McCain Supporters Turn To Hateful Push-Polling Used Against Them in 2000

Via No Blood For Hubris:

Key West resident Joelna Marcus received a phone call today. She was asked if she is Jewish, and she replied in the affirmative.

She was asked if she was religious.

She was then asked if her opinion of Barack Obama would change if she knew that Obama had given lots and lots of money to the PLO.

Sounds like liar John McCain's Smear-Talk Express, not unlike Ol' Man River, just keeps rollin' along.

Update: Another FL voter (from Gainesville) has revealed he too received a similar push-poll call.

This type of nonsense is completely dishonest and unethical and McCain should strongly condemn it and use his power to get it stopped.

If you get one of these calls, e-mail me the phone number it came from (my e-mail quinnelk@hotmail.com) and we'll see if we can coordinate some kind of strike back.

To learn the truth about the Israel/Middle East policies of Obama and McCain, go to Jews Vote or J Street.

McCain Hates Doing His Homework

McCain says he is "better prepared to be commander-in-chief," but he can't even get foreign leaders' names right:



He knew he'd have to talk about this issue, shouldn't he have gotten someone to figure out how to say the name right?

McCain Hates History, Troops Serving in Afghanistan

McCain said Iraq was the first major conflict after 9/11. I wonder what the people serving in Afghanistan and their families think about that?

McCain Loves Castro

The St. Louis Post Dispatch reported InBev has "570 full-time workers and 44 percent share of the Cuban beer market flowing from its brewery in Holguin, Cuba." [St. Louis Post Dispatch, 7/24/08]

McCain's family holdings include Anheuser's Arizona distributorship and McCain is going to make nearly $2 million on InBev's takeover. And he'll have a direct line into the Cuban dictatorship through his business holdings. Will he sell it or will he tell Cubans to go screw themselves?

McCain Hates Veterans

Apparently McCain wants to ration health care for veterans. That's just plain wrong. This isn't a zero-sum game, it's quite easy for us to afford to take care of all of our veterans, just like we said we would when they signed up. Shame on McCain.

McCain Loves the Big Oil Money

I wonder why he flip-flopped on offshore drilling:

Campaign contributions from oil industry executives to Sen. John McCain rose dramatically in the last half of June, after the senator from Arizona made a high-profile split with environmentalists and reversed his opposition to the federal ban on offshore drilling.

Oil and gas industry executives and employees donated $1.1 million to McCain last month -- three-quarters of which came after his June 16 speech calling for an end to the ban -- compared with $116,000 in March, $283,000 in April and $208,000 in May.

This is wrong on so many levels and is filled with hypocrisy from a so-called supporter of campaign finance laws.

McCain Loves Lobbyist, Big Money

And when he takes this much money from the big interests, how could he possibly care for the common people?

Apparently, one of the best investments corporate America could make right now is to make a campaign contribution to John McCain, or to hire one of the many lobbyists working for his campaign,” commented David Donnelly, director of Campaign Money Watch. “But regular Americans can’t afford to hire a lobbyist like Charlie Black or Rick Davis, or to make a $2,300 contribution. Perhaps that’s why McCain’s tax plan is so skewed to help corporate America.”

...

McCain has received $5,590,003 from the employees and Political Action Committees (PACs) of the Fortune 200 since 1989. These same 200 companies have paid $98,693,835 to lobbyists connected to the McCain campaign since 1998.
