1645. We hear, back here at Sonnenurhhaus, that Presidential nominee John McCain is visiting a certain South American nation, apparently courting the all-important "not-actually-USAan-in-any -way" vote. But this isn't a merely forgettable post on modren politics – it's an even more forgettable post on spelling. The trouble with the nation of Colombia is that it was inspired by the same thing...

I had half a thought that there had to be some reason John McCain was in Columbia, which is home to zero electoral votes and thus a very odd choice to campaign, and a little out of mind in the American consciousness to burnish foreign policy credentials — even if one is stumping for a Free Trade Agreement. Things almost seem to align when American prisoners were rescued, but here again...

Sen. John McCain said at a campaign stop Tuesday that he will push for a national broadband wireless network for public safety, reports C/Net. Speaking at the National Sheriff's Association Annual Conference, McCain said a national, interoperable public safety broadband network was long overdue. "For more than a decade now, I have tried to persuade the Congress to provide dedicated radio spectrum...

John McCain has compiled a lengthy and impressive list of thoughtful changes of mind crass flip-flops on important matters of public policy. Check out the list of changes and ponder with me -- is he too oblivious to realize he keeps changing, too cynical, or just indifferent? To his credit, McCain is not a chicken-hawk. He experienced combat in Vietnam, endured torture at the hands of enemies,...

John McCain is a big booster of the Columbia trade agreement, John McCain travels to Columbia, Columbia rescues hostages after over 6 years. Coincidence? John Kerry V George W Bush, Terror Alerts Coincidence? I don't like governmental coincidences and elections, much....

McCain is so desperate as to resort to bold-face lying to WE-THE-PEOPLE. Apparently he thinks that if he does it while out of the country Americans will remain uninformed and won’t notice:McCain: I Never Said That I Don’t Know Much About Economics» McCain plays dumb McCain Denies Ever Saying He Lacks Expertise on Economy Let’s go to the video tape: Not only...

How outrageous is it when ass-hole Republicans like George Bush and John McCain (read: Bush Junior) oppose a bill but, when politically forced to comply with the populist will of WE-THE-PEOPLE, they try to take credit for the bill’s passage when in truth they were bitter enemies of the legislation! I hate those lying, sacks of crap. How low can Bush-McCain go? Bush praised John McCain...

from collateral news: John McCain, the son of a Navy admiral and commander of the US forces in the Pacific, endured terrible treatment as a Vietnam POW, and for that he is revered by many as a war hero. But he also repeatedly collaborated with the enemy during his captivity, something for which many others who were not 'fortunate sons' were never forgiven....

Thanks to Jim Webb and others and despite opposition by John McCain and the Bush Administration a strong new GI Bill passed.

"I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president." — gen. wesley clark whooey, you'd think john mccain had been swiftboated or something. no, wes clark was simply stating a truism. but his perfectly valid conclusion predictably has been mischaracterized by right-wing hypocrites. shoot, even barack obama is knee-jerking clark: "As he's said...
