At least some one is campaigning against McCain. It's about time.

Vote with your head, vote for the economy, vote for jobs.

Vote Democratic 2008 -- don't let the corporations and their Republican stooges win again.

I love how McSame and the RNC will try and dispell this characterization when the policy similarities are uncanny. The only difference between McCain and Bush is apparently a consciousness, maybe?

And the Democrats are the ones yelling, "Vote on the Issues" -- HA

Present your positions, and let the people vote. No candidate can trash talk another candidate without being EQUALLY open to criticism.

This sounds more like a propoganda poster than anything I've ever seen in the last 30 years (from a major establishment, at least).

The Democratic Party is the largest party in America by a pretty significant margin, and it still has to resort to this. I think these primaries and mailers like this pretty much reveal some true colors, but not McCain's.

It won't be long before they call themselves the "Workers' Party" and all historians know what always comes after that...

No doubting the fact this McCain is a very different man than the one in the 2000 primaries.

I can't wait until this campaign in over. Once it's done, we will be able to illuminate McCain, and the serious issues that he has. He has gotten a free pass thus far. Once the concerns about flip flopping on issues, his temper, his stance on Iraq and the economy come out, making a choice between him and either democratic candidate will be a piece of cake.

'...... He adds, “Like President Bush,” McCain follows a “shoot first, ask questions second” foreign policy strategy,......"

- Howard Dean

So did Hillary when she voted for war, without having the decency to read the intelligence. Now she is talking about using nuclear weapons, as though it is as benign as tossing a snowball in a playground. She is an illiterate when it comes to the Constitution. She is clueless as to how war is declared by the US. If need be Barack will hit her on this, at the absolute right moment. Maybe in NC.

What do we expect from Howard Dean? I hope that the message of blame, and retreat, and reinventing the laws, and partisan judges is well heard by the American people and we find that most will not abide it. For me and mine lets pray that we never hear the Clinton or Obama again. Bush's problem was not being conservative enough.

Finally! This is what we should be focusing on. If you really care about Penn, Wright, Bosnia, Bittergate and all the other garbage then I say you are small minded and should go watch a soap opera and leave politics to more intelligent people. While you all bicker like little children, the republican attack machine sharpens there blades and smiles at the uneducated fools who whine that there nominee is being treated unfairly and proclaim they will vote for McCain if there candidate does not get to the general. If you do vote for him then you vote for an endless war, tax cuts for the richest 5%, overturning Roe vs Wade, illegal wire tapping and all the other garbage thats been dumped on us for the past eight miserable years. Good for you! You're really making a statement!

Age does matter. The country remembers Reagan's last two years in office when his wife and Chief of Staff basically ran the Government while Reagan drifted into Alzheimer's-land.
The Presidency in 2008 requires a young man's stamina and mental sharpness.
McCain has already made many slight lapses of memory in public comments. Being able to function in the Senate is one thing. They never need to make grueling trips and then conduct nuanced negotiations, or make instantaneous decisions concerning war and peace.
McCain should undergo a battery of mental status examinations by leading geriatric specialists before we vote.
The unresolved question of lingering Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder induced by his POW status and his hair-trigger temper is also of concern.

It's Coming,

I completely agree. It scares me that both HRC and Obama are socialist-leaning. It scares me more that Obama, who is even more left-wing socialist, is the democratic front-runner. Americans might just get a big ol' dose of what they are wishing for. . . and more.

What a croc! Manufacturing BS to try to raise money. The fact is nobody is contributing to the DNC because they are throwing all their cash into the primary. By the way, that is fine with Republicans. RNC money is one of the aces we hold.
When asked to pay for re-votes in FL & MI, they choked. I hope you Obama-mites convince your man that public financing is not the way to go. If he does that, the mailing list goes to the DNC who will give your money to re-elect the soon-to-be broke Clinton back to the Senate.

So, if McCain is "as conservative as they come," what were the Democratic members of the Gang of 14 doing working with him? Once upon a time, I thought an Obama-McCain campaign might elevate the political discourse in this country. The DNC, however, will never let that happen. John McCain is one Republican who the majority of Democrats could probably live with in the White House. From the DNC mailer, you'd think he was Bob Jones. What a disservice the DNC does to their party and this country.

McCain's temper is going to come out this Fall when the media turns on him for not being the maverick he claims to be. His voting record is that of a Conservative, and on ALL of the major issues, he sides with Bush.

How is he going to explain that as being a Maverick to Independents?

"It's Coming" - two things.

One, this is not a campaign message, it's a fundraising message. OK, it's a subtle difference, and I know right-wing voters aren't good with subtlety.

Two, the mailer is about the issues. It's about how McCain is wrong on the issues - that's why it includes three concrete issues where he's wrong.

If the DNC thinks for one minute the voters from Michigan will vote for their nominee Obama , after he deliberately kept his name of the primary ballot , to use those votes against Hillary . They better think again. DNC has encouraged Obama to present himself as a uniter, when all along he is a divider. DNC will pay dearly disenfranchising the Michigan voter!

McCain stated that he is against EVERYTHING that is ANTI-ANYTHING! I think that about sums it up. (He said this with a straight face) And there are poeple out there that actually think this man is going to be an issue to beat in the fall. He says something stupid every day of every week. He can't help it.

That's why he has a bad temper, because people point out to him on a daily basis, that the statement he just made was stupid. When the spot light finally does turn on John McCain he will be angry every day of every week.
