Obama to McCain: Your “Juvenile” Tactics Are Fattening Our Campaign Coffers

Just keep the check books open–there are more to come.

That is right, after seeing that ad I donated for the first time to Obama.
John McCain has nothing to offer me or my family.

I gave to the Obama campaign. It upsets me that McCain is playing around while I am looking for a job and trying to get my kids through college. I need focus from a candidate not humor, not now. allan

HAHA
BACKFIRE, you republicans can be enjoying your negative campaign BUT what you guys don’t realize is that mcBUSH has FINALLY destroyed his reputation as “another type of politician” he is now a full-blooded republican the ones that are losing seats all around the country, OBAMA can SUCESSFULLY now link him to bush, saying “all he has to give the american people is NOTHING”.

Go ahead, Emmy. Send him as much money as you can.
Obama supporters will rally around a smoking cigarette if Obama tells them that is the cool thing to do. But the real issue is does this man have anything except a smoking habit to recommend him? So far he and thee are seriously lacking a sense of humor right when that would be helpful.
Who needs four years of a big-doe eyed sad sack victim telling us we need to be sorry for being Americans and apologizing to the world for it?
Get this right: you are not going make us feel guilty, make us apologize or make us vote for the man unless he really does have the qualities of leadership we admire. And a guy who takes himself too seriously is not one of those qualities.

len
you are the one to talk, you are supporting a party with NO SOLUTIONS, all you have is negative ads mocking the voters, you do realize that the ads are mocking the voters more than Obama.

And YO Obama – your words of arrogance are giving the McCain campaign hours of ad material.
Nothing like using your own words to defeat you. Nothing sleazy about that, it’s just your own words.
Besides, McCain fighting back will finally get conservatives back on McCain’side.
So it’s a win-win for conservatives.

I notice he didn’t mention the polls.
I LOVE Obama’s seriousness…he is like the class president against, what is McCain like…heh heh, hmmm, hmmm, okay, okay, he is kind of like those two old guys on the Muppet show, Waldorf and ?? But I love those guys! Maybe that makes Obama Sam the Eagle? Personality-wise anyway…
Lighten up everybody!

I just donated money to the Obama campaing.
Thanks John!!

I love the ads. I hope McCain puts out a video of Obama stealing everyone else’s words. (Just words, etc…) There is just SO much material. Thanks John-here’s another donation!
BTW, I’m a democrat.

Obama’s race-baiting and low road tactics guaranteed this Dem family will never vote for him.
Glad the McCain camp called him on his race-baiting – and now Obama has admitted playing the Race Card!
after denying it all day yesterday.

I’m another person that gave money to Obama in reaction to the attacks. McCain’s tactics are beyond childish. Obama is right when he says that McCain has no new ideas to push, so he’s just throwing everything he can at Obama, hoping that something will stick. It is a weak effort that only highlights McCain’s overall weakness as a candidate.

I, too, love the ads. Because ultimately, they are going to work in Senator Obama’s favor to help win the election!
The more McCain shows Obama on TV, using his own dollars, the more people will be curious about him and open to hearing from paid staff and volunteers on the ground!
By not talking about the issues substantively, McSame is avoiding showing that he’s Bush3, but his attacks on Obama are not likely to work in the long run, especially as people get to know Senator Obama.
Obama 2008

We’re in a recession – and yet Obama decides at the last minute to move the Dem convention to another site on the last night to accommodate his celebrity status.
This move is costing MILLION$ more- and the DNC was already behind in donations.
Obamabots need to send more money to THE ONE!

I think that McCain supporters are afraid of change. They want someone else to change so they don’t have to. The problem with this is that McCain and his supporters will bring down this country. The people that really love this country are Obama and his supporters. We don’t want this country to go to hell like you McCain supporters do. McCain needs to get over Vietnam and get rid of Budweiser Barbie on the trail. Doesn’t he know that 14 year old boys are too young to vote.

