McCain: Obama Ad “Paid For With Broken Promises”

Tell it John. Also let’s discuss your decision to suspend campaigning when your polls dropped. You don’t talk about that gas tax reduction anymore do you? You wanted to campaign on foreign policy experience–can you still see Russia from her doorstep? I could go on but what about the economy being sound???

0bama promised to vote against and even filabuster to give Bush the power to spy on American citizens, at the heat of the democratic primaries in which he needed the support of moveon.com.
After he got his Affirmative Action nomination, he abandoned his promise, and voted to allow Bush’s government to spy on you, to listen into your private conversations, between Americans including phone conversations between those fighting in Iraq and their wives.
0bama is has again taken a piece of your Constitutional rights away.

It’s so sad that we the american people don’t expect people to keep their word. If Obama wasnt sure he would take it he shouldnt have said he would peice of paper or not your word is suppose to be your bond, and saying well that guy is lying to doesnt cut it for me you are the change guy and now all I can think of when I see Obama is another politican the sameones that have been running the country for years nothing new. So to you Obama I say
et tu Brute? I will wait for the day Obama says uhh I thought I would just have tax people making over 250,000 but now ehhhh got tax people making less than that. What I didnt sign a peice a paper I just gave you my word.

Common tactics from McCain and Company:
Falling behind in her reelection race, Sen. Elizabeth Dole has uncorked one hell of a charge: The Democrat running against me is godless.
The end of the ad features a picture of candidate Kay Hagan with a female voice yelling “there is no God!” — the clear implication is that the voice is Hagan’s. In fact, the Democratic candidate is a Sunday School teacher and an elder at her Presbyterian church.

Give me a break! They both lied! Whether is public financing or running a clean campaign. Mark and whomever else, you’re just mad because my liar is doing better than your liar! Stop crying like babies!

McCain isn’t a saint on campaign finance reform either.

Obama’s smartest move was to reach out to the grassroots of this country and drop public financing.
Can you imagine him trying to run against a the full-time non-stop Swiftboat politics of John McCain, Karl Rove and the disgraceful Repubs on just public financing?
McCAIN SOLD HIS SOUL AND HIS HONOR TO KARL ROVE.

“Can you imagine him trying to run against a the full-time non-stop Swiftboat politics of John McCain, Karl Rove and the disgraceful Repubs on just public financing?”
His ability to hit back and saturate the airwaves probably caused many 527s to shrink away.

I really can’t blame Obama for changing his mind. The last several elections have shown that the GOP and it’s rich cronies are no match for Democratic candidates’ public funding — and have resulted in accusations of buying the vote. Obama clearly realized this as his campaign progressed, and it worked well for him, for once: millions of grassroots supporters contributing what they can actually can beat the RNC machine!!!

I don’t really care about the broken promise, actually. I just think any politician running an infomercial is cheesy. If McCain ran one…also cheesy (..my friends, how about a little chat, just me and you…they do that at the conventions, I think it’s cheesy there, too…hey remember Kerry’s? “Reporting for duty!”..that was bad.)
Just my O-pin-yon!
Obama…please deliver us from this dark night! You can do it! Yes! The miracle age begins now!

“I really can’t blame Obama for changing his mind. The last several elections have shown that the GOP and it’s rich cronies are no match for Democratic candidates’ public funding — and have resulted in accusations of buying the vote.”
I couldn’t agree more; much better to simply steal the vote with the help of ACORN and fictional donors like me. Before you question whether stealing the election this way is OK, just remember the mantra: “Republicans are EEEEE-villl! So the end always justifies the means!”

Why doesn’t McCain just take responsibility for his campaign and its outcome? His choices=his responsiblity.

I disliked Obama’s last FISA vote a great deal and I am glad you are against FISA.
The problem for you as a McCain supporter is McCain’s support for FISA

Mr. That One,
For the record, McCain and Hillary Clinton both voted against FISA bill.
Your “honorable” senator the liar 0bama lied to his supporters and voted for the FISA bill.

McCain could have never done anything like this, even if he had foregone public financing.

I see you all have not lost your fight :
GOOD! Because we have a lot to do. You! (the American people) are going to have to take back control of your elected government at every level, and set your government back on the right path of service to you, and the greater good of the World.
Barack Obama and the democrats are your best hope of doing that now. Tell your family, friends, and everyone you know to support them as best they can. Because the Bush McCain vote fraud, vote cheating, vote buying, vote manipulation machine is already hard at work to cheat you again. And we all know what a disaster that has been the past 8 years of Bush McCain.
Barack Obama and the democrats will need all the power you can give them at every level of government (Federal, State, County, and local City elected governments). Obama and the democrats will have an enormous mess to fix for the American people, and the rest of the World. A mess caused by the corrupt Bush McCain administration.
You see, starting back in 2000, and before 911, it was mostly the Republican governors, Republican legislatures, and county elected Republican officials that conspired with the corrupt Bush McCain administration to raise college, and university tuitions by the fastest, and highest rate increases in American history. Some state tuitions went up by as much as a WHOPPING! 30% in one year.
The reason the Bush McCain administration did this was to force struggling working class kids into the military to pay for the sudden jump in tuition. Which was forced on them by the corrupt Bush McCain administration, and their corrupt Republican Governors, and republican controlled state legislatures.
See, Bush McCain had plans to get us into all these immoral, foolish, criminal, and unnecessary wars from the start. So they could use these wars to seize power, and later to get reelected. But, for their evil plan to work they needed more volunteer soldiers struggling to pay for an education whose blood they could spill to help them seize more power. Remember Bush McCain’s “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!” theatrics.
The exploitation, and lost lives of these finest Americans is despicable, disgusting, immoral, corrupt and criminal. And it makes me SICK, and ANGRY!
You will have to vote for Obama, and the democrats in overwhelming numbers to overcome the Bush McCain vote fraud machine. Vote early if you can. Then help your fellow Americans cast their votes now, and on through election day. Vote for Obama, and the democrats like your life, and the lives of your loved ones depends on it. Because it does. You will not survive 4 more years of “Let Them Eat Cake” Bush McCain, and their republican allies.
Just look at the mess we have now.
You can fix this mess with your votes for Obama, and the democrats. And REMEMBER, no matter which of us may stumble or fall, the rest of you must continue to surge forward for Barack Obama, and the democrats, and for your-selves most of all. The children, and the World are counting on us.
It’s in your hands now. And I know you will get it done.
God bless all of you.
JACK SMITH – WORKING CLASS… :-)

Shame on John McCain! His campaign will go down as the nastiest most desperate attempt at demogoguery in our lifetimes.
People remember this Rove garbage and his evil mini-me Steve Schmidt has grown into a monster.
The American people are smarter now.
The GOP are a bunch of fools if they think they can fool us again.

Umm Is McCain a socailist…I mean why should all of Americans including me pay taxes to support his campaign ?
I choose to donate to Barack Obama…
But my taxes are also supporting McCain ??????

stop whining John. You will do the same, if the situation is reverse.
say it to Ashly Todd the Liar..

Eight years of tyrannical government, busted economy, immoral war and as far as I’m concerned, as long as it is legal, full steam ahead to keep another tyrant like McCain out of the White House. McCain has used the slimiest low life tricks and statements in his campaign, he raises no solutions but makes vague promises with no substance and life will be better without him barnstorming.

God bless all of you.

Mr. jacksmith, the class war warrior:
I only suggest that you change “God bless all of you” to May Karl Marx bless you.

McCain’s economic adviser makes Obama’s case for him and against McCain’s bogus 5000 dollar tax credit as his health care plan.
Younger, healthier workers likely wouldn’t abandon their company-sponsored plans, said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, McCain’s senior economic policy adviser.
•-> “Why would they leave?” said Holtz-Eakin. “What they are getting from their employer is way better than what they could get with the credit.”

Hey skinny, I think McCain voted for that also……or was that one of the hundreds of votes he’s missed in his career?

It’s a pity if this is how much you know of 0bama, based on which you support him.
Who said 0bama was wrong in describing you people as the poor, less-educated who only knows clinging to guns and Gods? If you think it is perfectly OK to take your constitutional right away, I understand why you support 0bama.

skinny dog
McCain did not vote against that FISA bill. He was one of only 2 Senators who didn’t even show up.

Whine whine whine, all McCain ever does is whine about Obama. What a leader he would be. Waaa waaa waa.

