Are you kidding me. Bush and McCain have been selling off our country left and right. These crooked trade deals are the reason thousands of Americans are out of work. Bush gets oil from Mexico, and he leaves the borders open for the Mexicans to take our jobs. Canada gives us oil, and they get our jobs. China lends us money to fight a war for oil, and they get our jobs. Bush gives U.S. companies massive tax breaks to move overseas and use cheap labor. China is what the U.S used to be. It's a joke

McCain NO-1 BEST PRESEDENT OF USA

[1962verbodivino]

My fellow Americans, we talking about the US military. Instead of an American company, Boeing, getting the contract, McCain helped a French company, that's French, as in from FRANCE, get the contract, sending not only US jobs overseas, but also placing our national defense, our security, in the hands of the French.... Thanks to John McCain we now get military refueling tankers from France... That's sad. Thousands of US jobs, billions of dollars, sent to France... A Keating 5 special by McCain...

[Novaessrussia]

McCain 2008. Regardless of which airplane company got the contract, this is the presidency of the United States and airplanes are not a big issue. I don't even know if this video was supposed to help or hurt McCain. Maybe it is just something informative.

[KSFALLGUY]

mccain admits he knows little about the economy, so like bush he has hired the best qualified econimic advisers, these three men all woked to pass the enron loophole, that deregulated the energy sector. futures trading on falsely reported electric needs caused the crash, mccain now says enron was the cause of high oil prices, ie futures trading n oil, so his experts on the economy are the very ones who created the loophole that is robbing us all, he also has voted 2 times to not close loophole!

[mdnees]

He "did" something for AirBus. Whether that was his intention, who knows (chuckle). Charles Keating. The telecommunications act. And keep denying the lobbyist thing. Maybe it will come true. Oh, he followed the letter of the law, but totally showed no ethics. Of course, someone who would publicly call his wife a c*nt, has no regard for ethics. McCain is a fraud, and the country will know it before election day. And Huckabee is with Faux News. Maybe you can get Rudy back.

[39gop]

You're lying. I said "they don't actually say that McCain intervened FOR Airbus, since, in fact, he DID NOT." You replied, "Uh, yeah he did." You did say he did things for Airbus.

And you DO NOT KNOW "he would have never stepped in if lobbyists hadn't brought it to his attention." That is a lie, and so is calling all of his aides "lobbyists."

You're a liar, and you keep repeating the same lies.

And now you add a new lie: that he committed any campaign finance fraud. He followed the law.

[mdnees]

I did not say he did things for Airbus. I said he would have never stepped in if his aides, i.e. lobbyists, hadn't brought it to his attention. You cannot change history. Keating? The telecommunications bill? His campaign finance fraud where he took out a loan based on his taking federal campaign financing, then refusing to go along after he received the money. And he sponsored the damn bill! And who exactly does Charles Black represent?

[39gop]

You didn't MAKE "simple statements of fact." You said he did things for Airbus, but that is your unsubstantiated belief, not a fact you have evidence for. You said he does nothing without lobbyists, which is obviously untrue. And you said his campaign is staffed completely by lobbyists, which is verifiably false.

They were not statements of fact. They were lies. If emotion is not your excuse for lying, then what is?

[mdnees]

Simple statements of fact are devoid of emotion. What of MCain's relationship to Charles Keating? And his "cozy" arrangement with a telecommunication lobbyist. Oh, and his violating the campaign finance law that he co-sponsored. See, you don't win an argument by just calling someone a liar. That is emotional. I apparently know more about John McCain that you. That's unfortunate since you seem to be a supporter. A responsible person looks into his candidates record, not just what he says.

[Stucinlif]

I kinda wonder where McCain got his financial boost from. A while back he was low in popularity, his campaign was in the toilet, his money gone. Suddenly, he pulls up from the dust & becomes the only candidate for the Republicans. Like everything else they do, sounds supicious.

[pudgenet]

OK, so you admit you were lying: you have no evidence he did anything for Airbus. Further, you're lying when you say he does nothing without lobbyists, and you're lying when you say his campaign is staffed completely by lobbyists.

You obviously are too emotional about this to be rational and honest. I wish you well.

[mdnees]

McCain argued that he was simply opposed to the no-bid process. Sounds good, who can argue with that, But McCain does NOTHING unless it is brought to him by lobbyists. It started with Keating (who got McCain his seat) and the S&L scandal, continued with the telecommunications act and carries right on with his campaign, staffed completely with lobbyists.

McCain is the liar. And if you are unaware of that fact, you are ignorant.

[pudgenet]

You're ignorant, or lying.

[mdnees]

Uh, yeah he did.

[Richernow]

John McCain believes that he has earned the position of President of the United States. He thinks that because he has served over 26 years in the US Senate and was a Vietnam POW, that somehow he is entitled. Once enlighten Americans begin to look at his overall record, they will understand that he is just another Washington lawyer who is trying to get as much money and position as he can, at the expense of the hard working working Americans. He will say anything now to get their votes.

What a SCUMBAG!!!!!!!!!!

[dynamitemike65]

Believe it or not we have more in common than you think. I won't vote for either on these two. The polices being promoted by either canidate will put the whole world into a deep recession.

What's funny about this video is he is the father of campaign reform. He's the reason why canidates can't receive more than $1000 at a time from any one person. I believe its called the McCain Fiengold bill.

[bkackerson2]

perhaps link to more facts (McCain lobbyists' role in Airbus lobbying, McCain's intervention) would be informative. Hard to fit this into a 30 sec add clip. However, the real issues to hammer home should be the McCain Bush Oil War's destabilization of the Middle East, allowing Al Queda to now occupy portions of Iraq and allowing Iran to develop an ally in a now largely Shiite Iraq. Probably not a good development for us for what will likely be an extremely fundamentalist future nuclear state.

[loon567]

McCain is a looser. He flip flops so much a fish would have a hard time keeping up with him. One thing McCain has over a fish is that he stinks more.

[pudgenet]

Nice lying through innuendo: note how they don't actually say that McCain intervened FOR Airbus, since, in fact, he DID NOT. But they want you to think he did, because they are liars.

[gamealarm]

McCain=Loser=another republican mistake!

If this country wants a good leader, vote for a democrat, even a private party, but for the sake of all humanity-(even if he was a democrat((God , help us-if he was)))-the hell with McCain!!!