LOL….laugh and scoff at the McCain ads all you want, but look at all the attention they are getting? Even people who never saw the ads know about them. And you know what? No matter how childish or low you say they are, every time people think of Obama now, a image of Paris Hilton pops up in their head. It’s subliminal adverstising at it’s best. YOu can’t buy publicity like that. Pure genius!
To this day, I have not understood how
Paris Hilton got to be so popular, what has she accomplished?
I ask the same questions of Obama.
and now…..thanks to McCain, every American asks the same as well.
Brilliant!

McCain = McPain

To this day, I have not understood how
Paris Hilton got to be so popular, what has she accomplished?

Brilliant ad by McCain. Its about time he started addressing the fluff. You go JOHNNY MAC!

Just donated money to Obama as a reaction to McCain’s negative ads. Glad to see that 100,000 people joined me. Sorry to see McCain stoop so low but not really surprised. Think that I saw that he recently hired some of Bush’s people to help him with his campaign.

Ads are good. Nothing like seeing Obama’s own silly “divine” pronouncements used against him.
Busing followers and texting even those too young to vote to attend his rallies so as to create a rock concert atmosphere….the MSM getting tickled pink over him, calling him a rock star of celebrity status… a world tour with paparazzi in tow, so the McCain camp has it right: juvenile ads for a juvenile candidate.
And they think donations are going to save him…not once the “too juvenile to to be president” impression is etched in voters mind and they take it right into the voting “booth”.

Thank You John McCain for not backing down to Obama’s racial garbage … I sure wish Hillary had hit his Campaign back harder against it.

Guess who’s playing childish games here with the welfare of this nation.
In fact, not everyone will follow Obama’s empty rhetoric that slowly leads this nation to Marxism. Take it from the rich, and redistribute it. Sorry. This is not based on the Bible (that Obama claims as his source). But it’s is based on Marxists ideology, that was already tried in the last century with disastrous results for millions of human beings. For me that grew up behind the iron curtain, listening to Obama’s speech is like de ja vue again.
We can’t criticize him without being accused of insensitivity.
So now, poor little kid is getting hurt. Lets comfort him and give him some candies (or coins).

Obama has lost 8 points in the polss since these ads started running. Of course he’s crying- LOL!

The only thing McCain had going for him at the start of this election was his image as an honorable man with a sense of integrity and common decency. His recent, dispicable tactics have shown that that image was false. McCain is obviously capable of tossing his honor aside like an old shoe whenever it gets between him and his election hopes. Shame on him and on his Republican cronies. There is now no reason left to even consider voting for the man. He’s been seduced by the dark side, has made a pact with the Nixon/Bush swiftboaters to sell his soul for votes, and has proven that he’s no more than an older, sadder version of Bush.

McCain, a man I used to admire, has be come a sad, confused old man desperate for this last chance at power. It is so demeaning to see him prostitute himself by these lies. John, win with honor or lose with honor, for without honor, you are nothing.

McCain says Obama is playing the “race card”. What is McCain doing with these stupid ads, playing the “juvenile card” or maybe the “childish card”? He sure isn’t playing the “presidential card”.

I’m amazed at the morons who say Obama has no substance. Almost universally when you ask them if they have read his platform on his web site they say no. Ignorant voters deserve what they get and more of BushCo, unnecessary war and corporate welfare is on the way.

Doing it again. Crying poor me and taking money again from the people who can least
afford it. How much money does it take for some one to become president. How many people could we be helping with this money.

x32792 I couldn’t have stated the facts any better.

We teach our children to play it fairly, win or lose. But look at the example adults are setting, particularly the campaign tactics of McCain. Anything goes as long as you win! Where is the honor and integrity these people claim monopoly to?

No McCain does not mock God & Jesus, Obama mocks them by pretending he’s the new God & Jesus.
———-
What the hell are you talking about? That is perhaps the dumbest thing I’ve read in a forum full of idiots. Please give me one example where Obama “pretended” to be the “new God & Jesus.”

