John Mccain Millions

Roll Call:

Sen. John McCain's victory in the Aug. 24 Arizona Republican primary was fueled partly by transfers of $7.5 million from his 2008 presidential campaign compliance fund -- an account GOP Congressional strategists are now eyeing as they look to finance a growing list of competitive midterm races.

Better watch out, John. The GOP already has it's eye on the Social Security trust. They'll be coming after your millions after that.

Arizonans are mad as he!! and won't take it anymore.

If you want to show everyone how mad you are, elect McCains opponent in the General election. McCain has his hand prints all over the problems this country is facing, make him pay.

That will get my attention.

McCain is going to be the GOPs new BFF -- well, at least until all of his $$$ is gone.

Just one more reason to vote for the challenger in this Novembers election.

So that's a total of about 100 reasons NOT to vote for mc drool.

TODAY’S REPUBLICANISM.....IS THE VICTORY OF THE "ID" OVER THE "SUPER-EGO"

Today's Republicans don't believe that intelligence, logic, compassion, honesty or an acknowledgment of historical facts or legal precedents are relevant or worthy of consideration.

Driving jobs out of America and Americans out of their homes is "just business" to them; nothing "personal".

Corporations should be given the same first amendment free speech rights as individual citizens so they can "buy" political candidates and elections, despite the fact that works against the best interests of working class Americans and further diminishes their political relevance/influence.

Pollution, global warming and deforestation are all improvable "myths" of egg-head/tree-hugger scientists who are “socialist†enemies of “over-regulated†capitalism. The earth, which is no more than 6,000 years old, will miraculously heal itself! All we have to do is “prayâ€.

For today's mercenary self-focused soulless hybrid of dysfunctional near-sighted Republicans, it's not about right or wrong, good or bad, fair or unfair, rational or irrational.....it's about power and control, even if that means intellectual, moral, psychological and functional ignorance, delusion, denial and dishonesty. They want what they want for no other reason than they WANT it……regardless of the consequences to themselves and everyone else! Somehow, that makes "them" feel good about themselves….makes them feel “safeâ€.
