McCain would Stomp Obama simply by sticking to the issues.

The Obama team continues to smear and use fear and divisiveness, the standard democrat routine to divert from the issues because they know McCain would eat him alive.

As for rabid and crazy followers, Obama wins that battle with ease. His "rock star" persona is concerning to many voters who won't vote with their emotions, but with their common sense.

McCain invited these attacks by flip flopping in the primaries, pandering to the far right by promising to:

– Appoint only conservative judges, rather than the most qualified
– Make the Bush tax cuts permanent (remember, the one's he said "bothered his conscience" – guess his conscience is dependant on who he needs votes from)
– Claims to support the troops, but then did not support the new GI Bill, that received 75 yes votes (bipartisan). And he didn't even have the guts to show up and vote against it – he just slinked out of town when the vote came up.
– Says he's against mistreatment of prisoners, but wants to hold US Citizens indefinitely in Cuba without giving them their constitutionally guaranteed rights.

Now the new found "environmentalist" wants to make drilling in environmentally sensitive areas a centerpiece of his energy plan. The environmentalist who, by the way, has not voted in favor of a single piece of environment legislation in 2 1/2 years. What do you call it when you flip flop and then flop back again?

Neo-con in sheep's clothing, champion flip flopper, major league panderer, and crawl out of towner rather than stand up and be counted.

So, why would I vote for this guy?

McCain, upon returning from Vietnam had numerous affairs during his marriage to his first wife (who was disfigured in a car accident on Christmas Eve while McCain was staying at the Hanoi Hilton), before setting his sights on the current Mrs. McCain who was younger, prettier, and richer than his current wife at the time. He then divorced his wife and the mother of his children for Cindy, whom he married one month after his divorce was finalized.

Cindy thought nothing of messing around with a married father of three.

Still, I respect his comments here, because they're free of partisanship and bitterness.

"Huckabee is a breath of fresh air within the republican party. I like his positive populist message. Other republicans should try to be fro something and not against something."

He's against many things (gays, women's right to choose, separation of church and state) and he has NOTHING in common with Obama. Are you kidding me?!

Huck has the right attitude..judge someone individually.

Also Obama is not "hiding" his middle name. The GOP goons were emphasising it sarcastically and THAT is what was deemed inappropriate. I don't care what his name is. I don't care what religion he is. Those that do are backward bigots who are being laughed at by the rest of us who have an education. Just like we look back and laugh at men who didn't want women voting some years back.

And to bitter Hillary supporters: you never would have heard of her if not for Bill. Get over it. She lost the delagate count. Period.

And to McCain supporters: this will be one of the biggest losses for the GOP in history.

Say NO to Obama.

McCain 2008/Hillary 2012

Republican Party has and always will harbor the bigots and racists of this country. They ve looked the other way when these bad people behave badly.

I wouldn't except less from their members than a whole lot of race based insults against Obama the election.

Proud backwards people are destroying this country's future.

Obama 08/12

As a matter of fact... there is a city in Japan named Obama so I am not surprise by this remark.

Obama... don't trust Huck nor the GOP!

I just don't believe anything this guy says. He is so FAKE and loves to be in the spotlight.

Obama is "biolgically" white and black (which as indicated above is scientific nonsense); however, for all circumstances which we consider race relevant in our society – experience, treatment from others, traditions, cultural preferences – he is black. You will note that i did not include physical appearance because historically that has never been a determinant in the West nor is it a sensible one, because a mixed child can come out looking "black" or "white" even in the same family. And so a standard hinging mainly on physical appearance would not be instructive in any way as concerns race, i.e. you couldn't draw any conclusions based on race (as you may surmise when it is an identifier for cultural affinity).

So his blackness in whole comes in the main from his biological "black" half and a cultural context, and from his appearance. These are the beliefs of one black man.

I will never vote for him, but i appreciate him saying that

ps: did the republicans ever think about the fact tha going negative can backfire? Imagine how many African Americans who never vote will come out in droves not just only to vote for Obama, but because they are so angry about the racist tactics fo the Repubs.....we shall see in November!

Good for him. It will be hard for Rush and his cronies to throw Obama in the mud with people like Huckabee calling them to account for it.

Even though some people in BOTH parties won't like it, politics is headed for the high road in this country, whether the mudslingers like it or not.

Me, I'm retired. Worked hard and smart for 40 years. Saved my money. Paid my own way. Raised two kids and put them through college. Proud to see them as responsible adults, also willing to pay their own way. Voting for John McCain, the responsible (not "something for nothing") candidate.

Truth of the matter is that there is no way I'm going to let something as pathetic as the amount of pigment, PIGMENT people!, in someones skin change how I see them. Senator Obama has been consistent and he honestly believes in his message. We desperately need what he says he will do. I believe he will do it. Though he will make mistakes because he is no more or less human than any one of us, but he will try and he will try his hardest. That is what counts. History remembers the ones who gave it their all to change the status quo.

America finally has someone who has stepped up as a rallying point... a leader who wants to change things and I believe that transcends any sort of party line. It goes deeper than that. First and foremost, before political, gender, religious differences, we are all Americans. I have never been prouder of this country than watching a Jr. Senator with so little political experience do what he has done and bring people together and excite them the way that he has.

God Bless America