Republicans complaining about lop-sided campaign spending. The hypocracy is priceless.
I’ll grab you nancies some tissues.

Mr. Ryan C (That One),
Ask yourself and fellow 0bama supporters, honestly, would you have supported 0bama in the primaries if he had told you the truth that he will vote for the FISA bill to give the power to Bush’s government to spy on you, to take your constitutional right away from you.
If you honestly say, yes, despite the fact that he will vote for violating the Constitution, you would have still supported him as your candidate in the primaries, I understand, and good luck to you all.

Bingo. McCain is right. Obama is a serial liar.

Obama is financed by the public… He just didnt take the government cap!
Tears from McCain because he has no message no hope and no idea..His running mates a joke..He is out of touch and thank god almost out of time!
McCain’s smears and dirty games will haunt him for the rest of his life!
Plin is to stupid to care she’s already plainning for 2012 LOL.
Which one of these to people would you like your kid to be like?
Obama 08

apparently there is no enforceable law that requires a candidate to adhere to source of funding. so what is the beef? it is not illegal, it is not unethical. mccain had the opportunity to do the same thing but chose not to for his own reasons. so, thinking private funding was also available to mccain. no law was broken, nothing unethical, no abuse of any powers. looks like just sour grapes on the part of mccain and just another negative attack. registered republican here.

WHY ARE John McCain’s tax cuts for the wealthy better than George Bush’s?
No one here can answer that question because frankly McCain never talks about economics, much less the middle class.
Enough with the name calling already.
Your scars are no reason to vote for you. Your running mate never spend a minute thinking about national or international issues before you picked her.

Whem will John McCain catch up in the polls with Sara Palin?
When will Sara release her medical records?

Sharonkathleen – People shouldn’t vote for a candidate based on their campaign – they should vote for the candidate based solely on their record BEFORE they began running for president. Running for president doesn’t qualify someone to BE president. A campaign is nothing but glossy speeches and campaign rhetoric. Hopefully, most people will do the smart thing and ignore everything that has been done and said during the campaign and cast their ballot based solely on record, history and accomplishments BEFORE these candidates began campaigning.

Obama wrote: “If I am the Democratic nominee, I will aggressively pursue an agreement with the Republican nominee to preserve a publicly financed general election.”
He didn’t.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
What in the world are you talking about Jake? The Obama campaign did in fact attempt to reach an agreement with the McCain campaign and were unable to do so.
The fact that you have decided to promote the McCain campaign version of what happened, given the fact that they haven’t stopped lying since the day he decided to run for President is laughable.
Why is that so difficult for the media to understand?
Senator Obama raised enough money to get his message directly to the American people without the filter of the biased press and in spite of the fountain of lies spouting daily from Fox news and all the right wing radio biggots.
I say job well done.
You all can keep whining about it for the next 4 years, because NEVER AGAIN will a Democratic candidate have to sit back and be smeared for lack of funds.
Get used to it.

Hey skinny dog, from the US Senate web site:
U.S. Senate Roll Call Votes 110th Congress – 2nd Session

Mr. JR,
Who is deceiving whom, now???

KyRock
Im glade he didnt take government controled public financing…
Had he Obama would have been a victim of the republican smear Machine…
This time Obama is backed by millions of Americans we pay his bill because we want change…
So cry whine and moan all you want..Obama will not be smeared…
Obama 08
Paid for in part by me!

If McCain could raise as much money as Obama he wouldn’t have taken public financing. Plus Obama needed the money to get his message across to voters, after all his name is Barack Obama.

Did John McCain give a ‘pledge’ to oppose the Bush tax cut for the wealthy?
“I cannot in good conscience support a tax cut in which so many of the benefits go to the most fortunate among us at the expense of middle-class Americans who need tax relief.”–John McCain, May 2001
WAS JOHN MCCAIN A SOCIALIST THEN?

John McCain’s Conscience – Why are McCain’s proposed cuts better then Bush’s??? Are you serious? Ummmm, McCain has called for an extension of Bush’s tax cuts – you know the one that lowered the tax rate across the board for ALL Americans (to the lowest level since 1991) – including the lower 40 percent of wage earners who became exempt from paying taxes under Bush. McCain is calling for additional cuts, credits and exemptions ACROSS THE BOARD – not just for the wealthy.

Yet another broken campaign promise from the Messiah. Need I say more.

How many U.S. flags do you suppose Obama will have behind him tonight? I know it won’t include the one Ayers was stomping on a few years ago when Obama didn’t know he had such anti-American feelings. “Guilty as hell, free as a bird, ain’t America great.” Ain’t it though.

McCain wouldn’t be complaining if he was the one with enough money to do this. The argument about public financing would maybe have made more sense back in June when it actually came up. To bring it up now just sounds petty, like nothing more than sour grapes because McCain HAD to take public financing because he would’ve had even less money without it. Obama never actually committed himself to foregoing public financing. I think his battle with Hillary, and some perspective on what the Republicans would try to throw at him, plus the extra climb he knew he had as an African American, and I think he made the choice he knew he needed to make. Kudos to him for running the best and more organized campaign anyone has seen in decades. Oh, and for not jumping in the mud with McCain when McCain broke his own promise to run a respectful campaign, and to “not take the low road to the highest office”. In the scheme of things, the latter broken promise is far worse.

As Obama says, McCain spends all his time talking about Obama and not talking about what he will do for the country. Obama clearly has gotten under the GOP’s skin.

It shocks me that the American public has fallen for the tag line Change – we can’t afford 4 more years of this. I’m all for change….the only problem is that Obama hasn’t bothered to tell me HOW he’s going to change it. Oh, wait, yes he did….he’s going to punish people who work hard and make money by taking that money and distributing it to the people who are sitting around collecting money already from all of our gov’t programs. Now there’s motivation to get people working. I don’t owe them a chance to find opportunity, you have to make your own. I’m sorry but making $250,000 (which I’m no where near making) in this day in age hardly categorizes you as rich. And for those of you who think the gov’t running your health plan is a good idea, can you tell me one program that the government (regardless of who it’s run by) has done successfully??? We need a whole lot LESS government. It’s not the gov’ts responsiblity to take care of you….take care of yourself and stop looking for handouts!

Barack Obama is a leader that will turn this country around. I can’t wait and will listen to every word. Paid for by we the voting supporters who on average sent Obama 87 dollars each for his campaign and so we could watch this. I am so proud to be an Obama suporter!!!

Dear McCain, take some personal responsibility for your sorry campaign.

McCain has not accused Obama of “being” a terrorist. I think Powell and some of Obama’s supporters are just assuming that because Ayers was a terrorist who Obama was friends with that makes Obama a terrorist in people’s minds if it is proven to be true. Not quite the extent to which I’d go. All McCain said was that Obama hasn’t been candid about his relationship with Ayers. The obvious conclusion is that Obama is far too liberal (perhaps radical) for most of us just by looking at the people he associates with. It would be less easy to think that if Obama didn’t have so many radical associations.

John McCain is complaining about broken promises? He has broken larger and more important promises (like to run a clean campaign). His campaign is paid for by taxpayers, many not voting for him. Barack Obama is running a good campaign funded by millions of supporters, like me, who were only able to give $25 (actually I donated twice). I’m glad Obama opted out. If you like McCain you can say “at least I didn’t pay for his campaign.” I wish I could say the same about McCain’s. But breaking the “clean campaign” promise turned me off immediately. Still McCain and Palin are obsessed with who Obama associated with on the faculty of universities he taught at. I work at a university and alot of the faculty have different opinions, that’s what makes it a university. What you’re selling McCain, America aint buyin’.

I never thought a whiner could be so entertaining.

And John McCain promised to run a clean campaign. Did he? I don’t think so.

McCain can’t even run his campaign’s finances, how is he going to fix the Nation’s economy! Anybody who votes for him either doesn’t care about the nation or needs to have their heads checked.

There is no doubt in my mind…that John “Songbird” McCain talked like a parrot in Hanoi Hilton

Good judgement by Obama. McCain was hoping that he could trap Obama into the public funding limits, while he would freely “work around” it and get his ads through RNC and 527 groups. McCain did raise the limits during the campaign using such loopholes. All of McCain’s promises look “honorable” on the face, but with enough room for “backdoor work arounds” favorable to him.

