends on ‘followers who need to blindly follow an authoritarian leader, and then they will follow him over the cliff’
That is EXACTLY what we saw with Bush/Cheney. AND what we see now with McCain.

After 40 years of Intelligence service I can just say look and watch. Look at Obama’s friend’s Islamic terror operatives. Rev. Wright preacher of Racist William Ayers radical terrorist. Farakhan.

Old Lefty. You are either a pathological liar or a miserable pervert. You twist and lie constantly. You must be a paid propagandist for the Democratic Party. Lets cut to the chase. Obama is a lying class envy socialist communist gay Islamist terrorist supporter. Simple that is it. Obama received more money or bribes from Fannie May then any one. Obama was financed by Ayers and various Middle Eastern covert financiers. I just retired from an Intelligence service and I can tell you with out a doubt. Obama and a handful of Democrat politicians are funded by Iranian Intelligence. They say Obama is their secret weapon. Also George Soros is a KGB operative. The Democratic party has been compromised. Laugh all you want. It will come out very soon. Soros will have a accident soon because he has been compromised. Obama is a traitor and will destroy this country if elected. Lefty you are a fool. a liar and a political whore and useful idiot. By the way you have been on a watch list for over 15 years. Now your controlers will have to comprimise

With all the “you liberals believe this” or “you conservatives hate that” … is it really any wonder that America is in the condition that it is? It’s always “us against them”.
People are quick to quote the Bible to prove a point but there are several quotes that would serve us all well to live by – regardless of whether or not you believe in God, Jesus, or the Easter Bunny.
1) – Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.” (Matthew 12:25) … Why in the world can we not discuss our differences, pull the best of the best, and work together to save our nation? I don’t understand all the hatred… and that brings me to…
2) – He answered: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’ ; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ (Luke 10:27)…. Whether people love God or not is between you and Him and I won’t judge on that – but if only we could love our neighbor (and that doesn’t mean the person just living next door), respect each other in spite of our differences and help each other in times of trouble, America would be stronger, the government smaller, and all this mindless bickering would cease.
Contrary to popular belief, Democrats are NOT inherently evil God-haters and not all Republicans are stupid hate-filled neo-cons. There are extremists on both sides of the aisle and it is those extremes that are dangerous for our country.
In my humble (and possibly pessimistic) opinion … America is in trouble regardless of who wins this election unless her people stop hating each other and work together.
Sermon over. God bless.

Where are the Democrats that you say are out there who are sensible and willing to contain the idiocy of this woman? You can’t complain about Republicans and others who point this out. This ‘both sides do it’ nonsense is letting one side off big time.
September 23rd, 2008 at 5:16 pm
Vince,
I’m not “complaining” about anyone. I simply have made the observation that people don’t even speak to each other with civility regarding our differing opinions. I’m not saying “All hail the Democrats”… but I’m not saying “All hail the Republicans” either.
The other point I was trying to make was that when people pull out the Bible to make their case – and I do it often – they better take into account the entire gospel not just what suits them.
You are correct – there is blame on both sides and for any party to relieve themselves of that responsibility is a disservice to the nation.
September 23rd, 2008 at 6:04 pm
Strange: thank you for your informative post. I, as a woman, find it beyond belief that any woman would vote for anyone that would demean a woman in such a cruel manner. Those behaviors exhibit a total lack of empathy.He seemed to exhibit more feelings for his fellow servicemen than for his wife and mother of his children.
September 23rd, 2008 at 8:14 pm
I am assuming you hold the same standard for former President Bill Clinton who had numerous affairs while married to Hillary? How about John Edwards? The Kennedy’s? JFK foold around. Did it affect their ability to do their job? Democrats once upon a time said private life was to remain private.
Oh how your spin has changed.
Half of Washington has been married, re-married left wives, left husbands, cheated, lied, and been caught. They are human, not perfect, not gods.
If you want to find a man or woman without sin in their past to run for office just leave the office empty.
You only want to throw rocks when it is convenient, as always. I don’t know about you, but I certainly don’t want my entire character, my entire future to be judged on some of the mistakes I have made.
Do you?
September 23rd, 2008 at 8:47 pm
Shame on you T, an utter hypocrite. ‘Throwing rocks when it is convenient, judging careers and entire futures on mistakes’ is your modus operandi to a frigging t.
‘Iran is a small country’, ‘Clinging to guns and religion’, ‘Unrepentant terrorist’… deliberately misinterpreting quotes, blowing casual associations out of proportion, perpetuating vicious slurs. T Mason tactics, every one.
Never an acknowledgement that Obama has the cleanest ethical history of any candidate in the last thirty years, that his remarkable achievements are all based on his own character – no rich family to fall back on there, that his happy, well adjusted family has never been compromised by sexual dalliances.
And your amoral guy (he broke up that Carol woman’s marriage twice!), with all his bent associations -Keating, Iseman, Joe Bananas for starters, history of misusing his authority (the drug thief’s diplomatic passport, hounding Gosinski the whistleblower), heartless treatment of MIA families to prevent his own military/POW records being exposed, his shameless lies and smears in this very campaign… this guy is without fault.
You disgust me.
September 23rd, 2008 at 10:00 pm
Well, I must be doing something right.
Obama did say Iran is small. I am glad to see you brought up the other assanine comment he made about guns and religion.
Maybe you should read the WSJ and find out that Ayers is NOT a casual association like Obama’s campaign wants the American people to think.
I’m not the hypocrite here. Anyone on the left who points a finger at McCain for infidelity is a HUGE hypocrite considering Washington is FULL of it. ON BOTH sides. Wasn’t it the democratic party who said that a man and wife’s personal life should be left out of politics?
Thought so.
I can’t acknowledge Obama has a clean history of 30 years, many of his years are still a mystery. You don’t want to talk about his ties to William Ayers, Tony Rezko and others you only want to talk about an infidelity. Wanna bring up his trips to kenya? I can assure you, no politician’s nose is clean. NONE of them.
And I think even Obama said McCain’s military service should be honored? He is one of the many who have worn the uniform so we can sit on here and bicker. Right?
As far as having a modus operandi, I think the democrats have that one nailed down. Crucify a guy for an infidelity(60% of Americans have had affairs), all the while thumbing your nose at anyone who wants to bring up ANYONE or ANYTHING from Obama’s past.
How convenient. And, I might add, hypocritical.
September 23rd, 2008 at 10:25 pm
“Never an acknowledgement that Obama has the cleanest ethical history of any candidate in the last thirty years, ”
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHHAHW BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

I have to second the “HAHA” by Vince. Now, Obama has a clean *marital* history I think. I think he’s not a womanizer, which is an interesting change from the Kennedy-Clintonesque-type Democrat womanizer.

Yeah, I guessed that would be the reaction. Such shallow, hateful people.

I learned that whenever a Lefty throws some petty insult at someone either that someone is the opposite of the insult , or the insult describes the Lefty.

Waiting on those 30 reporters to be dropped in Obamaland to investigate his past dealings with OH so many that he brushes off as casual acquaintances.
Most ethical candidate? I am still laughing about that one this morning.

Mr. McKee,
Please enlighten us with the specific “remarkable achievements” of America’s antichrist. A community leader who left no legacy, and a senator without a bill to call his own. Again, no legacy, and a family living in a poverty that he shows no interest in. What a remarkable achievement indeed.
