Scrub a dub dub: JohnMcCain.com removes McCain calling himself "The One" from website
By John Amato Sunday Aug 03, 2008 2:00pm 
(fixed) It looks like John McCain's people are at it again. They just released an attack ad against Obama trying to make him the anti-Christ and calling Obama: The One. As they did with their "Celebrity" attack ad scrubbing on their website---it seems that they have scrubbed away John McCain saying that he is in fact: The One.
John McCain's Experience Sets Him Apart In The Presidential Field
John McCain: "The difference between me and Mayor Giuliani and Governor Romney [is that] I fought against the failed Rumsfeld-Casey strategy and advocated for the policy that is succeeding. I'm the one that did that. I'm the only one. And I said it in the summer of 2003, and I said it and I predicted that that strategy would fail because it was a terribly flawed strategy and I advocated the one that is succeeding now. That's based [on my] military experience from service for many years on the Armed Services Committee as well as in the military." (WKXL Concord, 9/4/07)
This is the first time I've seen the blogger "mithridates"
I decided to see if there are any references on McCain's site to himself as "the one", and lo and behold there's one page, but it's been deleted. Google has the cache though.
If it was no big deal to McCain---why the scrub? I may have to start a new category called McCain scrubbing.
UPDATE: (Nicole) Wow. McCain really does think he's the One.
Thursday, McCain called Debra Bartoshevich, the Racine County resident who lost her delegate seat at the Democratic National Convention for endorsing McCain instead of Obama, a "person of great courage" for endorsing him.
"Perhaps your reward will be in heaven - not here on Earth," McCain told Bartoshevich as he addressed the Civic Centre crowd.
So he thinks God is tallying up the delegate count and will reward those who vote for him?

Foooooooiiiiiist!
Wow...whole lotta scrubbins goin on at the ol' McCain site.
No matter how astounding this stuff is, it seems we (you) are preaching to the choir. There seems to be a new class of 40%ers, upon whose deaf ears this falls.
McCain also scrubbed all mention of his white grandmother.
Wow, scrubbing/altering the past. Just like herr dubyah....go figure.
Where one earth is Obama on all this? Where are his ad's showing McCain to a compelte hypocrite? Nowhere. Obama may think he is taking the high road but he will soon find out it is the long road to nowhere if he does not respond properly top McCains claims.
Looks like somebody in McCain's shop is angling to be the next Administrator of the EPA.
I think what John McCain means when he called himself "the one" was that way back when he was born, he was the only "one" on earth, as in the first man. He's that old.
Meanwhile, Mittens Romney is back!
Dr. Britney Hussein Matt @ 5:
Sorry for his "fans", but I have no sorrow for Robert. He has done too much skewing of facts and bending of History to illicit any sorry from me.
He could redeem himself by coming out with the truth before his last days (IMHO).
If this continues, McSenile’s website will be a blank page, like his brain.
Google link doesn't work... scrubbed that as well.
Great work.
But mccain will never scrub the stained bush legacy, that he supported.
It has been my opinion in the last seven years that Bush is the AntiChrist....
After that earth shattering speech Obama did in Germany last week, I figured it was only a matter of time before the religious right decided he was the new AntiChrist. It appears McSame is going into full mud slinging mode and NOTHING IS SACRED! I expect him to start working assassination into his speeches or ads in the near future. I am so sick of this lousy election. I need to see my doctor and get some "check out" pills to sleep through the next three months! I've stopped watching the Sunday talking head shows, and only watch local news, Keith Olbermann, and Jon Stewart.
Noah @ 8:
Maybe he was Cain... The scripture says that Cain has a mark upon his head (it could very well mean his face).
I retired from R. "chicklet" Novak when he outed Plame.
We need to make an ad for McCain Soap. The only soap that can scrub away the truth.
wait.... i'm confused here mccain is the one? so he's like neo? wow!
so like obama's like mr. anderson 'n' stuff?
faaaaantastic
ummmmm
who's morpheus?
oo!
or is it more like the highlander? yeah!
swords 'n' lightning an stuff.
"there can only be one"
this is soooo exciting.
Off Topic, Is it true that McCain is up 11 points in the Gallup Poll? If so, we are a nation of dumb-asses.
Google cache of "I'm the one" is here.
America needs to vote in the Republicans!
Millionaires are paying too much in taxes!
