Axelrod on Debates: Wonders if ‘McCain 7.0’ Will Show Up, Says Obama Has Learned McCain ‘Doesn’t Like to Look at Him Very Often’

wrong on the issues…
down in the polls…
losing the election..
Conservatives & Republicans acting like the Titanic……. fleeing the sinking ship…after they wrecked it……

Why don’t your McCain supporters ever, and I mean ever, stick to the topic and talk about your own candidate instead of attacking Sen. Obama. Psst…is it because you are ignorant of the facts in regards to the economy. READ THE PAPER!!

The truth hurts, and Obama does not want you to know the truth. It is unfathomable what is really happening here at this time in America. We cannot get honest, true journalism from ABC, NBC, CBS and many other news outlets. We Americans must dig deep to find the truth. Thank God there are intelligent people like me who DO search for the truth, and the truth here is appalling. Obama should not be running for President. He is not what he claims to be. Great article. Thank you Tony Blankley.

Is McCain going to wimp out and not repeat his nasty attacks to Obama’s face?

After careful consideration I must vote for Sarah Palin and John McCain. How did I come to this conclusion, after 8 years of republican rule I feel this country is already beyond redemption so I may as well go with the flow. The real deciding factor for me was Sarah Palin, when I loose all my savings, my job, my house and my car at least I will still have a good laugh when she speaks. That wink of hers is sure to make me feel warm and fuzzy as everything I have goes down the drain.

Geevil’s response to anyone’s comments – “They’re in the tank for Obama”

He looks like the devil. I can’t stand looking at him either. God help us all if we have to look at him for 4 years

McCain treated Romney the same way. He rarely glanced in Romney’s direction and often spoke down to Romney.
This superior attitude is obvious in the Obama/McCain debates.
Whenever the voters get a real look at Obama. his numbers go up. Unless McCain hits the ball out of the park then it’s over.

Sandy, you are right. McCain not only looks like the devil, he IS the devil

Sandy, you are right. McCain not only looks like the devil, he IS the devil

blah, blah, blah
PRESIDENT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA!
Better get used to it. :)

MY FELLOW PRISONERS:
As I attempt to figure out my best possible scenario for changing EVERYTHING by letting everything ride on one roll of the dice in tonight’s debate, I’ve come to the conclusion that errrrrrrrrrr………..
I’ve got him right where I want him! Right? Errrrrr, My fellow prisoners, are you with me? Errrrrr, anyone out there?
(crickets chirping)
Everyone will be watching the Dodger/Philly game anyways. There’s nothing McCain can or will do.
POTUS OBAMA – IT’S A LOCK

Senator McCain is on the wrong side of history. Obama victory is yours all the way. GO OBAMA/BIDEN 08/12

whaatever: socialist agenda? Are you kidding me? Bush and pals just proposed one of the biggest socialist plans ever hatched in this country: nationalizing the banks!

With every passing day, McChicken falls further and further behind in Obama’s rearview mirror. O is going to need a high powered telescope to spot him by the time election day rolls around.
Have you seen the early voting numbers?
2 to 1 for Obama………
THIS IS GOING TO BE A LANDSLIDE.
(Even the cynics know it)
How does it feel to see McChicken being systematically stripped of everything politically. By November, he’ll be standing in a barrel with his Ferragamo shoes on.

What kind of candidate doesn’t say anything to anyone’s face?
McChicken McCain
Big Bad War Hero reduced to Bozo the Clown. All due to his own choosing.

“What kind of candidate says “Say it to my face”"
The kind of candidate who expects more than cowards like McCain can deliver.

I predict tonight my fellow Prisoners Mccain will bring up Ayers,Then Obama will counterpunch with something,Maybe Keating five something, and I can see Mccain anger arising and his temper flaring! He doesnt like to talk about Keating five and being found unethical like his Pit bull VP,Mcinsane claims that was the worst part of his life. although he has been known to say his first marriage you know the one where he left his crippled wife for Mrs Botox,That was the most horrible time of his life, so I dont know folks things might get very Violent up in there

“How about that audience plant that told McCain she though Obama was an Arab”
She was a plant alright…a republican one.
“Quinnell I still do. Yeah. I’m not alone. I go to Burnsville, the main Republican headquarters and I do a lot of work over there. A lot of sending out mail and talking to people. And all the people agree with what I’m saying to you about Obama”

What the people behind OBAMA do not realize McCain has already looked the devil in the face. He didn’t like it back in vietnam and he doesn’t like it now. How half of you people on here now can call him a coward is just showing how disolutional you really are to the truth. A person who has just been put in the limelight and no proof of his experiance under duress. You put above the real thing, its sad. McCain has already put his life on the line for us in the face of death. I am so glad I was brought up better then most of you. To stand up for what is right. Hey if OBAMA said jump off the bridge would you?

