CNN

mccain and the re[ublicans are a bunch of cowards

exactly what I said before. Keep discarding all people whom he trust around him and put in those who have no faith in anything.

We will end up with a white washed and whiter Obama with no policy but the one the media had in mind, if they do.

sometimes, I feel as though the media's aim is just to destroy as much as possible and as quickly as possible anyone or every thing that seem good for the ordinary America.

Guess what? we are in the same boat. If poverty gets to tough, that means there are more bandits or angry americans out there driven by poverty, and bitter on their entitlements.
Generations of Americans are working on temporary jobs that do not offer pensions. They work for such a short time that they neither qualify for pensions or unemployment.

If these people are not dead in the meantime, there will be a time when they will seek revenge, because you saw what happened when the mortgage industry melt down: More and more houses are being vendalized before foreclosures. That may happen when people start to become desperate: they may not just burn their own houses: they may burn ours.

If he uses an insider then he'll be accused of embracing the old system he denounces yet it he uses outsiders they say he is using inexperienced people. The Republicans are full of double speak.

WHAT ABOUT GRAMM MCCAIN?

-he is your financial adviser and lobbied for the companies responsible fro the mortgage crisis.
-------------------------------–

THANK YOU NICK FROM ARLINGTON, VA!! McCain is a complete hypocrite.

What a joke. Who cares?

By the way Marc PDX, the economy and middle east are already screwed up royally. Pull your head out.

McCain you're pathetic!

Mr. McCain, please concentrate on your own VP selection and leave Sen. Obama's to him. If you're seriously considering the "hair do", Romney; you have enough problems to worry about besides Sen. Obama's.

Vote Obama in November!

Let's stay with the issues, can we?

The guy isn't getting a cabinet postion for crying out loud.

McCain knows he needs to deflect from the issues to stay in the game.

WHAT ARE ALL THE OBAMABOTS SO AFRAID OF? THE FLAWED CHARACTER OF YOUR CANDIDATE IS WHAT'S GONNA DEFEAT HIM IN THE END...

TIC...TAC...TIC...TAC...TIC...TAC...IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME!

HILLARY CLINTON SUPPORTERS FOR
JOHN MCCAIN

I know McCain has no message. He will loose galantly.........LOL

Blah Blah Blah.........McCain will stoop to any level to win votes. Let's talk about thing's that are important like the economy, healthcare, The housing crisis, gas prices, and the list goes on. He's like a little kid that tries to tattletale.

If you can't win on the issues try anything! Give it up Republicans. You stole the 2000 election, scared the hell out of us in 2004. It's about time that politicians realize the american people are not STUPID! We may be gullible from time to time but please don't insult our intelligence any more. OBAMA '08

McCain is another Bush.

Just goes to show McCain is not ready to be Commander In Chief on day one. He can't focus on any important issue for long. And according to him it does not matter when our brave troups come home.

McCain sure did get desperate early. I guess his talk of a "clean campaign" was as big a lie as just about everything else he's said in the past few years. Go ahead and try everything you can, McCain, but it's not going to stick. Obama beat Hillary, and Hillary was a MUCH more appealing candidate than you'll ever be on your best day. When November comes around, you won't even have a prayer.

All of you NObama idiots just refuse to open your eyes and pay attention to what sort of people he aligns himself with!! Do you really think that one black man, with absolutely no experience, can do all he says he can do? You've been drinking too much Koolaid!

Pot...Kettle....Black. These are not even in the same zip code as the people McSame has surrounding him and puppeting him on every policy. Keep it up McBush and you will continue to look incompetent. Sure are doing a great job at straw grasping. It is time for a change.

I don't know whether this CRAP originates with McCain or the Media, but McCain is going to be saddled with this Albatross – unless it is becomes clear that he he is not involved in spreading it.

Despite a pro-life philosophy, McCain is driving away supporters left and right with his campaign. I don't believe that McCain even knows what he stands up for. With all his flip-flops, I am starting to thinks that he is so open-minded that he has no mind at all!

Mike

Let this have been the other way around and you'd have had McCain Lynched by now. Obama is running on the fact that he wants CHANGE and McCain is pointing out that he's HIDING behind that stance so instead of seeing that you all just whine whine whine. Enough already!! Since when is back and forth jabbing news to everyone! Geesh!

This probably won't get posted but it felt REALLY good to type!

Before you start trowing bricks old and senile guy , there are a few criminals in your party that will be looking for some help when your dumb brother leaves office. I dont think Eric Holder pardoned anyone so stop fishing.

I'm amazed at how McCain is selling out to his party. Once an independent voice and a proponent of doing the right thing, even if politically unpopular, he has now become the latest Republican puppet. As an independent voter, in the past I have been a fan of McCain . . . but not this election cycle. Is it just me, or is he just another old, tired rehash of the same? This reminds me so much of Bob Dole's attempted run on the White House – no independent thinking, no new ideas, and zero personality. It's a shame to see him go down this road as I respect his record as a senator.

This is sad, You mean to tell me that McCain is trying to win by talking about the company Obama keeps! Well Mr. McCain at least Obama is a Man of his word.
You Sr. are not, remember what you said “not Dirty Politics” it is amazing how desperate McCain has become. it is a sign desperation and weakness!

Keating 5–divorced his first wife because she was ill. Wanted millions Cindy had. Bought insiders to ahead in AZ. Lets not start calling the kettle black!!!!! McBush will get his along with Bush/Cheney!!! And it will come from a higher power!!!

McCain's the BIGGEST hypocrite EVER!!!

McCain can send $4,000 Americans to their deaths without blinking an eye – yet picks on every person Obama has working to vet his potential VP... None of whom, to my knowledge, has as much blood on his/her hands than McCain...

Whatever!

It's FAST approaching STUPIDITY! I forgot, we need to vet the vetters and perhaps have those vetting the vetters vetted as well...

WHERE DOES IT END???

The lobbyists running McCain's campaign with all their dirty GOP money have absolutely NO business attacking Obama... PERIOD!

Good for Mccain....clean house senator! Obama's got lots of corrupted characters around him......we already seen 6...its not a surprise that theres more coming. Where theres smoke, theres fire!

What's next? Flagger or "Reverend" Wright are being considered for the VP spot?

You have got to be kidding me!!!

McCain has a valid argument. Obama promotes himself as an agent of "change" while practicing politics as usual. Just like all the other candidates that have run for president this year, he surrounds himself with people of questionable character. Fortunately for Obama, his "educated", "affluent" supporters only see the second coming when they look at him.........unfortunately for the rest of us, it is the second coming of Jimmy Carter.

Obama experience = rhetoric
does not deserve to be prez. Please people, wake up before it too late.

Maybe McCain forgot he said he was going to run a clean campaign. He seems to forget several things he has said. He even goes so far as to denie he every said them. He may have even forgot who he has running his campaign and what they have been involved with.

Cathy DFW Texas,

With all due respect, instead of trying to sound like someone's mom, just post something. No one cares, if you don't like what some are calling McCain. If you don't like it go somewhere else and post. As far as your comments about Obama, if you have trouble trying to decide whether to vote for him, maybe you are spending a little too much time paying attention to name calling and not focusing on the issues. Candidates and supporters are two different things.Try to realize that and maybe then you can decide. Please!

You've got to be kidding me.

Go Obama...and to all the sleaze from the Republicans...I say to hell with you. John mccain and all of you ANTI AMERICANS can go straight to hell!

mcsame,learn from hilary
she chose the kitchen sink and went down the drain
you'll be next
keep on keeping on

I THOUGHT MR.MAGOO WANTED TO RUN A CLEAN CAMPAIGN !!!!!!!
WHAT HAPPENED ????????????????

SEN. McCAIN: No. No. I-the fact is that I'm different but the fact is that I have agreed with President Bush far more than I have disagreed. And on the transcendent issues, the most important issues of our day, I've been totally in agreement and support of President Bush.

Gramps McCain should just shut his piehole until he purges his campaign of every corporate lobbyist.

Oh, and Gramps? We haven'e forgotten about your involvement with the Keating 5 and the savings and Loan scandals. And we'll bring it up every chance we get ....

McBush is a crumpy old man with amnesia.

Did you see the video clip of McCain bragging about the fact that he does not know how to use a computer?!!! Computer illeterate is how he described himself!! And this is the man you want to lead us into the 21st century? Laughable.

DEAR SEN JOHN MCCAIN HERE IS A LITTLE MESSAGE FOR YOU AND YOU REPUBLICANS AS WELL AS YOUR PAID BLOGGERS I AM A 37 YEAR OLD WHITE WORKING FEMALE THAT LIVES IN PA AND YOU MY FRIEND WILL NEVER GET MY VOTE OR WIN MY STATE HERE THAT MY FRIEND NEVER AND BY THE WAY IM INDEPENDENT INDEPENDENT 37 YEAR OLD WHITE FEMALE AND I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE!!!!!!!!!!!

Cathy DFW Texas June 12th, 2008 2:56 pm ET

Okay, I'm a Democrat. But I am really sick of all the stupid juvenile posts where people call McCain all those childish names like McSame, McLame, McShame, etc. Grow up people.

Here you are jumping all over McCain for going after an Obama staffer & saying how childish that is. Then you turn right around and call him those names like some 10 yr. old. I repeat, grow up. If you disagree with McCain, that's fine, but for heaven sake, write something that sounds a little more adult than the juvenile tripe I keep seeing here.

