RNC Plans Ad Assault

I hope the ads show that McCain is all about oil companies, gas tax holiday gimmicks, and off shore drilling that will do NOTHING to lower gas prices but screw up our environment.

Obama flip flopped… or at least he didn’t keep his word. The RNC is doing what it needs to do. McCain’08 Clinton’12

McCain should never accuse Sen. Obama of ‘flip-flopping’ when he has flopped on the following issues: MLK Holiday, Confederate flag controversy, S. African Divestment, GI Bill, Grassroots Lobbying Bill, Immigration, Gay Marriage, Abortion, Storage of Nuclear Waste, Military action against rogue states, negotiating with enemy dictators and terrorist, warrantless wiretapping, torture, Iraq War, Bush tax cuts, Estate tax, win-fall profit tax, privatizing social security, Balance Budget, Bush fundraisers, Offshore drilling and Swift boat ads/attacks. McCain clearly has been one of the most inconsistent presidential candidates throughout his political career and his track record proves that he cannot be trusted as he so aptly claimed about Sen. Obama.

Good – Someone must Vet this radical fraud obama – before it is too late.
OBama CHANGES his message daily for political gain. Let the GOP – Attack – let the people know all about this fraud!

The real assault has been going on for 7.5 years, the assault on our basic freedoms, the environment, the middle class, etc. Who cares about the next round of Swift Boat lies? I have already heard enough, and no amount of negative advertising from the garbage mongers on the right will ever win my vote.

John SIDNEY McCain III needs all the help he can get. Since he is such a weak candidate about all the RNC can do is try to tarnish the image of his opponent. McCain will give lip service to running an honorable campaign even while the RNC runs “independent” negative ads. Are we sure McCain wasn’t on a swift boat in Vietnam? He sure seems ready to adopt their strategies in order to get elected.

The RNC gonna say Obama has an illegitimate black “love child”…like they did with McCain in 2000?

Where in this article is the word ‘assault’ used? This yet another example of irresponsible journalism.

Hillary supporters,
This coming ad blitz would have been against Hillary and Bill had she won the Democratic nomination. When the GOP starts attacking Michelle, I hope you realize they would have treated Hillary the same way. The Republicans know how to attack. They have had plenty of practice with Hillary.

4 More Wars! 4 More Wars! Spend some time attacking that.

Obama is a weak, confused, unpatriotic, radical left-wing candidate. Way to go Dems, giving us yet another unelectable candidate. Another noble loser, like Dukakis, Gore, and Kerry.

Well it’s about friggin’ time! I was wondering if the RNC and Repubs were ever going to finally start fighting back. We are going to need everything we can to fight these hateful Marxist Stalino-facist bastards from stifling dissent, silencing those who disagree, and robbing us of all of our freedom. These MoveOn.org groupies do this all in the name of their self-proclaimed and condescending belief that only a holy, pious government that implements their twisted version of morality is the end all, do all solution to all of our problems and the alpha and the omega that must be obeyed.

You should stay home feeding BhO’s dogs.
HRC did what she has to do, unless you want her to become Liberman.
It has nothing to do with money, although BhO frames it that way.

prisoners released in columbia—–how convenient— how much did mr nafta sell us out for now—-columbia sure wants our jobs and money—–i sure would have liked to be a fly on the wall to hear this deal—–i guess we will hear about torture and a whole lot of repub pr.how long was this in the plans to glorify mcbush.

When Barack Obama announced he would not be accepting public funds, he sited that attacks would be launched from entities not paid by John McCain’s campaign.
Alas, he was right. Amazing how hollow the attacks on his choice not to have his campaign finances limited seem now.
Unfortunately for us, McCain and the RNC will almost certainly bombard us with manufactured claims, lies, and distortions practically continuously for the next 4 months. Just like they did to John Kerry in 2004.
So much for the straight talk express. The onslaught of slurs will just show that McCain is cut from the same cloth as George Bush. Such a shame too, as McCain actually is more honorable than that.

