John McCain's Ties To Terrorist

Uh-huh. It figures. I'll bet if you dig deeply enough you'll find Cheney in it with McCain. Cheney just loves those Saudis.

Neetah they all do them Saudis are worth a Zillion dollars each. They probably have pajama parties at the White House with them all the time.

So far all the left has been able to come up with is a few of companies who have dealt with suspect institutions, i.e. Freddie and Fannie, Saudi Arabia etc. No mention of the actual individuals receiving direct compensation. No mention that McCain Personally hasn't received anything.

Obama, is personally tied to a terrorist William Ayres. Obama personally received $102,000 in campaign donations from Freddie and Fannie.

It is one thing for the company of an advisor to do business in such a way, and something totally different to do it yourself. Obama has the greater tarnish.

"Obama has the greater tarnish." So if you've got the choice of eating dog crap or cat crap you'll take cat crap because it's smaller?

Poliwink please look up 1 fact before commenting.

Sue I had a really big cat once and a really small dog...the cats crap was much bigger.

OK, so you've got the choice of eating cow crap or cat crap and you choose cat crap because it's smaller?

According to a Media Matters for America search of the Senate Office of Public Records' Lobbying Disclosure Act Database, Black lobbied for Freddie Mac from 1999 to 2004; Berman for Fannie Mae from 2004 to 2008 and for Freddie Mac in 2004; Green for Fannie Mae from 2004 to 2007 and for Freddie Mac in 2003; Culvahouse for Fannie Mae in 1999, 2003, and 2004; and Timmons for Freddie Mac from 2000 to 2008.

And this is just for starters Poliwink

Sue I wouldnt do either I am a vegetarian.

Well you're choosing the cat crap according to Polliwonk's statement then.

Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrle for phoney facts. Lori, this is just beneath you.

No, it's not, Dan.

William Ayers was a 60s radical and a terrorist my ass. Tom Hayden was also a 60s radical who later served in the California Senate. My political beliefs at the time made them look like boy scouts.

You running for President, Ron?

No, just pointing out the difference between terror, the radical left of forty years ago, and mellowed out ex-GIs.

Senator John McCain’s campaign manager was paid more than $30,000 a month for five years as president of an advocacy group set up by the mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to defend them against stricter regulations, current and former officials say.



A 2004 photograph from a report by the Homeownership Alliance, an advocacy group for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, shows John McCain with Ken Guenther, a former chairman of the group, left, and David Lereah of the National Association of Realtors.
Mr. McCain, the Republican candidate for president, has recently begun campaigning as a critic of the two companies and the lobbying army that helped them evade greater regulation as they began buying riskier mortgages with implicit federal backing. He and his Democratic rival, Senator Barack Obama, have donors and advisers who are tied to the companies.

But last week the McCain campaign stepped up a running battle of guilt by association when it began broadcasting commercials trying to link Mr. Obama directly to the government bailout of the mortgage giants this month by charging that he takes advice from Fannie Mae’s former chief executive, Franklin Raines, an assertion both Mr. Raines and the Obama campaign dispute.

Incensed by the advertisements, several current and former executives of the companies came forward to discuss the role that Rick Davis, Mr. McCain’s campaign manager and longtime adviser, played in helping Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac beat back regulatory challenges when he served as president of their advocacy group, the Homeownership Alliance, formed in the summer of 2000. Some who came forward were Democrats, but Republicans, speaking on the condition of anonymity, confirmed their descriptions.

Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrle for phoney facts. Lori, this is just beneath you.

Look them up Dan...the truth is never beneath me.

Not only that but a lot of our consumer gas for our cars is Saudi.

William Ayers was a 60s radical and a terrorist my ass. Tom Hayden was also a 60s radical who later served in the California Senate. My political beliefs at the time made them look like boy scouts.
Ron B., Sep 25, 2008, 12:05am EDT

Exactly Ron.

Is McCain an example of a mellowed out ex-GI?

McCain is an example of early onset senility.

Sue I agree with Ron..its almost sad to watch McCain speak.

Oh, I know you agree with anything that is wrong with McCain and anything that is right with Obama, Lori. That myopia of yours is as bad as his senility though.

Sue, I think I might be developing myopic senility, a bad combo.

It can happen, Ron.

Sue and I disagree. I choose my candidate for a reason. And it seems funny that you say you have no horse in this race but I never see you critisize McCain but you are bound and determined to blast Obama and his followers..why is that?

You have 4 choices...vote for one of the other candidates Indepent etc. Which in theory is fine at least you are expressing yourself. Vote for Obama. Vote for McCain or dont vote at all.

Which would you prefer? No one votes?

If you dont like either candidate thats fine but why do you insist on slamming anyone who does?

Lori, I just agreed he was senile. I've said several other things about him that are less than commendable, understatedly, but you just ignore them every time because you are so myopic about Obama that you only see what you don't like that I say about him.

If my state allows a write in, I'll vote for Ron Paul. If not, I'm looking into Chuck Baldwin, but I'm not sure about him yet. If I have to I'll vote for Bob Barr.

Oh, I know you agree with anything that is wrong with McCain and anything that is right with Obama, Lori. That myopia of yours is as bad as his senility though.
Sue B.© The Sting IS Worse Than the Buzz, Sep 25, 2008, 12:23am EDT

Ya I could see that right away Sue....not.

I dont see your less than complimentary things Sue what I see is you being nasty to me and others.

Lori I support Obama but cant behind you with this kind of vague attack I am sorry but still love you

Carol np....I just got tired of all the BS about Obama and terror so I dug up this littel tidbit to show how truly stupid all the terrorist ties are.

Does no one read tags?

They both got donations from the Fred and fanny family Be fair group

You mean Ayers. Lori Obama served on a board with the guy this century. Ayers is a professor at the Univ of Chicago I think now. He would have been under 10 yrs old when Ayers was active and those were special if not wierd times. Thats my generation.

Be good my loves

go to politicheck.org or votesmart.org to check information you have questions about. Dont trust just an internet search.

carol my point is this that I got tired of all the Repub BS about Ayers...now I realize that you cant see my tags well but this is proof that anyone given 5 minutes a computer and use of the internet can dig up "ties" to terrorist on anyone.

I am misunderstood.

bye carol have a good nite I am off to bed all.

"but I never see you critisize McCain but you are bound and determined to blast Obama and his followers..why is that?"

I can answer that question. But I would rather you ask this guy to do it.

As for the topic of this article, my understanding is that everything you say is true and I would hope that that's the case. Again, my understanding is that everything you say is true and I would hope that that's the case. America believes John McCain is a terrorist and they aren't even looking at Obama as a terrorist because, well, John McCain has so much more experience with being a terrorist. I think at the end of the day, Americans will go back and look at his track record and know that John McCain is a terrorist. Now that I've said that, I am calling for everyone to stop pointing fingers.

I think we have to find someone from Gather to run for President. :)
How about you Lori?? :)

I think Ron would be a great president runner up but he may have ties with the vietcong.

I may run myself but I may have ties with mafia..I knew one guy who wore this special ring and took me out to dinner once...then I moved out of town.

Ok , everyone in Washington has taken donations and that is legal if done correctly.

To me the important thing is what the candidate has accomplished so I look at voting records and what the candidate says and if he is truthful.

My intuition, my common sense and my experience tell me Obama has a better character, more honest and truthful than McCain.

I judge people and usually most of us with unbiased and clear mind can judge a person instinctively.
I never been wrong about character, I can read people like a book by their actions and mannerism.
Obama is not perfect... but I know at this time he is for the country and what is best for us.

If you look at the people who support him and who are more knowledgeable than we are then you should feel reassured, unless they are all conspirators.
Beside to get where he is he was checked out very well.

On that account I find this accusations no more than gossips and stupidity on the part of the accusers, and maybe slander..

by the way Obama and Biden are coming to my town...rally on saturday...should be great!

Yeah, where is Jonathan? I will tell you one thing, I'd sooner believe anything Jonathan had to tell me without proof than anything you would tell me with proof, Sandy.

This sounds bad but then again, the alternative is Obama who is best friends with a real terrorist (not a financial connnection to someone who has a brother who knows someone, and gave money to someone.....) and a rabid racist for a spiritual guide and pastor. If it weren't for democrats republicans might actually look bad.

Yeah, where is Jonathan? I will tell you one thing, I'd sooner believe anything Jonathan had to tell me without proof than anything you would tell me with proof, Sandy. I'm sure you would, Sue. I have a feeling Jonathan would say whatever you wanted him to say, and we know I won't.

It doesn't suprise me. Bush and his cronies love the Saudis and since McCain and his cronies are one and the same, it would figure they would also have the same relationships.

Good thinking, I love it Lori! Give them all you got! Keep up the good work...

Thanks Lori!

how does McCain wipe his ass if his arms don't go all the way down.. do you think he has a sprinkler in his toilet?

I never heard of any connection between McCain and terrorists, but the Bush family is friends with Saudi royalty. That is why Saudi family were flown immediately out of this country immediately after 9/11.
There is no connection between Obama and terrorists either. It's all just lies and distortions dug up by the desperate Republicans. Most people reject that sort of campaign for what it is. They have no good ideas to offer to get us out the financial mess the Republicans let happen.

Poliwonk,

It is interesting to see someone write about unethical ties of McCain and see the responses such as yours. Personally, I think it is time we all forget the character assassination by association on these candidates and look at what each is proposing, if you can get McCAin to tell you what he is proposing.

It is great fun when trying to smear Obama by his known associations but people really wince when it comes back on their candidate! Sauce for the goose?

Jeff H.,

And what is your proof that Ayers ever was a terrorist, and that he still is? If he is a terrorist, why is he not in prison? And when he was supposedly being a terrorist, Obama was all of ten years old! How long a record does Ayers have? And just all has be been charged with? And, has he ever been convicted of any of them? Inquiring minds want to know!

James where the hell have you been?

Jeff,

It's not where I've been, it's the conclusions I don't jump without evidence and the recognition that Ayers is ancient news and not really relevant to this race. You haven't answered my legitimate questions.

Can you accept a challenge?

Show me that Obama is being influenced significantly to commit terrorist acts and it will change my mind about for whom I vote! Show me ancient factors and a casual relationship and I'll get a laugh out of it. If you can't show me the influence and recent illegal wrongdoing, I'll know it's because you simply have decided to try to confuse the issue with false considerations and innuendo! I'll bet you that Ayers hasn't thought of terrorist acts in at least twenty years, if ever.

Ah well, the election's over. I like our new President.

And thank goodness it's over! maybe now we can move on!

Congratulations on being RAOC's MOTD!

Happy Birthday!