It is stuff like this constantly coming from the Obama camp that has me really struggling with whether or not I can support him in November. If he attracts such a bunch of lemmings, that kind of scares me a little.
---------------------------------

Um, as a democrat, we are SUPPOSED to belittle and besmirch the enemy young one. It was wrong when we did it to Hillary out of anger but McInsane, McWalkingcane, McStain, is fair game baby! Do you like McDementia or something? If you're going to berate us for calling him names, then you should go to Faux News and do the same to the ones on that site for calling Obama all kinds of names, hell, they even bring to this one. Don't get on our nuts for what we call McThusela if you're not going to do the same to those who mess with Obama's name.

Obama/Sebelius 08/12!

I think McCain should remove himself as a candidate. The Keating Five was a scandel second only to Bush's twisting of intelligence to gave his war. The fossil needs to look in the mirror and decide what ISSUES he stands for and how he plans to implements is ideas.. HOW PETTY CAN HE GET????? Oh, McShame has no issues.

LOL, is that all he's got??? Or is he using anything to distract attention away from Iraq and the economy?

Well, well, well, Mr. McCain. So much for the clean, above the trail campaign. You will do anything thto keep the medai from talking about the issues like the economy that you know little about.

Seriously? Is this what the campaign is about. WOW. McCain is already desperate. Pretty sad.

give them hell John.

Thanks for bringning the Clintons into this Mr. McCain. Way to woo her supporters. Please keep running your mouth...you're unifying the party.

Why don't we start talking about all the LOBBYISTS on mccain's payroll, including his VP vetting team?

When will this country stop listening to this guy?

CNN PLEASE PRINT THIS

Do you remember in a debate with Clinton and Obama, and Obama

threw it in Hillary's face about Bill Clinton Pardoning Marc Rich?

He mad a big deal of this, and now the shoe is on the other foot.

Obama is a flip flopper

An IMPORTANT point CNN leaves out These VP vetters are not Paid!!!! they recieve no money.....volunteer ring a bell?????

McCain needs to get a life.................maybe a real job would help him....factory work would do

So basically anyone who has done ANYTHING questionable cannot work for Obama? Does McCain vet his vetters? If so, why not the vetters' vetters vetters? Should this raise serious questions about his judgement, if not?

Come on, this is ridiculous.

Predictions!

Obama will win the presidency in November. He'll pick a running mate with more politcal experience than he has (that's a given unless he picks a military man). Obama will screw things up royally in the middle east and with the economy. Democrats will blame the republicans.

Check back with you in a year to see how I did!

NObama N'08

Here goes Mr Flip flop McCain! With all of the lobbyists and special interest groups who work for and advise him, he thinks that he is qualified to Vet. Barack's People!

Dems. It is time for you to start Vetting McCain's people he is now getting ridiculous!!! (oops!... he has always been ridiculous, he is just getting worse)

The old man is toast and he know it. Republican will try any thing to change the subject for the real issue facing americans. Talk about the economy, Iraq war, Gas price, food price and so on. Mccain is clueless when it comes to the economy, he wants to stay in Iqaq for 100 years, making time line in not important to him eventhough all our troops want to come home old man is out of touch.

WHAT ABOUT GRAMM MCCAIN?

-he is your financial adviser and lobbied for the companies responsible fro the mortgage crisis.

So, if he can get Eric Holder off the VP vetting team, will the price of gas go down?

We see where this is going, Obama should bring back Johnson and battle McCain more tenacious now since he is going after people helping him pick a VP, What the hell is it about going after the people selecting VP, none of these people are wanting to actually get the VP spot.

Wow is this the best that Senator McCain can do? Folks it's time for change and Senator McCain is not it! Obama 08

I am so sick of the Republicans and their smear tactics. Do they know how to do anything else?

Maybe they should check out Barack's garbage collector's sister's brother-in-law's cousin twice-removed. You never know. . .

McCain had better be careful who he tries to attack. His campaign was full of lobbyists, true but everyone seems to forget MCcain's role in the Keating Five Scandal of the 1980's. Mccain and five other senators were found to be guilty of there roles in trying to stop an investigation of Charles Keating and his crooked Saving and Loan that bilked millions of senior citizen investors and taxpayers of billions. Mccain and four other senators had roles in a scandal to thwart investigating to Keating, whom Mccain had a very close relationship with and received many perks from. McCain was officially censured by the senate for his role in this scnadal that cost many americans their life savings, as well as billions to tax payers. Google " THE KEATING FIVE SCANDAL" for more information if you care to know the truth.

Now to Clinton supporters ( women especially) You say you will vote for McCain because your hard feelings about Hillary and try to say that you are doing it for various reasons, but it is an obvious case of sour grapes. The economy is TERRIBLE, but you instead of voting for the candidate whose closer to Hillary's views, you will vote for a candidate that has admitted that he doesn't have economic experience, will continue the Bush policies on the economy, and was one of the key figures in a scandal that gave Billions to a crooked friend in the S&L business and was censured because of it. Add that to his stance on Iraq, foreign policy, a women's right to choose, etc. and it's clear that Obama is the better choice. Vote your interest people, not out of spite.

Obama/ Clinton or Obama/ Sebillius 2008

Why doesn't McCain release his psychiatric records?

We love you, Obama! Just ignore the detractors. Don't confuse the issues with facts because we want hope. And we want change. And we don't have a thought in our heads. We love you, Obama.

McClown is so full of it...you can smell from miles away. This guy is so pathetic he drowns in his own filth!

These are the important issues that we as Americans need to worry about? Senator Obama's VP selection committee??? Stop grasping at straws and stick to what's important, folks. Senator McCain, you are an honorable man, but you are beginning to crumble before our very eyes. I think I now know where my vote is going.

BE CLEAR:

The MAJORITY of Americans could care less about who's vetting the possible VP's.

They're too busy trying to figure out how to get to work (if they are lucky enough to have a job)

Spare me.

"Stephina June 12th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

To Disappointed:

The Obama supporters are all angry and very upset people. They can't stand for their candidate to be critized because it jolts them into reality and out of their dream-land.

In a nationwide survey Republicans were reported as being the happy and content citizens; while the Democrats were reported as being un-happy and un-content.

All you have to do is read their posts on these forums. They complain about everything and they are always are shouting: Give me this or give me that.

McCain in 2008 !!!"
----------–
I support Obama, and I'm not upset. Actually, I'm glad McCain's doing this, because this is precisely how Obama beat Hillary. If McCain wants to throw the kitchen sink, that's fine.

Let's just pray he doesn't break a hip!

You McBush, your own republican commitee is full of dirty laundry, wash your laundry first before you see who has dirty clothes. Poor thing he is out of speeches to give.

...and the popular media should take another dive into the Keating 5 scandal. McCain certainly has experience (corruption and otherwise) on his side.

I'm actually glad that John McCain is playing these games early on. Because this is precisely what the independent voters DON'T want.
Independents don't follow in lock step to either Democrats or Republicans. Therefore, if one candidate doesn't behave, they can easily switch to the other without guilt feelings.

Keep up the good work, John! You've already alienated the Conservatives because of your stance on illegal immigration. You've already alienated the Evangical Conservatives because of how you treated Pastor Hagee! And now you're going to alienate the independents.

John, you're the gift that keeps on giving! I'm going to have one last beer, before you start vetoing them!

Pot this is kettle, over.

McCain going after anyone is a joke. How about his economic advisor Phil Gram or his foreign affairs advisor William Kristol. McCain will be a lauging stock by November.

This is Good news, now we know He can't find anything else on Obama.

Raz
Obama 08/12

John from LA, when you wake up from that dream...give us a holla!

McCain is only challenging Obama to hold to his own standards . .

Obama still hasn't responded to why he attended and supported a black liberation church for 20 years and listened to its pastor preach hate and racism. This is a core value issue with me.

At least now we know what he was inviting Obama to talk about at those town halls.

Let see , it seems to me McSames wants to be Obamba Advisors.

First he tell Obamba he needs to vist Iraq, second he tell Obamba he needs to have 10 town meetings with him, and now he is telling Obama about the people Obama pick to vet for a VP. McSames is not ready to be the next President.

Who's next Caroline Kennedy???? McCain is pathetic. GO AWAY MCCAIN!!!!

Better yet...answer why you dumped your first wife....CNN...do a segement on that....Huffpo has all the info on McCain dumping his first wife Carol. He truely is PATHETIC.

MCBUSH bring troops home? Nah, thats not important. They can stay in Iraq for a 100 years! I've agreed with 95% of Bush policy's last year and by electing me we can stay on course with the ongoing War in Iraq, the high gas prices and the failing economy.

Vote for me, McCain and lets BURN DOWN America together!

Are all these personal attacks, finger pointing and irrelevant distractions part of the clean campaign that John is promising the American people? McCain contradicts himself so much that I bet he doesn't even know who he is. And we are constantly watching this general election campaigns carefully and will elect our president based on the issues important to us rather than be distracted by petty dirty old Republican political tactics.

The war in Iraq was predicated on LIES and fearmongering.

The Republican administration preyed on the psychology of the American people, and by repeatedly using 9/11 and Iraq in the same sentence, created a direct link between the two in the minds of many Americans to extent that 70-plus percent of people believed the hijackers were Iraqis!

McCane is even WORSE than Bush when it comes to the Iraq war. At least Bush does not have McCane's baggage of having been a POW for 5 years.

