The Real McCain Record International Politics by Mark R. Levin National Review Jan 11, 2008 There’s a reason some of John McCain's conservative supporters avoid discussing his record. They want to talk about his personal story, his position on the surge, his supposed electability. But whenever the rest of his career comes up, the knee-jerk reply is to characterize the inquiries as attacks. The McCain domestic record is a disaster. To say he fought spending, most particularly earmarks, is to nibble around the edges and miss the heart of the matter. For starters, consider: McCain-Feingold — the most brazen frontal assault on political speech since Buckley v. Valeo. McCain-Kennedy — the most far-reaching amnesty program in American history. McCain-Lieberman — the most onerous and intrusive attack on American industry — through reporting, regulating, and taxing authority of greenhouse gases — in American history. McCain-Kennedy-Edwards — the biggest boon to the trial bar since the tobacco settlement, under the rubric of a patients’ bill of rights. McCain-Reimportantion of Drugs — a significant blow to pharmaceutical research and development, not to mention consumer safety (hey Rudy, pay attention, see link). And McCain’s stated opposition to the Bush 2001 and 2003 tax cuts was largely based on socialist, class-warfare rhetoric — tax cuts for the rich, not for the middle class. The public record is full of these statements. Today, he recalls only his insistence on accompanying spending cuts. As chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, McCain was consistently hostile to American enterprise, from media and pharmaceutical companies to technology and energy companies. McCain also led the Gang of 14, which prevented the Republican leadership in the Senate from mounting a rule change that would have ended the systematic use (actual and threatened) of the filibuster to prevent majority approval of judicial nominees. And then there’s the McCain defense record. His supporters point to essentially one policy strength, McCain’s early support for a surge and counterinsurgency. It has now evolved into McCain taking credit for forcing the president to adopt General David Petreaus’s strategy. Where’s the evidence to support such a claim? Moreover, Iraq is an important battle in our war against the Islamo-fascist threat. But the war is a global war, and it most certainly includes the continental United States, which, after all, was struck on 9/11. How does McCain fare in that regard? McCain-ACLU — the unprecedented granting of due-process rights to unlawful enemy combatants (terrorists). McCain has repeatedly called for the immediate closing of Guantanamo Bay and the introduction of al-Qaeda terrorists into our own prisons — despite the legal rights they would immediately gain and the burdens of managing such a dangerous population. While McCain proudly and repeatedly points to his battles with Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, who had to rebuild the U.S. military and fight a complex war, where was McCain in the lead-up to the war — when the military was being dangerously downsized by the Clinton administration and McCain’s friend, former Secretary of Defense Bill Cohen? Where was McCain when the CIA was in desperate need of attention? Also, McCain was apparently in the dark about al-Qaeda like most of Washington, despite a decade of warnings. My fingers are crossed that at the next debate, either Fred Thompson or Mitt Romney will find a way to address McCain’s record. (Mike Huckabee won’t, as he is apparently in the tank for him.) — Mark R. Levin served as chief of staff to Attorney General Edwin Meese in the Reagan administration, and he is a nationally syndicated radio talk show host.

David Icke Articles JOHN McCAIN, the alleged main challenger to George W. Bush for the Republican nomination, is a war "hero" we are told who was captured by the CIA-controlled North Vietnamese during the CIA-created Vietnam War. Two former Special Operations operatives and Vietnam Veterans organisations like US Veterans Dispatch have a rather different story of McCain's war record. As a politician he has viciously attacked those groups seeking justice for Vietnam veterans and prisoners of war. Marley himself was saved from prosecution by his personal attorney, William Rehnquist, who went on to be the present Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court!! When Hensley came out of prison he was rewarded by Marley with a Budweiser distributorship, which is now in the hands of…John McCain. The last estimate I saw it was worth $200 million. Quayle grew up in Paradise Valley, near Phoenix, next door to Robert Welsh, the man who started the John Birch Society. This claims to be against the New World Order, but is, in fact, at it's top level, an exercise in damage limitation and a "fishing" operation to attract out of the shadows those who know about what is going on. For more on his criminal connections and family background see:

.
At the very least one must ask why a man who says he fought for "freedom" and American "values" should be involved with the kind of company he keeps.
McCain is a puppet of the Phoenix-Arizona mobster network, the state he represents as a senator. To understand the background to John McCain, you need to know about the Kemper Marley organised crime network which runs Arizona. Marley was the protégé of Sam Bronfman of the major Illuminati bloodline family in North America which owns the liquor giant Seagrams and Universal Music, the biggest music company in the world. See related article on Time Warner. Marley had also been connected to what remained of the Al Capone operation.
Kemper Marley, now dead, owned the Arizona liquor monopoly, United Liquor. In 1948 two employees of this "company" were jailed for federal liquor violations and one of them was Jim Hensley, the general manager, and father in law to…John McCain.
When a reporter on the Arizona Republic, Don Bolles, threatened to expose the Marley rackets and the big names involved, he was murdered when a bomb exploded in his car. Bolles was wheeling and dealing with these guys and so knew the truth. His last words were: "Adamson, Emprise, the mafia."
John Adamson was a hit man and Emprise was a dog track operation which changed it's name to Sportservice. It is controlled by the Kemper Marley mob.
Marley, with his massive wealth and influence, controlled all the congressmen and senators in Arizona, as his successors still do. These include our "war hero", John McCain.
Another Phoenix figure, the Marley-connected Charles Keating, paid John McCain $112,000 and a deal between Keating and McCain's wife involving a shopping centre, netted half a million dollars in six months. Keating has faced criminal charges for corruption.
You will never be told the true background to any of this by the Arizona media, like the Arizona Republic and the Phoenix Gazette. They were started by a guy called Eugene Pullium, at the instigation of, yes, you guessed it, Kemper Marley.
Eugene Pullium is, in turn, the grandfather of Dan Quayle, the Brain-of-America who was vice president to George Bush. Quayle, Bush, and Colin Powell, the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, were the trio who orchestrated the Gulf War. All three are the bloodline of England's King George II. Just a co-incidence, nothing to worry about.
These are the webs and networks in which we find, John McCain,"war hero". He's as corrupt as they come and would be a perfect running mate for George W. Bush. The "Dream Ticket"? Bloody nightmare more like.
