The enthusiasm gap seems stark. While this might be an okay situation for McCain in a close contest, it seems to be big trouble for him at the moment.

Newsweek is set to publish a highly embarrassing report on Sen. John McCain, revealing that the McCains have failed to pay taxes on their beach-front condo in La Jolla, California, for the last four years and are currently in default, The Huffington Post has learned.

Under California law, once a residential property is in default for five years, it can be sold at a tax sale to recover the unpaid taxes for the taxpayers.

The McCains own at least seven homes through a variety of trusts and corporations controlled by Cindy McCain.

Gee, didn't the McCains save enough through Bush's tax cuts to pay his property taxes? LOL

Quote:
McCain's botched revenge has solidified his reputation in Arizona's Republican circles as a divisive, untrustworthy and even dangerous figure. Haney hopes the general public meets this side of McCain before his penchant for angry reprisals is invested with the powers of the presidency. "This just shows that McCain is mentally unstable and out of control and vindictive," Haney told me. "If he is determined to go through that much trouble to attack a district committee chairman, what does that say about his ability to handle real political problems?"

McCain's temper has been common knowledge for many years; those who refuse to acknowledge such information will never accept bad news concerning him. They'll support him until "death do us part," just like Bush supporters.

Having a temper and using foul language could turn some republican's on.

Well, only the real nutcases, like the ones we see around here, CI.

Ariana Huffington

But Novak documents something even more significant: the overpowering sense of revulsion with Bush and today's Republican Party felt by many conservatives. The money quote is delivered by a long-time GOP loyalist: "The Republican Party is a dead rotting carcass with a few decrepit old leaders stumbling around like zombies in a horror version of Weekend With Bernie [sic], handcuffed to a corpse." I didn't think it could be done, but that tops Republican Rep. Tom Davis' classic "If we were dog food, they would take us off the shelf."

McCain doesn't know the difference between Somalia and Sudan.

McCain makes those kind of error too often. I wouldn't want a commander in chief who confuses countries; he might start a war with a long-time ally.

The only difference is in HOW they commit genocide.

Once again, you post irrelevance. Shall we look for some bumbling speeches from Obama? I know there are several? Rolling Eyes

If this contest comes down to 'who makes the most mis-statements and gaffes,' McCain is screwed, and you know it.

I think it's much more accurate to say that McCain's pattern of misstatements doesn't help his already struggling candidacy.

Only struggling in the polls. Only one poll that really counts and that is in Nov. Everyone pretty much knew that Obama would get a bounce after he was the presumptive nominee but it is a long time, politically, ofr the Nov poll and McCain should be ok in making up the difference between now and then. I'd suggest waiting til after the conventions and they have a debate or two to look at the polling numbers.

Obama's shiny veneer is wearing thin already and he hasn't actually become the nominee yet. He is an unread book with a pretty cover. I'd say wait for the American people to read the book. Then they will be better suited to judge.

This could well apply to McCain.


George Bush goes to a primary school to talk to the kids to get a little public relations exercise. After his talk he offers question time. One little boy puts up his hand and George asks him his name. " Stanley", responds the little boy.

"And what is your question, Stanley?"

"I have four questions: First, why did the US invade Iraq without the support of the UN? Second, why are you president when Al Gore got more votes? Third, whatever happened to Osama Bin Laden? Fourth, why are we so worried about gay-marriage when half of all Americans don't have health insurance?"

Just then, the bell rings for break. George Bush informs the kiddies that they will continue after break.

When they resume George says, "OK, where were we? Oh, that's right, it's question time. Who has a question?" A different little boy puts up his hand. George points him out and asks him his name. "Johnnie", he responds. "And what is your question, Johnnie?"

"Actually, Sir, I have six questions: First, why did the US invade Iraq without the support of the UN? Second, why are you president when Al Gore got more votes? Third, whatever happened to Osama Bin Laden? Fourth, why are we so worried about gay marriage when half of all Americans don't have health insurance? Fifth, why did the break bell go off twenty minutes early today? And sixth, what the fock happened to my mate Stanley?"