Skinnydog….you mean to tell me that Hillary NOW thinks Obama is qualified..why did she go so far into debt and why would she run at all if she thought he was qualified? Was her word not to be trusted? She did not have to go independant…she could have just told the dnc that she would not back him and call it a day! She gambled and she lost…now she wants to recoup her money by selling her crediblity to Obama…I would not call that in the best interest of her supporters! Money talks and bs walks!

scott
when all the truth comes out about mccain the public will be shocked—this guy was and is a failure at all he has been involved in—dumbest in all his classes—and now people want him to run our country–remember it takes someone with a sharp mind and a goon education–top of the class not the bottom

“Barack Obama has asked for this to be a non-mud-slinging election season.”
It’s nice when you can have your minions(Clark) sling the mud, so you can keep your hands nice and clean. Change my a$$.

Mack – Exactly what “mud” was Clark supposed to have slung? A reporter asked him if Obama was at a disadvantage because he hadn’t had a plane shot down and he said No.

Clarks comment was a cheap shot…meant as an emotional attack on McCain’s military service…a poor attempt to neutralize the only candidates with military service military record. Obama’s camp orchestrated it in hopes a dumb insult by another military guy (not even a good military guy) would somehow work. It failed and the attack was seen for what it was a childish name calling gimmick. Obama’s comments about Clark and his flip flopping over this subject won’t cover this up. If Obama had been 1/2 a man, he would have said yeah I have no military experience, but I am willing to learn and work with service men and women…but nope again he shows his true colors—yellow.

FLIP-FLOP seems to be the buzzword lately
but YOU ALL should know, they BOTH have flip-flopped in the past couple of months…….
the issues they have flip-flopped on is important…
For McCain and Obama have opted out of public financing……both not keeping their word to accept it….
for Obama he opted out because he can make more money from the people…..McCain opted out in response, but also because he took out a loan against his general election funds that he is not paying back…..stealing?
Energy, McCain is on both sides of the issue so he hasnt flip-flopped….he wants clean renewable energy and offered a 300Million prize for a better car battery…..but he also wants to lift sanctions to give big oil more places, than they already have and dont need, to drill…..doesnt make sense…
Obama wants to invest 10billion over the next 10 years for R&D in the Green sector and get our Veterans green training and counseling for when they return……mccain diddnt even want to give the veterans any educational benefits under the new GI Bill,which he opposed, american hero my A$$
Mcbush is very fitting…..

In contrast to Chas’ statement…three years ago, John Sidney McCain was eating cake and laughing with GWB while citizens of New Orleans were drowning and waiting for rescue. Don’t believe me?
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/04/24/flashback-as-katrina-raged-mccain-celebrated-69th-birthday-with-bush/
I agree that voting against a third Bush term is not the ONLY reason to vote for Obama, but it is a pretty good reason.

Bring it on, RNC.
Obama looks set to take Ohio anyway.

Stop picking on McCain. If you were running on Bush’s record you wouldn’t exactly want to visit too many places in the US either.

OBAMA’S ARTISTRY OF THE AMBIGUOUS – It is not his lack of experience that will work against him.
Obama would be well served by his hired help if it could move him to specifics on numerous critical fronts.
Voters are looking for definitive action while they battle overwhelming increases in costs on all fronts.

McCain Test: Staying alive and sane in a rat cage for five years.
Obama test: To wear or not to wear a flag lapel pin.

How dare anyone put up ads except Obama?
He is the only voice for change! I can’t wait until everything, and I mean everything, changes. This country is in the worst position ever, even worse than in the Depression or the Civil War, or World War II.
We are on the wrong path! Once Obama gets in there, he is going to tear it up. Change it up…with a changerific attitude. Jobs for everyone, and the homeless people will have jobs, and everything. And the rich people will pay more taxes like they are supposed to.
Oh, and no more wars, ever! And we will have respect in the world, finally. Automatically.
…finally those rich republican fatcatasses, repuli-neocon whores with devil horns in league with Geohn McSame the warmonger Hitler jr will get put up against the wall…oops, said too much.

ANd another thing, those who supported Hillary Clinton, stop being so like you lost. We had two great candidates. Now i would have been really upset if Clinton would have won, but GET OVER IT…Its time to cream MCCAIN. PUT HER ON The ticket and take back Washington

history has proven the gop lie to get people to vote for them!! you’d have to be a moron to just assume what they say is true, but they have mccain and have nothing to lose cause they arent going to win just on his ability alone. when even the republicans didnt want to see him as president and he cant get his own right wing base to follow him that has to say something when he is following all the bush issues and has changed all his “liberal” thinking.
he’s a loose canon just waiting to explode thats what we need right now more wars over pride and anger?