Middle American families have destroyed the financial system, and decimated large commercial banks with their uncontrolled speculation in housing, with their lying on loan applications, and falsifying their tax returns!
There is too much oil in Alaska to let a few seals and moose get in the way!
Oil companies could make us awash in oil if we could just do away with the ecologists and regulation!
Lets stopping thinking of rewards in the afterlife Grandpa McBush... because you can't debate that kind of thinking, and you know what? The same people who made your public life relevant (the 9/11 Hijackers) thought their reward was in the same Heaven too, buddy.
Liberal AND Proud @ 21:
If Obama gets in, he'll enslave us all! He'll unleash the Islamic hordes!
The Democrats have destroyed the economy in roughly 24 months of having majority power. They must be removed from power!
The free market must be unleashed to save us! We must remove ALL corporate taxes immediately! We must make the capital gains tax rate...ZERO! This will allow industry to GROW, and for funds to trickle down on the rest of us!!
P.D. @ 19:
No. It's not true. Gallup Daily: Obama 46%, McCain 43%
WorshipVote for me, and you'll be saved from your sins so that you can go to Heaven. Gee, doesn't that sound familiar.Dr. Britney Hussein Matt @ 24:
Or this one: As of 08-04-08 at 1PM
LATEST CNN POLL: BARACK 51% - MCCAIN 44% ... The lead grows as the Crooked Talk Express gets mired in mud....
Dr.@24, It's still too close for me. But if the Repugs keep up the melodramatics, I'm afraid the average Joe Schmoo will by it.
They can scrub-a-dub all they want but the Republican "Stain" on this country will never be removed. The Repukes themselves have contaminated their own "brand". It's over for the GOP - totally and unequivocally OVER!
P.D. @ 27:
Your right PD ... never underestimate the ignorance of the masses.
P.D. @ 27:
The sick republicans have taught the people to not believe a thing they say. Bush has changed semantics and definitions to the point where everyone now "knows" that the talking points and spin are nothing more than lies and disinformation. Bush & his cohorts in congress have brought the art of "disinformation" to a new height so even a 5 year old knows not to believe anything he hears on television or emanating from the mouth of government employees.
They can try to smear Obama with their tricks and chicanery but nothing will stick because their tactics are so "textbook" now and so comedically obvious.
The young people in this country are much more intelligent, savvy, and politically astute than the enders. The young people of this country will not be deceived by obvious charlatans, quacks, and liars. The young people of this country will actually "save us from ourselves" and "show us the way". They will take the mantle of power back for the people in 08. Of this we can be certain.
ciloisin @ 6:
John Kerry tried to take the high road . . .
You mean that Elton John wasn't singing about John McCain in that song?
Five Thirty-eight analyzed the July numbers for Obama a couple of days ago, and compared them to Kerry '04. Obama has a better lead than Kerry did.
I'm thinking the poll numbers would be higher for Obama if pollsters did more cell phone polls, since more and more people (especially younger and minorities) give up their landlines and use cells exclusively.
Besides, even if you don't like Obama, what is the alternative? Four more years of a Bush Redux? Four more years to tank this democracy? Four more years of corruption and fascism? Four more years of the erosion of the middle class? I think not.
McSame IS McBush - nothing else needs to be known.
☻..Bangkok Bob..☻♫♪ Sawatdee @ 26:
Obama hits the 50% mark.....what a great "trend"!
Well, at least we aren't hearing about the so-called "moral issues' that much anymore. I guess the Repugs can't bash gays and lesbians like they used too. Americans are now worried about holding on to their homes and feeding their families instead of Dave and Steve getting married.
Now I'm confused. I thought McLame's thing was hanging out around the gates of hell with OBL?!?
osiris @ 30:
The young people of this country are being educated to love money, toys and power. They are being taught that if they play the system, they can retire by 35.
Sorry...you are wrong, sir.
I'm telling you right now, and you heard it here first: McCain will win this election. Obama is sitting still and taking it, just like Kerry did. Obama thinks the people are smart and know better. Well, surprise surprise: they don't, given they are neck and neck in the polls- and the real smears have yet to even really start.
Blue Buddha @ 33:
You got it! It's all about the young people. And this is where the Gopiglets are underestimating things. They have the polls corrupted and propagandized so they mean very little at this point. Just look how they corrupted the pre-polls AND fixed the exit polls after stealing the election in 04!
