Go Home

How lucky for McSame that the "suspending" of his campaign has distracted the mainstream ("ooh, look at that shiny object!") media from discussing further Palin's substance-free meetings with foreign heads of state and Rick Davis' continuing ties to Freddie Mac.

Luckily, unlike John McCain, we here in the blogosphere are capable of juggling more than one ball in the air. Lindsay Beyerstein has done some basic investigation (remember when the mainstream media practiced journalism?) and found that the McCain campaign, is just not being honest:

The McCain campaign claims that campaign manager Rick Davis separated from his lobbying firm, Davis Manafort, in 2006:

In fact, the allegation is demonstrably false. As has been previously reported, Mr. Davis separated from his consulting firm, Davis Manafort, in 2006. As has been previously reported, Mr. Davis has seen no income from Davis Manafort since 2006. Zero. Mr. Davis has received no salary or compensation since 2006. Mr. Davis has received no profit or partner distributions from that firm on any basis -- weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual -- since 2006. Again, zero. Neither has Mr. Davis received any equity in the firm based on profits derived since his financial separation from Davis Manafort in 2006.

This record, which I retrieved from the Virginia State Corporations Commission shows that Davis is still an officer/director of Davis Manafort, Inc. He is also currently the clerk/treasurer of Davis Manafort Partners, Inc.

Corporate officers/directors don't necessarily get paid and don't necessarily "receive equity" based on the profits of the corporation. But whether Davis has been paid, or received any equity based on Davis Manafort's profits since 2006 is a separate question from whether he retains a connection to the firm.

And as Newsweek cited, "the arrangement was approved by Hollis McLoughlin, Freddie Mac's senior vice president for external relations, because 'he [Davis] was John McCain's campaign manager and it was felt you couldn't say no.'"

Rick Davis: The New Jack Abramoff!!!

My friends, for five and a half years I was afraid to lie and so I told them everything that they wanted to know and they called me songbird.

I'm making up for lost time and I get to lie all I want. Also: cheat, steal and slander.

Them gooks wouldn't let me do that, either.

My friends, I have never heard of Rick Davis. I refuse to discuss this matter further.

My friend, if you buy that line of reasoning I've got some very undervalued properties I've cleverly overbought that I'd be willing to let you have at a very reasonable price.

You're not really buying that bilge are you?

McCain's pattern of privatization

Sept. 22: Newsweek's Jonathan Alter discusses an article written by John McCain explaining his visions for the healthcare industry to be deregulated the same way the banking industry was before the current crisis.

OK, this has GOT to be the last straw. If the dems let mcinane get away with this sabotage power grab, they will truly be shown to be inept at power politics. I hope obama didn't just walk into a trap; it looks like he did, with the complicity of bush working with mccain and house repubs.

McSame was going to fire the SEC Commissioner Cox. Maybe he should practice by firing Davis! You can tell the values of a leader by the people that work for them. McGramp's advisors have included Whinner Gramm, Golden Parachute Fiola, Moosehunter Palin, and now this slime bag. WAKE UP AMERICA!!

From the article And as Newsweek cited, “the arrangement was approved by Hollis McLoughlin, Freddie Mac’s senior vice president for external relations, because ‘he [Davis] was John McCain’s campaign manager and it was felt you couldn’t say no.’”

What is this? Cosa Nostra? They made him an offer he couldn't refuse?

Of course the McLame campaign is run more like "Our Gang" then "Our Thing" but this kind of in-bed-with-the-lobbyist thing just gets worse by the day for Johnny boy.

The reason the Obama campaign isn't all over McCain on this is cuz Obama has money tied to wall street corporatists as well. Obama's "no money from lobbyists" is a tiny step towards real campaign reform, but if you look close, his major backers are in all the bad places too (nuclear energy, the Saudi's, hedge funds) he just does it indirectly. It's like saying McCain doesn't take earmarks, when everyone knows McCain (in fact he does he just labels it something else) uses lobbyists ties to do the kickbacks.

I state this not as a non-endorsement of Obama, but as suggestion that the progressive cause needs to work towards choosing candidates that are transparent and not tied to the Corpo-fascist system of government that is destroying us.