Peoples Prez: McCain can’t be trusted. What have you been reading. McCain has never attended a racist white hating anti-american church for 20 years like Obama did. That’s makes Obama not a true American and its people like you that would vote for a candidate like Obama. McCain is a true American. Obama is faking everything he says and does and the American people eat up his speeches that he copied from RFK including the words hope and change believing he is so great. I agree with Rush, Obama cannot do anything for himself. If elected president this country is in for a disaster and I agree with Joe we could be attacked because they already know Obama doesn’t know the ropes about foreign policy or politics. They must be dancing in the streets hoping he gets elected so they can plan their attack.

Wade: You certainly did say too much and you didn’t make sense. The know nothing, do nothing wanna be president Obama is not going to do what he says. Get a grip. There still will be thousands of homeless people on the street, he won’t know how to balance the budget and clean up the deficit, he doesn’t know on thing about foreign policy and will no be ready on day one. For a Harvard graduate he certainly has many people fooled when he speaks on the platform with copies of RFK speeches that he has a book on. Was a racist white hating anti-american for 20 years attending a racist church listening to a racist pastor. That’s what you call true American? And he’s running for president of our country?

Mariann Pepitone
You seem to be another one with this deep need to hate Obama no matter what. You obviously do not consider the possibility that some of your judgements might be mistaken, so either you are just talking trash on purpose, or your hatred is overwhelming you. Not pretty either way.

Nonsense Jock…for instance take Mariann last post located about 3 above your last post. Notice the poor attempt at justifying Obama extremely poor choice of church and personal mentor of Reverend Racist Wright with all his loud mouth ugly sermons and his support of terrorists such as Hamas and idiolizing Farrakan? We all know that Wright’s comments would have been impossible to not hear and no sane parent would expose their kids to this church or this man. However, Notice the defense mechanism kick in by this Mari Obama supporter—–basically trying to justify Obamas bad pasteur by completely making up nonsense about McCains?

chattyway-
I don’t condone attacks against McCain any more than against Obama. I’m getting sick and tired of all this juvenile hate-fest. You accuse people who you don’t even know of being hateful and racist, but you don’t even notice all the frothing at the mouth you are doing to get it out.

Mariann Pepitone
I don’t want a racist white hating anti-american as my president either. Good thing there isn’t one running.
And what do you have against Obama’s family in Kenya?

i really dont understand my fellow democrats,is party and winning more important than perserving this country?in obama you have a person that has associated with known communists ,participated in very shady deals and associations with the likes of tony rezko and who has lied consistantly.on the other hand you have mcain who on the forrestal as a young man during a terrible fire on deck risked his life to save another shipmate.this is a matter of characture and obama does not have any while mcain by his actions that day and also when he refused early release showed it in spades.

mfmros: I totally agree with you. The DNC especially Dean and Nancy went behind the scenes to make sure the superdelegates voted for Obama. Nancy is jealous of Hillary and didn’t want Hillary to have that power. Nancy wants to be the worman in power. I would not have endorsed him or campaigned for him if I was Hillary. Obama also talked to the superdelegates no doubt making deals with them. He is a fake and a liar and I can’t believe how thousands of American people can eat up his garbage he is selling to them. Obama is going to be a dictator if elected and this country will be in a disaster. I know the terrorists are dancing in the streets. They are waiting for him to become president so they can plan their attack.

Same old trashy republican tactics. As usual the republicans have no solutions or plans and attack ads are their only hope.

Jock: Evidently you don’t read too well. Obama did not like his mother’s race and he did become a racist at a younger age. You need to get a grip. I already read it. And it wasn’t just a newspaper article it was a whole bio of his family and himself. You are not going to make me believe that attending a racist white hating anti-american doesn’t make you in the same category. Why would you attend it for 20 years then. He would still be going there if Wright didn’t make that sermon. Why do you think the media kept playing that video? And telling the truth is not racist its real. Its people like you that don’t know which way the wind is blowing.

