John McCain: Town Hall 06/05/08

2008-07-26T08:23:19Z

John McCain
Town Hall
Buena Vista, FL 06/05/08

TRANSCRIPT:
QUESTIONER: Hey I'm Gil Theland, retired editor and publisher of the Tampa Tribune. Racism and Sexism, both subtle and not subtle were unsettling factors in the Democrats nominating process, what will you do to prevent this disrespect from happening in the general election race.

JOHN MCCAIN: Well, first off could I say I believe the overwhelming majority of American's have made a judgment and will continue to make judgments based solely on what they feel are the qualifications of the candidate. And I think it's frankly something that maybe we should look at glass full or maybe 9/10 about the fact that an African American and a woman both competed for the highest office in this country. I think it's something that we should be really proud of. Now there were elements that entered the race, there's elements in America on extremes, as we all know, that sometimes harm the image. But from literally thousands and thousands of hours of having contact with average American citizens I'm proud of the way that they judge us. I'm proud of the fact that Hillary Clinton, Senator Clinton inspired a generation of young women. As a father of three daughters, I congratulate her. And I congratulate her for her tenaciousness too; she worked very, very hard. And Senator Obama, I feel the same way, he inspired people in America in a very, very impressive way. Yea there were comments made from time to time, but I got the impression when those comments, or those things, came up that the voters resounded rejected that kind of thing, they don't want that in the United States of America. And when I see the growing presence and influence of people from all walks of life in America I'm more proud of America. But in direct to answer your question I will do everything I can to keep anything that may be that kind of ugliness out of this political campaign. And the best way you do that I think is to show always respect for your opponent. No matter who that opponent is, and I have a record of that in the campaigns that I've engaged in in my political life. Thank you.

Struggles for Democratic Reform in China - Mark Leonard

2008-07-26T08:44:50Z

Mark Leonard, Executive Director of the European Council on Foreign Relations, discusses the current state of democratic reforms in China, arguing that experimentation with democracy may have the result of making the Chinese one-party state stronger rather than weaker.

-----

Mark Leonard is the Executive Director of the European Council on Foreign Relations. He is also an adviser to companies and governments on China as well as Middle East reform.

Everybody Must Get Sconed

2008-07-26T08:22:23Z

Citizen Kate finds the key to peace at a Libertarian Pot and Tea party.

I went to my first ever pot and tea party sponsored by the Marijuana Project at the Libertarian National Convention in Denver. I was looking for peace. And there's nothing more peaceful than weed. Just ask the Native Americans. They passed around the pipe to stop war.

So I ate everything looking for "peace". I wonder if all Libertarian candidates enjoy the peace weed? Can you imagine Bob Barr smoking from the peace pipe? Or Mike Gravel? Or Lady Liberty? Think about it. If we all smoked weed, soldiers in Iraq would be laughing and hugging each other. Peace and hugs.

Note to self: We need to stop all wars, including the war on drugs. Even Homeland Security knows that.

Peace and hugs.

Down Goes Hillary Party - Suck it Terry McAuliffe!

2008-06-10T16:31:13Z

Unity my ass after all the crap Hillary has pulled during this campaign. Ok, give me a couple weeks and I'll have a little heart for her supporters, but tonight Hill and Ter can suck it. How dare you use Republican fear tactics to exploit the American people Hillary. You are not a role model to women/men and your speech was far from gracious and way overdue. Hopefully, you take a hard look at what you've become during this campaign, take a complete u-turn, and actually work hard in the Senate to improve the lives of the American people. It also might be good for you to use some of those "leadership" skills you claim to have to stop the war in Iraq and prevent future ones (Iran) from happening.

The Real Hillary: What Happened

2008-07-26T08:22:23Z

Citizen Kate meets up with some A-list Politicians, including Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain, at the Libertarian National Convention in Denver.

I'm so excited. I went to my first big Libertarian event--a masquerade ball. I dressed as the future Lady Liberty. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning for...freedom.

The night was a total blast. Libertarians really know how to party. Wearing masks allows you to be free to say what you want any old time. I poured drinks for freedom, met Presidential elect Bob Barr, and hung with some of this nation's forefathers like Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. I can't believe it!

I actually spent most of my evening with Hillary Clinton. A lot of people don't know the real Hillary. But I do. She even sent me a personal email with a secret -- She plans to concede this Saturday. I know that she'll always keep what's best for this nation in mind. And the woman can dance! She's smokin'.

Note to self: If your party sucks, go to another. Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Peace and Freedom. You choose.
