McCain: RNC’s Obama-Blagojevich Focus Not Helpful

A sensible man you are, McCain.

Yeah, that is why he should have won!

I love Maccain’s sound comment.

Has Palin released her contacts with the AIP. IS she still sleeping with there member.

Has Plain released her Medical records.
More photos have come out that show she really wasn’t pregnant at the time.

McCain is wanting more limelight. The Obama Administration will turn over any of their files as soon as possible. He should be very careful as the Dems could pull out lots of things for the Republicans to explain. Especially his running mates large home in Alaska that was built by the same contractor who built the sports arena. Seems to be no paperwork on how that home was paid for.

It’s not like it’s easy to release this stuff. And the people criticizing Obama right now are the SAME ones who would criticize him/call cover up if they missed a record or two here or there.
So they are damned either way–delay to get things right = must be a cover-up. Don’t delay and miss something = aha, they were covering up.
Put the focus where it belongs–Blagojevich. He is going to do everything possible to avoid heavy prison time…even if that means dragging innocents down with him

McCain is an idiot…. why doesn’t he just change parties… If this was a Republican Governor, and McCain was the P-elect, you can surely bet that the media and the Democrats’ would be tearing up the Republican Party and McCain 24-7…….………. It quite obvious the media is doing it level best to protect BO, the chosen one, our savior……

To McCain: You lost. Now go away. No amount of posturing or subtle accusation will give you the Presidency at this point. Go Away.

Ohhhh, poor honest Mr. McCain… He was so forthcoming during the Keating 5 corruption scandal!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keating_Five

This was recently uncovered and clearly shows the Republicans were deeply involved in murder:

“As a former friend of the Obamas, there are a number of issues that will be surfacing over the next few years of significantly greater consequence.”…. Nice touch Anais, as in-former republican, former aide to Bush, former nun, former White House press secretary. It woud have looked a little better though if you had typed ‘As a former friend of the Obamas, I know…….’. But your form is understandable and probably midwest.

Remember when it was the birth certificate? That didn’t work, so now the hopes are up for some kind of stickiness to Blagojovich. People who hate Obama will jump on ANYTHING to get to Obama and to get a thrill from it. The Republicans who say they are doing this because we gave Bush such a hard time are blind to the fact that no one gave him a bad time during HIS transition and no one gave him a bad time before during and after 9/11. Bush got trashed by his own hand. We watched for 8 years. It has really been only the last four years (since his reelection of fear campaign) that people began to see Bush and his administration for what it really was.
If anyone is even remotely aware of Illinois (especially Chicago) politics, they will know that Obama’s democratic group didn’t go anywhere NEAR Blagojevich’s democrat group. The guy is a numnuts and everyone in IL knows that. He’s been investigated for years! The only reason this came out so fast was because the Feds were afraid he WOULD sell Obama’s senate seat.
McCain is right. Both parties are crooked (everywhere) and Obama’s camp will come out with the info the MSM and Obama-haters are crying for. Don’t you think the Feds already know what’s on those tapes?
In a transition period when there are so many fires burning (thanks to the present administration) how much free time do you think Obama’s team has?
But again, it doesn’t matter to the nay-sayers. They are just lookin’ for blood. It’s easier than admitting they lost their majority.

This is the crooked politician of the week. Nothing every happened to Cheney for outing Valerie Plame. Our wonderful news organizations keep showing us where the crime is, but what is being done about it? Our country is about to collapse financially due in large part to mass corporate and political corruption. Who is responsible and let’s hold them responsible. Yes Blago is also corrupt, one of thousands upon thousands.

Thanks, Ijustdon’tunderstand, every word you wrote could be from me. 8 years of silence, and now the hibernation is over. I wish the same brave people had spoken before, then Americans would have been spared this mess.
Now it seems they are searching for any small thing to throw at the President ELECT. Sometimes I feel as if everybody treats him as a president already. If you have anything to say, complain about what the present president did to screw the whole country, or at least acknowledge what has happened, and when, and remember when all was happening, not many knew who Obama was.

