John McCain Cancels CNN Appearance After Campbell Brown's Bounds Interview

Broadcasting & Cable:

According to CNN, Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) pulled out of a scheduled interview with the network after a segment with Campbell Brown and a top McCain spokesman Monday night in which Brown asked for examples of a foreign-policy decision made by Republican vice president pick Sarah Palin.

McCain was scheduled to appear on Larry King Live, but CNN's Wolf Blitzer said Tuesday that the campaign told the news network they thought Brown's interview with spokesman Tucker Bounds was "over the line."

How is Palin going to reform Washington – can someone tell me? Are there any Republicans who are just about to retire or leave their jobs that we don’t know of? I doubt it. It’s the same Republicans for Bush and the same Republicans for McCain/Palin.

Don’t blame the Democrats blame Bush/McCain as they have been running the economy and responsible for the majority of all these bad decisions. Lesser of both evils has got to be Obama/Biden. Bush/McCain are for oil and for making profits by going to war. When you vote in November and vote for McCain think of war because this is what we are going to get. More of the same. The world is sick of war and we are sick of Bush/McCain. Bring something different to the table and the only ticket that can offer this is Obama/Biden.

All Bush / McCain have done in the last 8 years is add fuel to fire. Are we better off? America cannot afford to go to another world war, its occupying Iraq and Afghanistan and it will never succeed because Americans are seen as the aggressors even so the tribes who have been fighting for almost forever and with their backward social structure have deep rooted social economics problems to huge to resolve in a lifetime. Was Vietnam a success? No. Is Iraq a success? No. Internally America cannot resolve the oil crisis overnight, and not in 100 days. Bush had his chance. McCain will give you more of the same afterall he was trained by Bush.

Recently American trained Georgian troops killed Georgia citizens so that America would get its oil even though Russia never agreed to this independent state i.e. Georgia. Whilst Bush was watching the Olympic Games in Beijing like he was seen playing golf whilst American troops were fighting and being killed in Iraq and Afghanistan he was building McCain’s profile. McCain was to rush over and resolved this Georgian issue. But little did he know the Russian’s are not willing to back off their territory regardless whether George W Bush declared Georgia as an independent state via NATO or whatever. Does Bush/McCain want war with Russia? It sure looks like it. Do we want another war with Russia? No. Why is Cheney rushing over to Georgia and Azerbaijan? Because he is protecting his energy investments. That is ok but do you need to kill civilians to get that oil? Aren’t Republicans – Pro-life???? So why is there so much war???? So does the world see America as an aggressor? What do you think? Even so in the meantime America must buy on the world market until other strategies pull through. Bush /McCain had their chance but again they are looking for trouble in Russia's backyard and then wonder why there is a surge of terrorists. Could this be another Iraq? Lets count - how many war fronts are American troops fighting on? And boy don't we kill for the sake of democracy or in Bush / McCain terms - OIL.

Was there any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? No. It was a lie to the American people to pretend that Bush was doing something about Sept 11 (considering he has nadar foreign relations experience). The whole world including America is more dangerous in these last 8 years and the billion dollar star weapons can’t still find Bin Laden's cave. Everyone knows where Bin Laden is but McCain doesn’t then again some of you want him to lead the country. He has been sitting tight with Bush for the last 8 years. Surely he would have used his commander expertise and notified Bush where they can find Bin Laden and all these terrorists. Yes, McCain is portrayed as the one with foreign relations experience - think again he had 8 years to find Bin Laden. The truth is America cannot afford another war.

McCain won't save America - he wants war. Think about it while we the people have been ripped off, who has been making all these profits in going to war? Can anyone name these companies wreaking all the money? In the meantime we don’t have healthcare, taxes are high and ours houses are being devalued or about to be repossessed.

Can you let everyone know that Alaska does not have oil like Saudi Arabia, Iraq or Azerbaijan – it’s a facade a decoy hence why would McCain want to go Nuclear - Hello? (He's going nuclear because McCain knows, Bush knows, Palin probably does not know (because she is not a geophysicist and basically she is on a needs to know basis), the American people don’t know that Alaska cannot fuel America hence pointing towards Nuclear Power as the only solution - a second choice just incase. Palin is just a distraction to confuse the American people. The oil in Alaska will not save American economics. There is some but its not free flowing and its buried deep. It will destroy Alaska to drill it. What is the point of drill, drill and drill when nada is coming up - opps! In the long run the best source of energy is gas, wind, wave, solar that is all environmental energies though not biofuels as it depletes the soil that is the land that feeds us. The soil is important for human health. And going genetic modified does not resolve the issue as this causes human health issues. So if you think that Sarah Palin, the Energy expert is going to give you cheaper fuel think again – what makes you think that Oil companies are going to sell it for cheap? Even if you think they are American companies or McCain’s Government - I doubt it.

Republicans are bullies. I don't see them working for the American people but for themselves and their rich oil friends. McCain is the new Bush all over again. Remember, you are the product of your association. If McCain voted 90% with Bush then logically it is still the same party. It was ok to associate himself in the last 8 years so what makes it different now? Nothing. It’s the same. The point is same faces, same policies.

The media should continue to tell the truth about John & Sarah. The talk a strong talk, but shy away from the accountability to the public by talking to the media. J.Klein said it best-

What was wrong with Ms Brown's question, surely everyone is going to be asking him the
same question over and over again, it stands to reason for his VP choice after all.
I suppose that nobody has thought of an answer yet. Way to go!

[PurplePhase]

How ironic that the speakers at the Republican convention say McCain is the strongest for the job, he will take on tough assignments no one else can handle.

But when it comes to one interview, he crumbles and shies away from Larry King.

Go figure.

[Cram1]

But Campbell Brown is running scared today; to hear her today, you would almost think she's wearing a t-shirt under that suit that reads: "I'm Sarah Palin's #1 Fan." Disgusting once again. CNN doesn't make the journalistic cut.

Wow. See, I've spent my life trying to be a better distinguisher and teller of the truth. Tucker Bounds has devoted a huge segment of his life on Earth to learning how to lie.
