Let me tell you what happened today. I can not believe this happened!
I just spoke with John McCain's office and I said that I was so upset about what John McCain did to another Vet today that I would not vote for him. I explained that I was a former Republican but that I cared about our Vets. I didn't get the chance to tell his office that I even had voted for McCain in 2000.
Instead, you'll never believe what happened.
They told me that John McCain DEFENDED John Kerry today. Not only that, but the male who spoke to me SHOUTED at me that John McCain defended John Kerry today like he did in 2004.
So I said, "Oh, I must have missed that report. Let me go listen again."
So I did.
Jump below the fold to see what happened next.
I turned on the news to listen, but I didn't hear any defense of John Kerry's military service today. I popped online and looked around to see where I had missed that defense.
Afterall, I've seen nothing but smears of John Kerry for the last two days at Huffpo and rebuttals here and here. And I wanted to SEE my former candidate actually become the Maverick and the straight-talker again and DEFEND John Kerry from Swiftboat-liar's attacks!
I searched and searched and searched...
I even asked around...John McCain's office claimed they defended JK today? You tell me. Did he?
DID McCain DEFEND John Kerry again today?
I was told no. I was given the audio link to Colonel Day's defense of John McCain. But I heard no defense of John Kerry. In fact, I learned that Day was a member of the Swiftboat Veterans for Bush who attacked John Kerry in the 2004 election. Yet, not once on that whole call did I hear Colonel Day apologize for swiftboating a fellow Vet.
John McCain actually had the nerve to hire a Swiftboat Vet for Bush to DEFAME John Kerry again!
Yet, this guy was actually YELLING at me! Yelling!!! He would not let me talk, instead he just shouted at me.
So I called back. That's how angry I was. This time, I got a woman who answered the phone. I told her I wanted to file a complaint with someone for the rude way I was treated and for the lies that were given to me.
She would not tell me the name of the person who yelled at me. Also she would not pass me to the office administrator. In fact, she implied that the guy who yelled at me was the office administrator and that I must have "deserved to be yelled at."
I told her I was a blogger and would let people know how the lies go very deep. Then she said, "SO...you're threatening me?" And ...so I let her know that the integrity and rudeness in which they speak to people is relevant to how he would treat constituents.
BUT...I feel that by her saying, "So you're threatening me" that it could be CODE for them doing something illegal--like wire tap me or whatever...
I asked her if I could speak to HIS boss, and she said "He's not here." SO I asked 'who's his boss" and she said, "John McCain."
So I went back to my research and couldn't find anything.
Since I was so pissed off at the way I, a constituent, and a voter was being treated, I decided to contact the media and presented them with a news tip. I told whoever reads those contact links that the lying in John McCain's office runs deep. I told them how they lied to me and treated me. I told them how McCain has a group of people around him who help him deceive and coverup and lie to constituents. He hangs with a corrupt White House, a lying SBVFB like Bud Day, and he's in bed with lobbyists too. The news tip was simple. The curruption and willful dismissing of constituents revealed that McCain lived in the same bubble as Bush does!
We, the people, deserved to know this, yet who in the media is brave enough to actually TELL the story! We NEED them to tell that story!
I called McCain's office as a taxpayer, as a possible McCain voter, and as a registered voter. So listen to me now, Mr. McCain.
Your actions in 2004 allowed John Kerry to be swiftboated. Your actions made sure that EVERY SOLDIER SERVING AND EVERY VETERAN WHO SERVED WAS SWIFTBOATED TOO!
Your actions today further swiftboated ALL of our brave men and women who serve or have served. When you knowingly hired Bud Day, to represent truth, you hired a KNOWN LIAR. And You hired an attack on all military personnel.
When my tax dollars are being spent to have your staff yell at me and LIE to me, you show me that you are not the kind of leader to stand up for right over wrong.
So hear me now, Mr. McCain.
I do not vote for people who tell lies so often that they can not tell the truth from a lie. I do not vote for people who use their office staff--whom I pay for--to verbally attack me! I do not vote for people who are so entrenched in abusing their own power that they actually forget that Bud Day isn't the good guy anymore. He lost that label the day he decided to lie about John Kerry's service.
Mr. McCain. It's time to come out of your bubble. You not only swiftboated a colleage today, you swiftboated all vets today.
We don't need another President who lives in a bubble.
P.S. I originally wasn't going to post this diary because of the 'threat' implied by the woman receptionist. Afterall, I don't want to end up in Gitmo (though I'm probably already illegally wiretapped.) But instead, I decided everyone needed to know just how easily they lie in the McCain's office. So do me a favor...spread the word to the media and shoot this diary to the top! Let McCain come out of his bubble long enough to hear from us!
