4. Because McCain is a liar
McCain needs to be taken down with this lie. This is over the line. He knowingly made a false statement this morning after the OBama campaign put out a PR saying that Raines was never an adviser. He is the scum of the earth.

7. McCain has no honor. He only cares about winning and will say or do whatever
it takes to accomplish that goal. As for GETV, their goal is the same as McCain's. GE is in the business of profiting from war.

3. Not only that...
But wasn't the guy in question the Fannie Mae CEO 10 years ago? Or am I mixing my stories?

5. In a world where...
...being close to Russia gives one foreign policy experience, saying "hello" to a guy once in a hallway somewhere means you have ties to them. This is consistent with their insane worldview.

14. Yeah, just like Saddam Hussein having an "operational relationship" with Al Queda
On the basis of a few fruitless meetings years before we decided to invade/occupy Iraq. Of course, nobody wanted to report on the Reagan/Bush I administration's more active "ties" to Saddam Hussein in the 1980's.
Boy, if having any kind of association or contact with anybody who's ever done something illegal, immoral, unethical, or even merely questionable is reason enough to accuse another person of having encouraged or supported that same behavior then everybody would probably have to lock themselves up and throw away the key.

12. I saw that this morning too - McCain just keeps on lying -
I could only stand to watch him for a short time, but I did catch all that. I hope someone rebuts it again.
