McCain said the American people deserved a positive campaign for the presidency, and he'd rather lose the election than give the American people anything less.

Guess he wasn't being quite truthful there, huh?

But I see the media coming around and slowly, slowly starting to question their preconceived notions about McCain. Bottom line is he isn't the person we all thought he was.

If I was Barack Obama, I wouldn't go to that rally and tell those Harley people to check the air pressure in their tires LOL.

If McCain is so off message and so boring, why can't Obama close the deal? Could be because he is just as boring himself, offers no solutions to problems and the solutions he does offer make good material for RNC and late night comics?

"Is McCain running a ‘limping, message free’ presidential campaign?" - I love blind rhetoric early in the morning. If you don't have a platform, pivot to attacking your opponent. I believe that IS their message.

PS. I know for a fact there were a group of Teamsters at the rally that ARE NOT Repubs and were not thrilled with dorky dorkington crashing their party. Some of them are friends of mine!

Paul (Sent Monday, August 04, 2008 11:30 AM) Paul, why are you so convinced that the profit is legitimate? Speculating on Oil Futures is gambling. Price fixing is illegal. I would say many Dems are sick and tired of the profiteering of corporations by illegitimate means. Passing laws to make things ‘technically’ legal; when the intent is still to defraud, doesn’t make it legitimate in my book or the book of many.

McCain: We love these dueling headers

J.Wonderlie, Ware, MA — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 14:09:05 GMT

SOME TIME AGO HILARY SAID SHE HAD SOMETHING ON OBAMA THAT WOULD CHANGE THE ELECTION AND THAT'S WHY SHE ONLY SUSPENDED HER QUEST FOR THE PRESIDENCY, WELL HER IT IS.

This came from a USNA alumnus. It'll be interesting to see how the media handles this...

Barack Obama is not a legal U.S. natural-born citizen according to the law on the books at the time of his birth, which falls between December 24, 1952, to November 13, 1986. Federal Law requires that the office of President requires a natural-born citizen if the child was not born to two U.S. Citizen parents. This is what exempts John McCain, though he was born in the US Panama Canal Zone .

US Law very clearly states: ". . . If only one parent is a U.S. Citizen at the time of one's birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for minimum ten years, five of which must be after the age of 16." Barack Obama's father was not a U.S. Citizen is a fact.

Obama's mother was only 18 when Obama was born. This means even though she had been a U.S. Citizen for 10 years, (or citizen of Hawaii being a territory), his mother fails the test for at-least-5-years- prior-to Barack Obama's birth, but-after-age-16.

In essence, Mother alone is not old enough to qualify her son for automatic U.S. Citizenship. At most, 2 years elapsed from his mother turning 16 to the time of Barack Obama's birth when she was 18. His mother would have needed to have been 16 + 5 = 21 years old at the time of Barack Obama's birth for him to be a natural-born citizen. Barack Obama was already 3 years old at the time his mother would have needed to be to allow him natural citizenship from his only U.S. Citizen parent. Obama should have been naturalized as a citizen . . . but that would disqualify him from holding the office.

The Constitution clearly declares: Naturalized citizens are ineligible to hold the office of President. Though Barack Obama was sent back to Hawaii at age 10, any other information does not matter because his mother is the one who must fulfill the requirement to be a U.S. Citzen for 10 years prior to his birth on August 4, 1961, with 5 of those years being after age 16.

Further, Obama may have had to have remained in the USA for some time frame to protect any citizenship he might have had, rather than living in Indonesia . This is very clear cut and a glaring violation of U.S. Election law. I think the Governor Schwarzenegger of California should be very interested in discovering if Obama is allowed to be elected President without being a natural-born U.S. Citizen, since this would set a precedent. Stay tuned to your TV set s because I suspect some of this information will be leaking through over the next several days.

Now, he's just a joke. What is wrong with John McCain? Where have his numbers in Florida gone? Wasn't he up by 27 points due in part because the Democrats didn't even campaign there? Todays polls have him up by 1.6 points on average and actually DOWN by 2 at Rasmussen. What is wrong with John McCain? Why can't he seal the deal in a state with his built-in demographics?