EndOfDayz
Well put! I agree 1000000000000%!!!

barrydapr
SOUNDS LIKE A NEWS STORY YOU’D FIND ON DRUDGE AND FOX NEWS!

Are all you Obama supporters really that blind? He has broken promises and has been friends with a number of radical people (not just one or two). If I hung out with a gang of thieves then 90% of people would assume I was one as well. Right? We don’t need someone who even hangs around with radicals representing our country to the world.

I know that erractic idiot is not calling me and the millions who either donanted directly or through fund raisers a broken promise. No problem, but on promise I won’t break, and that is to see to it that Sen. Barack Obama is elected President of the United States. That is once promise I won’t break. Singed: Try to keep my promise.

LMAO@barrydapretender
HAHAHAHAHA, THAT WAS TOO FUNNY..AND TRUE ;-)

John McCain has been jealous of Barack Obama since DAY ONE!

If you don’t think power corrupts take a good look at John McCain. He is physically addicted to it. Most men his age would be satisfied with a 26 year career in the senate. But no, not “that one”.
He wants power so badly that getting it justifies any and all means to that end.
McCain dodders around telling whatever lies they give him to mouth, no matter how foul. He spouts fear, incites ethnic and racial hatred at every opportunity. Today he said that Obama was preempting the World Series.
It doesn’t matter that people are worried and fearful enough that they will be unable to pay their bills and feed their family.
McCain offers no real help to these people.
His concern is for the people who have corrupted him, Oil company executives, Banking and Insurance company C.E.O.s and now Military Arms Manufacturers.
“power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely”
Don’t let “That One” get absolute power.

I AM JUST CURIOUS, DOES ANYONE AGREE THAT THE LOGICAL RESPONSE TO THE TAPE WOULD BE IF INNOCENT OF SAYING ANYTHING CONTROVERSIAL YOU WOULD SHOW THE PEOPLE AND PROVE IT IF THE ACCUSATION WAS WRONG?

kyrock,
An honest man’s word is as good as his bond.”
– Miguel de Cervantes
YEAH JOHN MCCAIN HAS BEEN DISHONEST!
Rep. Chris Shays of Connecticut’s 4th district Repbulican:
“He has lost his brand as a maverick; he did not live up to his pledge to fight a clean campaign,” Shays said.
OBAMA 08

I’m proud that my mother, my husband, my sister in law and I, along with so many others helped fund Obama’s campaign.
The only reason McCain cries foul is because for once the Republicans can’t outspend the Democrats. Boo-frickin-hoo!

Wakeupamerica: I refuse to argue with hypocrites or conspiracy theorists (far reaching Republicans up to same ol’ same ol’).
I am tired of the fear tactics and lies and so are most Americans.
I look forward to American waking up on November 5th to President Obama. It’s the dawn of a new day and will be a proud day – it will be promise and hope for a better America.
The last time I felt that way was several years ago.

Once again, McCain doesn’t tell voters why he should be president.
All he can do is attack his opponent by dwelling on non-issues or spreading lies.
It’s very sad so see what John McCain has become.

McCain is a man of the PAST who got stuck with dogmas of American greatness and think USA can dictate to the rest of the world what to do. Its an arrogant position that brought humiliation to US foreign policy. McCain showed poor judgement by choosing Pailin, she is FALSE and incompetent. USA will not recover under his leadership.

TRUTH79
THE TEXT OF THE TAPE HAS BEEN PUBLISHED!
OBAMA IS A FRIEND OF THE JEWS AND NO ONE IS BUYING YOURS AND MCCAINS BS!

- JOHN McCAIN YOU PROMISED TO RUN A RESPECTFUL CAMPAIGN. (That never happened)
- JOHN McCAIN YOU ALSO PROMISED THAT YOU WOULD NOT SUPPORT BUSH’S TAX POLICY, WHICH YOU ONCE WITH YOUR OWN MOUTH, “”I cannot in good conscience support a tax cut in which so many of the benefits go to the most fortunate among us, at the expense of middle class Americans who most need tax relief.”

Gee – “agressively pursue” is NOT exactly promising anything. In plain English, Obama said he’d consider using public money if the other candidate did. He apparantly decided against it.
That is certainly no breach of promise – just something that gets under McCain’s skin.

oldenough2nobetter. id say you are 5 right. “W” has been his name for years. oh, you are a republican right. enough said.

What about John McCain’s promise to run a clean campaign? Since then, he’s run the dirtiest campaign in modern American history (and that’s saying something after some of the crap the Bush/Rove team pulled). When he was questioned about this broken promise in one of the debates he blamed it on Obama, saying that if he’d agreed to McCain’s suggestion to do a bunch of town hall debates he’d have behaved less ugly during the campaign. Does this make any sense? So much for being an “honorable” “maverick”… More like a desperate sell-out.

I am getting so hopeful that many Americans are rising above the hate and lies coming from McCain and his slimy sidekick Palin and their morally ruined party. I am so glad to know that we are behaving like Americans and doing what we’ve always done.. using our brains and our inner fighting spirits and rising above the fray of madness called the Republican brainwashing machine, and deciding what is right for our Country and standing up for it once and for all. No McCain you CAN’T HAVE THE REMOTE CONTROL!!!

Fox News. hahahahahahahahaha

Jen, watch out. you dont want mcshame or palin go get all “Mavericky” on you.

Barrack Obama wishes to mirror US governmental policies to that of Francois Mitterrand. France still reeling from failed Mitterrand economic and social policies ushered in sweeping reform by electing Sarkozy one of the most conservative politicians in France’s history. Obama’s implementation of Mitterrand style economic control policies will wreak havoc on a US free market economy. This socialist form government has failed in every country that tried to implement it. Theoretically it should function for small and mid size countries the size of Cuba or France. Large countries like the former USSR and China do not bode well with this form of gov’t. so it takes the form of the more radical form or communism. This central gov’t relies on and depletes its satellite members of their resources to the benefit of the central party. Democrats in Congress are now entertaining the idea of capturing individuals 401k plans placing in a social security account. They want to transfer amounts at August levels before the market meltdown to try to gain support. Everyone would draw from the social security account. This effort will no doubt be supported by Obama as an excellent solution to spreading the wealth.

I don’t understand this intense desire from Republicans, that politicians MUST use our hard earned tax money to pay for their election campaigns. I really don’t. The money could be much better used than on elections!
America is in a recession and YOU WANT politicians to use your hard-earned taxes to fund their campaigns?????
No wonder America is in a recession!!
The Republican government tosses money around like a salad. A dash of Iraq here, a dose of electioneering there.

It’s amazing how many people are making Biblical references about Messiah and the end of days, etc. etc. regarding the Obama presidency. Might I suggest you read your bible – the Book of Revelation in particular before you start ascribing these biblical references to Obama. He is NOT Messiah or some prophet or heavens forbid the 2nd coming of Christ or whatever else people are saying. He is a man, a flawed one at that with skeletons in his closest like everyone else. But honestly, I think he would do a better job at running this country than anything we’ve seen in the past 8 years! John McCain is not even an option because of his poor health history and Sarah Palin’s appalling lack of experience. Seems to me that Barack is the right and only choice.

MCCAIN WISHED HE COULD HAVE BEEN ON TV TONIGHT LAYING HIS PLAN FOR OUR COUNTRY INSTEAD OF TRYING TO FIND MORE WAYS TO SLANDER SENATOR OBAMA

Obama BABY !!!!!!

Also Khalidi was a major contributor to the G W Bush campaign in 2000. So if obama is a terrorist so is Bush!!

Did you see the report of the 15 year old in lansing MI getting a voter registration card? The potential for fraud is very common.

Obama you are a deceitful fool.

This video was the best thing i have ever seen.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
however it was paid for this was brilliant

I am sickened by John McCain and his underhanded dirty tactic’s in this attack campaign that he is running. All’s I hear in his ad’s are how bad Obama is and everything he say’s is negative. Well I don’t want to vote for someone who won’t say what they will do for me and only talk’s negative. I want someone in office that has a positive message, and after seeing Obama’s half hour ad today, I’m convinced that he’s the man for the job.

Joe Biden said yesterday that 150K is where the tax increases are going to start. Couldn’t they at least wait until after the election to start changing their stories?

