McCamp To Minimize Appearances With Bush

NY Times:

Senator John McCain's campaign advisers will ask the White House to deploy President Bush for major Republican fund-raising, but they do not want the president to appear too often at his side, top aides to Mr. McCain said Sunday.

After a weekend of strategy meetings at Mr. McCain's Arizona ranch -- in a sense, the first Sedona summit of the Republican Party's new leadership -- the advisers said that much remains undecided about coordinating the campaign with the White House and the party apparatus until Mr. McCain wins enough delegates to be the official nominee.

The GOP is the lame duck party.

[kroses98]

Tooooooooo Late for that!!!!!!! We have THE PICTURE!!!

The Picture of "THE KISS/HUG" And we will use it to the HILT!!!

[kentj]

McCain is a danger to humanity. He needs anger mananagement classes not an opportunity to finish destroying America.

McCain has equal amounts of innocent American and Iraqis blood on his hands. John McCain-Hillary Clinton, will continue George Bush's bloodbath in the Middle East. That is why change this election is so important in order to save human lives.

Barack Obama..... the democratic party candidate, is the only candidate who will lead the democratic party and the country to a positive change for all Americans.

[transendentilist]

Is this a sample of your "positive change?" Attacking a fellow dem? Lying, about a fellow dem?? This is change? This is hope???

[BlackWidowPilot]

That's right, girls, keep fightin' amongst yerselves! The Repedophiles love it...

Excuse me, Bush Sr., aren't those critics of McCain the same fundamentalist yahoos your party has been courting assiduously for the past generation. You know, the Real Americans (when the cameras are on) those bible-thumping hayseeds (when you're at the country club).

[Trittydi]

Senior Bush endorses McSane?

Well - he thinks his kid did a good job too.

[thegreatgiginthesky]

Bush's have a history of failure. It figures that a failure like Bush Sr. would endorse the candidate who is most likely to continue the failure

[glesslib]

The old man seems to have an IQ above 80, so I doubt that he thinks his son has done a good job. However, I blame Senior every day for this idiot being president. As a parent, he had to know W wasn't up to the job. Yet, he sent Baker to Florida to help steal the election. And the rest, as they say, is history. Methinks he had visions of being the top advisor to his clueless son, thus having a second term as president. Surprise, sonny wanted to play president. Nice job, Dad.
I hope senior Bush doesn't mind too much if I don't take his word on McCain.

[BlackWidowPilot]

Consider the tree from which George Herbert Walker sprang, namely Prescott Bush, unabashed Nazi supporter and traitor to our country during time of declared war.

While Georgie HW was flying a torpedo plane in the Pacific, Daddy Prescott was feathering his nest with cash made from trading with the enemy. I guess to the Bush family, profits are wherever you find them.

Explains a great deal about Chimpy and his no-bid contracts in Iraq for family cronies and Repedophile Party contributo­rs...

Does Bush Sr. have such a bad memory he forgot Bush Jr's slander of McCain's 'black babies'?

[JohnJames]

Yep. According to Rove's 2000 South Carolina push polls McCain had fathered an illegitimate black child and was suspiciously gay friendly. Repubs, do you really want to vote for a philandering, miscegenating homosexual?

[speakingtruth2power]

What are the Republicans thinking? Could there be some rational reason
for voting for the GOP to continue the actions of the last seven years. The
trolls here attempt to explain this but all I read from them is total BUSHIT!!!

[KarenZipdrive]

The idea that someone had to tell McCain to distance himself from that fucking moron Bush amply illustrates why McCain is too out of touch with reality to even be considered for the top job.
It's difficult for Walnuts McCain to distance himself from Bush when his lips are clamped so firmly around Bush's tiny manhood.

[andyboy]

McCain now says it was only a coincidence that at the same time he was offering "military information" in exchange for special medical treatment, his captors discovered that his father was Adm. John S. McCain Jr., commander of all U.S. forces in Europe and soon-to-be commander of all U.S. forces in the Pacific, including Vietnam.

Upon learning about McCain's father, the communists, in an unprecedented move, rushed McCain to one of their military hospitals where he received treatment not available for other U.S. prisoners of war.

[EyeWantOneNation]

Are you saying he gave up his own father ???

Wow - That's low !!!!

[cynicism101]

bullshit. Cite your reference!

(crickets chirping)

[RHM]

Gore did the same thing in 2000. He distanced himself greatly from Clinton. And he's about to do it again when he endorses Obama publicly.

RHM www.thecandidacy.comm)

[Superbus]

I guess that means Obama can kiss the nomination good bye he.