MY FELLOW PRISONERS:
As I attempt to figure out my best possible scenario for changing EVERYTHING by letting everything ride on one roll of the dice in tonight’s debate, I’ve come to the conclusion that errrrrrrrrrr………..
I’ve got him right where I want him! Right? Errrrrr, My fellow prisoners, are you with me? Errrrrr, anyone out there?

McChicken is hanging on to a piece of wood while going through class 6 rapids with a 1000 foot drop just ahead.
POTUS OBAMA – IT’S A LOCK

How a person sees others reflects what is in one’s heart. I noticed some hatred and dark comments and feel sorry for those who posted them. Just want to say it’s not too late for them to repent, be saved and see the good in the candidates and their fellow human being :-)

If McCain had chosen Romney or Huckabee I’ll probably be voting for him and defending him to the hilt. But His first executive decision was to tap the moose killer and that told me immediately that John McCain lacks real leadership qualities.
So my vote goes to Obama/Biden

Who can stand to look at Obama? Like Austin Powers looking at Fred Savage’s mole. As John Candy said in Uncle Buck “Take this quarter, Go downtown and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face”

Nat Turner……”Obama out-flanked, out-debated and outclassed your Great White Nope.”
Because that comment wasn’t racist…regardless…..
I seriously doubt keeping everything secret, fighting everything from coming to life in a court room, giving $800,000 to ACORN, sitting in a racist church for 20 + years, making deals with felons, not knowing RUSSIA has veto powers, wanting to make deals with people whom want to wipe Israel off the planet, no foreign polic experience (OBVIOUSLY), cannot even make a low income housing project work yet lies and says he can fix the economy………………
The problem is that Obama has zero experience, an unknown past, no proof he actually has college degrees because he will not show ALL of his transcripts, no proof he is a natural born citizen or even a legal citizen for that matter. The problem is that he went over to Kenya and help campaign for his murderous cousin to gain/keep an elected seat.
I am really trying to figure out why you guys think he is right for this country? He has NOTHING to prove this and ZERO experience to back up what he is saying.
Voting for him out of Political Correctness or because he is the same race as you/we are is the most ignorant and most dangerous reason I think I have ever heard.

I find it interesting that the in the tank media has Obama out ahead by a 12 or 15 points in their “independent” polls but when you go to most of the independent pollers Gallup,etc its only like a 7 point spread at the most. Even less when you throw in the traditional and likely voters.

Its not over until Oprah sings. The leftnuts thought they had it in the bag the past two elections but you see what that got ya…lol

“no proof he actually has college degrees”
ROFLMAO!
Right wingers are beyond gullible.

It’s no more trickle down economics but shovel up

Let’s face it America the “my friends” candidate is a joke and has no concrete plans for this country. He is hoping to scare the poor into believing that he has the answers to all that is wrong with America.
After 8 years of his party running things in Washington, he will bring change to Washington! This is laughable at best, especially when he was part of the problem.
Tonight’s debate is already “won” by McCain. He just has to show up and the pitbulls (Rush/Sean) will begin the spin immediately after it’s over.
The reality is that Obama is more knowledgeable than McCain in almost every aspect of politics, and this really frustrates the racists amongst us. How great it will be if and when MLK’s dream of “living in a nation where we will not be judged by the color of our skin, but by the content of our character” comes to pass.

Axelrod “sneered”? Seriously?
I mean, I don’t watch that much TV, and get most of my news from a variety of readables, but I have seen Axelrod in interviews. He never struck me as a sneerer. A snorer, maybe.
In fact, I thought perhaps Mr. Axelrod had transcended such base displays as “sneering” and electively narrowed his affective range to the two poles of “righteous indignation” and “unshakable calm.”