I just finished watching Senator Obama’s speach-If I hadn’t already voted early for him, I would vote for him tomorrow!! What a wonderful speach! I liked watching him in parts of his previous speaches, he always sticks with what he will do or want to do for our country–McCain/Palin only speak bad things about Obama–I have not heard Palin say one think about what she and McCain will do for the economy/health care/education, etc. Always running Obama down–yet, Obama/Biden could really come back at them with the history of both McCain/Palin! What a team–McCain, an angy old man and Palin, what can I say, she is so far out of her league it isn’t funny!

I am righ there with Paul from Texas, after toiling with many emotions, I realized a few days ago that I could not bring myself to vote for the democratic nominee for the first time ever. As a Democrat, or what I thought a Democrat was prior the primary season, I cannot vote for a Republican. So, I will be writing in the person who would make the best president, knowing that my vote is simply a protest but is also best for my conscience.
Why has it take so long for the media to self-reflect on their bias? So disappointing…

By change and hope he means:
Higher payroll taxes
Higher capital gains taxes
Nationalized healthcare
Nationalizing your 401k
Billions more to Africa for “relief”
25% cuts in defense spending
What exactly am I supposed to be hopeful about here? These are Obama’s REAL policies. When you talk out all of the rhetoric it starts to stink.

OBAMA WAS GREAT!!!
GO PHILS!!!!

THIS IS AMERICA PEOPLE!!! the land that was built off 300 years of slavery…show me a honest politician and i’ll show you a liar, John McCain please don’t be mad at the player because he’s better at the game than you. Are founding fathers made these rules it’s a shame you never learned them.

What about McCain’s decision to withdraw from public funding in the primaries after he agreed to take it?
Or did that DNC suit and FEC investigation slip his mind?

This isn’t about what party “wins” the game. It is about keeping our country from turning into Venezuala or Cuba.
Democrats will clearly retain control of both houses of congress. Let’s not put a Marxist in the Presidency to really screw it up.

Despite numerous articles lauding Obama’s record fundraising the media rarely mentions the “broken promise.” Now that McCain is bringing it up the same media will probably slam him for negative campaigning.

A 30-minute infomercial focused on real Americans, our needs, values, concerns, and worries, and what Sen. Obama wants to do to help us!! No name-calling, no dirty tricks, no childish smears and soundbites, no bigotry or hate. Just an optimistic, positive view of America and Americans. Vote Obama 08, and help us get our pride, economy, security, and world standing back!!!

Ed Rollins said on Lou Dobbs he was a member of the group with McCain (McCain gave over $800,000) that supported Khalidi and this was a bunch of nonsense. Ed Rollins former head of GHW Bush campaign, part of both Reagan elections, and head of Mike Huckabee’s campaign. Looks like we are finding more terror suspects! Bunch of baloney!

I am voting for Barack Obama, now that I have watched the 30-minute Barack Obama ad (I also recorded it on DVD, so that I can watch it a year, two years, or many years from now). And when November 4, 2008 arrives, I will sit back and enjoy watching the scenes of the hotel room of the GOP, as the McCain supporters and other Republicans in the room — including morons like Tucker Bounds — sit in stunned silence and disbelief, watching their TVs and HDTVs, wondering where they went so horribly wrong.
Even Sarah Palin doesn’t really seem committed to this campaign and is distancing herself away from McCain…she’s now launching her campaign for 2012.
I also hope that Obama wins 489 Electoral Votes, just like Reagan did in 1980 when he defeated Jimmy Carter for the presidency. Sure, Obama has enough Electoral Votes to clinch the presidency, BUT THAT IS NOT ENOUGH.
And finally, for all you people voting for McCain (and you know who you are), just remember this: A recession is when your neighbor loses his job, a depression is when you lose yours…and on January 20, 2009, a recovery is when Barack Obama gets his as the 44th President of the United States of America. And redemption? That’s when Barack Obama is reelected in 2012.
Obama/Biden 2008-2016

Obama is biggest flip flop politician ever seen in my life……..
Obama wrote: “If I am the Democratic nominee, I will aggressively pursue an agreement with the Republican nominee to preserve a publicly financed general election.”……He didn’t…..”Senator Obama signed a piece of paper committing to public financing of his campaign if I did,” McCain said. “Twice he looked the American people in the eye and said he would sit down with me before he abandoned public financing. He didn’t mean a word of it.”…..Obama will do anything to be elected. He is so dangerous to our country, connecting and developed as socialistic plitician, aand socialistic mind when he was growing up, plus connecting with Ayers, and PLO(terrorist).

And McCain promised to run a clean campaign, free of smears, lies, and dirty tricks!! Call it Karma.

Obama is a great speaker but he is a Marxist. Redistribution of wealth by race? You can’t get more Marxists than that. Now the LA times is hiding his relationship with the Palestinian leader? The more we learn the more terrifying Obama becomes.

I thought John McCain was a war hero. Are war heroes supposed to whine like little girls?

Chad,
Off if the top of my head – 3 reasons why Obama is the logical choice.
1. He prefers diplomacy over war – McCain prefers war. When we decided to “punish” North Korea by not talking to them because they are communists, they suffered by building a nuclear program. I bet if we were talking to them, we could have possibly talked them out of building a nuclear program.
2. Obama picked a VP running mate who complements his deficiencies. Since no one person can know everything, surround yourself with people who know what you don’t. McCain – primarily picked Sarah Palin to win votes with the conservative Christians. By the way, I’m a bible-reading, church going Christian and my bible does not preach divise, polarizing rhetoric. Country First, I think not!
3. Obama’s philosophy is geared towards helping everyone, not just a few. While I am as entreprenuerial as the next person, it’s not about what I can get for myself and then forget everyone else. When I can afford to help someone less fortunate than me, I do. It’s not all about YOU. If that’s socialism, well then let me just get in the front of the line.
Now I can go on and on listing why Obama is the right choice, but I think next Tuesday, the rest of America will list their reasons as well.

Could McCain be more crabby. Wth, act like a leader, not a pundit.

McCain, it was paid for with donations from normal people you silly old man.

The McCains are rich because Cindy’s father John Hensley, a convicted felon, was given a beer distributors license which was prohibited by law.
So, I guess we’re even.

AppeaseThis McCain is whining just like all of the right wing nut cases. It’s kind of sad to watch an old man lose the last of his dignity.

WRONG AGAIN, John McCain.
The Obama spot was paid for by Americans who want to see an end to the Bush years.

McCain wasted all his money on misleading attack ads.

I see a lot of Obama haters here. I watched the whole infomercial and loved it! Awesome man! McCain needs to retire!

It was clear that McCain back in June stated he will run a ‘straight campaign’ focusing on the issues and with no smears and attacks what so ever. Everyone clearly remembers this at the time, for it was aired by all the news sites, networks, etc.
Yet he clearly had majorly backtracked in the past month. McCain and his camp clearly has stated at the beginning of October that if he focuses on the economy, he will loose the election. And guess what, he kept attacking without bothering to focus on the issues, especially the primary issue Americans want to hear – the economy.
So McCain and Palin are calling the kettle black when they want to focus on Obama’s ‘ethics’. What is so ethical about using smears and fears to scare the public by distorting the truth? They say it’s not negative? Excuse me, but it’s clear to anyone with a brian that their ads *are* negative, and polls clearly indicated a great percentage of people are turned off by McCain’s negative campaigning.
So in the end, instead of focusing on the issue, McCain is always on the ‘attack, attack, attack.’ Sounds like a desperate man to me, for if Obama was desperate, why is Obama focusing on the issues most of the time and McCain is not?
Yep, I, for one, is now convinced this Prez election year is where I’ve seen the most sleeziest, dirtiest, smearful, hateful, untruthful campaigns ever run by a candidate since I started voting in 1989. McCain sicks me to no end, and I will not ever trust him no matter what in the future.

Sounds like sour grapes from McCain. The one thing I liked about it is there was not any negativity towards the other party. With Palin and McCain spewing negative attacks this was a breath of fresh air. I am still undecided but leaning towards Obama. I didnt realize that he is just an everage family man such as myslef and he didnt have it any easier than a lot of us. Kudos to him for keeping it positive!

JYD…your color is showing.