-I’m an independent voter who just made another contribution to the Obama campaign.-
I’m an independent voter has never and will never make a contribution to the Obama campaign.

Exactly why we don’t need an inexperienced empty-suit for President.

“For 8 years we’ve heard how arrogant Bush is and how that’s a bad thing.
Now suddenly arrogance is just great confidence and oh yeah, suddenly it’s a good thing.
You can’t make this stuff up.
Obamabots continue to amuse.”
Bunch of flip-floppers.

I’m an independant voter and I just made a contribution to Hillary Clinton. So there!

Citizen Voter,
You try to think this through too much.
Britney & Paris are stars that are mostly hyped by the media. Especially Paris.
It’s pretty simple, quit making it complicated.

Obama the sly one. So he thinks. If his claim were true he wouldn’t be whining.

I’m a life long Republican, and I’ll definitely be voting for Obama. I’m sick of Bush and McCain and their unpresidential, uneducated, juvenile antics. I’m ready for a change in Washington. I can’t wait until November!

for those with “eyes”, let them “see”…
if you don’t know what is happening, let me tell you…
they pushed the auto-play button, sending subliminal images and messages to command us how to think, who to choose…..
something must have been wrong with us to have chosen George Bush… TWICE !
brainwashed, some say.
Indoctrinated by beliefs that grooved patterns into our thoughts and behavior.
losing our sense of what is right.. our ability to discern the truth.
They’re begun to herd in the mindless sheep…..
but a wind is stirring, and many are waking from their sleep and slumber…
thinking, analyzing, discovering what matters to them
freedom from conditioned ways of thinking,
freedom to choose what is right for me and my countrymen
freedom to express my own expectations for this country
for my child and grandchild to come…
yes, the one is here
and it is me…
because I can see

This is getting good. McCain has more fight in him than I thought. Its time someone took it to Obama and stop letting him get away with putting race and fear out there(he did it in germany) I know I dont look like the other people who visted here) Now the they will try and make you scared of me) throwing out typical white granny. He got away with so much. Now he admits to using his race now he should apologize to Clinton. I also heard that now Obama says he may support offshore drilling… guess he saw the pole that most people want it. McCain is not my Choice and Obama is not my choice. This country is in a world of trouble when one of them becomes president.

I am still giving my “write in vote” to Dr.Ron Paul, these 2 clowns that the media propagates is a circus, you don’t have just these two clowns to choose from. DO NOT BE NAIVE PEOPLE!!!

nic, no one lied to me.
His just words speech (the main part which he’s famous for) was from Deval Patrick.
Nice try though. You lose.
Without a teleprompter, Obama is below average. McCain works better WITHOUT a teleprompter.
What does that tell you? Exactly.

“When you apply for a job, I think you need to be qualified for that position…I wouldn’t be ready”
Barack Obama 2004
When asked if he would run for president in 2008.
For once Obama was right.

This Obama is getting more out of control and arrogant as time goes by. I hope more and more people see through his arrogance and fakeness.

My favorite part of the Obama world tour was when an Obama aide answered a reporter’s question about how when a POTUS makes a speech it’s not always a campaign rally….
And then the reporter said….”But Obama isn’t POTUS yet”
LOLOLOL. PRICELESS!

barackstar—you see that is what mccains supporters dont get obama is getting his money from everyday people why mccains comes from the super rich and huge companies and big oil and the republican hate machine.

Tom, yeah those Hollywood celebs and Oprah are such “ordinary people.”
Nice try but you guys are all weak, weak, weak.

Low Road Express, quit trying to tell me “what Obama meant” because we heard what he said.
Michelle Obama also said in a speech that it’s not fair when some people get a bigger piece of the pie than others, and we need to work on making it all more equal.
Uh, that’s socialism honey, and I want no part of it. Neither do most Americans.
So run along, Michelle & Barack and peddle your marxism/socialism elsewhere.