…and by the way, where are McCain’s college transcripts? And how do we know HE is a citizen?

William he served in the United States Navy — that should say enough.

Angelo, here is a bulletin for you: you need not be a citizen to enlist in our military!

That’s funny William, I work for the us military, and um, yes you do.

Angelo, you are wrong. Not true. You do NOT have to be a citizen. Someone here with a green card can enlist in our military. I served with some of them.

Really William, what branch?

Jake, you always seem to add a word here or there to characterize someone’s spoken word. I am curious about your use of “sneer” regarding the Axelrod comment. Why sneer rathe than quipped or snarled. You selections always produce some sense of atmospherics, but they also tend to subtle editorial commentary beyond normal reporting. Facts tinged with opinion may be close to expressing bias. I think you are too good for that. Just an observation.

Angelo: HHB, 1st BN, 81st ARTY, 56th BDE, 1970-72. And you?

Not only that about McCain, but I heard he is secretly a Hindu. I don’t think we can trust them.
LOL

Not into tongue-in-cheek humor, there, Len?

McCain dosen’t make eye contact with Obama because it’s like staring defeat in the face. And I think what little conscience he has left restricts him from misleading and lying to someone’s face.

If lower taxes for the rich and less regulation for corporations are the answer to creating a good economy, why are we in so much trouble? The Republican party has been in power for 8 years, and these policies have all but wrecked our country’s economy. Now McCain proposes to lower the taxes for the rich yet more, and to pay for a huge givaway to fat cats in Wall Street, paid for with your tax dollars.
McCain hoped to harness an ugly, slavering beast comprised of far-right paranoia, hatred, fear, prejudice, and ignorance, and ride it to victory, but now he is starting realize that many Americans dislike his substitution of slander for an actual discussion of the issues.
His zig-zagging on slandering Obama is just one more example of his increasingly erratic behavior and poor judgment, and yet more proof that he has completely lost his moral center–the result of selling his soul to the Karl Rove faction of the Republican party. He is retracting some of his slanders, not because he has repented of them, but because he sees that they have backfired by alienating the undecided voters that he needs if he is to have any hope of winning.
To all of this we have to add McCain’s truly horrible pick for Vice President. What was he thinking? He’s 72 years old and has had repeated bouts with cancer! Can any of us really imagine a President Palin? The thought is frightening-she is far more ignorant and inexperienced than our current president was when he took office, and we have seen what a disaster he created: The occupation of Iraq, the hunt for Bin Laden, Katrina, Wall Street and the banking deregulation fiasco have combined to create a perfect storm of misery for the US.
McCain’s claim to be a ‘maverick’ are absurd-he has voted with Bush 90% of the time, has over 80 lobbyists on his staff, and has elected to veer to the far right in his campaign, to the point of taking advice from Karl Rove. A better description would indeed be erratic, as he claims Obama would raise taxes more than he would one moment, and then the next moment comes up his very own $300,000,000 pork-barrel give-away program to people who borrowed money they couldn’t possibly pay back.
I don’t think many of us are enjoying the McCain campaign’s tactic of slandering the opposition instead of focusing on the issues. Certainly, for every negative thing they say about Obama, they have a similar or worse charge that can be leveled against McCain. Obama and Ayers? How about McCain and the Contras?
If you are enjoying the meltdown of the banking system and the Dow at 9000, you’ll love a McCain Presidency–McCain was right there with Bush deregulating the banks and freeing them from the constraints that previously prevented this kind of greed-driven disaster. Think back, when was the last time you felt secure and prosperous? I’ll bet Clinton was President. This is not a coincidence. Vote Obama, if you don’t want another Great Depression.

Axelrod is a thug. His reputation for stealing elections is legendary. He really should hide himself somewhere and not speak. Additionally McCain didn’t lose either of the two debates thus far, and neither did Sarah. Liberals have the press inventing things for them daily, do you really believe they would put in print that McCain won? It’s funny how just after the debates, McCain won on points, or McCain and Obama had a draw, but a few days in, and WOW, suddenly Obama won.
Barack Hussein Obama is CORRUPT. I don’t care if he’s black, Muslim, Christian (Hardly) or the best speaker to hit a suit since Reagan, he’s corrupt.
Americans will NOT elect him.
However, if you choose to sit and drink your koolaid and believe, do.