Jock: You say whatever comes into your head. Obama is lucky if he knows all his family over there. His father was married and divorced four times and his mother three times. There are eight or more children involved. And he only knows his half sister in Hawaii. And yes, you didn’t read the part where he said he was starting to hate his mother’s race. And Dreams Of My Father? His father abandoned him how could his father have dreams for him. His mother was educating him as a young boy not his father.

Jock: You talk of decency? Don’t make me laugh. It was stated on the internet over a week ago that 52% of college students are on drugs. And what about the babies born out of wedlock everyday. That’s decency? This generation is fast moving. When the Cubs are in town you can’t even see the bar due to the fact of all the boozers and I have seen many of them almost drunk getting on the “L”. Decency is when you live decent.

Nice to know that us Americans really know how to stick to the issues.

Obama’s character is his biggest issue.

Mariann – Thanks for explaining yourself, everyone has a right to opinions and yours are just as valid as the next guys. It sounds like you have a good heart and just want what’s best for our country. I think that is what the vast majority wants too – we just all have different ideas. Happy 4th ! -Bob

The problem with Obama supporters is they don’t care if Obama was part of an openly racist church. They do not even care if Obama has anti-Americana ssociates. Obama supporters behave more like a cult, they even attack their own Democratic Party, this is why Obama only has sixty percent of his own party.

Many Democrats do not believe Obama will actually get the nomination,many delegates may turn on him by August. If he some how does get the nomination, Hillary Democrats will make certain victory goes to McCain. Then PUMA will go on a mission to shake up the DNC, and toss all those responsible for this out, or will be breaking away from the DNC for good and staring a new Party.

First of all people need to learn what “racist” is. Just because something doe not put a white person on top does not mean its racist against whites. Racism is the belief that one racist of people are superior to another. Nothing the Obamas or the Trinty church has said has ever suggested they are better or superior to whites because some of them are white. In fact over 90% of the denomination are white. The real racist people are those of you out there who say you are a democrat but don’t want to vote for your candidate because he is a racist. You are pushing your own racist beliefs off on him. You seem to be angry that there is not a white person at top. That to you is antiwhite which is racist in that is suggests that whites are superior and should always be at the top. Truthfully, that is the sad part because it shows that in the 21c there are that many racist people in this country. To now suggest Obama shouldn’t run because a a black person he can’t win. That’s just racist and ridiculous because it would suggest no black person can ever run and white people would always be on top, the definition of racism. So for all of the rogersm234 and Mariann Pepitone look to your self before you accuse others of racism. If you don’t like the fact that someone other than a white person can be head of state leave American, got to England there you are guaranteed a white head of state or maybe some place in Scandinavia. Here in America we have a multicultural society and you don’t have such guarantees.

And its also interesting to note that that people question Obama’s integrity and military service and patriotism and ignore the alternative, how honest and patriotic is he putting his comrades in danger to get benefits for himself? Not to mention he lost 5 planes costing the military about $31,337,119.58 in 2007 money:
After being periodically slapped around for “three or four days” by his captors who wanted military information from him, McCain called for an officer on his fourth day of captivity. He told the officer, “O.K., I’ll give you military information if you will take me to the hospital.” -U.S. News and World Report, May 14, 1973 article written by former POW John McCain “When the communist learned that McCain’s father was Admiral John S. McCain, Jr., the soon-to-be commander of all U.S. Forces in the Pacific, he was rushed to Gai Lam military hospital (U.S. government documents), a medical facility normally unavailable for U.S. POWs. ” “Demands for military information were accompanied by threats to terminate my medical treatment if I [McCain] did not cooperate. Eventually, I gave them my ship’s name and squadron number, and confirmed that my target had been the power plant.” Page 193-194, Faith of My Fathers by John McCain And as for being tortured, last week on the BBC his jailer endorsed him saying that he and John were friends and John was never tortured. In fact, John taught him English slang and drank tea and played chess with him. I understand not trusting him but also
“Phoenix New Times, March 25, 1999—Two former POWs, Air Force Colonels Ted Guy and Gordon “Swede” Larson, said in a feature article that while they could not guarantee that McCain was not physically harmed, they doubted it. Both Guy and Larson were senior ranking officers (SRO’s) in McCain’s POW camp at a time he claims he was in solitary confinement and being tortured.
Larson told the New Times, “Between the two of us, it’s our belief, and to the best of our knowledge, that no prisoner was beaten or harmed physically in that camp [known as ‘The Plantation’].
“My only contention with the McCain deal is that while he was at The Plantation, to the best of my knowledge and Ted’s knowledge, he was not physically abused in any way. No one was in that camp. It was the camp that people were released from.””

Obama voted FOR the Bush/Cheney energy policy that was concocted behind closed doors with the oil companies and resulted in huge tax breaks and benefits for those same oil companies. McCain and Hillary voted AGAINST it. That’s all you need to know to figure out who is really in the pockets of the big energy companies, and I’ll give you a clue, it’s not McCain. Wake up, Obama fans, do the research and find out how much of his money is really from those “grassroots” folks he keeps bragging about. He is heavily supported by Wall Street (privatization of social security?), the financial community, the energy companies, much more than McCain. Go to noquarterusa.net to read the facts, and then realize that you are being played for patsys by the biggest fraud to come down the pike in the history of this country.

The latest PEW poll shows nearly half of those surveyed — or 47 percent — now rate energy exploration, drilling and building new power plants as the top priority, compared with 35 percent who believed that five months ago. The number of people who consider energy conservation as more important declined by 10 percentage points since February from a clear majority to 45 percent. The number of people who said they considered increasing energy supplies more important than protecting the environment increased from 54 percent in February to 60 percent and the number of people who favor oil drilling in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge also increased. The number of Democrats who said they saw increased production as the top priority jumped by 16 percentage points since February to 46 percent.
Obama and the Dems and their no drilling attitude could be in danger. The American people want increased drilling. This will immediately take the pressure off prices as even the thought of increased supplies in the future will quiet the buying fever.
I hope the Republicans show that Obama is not qualified to be President. No leadership in the State Senate or COngress, no experience as an executive or in negotiating passage of bills, and no experience in foreign policy. He is the least experienced candidate in over 50 years.

I’m glad to see the RNC come at Obama on energy. Obama has no idea about energy and how to precipitate a plan to help America right now. All he wants to do is increase the captital gains tax which will inevitably destroy our economy even worse. Added to this, the idea of insuring the illegal aliens under the same plan that the officials receive in Washington….and oh yes, he wants to give illegals drivers license…where does this guy get off. I am glad that today the evangelicals are going to back McCain. I’m Southern Baptist, and the SBC is 5 million strong, a HUGE support and endorsment for McCain! Along with the SBC, the Catholics and other protestants are supporting McCain….Obama just cannot talk out of both sides of his mouth and expects to win. The GOP is on a role, McCain will prevail. So long NoBama,you did make the election interesting!

I am not a Bush fan by any means, however, it appears that Obama is becoming more aligned with Bush and his message by moving to the center. It’s almost like Obama is an “heir” to Bush! Boy, has Obama pulled the wool over his supporters…..with the GOP about to attack, I want front row seats…its going to be fun to watch Obama go down!

Consider Obama’s proposals:
• In effect, he would legislate a 60 percent tax bracket for upper-income Americans, killing all initiative and innovation. He’d raise the top bracket to 40 percent. He’d apply FICA taxes to all income, not just that under $100,000 as at present. So add 40 percent plus FICA’s 12.5 percent plus Medicare’s 2 percent plus state and local taxes averaging, after deduction, at 5-6 percent, and you have a 60 percent bracket.
• He would double the capital gains tax, saddling the 50 percent of Americans who own stock with dramatically higher taxes.
• He’d double the dividend tax, hitting elderly coupon-clippers now retired and depending on fixed incomes.
• He wants to cover 12 million illegal immigrants with federally subsidized health insurance, dramatically driving up costs and forcing federal rationing of healthcare. As in the U.K. and Canada, you will not be permitted certain medical procedures if the bureaucrats decide you are not worth it.
• He proposes requiring Homeland Security operatives to notify terror suspects that they are under investigation within seven days of starting the investigation
• He says that unless they can establish that there is “probable cause to believe that a certain individual is linked to a specific terrorist group,” Homeland Security cannot seize his documents and search his business. The current standard is only that the search be “relevant” to a terror investigation.
• In effect, he would legislate a 60 percent tax bracket for upper-income Americans, killing all initiative and innovation. He’d raise the top bracket to 40 percent. He’d apply FICA taxes to all income, not just that under $100,000 as at present. So add 40 percent plus FICA’s 12.5 percent plus Medicare’s 2 percent plus state and local taxes averaging, after deduction, at 5-6 percent, and you have a 60 percent bracket.
He does not oppose $5-per-gallon gasoline but only says that he wishes there had been a more “gradual adjustment” to the higher prices.
Obama can talk about the Rev. Wright and flag lapel pins and his wife’s love of America all day long. But what he resists is a specific discussion of his own plans for our country. That’s the discussion he fears and he avoids. And it’s the discussion John McCain must force upon him if he is to have any realistic chance of winning the election.