HIS COFFERS WERE ALSO FAT IN PA, INDIANA, OHIO, W.VA TEXAS, ETC ETC.
HILLARY BEAT HIM IN ALL THE IMPORTANT PLACES.
OBAMA’S COFFERS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FAT
WHO CARES??
MCCAIN IS POSIED TO SWEEP
COFFERS OR NO COFFERS
TJ, MAN W/O PARTY THANKS TO FLIP FLOP FLOPPER OBAMA.

barackstar—you see that is what mccains supporters dont get obama is getting his money from everyday people why mccains comes from the super rich and huge companies and big oil and the republican hate machine.

Bingo!!!
The funnest thing about this board and Mayor McCheese’s supporters is, how obvious which one’s listen to Bill-O the Clown and Sean Waaaaaaaaaaaaaanity.
They used the exact same talking points when attacking Obama.
Stupid is as stupid does.

you can look at all the polls you want 2 out of 3 people i talk to are for obama—–he is just getting the same crap that jfk got because he was catholic—and jfk won–nice try you will never see mcdummy in the white house—just the crazy house

klsmithslc Sorry to hear about your inlaws being racist. Some of his supporters write-off any non-supporters as racist, others are so guilt-ridden that they will vote for him to prove that they are not racist. Still others are caught up in the emotional appeal and havent’ done the homework on the candidates. He did so horrendously during the debates and has no performance record, that my feeling was it was painfully obvious to all that he is not ready for the job today. I hope enough people will wake up to his machinations or we as a nation are doomed.

Oh so drilling is a gimmick?
Lol.
It’s obvious why you guys lose most elections.
Even Jay Leno gets it. He says “Republicans want to start drilling more in America but dems block it saying it would take 10 years to produce anything…..you know, what they said 10 YEARS AGO”
It’s pretty sad when even a late night talkshow/comedian gets it and democrats don’t.
Democrats exposed…I love it.

McBUSH is a NUT CASE..

Today’s Gallup daily tracking poll results – Barack Obama 44% – John McCain 44%. Americans are beginning to see the chink in Barack’s armor. Its called “EGO”. If Barack does not suddenly become more sincere and down-to-earth pretty soon, he loses the election. Seeing his performances over the Democratic primary to the general election campaign I only see him getting worse. McCain 2008!

Twelve years ago GOP wanted more offshore drilling and Democrats said no that it wouldn’t do any good for 10 years.
Gee, that oil sure would be coming in handy right now, wouldn’t it?
Still want to vote for democrats?
Lol.

Jo, we don’t need offshore drilling. it’s all hype. haven’t you heard? there are many sights for drilling that have already been ok’d for drilling but they haven’t been touched by the oil companies. how much damage do we have to do to this planet before we run out of luck…it’s sort of like kids thinking they’re going to live forever – this planet we live on is being destroyed by our greed and selfishness. No, Clinton was absolutely right to veto the bill. Maybe for the wrong reasons but he did the right thing for the planet.

PhillyPaul, there are Republican voters and politicians who have called Obama a “boy” and Pat Buchanan admits for McCain to win he will have to make people think Obama is “too exotic” and different b/c of his identity and his middle name. For Obama to observe that he will be attacked on these lines is being honest, not taking the low road. Sorry, but thou doth protest too much.

