Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, October 12, 2011, 9:35 PM
John McCain feels their pain.
Raw sewer: An unidentified man seen defecates on a NYPD patrol car in downtown Manhattan (Daily Mail)
Useful idiot John McCain spoke out in favor of the dirty fornicating socialist radicals trashing New York City today.
The Politico reported, via Free Republic:
The Occupy Wall Street movement is getting sympathy from an unlikely person: Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).
The 2008 GOP presidential nominee said he understands the growing protest movement’s concerns over Washington bailouts of major financial institutions…
…He later quipped that he may be the “only” Republican who does.

John McLame, Stealth Democrat.
I have nothing but respect for his military service, nothing but contempt for his maverick shenanigans as replacement Senator for Barry Goldwater.
Bert commented:
I am so sorry I voted for John McCain in 2008. Please forgive me!
bear commented:
HEY!! mccain!! KISS MY BUTT!! Jerk.
kansas commented:
Yeah, and we have nothing to fear from an Obama presidency. I can’t believe I had this a hole’s signs in my yard.
FurryGuy commented:
I certainly am not ashamed that I voted for McLame in 2008 considering the alternative IS well on the way to destroying the Republic and freedom across the world.
I just wish that there had been not quite so much “Lesser of Two Evils”, but we got dealt a crap hand.

Blacque Jacques Shellacque commented:
And to think, this guy was the Republican candidate in 2008.
What’s more dismaying is that the Republican Party is flirting with the prospect of fielding yet another McCain-like dipstick in the form of Mitt Romney as their candidate in 2012.
Why, oh why don’t these people ever learn?

Skully commented:
I do not agree with the protestors, but there is one point to be made. The big banks such as Goldman Sachs and the revolving door with Republican and Democrat administrations. These guys seem to go back and forth between government service and the big banks. The way to solve this though is to elect true leaders and cut those ties in Washington. If we went back to our limited constitutional government, then the bankers would not have as much influence (thanks Dodd-Durbin banking bill). The other thing is Bush should never have done TARP. Let us all be honest, a big bank or two should have failed. It would have been very painful, like a quick stab, but I think the country would have recovered quicker and been stronger for it. Now everything is too big to fail until the US Gov fails, of course I think that is the elites – Republican and Democrat plan a little Cloward-Piven anyone?
tommy mc donnell commented:
#11…how much did the people that work for these corporation pay in taxes. how much did stockholders pay in taxes on any money that they made from these businesses. to tax a business and then to tax anyone that made any money off that business is double taxation. stop with the marxists lies. the problem in this country is too much money in the hands of the politicans and not enough money in the hands of the people that worked and earned it. the politicans were suppose to serve the citizens but because of marxist tools like you the citizens now have to serve the politicans. i guess thats liberation.

I would have gone a different direction – “TARP” should have been a package to allow those with a mortgage ‘rights of first refusal’ when their holder goes tango-upsilon and another investor buys for that mortgage, for say 30 cents on the dollar, the guy with the mortgage will be given 90 days notice to refinance at 31 cents on the dollar.

John McCain went out of his way to lose, WHY? He refused to even mention Obama’s middle name and even fired aides that did. Now when he ran for the Senate again, he spent 25 million just ripping J.D. Hayworth a new one, 25 million for a senate seat. He is scum that changes his spots like normal people change clothes. He is part of the ELITE class! We are on a course to nominate his clone in Romney. Everybody should really step back and look at Romney for the Elite he is. Lets not make the same mistake again, that mistake got us where we are now, anybody but Romney! Please!

David, we do not have a tax revenue problem. We have a spending problem. We have a bloated federal beauracracy that even if they confiscated everyone’s wealth, great or small, would not be enough. Plus there are far too many parasites wanting a nanny state to take care of them. We need to shut off the spigot, ease regulations, cease the moratorium on drilling, stop sending financial aid to our enemies. Free up the private sector so it can start hiring without fear of what lies around the next corner that would harm their businesses. Then tell these sorry excuses for human beings to get a job or starve.