Seems that John McCain was born outside the continental United States also.
He was born in the Panama Canal Zone. I guess no one is questioning his citzenship?

Lord have mercy……McCain did show is birth records TO CONGRESS and he was born to TWO American Citizens, one was serving in the US Navy in the Panama Canal during the time of his birth, which was recognized as American soil at the time.
We all know he graduated almost bottom of his Naval Academy class…..not sure why we need to even go there again.
1400 pages of medical records were released, even if only for 3 hours—Obama has release one piece of paper where his “doctor” summarized his medical records…..really?

“McCain did show is birth records TO CONGRESS and he was born to TWO American Citizens, one was serving in the US Navy in the Panama Canal during the time of his birth, which was recognized as American soil at the time.”
No, the Canal Zone was not American soil.
But that doesn’t matter.
McCain and Obama are both eligible to run and the argument on both sides is silly (all due respect Mike NC)

look-John McCain doesn’t look Obama in the eye-because he has no respect for him-and he does not respect him most recently for going back on his word to accept matching funds-now that i understand-i consider that to be a lack of character issue thats more important than the ayers rezko things-that said -McCain lost my vote with the Palin pick and the negative attacks-personally i prefer Hillary-but have decided to vote obama biden.

BenjaminF???? Really??
If I recall correctly, of course you might want to ask Bill Clinton–but the root of all this mess is the housing situation–you know, the ones that Barney Franks, Chris Dodd and Harry Reid REFUSED to regulate after Bill Clinton asked them too, Bush asked three different years and McCain asked 2 different years.
Barney Franks was too busy giving his lover, and Exec with Fannie and Freddie a free ride/millions of YOUR dollars!!!
Dodd and Franks did not want to regulate F&F, they are doing fine—sure they were, because Raines was cooking the books and telling them everything was okay.
I am sure the meltdown of the economy has NOTHING to do with this materialistic society either…..where $60,000 with $5,000 tricked out wheels….$4,000 radio systems……$400,000 people do not need and $200 for a friggin pair of jeans charged to credit cards, card that will end up being cut up on bankruptcy court……
Right….that has NOTHING to do with it either!
Wait……neither does all of the spending that goes on in Washington, right?
I bet most of you did not know this, but if you buy a home that is $100,000 or more, do you know that there is an automatic line item that charges you $400 that goes to ACORN or groups like that?
Therefore, if you buy say 4 homes in your lifetime, either moving, marriage, bigger home because of kids or smaller because they move out—the government rapes you of $1,200 and gives it to ACORN —-wait, LMAO…. TO GET OUT THE VOTE or bully people!!!
Right………

Ahhhh…that was suppose to read $60,00 cars and $400,00 homes

Ryan C……She should apologize because her dad built a buisness from teh ground up?
LMAO….tell that to Obama with his $1.6 million dollar mansion REZKO helped him get….or the private education Michelle Obama was whinning about that cost them so much…..or her clothes….LMAO…….
Does Michelle assist with Charities? How about how much that gave to charities—her big whopping $300 last year???? Right……..and Cindy McCain set up charitable programs….assist with them and pays out the wazooo to charities…….
Nice try!

The bottom line is, do you want another 4-12 years of the inept and corrupt Bush/Cheney political appointees in power? Because those are the people working to get McCain elected, and they are the ones would get to stay in power, along with their corruption and knack for ruining everything they touch.
Do you want another 4-12 years of racking up insane amounts of debt through tax breaks for the ultra-rich – and even more wars – that my generation, and generations to come, are supposed to deal with?
Wake Up America. Change? or More of the Same?
Finally, why does McCain have over 30 casino industry lobbyists working on his campain? Do we really want those people getting even more influence in the regulatory process?

“Now, when they poll only 900 people in a states that has over a million people in it….how much since does that make?”
Classic anti-science by the right wing.
Scientific polling has been around for decades.

Again….you are not giving me an example of anything…..
I said one of the main reason is that PEOPLE are buying crap they CANNOT afford…..
The last time I checked, Cindy McCain can afford her “stuff”.