I would like to address three issues.
The more I follow the politics of the Obama/GOP McCain message the more I support Obama’s message. The GOP wants things to remain the same, a war mongering party placing fear and telling us this is the only way to keep America safe. They don’t want change. Change is what we can hope for in this nation. I want our country to become a respected one whom the world can call on to “STOP CONFLICTS” and not start them.
Secondly; how can you accept Bush’s stimulus checks, cash them, and say nothing negative? But have the nerve to call Obama’s plans to jump start the economy by issuing a stimulus check saying “he’s buying our votes”? This is another remark from someone who is still ‘out of touch”. You see, the GOP has no campaign but to constantly dish out negative ads against Obama campaign. Don’t they know that this tactic is lame and will not work anymore?
Finally; you have your GOP followers telling you they don’t support “The Republican party” they don’t trust McCain and that he has no strength and are switching their votes to Obama. Quite a few are tired of “business as usual”. Another problem is that the McCain campaign continues to say’s “we need to find alternative energy sources” but blame Obama for the current fuel costs at the pump. Yet Bush and McCain want to begin drilling for more “OIL”. You can’t have it both way’s.
It sounds like, hey McCain, are going SCHIZOPHRENIC? What’s wrong with that picture?
Obama 2008

PhillyPaul, news reports mention that Obama campaign people have been harassed and had their offices defaced with ethnic slurs and vandalized. By your logic, if Obama says some folks won’t vote for me b/c I am black, HE’s the one playing the race card when he’s just observing an unfortunate fact. No not all anti-Obama voters are racist, but when you attack him for pointing out that some are, that shows wishful thinking on your part of more sordid motives.

Bob, well since the democrat controlled congress has a 9% approval rating, it looks like people would rather elect another republican over a democrat.
Democrat congress DREAMs of Bush approval ratings. Lol.

Jo,
Stating you are reading things from all sides, and offering no proof other than half-right, yet misleading lies means you convince only your own brand of kool-aid drinkers.
Typical tactics of political hacks on both sides.
W.R.

A black man saying he is black is not injecting racism it’s talking fact. A campaign responding to fact by calling it the race card is injecting racism into the campaign. Let us not forget the Britney/Paris blondes opposite Obama and what the Tennessee Republicans did to Harold Ford in the last Senate campaign when they smeared the black (there’s that word again)candidate with a suggestive blonde looking into the camera and speaking to him seductively. Subliminal racism anyone? It worked in Tennessee, it’s not going to work this time.

PhillyPaul, Obama has never talked about white guilt in his life, why are you so obsessed about it. Economy, war in Iraq and Afghanistan, and you want to focus on his race and racial politics of the 80s. Move on, buddy, please. The country will be better for it when we stop interjecting race and so-called reverse racism-baiting into politics.

Jschmidt, if you believe Democrats are evil and responsible for everything bad in America, I really encourage you to read more. Both parties have their strengths and weaknesses, that’s how our democracy “checks and balances” itself. That is also why people are voting more Democratic this year, b/c it is time for a change.

The drilling is a bad idea, but a popular one. The reason it is being blocked by the Dem Leadership is not that it will pass, it won’t, it is that it would give the Republicans an issue to campaign on that impacts pocket books, and makes those low knowledge voters turn out.
Naturally, Pelosi is actually a GOOD leader (from a political stand point) because she is doing what is best for the NATION (not offering a stupid solution to a complex problem, like the Republicans want) and at the same time not handing the Republicans a victory.
That is responsible, political leadership, and that is why you guys are here crying about it. Your side is making hay for a bad idea that helps only corporations and hurts the US.
The problem with most of you is that you claim to love the United States, but in fact you love the corporate interests in the US at the expense of the good of the nation as a whole.

Oh yeah, Pelosi is a good leader. That’s why she has a 9% approval rating.
Nancy was going to put Murtha and other people like Conyers, etc. in leadership positions AFTER she said she would come in and CLEAN UP the GOP corruption.
You’re joking right? About Pelosi? Because that was hilarious.

Yep. She is not only a good leader, she puts the nations interest above her own political interest.
Doing the right thing is not always popular. I think W may have said something like that…or are you calling your own beloved W a liar?

I see your point. By countering his/her false stories, I’m just trying to help the truth get out there to others in the public rather than actually expecting an honest debate with him/her/it.