Who on earth would vote for McCain? Hillary supporters are supporting him because they felt Obama's campaign was a little sexist?
McCain is A LOT sexist!
He opposes requirements for health plans to provide contraceptive coverage, favors overturning Roe vs. Wade, and he even called his own wife a CUNextTuesday!! Back in April he opposed the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act which would have guaranteed equal pay for equal work.
I can't believe he's somehow painted himself as a "moderate"
He's a wing-nut who will only continue driving our country, as Bush has, toward ruin.

McCain, why don't you get all the slimey lobbyists off your team and your so-called Straight Talk Express bus you deceitful Keating Five lyin', cheatin' Rethuglican?!

It appears that the Obama supporters are beginning to feel the heat. Ladies and gentlemen, you're in the big leagues now. The rest of America isn't buying into your American idol. We reject idolatry.

I thought McCain said he was going to run a clean and positive campaign. Doesn't sound like it to me. If he goes back on this tiny statement, lawd only knows what he will go back on if he's President. Well he won't be President (I think he pretty much knows that) and that's why he's trying to throw the kitchen sink. It's not going to work! No one wants McBush!

So does McCain ever talk issues or just go on the attack against Obama's people? People accuse Obama of being an "empty suit" but I'm seeing a lot less content coming from McCain...

What a pathetic man...he is so out of touch on issues that all he can do is pick at Obama's staff!

Republicans look what you have representing your interest. That in a time when gas is over $4 all father time can think to do is invade the Obama campaign. That's all he knows how to do is wage wars on countries and campaigns. He is SUCH A PATHETIC MAN!

Obama '08!

@58 year old white women for Obama....Not according to CNN and the polls. LMAO

If McCain had his way on top of reversing Roe v. Wade he'd probably want to reverse Brown v. Board of Education as well.

If the GOP wants to dig up non issues, let's talk about Cindy, the home wrecker.

I think I read that Mrs McCaine money came from the sale of Beer. Now there is nothing wrong with beer, but some people cannot handle it. Let's hold Barbie Doll McCaine responsible for all the wrongs cause from beer in her area of the country.

Are not Bitter

LOL

Who LOLing Now

Loyalty, Black list, LOL

donna, great post.

So now the truth comes out. Obama's so-called change is just more insider politics business as usual nonsense. Wake up america. If elected, Obama will flush himself and the rest of us down the toilet of inexperience.

Indredible! Campaign advisors are basically telling McCain to follow Hillary Clinton's playbook, and lay on 2 coats of slease. The primaries were one thing, but the general election is something totally different. It is painfully obvious that McCain has no plan to win the election, and if he did win, he has no play to fix any of the problems that we now face.

As much as Hillary supporters tout they are 18 million strong, please be aware that half of that number will support Obama. There are equal amounts of moderate republicans and independants that are pledging their support for Obama. As much as Obama is beingportrayed as a far left liberal, he is garnering the support of more moderate voters than McCain. One point many people aren't grasping is the fact that sometimes how you deliver the message is as important as the message itself. People eventually become exhuasted with all the attacks. Pay attention to the polls, you will see Obama's numbers begin the spike.

More and more blogs are pitching up on the net referring to Mr Obama as THE DISSASOCIATOR, with Jum Johnson being the latest ex-Obamee! Who next?

So the Straight Talk Express has morphed into the Slimeball Express. Pretty bad when you're this desperate in June.

For a guy who still has a bunch of lobbyists in key positions in his campaign, this is pretty brash. Does McCain mean "hypocrite" in Scottish?

Two points here. Obama threw down the gauntlet that he was the face of New Politics. For him to use the retreads of previous administrations contradicts that. Also, all the people defending Obama were OUTRAGED when Clinton pardoned Rich. Now you want to defend the legal mind behind it? Yet another double standard for the Obamabots.

Kathy from DFW, TX.

People don't come here too often to talk intelligently. Come to the Obama campaign blog and debate the issues maturely. People who come in angry and say bad things are booted.

Sure Obama supporters say nasty things, but they are venting. If you post a blog with respect, you'll get responses with respect.

John McCain= Bob Dole....nuf said......conservative Republicans unite for Barr!

McInsane should be careful of the kinds of issues he wants to raise ... his own ugly history of serial-adultry is an issue that doesn't show him in a very favorable light!! He is a shameless OLD POLITICIAN with absolutely nothing new to offer the nation.

said it before, and will say it again: McCain's got NOTHING

Hey, all you critics out there. Vote for me. Why? I like McCain and I like Obama. Is that positive enough? No dirty politics here. We are all Americans, right? Let's say good things about each other. Are you still with me? My, my, my, I can sense your temperature rising. Not to fear. I still like you. Now vote for me! My life's experience is definitely more than Obama's, but less than McCain's. It's an age issue. I am well qualified to run the country, having run my own business for more than 20 years and successfully sent both my kids through ivy league college. Have lived in four different countries and traveled extensively abroad, thus qualifying me to run foreign affairs. Why don't I run for President then? It's because of all you guys...so negative, so one-sided, so close-minded and oh, so into your own self. Oh, no, there goes my candidacy! But, I still like all of you as well as President George W. Bush. History will vindicate him as a great American! What? You don't believe me? Here's wishing all you non-believers a long, long life so you can prove me wrong.

People should google Keating 5 , also skeleton's in John McCain's closets.Find out when him and his present wife started seeing each other. Like before he divorce to his disabled first wife? OBAMA 08

Connie from Indiana

MY FRIEND! You Are Not Able To Win On Any Of The Issues That Are Important To Americans! Not Even The War, Which You Love So Much, Is Going To Get You Into The White House!

Obama hits this war monger with everything you got he is grasping for straws it shows how weak his campaign is. Intstead of talking about gas that is over 4 Dollars a galllon he wants to question a man that has nothing to do with whether our not food prices go down get to the issues Mcshame that is what we care about! Stupid Republican

ah..maybe Barack should "vet" his barber and dry cleaner..how about the cashier at the grocery store.. this has gotten so ridiculous.. this crabby old man needs to take a nap in his easy chair. His speech today and I use the term loosley , was riddled with bumblings and mistakes what a bore. He better have more than being a war monger as this isn't enough to win or even come close..sheese what a loser and yes..I am 55 and know the word..

Didn't his friend Bush pardon Libby.Where was the outrage with that.

A couple of points:

1: If you are held as a prisoner of war, as McCain was, does that automatically make you a war hero?

2: If McCain is so experienced and a great leader, after all his years in the Senate, all of his wisdom, shouldn't he know more about the economy?

This is truly pathetic!

Man! I have lost all respect for McCain. He has been trying to show what a "good guy" he is. Yet, he is as mean spirited and hateful as his GOP hate machine like Romney, Limpbaugh, Rove. What hate they spew. He certainly doesn't appear to a practicing Christian. What a shame!

"My Friends, ... That's not change we can believe in."

heh heh

lets see….. im just waiting for the obama zealots so i can find out how this too is hillary clinton's fault.
~^-~^-~^-
The person you supposted lost and admitted defeat, why can't you? It can't be healthy to hold on to so much anger and frustration over something that you can't change. If Hillary would have won the nomination I'd be just as enthusiastic about voting for her as I am about voting for Obama, anything to hand McCain defeat. Think about how badly this war in the Middle East has effected our economy and vote for who you think would fix it, not blindly keep us there.

this is stupid Obama bet not fire another person over media scrutiny if that is the case Mcsame should fire his top advisors for there Lobbyist ties

Discuss the issues!

my oh my, such vitriol from the obamarama-mamas-and-papas!
did old man mccain hit a nerve? he's just trying to underscore the fact that HUSSEIN surrounds himself with slime and because of that, he is hardly presidential material. wake up, america. drop the kool aid and come to your senses!

McCain need to pick his own vice president and let Obama make his choice, if this is all he can come up with- november can't come soon enough. First he want to have town hall meetings, then he wants no less than 10, then he want to say and when. Obama continue to be your own man just because McCain can't draw large crowds don't
let him dicatate how you should run yours. He is so old and out of step with the real world. If you want to start digging there is plenty in your closet you don't want out.

Go get him McCain!!!

Obama's staff are all nuts and crooks!! Right from Howard Dean on down!!!!

It's so obvious that The Gelding can't run on his record and positions on the issues so he's going to waste all our time on this horse crap. He's not concerned with the war, the economy, the mortgage crisis – he's worried about winnin' the "gotcha" game. Well you know gramps, every time you scream at the cloud, you discount yourself a little more. Your credibility is just shot, now you're just comedic relieve and your schtick is more sad than funny these days.

Do yourself a favor McSame – stick to your noun, verb, viet nam strategy – it sure works better than this hooey.

CONTROVERSY:

Countrywide Financial gave McCain money!!!

So does McCain want to remove McCain?

Mccain Is Clearly Representing The Same Old Policies That Have Put This Country Where We Are Now! Mccain Does Not Have An Issue To Stand On! He Is Not Fit To Be Our President And In November Myself And Millions Of Others Will Show Him The Door!

John McCain is a confused Idiot

who is the one whispering in mc c´s ear?

he forgot what he was there, pathetic!

"He voted to shut down the Title X family-planning program, which provides millions of women with health care services ranging from birth control to breast cancer screenings."

Its also costing the tax payers 1.8 Billion a year to fund, because of all the ad ons in the program.

"He hates gay marriage and would ban it"

Good no problem with that here! Makes me want to vote for McCain more, its not like all dems want to see a gay marriage.

