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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.
