Sounds anti-American to me. Republicans need a new play book. One that includes a vision. &amp;nbsp;McCain and his &amp;quot;gang&amp;quot; are making gaffe after gaffe after gaffe. &lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; McCain acts as if he is so surprised. He knows that he and his republican mafia are in agreement with what Black said. McCain feels exactly the same way in regards to what was expressed in Black's statement. Because if he didn't, Black wouldn't be in his circle. Politically or otherwise. I know this wasn't the first time that Mr. Black has made a controverial statement. To throw Black under the bus now would only be for political reasons. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As for McCain, this guy is as funny as he looks. Every issue which made him a Maverick, McCain has flipped- flopped. And he has the nerve to critize Obama for changing his mind and opting out of Public Campaing Finance, which his campaign is technichally being funded by the public. The American Public. McCain is losing his marbles, right before our eyes. (Poor fella). He senses defeat because Obama is going to make him defend states that republicans traditionaly win. Not to mention, John McCain's wife cheats to win baking contests. Is it that serious, Cindy? Can we trust anything that comes out of your mouth, being that you will cheat? You will probably lie as well. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;All in all, I've had it with McCain and the Republicans. This latest episode proves that the Republican Party is no longer the party of ideas. They have become the party of hate and resentment. Desperate enough to do anything to win. Anything like: using deception, division, fear, smear and the list goes on. They just don't get it. Get a vision. Until you do, I can not longer vote for you. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Obama '08 &amp;nbsp;and maybe '12. </description></item><item><title>McCain: Another Black controversy</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/24/1163501.aspx#1163585</link><pubDate>Tue, 24 Jun 2008 13:42:09 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1163585</guid><dc:creator>Eric, Salinas, CA</dc:creator><description>Another verbal gaffe by &amp;quot;Terrorist Lover&amp;quot; Black. &amp;nbsp;If another terrorist attack happens then it's proof positive that &amp;quot;War Lover&amp;quot; Bush has failed utterly in his phony war on terror. &amp;nbsp;Time to stop this pernicious lie that another terrorist attack would benefit &amp;quot;War Lover&amp;quot; McCain.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If we want to stop the terrorists then we need to elect Barack Obama. &amp;nbsp;He understands the war on terror better than that incompetent war monger who never learned the proper lessons from VietNam.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Go Obama 08/12!</description></item><item><title>McCain: Another Black controversy</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/24/1163501.aspx#1163590</link><pubDate>Tue, 24 Jun 2008 13:43:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1163590</guid><dc:creator>Pete - Albany, NY</dc:creator><description>Only Uncle Fluffy and the Republicants would find political gain in a terrorist attack.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;McCain '08 - Vote for me or The Boogeyman's gonna get you!!!</description></item><item><title>McCain: Another Black controversy</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/24/1163501.aspx#1163592</link><pubDate>Tue, 24 Jun 2008 13:43:41 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1163592</guid><dc:creator>NOSTRODAMAS</dc:creator><description>I see more talk of attacks on American soil by republicans the closer the election gets.