"he will over turn roe vs wade"

Bush is way way more agienst Roe vs. Wade and he has done nothing about it for 8 years, thats the point the pres. has almost no power its the "other people" who do..

Is this the same John McCain that was stealing peoples retirement funds from the Savings and Loans? What a true scumbag that man is. And guess what John, it does matter when our troops come home!

...your idea of running a clean campaign, huh McCain? Wow....way to go there, bud...

I think John McCain looks desperate bringing up these silly slurs on people who are barely linked to Senator Obama's campaign. It shows his desparation to find anything he can to hit Obama on and keep the scrutiny off of the plethora of lobbyists working on his campaign. Next thing you know, he'll be saying Caroline Kennedy is linked to the Chappaquidik (sp?) incident. He apparently can't stick with the issues because if he does, he will surely lose. He needs to find a rocking chair on a porch somewhere and sit down.

For all the outrage, you'd think that Obama had selected Jim Johnson and Eric Holder to actually be the Vice President, rather than run the process to select them.

And you expect me to watch a Town Hall debate with this man.

I think not!

JFK – grow up...no talent...obama's got talent to boot..way more than you i'm sure.....

Eight years ago I told my husband that I thought I could vote for McCain if he got the Republican nomination. Thank God he didn't!! Nw that he has it, we see his true colors. Why bother with issues when there are so many other things we could discuss – forget about the fact that Americans are drowning under high gas prices, high interest rates, impending foreclosures, etc. Vote for Change!!!

Right, and McCain had an affair with a lobbyist. I'm getting tired of this who did what. Unless he killed someone or robbed a baby, I don't want to hear about it.

aware

you are the only one....poor soul, if you have one

It is also a matter of record that McCane said that it isn't important how long our troops stay in Iraq.

McCane disgusts me in every sense of the word. He talks about a civilized campaign, but he is anything but civilized.

How can anyone trust a man who left his sick wife for a younger, richer woman. McCane has climed the social ladder on the back of his wife.

People should take the time and read about McCane's conduct in the Navy. He was a disgrace, and if it weren't for the influence of his father, he would have never made it as a pilot.

To "Disappointed:
You give way too much of your power away.
Peace

OH now I have heard everything!!! What about McCain's lead advisor Charlie Black and his representing the Iraqi con man Ahmed Chalabi!! This man, Chalabi was the instigator of the intel that brought this country into an invasion of Iraq that resulted in the deaths of 4000+ American soldiers , wounding countless others, not to mention how many Iraqi citizens!! This is more problematic than Eric Holder doing a temporary job of getting a list of potential Veeps for Obama, and vetting them, and bringing up the fact that has a lawyer for the DoJ he was doing his job in that capacity for President Clinton. Nice diversionary tactics John McCain...one of your better ones~!!!

Gee I wonder who told mccain about this guy? Oh well he wont remember anyway.

As long as that clinton person isnt on the ticket – who cares?

Obama 08 – that is music to my ears

McCain is a bumbling idiot! Yeah, it's true. He can't come up with anything relevant, so he is in attack mode. Any and every other word(s) out of his mouth is an attack on Senator O. I thought this would be a clean, fair fight? I guess old habits die hard huh? **pittyful**

I am confused because he stated "his camp would be clean" **lier**
Someone else tried it and it back fired. Do you think it will work now, old man?

The candidates decisions as we move to the general elections are fair game for criticism. If you preach one thing and then get bagged doing another, shouldn't that be an issue that some voters may want to reflect on before making a decision?

This vetting issue applies to both candidates. So if a candidate is not affraid of what goes around comes around, why not speak to it on the campaign trail?

Don't forget this isn't personal, It's Politics American Style.

sad...just sad....what happened to "no dirty politics" Mcsame?

Gee, seems to me that John McCain should clean up his own election committe, and his lobyist backers, before he jumps on Obama!

'58 old white ladies for OBAMA' – what?

Oh come on now! Are these the issues of substance you claimed your campaign would be based on? You surround yourself with big lobbyists while claimming this is what's ruining Washington. Simple logic would draw anyone to conclude that you will bring us closer to ruin with your dangerous hippocricy. Your little distractions will do nothing to save you from the devastating blow you will take in Nov. Buh-bye McSame.

Don't fall for it Obama. If he can get you off the issues he has a chance. Let this Bush clone sink his own ship, don't help him, he's doing just fine.

I wonder if Obama can ignore McCain as if he isn't in the race like he did Clinton? Just run out the clock and the old man drown in his own spit. Sounds like a plan to me.

I got one thing to say. This is over

Obama 08
these morons are way off base with everything they are trying right now. If they didn't learn one thing from watching Hillary run her campaign with their type of attack ad campign is that this crap doesn't work

McCain will lose his bid for the presidency if he continues the next 4 1/2 months on this trail of belittle Obama, criticizing Obama for the EXTREMELY EFFICIENT campaign he is running (just re-ask the Clintons about that), and McCain's avoidance of the economic issues will bring him down. Obama's poll numbers will continue to climb with every negative word McCain puts forth (coming from a man who said he wants to run a "clean" campaign). When the debates begin publicly on TV, it wil be so clear to see "who" can follow the scenarios in the debates and who gets "lost". Just the presentation style differences of the two candidates will be glaring. OBAMA '08 !

Go get Obama Mccain. You have to have safe National Security before you can work on economy etc.

Sen McCain,
Let's go after the kind of movies Sen Obama's neighborhood likes to rent, and let's determine what kind of car his roommate in college drove, and let's just ask him flat out why he thought it important to infiltrate the Harvard Law Review offices. That will tell the world just what it needs to know to urge other Americans how to vote for President. That's the important stuff. Right??

It's humorous that anyone would make their vote on the basis of what someone says on a BLOG.

Quite stupid if you ask me. So If I like Obama and someone else likes Obama says something dumb about Clinton or McCain, I'm suppossed to change my vote?

Obama didn't say it. I swear, sometimes you have to wonder if people are this silly.

@ Cathy DFW Texas

If the posting of some bloggers have you questioning whether or not you can support a candidate (whom none of us know) then you have bigger issues at hand...McCains supporters talk about Obama's supporter, Hillary supporters, etc..it will continue to go round and round..you may want to stop reading the blogs if they bother you so much...freedom of speech!!!!

Mr McCain, does "Keating 5" ring a bell????? McCain himself was investigated in 1989 for Political Corruption!!!!

Keating was head of a Savings & Loan Company that was being investigated for corruption by the Federal Home Loan Board. McCain knew Keating, because Keating had donated thousands to McCain's campaign. Plus Keating had a large strip mall project, which John and Cindy McCain had invested their money into. So Keating and McCain were close friends, and money was going both ways between them.

When the Federal Government tried to investigate Keating, John McCain and 4 other Senators met privately with the investigators and tried to convince them to stop the investigation!!!! The investigator turned them in, and the Government gave all 5 a small spank on the hand.

One of the prosecutors for that investigation against McCain, is now part of the McCain Campaign!!! Obviously McCain not only tried to stop a Federal Investigation against Keating, but also managed to use his power and money to stop an Investigation against himself!! So today, the people that once tried to investigate him are now paid members of his Campaign!!!

I think McCain is jealous that Obama has come up with people that have this being the worst thing on their record.

ANSWER FOR BLACK STILL BEING ON YOUR CAMPAIGN MCCAIN!!!

This man truly makes me sick to my stomach.

@Cathy...I'm sorry, but all because some people are being immature who also happen to support Obama does not mean that you should not still support him. That's kind of silly. Obama cannot control how these people on here act. Smart & dumb people alike have access to the internet and are free to type what they want. Obama, Hillary, and McCain all have immature supporters!

Obama is an intelligent man who wants to bring people together. Until this changes, you should not judge him based on the few immature people who support him whom he does not even know!!! Obama is in no way influencing people to act like idiots! If you think so then please explain how.....................

careful Johnny..you don't want to talk down to pardons too heavily, not when George Walker Bush is your idol.

MCcain have a lot of lobbyist but he will not say anything about it becuase his too old to remeber thing,
You are running a dirty campain.
Who cares. USA cares about how to put gas .

McCain bringing this dumb crap up proves his campaign in not full of substance. If it was then he would be attacking Obama on real issues. Real issues are obviously not important to McCain but he better get a reality check because they are important to voters. Why, because right now Americans are struggling and all McCain wants to do is nit pick about Obama's staff? This is going to come back and bit him in his buttocks. His inability not to stay on task in this campaign proves what kind of President he would be, all over the place. We need a President who is about business not nonsense.

OBAMA 08!!!

Instead of trying to dismantel Obama's campaign, McCain should be devoting his time and energy to the issues and the nation's concerns. This negative attack on Obama has proven to be diasterous for Hillary....apply the same tactics expecting different results is truly senile and insane. Has he read the latest national polls results? Keep it up McCain and watch the numbers register in the Obama column.

Talk about your old-bitterman debate. John, don't be mad at the Democrats when your own party cast you aside and went with Dubya. If you want to be made at someone, be mad at yourself for lacking the spine to take on the Bush campaign and win.

You used to be someone who did what was right no matter what your party said. Now you are a bitter old man who saw his once real shot at president slip away 8 years ago. Just because you say it will be a clean campaign, doesn't make it so. Now, tell us what was said in your secret fundraiser with George Bush. Tell us again why the military men and women don't deserve a college degree. Tell us again why the date that we leave Iraq is unimportant. Tell us again how you are encouraged by the Iraqi president (while he is having meetings with Iran).

