OMG! That he is so close to the White House is scary.

Wow is right. Has there been a response from the McCain Campaign about the article?

I don't think so. They didn't respond to requests to comment while the article was being written.

Oopsey.

And Rolling Stone is an unbiased, fair, legitimate news source.......

Any questions about this article will be put in the "Our campaign is currently suspended" pile.

Facts is facts. Disprove any of it. Or let 'ol Maverick' do it. You are happy with this kind of guy? If he was the Democratic candidate you'd be demanding his head.

Actually, I wouldn't. I would do some research on my own, before making my decision. Unlike most of the voting population who can't tell you anything about a candidate outside of hair color and state of residency.

They are not unbiased ...they have Endorsed Obama awhile back


Rolling Stone editor Jann Wenner and the magazine endorse Barack Obama.

Is this the same Rolling Stone that put BHO on the cover with an aura of light behind his head?

 

[sharlon]

endorse Barack Obama[/URL].

My point exactly.

Facts is not Facts when it comes from a biased backing editor......there is so much stuff out there going around that it is hard to trust any media or editor with any of the canidates.

If You think all you read and all you hear to be true as "fact" than you my friend have a lot to learn.

 

[Goofyluver]

Honestly?

I don't put much faith in the piece.

The same way I don't put much faith in many of the pieces posted about Barack Obama.

Lincoln Chafee, the former GOP senator, who has been appalled at his one-time colleague's readiness to sacrifice principle for power. Chafee and McCain were the only Republicans to vote against the Bush tax cuts. They locked arms in opposition to drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. And they worked together in the "Gang of 14," which blocked some of Bush's worst judges from the federal bench.

"On all three — sadly, sadly, sadly — McCain has flip-flopped," Chafee says. And forget all the "Country First" sloganeering, he adds. "McCain is putting himself first. He's putting himself first in blinking neon lights."

This quote from the article was made by a former friend and colleague of McCain's. It is not an opinion, but rather fact, can anyone dispute this?

That's fair. Why don't you do the research on the same things that they did on McCain. See what you find out. See if this story isn't true, and let us know.

In all fairness there is some opinion in how that quote was presented.

It is the writers opinion that Chafee is appalled and your opinion that they were ever friends.

The quote, yes it appears that Chafee said it.

Nothing new, both sides do this take a quote and insert personal opinion.

wow - putting aside the possible bias of the article, there are FACTS presented. How can anyone deny the facts that are stated?

He's still a hot-head. Mumbling "horse-_____" under his breath while Obama was speaking during last week's debate. Do you really want this angry man having his hand on the "red button"?

 

[mrsv98]

Yes, this is the man I want for President. Sure, say its a hack job...ALL those people are lying. All the witnesses, all the Senate colleagues, all the former employees, former military, even McCain himself must be lying when he talks about chasing tail and having a volitile temper. Absolutely, this is the man I want representing us...you must be so proud.

Theses facts are presented by a so called acquaintance/friends....that clearly does not like him....that does not make for facts..it makes for hearsay.....

Also written by a man that hates McCain clearly....you can tell that by the tone in his writing...

There is so much going around in this election that has writers voicing there opinion as fact...opinion is not fact.. On all the candidates.

This election has gotten way out of hand.