I’m certainly one of those who contributed, though not for the first time. I thought at the time that Obama was lucky McCain launched those ads right near the end of the month, which is usually a good donating time already. It certainly inspired me to give more!
I have learned through the Obama campaign that there is always something concrete I can do when I get angry at the media coverage, opponents’ statements, or the like, or when I worry about the results from a poll. One easy thing I can do is to make a small donation to Obama or the DNC. Another one is to go out and register more voters. I did both this week and it made it a whole lot easier to handle the barrage of negative and viciously false attacks and smears.
I think the thing that made me maddest, if you will forgive a reference to another network, was to see Rick Davis, the McCain manager, repeatedly talking right through Andrea Mitchell for minute after minute during an “interview,” because he was scared to have her ask him rational questions about the celebrity ad. Of course, I’d say he lost a number of the remaining Hillary voters who had been intrigued by McCain with that incredibly disrespectful performance, but it was still disgraceful.

I am an Obama supporter but I think he is all too human unlike McCain. He is enduring multiple disabling conditions; possible post traumatic disorder syndrome, life-threatening cancer, and aging. All of them might affect his cognitive, affective, and behavioral performance. In spite of all these adversary conditions, republicans believe McCain will be a better president than Obama. McCain is truly an Uebermensch, more powerful than Moses.

jssmidt
just remember that big oil and opec are in total controll– and if we produce more the arabs will produce a little less–therefore nothiong changes—big oil here will sell on the world market and we here will see very little or no change—big oil will make bigger bucks.

big oil here and opec have the perfect monopoly

fighty
mccain is the worst candidate i have seen in my many years and that includes bush

Can we please stop calling McCain childish/juvenile, and start calling him senile? Senile people do childish things but let’s cut to the chase my friends.
McCain for President (of Iraq).

i will go to sleep tonight knowing obama will be our next pres.
and dreaming of paris washing my car what could possibly be better

True enough story. I actually donated twice yesterday bringing my donations for the month to four. McCain supporters, on the other hand, got ads the guy’s own mother called “kinda stupid.”

I donate every week to Obama.
On Monday, August 4th, thousands of supporters will be donating online to celebrate Obama’s birthday and the change he is bringing to American politics.
Join this massive grassroots fundraising event on Monday!
YES WE CAN.

Good job, Jake. Everything you said in that article is true. As a result of McCain’s attacks, we made 145 contributions to Obama’s campaign this week. It was insane, it took a lot of time, and now we’re broke. But we can ill-afford to have the lying, dishonest John McCain as our president at this critical time for our nation.

Obama supporters are very enthusiastic about their candidate. Though we are ridiculed for it, he does give us hope for change in this country.
Many are getting involved in politics for the first time in their lives; giving of their time, their talents and financial support.
The negative campaigning will not work. Not this time. The Republican rule of this country is coming to an end.

Yes we tried the Democrat rule during the 1970′s and we entered into a depression only rivlialed by the GREAT DEPRESSION.
1960′s was also the Democrat rule. We entered into the quagmire of Vietnam war

we made 145 contributions to Obama’s campaign this week. It was insane, it took a lot of time, and now we’re broke.

Who is bonehead now, and get deceived.

Hey, McCain supporters, did you see where McCain said something with which his campaign did NOT agree? When the interviewer asked one of McCain’s lead guys about it, he replied: Senator McCain does not speak for our campaign!! Imagine that!! So what we obviously have at McCain’s campaign is his campaign heads creating and writing what McCain MUST SAY, when he goes of script as he often does, he IS NOT SPEAKING FOR THE CAMPAIGN!!! McCain’s handlers are the ventriloquists and they pull the strings which make McCain the puppet speak. Who’s running for president anyway?? Is it McCain or is it one of his handlers, or all of his handlers?? I am confused, aren’t you? McCain does okay when IF he keeps his eyes on the written words, he does not do well with the teleprompters. If he looks away from his notes and the teleprompters, he loses his place and begins making up his own thing which does not match where he left off….the are the times McCain is not speaking for the campaign and when he sounds like an jerk. Aren’t you McCain supporters getting tired of looking at that pale corpse-like face with a smirk which pauses and waits for applause which he seldom gets?? McCain has always been a vicious man, he is known for his rages in the senate. He has tried to “play nice” but cannot hide his facade so the real vicious, ugly, dispicable McCain is exposing himself for who he really is! Love it!! Am glad we are seeing the REAL McCain BEFORE the General Election and NOT AFTER!! I cannot imagine this vicious, ugly old buzzard at the helm of our Beloved United States!!

