McCain Gets the Boot From Project Vote Smart
Project Vote Smart, the nonpartisan voter-education nonprofit, confirms today that it has kicked John McCain off its board. Mother Jones reported on Monday that PVS was prepared to make the move due to McCain's nine-month refusal to fill out its Political Courage Test. According to PVS President Richard Kimball, the nonprofit has a rule that bars nonrespondents from serving on its board.
PVS contacted the McCain campaign 25 times from June 2007 to February 2008 in the hopes of avoiding the embarrassment this move entails for both the organization and one of its long-time board members. Eventually, however, they were simply left with no choice. The senator who made his career on straight talk couldn't spare some for the organization he served.
You can see the full story in Monday's report.
Where has all the 'straight talk' gone? I guess if hypocrisy gets you elected, then you can seek the endorsements of religious nut bags that are worse than those you previously declared agents of intolerance, and of course show your political cowardice by not taking the test of the organization you used to back.
There is no straight talk. It's a pander here, a pander there, here a pander, there a pander, everywhere a pander pander.
McCain just wants to be president before he dies and he will say and do anything to accomplish that.
Period.
How did they boot him off Project Vote Smart? He's still there. Clinton and Obama have also both failed to fill out the Political Courage Test. It only takes a few seconds to go to the site to figure that one out.
Scotth is correct. Go to Project Vote Smart and do a search on Obama, he has also repeatedly refused to take the very same test.