Your ideas and your party are old school. Maybe some more practice with your green screen and your teleprompter are in order, but you handled that like you handle everything....."it is too hard, I'm going back to the old way!" No wonder you want to have another shot at winning our era's Viet Nam.

Bud McFarlane serves on the board of Aegis Defence Services and Iraq war profiteer, and is an adviser to Senator McCain. He was pardoned by Reagan for his involvement in the Iran-Contra scandel. If you don’t remember that, we were actually GIVING IRANIANS ARMS – via ISREAL – for money to suport Nicguran rebels, who would, presumably, set up a nice litte puppet regime for us.

So take this all in- Reagan pardond McFarlane who sold weapons to Iran, a country McCain wants to invade, and this man, McFarlane is on the board of a company who’d stand to profit by us invading Iran.

And McCain is pointing fingers at a guy who’s only dealing with oil from Iran while taking advice from a guy who’s been involved in selling weapons to them?

Seems like he might be trying to redirect our attention? Maybe?

McCain is right – the answer is eliminating all who's guilty of bad judgement or mistakes – given that Iraq was a mistake / bad judgement, McCain should be go – game over, Obama's president! See how easy that was?

Independent June 12th, 2008 2:41 pm ET

McCain has nothing to talk about. It's stunning to see the difference in the tax proposals. How can people vote for this guy after seeing the tax breaks he gives for the wealthiest?

-------------------------------–

Sen. McCain gives tax breaks to all Americans, something Sen. Obama does not. Matter of fact, Sen. Obama severely penalizes the rich, and rewards the poor. I'll let everyone draw their own conclusions on how that is not proper thinking, or what his motivations are.

** Nader/Gonzalez 2008 **

Oh Obamabots-boo hoo!-If you don't like the fire stay out of the kitchen-I love how all the bots defend him!-his righteousness and holier than thou attitude is getting him in hot water-Why not either stick with someone or don't appoint him/her at all-stop the Filp Flopping!!!-This is BO's M.O.-He's going down in Nov.-can't wait for it!!!

Give the Repubs and McCain a break. Slime is all they know and they know how to get the main stream media to shovel it for them. CNN/FOX soon you won't be able to tell the difference. With everything that is going on today, this is what is on the ticker. News that won't help the problems facing Americans. NEWS YOU CAN'T USE. CNN, "The Best Political..." Yeah Right!

MCCAIN SHOULD HAVE RAN TO EUROPE WITH MR. RICH. MCCAIN IS KEATING 5 AND HE DID THE SAME THING AND WAS PARDONED OR HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN JOHN MCCAIN.

"It is important to know all we can about each candidate. This includes whom they surround themselves with."

If that is the case, then McCain should really shut up..he does NOT want folks digging into the backgrounds of the people that he surrounds himself with!!!!

the ever-self-serving warmongering so-called "hero"

has the NERVE to question someone's credentials,

who'd have thunk it!

Pukey Republicans are nauseating! How about Black? Come on CNN you ol' repub site,report on them.

This is total nonsense! Who is vetting the vetters of McCain's potential VP candidates? Does he even have a team, or is he just too busy trying to tear Obama's apart? Utterly ridiculous!

This is a non-issue from a VP search perspective.

Bill Clinton issued the pardon ... are you trying to tell me that Eric Holder ... commanded the President of the United States?

How silly these republicans are ....

If Christ was still walking around in the flesh, I bet he would say as we should say: "He without sin, let him cast the first stone." In that case, the white house as well as the voters would have to dismiss.

I don't know who is telling McCain all of these things because at his age, I know he can't remember.

I'm mad now!!!
So Mr. Holier than thou McCan't is trying to get rid of Obama's committee? How about cheating on your first wife to date Cindy and getting married to her a month after your divorce was final. I'm sick of this dinosaur!!!

are you kidding me?!?!?!??!!??! MCLOBBYIST is pointing fingers?!?!?!?!!?

typical GOP tactic--you know you cant run on your unpopular issues, so attack your opponent first on anything. you've got to deflect the attention from your FAR WORSE AND DANGEROUS actions and ideas.

you're an election too late, mcneocon, the vast majority of americans will not fall for your party's pathetic tactics. you bore and insult us!

McCain, is this the best you can come up with? Some volunteer on Obama's VP search? What about the issues? What about all of your mistakes?
By the way, if the Republicans go after Michelle Obama, they had better watch out because Cindy McCain will become fair game too. Let's see, drugs addiction...that's enough to start.

ENOUGH!!!! This is getting insane. Soon there will be no one left on either candidates staff.

Can we please get back to reality.

It would be very nice if this election was about issues and the problems that facing the American people in everyday life.Instead of
this constant bickering of he said she said
How about if Senator Obama said he will try and help with the Gas
problem and Senator McSame said he will try to do better that would
sound better in my ears more than who is who and who is not in
politics.this election is about us the people who are suffering
who can't afford to buy gas never mind FOOD and McSame is there
talking a whole lot of garbbage he want to wake up and face reality
I dont even think he knows how much is a gallon of gas

Rovian and Limbaughnian smear tactics will no longer work.The scumbags have been exposed for what they are.People are fedup with them.One out of two of them could be in an Orange jumpsuit soon.McCain should distance himself from Rove and fast.

I am really sorry for John McCain. You can certainly do better than this. Don't let me think that your age and health is failing you.

And one good advice: don't be a joke. You are sounding more and more like a local government politician but I think what you are vying for is the White House.

Obama is talking about policies and explaning them into details. Now before you realize he will be taken serious and you will not. It will be too late to catch up then. Remember what happen to Hillary Clinton in the Dem Primaries? She lost because she took Obama serious when it was already late to do so.

Take Obama serious now and start talk about issues and don't talk about what Americans don't really care for.

A word to a wise is enough.

Who's on McCain's VP search committee? I think instead of attacking Senator Obama on something like this – he needs to be getting himself together for the debates and town hall meeting .

THIS OLD MAN HAS NOTHING BUT DIRTY POLITICS! We want to hear how you are going to create more jobs, improve health care and lower these gas prices McSame... Stay out of the dirt and tell the 527s to do the same since you told us that you will be running a CLEAN campaign.

I really don't want to sound negative, but unless you are really rich then you should not be voting for Mccain. Tell me one thing that he has offered that would help the average or even above average family out. This guy is running off the fact that he faught in a war. That is it. He tried to gain ground talking about the war and it didn't work. He tried the economy and it didn't work. He didn't even act like he knew anything about heathcare (mines went up 14% for my family and I since last year). All that he has left is this none since. I personally hopes Obama picks the general for his V.P., but if Mccain keeps this up Obama just might suck up his pride and take Hilary just to make it a blow out. If you are still hating on Obama you have to be at least a just a little racist. So if you work for Macain and is reading these just to see how the people feel..... remember this we care about the facts not the people helping the people. At least his wife shared the money with Democrates and built a library now how bad is that.

wow... these comments are so full of vitriol and hatred that i simply would not want to identify myself with the kind of person who seems to support Obama. you all support a candidate for "change" and for the "better good", but you all are so full of hatred...

the people in this country disappoint me daily.

What else do you expect from McCain. When he is a war-profiteering clone of Bush and has the same policies what else can he do but go after everyone else. He hasn't a decent record of his own to stand on.

He is an old man with old ideas. Retire John and go spend your wife's millions.

McSame...you must not have any substance to your own campaign...even you are completely focused on Obama rather than on what YOU have to offer. I find it funny how much these other candidates can't even come up with their own slogans...they have to come up with 'play offs' from Obama's. That kind of strategy just shows me how much credit they are really giving Obama...he must have something good if all the others are willing to use the same things and focus so much attention on him.

OMG off issue again. Today in NH, I saw why ppl are saying he loses his temper easily. Thats what exactly happened when an old man asked him a Q.

He is trying to get Obama into the mud because neither McCain or the Republicans can afford to talk about the issues that are important to America. Stay out of the mud Obama and let McCain destroy himself.

oh the nerve of Insane Mccain!

It's ironic that a member of the Keating 5 would slam someone else for their shenanigans.

Lets Bring all the skeletons out of the Closet us Americans need to know , who we have abusing there office! I'm waiting for Obamas skeletons to come out as we know they will!

Oh McCain, please keep my mind occupied with things that don't matter right now. That'll definitely get you my vote in November.

Sarah, it's over, Hillary has lost the primary election.

I'm paid $4.15 a gallon to fill up my gas tank to get to work!!! I could care less about Obama's VP vetters!!
P.S.As long as they don't choose Hillary, inc

Hey, all of you Clinton-supporters who claim you are going to vote for McCain...

How come you are not commenting on this article?

Maybe because McCain is oddly somehow trying to attack Obama for an action taken by Bill Clinton?

This proves that McCain would have savaged Hillary if she were the nominee.

Don't forget McCain once joked about Chelsea being ugly at a GOP fundraiser and he also voted to impeach Clinton.

I challenge the press to investigate which "hand-me-down" advisor from Ted Kennedy wrote the latest Obama statement on taxes and economy. My guess he's white, rich and when the press starts looking at record, he probably has very little credential on fiscal policy.

It is important to know all we can about each candidate. This includes whom they surround themselves with.

You Sen. McCain dare talk about Obama's judgment? Where are you with Iraq war? what about you campaign team full of lobbyists? Sharon in Mi.. you are absolutely right. What about the sleazy Phil Gramm?