It’s so easy to determine the difference between those supporting Obama and those supporting McCain.

Obama supporters are intelligent and analytical, but most of all, show a deep respect for others. Obama supporters also demonstrate American morals that helped shape this country into a great nation. Obama supporters have a higher level of integrity, and a deeper religious belief in God and live by the words of God.

McCain supporters generally present their opinions in a harsh, and threatening manner. McCain supporters are hostile, quarrelsome and bitterly opposed to anyone that does not share their life style and convictions. McCain supporters are morally and religiously void of integrity. Intellectually, McCain supporter’s relish opportunities to associate with sleazy and untrustworthy individuals that can continue to feed their hatred, bigoted and small-minded thinking and actions. McCain supporters prefer lies to truth, and are actually afraid of searching for truth only because it may dispense with the hatred that controls their lives.

McCain supporters would prefer for our nation to continue down a path that could destroy it and it’s people.

Obama is a US citizen because he was born in the STATE (not territory) of Hawaii 47 years ago (Happy Birthday Obama). Any person born in a US State is a citizen. Period.

All of the other nonsense in the email/post about "child of a single non-naturalized citizen in a territory at the age of blah blah blah" is pure and total buffalo chip. Check out Obama's website www.fightthesmears.com to see his birth certificate. Better yet, crack a freakin book once in a while and educate yourself about the Constitution before parroting lies.

There is a real constitutional issue as to whether or not MCCAIN qualifies as a citizen. Check out Snopes:
http://www.snopes.com/politics/mccain/citizen.asp

I think it shows the inherent racism and bias of the anti-Obama groups that people believe the lies about Obama so easily, essentially because he doesn't look like all those other presidents, while at the same time they dismiss the REAL CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION of McCain's citizenship.

I think it also shows that Obama is running a class campaign where works hard for every vote and focuses on REAL ISSUES that deeply affect America rather than waste time with smear campaigns. When he hands out tire gauges, says he wants his wife to be "Ms. Buffalo Chip", and put up ads with Britney, McCain is acting like he's running for the title of Class Clown, not President of the United States.

Senator Obama was born in Hawaii after it became a state and is therefore a US citizen, and would therefore have been a citizen even if BOTH of his parents were foreign nationals.

McCain has been absent for votes because he is campaigning. At least he has a voting history, Obama started in 2005, and doesn't even complete one term before he starts being absent. His voting record in Illinois isn't all that spectacular either. As one of his constituents, that voted for him, I am rather disapointed, especially since he basically told his constituents he had no interest in running for President when we voted for him in the Senate.

John McCain keeps challenging Obama's competence to lead using demeaning comparisons. So I think it is legitimate to challenge his.
Experience alone is only useful if the future is like the past. To meet new threats and opportunities one needs creativity, analytical skills, judgment and foresight and restraint.
John McCain was graduated from Annapols 4th from the bottom of a class of 898 cadets. This should give a voter pause. George Armstrong Custer is another famous American military officer who graduated at the bottom of his class at West Point. During the Civil War he became famous for the conspicuous gallantry he displayed leading cavalry charges. However neither bravery nor experience saved his men as be blundered on to Little Big Horn.
Custer lost a few hundred men at Little Big Horn. Custer in the White House today could end civilization as we know it.

I suggest that J. Wonderlie and anyone else claiming Obama is not a US citizen brush up on the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution, which states:

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States"

Therefore Obama could have been born in Hawaii to two non-citizens and still himself be a citizen.

This is an easy one. Remember the Angela Lansbury charaster in the original "Manchurian Candidate"?

He's acting like a child trying to get attention no matter what kind it is. First his cynical, snide and untrue accusations against Obama, now his sexist treatment of his wife. I mean doesn't he realize if he becomes president (God forbid) that she is to be first-lady? I mean a far cry from Lady Byrd and Jacqueline Kennedy. How trashy, how insignificant, how not giving a hoot about where America is headed, but rather hinging his campaign's success on all that's wrong with it. And what's with pairing up with Kid Rock? Again, where's his campaign connection to our economic issues? We don't need a shoot from the hip reactionary kind of guy running our country.
