John McCain has changed his opinion plenty of times–and, he is transparently doing so in an effort to please his campaign advisors, please his base, and the corporations who have spent their money of him (who are doing ANYthing to keep America in a more-of-the-same pattern where wealth is consolidating into the hands of the rich).
I like the Obama Camp’s style: Calm and collected fact checking. It is good journalism, and it will make a wonderful shift in the behavior and operation of the Executive Branch.
Here’s the Obama campaign video refutes the McCain campaign falsehoods in last Friday’s advertisement.
There is a little tiny bit of discrepancy between what Senator John McCain says about the Housing Crisis in America, and what he actually does. I am certainly not rebuking Senator McCain for being wealthy. Instead, I am remarking at his apparent lack of empathy for fellow America.
If the truth were told, I wish Senator McCain would look a bit deeper at the problems. Each and every person who has lost their home is not merely a statistic. They are people who are fighting to cover food, clothing and shelter–the most basic needs of a human–AND LOSING that battle.
Our tax money is funding a war on foreign soil at the cost of nearly a billion dollars a day. Our dollar has weakened against the world currency. Our government has paid incentives to large corporations to move their businesses (and jobs) to foreign countries, and the cost of gas has driven wholesale prices to the highest point in 27 years.
While there may have been some cases of recklessness, the cost of living in America has grown out of reach of a larger percentage of Americans (men and women were already working an average of 12+ hours a day to cover food clothing and shelter).
This list is a couple of weeks old–so, some of the actual contribution numbers might have changed, but it is a VERY interesting assortment of financial backers.
Out of the Top 10 Contributors to John McCain’s campaign, 7 of the investors are from the Financial sector, two are law firms, and AT&T.
In the issue regarding the John McCain campaign denying United States Citizens their right to Freedom of Speech, I guess there are others who agree with me.
Here is the interview of the Librarian on Keith Oberman:
George Bush, in a stroke of genius using the one club in his legal golf bag, has invoked Executive Privilege again.
Allegedy, someone was preparing to ask him to prove something that he might have said at some time, and before the question had gained momentum from a thought to an auditory format, Executive Privilege had been invoked–thereby circumventing the even public PHRASING of the question.
Do you remember the kid who would say, “I know you are, but what am I?” as a direct response to your verbal attacks? That kid, seeing the success decides then and there to utilize it to every word out of your mouth–until it is no longer fun to play together.
The kid is George Bush, and the game is Democracy.
I am going to go home and have some cookies and milk . . . .
You cannot take it away from Citizens who happen to exercise it and say things that do not agree with you–even if it has done before–and right before your very eyes.
If someone were jumping off of a cliff, would you follow him? NO. Well, just because someone breaks the Supreme Law, do you have to follow him? (Please follow the article on the “Free-Speech Zone” in The American Conservative.)
Clearly, in the VIDEO below, your actions show that you are breaking the law and denying Citizens of the United States of America their right to Freedom of Speech, and that you are asking other Citizens and Police Officers to enforce it. What you did to the Librarian who was holding a sign at the rally in Denver, CO was illegal. She should have never been given a ticket and a court date for exercising her rights afforded to her as a Citizen.
Please do better, and respect the Supreme Law, the Constitution of the United States of America, and the RIGHTS of Citizens.