UnPoliticallyCorrect2008,
Are you still here whining?
Ahhhh, the sweet sign of victory. In 20 days, I will be sitting back with a good chardonnay with my birkenstocks propped up while watching the GOP and fellow cynics committ a massive meltdown. “Honey”, could you pour me another glass? Palin is giving a shoutout to her homies.
It’s going to be a stone cold gas!!!
Just look at the GOP flapping like fish out of water. They actually have to take out loans to finance campaigns of anticipated losers.
That 60 vote holy grail in the Senate is gonna put the elephant out of its misery.

Nat…….
And if Obama wins….I will glady quite my job and wait for the government check……someone needs to be patriotic towards me for once….I need a break anway……wonder if I can get some of that money to pay off my student loans???

Hey Nat/Ryan,
If Obama wins……will you be Patriotic and spread your wealth this way???

“deny thousands of people health care like she did in Illinois”
Michelle developed a program that alleviated stress on the emergency room facilities and made sure people got to see doctors at clinics instead. They even had a shuttle service.
Meanwhile John McCain wants to tax your health benefits from an employer. A tax increase that has never been attempted.
All the right wing has are lies because they lose on the issues.

That is really something. You have both Obama and Axlerod openly questioning John McCain’s manhood, basically calling McCain “gutless”. Meanwhile it is Axelrod and Obama who hide behind their surrogates when they accuse their opponents of racism. So tell me, who are the gutless ones?
This just goes to show you what a bunch of despicable low-lifes Obama and Axelrod are.

LOL….Obama’s “promise (AKA lie) to cut taxes for 95% of America…..
Right…and when more jobs go over seas under Obama’s plan it will not matter about his “promise (AKA lie) to cut taxes because you too will be waiting on that government check!

UnPoliticallyCorrect2008,
Since you’ll be quitting your job due to an inevitable Obama win, I could use a good hired hand to cut and keep my lawn nice and manicured. Also need a good car washer. If you do really good, I’ll let you walk my dog.
It depends……..Onyx doesn’t like TWC’s.
Apply within…..
POTUS OBAMA – IT’S A LOCK!

LOL…Nat….pretty funny……
But seriously…why even bother doing that much work??…I will just sit on my but except for every three months going down to the welfare office to do a check in and then get my food stamp, goverment check and housing assistance!
Be a nice 4 year vacation on Obama!!!!

“Families place a high value on quickly getting simple care. Government should promote greater access through walk-in clinics in retail outlets.”
This is what Michelle Obama wants to do.

LOL…..Obama cited Forbes as a possible member to his Cabinet—-yet Forbes has stated Obama’s plan would devistate the economy and on a poll of CEO’s across this country, Obama was rated either a D or an F.
But I suppose those polls mean nothing …even though they signify WHOM/WHAT is being polled?

Axelrod sneered? Typical since Obama sneers and smirks while McCain is talking during the debates. McCain talks to the American people, why would he direct his comments to Obama?

“the only person in this debate talking about increasing ANY taxes is Obama.”
Well McCain certainly doesn’t want to talk about axing health benefits even though that’s exactly what his plan calls for.
Obama is being honest and telling people that if you make $250K+ your marginal income rate will go from 35% back to 39% as it was under Clinton.
That you payroll tax on money above $200K will go up 2 to 4%.
And that you capital gain tax will go from 15% to 20%.
But small business gets some breaks including a 50% tax credit on employee health plans (something McCain wants to tax employees on), a hiring incentive and no capital gains taxes on small biz investment.
If you make less than $250K, you get a multitude of tax cuts that exceed what McCain is offering.

“McCain has NEVER said he was increasing ANYONE’s taxes”
So he is lying then.
Though Senator John McCain has promised to not raise taxes, his campaign acknowledged Wednesday that the health plan he outlined this week would have the effect of increasing tax payments for some workers, primarily those with high incomes and expensive health plans.
The campaign cannot yet project how many taxpayers might see their taxes go up, said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, Mr. McCain’s top domestic policy adviser. But Mr. Holtz-Eakin said in an interview that for some, Mr. McCain’s health care tax credits would not be large enough to compensate for his proposal to eliminate the tax breaks afforded to workers with employer-provided health benefits

Ryan C–The government is responsible for the economic crisis we are in right now. Why would we want them to be in charge of our health care? Nothing is ever simple when the government is in charge. And walk in clinics? We already have health clinics run by the government, they are sub-standard. I wouldn’t take one step inside much less drag my kids in there. But with Obama’s plan that is the only health care we will have. He is going to make it mandatory for employers to buy into this health care plan for their employees or make them pay an exorbant payroll tax. Small businesses will not be able to afford this, and will have to hire fewer people at a lower wage and give little or no benefits. And what of all the current insurance companies? They will lose business and have to reduce their staff also, causing more unemployed people. McCain’s plan would keep these companies in business but make them more competitive and drive down the costs with his $5,000 credit and we will still have a choice.