To all of you race baiting McCain wonks, listen up:
Tonight, Senator Obama sealed the deal. He beat the Republicans and McCain at their own game and it is gnawing at them. Four years ago, the 527′s and other “Pro-American Groups” turned a hero into a goat. Obama wasn’t going to let that happen again. He knew he couldn’t trust the Karl Rove proteges to keep their word on the 527s. So he didn’t ask them to. Instead, he has been taking it to them in the same way they took it to John Kerry four years ago! And they don’t like it one bit!!
Way to go Senator Obama!!!

One more week and this circus of a campaign will be over. Thank God!

The headline here should be -
“McCain: Obama add paid for with broken promises, fading rainbows, soggy pop-tarts and the tears of unicorns!”
Sorry, sorry – I just couldn’t help myself. It’s all becoming pretty absurd, ya know?

I am so glad I voted early today. The lines were long, but I’m sure they will be longer tomorrow and especially on Tuesday Nov 4, because of the wonderful message Obama had on television tonight.
It made me proud that I voted for Obama this afternoon.
OBAMA ’08

We need to select our ballot choice based on facts and integrity. Unfortunately the media circus is making the choice for us. ABC, CBS, and CNN are liberal Democrats who will not tell the truth about Obama (Includes the hidden video held by the L.A. Times). FOX is the conservative Republican. All networks should not be permitted to endorse a candidate, but should report the truth. Let us see the real background, the real policy ideals or each candidate. Truth be known, Obama has no chance, but the truth is hidden, he dances around the answers and issues. He will probably be elected; so start saying goodbye to your 401K, guns, earnings, freedom, etc. This man is a horrid choice, not that McCain is perfect (far from it), but research and make an educated vote, not a vote based on good speaking skills or color.

1. Where’s all the money come from?
2. If he breaks his promise this time who guarantees that he won’t break promise next time. He lost my trust.

NObama is a liar, plain and simple. If he wins (i.e. buys) this election, it will be a tragedy for this country.
Mr. McCain, please keep fighting. There are many in this country that want to see you elected!

There needs to be a serious vetting against those donors. But it may be too little too late. It”s not hard to fathom that illegal donations by FOREIGNERS are made through these prepaid cards. Even Bill Clinton had to refuse questionable donations linked to Chinese sources. Obama is just looking the other way. It”s always about the money. He has 400 paid staff JUST in Pennsylvania. PAID staff, not volunteers!
McCain should be jealous for sure but to lose because of cheating smells rotten.
Well, if Obama wins he will achieve another first-THE FIRST CANDIDATE TO BUY THIS PRESIDENCY.

The liberal news media says Obama has already won this election. I guess we are all going to pay more taxes.
Change is coming. Obama is going to redistribute the wealth. Socialism is coming.
I just hope he doesn’t put out small business into bankruptcy.

Mimi in Ohio – Forgive me, but what in the world have you been smoking? Do you think for yourself? You sound programed. Like all contracts read the fine print. It may take some time but you will find that what you have written is dillusional. Obama has lied as this article state. He betrayed his promise. Most economist don’t trust his economic plan and the stock market is indicative of that. Also, name me three significant this that Obama has accomplished. War, as distastful as it is, is sometimes necessry. We wouldn’t be free today if we were not a strong nation. Not everyone has all the answers is true but is that why, now consider the true documented facts. Obama as surrounded himself with crooks and terrorists. Men who have taken our country for millions. I could go on. Lok at the facts

Dear all: Yes, Obama said $200,000 when he had third bebate with McCain too, he changed from $250,000 to $200,000. I do not trust Obama for the penny. He is flip flop politician, worse kind.

Obviously Sen. John McCain is not as eloquent, but he is a million times more sincere. Do not be fooled America. Dont just jump on the “Barack Bandwagon” full of empty promises.
Posted by: PhillyPaul
**************************
Sen. John McCain may be somewhat sincere to a
point, but this one of millions of points that have
to be taken in picking a President.
McCain lacks the ability to communicate to people.
He is unable to focus on a solution to a problem,
but, finds negative faults with other people veiws,
leave very little time to talk about his proposals.

Obama has all this excess of money because Oprah’s backing him financially. Its known that if Obama gets elected, she would only have to pay $18 million in taxes a year. If he doesn’t, she would have to pay much more than that. This is a crooked society we live in folks. Obama has Oprah in his back pocket. Oh well, another day in the life of Obama. We’ll find out what he’s really made of if there are enough gullible people out there that would vote for him, even though the facts are clear about him having crooked friends and known to hang around with terrorist supporters. What does that tell you?

I can see many frustrated McCain fans here. I would be too if my team was so outclassed, outworked, out thought and outspent. Some day someone will write a book on “how to run a Falwless” campaign.
I am so glad so many McCain fans saw this and came here to comment on it. I do understand their frustration.

The LA Times should show voters the video tape. What is there to hide?

Dear all: Yes, Obama said $200,000 when he had third bebate with McCain too, he changed from $250,000 to $200,000. I do not trust Obama for the penny. He is flip flop politician, worse kind

Everybody is voting for Obama….you would have to be Mcsane to vote for John….its a wrap people….time to move in another direction, the right direction.
Congrats to the Democrats……
a tired republican.

Some things to know about McCain: He has crashed more planes than any other living Naval pilot who wasn’t flying experimental aircraft; He killed a man while driving recklessly in 1964; he was Rashid Khalidi’s Sr. Director of his board from 1993-1996; He has had multiple affairs; He frequently refers to Vietnamese using racial epithets, He was ACORN’s guest speaker at their national summit in 2006; He was 5th from the bottom if his class at the Naval Academy. These are FACTS and they are not in dispute.

OBAMA HAS NEVER BEEN INVESTIGATED FOR BEING UNETHICA, NEITHER HAS BEIDEN. Can you say the same about MACCAIN OR PALIN?

Obama supporters – Obama did say he would take public financing: Obama Supports Public Funding
Submitted by John Rauh on February 9, 2007 – 3:58pm.
Barack Obama made an announcement yesterday that could significantly change the course of the 2008 presidential elections. The Senator from Illinois has indicated that, should he win the Democratic primary battle, he would participate in the public funding system to finance his general election race if the Republican nominee followed suit. Obama has asked the FEC whether he can take money from donors who want him to be president, and then give it back later. This leaves open the possibility of using public funding.
Although there is an abundance of speculation surrounding Obama’s request, his long-standing support of public funding is clear. “Senator Obama has long been a proponent of public financing of campaigns, and we are asking the FEC to take a step that could preserve the public financing option for the parties’ nominees,” said Obama spokesperson Bill Burton.
Tapping into the public funding system would set-up a very different presidential campaign. Today the public financing limits are $150 million. Current speculation says that the major party nominees will likely raise and spend over $500 million if they take private money.
Mr. Obama’s lawyer, Robert Bauer, defended the decision: “Should both major party nominees elect to receive public funding, this would preserve the public financing system.”

Let’s see, first it was
Inexperience
then
Celebrity
then
Preacher
then
Hussein
then
Terrorist
then
Socialist
and next up
more of the same
blah blah blah
no one listens
nor does negativity resonate except on McCain.
Obama is a class act and unlike McCain understands the difference between long term strategy and tactics.
There is already RECORD TURNOUT for this HISTORIC event, VOTE EARLY. VOTE EARLY. VOTE EARLY!!!!!!

Obama spent alot of the donors money, but saved the tax payer 85 million dollars. Thats commendable. It would have been nice if McCain did the same.

The LA times are withholding a video of Obama, celebrating with a group of Palestinians who are openly hostile towards Israel. Obama even gives a toast to a former PLO operative at this celebration.

Get a grip Obama fans, he will destroy 50 years of civil rights advancements along with the american way of life.

Mike,Please enlighten us with your innuendoes, and
what advancements contradict Obamas philosophy.

John just mad he fell in his own trap….he knew that he couldn’t raise the money Obama did, so he suggested to stick to public financing, to limit Obama’s ability to campaign…..but Obama is not as dumb as you McCain…now you complaining…man. I hate a whiner….just go home McCain….you are an embarrassment to our Party!!!!