Obama was a member of an openly racist church for twenty years,…..Obama has two books out full of racist sounding quotes. I guarantee you I never would have been part of a racist Church. If Obama did not think his church and Wright were racist, why did he find it necessary denouce Wright and quit Trinity Church? ( by the way I do not believe Obama when he says denounced Wright, I also do not believe for one moment that he did not know what Wright was all about)

like this is news we wouldnt expect anything less from the republicans after all thats their thing thats how the campaign let me give you some examples
1- lies smears rumors spin facts
2- install fear fear us with terriost and silly security codes

McCain’s claim that tax cuts “increase revenues” and that increasing taxes has the “opposite effect” is contested by his own senior domestic policy adviser, Douglas Holtz-Eakin. As director of the Congressional Budget Office, Holtz-Eakin estimated in 2005 that a 10 percent individual income tax cut would result in a revenue loss of $1.24 trillion over 10 years.
Under the most optimistic assumptions, increased economic growth generated by the cut would offset this loss by $345 billion, resulting in a net revenue loss of nearly $900 billion. Holtz-Eakin said by e-mail that McCain believes that “cutting middle-class taxes will generate additional growth” but “has never supported the idea that tax cuts pay for themselves.” This, however, is precisely the impression created by McCain’s National Review interview.

JimmyTmac- I think you don’t have the facts. Since 2006,q4 world demand has outstripped supply by 1 million barrels per day. Big oil makes an average of 8.5% as an industry. They are not making outrageous profits as a percentage of sales. They sell a lot of oil at a high price and that results in record dollar profits. They could make more if they had more to sell. Even though drilling will not make an immediate affect on supply, their is psychological advantage to cool the markets. Windfall profits taxes will only decrease supply as it did in the 70s. Democrats are not interested in the costs to ordinary citizens. Obama and the Dems are going down the wrong path, but they would give GW a perceived victory on this.

The Republicans won’t have to lie about Obama – the dirty tricks, the lies, the pandering to whichever group he’s speaking in front of on a certain day, the flip flops in a time span of days, they’re all on tape for all the world to see. It won’t be lies, it won’t be innuendo, it will be the truth, and in this case, may the truth set this nation free from the corrupt Chicago thug named Barack Obama.

Obama and the Dems are going down the wrong path, but they would NEVER give GW a perceived victory on this.

Hillary Democrats and Republicans are on the same team now…we do not care if you call PUMA’s republicans.

Obama voted against a ban on partial birth abortion – what more does anyone in the religious right need to know to vote against him? Actions speak louder than words, and Obama’s actions are not reflective of someone who will garner much support from the religious right, no matter how much he panders. He’s trying to pander to the gun folks as well, but the NRA already has his number and have come out strongly against him. The longer this election season goes on, the more people will finally see this guy for the fraud that he is. No courage of his convictions, heck, what convictions?

i will take obamas flipping over john mccains any day because i understand why he is flip flopping you see hes not in the primaries any more courting democrats hes in the general election courting everyone republicans independets which i happen to be independet every politican does this now on mcains flips he just down right doesnt have a clue he either forgets what he says or hes in denial about saying it if you pay attention more to obama and listen you will understand his need to do this remember we know mccain obama is new he is trying to introduce himself at the same reassure people who he is remember folks polititcs are polititcs and obama is pretty brilliant

Will – And McCain believes we’re better of than we were in 2000. And he, not surprisingly, admitted that he doesn’t know the first thing about the economy. You say Obama is racist? So let’s elect an old moron instead. Yeah that makes complete sense.

