McCain’s Democratic Project

June 26th, 2008 -- Posted in American Politics | 2 Comments »

Many of you may remember The McCain Memo where senior adviser Steve Schmidt admitted testing new lines of attack through independent pro-Clinton communities. I was using the wonderful tools available at domaintools.com when I discovered that the three things that link johnmccain.com, hillaryis44.org and dems4mccain.info is that their registrations are private and all registered with the company DomainsByProxy.com which I find curious except that they are also based in Senator McCain’s home state of Arizona. Some of you may be able to write that off as co-incidence but when you think about the fact that every domain registrar on the planet offers private registrations, why did all 3 of these domains go with that one specific company?

DomainsByProxy is affiliated with Godaddy.com, who is the No.1 shared hosting provider in North America and also the host of my domain and website. That affiliation does mean that they sell for GoDaddy but are not owned by GoDaddy. DomainsByProxy essentially allows the owner of a domain to keep his/her registration information private unless requested to be released by a subpoena or police authority.  My theory is that Senator McCain and his campaign have orchestrated a co-ordinated attack against Senator Obama using dems4mccain.info and hillaryis44.org. These sites are to incite the minor ‘crazy’ segment of the Hillary base while drawing in those who are already shifting to Senator Obama. These sites have no rhyme or reason and do not provide an alternative to Senator Obama but simply encourage people to support Senator McCain even though he has “flip-flopped” so many times on so many issues that I am not sure whether he is a liberal or conservative.

My point here is that Senator McCain should make available the public registrant information for his website unless he has something to hide? Senator Obama certainly has done so:
