McCain: A 'troubled stretch'?

America for Obama — Tue, 27 May 2008 13:22:53 GMT

This is interesting.. Since Bush popularity is low, McClain is dis associating himself with Bush!

They are in the same party; have the same agenda!!

Are the Republicians playing games with the American People?

I think McClain is struggling and not Obama! Obama is well positioned to be such a huge overdog.

Lisa, New Britain, CT 06053 Obama our NEXT President — Tue, 27 May 2008 13:27:01 GMT

I don't think Obama-mania novelty is wearing off, its just lying in wait for the General. And if Obama's Wesleyan speech sounds familiar its because it wasn't the time to hit hard on current political issues, it was a commencement speech calling on people to serve (in keeping with Ted Kennedy's original theme). That was always a good theme for Obama as well and it is consistent with the Kennedys' message and honored Ted as well.

McCain is just beginning his period of great scrutiny, I bet he will continue to make lots of gaffe's and look unPresidential even without Bush around his neck.

Like a thief in the night "Bush Hugger" McCain has to campaign with "Warmonger" Bush in secret. Didn't "Hypocrite" McCain say something about being a more transparent president? Just more pandering to get elected while he has no intention of being any more open than the current tyrant in the White House.

No matter how much the conservative lunatic fringe media tries to spiff up their pathetic candidate it's clear that "Hypocrite" McCain is lying to the nation about his intentions.

Go Obama 08/12!

I would love to see McCain ducking under crisp table cloths, and behind floral decorations in an attemtpt to avoid being seen with Bush at his latest Bushy fundraiser.

Repubs. Can you say fair weather friend?

Jennifer Rubin defending McCain's campaign, and attempting to further the repub Svengali like trance over us is a scream.

McCain has already peaked. As soon as everyone pivots to the general election he will begin to fade as it becomes obvious he has nothing but the same sad list of failed Republican ideas.

I agree with donna with the visual of McFossil ducking under crisp table cloths and behind floral arrangements! Made me laugh out loud. Only he wouldn't be very nimble in trying to do so...he's very stiff from the arthritis you know! If you want another laugh, go to a website www.thingsyoungerthanmccain where you will learn that things like the zip code, nylon, cheerios, velcro, and spam are ALL younger than Mccain! Age DOES matter!

"...his own ever-shifting statements" - " eerily reminiscent of a dozen stump speeches we have all heard before."
Ms, Rubin, it doesn't work like that. Either he flip-flops or he mantain his position. You can't have it both ways, it is against decency

A good defense of McCain, I don't think so.

And Obama and McCain should travel together in Iraq? I guess we'll have to get the bullet proof vests out and have the intense security that McCain needed during the famous 'stroll through the market place' last year.

Yeah, things are better in Iraq now, but that's because the Sunni have decided not to support Al Qaeda anymore (Al Qaeda were like the Dementors, in the Harry Potter series, more dangerous than help). McCain's troop surge didn't work. Patreous, basically made peace with the Sunni tribe leaders (with cash and promises for fair treatment by the Shia government, which we installed and which is in allignment with Iran). The truth is that we either with have to stay there forever to prevent re-outbreak of the civil war (which we instigated) or have some other (perhaps UN) peace keeping force serve as the buffer between two sides.

Face it folks, not only to we incite Al Qaeda recruitment with our presence in Iraq, not only do we waste our soldiers, Iraqi life, and money sorely needed for infra-structure in this country (I mean, if we're going to borrow money from China and devalue our currency, why not use it to rebuild our infrastructure and give people good jobs so that they can afford health insurance and fuel) but we continue to bog ourselves down in a conflict that prevents us from fighting the true enemy (Al Qaeda) in Pakistan and Afghanistan. And as Obama says, not only do we have to go after Al Qaeda, where they live, but at the same time, we must make major diplomatic efforts in the Middle East, by helping to get the Israelis and Palestinians back on the 'roadmap for peace', by helping (influence their leaders) to build schools and hospitals (they have plenty of money) in the impoverished areas of the Middle East, can we diffuse the hatred of America that contiues to act as the impetus for Al Qaeda recruitment.

I would expect that John McCain, the 'great military mastermind' should understand all of this. But then again, Republicans don't think. Then again, we're just looking at another incompetent Bush administration, if we elect McCain.
Just watch the fund-raising efforts tonight.

All the candidates this year stink. But both Obama and McCain are not very qualified on all of the important issues. So Hillary appears the most qualified of the three and would be the best choice as a last resort.

McCain rhymes with insane and more to the same. He represents the old guard and nothing fresh and new to a country that needs leadership that will get us out of Iraq and let us regain our economy which can no longer afford to finance wars, especially the specious terms and the deceit that we received from our own government that will continue to foment more of the same and the insane ideologies that will bring us more
chickens to roost on our doorstep. Sorry to say that out country has been hoodwinked into believing that we are going to continues as we were until all the so called terrorists are gone. Wishful thinking that is totally ludicrous and is McCain gets elected I would presume that we are in for it. Hasn't the last 8 years been enough to tell us that if we stay the course we are going to win. Win what? No, there has to be a positive change to bring us around to our senses and learn that there is another alternative for us a country and I would think by now that it is time for that to happen because what we have been told is that we have remain steadfast and strong and fight the good fight, but then at what cost and when are we going to ever learn that this strategy isn't working is it?
Remember what Eisenhower said about the industrial military complex or have have forgotten the lessons of history? We are not going to bomb people into oblivion and then expect them to be happy with their newfound freedom or democracy which has been imposed by force.
Conflict is on the lips of McCain and I would expect the same. Now it is time to see what will happen and we are not to be deceived again are we? as a former veteran of Vietnam I saw what was wrong then and I see that is now the case and when are we going to do things differently?

Jennifer Ruben sounds like a die hard Hillary fan.

People need to be inspired, and the best way to do that is why Obama's speeches repeatedly use the words that correlate with inspiration. The real Hillary supporters (lobbyists) are elite. This would explain her public finance problems. I'm willing to bet that John Adam's speeches sounded the same too, to those who weren't in stressful situations.

Holder of the dog leash = lobbyist.
Holder of the dog leash on Bush = Holder of the dog leash on McCain.

McCain aforesaid why we are in Iraq. Oil.

Obama is young, charming and good-looking. So is Brad Pitt. You have a crush on him, but that doesn't mean he can run the most powerful country in the free world. He's still green behind those big ears. That ishy nervous feeling in the pit of your stomach is you knowing he's an empty suit with shallow, naive platitudes he's trying to pass off as a platform for "Change". Everybody's just holding their breath, fearing the elephant in the room: He's got nothin'.
