McCain wants his supporters to say nice things about him at libr'l sites...
John McCain's campaign is using their campaign website to encourage supporters to post supportive comments on political blogs, including the most well-known liberal site in the blogosphere. And to make things easier, they're including talking points with which sympathizers can use to get out the McCain message.

"Select from the numerous web, blog and news sites listed here, go there, and make your opinions supporting John McCain known," instructs the page.

McCain supporters are asked to send the details of their comment to the campaign, which in turn will verify it and then reward the supporter with "points" (assumedly to accumulate for McCain swag)

1. I'm not a supporter...but I'll start anyway...
McCain doesn't drink the blood of small children...as far as I know.


See--bipartisanship is easy, gang!

3. Lol here let me try
My friends - If Corporations didn't control everything you would have to figure out what to do with all that money, healthcare, and longer lifespan.

Gay people would be much happier if they weren't gay. Lets all beat them up and kill a few of them to scare them into renouncing their ways. That way they wouldn't suffer so much from all the beatings and fear!

Oh sorry I'm not "speaking the lingo"... lemme see if this is more in character -

U libruls hates us fer r freedomes! I CaN Haz t-Shurt nOWz?

5. Consider posting the recommended talking points in a separate thread so we can be alert for them
Seriously... We're going to have our work cut out for us as it is. People will be coming here and claiming to be Dems who used to support Hillary, and now they want us to believe they are in love with Bush 3.

6. I support McCain for retirement from positions of power and authority. If he wants to
volunteer to build houses for Habitat for Humanity, that's OK with me.

8. It's sick, if a candidate has to pay you with points to support them.
It's like the old Soviet Communist point system. WILL THEY BE SELLING BETTER HOUSING AND JOBS IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY?

If you can't support him because he is worthy than he should not be supported.

Can the Republican's get more anti American Democracy!

Lucky Daily KOS! No quickie-link to DU, though; what have we done to be so roundly slighted?!

Yes, I'm ashamed to say I searched for the site and clicked through--and there it is!

12. Unlike the Democrats, John McCain has clearly stated his Iran policy
and it has been widely quoted on the internets.

(Bomb, bomb, bomb,

26. John McCain is such a DC outsider, he didn't realize taking Charles Keating's
private jet to DC might constitute an ethics violation. Isn't that REFRESHING?

(Hell, I was a 20 (maybe less)-something political wonk and I could have told him that... :eyes:)
