If you want to make people queasy about John McCain, there's no shortage of material. Here's a man who cheated on his disabled wife and the mother of his daughter. Here's a man who ended up divorcing her and, in short order, marrying the other woman. And here's a man who's very sketchy about the details and the chronology of that portion of his life history.

The Los Angeles Times delved into this recently.

Bill Clinton was forced to testify under oath about his alleged dalliances, and unlike McCain, he never dumped his wife and the mother of his daughter. Let's see how McCain would fare if he had to testify under oath about his dalliances. Well, this may be an occasion where a few senior moments could come in handy.

Douglas, I guess you're right. Making personal attacks against a presidential candidate for events of 30 years prior has always proved to be completely ineffective. See: John Kerry, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, 2004.

We remove comments that are off topic, threatening, or commercial in nature, and we do not allow sock-puppetry (impersonating someone else)—or any kind of puppetry, for that matter. We never censor comments based on ideology.

What the American people should actually be outraged by is the crass pandering and manipulation by oil industry lobbyists, whose collective dicks you seem to be sucking like a champion.

The post is so full of shit over an attempted political stunt that didn't get the traction that they hoped for. Even the White House has admitted that offshore drilling would take 5 to 7 years to show any effect - that effect? Drop the cost of gas a whole nickel. These are the same assholes who fucked everything up in the first place and who recently sank continuing tax breaks for the development of alternative energy sources. The conservatives are just covering their political base - the oil industry. So, whenever you see some group whose name contains the catch word "freedom" you can pretty much expect that you are about to be lied to. If it smells like shit, it is shit.

It isn't a solution- not the kind we need. What need is something that doesn't DELAY, but something that changes the current status quo. And honestly? I believe many of us would have more sympathy of America didn't have the least fuel-efficient cars in the world. How about we put money and effort into research into alternative fuel sources instead of alternative sources for oil (a resource that, as evidence in today's industrial climate, is not going to sustain us much longer)?

Honestly? Stop spinning this as a "Democrats are snubbing Americans" and moreso "Democrats don't believe you can make a case for a dying energy source that won't cause greater harm to our nation by continuing to depend fully upon it".

Offering minimal, TEMPORARY relief at the pump? Is that REALLY what we want? A solution that will only fix things for a couple months? Are you an idiot?
