McCain Transition Chief Aided Saddam In Lobbying Effort

Excerpted from The Huffington Post:

William Timmons, the Washington lobbyist who John McCain has named to head his presidential transition team, aided an influence effort on behalf of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein to ease international sanctions against his regime.

The two lobbyists who Timmons worked closely with over a five year period on the lobbying campaign later either pleaded guilty to or were convicted of federal criminal charges that they had acted as unregistered agents of Saddam Hussein's government.

During the same period beginning in 1992, Timmons worked closely with the two lobbyists, Samir Vincent and Tongsun Park, on a previously unreported prospective deal with the Iraqis in which they hoped to be awarded a contract to purchase and resell Iraqi oil. Timmons, Vincent, and Park stood to share at least $45 million if the business deal went through.

And McCain wants to play the guilt by association game and say Obama is "palling around with terrorists?"

McCain and Charles Keating

In the 1980's there was a scandal involving a man named Charles Keating and the company he looted from: Lincoln Savings & Loan. Much like the current situation this country (and now apparently the world) is dealing with, this mass robbery caused the markets to plummet and was the natural result of greed and deregulation. And if the almost prophetic parallels weren't enough, guess who at the center of it pushing for said deregulation?

A: John McCain. While the particulars are complex and difficult for laymen (like moi) to comprehend or explain, this video does so nicely in about thirteen minutes. So before you caste your vote for who you think should hold the reigns of the country, it might behoove you to bone up on a little precursor to this current economic crisis and look into the Keating Five.

John McCain: Champion of Deregulation

Debunking McCain's supposed environmentalist stance

I am sure by now that you have been feed the line that McCain is better than Bush because he at least acknowledges that our dependence on oil is a problem for both our environment and our economy. You may have even bitten the hook of his all of the above energy policy which emphasizes the need for off-shore drilling, but did you know that the other options he supposedly supports have gotten a little neglect from the "Environmental Republican"?

Excerpted from The New York Times:

John McCain recently tried to underscore his seriousness about pushing through a new energy policy, with a strong focus on more drilling for oil, by telling a motorcycle convention that Congress needed to come back from vacation immediately and do something about America’s energy crisis. “Tell them to come back and get to work!” McCain bellowed.

Sorry, but I can’t let that one go by. McCain knows why.

It was only five days earlier, on July 30, that the Senate was voting for the eighth time in the past year on a broad, vitally important bill — S. 3335 — that would have extended the investment tax credits for installing solar energy and the production tax credits for building wind turbines and other energy-efficiency systems.

Both the wind and solar industries depend on these credits — which expire in December — to scale their businesses and become competitive with coal, oil and natural gas. Unlike offshore drilling, these credits could have an immediate impact on America’s energy profile.

Senator McCain did not show up for the crucial vote on July 30, and the renewable energy bill was defeated for the eighth time. In fact, John McCain has a perfect record on this renewable energy legislation. He has missed all eight votes over the last year — which effectively counts as a no vote each time. Once, he was even in the Senate and wouldn’t leave his office to vote.

Hey Obama, if you want to win, you might want to bring this up.

"I will veto every beer" and many more...

Flip Flopping on Social Security

This is for all you older voters out there--McCain wants to privatize your social security. Think Social Security... Halliburton style.

Take the Bush or McCain Challenge

Hey McCain, Why Did You Vote Against Making MLK Day a Holiday?

Well, to be fair it only took him eleven years for him to change his mind.

DNC's New Ad Against John McCain

Do you feel better off? I know I don't. I remember when Clinton was in office gas was $1.19.

Older than McCain

Yeah, just what we need another old rich white codger that is out of touch with the working class of America.

The Fabulous Life of John McCain

I love how this douchebag tells us that we need to get a second job or skip a vacation. And Barrack Obama is somehow elitist because he drinks orange juice?!? WTF?!?
