I think it is below us to bring up McCain's affair

[usregimechange]

Let's stick to the issues as much as the McCain camp. ;)

[JeffR]

1. Nice.

:spray:

[Ian David]

2. Is it also below the belt to discuss whether Rush Limbaugh is a drug-addicted pedophile?

[usregimechange]

4. Yes, it would be ungentlemanly to mention that.

[Ian David]

6. Or the silly tabloid rumor that Bush is sleeping with Condi?

[cliffordu]

12. That idea makes me throw up a little in my mouth....

And did you hear anything about Rush Limbaugh being a drug-addicted pedophile??

[rasputin1952]

37. Self delete...Dupe post...

:blush:

[rasputin1952]

38. Ah...but Limbaugh has admitted to being a drug addict...

the pedophilia has yet to be proven...even though his alter-ego, Jeff Christie, has a record of such activity.

[WinkyDink]

26. But he's her husb....I mean, the President!

[cliffordu]

11. It's completely fucking WRONG to imply that Rush Limbaugh

Is a drug-addicted pedophile.

I have HEARD that Rush Limbaugh is a drug-addicted pedophile.

But I have no personal knowledge that Rush Limbaugh is a drug-addicted pedophile.

So I don't think we should imply that Rush Limbaugh is a drug-addicted pedophile.

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

14. I have HEARD that Rush Limbaugh is a drug-addicted pedophile too.

But, as far as I know, the statement that Rush Limbaugh is a drug-addicted pedophile, is not necessarily the case.

[cliffordu]

18. It seems absurd that a ginormous sweaty slobbering moron

with a name like Rush Limbaugh would be a drug-addicted pedophile,

but if people think Rush Limbaugh is a drug-addicted pedophile,

it's no problem with me.

[Kber]

19. As far as we know.

[nxylas]

43. Damn, beat me to it n/t

[WinkyDink]

27. Some people say.....

[Lochloosa]

28. Rush Limbaugh is a drug-addicted pedophile?

Damn.

[Faygo Kid]

3. LOL.

When was the last time McCain talked issues?

Point well made.

:yourock:

[Booster]

5. Which one?

[usregimechange]

7. Uh, issue? The issue of Obama not being boring?

[Booster]

10. I meant which one of McCain's affairs.

[zulchzulu]

8. Put it this way. McCain's campaign doesn't want to bring up McCain's affair

If just ONE Repig even mentions either Bill Clinton or John Edwards and their affairs in a spin, it is completely fair game to bring up the question as to just how McCain was able to marry his beer heiress with a marriage license before he was even divorced from his first wife.

Put it this way. If Obama had married Michelle before he was divorced from his first wife, he wouldn't have made it past the Iowa caucus.

I'd start with how Johnny Songbird isn't really even a war hero. Ask Bob Dornan. That's THE Commercial.

[usregimechange]

9. McCain's affair really should not even be brought up!

[Waiting For Everyman]

30. Exactly.

The POW issue is a material fact because he himself made it so.

And if a substantial number of his voters are going to be basing that on "family values", then his affairs are material facts too.

[Ian David]

13. I have heard McCain was a bigamist. He got his marriage license to Cindy before he divorced Carol...

... and abandoned her and his children.

[Deja Q]

16. Sounds rather small of him. Why do they call it 'bigamy'?

[Gabi Hayes]

22. this is absolutely accurate

http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-divorce11-2008jul11,0,6546861.story

In his 2002 memoir, "Worth the Fighting For," McCain wrote that he had separated from Carol before he began dating Hensley.

"I spent as much time with Cindy in Washington and Arizona as our jobs would allow," McCain wrote. "I was separated from Carol, but our divorce would not become final until February of 1980."

An examination of court documents tells a different story. McCain did not sue his wife for divorce until Feb. 19, 1980, and he wrote in his court petition that he and his wife had "cohabited" until Jan. 7 of that year -- or for the first nine months of his relationship with Hensley.