“Where did all Obama’s money come from???–CBS– ATKINSSON FOLLOW THE MONEY–
“Obama’s corporate donor list looks like a Who’s Who of the Wall Street collapse – except some have given more to Obama. Lots more.
“The Obama campaign has just vacuumed up the money in this cycle, specifically from Goldman Sachs, Obama has received over $740,000, as opposed to McCain’s $220,000,” Krumholz said.
Not to mention that the former head of Goldman Sachs, Robert Rubin, is Obama’s chief economic advisor – and two current executives are bundling for him (David Heller and Bruce Heyman). “Bundlers” are mega-fundraisers who, critics say, get special access.
Another big Obama bundler is Citicorp’s Michael Froman. Obama’s even tapped him to help put together his new administration.
Obama has tripled McCain’s haul from Lehman Brothers interests.
Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan Chase? More, more and lots more to Obama.”

Go back to Arizona, John. The people are speaking loud and clear. Obama.

People,people,people: How will people put faith in men? Only one man came on the earth,and showed us what he was going to do,when he rules the earth.Jesus cured the sick,blind,fed thousands with seven loaves of bread,and some little fishes. Vote for Jesus! and his father Jehovah God’s kingdom the only hope for mankind.:John17-3 Jesus said this means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ. The only true God thats mentioned here is Jehovah God read PSALMS 83-18. In some bibles Jehovah God’s name has been, removed and replaced with Lord.

McCain was tested, and he failed. His fellow POWs called him the Songbird.

John McCain is a whiner and is jealous of the Obama campaign success and his failure. Quit whining Mccain.

Let’s see…
JOHN keating-five-had-an-affair-with-a-lobbyist-called-his-wife-a(verybadword)-pals-around-with-lobbyists-backs-Bush-nearly-always-chose-Sarah-Palin-for-VP-has-run-a-filthy-campaign McCAIN is now crying because Obama has privately raised money instead of spending public dollars.
Wow.

SLAM DUNK FOR OBAMA!!!

Where did Obama get that kind of cash? CBS News investigative correspondent Sharyl Attkisson Follows the Money—
Early on, both Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain promised to limit their fundraising – but Obama reversed that pledge when he won his party’s nomination.
Now he ranks as the greatest political fundraiser of all time: More than $603 million, compared to $358 million for McCain.
Obama’s broken another record: he’s gotten more money than anyone in history from unidentified donors – with names like “Doodad,” who lists his employer as “Loving” and has given more than $17,000 dollars – way over federal limits.”

OBAMA HAS NEVER BEEN INVESTIGATED FOR BEING UNETHICAL, NEITHER HAS BEIDEN. Can you say the same about MACCAIN OR PALIN?
Posted by: Angelou |
*************************
Angelou, you need to get yourself educated in
political history.
McCain was investigated (by his peers) in the
“Keating 5″ scandal (he was one of the 5), but was
slapped on the wrist for misjudgment. (Now he wants to be president?) and Palin was just investigated for the troopergate scandal. So much
for ethics, huh?

“John just mad he fell in his own trap….he knew that he couldn’t raise the money Obama did, so he suggested to stick to public financing, to limit Obama’s ability to campaign…..but Obama is not as dumb as you McCain…now you complaining…”
it wasn’t a trap it was an obama LIE. how do you defend a liar? you agree with him. very sad that most americans supporting obama lack morals. clinton is a prime example, he cheated on his wife and people forgave him. wow.

From the LA Times, June 19, 2008: Given Barack Obama’s astronomical fundraising numbers, it was only a matter of time before he decided to eschew public funds to finance his campaign. From today’s Times:
Democrat Barack Obama today rejected public financing for his presidential campaign, changing an earlier stand and becoming the first major party candidate to drop out of the system since it began after the Watergate scandal….
Early in the primary season, Obama had said he would use public financing if his Republican opponent did. But that was before the presumptive Democratic nominee harnessed the Internet and became a fund-raising powerhouse.
This move not only makes Obama the first major candidate in more than 30 years to reject public funding (which forbids candidates from raising private funds), but also goes back on his very public indications he would agree to public funding. (See an earlier Times’ editorial admonishing Obama for waffling on his pledge.)

If McCain wants to call being tricked and outgunned as breaking a promise so be it. From the tax payers stand point he did not take a dime from the government and ran a phenomenal campaign. If runs the office of the president with the same efficiency and provides tax cuts and reduces the deficit. We will have one heck of a President in Barack Obama. If McCain feels like sour grapes too bad. The country has been good to him and Arizona has been very kind to him but I for one look forward to the election day results and to the election of Obama so that I can say thank god that McCain can get back to being a senator and Palin can get back to being a governor of Alaska.

McCain’s just JEALOUS that thousands of people like me sent Obama everything they could in August & September, in thanks for his honesty and integrity and in hopes that he could defeat the Republicans.

It’s almost over. Gramps, his wife Cruella and his girlfriend Failin will be gone. God bless America!

The change I am looking for is transparency. I am just hoping that the next president will foster an era of transparency so that we can begin to trust our leadership again.

Obviously facts don’t seem to matter, lack of a record doesn’t seem to matter, questionable associates doesn’t seem to matter, lack of integrity doesn’t seem to matter, financial policies that will ruin the country doesn’t seem to matter, running a dirty campaign doesn’t seem to matter so how do I decide who to vote for….. I know I will pick the one who talks real purty!!

I think everyone is just afraid to be happy…because no one ever truly felt they had the power to.

“John just mad he fell in his own trap….he knew that he couldn’t raise the money Obama did, so he suggested to stick to public financing, to limit Obama’s ability to campaign…..but Obama is not as dumb as you McCain…now you complaining…”
it wasn’t a trap it was an obama LIE. how do you defend a liar? you agree with him. very sad that most americans supporting obama lack morals. clinton is a prime example, he cheated on his wife and people forgave him. wow.
O yea, John left his first wife to get with money bags Cindy…..and Sarah
cheated on her husband with his best friend and has a daughter with a baby daddy, so lets not talk character issues….
Like I said, John is whiner and loser and ran a terrible campaign. He lied and said he would run a honorable campaign and its that honorable I don’t want any parts of hid dishonorable stuff! Geez. One pissed Republican!

That’s awesome info Scott G!!! Thanks for the post!

MightyMountain – there is no way I’d vote for McCain because he doesn’t ‘believe’ in abortion. It’s LEGAL in this country, and as president he won’t and can’t change that. Nobody LIKES abortion, but there are other issues, like the whole Republican playbook that we’ve had to live with for 8 years. How many American families will sit this Thanksgiving without their son or daughter – killed in Iraq for NOTHING – this year? Thanks, Bush, McCain. Those lives were JUST as important as any other.

Wow. Mighty Mountain. Please don’t be seriously angry Christian. Is the expectation that McCain will abolish abortion? Isn’t that the same expectation of the 2 Bush’s and Reagan? Relax. The reality is that there is more to that job of president, and rest assured a multitude of moral decisions to be made. I think both Christian candidates will do just fine, and hopefully we won’t all burn in hell

I think if John McCain would be a lot less cranky if Cindy would change his depends more frequently.

Some things to know about McCain: He has crashed more planes than any other living Naval pilot who wasn’t flying experimental aircraft; He killed a man while driving recklessly in 1964; he was Rashid Khalidi’s Sr. Director of his board from 1993-1996; He has had multiple affairs; He frequently refers to Vietnamese as ‘Gooks’, He was ACORN’s guest speaker at their national summit in 2006; He was 5th from the bottom if his class at the Naval Academy. He set the USS Forrestal on fire when he ‘wet-started’ his plane while trying to startle an F-4 Phantom pilot on the deck behind him. These are FACTS and they are not in dispute.

I’m sure McCain would have given anything to pull off something like that. Trouble is…he’s incapable (and jealous).
Let us remember that the money spent on these campaigns goes back into the economy. Well spent!
Go Obama!

I hope that for once, my vote counts. For the first time in American history, America has a real opportunity to send the world a beautiful message. American is a United Nation. Divided we fall, United We Stand.
Obama/Biden 2008

Yes, mccain’s flesh is eaten up off his bones with jealousy. Maybe all the more because mccain is now about to lose ARIZONA……surely it never seemed possible, but here is the feeble and lying mccain being judged by his own STATE OF ARIZONA and coming up woefully short. poor whining loser. It hurts, doesn’t it mccain? After all , you told your campaign workers in secret that all you had to do to win was beat a …….black. You were CERTAIN that Obama could never beat your GOP hardcore white supporters….but …..then …..EVEN THOSE FOLKS SWITCHED TO OBAMA. Mccain, and of course the ever irrelevant Palin….LOST MILLIONS OF SUPPORTERS BY BEING MEAN, HATEFUL, EXTREMIST, DEVISIVE, AND UNTRUTHFUL. thanks, mccain for picking palin. it showed us….your former supporters….what a huge mistake it would be to pick you.
go Obama—and GREAT 30 minute program tonight!!!

