Senator McCain your commercials -- included words like disrespectful dangerous dishonorable He -- You're running mate said He pals around with terrorists. Or each of you tonight willing to sit at this table and say to each other's face what your campaigns. And the people. In your campaigns have said about each other. And they. Senator McCain your -- well let's. There's been a tough campaign and a very tough camp. And I know from my experience and many campaigns. Of Senator Obama had asked -- responded to my urgent request. To sit down. And do town hall meetings come before the American people we could -- at least ten of them by now. As a Senator Obama was first asked He said any place any time. The way Barry Goldwater Jack Kennedy agreed to do before the invention --

church. George Wallace. That that to me. We're so hurtful. It's an Obama you didn't repudiate those remarks every time there's been an out of bounds remark made by Republican. No matter where they are I have repudiated. I hope that some Obama repudiate those remarks that were made by congressman John Lewis very unfair and totally inappropriate. So I wanna tell you we will run a truthful campaign this is a tough campaign and it's a matter of fact that Senator Obama has spent more money. I'm negative ads than any political campaign in history and I can prove it. And Senator Obama when He said He signed a piece of Paper. Said He would take public financing for his campaign. If I did and respect when He was a long shot candidate. You didn't keep your word. We looked into the camera and debate with Senator Clinton said I would sit down and negotiate with John McCain . About public financing before -- make a decision He didn't tell the American people the truth because she did. And that's that's that's an unfortunate part now we have highest spending. Senator Obama's campaign and any time since Watergate all right look. You know I think that we expect. Presidential campaign speech. I think that if you look at the record in the impressions the American people about -- it's network just to the poll showing that. Two thirds of the American people think that senator McCain's running negative campaign. Verses 13 of 100%. John of your ads a 100% of them have been that I wonder if it

portray completely my position on immigration. So. The fact is that Senator Obama is spending unprecedented. Unprecedented in the history of American politics going back to the began. Amounts of money in negative attack ads