Is McGrumpy at it again? How about we revisit his questionable judgement with respect to the savings and loan debacle? Yes, it's far in the past but demonstrates bad judgement.

Smells like desperation to me. Not to mention going back on his word to keep the campaign out of the dirt.

I'm sick of MCcain. You are too old to be doing this. OBAMA can be your daughter's age.
Please respest your self.
You need to go back home. You are running Bush term.
I will never vote for you

I thought he should be busy coming up with answers to the economy?

Is this McCain's strategy? Point fingers fast and hard enough to divert attention from the number of people in your campaign with bad histories?

Remember in a debate with Hillary Clinton, Obama brought up the
fact that Bill Clinton Pardoned Marc Rich and made a big deal of it.

Now the shoe is on the other foot, GOOD FOR McCAIN.

AND YOU THINK OBAMA IS READY TO BE PRESIDENT??

NO WAY

Is this Silly Season already?

Go OBAMA

I remember when we wasted a lot of time discussing the size and shape of the negotiations table in Paris (US and Viet Nam).

Of course, if Senator McCain had his way he would not have talked with our enemies.... but he would have been great at spending months talking about the table dimensions.

Is this really his way of leading? Are these really his most important issues? Is this what the presidency has become?

Now, you wonder why the republican wanted Sen. Hillary Clinton to the democrate nominee.

Next thing you know, he's going to attack Caroline Kennedy. What a loser.

The clintons pardoned many – FYI

Maybe they need to fight back and bringing to light all the lobbyists in McCain's advisors.

The people they are talking about helping finding a VP are different than your top advisors.

Guess I'm voting for Barr too.

He seems like the only person who wants to talk issues.

ENOUGH ALREADY...McCain needs to focus on the issues at hand, not vetters! What's his plan for his gas tax, our economy, helath care, our troops especially since he it isn't important to him when they are coming home!! Focus on the issues McCain or do you not have any sollutions so you chose to distract with non issues. Besides who is the latest lobbyist to be let go. Can we also say Phil Graham?!!

Just a thought but why is it all these people who are writing all the mess about Obama in these blogs do not give names or facts? If all these people have all this bad information on him why is it they do not show people where they are getting this information? I submit it is because they are worried that it will not stand up to a fact test by others, I also submit it is just a ploy by the famous Republican fear and smear people to divide the nation. It should would be nice to have an election based on the issues, based on facts and not based on personal attacks. That will never happen, we are not ready for a serious debate on issues, we still want to play these little childish games, sad, very, very sad.

Having a man surrounded by lobbyists and the right wing of wing tell Senator Obama how to pick his VP candidate is "interesting".
I remember when John McCain talked about a respectful campaign that he would run without personal attacks and innuendo–That lasted about as long as an icicle in August in Crawfor Texas.

did you hear him say anything about the iraq report that the iraqis do not want the US of A on their soil?

did he say anything about why he didn´t vote for the GI Bill after he, among others, gave the ok to go to war----warmonger, and people think of him as a viet nam hero? NOT

Obama, top of Harvard University´s graduates

where did mc c end up-or I should say down-at the naval academy?

No issues whatsoever from this guys mouth, only garbage and nonsense, please go away Rhinestone Hero, google it and find out.

HOW DO YOU SPELLING KEATING??? this is not someone who is on some kind of a committee. KEATING KEATING KEATING for every negative word out of mcbush's mouth i would say KEATING KEATING KEATING. OR, "i don't know anything about the economy" OR "taking our troops out of an illegal war that should see bush and all his people impeached and imprisoned doesn't mean anything.

What do we expect from old man with old politics, McCain needs to be ashame of its self. McCain is a losser.

I was disappointed when he was nominated, but after watching and listening to him the past few months – theres no way I could ever vote for this guy.

Barr '08

Way to go Sen. McStupid. Attack Michelle. Attack Eric Holder. Attack, attack, attack.

In the meantime people with brains will ignore these silly attempts to avoid a discussion of real issues. You and your neocon, neo-nazi, racist, insecure repug followers will see that you will not be able to fool the American people this time. This is our country and we are taking it back.

"aware said June 12th, 2008 2:45 pm ET

Go McCain the American hero in touch with mainstream America!

Obama is just more of the same old Washington politics. It is too bad that he lacks character, judgment and integrity. He is not the change America can believe in! "

Aware, well whoever you are, you can't be serious.lol Please tell me you're being facetious???? Ummm McCain's staff is filled with some of the most corrupt people in politics. Why isn't MSM discussing his staff?????

who cares? they're advisors for a VP search.... not cabinet members.

Wanna talk about the henchmen in Bush's administration? Cheney ties to Halliburton etc???

how about Cindy's tex records?

McCain knows that he will lose if he were to speak about the issues so he targets people asked to help choose Obama's VP – how very telling of McCain's lack of substance.

It is also indicative of the republican tactic of using distractions to move away from their mismanagement and misuse of power over the last 8 years.

I am so sick of this nonsence. McCain needs to find something else to do. All he does is attack Obama and his campaign over and over again. We are tired tired tired of his nonsense. Who is going to help me warm my house this winter while the gas prices are sky high. What is going to be done the price of food? WHY IN THE HELL DO WE NEED TO HEAR THE STUPIDITY THAT MCCAIN IS DISHING OUT. ENOUGH ALREADY. THE PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOUR PERSONAL ATTACKS ON OBAMA. WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT THESE CRISISES. WHEN ARE THE BOYS IN IRAQ COMING HOME? IF YOU CAN'T HELP US, GET OUT OF THE RACE.

Who cares about this!! John McCain is going for dirt and will just get himself dirty in the process. The American public wants a change from this type of politics. Please, CNN, don't give credit to this garbage by printing it.

Aware I think you should have read the rest of the blog before you post something so stupid as go Mc Cain you in touch with mainstream America. The man could not be more out of touch if he tried!

As to your empty hate post with no facts to back up you statements why don't you go read and educate yourself then come back to CNN and post again!

Okay McSame you are ridiculous. With all the corrupt people surrounding your campaign, are you sure you want to go there?? I'm sure Obama has plenty to say about the people in your campaign but has tried to have some restraint. I hope he just lets it all come out now. I love the way Obama has been fighting back and I don't think McSame ever expected it.

This is great, because it makes it perfectly legitimate for Obama to go after the hundreds of lobbyists in McCain's campaign, as well as KEATING FIVE...

Bring it on McCain... you will wish you never run for president!

Charlie Black, McCain's campaign advisor, is a lobbyist with connections to some of the most brutal terrorist regimes in the world. Watch your back Mr. Black, the O train is coming your way.

lets see..... im just waiting for the obama zealots so i can find out how this too is hillary clinton's fault.

mcsame you should be the last person to criticize, afterall did you not marry your second wife four weeks after your divorce? he who is without sin cast the first stone you conservatives.

Everything going on in the midwest, why is McCain talking about a VP committee...How is this important to Americans, and why is the republican campaign vetting these individuals. They should be working on their own VP candidate.

You are so unaware, Mr. "aware" . McCain in touch with mainstream America? Give me a break. He is a millionaire and has been, mostly because of his wife, for years. He probably wouldn't even know how to pump his own $4 gas. He doesn't care about the economy because it doesn't affect him. He gets the tax breaks. Obama came from nothing and worked his way up because of education, hard work and integrity. He's had to pay back student loans, he's worked in the communities that this economy affects, he's currently raising a family who's future he is concerned about. That's what America is about. McCain doesn't care about our future. He's already pushing 80!

Sleazy attacks from the Republicans is why I'm voting Libertarian this year.

What became of my party?

McCain has no policies so he can only go after the integrity of those surrounding Obama. If people are willing to focus on this instead of the issues, then let them have 4 more yrs of Bush. I say ignore McCain's swift boat tactics and hit him HARD on the issues. Let us just see how smart the voters really are.

Sorry Sen. McCain you are behaving like a person who is drowning, trying to get hold of any little thing on your part to stay alive! It seems you are constantly loosing your bearing! What will be must be and you cannot fool voters any more with your smears! It is hard to trust someone who flip flops so much like you!

Okay, I'm a Democrat. But I am really sick of all the stupid juvenile posts where people call McCain all those childish names like McSame, McLame, McShame, etc. Grow up people.

Here you are jumping all over McCain for going after an Obama staffer & saying how childish that is. Then you turn right around and call him those names like some 10 yr. old. I repeat, grow up. If you disagree with McCain, that's fine, but for heaven sake, write something that sounds a little more adult than the juvenile tripe I keep seeing here.

It is stuff like this constantly coming from the Obama camp that has me really struggling with whether or not I can support him in November. If he attracts such a bunch of lemmings, that kind of scares me a little.

@JFK...if you think Obama is 'full of scandal' then McCain is buried in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a desperate man will create diversions from his own inabilities. Mc Same, Mc Same... stick to the issues 1) economy 2) Iraq 3) S.S. 4) education and on and on.

Is this not exactly the type of Change that Obama is talking about– attack, attack and attack. Well, Hillary was a fighter too; she started focusing on the issues too late and she lost. Now, let those "bitter" Hillary supporters wait and see what they are in for- fight, and fight nasty– that is Washington EXPERIENCE!

Is the goal not for a President to bring "people" (the best) together who can carry out real solutions for this nation? Only one candidate has the dignity to do so- Obama. Given the "opportunity" this nation can count on his judgment!

If there was any doubt that McCain is just a Bush-clone, it just went out the window.

This (former) Republican is voting for Bob Barr.

McCain is really starting to become annoying. And to think I once voted for him in the primary. Now it has become hard to tell if McCain is senile or if it is more republican rhetoric.

Looks like McCain is trying to clean any filth around Obama and prepare him for the presidency

This just makes my stomach sick. At this point, i just don't see in who in their right mind would vote for a republican...especially McCain at this point. Their tactics are sickening and childish!!!!

The republicans are supposed to be the 'devout' religious group but they do nothing but act like a bunch of demons!!!!

Mr McCain you are truly PATHETIC – there are very serious issues for the next president and all you can talk about is this nonsense – talk about somebody who is out of touch – just so you can find that somebody please look in the mirror.

Why doesn't the Obama campaign slam McCain on that sleazy Phil Gramm. He is McCain's economic advisor and his hands are very dirty indeed.

Didn't Bush pardon or reduced the sentence recieved by "Scooter " Libby for outting a secret agent of ours ?. I don't recall McCain speaking out about that. And lets not begin to mention the lobbiests McCain has running around in his campaign.

McCain you're nothing but a bag if wind.

"Tell me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are"

John lets forget this Buddy........how about the Economy, Peace and withdrawl in Iraq? How about the People who 'TODAY' are being foreclosed on ??? Now that's HUGE. The selection committee for Obama's VP spot really doesn't seem very IMPORTANT when compared to issues we AMERICANS have. You need to drop this before The REVISITING of the KEATING FIVE lifts its ugly head again ...MY FRIEND. BE CONSTRUCTIVE ...MY FRIEND...NOT DESTRUCTIVE.

McCain should stop throwing stones... he might just find a land slide of bolders heading his way!

Someone should remind McCain that the people he has around him supported and advocated for a war based on LIES!

Do something about that horrid comb-over...EGAHADS!

McCain is going to lose in November because of his own self. He is identical to Bush and just as dirty. He doesn't know how to campaign with a good speech. He says something and then grins like a little kid. Politics is all dirty business. If he can't make promises to clean up Washington and come up with a new plan instead of Bush's, he needs to bow out now. I would also like to comment on Michelle Obama. I am white and am now finally proud of this country for making progress in all the hatred for blacks. I'm sure she has always loved the US but hated how people treated each other and can now see that people are finally changing. I'm a Republican and it will really turn me off and others to see her as a target for dirty work.

I liked McCain in 2000, but who the heck is this guy? He's lost in distractions, intangibles, vague and potential links, while we pour a fortune into Iraq, along with our kids' blood. McCain, quit worrying about what opinions your rival's staff held way back in the day and worry about how to FIX OUR ECONOMY today. We're hurting here, you fool, get your priorities straight.

McCain is pushing to see if Obama is a wus like Kerry. Typical polititcal nonsense from the straight-talk express.

Go back home to Arizona and talk to people in your hometown If they do care about this. Sir...... probably you don't even read this because you don't know how to use Computer.

Wow this is really big news and really important. If we can fix this, we can surely take care of our image in the rest of the world and the pursuit of alternatiave sources of energy. You are the man John !!! Keep it up.

What a guy! Talk about old school politics... enough of the nonsense already.

If Obama, the self righteous, didn't make such a big deal about changing the way Washington does business, this would not be a story.

Obama is the super hypocrite, and is just more of the same old Washington politics. It is too bad he lacks character, judgment and integrity.

McCain the only wise choice for 08.

OLD MAN LOSING BEARINGS IN DEED
BOMB BOMB MCSAME WILL LOSE IN NOVEMBER

THESE ARE THE ISSUES WE SHOULD BE DISCUSSING
PLUS ECONOMIC ISSUES WHICH WE KNOW MCCAIN DOES NOT UNDERSTAND AND THE WAR IN IRAQ WHICH BOMB BOMB MCSAME WANTS TO CONTINUE FOR 100 YRS

McCain has a 0% pro-choice rating from NARAL and Planned Parenthood.
* He has vowed to appoint pro-life justices to the Supreme Court.
* McCain voted against reauthorizing the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) for five years.
* He voted against the restoration of the Fair Pay Act.
* McCain voted to suspend the Family and Medical Leave Act in 1993.
* He voted to shut down the Title X family-planning program, which provides millions of women with health care services ranging from birth control to breast cancer screenings.

LOSER

I know obama doe not engage in negative campaigning. But just for once I would like him to get some huevos and go after mcbush, Just once go after him and have a proactive campaign instead of an reactive one. Just once please.

It seems like McCain is going to borrow the kitchen sink from Hillary.

I thought McCain wanted to run a clean campaign. I guess "clean" means something else entirely to McCain. By the way, why isn't he talking about the economy or Iraq? Those are the issues that voters care about. I thought you were different John McCain.

If you want to go there, Senator McCain, I have one name for you: Phil Gramm.

Now, can we please talk about issues? Please?

No wonder McCain hasn't found a VP yet, he probably told his VP vetting team to vet Obama's vetting team instead.

And all this guy is doing is trying to help find a good VP.

McCain, you don't want people opening the door on all the filthy trash and sad excuses you have the audacity to call human beings around you.

If you vote for McCain, you're falling for the neoconservative lies and propaganda... again.

How about the McCain staff? All of them are lobbyists. He even used lobbyist money to fly around. How about using Bush for fundraisers using airforce one and tax payer money? You can;t win on issues so you focus on sleaze. American wake up.

Lame.

Keating 5 anyone?

This is ridiculous. Both McCain and Obama need to stick to the issues. ENOUGH already about their campaign staffers. I DON'T CARE. Stick to the issues and forget the staffers.

This guy make's me so sick, I wish CNN would do an article about his stance on Roe vs Wade...

To Obama supporters
First Michelle Obama criticize the Bill Clinton administration
Most of the Obama staffs worked for Bill Clinton This is the fact
Don’t ever point the finger to the family member it will back to you
Hillary 08 to Mc Cain 08

Keating Five, that's right. McCain would demand the he himself be removed from Obama's VP vetting team. McCain is not worthy of being on one of Obama's committees by his own judgment!

Give me a break. With all of the important issues facing America this yr, McCain chooses to harp on something as unimportant as a pardoning recommendation made by one of Obama's VP vetters 20+ yrs ago. How does this have anything to do w/ the Obama?

Stop slinging mud, McCain, & start talking about the issues facing Americans today.

McCain
Please stay with all the things that really matter! Stop digging for blemishes. You are talking about things that happened 25 year ago. Rive it a rest and talk about the economy and the issue the the voters care about. You are just like the rest of the Republican sleazes! No one is prefect and voters please notice that Barack does not do this and we all know he could. Has he even mentioned Keating 5? NO and there is lots more. Barack stays with the issue and not throwing dirt!

This drained the very last bit of respect I had for McCain. He has sold his soul to the devil for a chance at the Presidency. What happened to staying on the issues John? What happened to not going negative John? What about the politics of change John?

You may not realize it but the people who are leading you down this path are actually making it much harder for you to win. You should have kept to your own rhetoric and not sunk to this level.

HEY MCMOULD, THOSE POLLS DOWN.

CAN'T HANDLE THE ISSUES. START THE SLEAZE MACHINE.

OBAMA & HIS TEEM WOULD HAVE TO TIPPLE

STAFF TO GO AFTER SLEAZY BOY & HIS

SCUM BAGS. THE KEATEN FIVE, NOW THAT WAS A

CLEAN PATRIOTIC GROUP???? IF YOU CONSIDER

DIPPING IN OTHER PEOPLES MONEY CLEAN & PATRIOTIC.

couldn't post this on the other article

it's people like fred who say up is down, black is white, fiction is fact and fact is fiction who are putting this world in danger.

They think people will buy their lies because we've bought the lies of the Bush camp for the last 8 years. Well, even though some of us never bought it to begin with, the majority of reasonable people have realized by now they've been lead down the bomb strewn garden path.

The one candidate who has had 100% clarity when it comes to funding is Obama. Over a million just like me donating $100 per month until the election. Add it up. Oh, that's right, you can't add either.

The only tangible way a person can gauge a candidate's ability to manage or run anything is how they run their campaign. By this measure Obama is Secretariat at the Belmont. Any other criteria is almost pure conjecture.

This is killing me. Johnson was a volunteer, not a paid staffer, and definitely not like the McCain campaign staffers (approx half) who were PAID LOBBYISTS! And the reason why Johnson was even there was because he had already vetted so many people that he had a pretty idea on whom should or should not be considered the Dem VP. But WHY is this even something McCain is going after? Is going after the volunteer VP vetter going to make McCain better on the issues? Or is this the only real dirt he can find on Obama thus far? Its so sad to see how a once highly respected man has fallen.

Vote the Issues 08'!

Get Holder outta there.

Ok Miss Kennedy, you're next!

McCain is jabbing Obama over subprimes?

Let's remember that McCain was one of the "Keating 5" (google or Wikipedia it), heavily embroiled in the Savings & Loan debacle that cost the taxpayers billions and billions. The subprime issue pales in comparison, and Obama doesn't have his name on that.

I will vote for a young, smart Harvard graduate any day to a US Navy Academy graduated veteran for the President of the US. You have to get your basics right.

McCain you are moving from the pathetic to the annoying. For every finger you use to point at there are a thousand pointing back at you McShame.