It is a big possibility that Obama gets a 2nd term, esp since the romster is going to be pushed on us (*maybe demo for sure)…”lets wrap it up, Lets finish up the debates’. and Laura Ingraham and Coulter ran Gov Palin into the ground, last week and is a Romney-ista this week.

McCain, who identified herself early in the program as heterosexual, spoke candidly about her own support for a battery of LGBTQ issues on stage…at one point, McCain even indicted pro-Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell politicians as being “dangerously out of touch.”
“I support equality,” she said. “You can’t call this country free if people are being discriminated against.
“I’m scared by people who don’t evolve,” said McCain later on, frustrated by the static nature of conservative politics. The blogger, whose views contradict much of the religious rights’ stance on homosexuality, suffered extreme backlash from news pundits throughout her father’s campaign.

Paula Deen Says Michelle Obama Can Really Eat
Michael N. Todaro/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — When celebrity chef Paula Deen met with Michelle Obama, she was surprised at just how much food the first lady could put away.
Mrs. Obama has become a driving force in preaching healthy eating for others, but according to the newspaper, Deen recalls, she packed away anything but healthy food — both on the air and during the commercials. “She probably ate more than any other guest I’ve ever had on the show!” said Deen, sometimes called the “Queen of Butter” for her decidedly non-dietetic fare.

Patty commented:
According to the Food Network star, after complimenting Michelle on her slim figure, she showed her how to fry shrimp for a TV show in September 2008, just ahead the presidential election, reports The Daily Mail.
On the Obama family, Paula remarked, “You know what their favorite foods are? It’s hot wings, you know, those kinds of foods that are not necessarily top-of-the-list healthy foods, so she’s no different than the rest of us.”

Food fest called off due to Occupy Boston tent city ($2M police overtime tab?)
http://bostonherald.com/news/regional/view/2011_1012food_fest_called_off_due_to_occupy_tent_city
The “Greenway Mobile Food Fest” set for Saturday has been canceled and won’t be held until the spring, the conservancy announced today.
“Saturday’s event was to include 12 mobile food vendors, many of them in large trucks. It was to take place on Dewey Square, the only parcel large enough to accommodate this type of gathering,” the conservancy said today in a release.
Today’s Boston Herald:
» Occupy Boston costs estimated at $2M
» Carr: Cantabrigians arrested – ain’t that rich?
» Buckley: Theo Epstein’s good as gone
» Rivals hammer Romney in N.H.
Patty commented:
The Occupy Boston tent city has taken over Dewey Square, with no end in sight of their protest encampment. An attempt annex another Conservancy plot of grass early Monday — over Boston police objections — resulted in the arrest of 142 protesters.
Tomorrow’s cookbook signing and next Tuesday’s Pumpkin Festival — both slated for Dewey Square — are also called off, according to the Boston Public Market Association.
Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino said yesterday a few dozen agitators “from another country, another city” hijacked the protest resulting in the arrests.
“My message to them is, let’s continue to work together,” Menino said. “I’m not going to go out there and break heads. That’s not my style.”

Patty commented:
I think the taxpayers are going to be a bit ticked off. We all knew this was coming.
Patty commented:
This demonstration could have been accomplished in one day and garnered some attention and support. But what it is garnering now is resentment by the businesses and citizens of New York who are being displaced and damaged by this invasion and occupation of their city.
Who is supposed to be watching out for the citizens of New York City? Seems city officials think the occupiers”rights” are precious. How about demanding and making sure the occupiers show some respect and responsibility to go along with those “rights” by leaving the city as they found it and going to their respective homes to work within our system for change? Everyone forgets responsibilities are supposed to go along with those “rights’?
There is a forecast of rain, is that what it’s going to take to release New Yorks citizens from being hostages? Or will the Mayor step up to the plate and protect the citizens of the city he has sworn to protect?