Although McCain suggested in his autobiography that months passed between his divorce and remarriage, the divorce was granted April 2, 1980, and he wed Hensley in a private ceremony five weeks later. McCain obtained an Arizona marriage license on March 6, 1980, while still legally married to his first wife.

[Ian David]

42. I'm no lawyer, but that sounds like bigamy to me.

The marriage ceremony is not what carries legal weight.

It's the license registered with the state government.

Therefore, it seems to me that McCain was a bigamist.

[mnhtnbb]

29. Getting the license before the divorce is final is not bigamy. Getting married

before the divorce is final IS bigamy.

[Barack_America]

31. Don't you have to indicate whether you're already married when you apply for the license?

Wonder what he said....

[mnhtnbb]

41. We didn't in CA in 1985. Hubby's final decree didn't come through

until about 4 days before the wedding. Maybe it was the blood tests that we got earlier. I was sweating bullets. He'd been separated from her for well over a year and it was a nasty divorce. I can't remember now whether we waited to get the license. And my copy of the license was destroyed when our house burned down last summer. I guess that's one more document I should get replaced.

[Motown_Johnny]

15. Character is an issue.... Unsubstantiated rumors are below us., facts are not

[Deja Q]

17. But facts are such useless things!

:yoiks:

[usregimechange]

20. Your right we should not mention McCain's affair

[CitizenPatriot]

21. it would be wrong to discuss his lobbyist friend

and the rides she gave him on her corp jet which he did not claim properly. and i couldn't say, I mean, I wouldn't want to say anything but Nancy Reagan has said it all you know she can't stand McCain because of how he mistreated his first wife, sleeping with all those girls he's lucky he didn't get a disease...did he? and poor cindy, he rushed her to the alter when his career was going nowhere and her daddy gave him a career and the money to fund it and then there are all of those people in arizona politics who can't stand the man. he never was known for having any character and i guess Washington hasn't changed him any. i heard he took money from Islamic interests for his campaign but then he was never a loyal person. he brought reporters to the hospital to document his visit to a dying famous friend. too bad he cheated on all his wives. well, we don't know the details and it's none of our business, I'm sure:-) I just can't say why he calls himself the maverick when W calls him the Double Talker and I guess W would know. I can't think of a worse insult coming from someone with such a low bar for integrity. But that's neither here nor there, bless his heart. Wish him all the best and hope he gets it together.

(that's a little southern strategy sarcasm for y'all)

[Gabi Hayes]

23. bush/mccain a backbreaker?

[Top Cat]

24. McCain's character is an issue that needs to be discussed

[usregimechange]

40. I disagree, McCain's affair shouldn't even be mentioned.

[dkf]

25. Its below Obama...that is why its our job to inform the world.

[Barack_America]

32. Precisely.

...and, unfortunately.

:thumbsup:

[DevonRex]

35. Exactly. Obama won't do it. But surrogates can. I think we

can pass the information along, too. Especially in response to those disgusting emails we get from our right wing wacko friends and relatives.

[dkf]

36. Maybe we should do preemptive strikes..."before you send me an email

about what a sleaze Edwards is, you ought to know this about John McCain".

That should shut them up.

[Voice for Peace]

33. You are SO right. Emphasis on McCain's old age & apparent senility, his affairs, his undignified

sense of humor, should NOT be discussed. Let's stick to the issues. For example, is he a Manchurian candidate, under the mind control of nefarious forces wanting to take over the world? This is the real concern.

[DevonRex]

34. I'm perfectly happy if surrogates bring the issue up. It says a lot

about his character. If that is really what republicans care about then we should give it to them.

[against all enemies]

39. Play fair and lose. No thank you.

[zulchzulu]

44. I would do an ad that his infiidelity should not be an issue...

Make the ad start off with Repigs using the Edwards scandal and then make a point that examining McCain's history of infidelity should not be an issue.

:rofl:
