Senator McCain Invented the BlackBerry!

[LeslieYoungs]

You can win BlackBerry Bold at Gifter7(.)com. It is your lucky day! excellent video...

[Jadore08]

NOT!

[tom7ate9]

Obama does not like the USA but than is running for the presidential position? Sounds more like a greed of power than anything.

Btw, name another country that has a black leader and they are doing "well".

[lilnoggen]

lol... they immediately said it was a bone headed joke

[NefariousEquivocator]

You look like an inbreed version of Mario and Luigi

[maxisme21]

fuck macain

[hajrulaswad]

hahahhahahahhahaha---You are so funny!...hahahahahhahaha...I love the words you have chose!

[drawuin]

I'm pretty sure McCain meant "dingleberry"

[ussick]

He meant Strawberry. He used real straw too.

[VeronikaFresh]

My absolute FAVORITE thing about McCain so far is that he voted AGAINST the Immigration Bill he helped write.

:)

[dudeman5790]

hey billymires, nobody gives a fuck about your bullshit "vlog" about something that a "news organization" "reported" via its "Well qualified" "news anchors" and "truth-bearing" "commentators." including "journalist," Kieth and Chris.

[rgoodman42]

Dude it's just a joke, sort of like the McCain campaign.

[Delta2477A]

What a load of bullshit. A computer illiterate guy invented the Blackberry?

Yeah, and I can run 100 meters in 8 seconds...

[VeronikaFresh]

Dabernathy89, darling, im sorry to have to be the one to point this out, but just because you refuse to see soemthing and plug your ears and sing "la-la-la" doesnt mean it isnt happening. Why should someone have the burden of pointing out how ridiculous you sound defening greedy liars. No offense, but people like you can't be reasoned with.YOu Just discredit everything that contradicts YOUR claims as false, no matter how compelling. Am i wrong?

[cmoore10494]

Yeah. It's a joke. And you spelled "defending" wrong.

[VeronikaFresh]

my bad. i was never a huge fan of spell checking. much less on comments.

[volifiee]

No offense, please, but you fail to see the subtlety and implication of the comment. The free market, American businesses being free of government control and American ingenuity produced the Blackberry. Conservative principles are the basis of allowing people freedom to operate without high taxes and tariffs and independent of the federal government breathing down the necks of businesses.

[JohnPurvis]

That is a hell of stretch however your explanation has one fatal flaw. The Blackberry was invented in Canada by a Canadian company.

[freeze1305]

palin is to qualified and i think shes ready to go head to head with iran

(even though they dont respect wemon and prob. not let her speak)

we can just use pictures....a bomb taped to a photo of there country should get the point acrost

[Michthemitch]

mccain is way toooooo old and she is not qualified !!!

[SamHj08]

Love this.

[VeronikaFresh]

DABERNATHY89, do McCain's war injuries make him incapable and immune to taking responsibility for his misdeeds and his lies?

[dabernathy89]

That question is based on a false assumption.

[MM28262]

Wow ,scientist have discovered that right-wingers are biologically cowards who are afraid of their own shadows.I could've told them that,why else would they want to give up their constitutional rights so that Massa Bush can keep them safe from the big bad terrorist.

[VeronikaFresh]

kudos, sir.

[Kyaronss123]

Lol!!! I agree!! John McCain Has To Be President!! Yep!!

[milofonbil]

But his aide got it all wrong. McCain *did* invent the blackberry. Before Jesus was a little boy, he was right there along side God when they were populating the Garden of Eden. McCain said I think the world needs an invasive vine. And poof there were blackberries. But then God did not give him credit when he wrote the bible.

[criscokiddo]

That's why this man needs to be in a straight-jacket. Good God- talk about "Idiot Nation"!

[BustinBush]

I think you're wrong -- John McCain invented the Dingleberry!

[milofonbil]

But there is one invention that no one can take away from him - Telecom Immunity.

[havefuntodayok]

Had to know the military-cult would be out spewing their radical nonsense: wear a uniform, you get worshipepd! Follow orders because if you don't, you go to the gulag: you're a hero!...Anyone can put on camo, buddy. We will judge what makes a hero on an individual basis and after careful consideration of the entire facts. McCain is no hero. Tough shit camo-cult, I don't worship the Kent State massacre shooters either. You antiAmerican psychopath.

[satyr72]

You ROCK that hat dude!

[thinkingbear]

LOL, can't you guys give it a rest already? That's a tired, tired act.

You choose to live in fear. I choose to Hope.

Obama '08

[IDCL2]

It's amazing that we're supposed to believe that a 72 year old man with Alzheimer's who can't even figure out how email works invented the blackberry. LOL.

[deadvodka]

you didn't get it, did ya.

it's meant to be ironic.

[dabernathy89]

Okay he does not have Alzheimer's. and the blackberry thing was a joke.

[chitownalphamale]

LOFL...... MrMcGoo

[riace]

Who is John McCain? John McCain is a war hero; who spent five years, think about it-- 5 (uno dos, tres, cuatro, cinco) at the hands of the enemy in Vietnam, and then upon returning, has spent the rest of his life as public servant, is it too much to ask for some respect..I mean, what have you done for your country today? Ask yourself would you risk your life and limbs for John McCain or his family, his country, his ideas? Maybe, but he did: for you and your freedom to hate him with impunity.

[Maximus705]

ok so he was a victim of the war. that wont make him a good president. it earns my respect but not my vote. he doesnt even respect people who go through the same ordeals today. he has repeatedly voted against veterans' benefits and has voted to deregulate torture standards. the sad thing is, he used to be an anti torture advocate. this just shows how he sold his soul to the republican party platform just so he could earn their support.

[havefuntodayok]

A hero? Bullshit. The Vietnamese did nothing to this country, he had no choice but to go over there on THEIR soil, so using the word "enemy" has no meaning, when the "enemy" is merely a just reaction to YOUR arbitrary actions...He did nothing for "this country". He did what he was told to do by his handlers, but he did nothing for this country...You militant, insane whackjob.

[cobwebhead]

riace - Most people fully acknowledge the man's great commitment to the country. But his sleazy, low-ball campaigning tactics have raised "character" questions for many of us.

I'd also like to point out that it's odd to see the GOP get so sensitive about McCain's war hero status after what they did to Kerry in 2004.

[dabernathy89]

4 months in Vietnam, and then coming back and calling the veterans war criminals VS 5 years as a POW in Vietnam

[cobwebhead]

Kerry's words to Congress in 1971:

"...And I believe that the men who designed... the free fire zone, the men who ordered us, the men who signed off the air raid strike areas, I think these men, by the letter of the law, the same letter of the law that tried Lieutenant Calley, are war criminals."

Clearly, Kerry was accusing the desk jockeys of war crimes (& hypocrisy), not his fellow vets. It takes a lot of courage to earn Bronze & Silver Stars. IMO, it took even more to speak his mind.

[dabernathy89]

I don't mean to belittle Kerry's service. He did just as much as many of the Vietnam vets. It just doesn't compare to McCain's experience, though.

[cobwebhead]

Fair enough, dabernathy. It's nice to end one of these discussions without being called a dumbocrat.

[MM28262]

He's no war hero,he just got his sorry ass shot down and captured because he didn't know how to correctly fly a navy jet(To much drinking and partying).A real war hero was ridiculed four years ago with purple band-aids worn on the faces of you right-wing assholes.

[dabernathy89]

Wow. I really can't believe that you think that.

[wyrwich]

If McCain has no idea on how to use technology, how can he possibly lead a country into the future, when society is intertwined so much with technology at the moment and this will only grow more. I mean, look at social networks such as Youtube, Myspace, Facebook, IMs, blogs and so on. Won't this mean his opinion will be a bit outdated. And this guy can't grip the concept of emails. Wow, I'm going to be worried if this guy is elected.

[dabernathy89]

If you think the knowledge of how to use facebook and other internet sites is at all helpful in the position of the presidency, then you have no idea what you're talking about.

And, by the way, you can know plenty about technology and its effects on society without having to use the internet all the time.

Lastly, in case you didn't know, McCain's war injuries make it difficult for him to use a keyboard.

[keithOlbermannMSNBC]

I started this lie! They only said that they supported a program for its development, but I am EVIL!

For more details check me out at 8 pm on MSNBC and in the YouTube video,

"To Obama, From Russia, with Love"

[adamantman42]

Yea McCain invented the blackberry. And Al Gore invented the internet.

[sufflox]

McCain did not say he invented the blackberry, you retarded fuck! Actually, no one said that. Douglas Holtz-Eakins did say that while he was on the commerce committee they helped to push through technologies that resulted in things like the blackberry.

Another boneheaded comment taken out of context by a left wing pinko liberal.

Gee, who is surprised?

[stickpictures]

Well to be perfectly fair... On second thought, why would I want to be perfectly fair to this dishonorable old fraud.

[naturerockgirl25]

McCain is not with it.. and he lies.. period.. how much more do you need to know.. he is a out right lier.. when someone shows you who they are .. believe them.

[a7green]

.......And then McCain will say... that he slayed a dragon and flew away into the sunset, on a magic red carpet. (he is fuck'n shell-shocked)

[gemini067]

Everyone knows that Nobama invented the blackberry while taking a stroll on the water, or was it Gore, another loser, either way it had to be a democrat senator, they get paid to do nothing, so have a lot of free time.

[jnycnuk]

sure i invented the blueberry. i get cindy to dial up that google all the time.

[adamantman42]

Don't forget how you just found out about the internets a few weeks ago.

[jnycnuk]

adam: i know all about the interweb. i understand george bush invented it.

[thegurusx]

lol

[fLiPpAntMisSCreanT]

AWESOME!!!

[bushuraloser]

McCains insane and

Palins failin

[FowlPrey12]

what are you two? You can't support your opinions so you make gay little rhymes?

[richardpud]

Actually, I think McCain stole the patent for the Blackberry just like hes stealing Obamas promises of change and taking credit for it. McCain cannot use a cellphone because he is always blowing hot air and cannot hear what everyone is trying to tell him, and that is to return to the Glue Factory for processing.

[JesuszillaCorp]

Well he votes on that board, but this was obviously just a reply to the fact that he can't use a computer, you know physically because of his treatment in a pow camp. But tagging the move on site, that site is garbage.

[FreshCliches]

OK, let's set the record straight....

McCain WAS alive during the initial development of the Blackberry....

Of course, I'm referring to the fruit, not the technology.

[Velius0]

Technological Super Genius? Black Berry isn't THAT impressive.

[ESORentertainment]

Just like democrats to bash him wtf obama doesnt do anything for america mccain served army got tortured injured and still worked wtf guarantee he knows what cell phones are everyone does just asses making up stuff barely see republicans do this i moved from mo to ri now everyones like this man wtf

[KSFALLGUY]

you support mcmuffin and you think he was in the army? shows how informed his voters are! thanks for proving my point!!!! and mcmuffin has said publiclly he is computer illiterate, and cant send an e-mail, again you didnt even hear what your candidate said! on another point if the reps. werent so shit off stupid we wouldnt point out mcmuffins shit off stupid view of the world!

[buzz851]

What about Al Gore inventing the internet? And by the way McCain was in the navy- try to educate yourself.

[ESORentertainment]

wow big difference -.-

[braydenbeautiful]

what is amazing that no1 in the US Press even realizes that BLACKBERRY MADE BY RIM IS CANADIAN!!!!!!!>

For the Love of all goodness the company that makes the blackberry is RIM, a CANADIAN COMANY. BLACK

next McCain advisors will be telling us that McCain invented Chuck Norris. LOL.

[MM28262]

Actually,John McCain claims that he broke every bone in Chuck Norris's body with his little toe.

[KillerComedy]

Freakin' FUNNY!!

[MM28262]

John McCain claims that Aliens come to Earth to get information from him about advanced propulsion systems.

[MM28262]

John McCain claimed in an interview on Fox News that he discovered The Theory Of Relativity and was the first man to walk on the moon.

[Baylan72]

More like the first man to walk.

[shiddy67]

Hahahahaha...That's a stretch.

[KSFALLGUY]

Mcmuffin couldnt send an e-mail to save OUR lives! the only change he can get his hands around is the change he found in his couch! that video of plains lil girl at the rep. convention fixn her brothers hair, the truth is all children of the corn love the taste of baby! whos on gov. plains advisery board? i dont know! go get me her high school year book! sometimes its sad that comedy has become the best way to present the truth, because most of the time theres nothing funny about the truth

[ESORentertainment]

and what about obama say one positive thing about it hmmm seriously name ONE thing.

[KSFALLGUY]

im just hear to attack mcmuffin, not support obama! so why would i have anything to say about him! what are you 13?

[MM28262]

Blackberry Smackberry,I just found out that John McCain invented The Large Hadron Collider in Cern,Switzerland.Not only that but He also dug the entire 17 mile tunnel for the collider using nothing but a plastic spork.

[lingojacklingo]

nice work, billy. gobama.

[JPPT1974]

Sorry I support McCain

[BustinBush]

Better change your vote to Obama as I have posted proof that McCain invented the Blackberry! Watch my video.

[normlsparky]

you should apologize for supporting mccain.

[lanegjones]

your video sucked

[wyattlevi]

oh good. sarcasm is intelligent. no wonder conservatives thing liberals are assholes.

I'm a staunch liberal, but I think this shit is counter-productive.

stop, please.

[BustinBush]

Stop what? We are trying our best to help this old man!

[wyattlevi]

sarcasm is weak. you don't help someone by insulting them.

[perezf10]

He looks like Mario.

[dubsac2]

HAHA! Awesome!

[sprocketsize]

hysterical

[imtang0708]

Funny funny shit!!!!!

[MurasakiYugata]

Oh, leave the poor guy alone.

[sprocketsize]

Billy leaves most poor 72 year olds alone, but this "poor guy" is running for president while talking about a google and admitting that he is computer "illiterate". that's serious shit.

[MurasakiYugata]

Don't get me wrong, there's more than enough stuff to criticize McCain on. This video just struck me as...meh. But that's me.

[Falcynn]

What does knowing about computers have to do with being president? All the president needs to know is how to press one button.

(yeah I stole that joke, I don't care :P)

[zjemi]

Billy,

You are terrific. Who are all these angry people posting on your site? How can they be so angry? Who do they think they are, John McCain? Now THERE's a guy who knows how to get angry. I bet you have a story or two about that.

[haushausman]

Fuck McCain that old piece of shit. He treats this election like a fucking game, just something to win. Our economy is so fucked that if this old geezer wins we may as well hand over the award to China for most powerful country. He'll drive the country he fought so hard for right into the ground.

[dabernathy89]

Wow. It's amazing how you have no idea what you are talking about.

[haushausman]

China just surpassed us as a bigger exporter. Every great nation has fallen since the beginning of time. The U.S. is next. And Bush, McCain, Cheney and all the rest of the good ol' rich boys are laughing all the way to the bank; buying up this country at a discounted rate along with the rest of the world. Quite being so ignorant; you really think they give two shits about you and the rest of the middle class?

[OLDWISEANDCURIOUS]

Um. For you Barack Hussein Obama voters, this is a joke.

Good grief, get a sense of humor.

[Baylan72]

I can't get over the fact that republicans think its sooo scary to put Baracks middle name in... Hussein Hussein Hussein.. Geezzz Get over it.. The only scary names I know are Bush, McCain and Palin...

[OLDWISEANDCURIOUS]

Really, how could anyone question a person's name? Especially when it is Hussein. I mean, get over it.

[scottfanetti]

Stephen Hawking can type with his tongue - but John McSame can't type because of his war wounds --- yeah right. I have a bridge in Alaska to sell you if you believe that.

[tazdu]

touché!

[theEdge1983]

McCain invented the Blackberry? lol keep on lying republican pinocchio campaign!

[b9keith]

"And how are you going to be the vice president of the United States with five kids to take care of? She's got a four-month-old of her own, she's about to become a grandmother, and she's partnered with John McCain. How many diapers can one woman possibly change?" --Jimmy Kimmel joke about Sarah Palin

[b9keith]

Yeah, John McCain was upset when he heard this and asked, 'What's the internet?'" --Conan O'Brien

[Durza413]

That's f**k'ed up. McCain didn't say that. And, he can't type due to his war wounds asshole.

[briano0600]

that's the problem fuckheads like him actually forget that this country was fought for by people like McCain.They would rather have an inexperienced man who passed not one single legislation in office to run their country than one who actually fought for the country.One is all talk and lies.The other has already fought for us.McCain and every other war hero helped build the internet because their fight gave us that right to create.Barack wants to disarm us.This jackass can't figure that out.

[Markmacbike]

You are wrong. Obama sponsored 131 bills in both the Ill state senate where he was for eight years, and passed three bills in the US senate where has been for four years. One of which was across party lines, the Lugar/Obama non proliferation act.

You right wingnuts always reach into the POW bag everytime you are faced with how incompitent McSAME really is.

Yes, this blackberry thing is silly, however you Neocons perfected the art of sily, so get over it.

[betterdays105]

So I guess that means that you voted for John Kerry in 2004. NO, only Republicans can be war heros. If the Democrat is the war hero they vote for the person who went AWOL from the Texas Guard.

[scottfanetti]

So then by your logic, you voted for Kerry over Bush in 2004, right?

[Markmacbike]

Again...it always comes back to the POW thing. Give us a break.

[chadmw45]

Most people don't know that McCain actually taught Michael Phelps how to swim.

[chadmw45]

Most people don't know that McCain actually taught Michael Phelps how to swim.

[camipco]

Satire? I give it 50/50

[TheFolksinger]

Thanks very much. I posted you a video."Sarah Palin is Pretty" may complement your vision, since it may show why she needs to be VP. Thanks for your comments.

[SheHeathie]

Are you the gent from the new Hardee's Thickburger hidden cam commercials? XD I likes your style.

[MercuryShining]

LOL

[mrblob20]

LOOOOOOOL

[clynnfelt]

Bwahahahahahahahhahahaa

OMG this is seriously hilarious!! McCain is a f***ing idiot....seriously

[Baylan72]

Well I did know John McCain was older than the nation of Israel, but I never knew he invented the Blackberry. Wow! way to go McCain and I thought he couldn't beat inventing the wheel.

[Underdog123]

McCain invented the Blackberry Yeah Right, I don't believe that for a Second, its like Al Gore have Invented the Internet, well Bill Gates Invented the Internet and a Canadian Invented the Blackberry they are richer then any Politican will ever be, Let you guys and Girls know that Fact.

[holyloki]

Underdog, since when did Bill Gates invent the internet???

[Underdog123]

1975 buy creating a Microcomputer, with a MITS, true Story Google Search Bill gates and you'll know John McCain didn't Invented the Blackberry it was Geoff Goodfellow a Canadian in 1997, so don't listen to Politicians they are fools and they only Invented Negative Attack Ad's since they are Mean as hell,

A little food for thought for you.

[cutube59]

I agree with cheesepowah, much as I truly despise McCain. This thing was just a feeble joke, and by an aide--not even McCain. Stooping to their level on such a trivial matter is just going to cause distracting, vitriolic name-calling back at us; won't convince anyone of anything. There's plenty of real stuff to criticize about McCain.

[DarthandDirtyCheney]

Grampy McSame invented the wheel

[fuitsmybday]

love it! that john mccain is the bleepin-blackberry jesus! praiselujah!!

[cheesepowah]

this whole thing is such bullshit. i hate john mccain and all, but why would people get so up in arms when republicans make it a big deal to misquote al gore as saying that he invented the internet, and then go and make it a big deal to misquote mccain as saying he invented the blackberry?

[bobpeters61]

Because turnabout is fair play, cheesepowah.

[LAMtv]

Gore did NOT say he invented the internet. He did however play a critical role in helping to develop it (authoring legislation, etc). Take the full quote in context and you see this. McCain's TOP ECONOMIC ADVISOR blatantly lied as the Blackberry was invented in Canada and McCain played no role. This was no joke, no slip up, no gaf. This was a lie.

[cutube59]

OK, LAMtv's point is a good clarification. I take back my previous objection to making a big deal of this.

[dabernathy89]

The adviser was simply talking about the legislation that McCain has worked on in the commerce committee allowing for innovation in the telecommunications committee. He was not trying to claim that McCain was responsible for the blackberry. McCain said he did not invent it, and the campaign stated that it was simply a 'boneheaded joke'. So... you're an idiot.

[dabernathy89]

sorry telecommunications industry, not committee

[LAMtv]

Dabernathy89, That is false. McCain's TOP ECONOMIC ADVISOR said McCain was responsible for the invention of the blackberry (a Canadian invention). He said those very words. You can't have it both ways- referring to McCains legislative decisions or a joke. Unless you're saying McCains actions in the senate are a joke. You right wing people are such liars.

[dabernathy89]

Holtz-Eakin:

"Telecommunications of the United States is a premier innovation in the past 15 years -- comes right through the Commerce Committee -- so you're looking at the miracle John McCain helped create, and that's what he did"

That is far from claiming that McCain was personally responsible for the creation of the Blackberry (notice he didn't even use the word blackberry, he was just referring to the one in his hand).

[LAMtv]

He held up a Blackberry and said "you're looking at the miracle John McCain helped create, and that's what he did". Now we all know he didn't invent the Blackberry. The only reason why anyone is talking about this is because you conservatives said that Gore claimed he invented the internet, which is never said. McCain's camp says something far closer to the exaggeration you attributed to Gore, and you let him off the hook. Hypocrite much?! You conservatives are total and complete hypocrites.

[dabernathy89]

That is assuming that we are all of the same mind. I for one never thought that Gore actually felt he invented the internet. So your claim is baseless. And there's nothing to let them 'off the hook' for.

[LAMtv]

There's plenty that the McCain camp (and apologists) are "on the hook" for. The constant lies,lobbyists & bad choices(Palin) are more troublesome than idiotic statements. The point is the media isn't playing fair, and conservatives aren't either. Had Obama's advisor said something similar he'd be raked over the coals like Gore was. The point is you're apologizing for McCain. Did you do the same thing for Gore? Were you all over internet setting the record straight? Doubt it.

[dabernathy89]

Well I was only 11.

And the 'constant lies' you're talking about is about the same stuff that is coming from the Obama camp (lies about McCain's social security plan, for instance).

The McCain campaign is very careful about who they hire, and they no longer employ current lobbyists. Besides, lobbyist has become too much of a dirty word recently. They can be bad, but just being a lobbyist doesn't make one a bad campaign staffer.

[LAMtv]

Oh god, there's just too much here to address. No wonder you're a republican. I fear for America's future. A lobbyist being involved with decision making is BAD BAD BAD. But that shows republicans operate; The best interests of the people comes last. Lobbyists running government is not good, even you should see this. Again, the republicans lie about everything. It's just so painfully obvious.

[dabernathy89]

It's a campaign, not the government. And lobbying is just an occupation like any other, it is a political endeavor and there is nothing wrong with them being 'involved with decision making'. I totally agree that they should not run government, and I agree that they have too much influence in Washington now. I know for a fact that that the campaign is careful about researching campaign staff and seeing if they have lobbied and who they have lobbied for. And I didn't lie about anything...

[LAMtv]

Your statement just proves you have no knowledge about this subject. I'm not trying to be mean, but seriously, you need to understand this stuff before making decisions. Lobbyists are part of McCain's decision making and _policy making_. Not only his campaign staff. Seriously, read some books or something. And republicans lie- that's how they get people to support them.

[dabernathy89]

I was referring to the allegations that his campaign staff is filled with lobbyists. I believe I do understand 'this stuff'.

Lobbyists are a part of every politician's life, not just McCain's. Not just Republicans, either.

So how are you going to prove to me that the lobbyists that are 'part of McCain's decision making' are any different for him than any other Senator? And how are you going to prove that they have any effect on his policy?

[LAMtv]

Again- your answer illustrates that you are very uninformed about this subject. McCains tops advisors are mostly lobbyists, they are shaping McCain's policy (as acknowledged by McCain). Lobbyists are not a part of every politicians policy making. Bush and McCain are leaning heavily on lobbyists. Again- do some research.

[dabernathy89]

I said lobbyists are a part of every politician's life, not a part of their policy making.

You are completely overlooking the fact that current campaign staffers are not allowed to be currently employed lobbyists. In fact, many lobbyists left the campaign earlier this year because of more stringent rules about who could work on the campaign.

You haven't provided any specifics or proof to back up the claim that lobbyists are shaping McCain's policy. How informed are you about this subject?

[LAMtv]

I know- YOU ignored what I said. I said that lobbyists are shaping McCain's policy, when you said lobbyists involved weren't a problem. You can take MCain's own words as proof of that. Also, Look at the Bush admin, which McCain has voted with over 90% of the time. Lobbyists run everything, with lobbyist's concerns first and foremeost. This is republican policy-corporate power rules all. The specifics are easy to research, so do it. YouTube doesn't provide enough space to discuss all the detail.

[dabernathy89]

I'm not saying that lobbyists being involved aren't a problem. I'm saying that the campaign has addressed the issue heavily.

All new campaign hires are required to disclose all past and current lobbying activity, and they are required to cut their current lobbying ties or not work for the campaign.

Where is the evidence that 'lobbyists run everything'? Don't tell me to research specifics, the burden of proof is on you. You have to prove to me that "lobbyists are shaping McCain's policy".

[LAMtv]

Yeah, NEW hires. The policy is NOT RETROACTIVE, hence the problem.

Evidence- Google the following: McCain adviser's work as lobbyist comes to light (note that the policy is NOT retroactive!);

McCain economic policy shaped by lobbyist

Just two examples, but there are COUNTLESS more. McCain caved to public outcry about lobbyists shaping his policy. But the influence and advisors are still there. You must understand what republicanism is about- corporate power. Hence why lobbyists rule all.

[cobwebhead]

cheesepowah - Your point is well taken, but I don't think too many people are serious about this charge. It's just funny to throw it back in the GOP's face after the way they contorted Al Gore's comment. If only we could get get a picture of McCain windsurfing or looking dorky in a tank... Hey, did you know that Vietnam vets can lie to get medals?

[OprahDust]

thats pretty funny, especially since the Blackberry was invented by RIM (a CANADIAN company)

[kuslak]

You're a fucking fat ass. Sent from my BlackBerry Wireless Handheld, a miracle made possible by John McCain.

[battousai51088]

is this supposed to be a joke?
