Someone sent me the following. I haven't had time to check its validity, but where there is smoke..... It seems this happened before McCain became the nominated Republican candidate but it didn't seem to make the media (which is, in itself, suspicious).
=======
Under the guise of a fundraiser with members of the Hollywood elite, Sen. McCain met behind closed doors with Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Kirstie Alley, and John Travolta for over two hours. When the Arizona Senator emerged from the meeting, he announced confidently that he has completely embraced the tenents of Scientology and Dianetics, and will begin at once to "achieve certainty of my spiritual existence and my relationship to the Supreme Being".
Many GOP pundits describe Sen. McCain's conversion as political suicide, although some believe the move is pure genius. Bill O'Reilly stated on his show, "Romney's a Mormon, Huckabee's a Baptist, Obama's a Muslim, Clinton's a broad, so McCain needs something besides being an old white guy. The 'Supreme Being' angle covers all of 'em."
Edward Simmons of the Arizona Republic wrote, "The brainwashing power of Scientology is far greater than the brainwashing power of Fox News. It's a very strategic alliance for someone who advocates 100 more years in Iraq."
The move may also be a boon to Sen. McCain's floundering fundraising efforts, as many wealthy Scientologists are contributing heavily to the campaign. A source close to McCain has told us, "The flow of money into the campaign began almost instantly after the announcement."
MGB: McCain a Scientologist?
I read that somewhere - can't remember where, though.
Mornin' Eric...now that would be something! That's not the group I want to be involved in political power in any way...
"McCain needs something besides being an old white guy." That's funny!
Tony
This has got to be a joke.
The Google machines are currently getting a hammering :-)

You know those are all Obama supporters... Who in hollywood have you heard speak out for McCain???
They would not even shake McCains hand let alone talk to him. He would also not talk to them. They would never be in the same orbit.

Your cred was pretty low before but when you begin posts in this way, it prooves that perhaps you haven't hit bottom just yet.
Amazing........

I received the post below from a friend today and have had no time to check it all out for validity, so you have to be the judge as to it’s accuracy, but it sure does ring true with me...

At least I was being sarcastic when I made MY post.

Come on Marc... there have been some posts out of right field as well.
The difference is that the Righties believe the silly $hit they post!
McCain in Hollywood... Cindy would be saying "Don't go... it's a trap!"
Eric - If post in the Sydney Herald that "yol'll be driving your MGB in the next Mt Panorama 1000" does that automatically make it true??
any election time, be it here or back in Aus rumours will abound. Some will be based in truths (although maybe distorted), others will be opurely fictional. The fun part is trying to work out which is which.
This one about McCain is one that I have no idea what catergory it fits in.

And Snopes shot down that post. I'm still waiting for someone to challenge Snopes, but I'm not holding my breath. Eric M sputtered and fizzled a bit.
Sarcasm: Evolutionary Survival Skill
Neurophysiologists at the University of California have recently discovered that sarcasm plays an important part in human social interaction. Subsequently, people who don’t get sarcasm may have some damage in their parahippocampal gyrus, located in the right brain, which means that they are unable to respond in socially appropriate ways.
Perhaps this explains why some Americans don’t get sarcasm? Any Americans who were offended by the previous statement may need to question their evolutionary survival skills.
Derek, on snopes I thought they would comment on legal issues even thought they don't use lawyers. I would not trust their work on legal matters or questions.