That is a solid anwer Jock, you are just double talking, if you really cared about racism you would not defend Wright or Trinity Church, if the shoe was on the other foot, and in my life I have had the opportunity to stand up against racism and I did. I do not repect people who see racism and choose to be blind.

JimmyTmac – Well, to be fair, McCain didn’t really say that. And must we call everyone morons just because we disagree with them? If you mean “ignorant,” then say it. That’s not the same thing.

rogersm234
I haven’t seen racism at Trinity, so I guess I’m off the hook. Do you even know what “racism” means?

Got news for you Jock, a personal attack is a personal attack, and I had someone permanently removed for calling me ignorant.

hey ROGER 234what are you saying obama brought you hillary democrats and republicans together now wow thats change last i checked republicans couldnt stomache bill and hill and hill despises repugs as bill does too well good for obama proven he can bring change and bring people together thanks puma now we see obama can really bring change!!!

Jock….Why did Obama denouce Wright?

rogersm234
“Ignorant” doesn’t have to be a personal attack, but I’m sure it could be used that way. I am completely ignorant on the subject of electronics, but I don’t consider that a personal attack on myself. If McCain actually had said that he “didn’t know the forst thing about the economy,” I suggested that “ignorant” would be stronglly preferred to “moron” for describing that situation.

Double talk Jock….it’s not working

News flash: McCain is not Bush. Never even liked him. The claim isn’t working cuz everyone knows McCain! Best choice for this election!

rogersm234 -
Obama denounced Wright partly in the vain attempt to get the right-wing noise machine to move on to something else, and partly because Wright was continuing to grandstand and offend for attention.

bluebird – I beg to differ. I think the claim is working. The shoe undeniably fits. Why on earth else would Obama have higher favorability ratings than McCain?

To NoBama08: Also, even though I think Drilling is what the American people want, I’d much rather have the new Honda hydrogen fuel cell car.

bluebird i didn’t say what you said was true or that Obama did not support Welfare reform. i just pointed out that “working class” people who are losing their jobs and may need welfare may be happy to hear that Obama was for it being available for them in their time of need. Sorry the sarcasm and irony might take a bit of thinking…

I guess I just want to go back to the Clinton years when we had a budget surpluss, people had jobs, the dollar had value and gas was cheap. Not to mention we weren’t at war. What a difference 8 years makes. I guess I’m hoping Obama is more Clinton than Carter. And more Roosevelt than Kennedy.

jock how do do that with a marxist?

I don’t think Americans want another FDR, even if we are in a recession. I don’t think they want another Reagan either. Obama needs to find a balance.

That’s actually what Bill Clinton wanted to do. Cut welfare and get tough on crime.

Voteing McCain – You say McCain is not Bush but you sure can’t do a good job of proving it. You say Obama in no Clinton but I can make a very compeling case to prove that he’s exactly like Clinton. You couldn’t name one single signicant policy disagreement between Bush and McCain. And even if you could name one, I could name twice as many agreements on policy between Clinton and Obama.

The RNC plans attack ads… and exactly why is this news?

So either ABC News has seen these ads already, or ads highlighting the difference between candidates are attack ads now? I’m not saying they won’t be attack ads, but honostly, none of us know yet.
Sure, Obama said that it’s going to happen. But the last time we blindly followed a politician we wound up in Iraq. Yes, Obama says he’s differant from the other politicians, but that’s the politicians’ motto. “I’m not like them.” What has Obama done to deserve such blind trust?
No, I think I’ll wait and decide on what the candidates do and don’t do. Not based on the reputation of the party they belong to.

As expected, the RNC will demolish Obama by simple comparisons between the most liberal, left-wing Democrat to a moderate Republican.
The whining from Pelosi, Dean, Reid, Kennedy, Kerry, and the rest of the ultra-liberal crowd should follow shortly.
Then, they will all face the east and bow to Mecca for their evening prayers…