P.D. @ 19:
McCain 43% Obama 46% http://www.gallup.com/
After Sen. Obama mentioned last week that one way to get better gas mileage was to be sure your tires were correctly inflated, the McCain campaign is now handing out little tire gauges with something silly on them like Obama's energy plan. You can almost see the next McCain attack ad coming. Obama's energy plan (and they will show that tire gauge) Senator McCain's energy plan (and they will show offshore oil rigs)
I wish there was a god keeping score of who voted for what because everyone who voted for bush in the last two elections should be listed under "Rejected"
osiris@30, Well said! I hope you are right. 2004 was one of the most depressing year of my life. I couldn't believe Bush was re-elected(maybe, depends on who you ask). That is why I lost faith in many of my American brethern.
Dr. Britney Hussein Matt @ 35:
McCain is finished! From here on forward, Obama's polls will rise despite not including young people on cell phones. When you factor that in, the difference is explosive.
Swing Vote just opened to record crowds and I happened to notice the median age of the audience - our youth! They will not be corrupted by putrid propaganda. They know truth and haven't yet been seduced by the illusion of power through greed and corruption and they will ultimately "save us" from self-destruction.
It's not only imperative that a Democrat wins the White House to clean up the criminals of this administration; it's a matter of survival of this country of ours.
Surging Blue Lensman @ 37:
He commutes between heaven and hell on the straight talk express.
Here's a video of a Carter-Reagan debate from 1980 . What GOP deity Reagan says in the second half should be used by the Dems in an ad . It is short, to the point, high road and will make the GOP wince. Use it Dems. Or are you actually TRYING to lose this election ?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8deEp4WT7A
pissed off patricia @ 42:
When this democracy tanks, we can all send "thank you cards" to every Republi-scumbag we know.
Steve @ 39:
You definitely have a point. No one ever really discusses racist America either. It does exist.
On a related note, I was listening to BBC music radio and one of the guests was admiring Obama, the host (in all honesty) said something about it being too bad that Obama will end up being assassinated, because he clearly would be a good president. The world really does think we are a bunch of racist redneck yahoos.
pissed off patricia @ 45:
Ahhhh . . I thought it was Cindy's meds that were causing all the ups and downs in his temperament.
Let's try that again :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wi9y5-Vo61w
imagine the impact this information would have if the MSM were to actualy take notice. i know it would take the teeth out of the ads, and in turn the ads would not be the topic of debate for days on end. so MSM would need to find something else to go on and on about to fill the 24/7 time. Mybe that is why they do not look too closely.
CMINCA @ 48:
If that happens...this country deserves what it gets.
Scrub a dub dub: JohnMcCain.com removes McCain calling himself “The One” from website
Interesting thing is One always meant in the theology of numbers God, 2 Jesus, and 3 Holy Ghost.
So is mccain calling himself God?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiKcd7yPLdU
i would vote for mccain if..........
he gets elected, we can go back to
the roman way of problem solving
and put all the christians in the arena
with lions. i am so sure god will
protect them......lol
Liberal AND Proud @ 38:
I agree. The ignorance, apathy, and consumerism grows larger with each generation. Coupled with fear and frustration, we have a recipe for social and political disaster.
The Education system is crumbling to the point that Creationism is being taught again as science. Even wacky fundamentalist youth pastors have more credibility than degreed teachers.
With each day, we grow closer to the end of our democracy and Republic. And they said what happened in Nazi Germany could never happen here.
Wrong.
McCain actually refers to himself with as "one who's ready to lead" in his latest campaign ad.
Admittedly he's referring to himself as "one", and not "the one," but after watching the Moses ad, I almost felt like McCain was telling me that "the one" (Obama) is "ready to lead" despite the previous ad anointing him as such and saying he's not yet ready.
I don't know enough about psychological coding to say what effect this is designed to have, but it sure caused a mental hiccup for me.
the link to McCain's ad didn't work right:

sassafra @ 18:
I think it's more like a Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode and any time now McCain will hatch some big ugly bug demon out of his head that will go on a "Drill Here! DRill Now!" rampage!
Then Obama, the Vampire Slayer can kick his ass back to hell!!
McCain is an ass along with Debra. Debra was chosen by her community to represent her democrats. If she got pissed because Hillary didn't win and turned around and said she would vote for McCain therefore, she isn't representing her community. She is no hero she is a Zero.