I stated "needs to work towards". The fact that Obama won't take direct contributions from lobbyists proves it's a popular idea. Howard Dean in 04 and Obama's campaign prove it's possible with grassroots and the internet.

BB returns from the hospital with a Rant.

Looking back over the past eight years of this administration, I see
incompetence on a grand scale, an economy on the brink depression, a declining stock market, hundreds of thousands of jobs lost, huge deficits, borrowing money from China and other countries that are not necessarily our friends, high gas prices, a failed foreign policy, domestic uncertainty, the most secretive administration ever, dirty political tricks that make Richard Nixon look like a Boy Scout,outright lies, a war of choice, corrupt politicians, the housing
crisis, the mortgage crisis, large and small businesses going under, tainted
goods from China, global warming, our world-wide reputation ruined, our tainted food supply, WMD, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Abu Ghraib, and a host of other ills.

Who in his or her right mind would vote for another four years of a republican
administration?

What the rightwing has done during the Bush years, and accelerating now over the past four weeks, is to increase the entropy of news that hits the American public every day, trying to keep us confused, startled. If, for example, a voter doesn't know whether or not McCain is pro-regulation, no matter: that voter might still decide to cast his ballot for McCain because he was a POW and loves America.

Objective facts don't matter. Well, they might, if we had a media that would cut through the shit and tell us what is really going on. But we lack that, at least most of the time. We all saw Palin's interview with Gibson, and we all saw what an uninformed loon she was ... and even though some media called out her ignorance, other media were there, supporting her, saying that, well, there isn't just ONE Bush doctrine!

You think her sycophants won't do the same with her inane interview with Couric?

So now McCain has "suspended" (but not really) and withdrawn (or has he?) from the debate to return to DC, where he has not cast a Senate vote since April, in hopes of helping with finance reform (even though he admits he knows nothing about economics and isn't even on the banking committee).

That sort of shit is unprecedented in presidential-race politics. Suspend the campaign? Withdraw from a debate? Or, for that matter, choose someone as ignorant as Palin as a running mate?

We have not seen the last of the sinister stuff to proceed from the McCain campaign. And as the shit keeps hitting the fan, we'll become more and more accustomed to it, so that when McCain withdraws from the race at the end of October and Palin heads the ticket without ever having debated a Democrat, or when McCain replaces Palin on the ticket with Romney, citing the beating she's taken by the "liberal" media, no one will bat an eye.

If you think that America has changed over the past eight years with Iraq, torture, lies, economic meltdowns, scandals, etc., just stay tuned to the Palin administration. You ain't seen nothing yet.

i think you are quite correct. the US may be in a downward spiral of corrupt politics,quasi-fascism, theocracy, corporatism, and an imperialist foreign policy. bin laden said it, his goal is to bring down the US through economic bloodletting.

Morons indeed, but due to the creeping entropy, can anyone doubt that if this stuff had happened in 2000, before the eight years of Bush madness, candidate McCain would be 20 points behind in the polls?

I used to wonder the tiny details about how the Nazis came to power in Germany--a country that was just about as civilized and cultured as any at the time--and how they managed to wreak so much havoc in the name of bigotry, all the while destroying the very country they professed to love.

I don't wonder about it any more.

Living in Seattle I hear the same stuff re: Mr. Monopoly himself. It's easy when you personally make more income per ear than most nations on Earth to then decide to give some back. Great, Gates and Buffett are the top amongst the greediest, most power hungry thieves (Bill Gates has stolen more intellectual property than anyone in history) in history.

McCain Aide Claims Credit For Deal, Says "We're Going Into A Debate"

I know its painful but people need to see Doocy in action in this video. I stopped watching Fox about 4 years ago and started watching Keith faithfully about 3 years ago. I would get angry and surf for any different slant on news and luckily stumbled upon K.O.

Doocy's dumbshit look does belittles his evilness. A total hypocrite that is completely transparent and he does'nt give a damn about what anybody else thinks. He is, in other words, a perfect fit for the "we put out the lies so you lazy minds don't have to decide" network.
