John McCain may have been a man of honor at one time in his life.  He was a man of courage.

Now, he's a liar.  And a thief.  Literally.

Today, on a day he reached out with one hand to reach out in the spirit of national unity, with the other he slaps the very notion of decency in the face.

The lies, the smears, and the crimes below the fold.

God bless Mitt Romney.

Multiple Mansion Mitt, when asked about McCain's houses, offered this stirring defense:

Speaking to reporters at a lunch sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor, Romney said that while McCain deserved his houses because of the "hard work" of himself and his family, "Barack Obama got a special deal from a convicted felon."

"Hard work" now includes dumping your long-suffering wife for a much younger heiress?

John McCain is a misogynist pig.  

When he's not joking about how they like to be raped by animals he's making misogynistic jokes about Chelsea Clinton and the US Attorney General.

And he doesn't even respect his own wife, whom he as dubbed a trollop and a c@nt.

But, not content to do that, he now has trotted his blonde heiress wife Cindy (is he trying to play Rick Solomon to her Paris Hilton?) in front of the crowd in Sturgis, S.D. to pander to some good ol' fashioned red-blooded Americans.

The details below the fold.

The Daily News broke this story.  

Hillary Clinton asks not to be nominated at Democratic National Convention

Yep, you read that right.  Hillary doesn't want her name in nomination.  

This was always going to be her call.  And that's her right.  It is HER decision.  Not Howard Dean's.  Not some nutjob PUMA's.

Some good Democrats here keep on insisting that the PUMA's should be shown more respect, that they are still Democrats, but that they just dissent on this one race.

I'm sorry, but these folks are not seeing their friends in a clear light.

The PUMA's are not Democrats.  They are Republicans.

If you want proof, check below the fold.

We've already had at least one troll diary about Ludacris's new song, which heavily promotes Barack Obama (though, not as much as it promotes Ludacris, and trying to tar Obama with that song's misogyny.

Amongst the offending lyrics:

Hillary hated on you, so that b^$&%* is irrelevant
Jesse talking slick and apologizing for what?
if you said it then you meant it how you want it have a gut!

McCain don't belong in ANY chair unless he's paralyzed
Yeah I said it cause Bush is mentally handicapped

The campaign's response below the fold:

You've heard the latest rumor and follow-up demand from the deadenders who claimed that Howard Dean is conspiring to keep Clinton off the ballot at Denver and prevent a roll call vote.

Howard Dean, giving an interview to Chris Bower, shoots that one down.

We knew that John McCain made a piggish joke about Chelsea Clinton having Janet Reno for a father.

We knew that he called his wife a 'trollop' and a 'c@nt.'

We knew he just giggled when someone asked him 'how are we going to beat the bitch?'

We had no idea what a pig John McCain really is.
