Senator John McCain says that, as a veteran, he supports our troops. Yet John McCain is not getting on board with S22, a bill that would provide full education funding for veterans who served on or after September 11, 2001.

Sign the peition demanding John McCain to stand behind his claims to support our troops and support this bill.

John Hagee doesn't think so. Whew! And I was worried there for a minute!

Now that John McCain has secured the Republican nomination, it seems time to take a closer look at the man vying to govern the United States. Specifically, since John McCain fashions himself as the "Straight-talk Express," I want to have a quick look at his integrity.

Most people who no longer get to call ourselves "youths" recall that John McCain was one of five senators who took sizeable campaign contributions from Charles Keating of the Lincoln Savings and Loan Association in turn for pressuring regulators not to seize the S&L which had essentially become insolvent due to its role in what was, at the time, the junk bond crisis.

According to Daily Kos, John McCain will face an FEC challenge. Tomorrow, Howard Dean, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee will file a formal complaint that John McCain violated the very campaign finance law McCain co-sponsored in the Senate: the McCain-Feingold Act.

If you read or listen to any of the popular conservative pundits these days, John McCain is, by no means, a darling among G.O.P. convservatives.  That goes without saying.  But, more recently, we have seen a barrage of seemingly self-defeating commentary blasting the apparent front-runner, who happens to also be the G.O.P.'s only hope of retaining control of the White House next year.  When a pundit like Ann Coulture goes on air and announces that she would actively campaign for Hillary Clinton, should John McCain get the nomination, we know something's in the air.

As we eagerly anticipate the outcome of today's Primary battles, let's see where these candidates stand with fat people...

Hey... you gotta hand it to the "Straight-talk Express!"