I am so sick of negative of message.
Economy is down, and is written into the modern history. stop all the negative information, and think about this worse economy ever.
“redistribution the wealth”, goverment has been a active role as “redistribution the wealth” since good old history.
before thowing the glass to someone, watch out if that glasses is going to been thrown to outslef.

Even McCain’s own party members are criticising him! Directly quoted from a REPUBLICAN congressman, Chris Shays:
“He has lost his brand as a maverick; he did not live up to his pledge to fight a clean campaign”
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/29/shays-mccain-cant-win-los_n_138963.html

All of this is inane – bottom line is the distraction that Obama doesn’t have the experience, so he does exactly what he accuses McCain of – misstating the facts. I believe that he wants (AND the DEMOCRATS want) the Presidency so bad, they are willing to do or say anything. If you’re stupid enough to not see that, I can see why you support him…looking for a handout. Make no mistake, Obama is willing to spend whatever it takes to get what he wants…think he’ll stop when he’s President?

I do not understand how “christian tolerance”, can condem others for supporting a woman’s right to chose. Just because someone supports that right, does not make them a “baby killer”, or unchristian. Faith is about acceptance and not division. I do havea problem with people who want to force their beliefs on everyone. If you chose not to support abortion, that is fine, but do not condemn another’s right to chose. Instead of spreading intollerance, if you think pro choice people are wrong, just pray for the serenity to accept the things you can not change and ask your “christian god” for the wisdom to know the difference. Choice is a human right. I believe that is any choice. Free will?

If McCain wants to call being tricked and outgunned as breaking a promise so be it.

No, John my friend, that ad was paid for with some of the $500 that I scraped together to send mr. Obama. Perhaps your inability to make a distinction between good, honest, and hard working Americans sending mr. Obama hard earned cash so he could beat you and that she-dog, oh, sorry, i meant pit-bull you call a vp candidate, is why you are about to get a good ass whipping!

Sadly, too many of us vote based on faith, blind faith, the kind that brought us Bush. The church and the state are being merged today together in one in America, thanks to the application of religious wedge issues of abortion and gay marriage. How sad that religion is being used by Republicans to divide us. Such arrogance and righteousness in support of people supposedly of the right moral fiber are at best misguided, and at worst, will lead to the destruction of our country, possibly of the world. When something as horrific as the war in Iraq can be justifies as doing God’s work, something is terribly wrong!! Dropping atomic bombs can be similarly justified. Misguided faith based directives are what led to medieval crusades, killing of millions of innocent people, and it is what led to Nazism. This is why there has to be separation of church and state. Ultimately, we have to base our vote on whether someone is fit to be a leader, and not simply because someone is staunchly pro life, anti gay marriage, etc. Come on, no one wants to kill babies, and no one wants our children to be gay. Just looked at what our vote did to this country after eight years, and we are going to do it again??? Wake up America!

Johnny Mac should quit politics after his failed attempt at the presidency, and go back to his Navy career. Then, he could eventually become Rear Admiral John McAnus, and proudly stand on the poop deck of his ship.

I hope that for once, my vote counts. My aunt is 81 and Obama’s grandmother is 86. I would like them to live long enough to see the first African American elected as president of the US. For the first time in American history, America has a real opportunity to send the world a beautiful message. American “is truely” a United Nation. Divided we fall, United We Stand.

Which change are you Obama supporters rooting for?
Higher payroll taxes
Higher capital gains taxes
Nationalized healthcare ala Cuba
Nationalized retirement (no more 401k)
25% cut in defense spending
Honestly, I can’t see which one of these is going to make anyone better off.

It is amazing how you can tell the people who pretend to be Democrats who all of a sudden can’t support Obama. Are people so simple that they really think juvenile tricks will change a true supporters mind so easily? What a waste of time and effort. Has the Republican Party always been such a bunch of whinners and sore losers? Our young people are watching this political contest perhaps closer than anything they have ever watched in their entire lives. Yet, we (America), have a party run by adults who are stuck doing the same tricks as countries who are run by dictators and suppressors. Leaders that divide, engage in war, hate and oppression. McCain is destroying his own legacy because the way he has conducted himself in this campaign unfortunately is how he will be remembered. The sad thing is he doesn’t have a lot of time to redeem his reputation, and eventually all the stories of the infighting within his campaign will begin to show up in some insiders upcoming book. I feel a little sad for McCain.

Obama/Biden 2008. Let’s see what will happen Tuesday.

Republican Christians should know by now it’s been over 30 years and more Republicans than Democrats have been president. until 2006, the house, senate…Supreme court Justice were Republican held for yearsssss. Why is it that Roe Vs Wade wasn’t changed?
Republicans are very Pharisaic in looking down on Christians who vote Democrat. Most people, especialy Democrats are against abortion.
Pro choice is something all of us were given. Cindy McCain and Laura Bush are on record saying they didn’t want Roe vs Wade reversed. That is no different from Obama being Pro-Choice and not being Pro-Abortion. DON’T LET OTHER CHRISTIANS INTIMIDATE YOU WITH THAT, “Obama wants to kill babies!” If you have the Holy Ghost, you should be decerning enough to know that is not true.
And remember, McCain (who we must pray for), called Christians an “EVIL INFLUENCE” when he was trying to run a few years ago. It was only a couple of years ago, when he was planning for this run, that he tried to make amends. REMEMBER JAMES DOBSON – FOCUS ON THE FAMILY- specifically stated he wouldn’t vote for him! McCain is the same McCain. He hasn’t changed.
The Republican Christians just have to use Palin as a reason for voting for the NAME REPUBLICAN. Too many of them think REPUBLICAN makes them more dedicated to God’s word than those who vote Democrat.
Palin drop lies (along with McCain) like running water. She has a controling spirit and has allowed position to make her someone
she didn’t have to become…
Another Republican is going to take us farther down the hold. We need a change.
After being critized, even McCain had to say…Obama is a Decent Family Man and You should Not Fear Him If He was President….
We don’t have to Hate MCCain/Palin…just don’t vote for them..VOTE FOR OBAMA AND BIDEN…and tell those piestic Christians who think they are the epitome of “the Best Christians” Tell them to tell all those republicans who were caught in adultery-man with man situations that things like that is sinful also.

and you wonder why people say liberals are out of touch?

Since Obama has lied about financing his campaign, why should any of us believe he isn’t lying about cutting our taxes? Why should we believe anything this guy says at all? His entire life is shrouded in mystery, no birth certificate, no voting record other than “present,” a laundry list of questionable acquaintances: Ayers, Wright, Farrakhan, Khalidi just to name a few, and let’s not forget that he has flopped on almost every issue that has been brought up. I’m not a huge McCain fan, but I’d rather have McCain as president than to let the most liberal member of the Senate turn America into a socialist nation.

I can not believe the ignorance that I am reading. You are all like lambs being lead to the slaughter. Here is a direct quote by Mr. Obama in February 2007, “I proposed a novel way to preserve the strength of the public financing system in the 2008 election. My plan requires both major party candidates to agree on a fundraising truce, return excess money from donors, and stay within the public financing system for the general election. My proposal followed announcements by some presidential candidates that they would forgo public financing so they could raise unlimited funds in the general election. The Federal Election Commission ruled the proposal legal, and Senator John McCain (R-AZ) has already pledged to accept this fundraising pledge. If I am the Democratic nominee, I will aggressively pursue an agreement with the Republican nominee to preserve a publicly financed general election.”
There was a time that a persons word stood for something. If a man (or woman) looked you in the eye and said I will not do something, they didn’t do it. How are we suppose to teach our children that your word should mean something if our leaders don’t stand by their word.
With so many good caring organizations which are in need of your help, you choose to waste all this money that could have really made a difference in the life of a family that may have been left homeless by a natural disaster, a injured child, or an abandoned animal. What a waste of money, had he taken all this money and did something really special with it, I may have really respected him. Instead, I think he is just another self serving politition!

