Statement by John McCain on the "Stop Iran" Rally

For Immediate Release
September 18, 2008 Contact: Press Office

ARLINGTON, VA -- Today, U.S. Senator John McCain issued the following statement on the "Stop Iran" rally:

"Throughout my political career, I have sought to rise above partisanship on critical national issues. Nowhere is this more true than on important matters of national security. Earlier this year, Senator Clinton, Senator Obama and I issued a joint statement on the genocide in Darfur and pledged to support efforts to bring it to an end. Earlier this month, Senator Obama and I put the campaign aside to commemorate the seventh anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on our country and talk about the importance of national service.

"Next Monday, the day before Iranian President Ahmadinejad is to speak before the United Nations General Assembly, several organizations will sponsor an event to draw attention to the importance of halting Iran's efforts to acquire nuclear weapons. Governor Palin and I share a strong belief that a nuclear armed Iran poses a grave threat to the security of Americans and to our allies. Iran is the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism. The risk that Iran would provide terrorists with a nuclear weapon is too great for the world to ignore. Iranian President Ahmadinejad has denied the Holocaust occurred and called Israel a 'stinking corpse.' A nuclear-armed Iran would destabilize the entire region. Preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons should be a shared goal of every American, not another occasion for partisan posturing.

"Governor Palin was pleased to accept an invitation to address this rally and show her resolve on this grave national security issue, regrettably that invitation has since been withdrawn under pressure from Democratic partisans. We stand shoulder to shoulder with Republicans, Democrats and independents alike to oppose Ahmadinejad's goal of a nuclear armed Iran. Senator Obama's campaign had the opportunity to join us. Senator Obama chose politics rather than the national interest."

Palin Disinvited From Anti-Ahmadinejad Rally By Jewish Group

The organizers of an anti-Iran rally Monday rescinded their invitation to Alaska Governor Sarah Palin after Democrats protested that her presence would turn the event into a political rally, McCain campaign and Jewish community sources said.

The Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations created a political tempest by inviting Palin to speak without clearing her invitation with the head of their other religion, Senator Hillary Clinton.

This is why the "organized" Jewish community is generally an embarrassment to itself. These are the same types of folks and organizations that stood silent during the Holocaust because it would have been politically incorrect and inconvenient to the Roosevelt administration. They should be ashamed of themselves. As a Jew, I would look to the likes of Palin to defend the Jewish people well before I would depend on wimpy American Jewish organizations.

Report: David Kernell Identified as the Scumball Hacker into Palin E-mail

DEMOCRAT VALUES: 20 year old Son of Tennessee Democrat State Representative Mike Kernell, David Kernell, has been fingered as the hacker who broke in to Sarah palin's private e-mail account and help splash it all over the Internet.
To quote Janeane Garofalo: "Democrats are fundamentally more decent people".

Fannie and Freddie: Obama is like Family

Keep in mind that moneybags-Obama received more money from these two failed institutions that control over half of all US mortgages, than any other Congressman other than Chris Dodd:

Oh yeah! Obama's really going to shake up Washington. In bed with credit lobbyists, never confronted a single Democrat on anything, the product of corrupt Chicago machine politics. Real "change" we can believe in.

Michelle Obama asked voters Thursday to make their choice on the issues, not because, "I like that guy" or, "she's cute."

Tony Blair's Whako Sister-in-Law: This Place is like Darfur or a Concentration Camp

the loony left-wing sister-in-law of former British PM Tony Blair, Lauren Booth, is stuck in Gaza. She arrived there illegally by boat and now can't secure entry into Israel or Egypt. So she has taken to talking to the media by phone, giving hysterical reports about how Gaza is like Darfur where people are starving to death in the streets and being chased down by imaginary evil Jews who don't even live there. She then described Gaza as similar to a German concentration camp. All of this rhetoric was given just after a visit to her local Gaza corner store....which also looks just like any corner store in Darfur or Auschwitz.

