Henry David Thoreau:  

"It is characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things."
McCain's desperate surrender of his campaign to extremists like Rove
is a good measure of the man.  This act alone proves his incapacity for leadership.
It is fortunate that Obama won in spite of Republican electoral fraud and
abuse, but time will tell whether or not Obama intends to lead or surrender.

Why 'Cain is not able:  Clueless, Wrong, and Wrong-headed... Who is John McCain?

How many houses do you own? Most Americans could answer that question quite easily. 
But John McCain couldn't remember when asked by reporters. (Answer is more than seven)

McCain's Voting Record
He Does Not Support Our Troops and Veterans

FOURTY-FOUR John McCain flip-flops on issues..     http://thinkprogress.org/mccain-flip-flops/

Palin Around with Terrorists   by Tom H. Hastings
"There was absolutely nothing noble about what McCain did to Vietnamese. He was one of the least likely to pay any price for his actions, bombing them into fireball oblivion from thousands of feet in the air. Were they not in possession of antiaircraft rockets they would have had no chance to defend themselves against the bombings of hospitals, civilian neighborhoods, and the infrastructure that kept their people alive.."

Kate Sheppard's searing indictment of McCain's anti-woman voting record and sexist behavior. McCain shouldn't count on much support from women this election, she explains:
"[T]he suggestion that women will be "lining up" behind him is a fairytale. At least, it should be.
McCain's record and policies on issues of importance to women are neither moderate nor maverick."
G.O.P. Drops in Voting Rolls in Many States    By JENNIFER STEINHAUER
Voting experts say the registration numbers may signal the beginning of a shift that could affect local, state and national politics over several election cycles.  

A prominent Christian leader whose radio and magazine outreaches are solidly in support of biblically-based marriages – and keeps in touch with millions of constituents daily – says he cannot consider Arizona Sen. John McCain a viable candidate for president. "Speaking as a private individual, I would not vote for John McCain under any circumstances," said James Dobson, founder of the Colorado Springs-based Focus on the Family as well as the Focus Action cultural action organization set up specifically to provide a platform for informing and rallying constituents.

McCain's Dirty Politics: Republicans Should Not Support Him   As a former Republican activist who, as late as 2000, was campaigning for John McCain against Bush, today I am a dedicated supporter of Senator Obama. My point here is to ask how the Republicans will define themselves by the means they use to try to define and defeat Obama.

Why McCain Will Lose the General Election by a Landslide   The November presidential election is not going to be close. Barack Obama is going to beat John McCain by 8 to 10 points in the national popular vote and win 300 to 350 electoral votes. Obama is going to wipe out McCain mano a mano.

Have you noticed that President Bush and John McCain keep telling Americans our problems are all in our heads and that we just need to feel better?

Late last night, McCain's campaign co-chair Phil Gramm had to step down because of controversy over his comment that we were in the middle of a "mental recession." But the the truth is, McCain himself has repeatedly said our problems are merely "psychological"—Gramm was just more openly condescending about it.

Gramm's gone—but so far, the media's giving McCain a free pass for saying similar things. So we made a video. It's short, and funny, and it'll help spread the word. Please check it out, then pass it on!


Watch the video

With banks failing, foreclosures and bankruptcies skyrocketing, inflation at the highest level in years, and thousands losing their jobs, these comments are a measure of just how out of touch with reality John McCain and George Bush are. Let's make sure their comments don't slip under the radar.

You won't believe it until you see it.

Everyone needs to watch this video and take action.

Then tell Senator McCain: American women deserve access to affordable contraception.

Last week a reporter asked Sen. John McCain whether he thinks it's fair for insurance companies to cover Viagra for men, but not birth control for women.

To tell you his reply simply doesn't do it justice. Watch the video at right to learn his response. Then take action.

If you're shocked by what you see, join us and tell Sen. McCain to ensure that health insurance companies include women's birth control.

Maybe we shouldn't be surprised. In 2003 Sen. McCain voted against forcing insurance companies to cover birth control.1 And this is the same senator who claimed in 2007 not to know whether condoms prevented sexually transmitted diseases.2 Nonetheless, the truth remains: American women deserve better than this.

Click here to ask Senator McCain to get the facts about birth control and take a stand for women's health.

After you sign the petition, please be sure to tell a few friends.

10 McCain Gaffes from This Week That Should Have Damaged His Chances
By Max Bergmann, Huffington Post
This is the week that should have effectively ended John McCain's efforts to become the next president of the United States. Read more »

It is understood that John Sidney McCain was admitted to the United States Naval Academy primarily based on his father and grandfather's attendance.  But it is not as well-know that  John McCain graduated in the bottom of his class:  No. 894 in a class of 899.  Don't we deserve better?

McCain's Playbook: Hate, Fear and Caveman Politics  

McCain's Playbook:
Hate, Fear and Caveman Politics

By Matt Taibbi, www.RollingStone.com
Haunted by the ghosts of Vietnam, the media-manufactured 'maverick' has remade himself into a prototypical, dumbed-down Republican Party stooge.
Activism News   Activism News

-McCain opposed spending $100 million to prevent unintended and teen pregnancies.
-McCain opposed legislation requiring that abstinence-only programs be medically accurate 
               and scientifically based.
-McCain opposed Title X, the nation's family planning program.
-McCain opposed requiring insurance coverage of prescription birth control.
-McCain opposes comprehensive sex education.
-McCain is unsure where he stands on government funding for contraception.
-McCain opposed repealing the "global gag rule."
-McCain supports overturning Roe v. Wade.


"I do not support Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned."
  John McCain

For the past 25 years, John McCain has consistently voted against women's health. From opposing funding for family planning programs to voting against requiring insurance coverage of birth control, McCain has taken extreme positions. He has voted against women's health and has not supported legislation that would help reduce the rate of unintended pregnancies and the need for abortion. This has earned him a zero rating the lowest rating we give in the U.S. Senate.

"Sen. McCain believes government has the right to interfere with the most personal and often the most difficult decisions affecting a woman's health. Most Americans believe just the opposite and, as more voters realize Sen. McCain's ardent anti-choice position, this will be an issue for him in the general election."
             — Cecile Richards, president, Planned Parenthood Action Fund

Learn more and spread the word on McCain's record.

Move On's  friends at Planned Parenthood Action Fund just did a really cool thing—they took to the streets in their own version of the Bush-McCain Challenge—to see if folks knew where John McCain stands when it comes to protecting women's health.

Check out the video. It's amazing.