Very interesting article. Especially when Obama touts a 'Fresh face' 'Untainted' appeal to voters. He seems to be hiding quite a bit with his shady 'advisors'
Where are all of his utopian plans laid out by the way? If someone could direct me to the right place on his website where he actually HAS long term, possible plans please! Enough with talking, I want to see things down on paper-a plan. Not a utopian idea. Don't cut us more stimulus checks! That's how third world countries work and operate–I would know, I was raised in the third world!

So much for 'New' politics. Looks alot like the same old thing, Kennedy, Dean, Kerry, Dodd, etc. are hardly what I'd call
washington outsiders. Of course, this won;t make any difference to those who've already drank the kool-aid but to the rest of us it shows what a hypocrite this guy is. I finally figured out why the Obamabots hate the Clintons. If your under age 30, you weren't really aware of politics during the 90's being anywhere from 14 on down when Bill Clinton was first elected. So all these kids remember is the right wing slur campaign against the Clintons and these kids believe all of it. Showing how truly gullible they are. I'm sure this post will disappear because its reasoned and accurate and is against Obama.

I taught we suppose to discuss the issues.

The economy, the war in Iraq and so on.

This is no personality contest.

It is about the issues affecting America.

And here comes Operation Chaos in 5...4...3...2....1, we will not vote for Obama; Brian TN will take over from here, followed by Charlotte. LMAO

If you are a Hillary supporter, how in your right mind can you even THINK about voting for John McCain. McCain is opposed to everything Hillary is for. Don't be spoiled babies and ruin it for the country because you like Hillary better than Barack. Vote Democratic.

Pretty weak, McCain.

Oh no I won't vote for Obama because someone on his VP search committee supported a Clinton pardon in the 90's?

Good LORD!

Bill Clinton pardoned the man, not Barack...and really who cares about who is on a search committe? He isn't signing anything into law...a NON ISSUE...

The Republicans should really be worried that this is the type of stuff that THEIR nominee wants to focus on......I feel sorry for the RNC..they don't have a candidate that they like either so they have to focus on everything OBAMA..even they are mesmerized by him!!!!

I guess he'll be going after Caroline Kennedy next...he'll trying to keep picking off Obama's VP committee members so that time will run out and they'll be ill-prepared...NOT going to happen GRAMPS!!!!

All he needed was a green backdrop to drive the nausea a little deeper!!!!

mind your own camp.mcsame!black is still on your dozens of lobbyists still working for your camp.you are trying everything in the kitchen ,just like the clintons tried,and you dont get it,the more you attack negatively,the more support you lose.start campaigning with some integrity or kiss this election goodbye.the people are sick of do-nothing ,negative politicians ,that have been in office forever,and never get anything substantial done.you should do some research on the true meaning of honor.apparently your military experience taught you nothing about truth and honor.you have become a liar like bush!

This coming from a man who believes bringing our troops home is not too important. This suggests he cannot stand toe to toe with Obama on the issues, he is using the old smear and misdirection tactic.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An analysis of both campaigns proposals by the Washington-based, nonpartisan Tax Policy Center found that for people with incomes between $66,354 and $111,645, Obama's proposals would cut their taxes by more than $1000, compared to around $300 under McCain's plan. But for Americans with incomes above $603,402, Obama would raise their taxes dramatically, by more than $115,000 a year, while McCain would cut them by $45,000.

A product of Washington Post. BTW, because I'm referencing another news source ('cause CNN can be neutral), this keeps getting wiped out.

I DARE the moderator to post this!

Go McCain the American hero in touch with mainstream America!

Obama is just more of the same old Washington politics. It is too bad that he lacks character, judgment and integrity. He is not the change America can believe in!

Oh boy...here we go AGAIN with the Neo-Con's resurrecting the 90's and the Clintons!!!

I'm so grateful Clinton isn't in this thing anymore because we would never hear the end of it.

Barry (Chicago)
I am furious too – McCain is going to go after Caroline Kennedy next.

Barry, if you aren't going to vote for Obama, vote for a third party candidate. We need a third party. I'm an independent with conservative leanings, but for me Obama is way ahead of the curve on taxes, Iraq, energy policy and health, etc. I have kids, so I have to do what's right for them.

Sure John, keep up the absurd mud-slinging at Obama. Are you sure that you don't want to question everyone connected to Obama about whether they can all get into Heaven?

John McCain, You're a pitiful human being.

Way to deflect from the fact that his own lack of foreign policy experience has been exposed. Being a POW is a highly respectful thing but it does not foreign policy experience make...just ask General Wesley Clarke.

I've been saying this all along but no one listen's to me. Meanwhile, I've got about as much foreign policy experience as McCain. My husband was in Desert Storm, My dad was in Vietnam and my grandfather was in WWII. Doesn't that suffice??

tell it to your lobbyist....

I really thought Mcain had something to say that would help us with gas, jobs, and Iraq. But what I heard so far is silly things. If the job for Pres. is so important? Why do Mcain bring up silly points to debate about.
Is this what a War Veteran really want to be remeber for?!!!!! ???????

sir can you stick to the real issue. I paid 4.25 a gallon. I am about to loss my house, that is B.S.

Well, why don't we take a close look at everyone who has ever been within a 50-mile radius of John McCain? I'm sure they're all perfect angels.

Lil,

Mccain makes me sick, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sad. McCain please talk about the issues. I have no desire to live in a society that acts like High School and name callings. Find dirt. No one including you (McCain) is going to be clean. Need we bring up Keating 5. Basically all I see is one that wants to avoid solving the big picture.

mccain makes me really sick, he really has lost his "bearings" and is extremely confused....makes me sad for him and his party!!!

Obama's campaign should point out that John McCain wants to overturn Roe v. Wade (go to his website johnmccain.com) – that should be something everyone needs to consider when voting this november. Do we really want super conservative supreme court justices? Do we want someone who has as a priority to overturn Roe v. Wade?

Um, as long as we're COMPLETELY off campaign subjects, anyone remember Keating Five???

McCain must be desperate. He's even speaking a little different these days. Stepping of the pace of your worthless rhetoric won't help you, Senator.

Senator McHypocrite is at it again.

Out of one side of his mouth he tells you how pure he is.

Out of the other side of his mouth he contradicts himself.

At some point he has to reconcile his multiple personalities.

I don't know why Obama even needs a 'vetter' ... clearly it should be Clinton.

McCain has nothing to talk about. It's stunning to see the difference in the tax proposals. How can people vote for this guy after seeing the tax breaks he gives for the wealthiest?

If thats all McCain can come up with to attack Obama and not stick to the issues then hes in really big trouble.

No one cares about this its the issues, issues, issues.

This is so stupid

Are we doing re-runs now?

"Experience VS Conservatism"

Senator McCain: I can cross the aisles! I know how the game is played!

Senator MCain: I speak for the American people and by the American people!

Senator McCain: People want change with leadership!

Conservatism: Well Senator, you couldv'e changed it in the year 2000.....

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

O LORD, WE NEED A SHOWER EVERY TIME

MCMOULD MAKES A SPEECH. HE DOESN'T

CARE FOR US, OUR TROOPS, THE ECONOMY,

JUT TO BE A BIG MAN. HAS DEFINITELY HAS THE

NAPOLEON COMPLEX & DEMENTIA.

Obama is full of scandal and no talent to back up his run for this office.

This is ridiculous. McCain, who is drowning in lobbyists, thinks that he can say ANYTHING about Obama's VP search team?

Remove the log from your own eye before you go after the mote in someone else's eye.

More smere campaigns, pathetic! What a lieing hypocrite he said he wants to stay away from this sort of campaigning, what happened to focusing on the issues Mccain??

I think it's time some Dems brought up his contacts and their backrounds...

Since when does McCant have any right to tell Obama what to do?
Who the HE– does he think he is? Judas priest! Another frigging demagogue. It is none of his dam business!
These people aren't running for any position in Obamas cabinet.
They are simply looking up info on VP candidates.
Geez!
Anything for a headline, huh?

Mccain makes me sick.

I THINK YOU ARE OVERLY OBSESSED WITH THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN. THAT IS ALL YOU HAVE IN YOUR MEMORY AND THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE SUFFERED SO MANY MISSTATEMENTS ON THE TRAIL.
RESERVE SOME OF YOUR MEMORY FOR ECONOMICS 101

Gads.

I guess since he knows he's lost on the important issues now he thinks he can sway people with the little stuff.

Its not gonna work. Mr. McCain. Its not going to work.

Just admit you don't know what you're doing at all and lets all vote for Obama.

Obama 08 12

I am a Hillary Clinton supporter, who is unhappy with Obama, but after reading this story, I am furious. Who cares about the VP search committee??? If John McCain really wants my vote, start dealing with the important stuff.

I used to respect McCain. Half his actual campaign staff has more stuff on them then these guys. It's amazing. The folks that McCain is attacking are smarter and have more integrity than McCain himself.

McCain is making us angry with his hypocrisy.

O.K. this why he can't CONCENTRATE on his speeches, now it's clear why the republicans has another republican running against McCain.

Obama 08

Give it a break already....we have important issues to deal with...this is nonsense.

HERE COMES THE SLEAZE.

MCBUSH USING THAT CARL ROVE BOOK.

HOW INDEPENDENT OF HIM.

WE ARE GOING TO BE IN SLEAZY LAND

FOR THE DURATION OF THE CAMPAIGN.

McCain insists he wants to run a clean campaign...but here he is, bringing up nonsense that serves no purpose other than to distract voters from the truth – that Obama is widening his lead and running away with the election months before it even happens.

That's right try to take the focus off of IRAQ.