Dear John,
As my fellow GWP colleagues can attest, I tend to be a bit direct, throwing angry theory or perspective from the real world inside the belly of the global capital beast. I owe you a different tone here, one filled with compassion and guidance.
You’re a broken man. We saw that the last election. I know certain insiders laughed about how you were a “dog who won’t hunt,” suggesting a shotgun would be the greater sympathy. I defended you against the general nastiness as people mocked your broken body with your ever-stiff arms that remind us all of a young child in an inflexible snowsuit. But we’ve all realized that this broken dog has a greater problem than its inability to fight the good fight: you’re a dog so broken that it bites its friends, and runs tail-wagging to its enemies.
We’ve seen this across your career. Many attribute it to the mental damage you suffered in Vietnam. You throw good Americans under the bus while defending the greatest of haters, a sickness that threatens us all. As of this most recent episode, I can only conclude that if my family was attacked, you would impede the police and embrace the rapists and murderers who threaten us.
Something in you is seriously unwell and now it’s threatening our families. As we respect your service and the unimaginably difficult time you spent imprisoned and tortured, may we ask you to go to a place where you can heal (and allow us to heal). From what we can all recognize, you have a family that greatly needs you, a daughter Meghan that is greatly confused and in need of her father’s love and guidance.
Please leave public service now as these are real difficult times with real enemies; we don’t need psychologically damaged beings inviting in the killers to slaughter the innocent as you struggle with the reality as a permanently damaged, hopelessly broken being. Please go home to heal now, so that we too may heal and protect our families from the demons you invite in.
Our prayers and wishes are with you,
Multitude

What a fool is McCain.
‘WS Insider: That mess as you call it…that mess is power. A display of power. These unions are showing the president who holds the real power over these people. They can work for this president, or they can work against him – and it will be the unions who ultimately will make that decision. That is a significant message being played out down there. President Obama has little to do with controlling such a mob. He is simply a by-product of it. His jobs bill? (Shakes head) That move is nothing more than a feeble promise by the president that more money is on its way. To those unions. The first stimulus bill…what was that but a massive payback to his labor union masters? Keep those government checks coming. Those millions of government employees – the country has reached the tipping point there. To have a government so big, so vast, so powerful, so controlled now by organized labor. Labor whose leadership openly embraces socialism, Marxism, and any number of other –isms that all add up to anti-freedom. Anti-business. Anti-America. That is what is unfolding just down the street from us. The people engaged in it are silly and stupid. Ignorant and incapable. But the motives of the organizer behind these protests are very-very dangerous to the country. To each and every one of us. We are all in terrible danger here.
Ulsterman: That’s rather bleak.

You’d have to be retarded NOT to GET IT.

BTW McCain, you wrere simultaneously unpopular and all alone in your party and the party’s nominee for president. Explain that one, moron.
McCain’s wife and daughter have as much as admitted to being liberals. Why won’t he?
Valerie commented:
I wonder how long this conversation was, and how much of it has been left out.
Folks, Politico is no friend of John McCain, and they quote only two remarks out of an obviously longer discussion.
What if he said, “Oh, I understand their concerns, even if they don’t voice them well. This administration has purported to help the little guy, but that hasn’t been the end result. They tried an enormous amount of spending, and unemployment is still up, and now we have stories that suggest that the money went to the wrong places. That is the gist of their complaints, and I agree.”
In response to the question, “Do you think you’re the only Republican who says he agrees with the protesters?” He could have said, “I might be the only Republican that thinks that, or I might not. I don’t know.”
**********************
I am NOT saying that this is what John McCain said. I am saying that there was so much left out of the Politico story that he could have said nearly anything.
Buffalobob commented:
If you want to try to understand McCain, read his book Faith of My Fathers. He documents the fact that he is a jerk. He likes to think of himself as a maverick, but jerk is the true description. From his early days away at pre school, in the days at the navel Academy, to his POW years. He was an admitted jerk. Read his book it is there in black and white.
