OK, this post is in poor taste, but you have to admit, great title for the picture. Meanwhile, for those wanting an update on McCain's feeble attempts to look Presidential, he has arrived in London, and will start work immediately on his Friday fundraiser, taking a break tomorrow just long enough to meet with the Prime Minister so that he can bill the taxpayers for his, Lieberman and Graham's travel expenses. His campaign still has no comment on who is paying for this weeks trip by Chris McCain and the Blobettes.

The Iraq Truth McCain Will Not Speak-Five Years Later
Five Years Later-Was Iraq War Worth It?
Rather ironic that two high priests of the Church of Bush chose to set foot in Iranian soil today as that nation marks five years of war, five years of American occupation.
We all support the troops, yet this weekend as America celebrates the five year anniversary of the Iraq War, the milestone is hardly mentioned in the press here in America, more attention paid to McCain touching foot in Iraq than we are seeing given to this somber anniversary. A PEW poll released earlier this week found that 40 percent of Americans were unsure, did not know how many American troops had died in the war…for those wondering, we will soon reach the 4,000 number.
Taking exception to McCain’s rosy predictions where Iraq is concerned, I point out the obvious that he does not want to discuss.
1. Iraq is in the throes of civil war, the nation suffering from great political and military strife and uncertainty.
2. Despite claims that the SURGE is working, violence is rampant in Iraq, with the death toll of Irag citizens conservatively estimated to be over 89,000.
3. Life for women in Iraq has gotten far worse since the American invasion, many women having no choice but to turn to prostitution to survive, risking death if they are caught.
4. Unemployment and poverty rates are escalating.
Contrary to the false words of George W. Bush, no weapons of Mass Destruction have been found, no ties found to exist between Saddam Hussein and Al-Quida. Senator McCain would have us believe we are winning; have us keep our troops in Iraq, if necessary for another 100 years. Setting aside politics, setting aside party platforms and doctrine, was the Invasion of Iraq worth it?

Saddam's Irag Report Censored-McCain Breaths Sigh of Relief
Saddam’s Iraq Report Benched Due To Politics
Seems that the White House does not want we Americans to have EASY ACCESS to the Pentagon Report on Saddam’s Iraq. The report admits freely that no connections were found between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda, and Bush’s Administration thinks have that information and the report widely available to Americans is simply TO POLITICALLY DEVISIVE and has ordered the Pentagon not to post the report online in any manner.
The document was supposed to be available on the Joint Forces Command web site this afternoon. Soon after it was made available, the authors of the report were to have conducted a press briefing…that too was cancelled. Further, the Pentagon has announced that the report WILL NOT EVEN BE EMAILED to reporters…you can though request a CD copy of the report that will be sent out via first class mail at a date and time convenient to the Pentagon (Like after the fall elections).
When asked about their decision, low level scapegoats at the Pentagon would only say, “initial press reports on the study made it "too politically sensitive.” The study found no "smoking gun" or any evidence of a direct connection between Saddam's Iraq and the al Qaeda terrorist organization.
John McCain staffers had no comment on the Presidents decision, but rumors have it that FTD delivered a large bouquet of flowers to the White House this evening with a thank you note from John McCain.

Is God Calling on Evangelicals To Elect A Democrat?
by Sherwood M.
March 12, 2008 05:42 PM EDT
Pastor Jan Paulsen leads the 16 million member Seventh-day Adventist world church. In a recently published article (March issue of Adventist World) the pastor reiterates the church's long standing position held on non-combatancy. In the article, Clear Thinking About Military Service, this religious leader simply states that the decision to carry arms puts "the spiritual and moral foundations of your life in serious jeopardy." Another key passage from the article the pastor states, "the church must constantly reflect God's infinite, healing love."
The article raises, without actually stating it, "Is the Evangelical Christian Republican Base being called by God to back the Democratic Candidate for President?"
It is Jan Paulsen position, that because God values each human life, true Christians should never be involved in the taking of a life, even the life of our enemies. Looking at this statement, looking at the Republican Party's stance on abortion, their blind support of George W. Bush, their blind support of his War in Iraq would seem to put them at odds with their religion with their God. How can you support war, the needless killing of thousands of human beings yet claim yourself an Evangelical Christian?
McCain has made his position on war, on Iraq clear. He is fine with our troops dying in the desert sands for another 100 years, has no problems with the continued bloodshed in the Middle east in the name of United States interests. His positions, George W. Bush's doctrine seem to fly in the face of what true Christians are supposed to hold most sacred, the protection of and value of human life. If you carry arms, support others carrying them in your name, you are embracing and condoning the taking of human life. Paulsen writes about the Church's abandonment of CORE CHURCH VALUES regarding war:
"I have sensed, at times, a certain ambivalence toward our historic position, a sense, perhaps, that 'that was then, and this is now.' And yet I know of no reason why this should be so."
A commonly held truth in life is that you cannot serve two masters. You cannot claim to value human life, give any validity to your Pro Life position on abortion while at the same time beating the war drums and supporting Pro War politicians. Is God through Jan Paulsen calling on Evangelical Christians to set aside their red pompoms and vote for a candidate (Clinton or Obama) who want to bring our troops home sooner than later?

