Mccain and the republicans have nothing but
lies, distortions and attacks.
They certainly cannot run on accomplishments
as their policies have almost destroyed our
country.
One diaster after another.
The American voters are too intelligent to
believe or support anything any republican
tells us.
ENOUGH!!

Another great ad by the Obama/Biden campaign. "Bush Hugger" McCain has to throw the toilet at Obama because he can't talk about the issues, especially Economics.

There's this awful stench in California today, coming from down south. Oh it's "Sinner" Sarah violating our air quality standards from rotten orange county.

MSNBC -
get that headline: How captivity shaped John McCain
off the front page.
Stop running on what was. Lots of people were POWs that do not need to be the president. He is a crook and his POW record is not as heroric as he would have you believe. Do your research.

As far as the AYRES stuff, Obama was 8 (E-I-G-H-T) YEARS OLD WHEN HE WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE COMMITTED A CRIME.

He is now a well respected educator and good citizen.

Does mccain or palin REALLY want to start opening up doors of who you said hi to (or had affairs with, or troopergate, or kid having a baby and saying its your, or KEATING and your birthday parties... Do they REALLY ant to go there.

Bringing up a person that may or may not have done something when he was 8 years old is another ridiculous ploy that has been tried and will once again FAIL.

Good move. Get out in front of the McCain attack machine with the truth. We knew this was coming once the polls started moving in Obama's direction. It's the only thing they know because it worked so well for them before. It's time for us to show that the politics of fear and smear won't work any longer. McCain/Palin are the past. Obama/Biden are the future and they WILL WIN!

That's exactly the right thing to do. The Ayers thing is demonstrably false (it has been independently fact-checked as such) and Obama needs to keep hammering the campaign back to the central issues that matter to America. John McCain has sold the last remaining shred of his dignity and honor in a futile effort to win a presidency that he daily proves he doesn't deserve.

People are often cynical about political campaigns - well, I would submit that this is one campaign that has done a real good job revealing the character of these two men.

If this "erratic in a crisis" comment has traction,, Obama owes alot to Reid and Pelosi for putting McCain in a bad position.

McCain could have responded to Reid and Pelosi calling for his help by getting involved or stay on the sidelines. McCain made the right choice but, he opened himself up to this line of criticism.

Well played move by the Democratic leadership.

Hard to believe we are in position where a candidate who says "call me if you need me" is viewed more favorably for handling this crisis.

Obama has proven himself. His story has been an open bokk for nineteen months. Palin has only been known five months and what she brings to the table is how inept she is ,under investigation, refusing to answer supoenas, pregnant teenage daughter,lying about the "bridge to nowhere" having an affair, and all her other baggage, like her witch craft, praying preacher and she has the audactiy to throw stones?
It's obvious McCain is deperate, grumpy and a true racist. What about his associations, his infidelity and many other thngs he lacks. As it is said, water seeks its level and he found that when he found Palin. Neither have credibility, he does have a litlle class as oppose to Palin who is obviously trailer trash.
Neither one are smart people. If Palin was smart, she would be glad to answer questions from the media instead of critizing them. Katy Couric is a genius compared to these two morons.When you don't have answers, you attack to distract!
I can't believe americans are falling for this type of leadership again. If they do, then they deserve what they get, ZERO! It is time now to elect a HERO

The John McCain that once was honorable and a "maverick" has become one of the most desperate and sleazy of all politicians in this election and other elections. He wants to win so bad that he has left his honor behind.

Palin should be careful who she slings false accusations about relationships - wasn't she "anointed" by an extremely controversial minister from Kenya who chases women out of town who he declares are witches?

So, I guess we can say that the McCain/Palin campaign is putting witch hunting, slanderous remarks and falsehoods ahead of dealing with the drastic problems this country faces.

MCcain/Palin puts themselves first and the country somewhere down a long list of them first.

But yesterday I came into the middle of a interview on fox and while the Obama supporter tried to talk about healthcare and taxes he was cut off and badegared about ayers,finally the Obama supported said the if Mccain wants to play like that we can talk about Keating, about some reported that was blowned up in his car and several other things, and the fox reporter just went silence. So I would like to know more about mccain back ground all we hear is his war record and how his has voted why do you knoe do some investigate reporting

This country is going to hell in a handbasket! With absolute disrespect to Gov. Palin, you are a complete moron! I am smarter than you and that is not a compliment. Sen. McCain sold his soul to the devil and soon enough the devil will call in his marker.

All the Ayers, Rezko, Wright garbage has been played out. Know one is going to change their minds based on this stuff. It reeks of desperation.

I have been to an Obama rally and left feeling better about myself, about my country, and about my two year old son's future. I wonder what the people leaving the Home Depot Center felt yesterday? Maybe like the Nazi's felt after Hitler spoke at a rally.

That is the fundamental differance between Dems and Repubs, a hopeful feeling. Obama/Biden is about 'us' and what we can do to fix this mess. McCain/Palin is about 'I'. I need to be scared, I need more guns, more money, more gas, bigger house, everything is about 'me'.

If Sen. Obama can't win in this climate against these candidates it will never happen, and it will be very depressing, and all hope will literally be lost.

Negative ads work by suppressing the vote. Obama's ground game and the intense interest of his supporters make this a non starter in this election. The current polling is still underestimating the Obama vote because of the methodology that skews toward "likely" voters. So many new voters, the young and minortities, are not accounted for by this methodology that will bring a larger Democratic victory than the polls expect.

Our families are the ones who are suffering; and there isn't anyone who can say that it does not exist. McCain/Palin can fool some of the people some of the time; but they can't fool all of the people all of the time. We are talk-ing about real people and real issues, and it is time that McCain/Palin realize and understand what is going on in the United States now not yesterday or 25 years ago. And truth be, McCain/Palin are not giving the American people anything to look forward to than other than what George Bush have given us; God forbid we will not be able to stand another 4 years of the Republican party.

Obama's criticisms of McCain are relevant to choosing a president.

Hey, McCain, how many times have you crossed paths with, directly endorsed, and campaigned for Bush. You helped to vote our economic problems into being. Your associations with neocon ideas and with Bush are the real condemnation.

McCain would have us believe that because Obama is black and doesn’t look like white voters that he could not possibly represent their interests as president.

It's interesting to note the similarities between the reluctance of George Bush to allow his former cronies to testify and Sarah Palin's initial launch of the investigation into 'Troopergate' and subsequent refusal of her cronies to respond to subpoena in Alaska. The launch of the negativity against Obama for supposed 'terrorist' ties shows the desperation of the McCain campaign and the willingness of them to use Sarah Palin as a pawn in the campaign to try and shift the focus away from their inadequacies to a blown out of proportion relationship of Obama to some figure in the past. Does America really want another 4 years of 'leadership' that believes it is above the law? I think not. Refusal to honor a subpoena? Sounds like an immediate repeat of history to me.