“The government is responsible for the economic crisis we are in right now. Why would we want them to be in charge of our health care”
So the right wing strategy was to let Bush screw up the government so badly no one would ever trust it to run anything again?
Do you trust the government to run the military?

Ryan C–Small business owners will suffer under Obama’s plan. They have overhead costs, wages and benefits while having stay competitive to draw business in their market. $200,000 or $250,000 is not a lot of money for a business, and what about the areas that have a higher cost of living. $200,000 may be a lot for someone living in Texas or Louisiana, but it’s not a lot in California or New York.
A plumber asked Obama yesterday why he would raise his taxes on his small business and Obama said, “Well, I’m not trying to punish you, I just want to make sure that people behind you are taken care of” That is a socialist point of view. Why does the plumber have to work hard and succeed to give to the person that doesn’t want to work as hard?

Ryan C– I did not agree with the Iraq war and I think it was the one big mistake in Bush’s presidency, but we have the Democrats to blame for the economy. Starting way back with Jimmy Carter and his Reinvestment Act to medernize the FHA and expand access to more homebuyers. In 1994, Clinton, on behest of ACORN, re-wrote the act with new stipulations stating that Banks were to be given strict quotas to ensure more diversification in housing. May 5, 2006, McCain and 19 others, no Democrats, wrote a letter to Congress warning of the need to regulate Fannie Mae and they were blasted by the Democrats who accused them of being alarmists. Meanwhile, Dodd, Franks, even Obama, all had their hand in the cookie jar of Fannie Mae.
Our first 6 yrs of Bush, we had a sound economy, consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 yr high, gas was $2.19/gal, unemployment rates were 4.5%, Dow Jones hit a record high of 14,000+.
In 2006, a Democratic congress was voted in and consumer confidence plummeted, gas went up to $4.00/ gal, unemployment rate rose to 5.5%, and 1% of homes are in foreclosure.
The re-investment act finally caught up with the Banks who were pressured to make home loans to people who could not afford them then were left holding the bag.

S Adams,
Why in the world would you believe the same right wing media that lied to you about Iraq when it comes to the cause of the recent economic meltdown?

“Why should anyone strive to make a better life for themselves only to have a “robin hood” government that benefits those that don’t have the ambition to be successful”
We have a progressive tax system as it is.
Are you seriously arguing that people will stop working because their income above a certain level will be taxed 4% more?

“when you follow the paper trail, it led right to the source of the problem”
S Adams,
But you’re not following a paper trail.
You’re following the right wing script which conveniently leaves out the lack of regulation or oversight.
The only regulation you reference is the toothless bill McCain eventually cosponsored that would have created a redundant oversight agency with FEWER oversight powers.

Ryan C–just keep drinking the Kool-aid. You will believe Obama not matter what, even if he has no proven record to go by. You go ahead and believe Obama who has flip-flopped on every single issue, that he hasn’t lied time and again about every aspect of his life, that he has thrown numerous people under the bus, even his own grandmother for his political aspirations. Many top economist have looked at Obama’s economic plan and health plan and said it doesn’t add up. I tend to believe them over an inexperienced Chicago thug.
I’ve outlined what is wrong with Obama’s plans, and I get more info from legitimate sources, not Daily Kos or Huffington post.

Palin is so dumb she called New Hampshire part of the NorthWest.
Her undoing is her stupidity not her gender.

“Palin is so dumb she called New Hampshire part of the NorthWest.”
How about Biden saying during the last crash Roosevelt saw what was happening on TV although he wasn’t President and TV hadn’t been invented yet?
His undoing is his stupidity not his gender.

Negative. It is the state and local authorities’ responsibility and duty to foresee and prepare for natural disasters. FEMA is an afterthought to assist in cleanup/relocation/assistance (that part yes, was severely poorly managed).