For Barack Obama supporters, why is everything about proving that he is better then his opponents rather than proving he is good himself? During the campaign, on the question of experience, their answer was comparing it to Palin’s experience, on ethics and Ayers/Rezko, it is comparing to Keating. And even after the election when the country wants the PEOTUS to come clean on his staffs’ contact with Gov Blago, they talk about corruption among Republicans, and McCain-Keating, which happened 20 years ago. Is this the different kind of politics we are to expect from the PEOTUS?
I was a staunch McCain/Palin supporter, but now have moved on and am supporting the PEOTUS, hopefully he will be able to rescue us from the mess we are in. Frankly, forget Sen. McCain. Forget the election – that is not really whats important. That being said there are a few important points about the Keating Scandal I would like to point out.
1) John McCain was ACQUITTED of any wrong doing – legal or ethical. The Senate committee only said he exercised ‘poor judgement’ in dealing with Keating who was his personal fried and campaign contributor. A detailed reading of the above wikipedia article would clarify that.
2) Of the 5 Senators accused, he was the only one to testify against Keating. From the article
“McCain testified against Keating in a civil suit brought by Lincoln bondholders, and was seen as the PLAINTIFF’S BEST WITNESS.The other four senators REFUSED to testify.”
Now it is true, the Keating 5 scandal is a small and only black mark against John McCains 26 year political career. Now I believe that making a mistake is natural, what you do to make amends for it is what defines who you are.
3) Anyone who reads the wiki page on the Keating 5 should also read the page on the McCain-Feingold act. The Bipartisan Campaign Reform act came from McCain largely to make amends and clear his conscience on the Keating Scandal. It took him 6 years and immense opposition before he could get it thru congress. Infact he won the John F Kennedy Profile in Courage award (check it out) in 1999 for this (when the act wasn’t even passed and it looked like it would fail). The JFK Award has been described as the Nobel for politicians and public officials.
Like I have said, the Keating 5 is a black mark against his name. But what drew me to him during the Campaign, was his goal to make amends for his slip, and has indeed made the country and a much much better place as a consequence. Very very few people would do that – they would either forever deny any wrong doing (even if they were found guilty), or just pretend that it never happened. McCain took it on as a personal goal to ensure the folly he made could not be repeated by other politicians / businessmen and has made our electoral and political system a lot cleaner in the process.
And in response to John Kovacs’ comment – I think John McCain was completely forthcoming during the scandal and made a clean breast of his association and dealings with Keating. Now while I am not one for petty finger pointing after the election is over, I think that is more than you can say about Obama and his relations with Ayers, Rezko and now Blagojevich. I don’t believe he is guilty of anything with Ayers/Rezko/Blago, but all I want is for him to come clean and make the facts clear.
The point is no one thinks Obama is directly guilty of anything when it comes to Blagogate, and his staff may or may not be involved though it seems unlikely. All the people, like John McCain, are asking is for Obama to come clean and lay everything before the public. While I still believe that the PEOTUS is completely innocent in this case, his office’s reluctance and tardiness in releasing the information causes one to wonder if there is actually something underhand going on.

And the republican trolls continue tilting at windmills.. lol. Meanwhile, the totally dysfuunctional and in some cases criminal events surrounding the Iraqi occupation are slowly but surely coming to light.

All the Republican comments show exactly their intentions to thwart this new president. If they can, they would rather destroy America than work with Obama to help us get out of the mess we are in…brought on by incompetence, irresponsibility, and sorry leadership for the last eight years. McCain’s suggestion, though mild, that Obama should be forthcoming may indicate his willingness to join the fray in trying to bring down this administration with accusations of malfeasance when none exists.

Patience is not a virtue for people on this blog!!
The Obama Administration will release all information relating to the corruption investigation into Rod “Stupid” Blagojevich!!!
However, I must agree with McCain, there are crooks in both parties Republican and Democrat and it is not confined to one city or state!!!!
I just want to hear what Ta-too look-a-like has to say!!!
Maybe he will say “the plane, the plane”!!
lol

when has obama’s team ever been forthcoming? why would they start now? I’m still waiting to see his collage transcrpits and his senior thesis. I guess he won’t move any quicker on this because he thinks he is above answering any questions from anyone. Can’t believe he just doesn’t wave this off or dismiss it. The world would back off if he would just do one of those things like they did during his whole 2 year presidental campagine.Anything he didn’t want feel like answering he didn’t and everyone just accepted it.