To understand the financial aspects of the smear campaign that Obama has been up against and a better understanding of why in light of this he elected to decline public funding for his election, read the article: Swiftboating: A New Low in Dirty Politics.
Campaigns of misinformation
Swiftboating has little to do with the truth. It’s a smear campaign waged on misinformation and allegations so damning the public is disinclined to give the target the benefit of the doubt. The significant money that goes into swiftboating campaigns is hidden as much as possible and used in unmistakably shifty ways. The group doing the swiftboating is usually a 527, a tax-exempt organization that can raise limitless amounts of soft money.
The next time you hear something negative about a candidate from a group you’ve never heard of, ask yourself who stands to gain from the attack? The next time you hear outlandish allegations popping up out of nowhere, check and see if a “Vets for Fill-in-the-Blank” group is involved. Since the success of Swiftboat Veterans for Truth, scores of similar groups have proliferated. But it doesn’t have to be a group; individual candidates are taking up the task of swiftboating their opponents themselves.

truth hunter – what was the $700 billion – a non-soclialist program?

Have you lost a loved one over there in the past 6 years?

Some things to know about McCain: He has crashed more planes than any other living Naval pilot who wasn’t flying experimental aircraft; He killed a man while driving recklessly in 1964; he was Rashid Khalidi’s Sr. Director of his board from 1993-1996; He has had multiple affairs; He frequently refers to Vietnamese as ‘Gooks’, He was ACORN’s guest speaker at their national summit in 2006; He was 5th from the bottom if his class at the Naval Academy. He set the USS Forrestal on fire when he ‘wet-started’ his plane while trying to startle an F-4 Phantom pilot on the deck behind him. These are FACTS and they are not in dispute.

Jake,
I thought you used simple, clear, to-the-point declarative sentences in your report. Perhaps you and I are the only two moderately erudite people around here, for it’s quite obvious that a majority of posters didn’t understand your clear verbiage (or didn’t actually read your report).
John McCain is correct in his assessment: Along with statements about his relationships with Ayers, Resko, and Farrakhan, Obama lied when he promised in writing to use the public financing system. As soon as it was clear that it would be to his advantage, he simply turned his back on public financing and walked away rather than honor his written pledge.
If this is the kind of “stalwart character” we can expect if Obama is elevated to the highest post in the land (and a really good look at his past indicates it is) we’re in for a rough four years. However, the real question is this: Why can’t this man’s supporters look at the actual record, compare what Obama was saying at this time last year to what he is saying now, and challenge him on the discrepancies? Separation of church and state apparently is out of vogue, as the only way I can explain any of this is to label it the way it looks: religious fervor. People don’t question the tenants of their religion, any more than they question this new messianic figure.
In any case, I for one thought you did a good job of reporting this honestly, as it does fly in the face of the usual obsequious manner in which Obama’s gaffs are reported by most of the media. It’s nice to see a political report that simply reports, rather than editorializing. Good Job!!

If your an Obama/Biden supporter..QUIT LURKING & SPEAK UP ! SPEAK YOUR MIND !
McCain/Palin = Bush/Cheney
Obama ’08 !!!

You can be pro-life and Christian, just as you can be gay and Christian…I happen to be gay, but nobody dies in my case.

Scott G,
Those are not facts and they certainly ARE disputed. Have you talked to anyone on that bird farm at the time of the fire? Better yet, have you seen the film of that event? John McCain was not in his plane when that fire started; in FACT if he HAD been in his plane he would have died that day. When that missile cooked off and went across the flight deck the plane that it hit, and obliterated, was one flown by John McCain!
The rest of your “facts” are no more substantial than your fairy tale about the start of the Forestall fire. If you want to be taken seriously you’d better start doing better research before you start to write. At present you have succeeded only in making yourself look the fool – especially to those of us who were in the sea services and know the truth of that tragic day.

I love when people recite the now WIDELY debunked explanation of the Forrestal. Remember – McCain’s dad was a high ranking Admiral and intervened in the findings; MANY of the brave sailors have spoken out against McCain’s ‘screwing around’ which led to his inadvertent drop of two missiles as the fire kicked up when he wet-started his plane (joking around with an F-4 pilot). Be intellectually honest and quit reciting the VERY debunked tale of the Forrestal. McCain was ABSOLUTELY responsible This is a FACT.

I have changed my mind about Obama. I almost believed his tax cut deal, but all he has done is raise taxes. At least McCain has always been for lower taxes.
Now, almost everyday, a new criminal terrorist, socialist or marxist was/is in Obama’s life.
Obama had his original birth certificate sealed – Why? Was he born in kenya?
Obama has his school records sealed – Why? Was he a foreign exchange student?
Obama has fought numerous law suits regarding his “natural-born” status – Why? Is he a citizen of Indonesia?
Too many questions, too few answers.

John McCain’s universal language -
Understood by people of every country on the planet, no translation required:
“Waa-aa-hh! WAAAaa-aaaHHH!!

For all you Obama Supporters! You are all brainwashed by the mainstream media! Get educated! He has stolen the election! ACORN ACORN & ACORN…. He also does not keep his word. If he wins this election and it’s looking that way, this country is going to change, but in the wrong direction, a direction you REALLY may not want to go! For our children and grandchildren’s sake vote McCain! Obama is an unknown with corruptive associations and no proof of accomplishing really anyting.

I tried to post information refuting these accusations but it was blocked as “spam.” I don’t know why.

Wink..Wink…
All McCain supporters do is whine and complain that Obama could do the ads.
McCain could also have done it, had he chosen not to buy expensive wardrobe for Palin.
Shame on McCain campaign! Go, crying to Fux news!

Kyrock,
Thanks for the support. It’s nice to know that there are others who remember the truth, and aren’t tainted by all of the conspiracy theories out there … as Scott so obviously is.
I’m a little surprised that my last post has survived. Normally I don’t let my emotions get control of this keyboard, but the bilge that was being spewed forth about a lot of good men hit one of my “buttons” and that was what came rolling out.
Hopefully that post will stay there long enough for a lot of folks to see it, and recognize the truth it contains. The spirits of all the men who died that day demand that we keep the truth out there, and deny the revisionist’s attempt to make that tragic accident into some sinister plot and “cover-up”.
Signing off now. Tomorrow is going to be quite busy.

This time Obama is backed by millions of Americans we pay his bill because we want change…
Paid for in part by me!

Wgeb will OBama release his real medical records?
(Not the one sheet submitted by a medical friend of his.)
WHAT IS HE AFRAID WE’LL FIND?

Obama lied about public financing, lied about agreeing to debate McCain in town hall meetings, lied about his relationship to ACORN, only to remember that he got $800,000 in csh from them. Lied about Ayers, Wright, Khalidi, Rezco, and his relationships with these anti=american people. He has no experience in anything, and he stated he has campaigned in all 57 states. He’s a dolt and if you think he’s going to give you a tax break your a fool

Lets go back to 911..
How is it that people can fall for a person like “Barack Hussein Obama”!?!
Such a smooth talker! (ie So was Hitler)!
Obama has lied so much & people dont see this???! Very scary!! What sheep!!
Obama isn’t even a US citizen!!!!
He has never ‘proved’ it!
The “Associated Press” is running this election! What a farce it all is!!! Can’yall say “One World Gov.”?!
That’s not a secret anymore! And people are falling for it like Obama is their Messiah! Why? Because he would be the first black Pres.? Really great reason to vote for the guy! Forget about “THE FACTS”, we need a new skin tone this time! God help the US!

Sorry, hope did not pay for one single cent of that infomercial. The American people, mostly the poor and struggling did. For Obama to spend over 4 million dollars for a 30 minute infomercial is an absolute travesty.
If he does get elected next week, and I pray to God he doesn’t, he will have bought his way into the White House with almost 3/4 of a billion dollars of other peoples hard earned money. Will he be worth it. I highly doubt it.

Will Obama blame the three quarters of a billion dollars and the illegal foreign country campaign contributions on his white half or his black half?
I guess we’ll have to wait for his next appearance on The Daily Show. (I’ve got better thing to do so forgive me if I’ll pass.)

McCain never kept his promise to run a clean race, all he does is launch dishonorable attacks. In a country full of 700 Billion dollar bailouts, its refreshing to see a candidate work to earn your donation. McCain took the lazy way out, relying on our tax dollars and lobbyists to fund his campaign.

Get used to Obama lying.
The only difference is now you’ll see what a guy who has zero depth does.
