He's off on a "Biography" tour, trying to attract the Independent male white "swing" voter upon which our last few elections have depended (to get the results close enough for the cheating with Diebold machines. minority disenfranchisement, fake polls and media spin to work.) Markos Moulitzos of DailyKos and Jame Hamsher of FireDogLake are ganging up on him to expose the fact that he's breaking a campaign finance law that HE helped introduce legislation for, and David Brock of Media Matters is letting people know that the media is giving McCain a Free Ride. Send your friends and family to McCain's Free Ride.com and encourage them to make McCain keep his campaign within the law.
JOHN MCCAIN DOESN'T KNOW WHETHER CONDOMS HELP STOP SPREAD OF STDS
Q: "What about grants for sex education in the United States? Should they include instructions about using contraceptives? Or should it be Bush’s policy, which is just abstinence?"
Mr. McCain: (Long pause) "Ahhh. I think I support the president’s policy."
Q: "So no contraception, no counseling on contraception. Just abstinence. Do you think contraceptives help stop the spread of HIV?"
Mr. McCain: (Long pause) "You’ve stumped me."
Q: "I mean, I think you’d probably agree it probably does help stop it?"
Mr. McCain: (Laughs) "Are we on the Straight Talk express? I’m not informed enough on it.
Yesterday Rachel Maddow said this on Countdown:
I feel like I‘ve become kind of a semi-pro listener to the news, where I‘m always listening for Democratic candidates and even their surrogates to say John McCain. Every time I hear them say it, a little bell goes off in my mind, because that‘s what I think Democrats—anybody who has an interest in John McCain not becoming president, whether or not you support Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton or Ralph Nader or anybody else in the race, Mike Gravel as the Libertarian, if you want John McCain to not win, you have to start hitting him now, because the default position of the press toward John McCain is so positive that unless other candidates are actively and specifically going after him all the time, his free ride takes him right to the White House.
Said Howard Dean:
“The tone has changed in the last three or four weeks. And the emotional content has increased to the point where it is in some cases unhealthy. If we have an ugly, divided convention, we will lose. John McCain is not a strong candidate for president. The only way we lose is if we are divided.”
