McCain has repeatedly oppose federal laws that would further protect those Americans working as Doctors, Nurses and other Support Staff in abortion clinics. He has opposed federal laws for stiff punishment of anti-abortion terrorist that bomb clinics and otherwise hurt working Americans or patients in these clinics. Is there a difference in the reasons you bomb innocent people or are all domestic terrorist equal?

If McCain is callous about infringing on the natural rights of a citizen for political expedience, if he becomes president, would he likewise trample on the rights of U.S. citizens whenever it suits him?

According to a survey by CNN Money on the average plumber salary across the country the average salary of a plumber in this country is $44,500 per year. If Joe were to purchase the plumbing business he currently works at there is no way his profit would be $250,000 a year unless he and his staff had virtually no down time and were working 6 days a week. The cost of repairs, materials, etc. and the charge to customers as well as paying salaries and and various insurance premiums could never net Joe the plumber an after paid expense gross income of $250,000 a year. What do you think? Was Joe a plant for McCain to try to use against Obama?

With his pick of Palin as VP instead of his first choice - Joe Liberman; he has upset many respected republicans. Matthew Dowd, a prominent political consultant and chief strategist for George W. Bush's reelection campaign is one of them. He says:

He put somebody unqualified on that ballot and he put the country at risk, he knows that."

Alaska panel finds Palin abused power in firing

What do you think of the entry in his memoir:

"I didn't decide to run for president to start a national crusade for the political reforms I believed in or to run a campaign as if it were some grand act of patriotism. In truth, I wanted to be president because it had become my ambition to be president. . . . In truth, I'd had the ambition for a long time."

McCain: "You could say, Look, is this guy, Laden, really the bad guy that's depicted? Most of us have never heard of him before. And where there is a parallel with Vietnam is: What's plan B? What do we do next? We sent our troops into Vietnam to protect the bases. Lyndon Johnson said, Only to protect the bases. Next thing you know....Well, we've declared to the terrorists that we're going to strike them wherever they live. That's fine. But what's next? That's where there might be some comparison."

With the revelation of anti-environmental positons, misrepresentations and lies is Palin’s trust factor slipping?

It has now been learned that most of the things that gave Gov. Palin her shine as stated in her acceptance speech were either misrepresentations or false statements. As listed below various journalist have fact checked her claims and found the following:

PERSONAL COOK - During the acceptance speech Governor Palin stated that she didn’t see why the Governor needed a personal chief/cook so she fired the cook and sometimes her children miss her cooking. In fact, she reassigned her as an administrator and she now travels with Palin to cook for her wherever she goes.

SELLING STATE PLANE - She spoke about selling the Alaskan governments plane on “e-Bay” in fact she attempted to sell it on E-Bay four times. No one took the initial bid. Subsequently the plane was sold through an aviation auction house at a $800,000 loss, Not on E-bay.

FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY - Palin made a trip to her church, in October 2007, the Palin family went on a tour of the Hub Juneau Christian Teen Center, where Palin and her family worship when they are in Juneau. The state gave the center $25,000, according to a May 2008 memo. She appears to be financially supporting and/or donating tax payer money to her church.

Palin has continued to repeat the already exposed lie that she said, "No, thanks," to the famous "bridge to nowhere" (McCain's favorite example of wasteful federal spending). In fact, she said, "Yes, please," until this project became a symbol and political albatross.

EARMARKS - As Mayor Palin she hired a lobbyist for the explicit purpose of earmarks. Among the spending projects Palin helped obtain through the earmark process: $500,000 for a youth shelter, $1.9 million for a transportation hub, $900,000 for sewer repairs and $15 million for a rail project, according to an analysis by the nonpartisan watchdog group; the problem is because of the oil revenues Alaska, taxed as 3/4's the per barrell value, doesn't have a need for money.

ALL TAXPAYERS PAYING ALASKA UNDER PALIN

Regarding the oil revenues Alaska is, in essence, an adjunct member of OPEC. It has four different taxes on oil, which produce more than 89% of the state's unrestricted revenue. On average, three-quarters of the value of a barrel of oil is taken by the state government before that oil is permitted to leave the state. Alaska residents each get a yearly check for about $2,000 from oil revenues, plus an additional $1,200 pushed through by Palin last year to take advantage of rising oil prices. Any sympathy the governor of Alaska expresses for folks in the lower 48 who are suffering from high gas prices or can't afford to heat their homes is strictly crocodile tears.

As if it couldn't support itself, Alaska also ranks No. 1, year after year, in money it sucks in from Washington. In 2005 (the most recent figures), according to the Tax Foundation, Alaska ranked 18th in federal taxes paid per resident ($5,434) but first in federal spending received per resident ($13,950). Its ratio of federal spending received to federal taxes paid ranks third among the 50 states, and in the absolute amount it receives from Washington over and above the amount it sends to Washington, Alaska ranks No. 1.

She obviously is not an agent of change unless she is referring to a change of jobs. She is not the marvick she is be labled as and seems to only be "a fundraising tool" for McCain.

At the start of the faith forum we were told that McCain was in a room known as the "cone of silence". The very first thing he said when he sat down was "I was trying to listen on the other side of the wall".

We now know he was not in a cone of silence, we know that he had left his hotel and was in his car on his way to the forum. During the interview McCain answered some questions even before they were asked as if he knew they were coming. Other republicans that have known him for many years have said it was his best presentation ever.

McCain clearly lied when he said he was trying to listen from the other side of the wall. Do you believe him and did you find his answers creditable, including the story about the angel in the snow during his capture. A story that some experts believe was taken from another war soldiers account of his imprisonment.

Considering the following do you think these issues warrent impeacement:

1) violation of the voting rights act during his second election.

2)Initial warning from the out going Clinton Administration were ignored regarding the possible strikes at US interest.

3) Creation of a progranda campaign that ignored or nullified intelligence against Iraq's terror links.

3) Repeated warning and upgrades in the national security alert status to scare the populus prior to elections and after the elections no security threats seemed to ever occur.

5) Deceiving congress and Americans into beliving that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction; while being fully aware that there was no evidence, intelligence or proof of that claim.

6) Invading Iraq without the full consent of congress against the consitution whereas only the congress of the United States has the authority to issue orders to go to war.

7) False accounts of US soliders deaths, how they died and how many (Private Tillman for example)

i.e., list any senate bills he has written or passed; any pubic voluntary work or private funding or support groups he belongs too. Anything concrete that he has done that would not have been done without his input.