Surely, the senior Senator from Arizona who?,himself has had some experience in scandal!,don’t forget the ‘S&L’ debacle he was a part of,would now suggest that Gov. Blagojevich divest! himself of the right to confront his accusers by cross examination?, before being removed from office!, lest we never “know how??”,the Governor was aware Mr. Transparency AKA Barack Obama was ‘offering nothing’ but gratitude, whom for the transition team either carried messages! to the Govenor on 6 different occasions???,or may have been subjected to Milorad’s bribes? Perhaps?, AG Madigan can explain who is named as one of Obama’s choices to get his seat on a ‘Nov. 4th’ telephone call is now seeks to remove that person from office who is empowered by Illinois law to make such a decision. Finally!, this nation’s soon to be President can do! a little ‘fessing up!’ himself,in regards to his relationship with Nadhmi Auchi a Hussein-era ‘intel chief’, and one time administrator of the UN Oil for Food??’ Program, a scheme! in which he became a billionaire,and benefactor ‘$$$’ to one Barack Obama. However into each life a little rain must fall?,Mr. Auchi’s very own storm! came that day ‘GWB’ invaded! Iraq. So! was Obama’s early opposition! to Iraq foresight?,or just fulfilling a need of his paymaster.

If Mike Dikta would have run for senate in Illinois we would not be putting up with all of this!!!!

Regardless of how much the Obama team might like to make public any knowledge of or contact with Blagojevich and his staff, they may not be free to do so since there is an ongoing investigation. For those of you posting crazy suppositions of what Obama’s involvement might be, I think we would all be better served if you put a lid on it and wait to see what the prosecutor’s office releases.
No matter what side of the aisle a person is on, I think it would be better if we ALL could get over ourselves and try to work together, discuss things rationally and stop all of the mudslinging. If the derisive, divisive and hate-filled comments posted here are a true reflection of the state of most people’s minds in this country, then no wonder our country is the shape it is. We must learn to work around our differences, help ours and each other. Otherwise, the outlook is pretty darn bleak.

Ronnie posted “That’s why McCain was the logical choice for president. Obama is up to his eyeballs in trouble, with the IL governor and the dozens of lawsuits about his lack of “natural born” citizenship.”
__________________________________________
Why was that? McCain wants to try Blago in the newspapers instead of letting him have his day in court? Obama should and as far as we know IS cooperating with the investigation. As for the rest of your HATE filled rant – HE WON GET OVER IT

McCain, you really didn’t want to win the election anyway, otherwise you wouldn’t have picked an airhead for running mate. So now you’re starting to throw mud at Obama? You lost, and nobody is interested in your opinion any more. Get a life and go into retirement gracefully, and ditch the “angry old man” persona. That’s what sunk you more than anything – that and your lack of education.

AmericanChick said –”If anyone is even remotely aware of Illinois (especially Chicago) politics, they will know that Obama’s democratic group didn’t go anywhere NEAR Blagojevich’s democrat group.”
Are you for real???? Obama was a campaign advisor and staunch supporter of Hot Rod’s Gubenatorial campaign. Rahm Emanuel occupies Hot Rod’s Illinios congressional seat. They ALL grew up in the exact same cesspool of Chicago politics! Rezcko was fundraiser and staunch supporter of each of them. Should I go on??

Still can’t stand the guy. It’s going to be a long time before regains any credibility. Perhaps more steaks for the MSM sycophants ?

roscoe02: Should go on?
Yes, please go on, but give us something make sense.

“Has Palin released her contacts with the AIP. IS she still sleeping with there member.
Posted by: Bush did it | Dec 14, 2008 10:45:33 AM”
Has Obama released his real birth certificate….

Where was this guy on the campaign trail? Maybe he would have gotten more votes if he had stuck to issues as opposed to outright lies and innuendo. Perhaps I wouldn’t have left the Republican party entirely if he had been like this. Welcome back John McCain of old. I’ve missed you.

McCain is such a tool, which is one huge reason he lost the election (essentially, we were offered a choice between two Democrats). Shut up and go away John, you’ve done enough damage already.

I totally agree with Roscoe02. I voted for McCain but thanks God he was NOT elected. We don’t know what party McCain belongs. McCain should be the one to resign his seat NOW and have an special election in Arizona. McCain does NOT help the Republican Party at at all.

MCCAIN IS A STUPID S.O.B. ” I AM SURE ALL OF THE INFORMATION WILL COME OUT SOON FROM THE OBAMA CAMP” SAYS MCCAIN. IDIOT, OBAMA WON’T EVEN RELEASE HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE.

Lay off Palin – what’s she got to do with all of this! You guys don’t sympathize with her church being burned. When are you going to give this woman some slack – what the hell has she ever done to any of you? I’d rather have her in an office than some of those crooks on Wall Street and in Chicago!