Biden: paying higher taxes is "patriotic"

Gaff-machine Biden calls on Americans to be more "patriotic" and pay higher taxes. Of course, the original patriots who founded this country rebelled precisely because of higher taxes. Biden did not mention if he considers military service a patriotic act... only taxes. Does this mean that Biden is challenging the patriotism of those who oppose higher taxes?

Democratic Leadership: "No One Knows What to do"

The Democratic-controlled Congress, acknowledging that it isn't equipped to lead the way to a solution for the financial crisis and can't agree on a path to follow, is likely to just get out of the way.

Lawmakers say they are unlikely to take action before, or to delay, their planned adjournments -- Sept. 26 for the House of Representatives, a week later for the Senate. While they haven't ruled out returning after the Nov. 4 elections, they would rather wait until next year unless Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke, who are leading efforts to contain the crisis, call for help.

One reason, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said yesterday, is that ``no one knows what to do'' at the moment.

CAT FIGHT! Hillary Bolts From Large NY Anti-Ahmadinejad Rally Because of Palin

Hillary decided to bolt from a large rally being organized against the UN appearance of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in New York. Hillary was originally scheduled as one of the main speakers, but when she heard that Sarah Palin will also be speaking, queen Hillary bolted! God forbid that Hillary be upstaged by that ....little person from Alaska. At least now we know how committed and sincere she is to that cause. She is more concerned about an appearance with Palin than she is about the insane, nuke-seeking Ahmadinejad.

Biden: Many Americans are Just too Stupid and intimidated to Appreciate the deep Intelligence of Barack Obama

He stands by smiling as he is introduced by someone who calls his opponent Palin "a bucket of fluff". Keep it up guys. The voters will decide on election day who is unintelligent and a bucket of fluff.

Here is Biden justifying the war to topple Sadam Hussein:

Who Can Better Relate to the Average American?

From the folks that like to criticize Palin as "out of touch" and question how many houses McCain's wife owns:

Barack Obama's Multi-million dollar mansion in Chicago:
Joe Biden's Multi-million dollar mansion on the water in Delaware:
Al Gore's Multi-million dollar mansion in Tennessee:
Sarah Palin's first and only House, built by her Husband Todd:
Hmmmmm...

I'm really struggling to get a feel for who's more in touch with the real America.

Moneybags-Obama Goes to Hollywood for a $28,000 per plate Fundraiser...And to complain About the Economy

Limosine-Liberals in Hollywood are so "concerned" about the little guy that they are fighting to secure a seat for themselves at a $28,000 per plate fundraiser for Moneybags-Obama... and to hear from him about how bad our economy is and how much he really really cares for the little guy.

BaBa has no time for Hurricane relief, but plenty of time for moneybags-Obama's fundraiser:

McCartney Ignores Death Threats, Will Perform in Israel

Debbie Schlussel has the story down cold, but generally speaking, McCartney is showing uncommon resolve in the face of public death threats:

"I was approached by different groups and political bodies who asked me not to come here. I refused. I do what I think, and I have many friends who support Israel."

Omar Bakri, an Islamic preacher expelled from Britain and now living in Lebanon, said McCartney's decision to perform as part of Israel's 60th anniversary celebrations has turned him into the enemy of Muslims worldwide.

"If he values his life, Mr. McCartney must not come to Israel," Bakri was quoted as saying. "He will not be safe there. The sacrifice operatives will be waiting for him." . . .

McCartney has also been pressured by pro-Palestinian groups to cancel the show, but has resisted.

Barack Obama is Talking Down the US Economy, Hoping for a Run on the Banks

As a matter of leadership and responsibility, McCain continues to express confidence in the fundamentals of the US economy; The Obama campaign on the other hand senses political advantage in trashing and talking down the economy to the maximum extent possible, and is ridiculing responsible discussion. Apparently obama sees political hay in spreading panic and causing a run on the bank.

RCP: Electoral Map Currently Shows Likely McCain Victory

Another Neocon Victory shaping up well. And when we say "Neocon" we mean it in a good way.

Assuming that McCain can hold the bulk of the 2004 toss-up states like Ohio, Nevada, Virginia, Colorado, Obama is toast.
