Washington Whispers by Paul Bedard

McCain Says the Media Loves Barack Obama

July 22, 2008 04:45 PM ET | Paul Bedard | Permanent Link | Print

It really didn't work for former President George H.W. Bush in 1992, but that isn't stopping the McCain campaign from slapping down the media for its fawning coverage of Sen. Barack Obama's overseas trip. Today, the campaign had a little fun, asking supporters to vote for the best love song the media could sing to the Democrat. Bush tried a similar trick in his losing bid to Bill Clinton. I recall being on a trip to Grand Rapids, Mich., near the end of that campaign where supporters were given a red hat that read: Annoy the Media Re-elect Bush. I think I traded a Browning hat for one, and I still have it as one of many campaign souvenirs.

McCain would ruin America

The United States would be destroyed by a third term of Bush which is what you would get with McCain, See http://www.Democracy-Now.us

MCCAIN AND THE MEDIA

MY OPINION OF HIS COVERAGE ; OR LACK THEREOF: I THINK THE MAJORITY OF AWARE JOURNALISTS REALIZE THAT JOHN MCCAIN IS A LESS THAN REAL 'HERO'. THEY HAVE TO BE AWARE OF HIS REAL BEHAVIOR AS A POW. TO ALSO KNOW OF HIS INFIDELITY AND ABANDONING HIS FIRST WIFE- SERIOUSLY INJURED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT. HIS RUTHLESS TREATMENT OF RELATIVES OF MIA'S. HIS CONCEALMENT OF POW FILES AND DEBRIEFINGS. HIS BEING ONE OF THE SWINDLER CHARLES KEATING...THE ' KEATING 5 ' SENATORS...FROM WHOM HE RECEIVED OVER $100,000 AND 3 FREE BAHAMAS VACATIONS. HIS NASTY SIDE, ETC,ETC...MORE THAN THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND THEIR FEELING IS THAT A PERSON LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT BE PRESIDENT OF THE U.S.A. AND I THINK WE SHOULD RETIRE GEORGE BUSH SENIOR ONCE AND FOR ALL TIME--FROM WRECKING THIS COUNTRY ANY FURTHER ! IT WAS NO COINCIDENCE THAT MCCAIN WAS AT BUSH SENIORS HOME IN MAINE THIS WEEK.....SENIOR IS STILL PULLING THE STRINGS...OR TRYING TO! DON'T BE FOOLED AGAIN..PETER IGNAGNI

"Sensible Left"?

It has been proven over and over again that there is little sensible on the Left in Washington politics. Obama is as far Left as you can get. He is appealing not to "sensible" voters but those who lack the objectivity to pick the right man for the job not the right set of promises.
