Eight years ago, Arizona Senator and presidential candidate John McCain had it all: the war-hero biography, the rock-ribbed conservative credentials, and, most of all, the Straight Talk Express that charmed independents and the press.
This time, he was poised to be the Republican comeback kid. But last summer, his presidential campaign was on the rocks, out of money and seemingly out of steam. But that was then.
What's happening now is that the Republican political winds are again shifting. And over the last few days, McCain has landed some important endorsements.
Listen to an On Point discussion with McCain himself and watchers of his campaign about his re-energized run for the White House.
Do endorsements from papers or celebrities influence how you vote? Are you with McCain on immigration and Iraq? Is his straight talk appealing or a turn off?

Even if you disagree-you owe your listeners a modicum of respect. Didn't your mother teach you anything?
Now. Lieberman who himself was brought to prominence in American politicas by the STOLEN and filthy money of Jewsih mafia mob Sol Steinhardt and wall street thief Michael Steinhardt, AND WAS disgracefully rejected by American people for presidential politics TWICE, is endorsing McCain for president and the Zionist media, and all of its papers are calling it 'McCain RISING'!(see the link below)
Lieberman himself was even defeated in his little state filled with all of New York Jewsih money behind him at first, and had to be saved by more of Billionaire's Bloomberg's money at the last stages and tricking the Republicans to have a vote-breaking share in the form of a Democratic traitor in the Senate by directing Republican votes for Lieberman. Now, lo and behold, Lieberman's endorsement of McCain(Naturally followed by the Jewsih owned media's endorsement of the same) is portrayed as 'McCain Rising'!!
Since Israeli-double agents have been kicked out of Pentagon (Wolfowitz and Richard Perle and Douglas Feith), AIPAC has been pushing to have Lieberman as the head of Defense Department.
Election of McCain or Hillary Clinton would be the easiest way AIPAC can gaurantee Lieberman controlling US department of war, and thus the endorsemnet by McCain and the Zionist controlled US media.
Here's the article with reference to Steinhardts, can look up wikipedia too:
"The DLC was--and is--a creature of New York high roller Michael Steinhardt, son of Sol Steinhardt, a jewel fence for the Meyer Lansky mob. Like most of organized crime, Steinhardt fils decided to go upmarket and merge with Wall Street. His millions created the Hon. Joseph Lieberman (D-CT).
Steinhardt is also notable for his loose interpretation of the law of possession. In the early 1990s, he attempted to corner the market on Treasury securities, an audacious strategy which resulted in his having to pay $70 million in civil penalties to the Securities and Exchange Commission--a record fine at the time. Weep not for Steinhardt, though: he made $600 million from the scam.
Steinhardt, a certifiable pro-Israel fanatic, guarantees that the Democrats will not offer a genuine political alternative to the neoconservative-dominated Republicans. Should anyone wonder why the putatively limp-wristed Democrats vote for war in Iraq and for fiscally irresponsible military budgets, Steinhardt (and his AIPAC-connected confreres) offer a rationale: should Democratic Backbencher X vote against the next war in the Middle East or against the next Pentagon boondoggle, he will have shown himself insufficiently ready to protect Israel. Such transgressions must not go unpunished."

lot of both of them, and the American people want none of them, or him. He doesn't have a ghost of a chance to get elected, ever since he teamed up with Kennedy on that amnesty bill.
If the Republicans nominate him, it will be one of the biggest blunders in American
political history.
