92. McCain wants a *clean* campaign for OH SO MANY reasons
First of all, none of this will be addressed by the McCain campaign and if the GOP is really, really smart they won't either. Here's why:

1. rezko - this will be brought up

(McCain's) Florida campaign co-chair and state Rep. Bob Allen was arrested Wednesday after offering to perform oral sex for $20 on an undercover male police officer.


GOP Arizona Rep. Rick Renzi -- the co-chairman of Sen. John McCain's campaign in Arizona -- has been indicted for extortion, wire fraud, money laundering and other charges related to a land deal in Arizona.


2. Wright - not his racist stuff, his GD america, his AIDS stuff, etc

http://www.talk2action.org/story/2008/5/1/11248/20491
(P)astor John Hagee, who has endorsed the presidential bid of Arizona Republican Senator John McCain, Jr., claimed that American public schools provide abortion services. Hagee stated, "Your daughter can get an abortion in public school without telling you but she can't get an aspirin without your approval." The pastor also claimed that public school teachers can force their students to study a "precursor to witchcraft" and suggests that America has invited "satan" and demonic spirits into its public school systems by failing to display the Ten Commandments on classroom walls. Presidential hopeful John McCain, Jr. has said he is "glad to have" Hagee's support and "admires" the leadership of the Texas pastor - who has declared God has cursed and doomed America.


3. Ties to terrorists - factual or not, tentative or not, there can be ties made to Ayers, Hamas, Auchi, Khalafi, etc

McCain finds his own radical friend
Steve Chapman
May 4, 2008

What McCain didn't mention is that he has his own Bill Ayers—in the form of G. Gordon Liddy. Now a
conservative radio talk-show host, Liddy spent more than 4 years in prison for his role in the 1972 Watergate burglary. That was just one element of what Liddy did, and proposed to do, in a secret white House effort to subvert the Constitution. Far from repudiating him, McCain has embraced him.

How close are McCain and Liddy? At least as close as Obama and Ayers appear to be. In 1998, Liddy's home was the site of a McCain fundraiser. Over the years, he has made at least four contributions totaling $5,000 to the senator's campaigns - including $1,000 this year.

-snip-

In 1994, after the disastrous federal raid on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, he gave some advice to his listeners: "Now if the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms comes to disarm you and they are bearing arms, resist them with arms. Go for a head shot; they're going to be wearing bulletproof vests. . . . Kill the sons of bitches."

-snip-

Liddy also said he should have recommended shots to the groin instead of the head. If that wasn't enough to inflame any nut cases, he mentioned labeling targets "Bill" and "Hillary" when he practiced shooting."




4. His cousin that he campaigned for in Kenya that promised to institute sharia law

Obama's campaign denies that Rajula and Obama are related; Rajula and Obama's father just happen to come from the same Kenyan village. To Rajula's credit, though, Obama's paternal grandmother says she considers herself a grandmother to Rajula, and Rajula is known for organizing part of Obama's itinerary when he visited Kenya (although Obama's campaign wouldn't comment on this).



5. his militant muslim brother

During last Thursday night’s debate in South Carolina, for example, McCain said: “I’m not interested in trading with Al Qaeda. All they want to trade is burqas,” he quipped, referring to a type of dress some women in Muslim countries wear.

Local Muslims say that criticising Al Qaeda is legitimate, but wonder why he would make a snide remark about a dress? The remark was especially bothersome, some said, considering that McCain’s adopted daughter, Bridget McCain, is from one of the biggest Muslim countries, Bangladesh.

Other thugs would be much more hesitant to challenge the peace - I rather think this strange Kim Jung-IL would be quietly listening to his single radio station, instead of waving in the air history's most dangerous kinds of weapon, like an infantile bully raging at those who would dare ignore him. He would welcome being overlooked.
-snip-
So now we must not hesitate. Or another moment is gone. Perhaps forever, this time. Who will believe us, in the future? Why should they? Uncle Sam with a big mouth and a paper hat.

And our allies? Ah, France and Germany don't want this venture, because they know how it would increase the influence of the United States, and cause a proportional decrease in theirs -- and their vanity. We can certainly understand why the princes and the dictators of the Middle East don't want us there. What gang wants a police station in their neighborhood?

We must do this.

And, then, folks, we must turn to North Korea. . . .

When laws are broken, somebody's got to be punished. In the case of Cindy McCain, that somebody is Tom Gosinski


6. flag pins, hand over the heart, and "proud of america"


What's there to say?


MCCAIN BONUS ROUND:

"McCain naively called it 'torture'. Fortunately some of his senior campaign people read STR (ShellyTheRepublican) and understood just how out of touch John was on this key issue. It’s great that John is the sort of person who listens to America - lets hope he listens to us on these important issues."

And in the banner: WE SUPPORT TONY ZIRKLE IN HIS WAR AGAINST JEWISH PORN!
