Why is nobody calling, "liar, liar" when McCain says the things he says? Is this a carryover from the "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" policy the media have obediently followed during the past eight years of the Bush Administration? WHY?His dishonesty is completely evident. And it's all on tape. It's no big problem to back up claims McCain is either lying, unaware of what he said before, or flip-flopping uncontrollably in a vain attempt to be all things to all people. Any of which should disqualify him to be the leader of the U.S.
McCain's YouTube Problem Just Became a Nightmare
Description from Robert Greenwald (of Brave New Films):
There's no question John McCain is getting a free ride from the mainstream press. But with the power of YouTube and the blogosphere, we can provide an accurate portrayal of the so-called Maverick. We can put the brakes on his free ride!
Since we first released The Real McCain a year ago, our REAL McCain series has garnered close to 2 million views, with over 13,000 comments and tens of thousands more in petition signatures! Clearly, John McCain's record is something the public wants to discuss, and yet the corporate media is doing NOTHING to present the truth. We feel obliged to continue countering the mainstream media's love of McCain. And so we thought it was high time for a sequel: The Real McCain 2.
We're doing everything to get the facts out there about McCain. Join us in making a concerted effort to tell the story that corporate media refuses to tell. E-mail this video to all of your friends and family members, news blogs and other local media outlets.
According to Cliff Schecter, author of The Real McCain: Why Conservatives Don't Trust Him And Why Independents Shouldn't: "It is dangerous for a democracy when a presidential candidate can lie with impunity, change positions on a whim, and physically and verbally threaten others and virtually none of it is reported by a besotted media eagerly awaiting the next moment when he might slap their backs in friendship."
The mainstream press may not do their job, but we can surely do ours. It is crucial that we alert the public to the REAL McCain, and it is crucial we act now, before it's too late.

Hilarious!
Of course, Obama is no better.
I think we are in deep doodoo,
Did you see where he said the the Tony Resco that got convicted in not "the Tony I knew".
Pastor Wright was not the Paster "he knew".
And when he makes a deal with the mad leader of Iran, and the Leader screws us, he will say. "That is not the Amamadinthehead I knew"!
Just wait till October when the Republicans bring out the stuff of Obama.
Anonymouseunemployed.
All I can say is, Thank God the democrats don't lie.
Obama would never lie to us!
I trust him with MY LIFE!
Then you are a moron.
Anonymouse the third.
That's what I like about the people who post here. They inspire such scintillating discussions.
Every time John McCain gets in front of a group of people he tells us that Nuclear Power is safe. Really!!? Safe!!?? Really!!? Didn't the Russian's kill a spy with a small amount of this "safe" technology.

Would you call the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki "safe"?

If this technology is so "safe", then why are we afraid that it might get into the hands of Terrorists?
Nuclear Plants Subject to Terrorism, Earthquakes, States Warn

America's most vulnerable terrorist targets today include the more than 100 nuclear reactors throughout the country. But, despite being repeatedly warned that terrorists have plans to attack nuclear power plants, the Bush Administration will continue to push for legislation that designates the Yucca Mountain Repository in Nevada as the nation's premier storage facility for over 77,000 tons worth of radioactive nuclear waste. Upon completion of this project, Nevada and its neighbor states will become the deadliest terrorist target on Earth.

Spent Fuel (Nuclear Waste) Facts
================================
- Low-level radioactive waste requires between 10 to 100 years of decay to be rendered safe.

- High-level radioactive waste remains dangerous for thousands of years.

Despite several reasons to help Shoshone protect their territory:
- Paleo-Indian stewardship spanning thousands of years (honoring stewardship and perseverance)
- Territory held sacred by several Indian tribes (federal protection and religious freedom)
- Ancient Paleo-Indian rock art (federally protected and historically significant)
- Treaty of Ruby Valley 1863 (agreement does not allow nuclear waste disposal)
- Federal Protection (historic sites and religious artifacts)
- Yucca Mountain above an active earthquake fault line (the Bow Ridge earthquake fault line)
- Ancient volcanic region (how long will it remain dormant)
The agreed uses of the Treaty of Ruby Valley 1863 do not include a disposal site for highly radioactive waste, but despite this fact President Bush has designated Yucca Mountain, a site within the Ruby Valley lands, as the nation’s first nuclear waste repository.

Southern California Scientist's in the 1950s questioned the responsibility of using fossil fuels. In 1957, scientists began to talk about the lasting effects on the planet (Global Warming & Climate Change) and on human health (carciogenic effects & pollution) from burning fossil fuels.
We are currently seeing the effects of being controlled by this enormously powerful world-wide industry and lobby with little to no recourse built into the decision making process. We concolidate the power of the masses into the hands of a few extremely rich and extremely powerful people with little to no oversight whatsoever.
Is it any surprise that when we do this, an industry like the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership becomes poised to take the place of "Big Oil" and the Fossil Fuel Industry. We start off by placing all of our eggs in one basket. We tout the supposed benefits and deny the real costs. Then when the industry grows exponentially in power and influence and eventually gains the backing of Presidents, Dictators, and Governments around the world who use it as a political weapon. Then we find it difficult to change until are backs are against the wall.
We are now making the same mistakes with the 1940s Nuclear Energy Industry, that we once made with fossil fuels. We allow a world-wide dependency to be built on this industry so that it controls people and not the other way around. We are now going down the same road with Nuclear Energy by calling continuing to call it "safe" while, at the same time, brushing aside the truth. We are doing the same thing, but expecting different results.