John McCain’s Money Beg Letter…Some Added Commentary
As a joke I made a contribution to George W. Bush a few years back to get my name printed in the Wall Street Journal. The various assorted perks included in that singular donation include getting almost every Republican fund raising letter shared with mankind. It seems appropriate to share one of the latest MONEY BEGS from John McCain with some added commentary…call it a truth in advertising addition to content.My Friends, (John…I can call you John can’t I...Lose this terminology, it even offends people in your own party, especially the Conservatives. We are not your friends; your wife would not add our names to her social registry. Her Daddy is a convicted felon, but his money buys her social stature.)
Last week, I was humbled to win the support of 1,191 delegates and officially become the presumptive nominee of our party. (Stop lying, you were relieved that Huckabee finally stopped being a bug up your ass.) It was a great honor to also receive the endorsement of President Bush (John, we watched the press conference, you looked liked a rabid raccoon caught in a snare…it was obvious you were pissed that Bush would not let you get a word in edgewise.) and visit the Republican National Committee to begin laying out our strategy for victory in November. We face a tough challenge, but I’m confident that together we will win.
It’s been a long journey. (Guys, I need a break here, not as young as I used to be, so can some of you step up and carry the ball for a few weeks while I try to recharge my battery?) While I would like to sit back and reflect on what we’ve been through over these many months, there will be time for that later. Right now, beginning today, we must join together as a party. (Come on Conservatives, I know I am not your man, but would you rather see Clinton or Obama in the Oval Office…trust me, once I bring Bush’s team on board, you’ll swear George Bush won a third term in office.) We must unite as we face either Senator Clinton or Senator Obama in November. I ask that you join me today and make a financial commitment to help our campaign replenish our resources to achieve our goals. ( I raised $12 million dollars last month, and the two Democratic heavyweights brought in over $80 million! I need money, and LOTS of it…who wants to buy some favor?
Now we move into the second phase of this campaign. Together, we must convince the American people that our shared conservative principles and my election as president, are in the best interests of the country we love. (You want to over turn Roe verse Wade, you want another Roberts or Alito on the Supreme Court, you had best get behind me and start singing my praises. Our ability to legislate morality, to force our religious views on the rest of the nation depend on keeping Republicans in the White House.)
And this will be, without question, the toughest phase. (We Republicans are not very well liked right now, hell we even have problems in our own party with defections every day as our base registers as Independents.) From this moment forward, whomever the Democrats choose, we will face a candidate directly opposed to us on every important issue facing our nation. (Permanent tax cuts for the richest Americans, destroying the middleclass, our oil war in
As I’ve said many times, this election is about big things. (The North American
We have prepared for this fight for a long, long time. It begins today. We’ve come this far. Let’s go on to victory. (Preserving the George W. Bush doctrine depends on you digging deep, giving until it hurts.)
Thank you,
John McCain
P.S. I cannot overemphasize how critical it is to rebuild our campaign resources as quickly as possible. (The Straight Talk Express is running on fumes, and Mitt Romney will not give me access to his donors unless I name him my VP.) I urge you to please make whatever contribution you can today, right now, by following this link. There will be no second chances in this fight. (Wink, wink…if we can keep things close, we do have the Supreme Court in our back pocket.) This is our moment to join together and show the strength of our party. (Come on Conservatives, stop your grousing and get in line…I need Ann Coulter’s endorsement, and Rush needs to be attacking Clinton, not me.) Thank you.
AFL- CIO Attack Will Crash McCain's Financial Boat
As the Clinton-Obama slugfest moves on towards Pennsylvania where the Democratic Party Nomination Title Fight will be won or lost McCain finds himself about to face the blistering heat and might of a $50 million dollar ad attack launched by the AFL-CIO on his economic policies or lack thereof. The $53 Million dollar anti-McCain campaign is a record advertising blitz by the largest union in America, and comes at a time when everyone agrees McCain's financial boat is not in order...countering the blistering attack may be impossible for McCain even with the RNC now fully (almost) behind his run for the Presidency.
In other disturbing McSame news, word on the street is that Mitt Romney's appearence on FOX with Hannity last night came after a push from White House insiders who are now fully supporting him as McCain's Vice Presidential choice. The further down the road the McSame Express goes, the more this is looking like a third Bush term in Office in all but name only.
In a ODD twist, also involving another Bush Administration connection, McCain last week got the support of America's Catholics...what is odd about it, is there is now ANOTHER KEATING involved in McCain's political career.