I donated for the first time after I saw Obama fight back with that good ad.We need more of those lined up atleast every other day, never mind the money.

Every day this week because of these attack ads, I have donated to Barack’s campaign. The latest ad about Moses really reminds me that not only did God part the Red Sea, but Jesus feed at least 5000 with 5 fish and 2 loaves of bread. Thanks to John McCain and the Republican party the money donated to Barack’s campaign MULTIPLES!!

Yeah, a guy who does fist bumbs with his wife, Jay-Z brush offs and Will Smith bird flipping is calling someone juvenile. And Obama the fool has turned old McCain into juvenile McCain. Not very bright is it.

I would like some thorough research into where Obama’s contributions are really coming from. I have heard that although he claims most of his donations come from first time, small $ contributors, that he is really getting funded by a number of powerful people with hefty agendas and favors that need filling. I wish a journalist would look further into this. This could be some pretty shady stuff. When Obama declares so often that his money comes from small donations, I start to think ‘He doth protest too much’.

geevil said:
Yeah, a guy who does fist bumbs with his wife…
************
Clue alert! George H.W. Bush was photographed doing the fist bump in 2006! So I assume he is “juenvile” too? LOL!

So more money will convince Americans
that Obama can be trusted and is qualified to be president.
I don’t think so..It does make him look like a desperate politician trying to buy the election.
Obama will raise our taxes to support his enormous spending habits.
Taxpayers will pay for Obama’s pet projects and probably foot the bill for some of his crazy pastors.

“As Catholics, this is beyond insulting… to use one of the most revered man in the Bible is beyond the pale.”
As a Methodist, JMC, I have to inform you that is Charlton Heston, not Moses. The one thing we know about Brittany and Paris is they are NOT actresses. They play themselves everywhere they go. Obama should consider doing the same but then who knows if he knows who he is at this point.
Obama: The Symbol Or The Lawyer?

Nice way to ask for more money from Americans who have to choose between gas and food on the table! Just keep the money rolling in!

One of the key questions in this campaign is whether we as a nation can collectively discuss controversial topics like race in a mature, sophisticated, and civil manner, or whether we must inevitably decline into immature point scoring, ‘gotcha’ politics, and ad hominem attacks.
I would venture to say that Senator Obama’s campaign has been betting on the former. Meanwhile, the increasing influence of former Karl Rove staffers in Senator McCain’s campaign is a clear sign that the McCain campaign is betting on the latter holding true.
Just because you talk about (let along obliquely mention) race doesn’t mean you are “playing the race card.”
Race is an important issue and a legitimate topic for discussion. Some people may want to bury their heads in the sand and ignore the issue, or pretend it doesn’t exist, but it does.
The key is how you address race.
Obama was using humor to obliquely reference his own race while addressing the larger issues of some of the rumors and skepticism that have been circulating about him.
Meanwhile, the McCain campaign shows its immaturity in talking about race, by immediately categorizing the mere mention of something remotely racial as “playing the race card.” In doing so, they show that they are willing to drag the level and standard of public discourse down to the lowest level.

Grant, his answer was, to include helping everyone of all colors, then dismissed the kid with a “If you don’t like it…you can run for President.” So, if we have a problem with the candidate, rather than analyze any issues, our sole offer from this man in his job is to run for his job as a solution to the way he runs things. Sounds pretty RIGID.

mcaine is to old and full of old resentments in his war times to even think he has a chance to win this election he might want to get even like bush did and further weaken the economy

I am a 39 year old man. I have never voted. I wasnt even registered. And I NEVER gave money to political campaigns.
Today – I registered online, I gave a large chunk of change to Obama’s campaign. And I will Vote this fall.
Truly – it was inspired by McCain’s ads. I was planning on voting, but not planning on giving money. But this joker McCain is an embarassment.

What a week!! The Bush-McCain people were reduced to issuing the most childish ads in the history of American politics and Obama’s fund raising from ordinary folk soard!!

Some of you are Democrats, some are Republicans, and some Independents. It doesn’t matter the party, we all need to wake up and think about our pocketbooks when looking at McCain vs Obama on tax agenda.
Proposed changes in taxes after 2008 General election:
CAPITAL GAINS TAX
MCCAIN
0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples). McCain does not propose any change in existing home sales income tax.
OBAMA
28% on profit from ALL home sales
How does this affect you?
If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain in taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will also adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income.
DIVIDEND TAX
MCCAIN 20%/15% (no change)
OBAMA 39.6%
How will this affect you?
If you have any money invested in the stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned in taxes if Obama become President. The experts predict that higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.

Pretty straightforward. Under Obama your taxes will almost double if you’re making $30K — is this the “middle class” that Obama wants to help?
INHERITANCE TAX
MCCAIN 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax)
OBAMA Restore the inheritance tax
How does this affect you?
Many families have lost businesses, farms and ranches, and homes that have been in their families for generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax. Those willing their assets to loved ones will subject those assets to these taxes.
NEW TAXES BEING PROPOSED BY OBAMA
* New government taxes proposed on homes that are more than 2400 square feet
* New gasoline taxes (as if gas weren’t high enough already)
* New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating, gas, water, electricity)
* New taxes on retirement accounts and last but not least …
* New taxes to pay for socialized medicine so we can receive the same level of medical care as other third-world countries.

Don’t you know he got more money than any candidate has collected and that still doesn’t help him at all, he’s still at or worse in the polls than he was before. So u can continue to give all you want but money isn’t gonna buy more voters. You people are delusional if you think voters can be bought. Obama is an empty suit full of promises duping you into thinking your lives will get better with him being president. Your lives should be better already, cause he’s going around acting as if he was the president already.

The best defense against the Schmidt/ Rove/ McCain offensive. Focus on the people behind the negative strategy, the new McCain campaign. Use their strength (the negative campaign) against them, repeatedly.
1. The takeover is now complete. The McCain campaign is now run by the Schmidt/ Rove/ Cheney/ Neocon/ Haliburton/ Swiftboat/ Smear apparatus. The same team that gave us Bush, the same dirty politics, the same distractions, the same disaster awaiting the country and economy, is now controlling the McCain campaign.
2. They know how to win Presidential campaigns. And when let loose in the Whitehouse in just 8 short years – they will also run the economy into the ground, lose 50,000 jobs per month to China and India, send billions a month in US wealth to middle east oil despots who stoke terrorism, lose prime US assets to our enemies, lead us into record national debt, the subprime crisis, Enron and more.
3. They must think we are stupid. Will we vote against Rove, Cheney and the neocons and show them that you can fool all the people all the time? Will we tell McCain it is sad that he is embracing the same dirty politics and desperate Bush strategist that smeared McCain, his family and his adopted Bangladeshi daughter Bridget in 2000?

Since Obama’s response to the protestor was “You don’t like it, do it yourself then” paraphrasing, yet same difference. The young man, was not allowed to respond to that because the crowd cheered Obama, as they jeered the kid. When the kid was questioned by the MEDIA he answered he “Was not satisfied with Obama’s (dismissive) answer and so he won’t be voting for Obama. As someone said in another post, that with all that money from HUGE donors monthly installments from little rich college kids why is Obama turning into such an EXPENSIVELY, High media backed LOSER?