[Bobby]

Gore is the best President that Scalia and Thomas wouldn't appoint. 500,000 more people thought he should have been President in 2000. And MILLIONS now agree with those folks after 7+ years of the clusterfuck named Dumbya Bu$h.

[thegreatgiginthesky]

George W. Bush - alcoholic failure of a President who has an approval rating of 30%.

Al Gore - Nobel Peace Prize winner.

It is really hard to imagine who the people of the United States hold in higher esteem.

[BetterDeadthanRedState]

And he pays these advisors how much for this advice?

[speakingtruth2power]

Pretending that McCain is not contaminated by BushCo is like pretending your skunk sprayed dog doesn't wreak. It doesn't work and any one in the room will tell you that!

[CheshireCat2]

This is sort of a "no brainer," Isn't it? I mean it doesn't matter where you stand. I can't believe that some "adviser" got paid for this brilliant advice....­...

JOHN McCAIN's INAUGURAL SPEECH

I shall kill any “ist” , be it communist, terrorist or other “ist” in this or other world. I shall hunt them down. I shall find and kill them one and all, my friends.

And as for Saddam’s WMD, I commit to you now to find them straight away in my very exodus from our sacred country to the desert sands of Syria, Iran and Iraq beneath which (I am privy to intelligence in which all of our 16 agencies embrace with the highest of confidence) THEY ARE IN HIDING!

So it is that I pledge to you this day, just as I have voted to kill and conquer from sea to shining sea in paroxisms of homicide and destruction the entire intended Caliphate of the Radical Islamic Terrorists (the men, the women and the children) each of them constituting not just a grave, gathering but rather imminent threat to our very way of life (for the Koran is an evil, evil book and its soldiers wear no uniform when they come to kill) and because of that I say, my friends, that the United States Code of Military Justice and the power soon to be invested in me by the United States Constitution as your Commander in Chief will authorize me to even scalp and eat them on the killing fields immediately following our battlefield victory over them.

McCain 1999,

"I'd love to see a point where it [Roe v. Wade] is irrelevant, and could be repealed because abortion is no longer necessary. But certainly in the short term, or even the long term, I would not support repeal of Roe vs. Wade, which would then force X number of women in America to (undergo) illegal and dangerous operations­."

On McCain website today:

John McCain believes Roe v. Wade is a flawed decision that must be overturned, and as president he will nominate judges who understand that courts should not be in the business of legislating from the bench. Constitutional balance would be restored by the reversal of Roe v. Wade,

John McCain. What a fucking sell out liar.

[Superbus]

It's called changing your position, which is part and parcel in modern day politics.

[JoJoKewl]

It's called flip-floppin goofus.

[thegreatgiginthesky]

It is called flip flopping you lying sack of shit.

[Bobby]

It's called losing your dignity and integrity. But at least he has that in common with Dumbya.

[lornejl]

Honestly, why are you so proud of your ignorance ?

[cynicism101]

I think the bigger point here is the comment about ~"where abortion is no longer necessary"~

I would also like to see a time when abortions are no longer necessary. I'd also like to see an explanation of why they are necessary today? I'm willing to concede necessity in the case of rape, incest, or imminent peril to the mother. Beyond those cases, when is abortion necessary?

[ZHarris]

How about a fetus who is horribly deformed and likely to die a painful and slow death after birth?

How about a crack or alcoholic mother who knows she won't be able to bring a healthy baby to term?

How about we keep the government out of the decision and let women control their bodies?

[RobertaInCT]

Help! What happen to the pages? Why are they so short?

Please anyone....­......

[Bobby]

Yes, they are short. Short like Dumbya's intelligence. That intelligence is currently being transferred to McCain.

[RobertaInCT]

No transfer of intelligence necessary they are swimming the same pool....

[lornejl]

Anyone want to slam some beers with McCain ? That's the test you know, that's what makes someone presidential.

[JoJoKewl]

Hey I'll slam beers with Johnny MacPlaneCrash. Course - I'd slam beers with Jack the Frackin Ripper.

[lornejl]

That would be a little creepy, both Jack and John, but yeah, hell, a beer is a beer.

[Bobby]

I won't. He might get drunk and try to hug me, like he did to Dumbya. Speaking of Dumbya, the White House said Dumbya was drinking near beer in a G8 photo awhile back. But he sure has the hungover look at a lot of press conferences. I wish he was a near President. But Scalia, Thomas and the Supreme Court made the last 7+ years a living hell when they appointed him. Time for a beer, but WITHOUT McCain and Dumbya.

[NatteringNabob]

That, and if they drive a red pick-up truck.
