McCain cheating on his wife, Keating 5, Cindy's drug abuse and prescription fakery...

It looked like a puff piece at first, but they're really putting a lot out there. Makes McCain look awful!

1. The Rolling Stone's article on him this month is equally ugly...
It's hard to make this man look good, once you actually start looking at his background.

2. I'm glad to hear this but, actually, McCain makes himself look awful.
ABC is just reporting the facts.

4. Definitely. But it's nice to see someone do it. I don't think most people know about the Keating 5.
McCain has a really shady, slimy history after he came home from Vietnam, and no one in the news media will talk about it. They treat him like he's had no history. I think if most people knew his whole story, they wouldn't think of voting for the guy, but no one's been telling that story.

7. They're showing both, but Obama doesn't have anywhere near the scandal in his life that McCain does.
If you were an undecided voter watching this, I think you'd be leaning Obama right about now. :)

10. The ironic part is, Obama doesn't have skeletons; it pisses the
rethugs off. I adore it, him, his wife, his kids, his ideas, and the possibilities!

9. Oh wow, at the end...when they spliced together....
both McCain's and Obama's convention speech, McCain sounded soooooo weak and forced against Obama's fiery and passionate words.
