CNN

After having read all the comments on this article I am extremely disapponted. Only two or three comments are worth reading- the others I am surprised that CNN feels appropriate to share. All the name calling and discrimative comments would indicate that the majority of these voters are not selecting their candidate on the basis of their ability to lead and to effect the change we need in this country that we all love. I am an avid Democrat but do not like the comments and laughs about McCain's age. I can only imagine what hurt some of these comments are to the mature individuals in this country and also to those who have illness or body failures that require them to need depends, etc. Has nothing to do with McCain's ability to lead or his contributions to this country. As far as those that feel it appropriate to speak disgracefully about his military service they should have to serve and live as a POW – no matter what the conditions, it couldn't have been pleasant. I have to agree with one of the comments above that said Obama's following is mean spirited. Michelle Obama is right this is a mean country. Young people should think about their parents, grandparents and elders before throwing such blows-it doesn't speak well of their judgement to do otherwise. Let us knowledgably and intelligently discuss the issues and expect that the candidates do the same. I am a Hillary follower who has changed over to Obama's camp – after the above comments I may reconsider. Discrimation has changed from gender to age-this is sad.

I have equal respect for both candidates, but happen to agree with Obamas' opinions over McCain's. I think McCain does have an advantage in foreign policy, but for years what has that mentality done for our country? If you are fluent in world history you will find that violence only begets more violence and history repeats itself. I did notice someone mentioned "why vote for a politician whos going to raise taxes?", the answer is simple, it will generate more money to put into programs to build up the economy, the less tax the less money the gov't has to implement new ideas, i don't think it will cost each individual much of a difference out of their pocket, the brightside is together, with each person paying more, it will have a huge impact on the US ability to spend and improve conditions. Also, Obama has stated he is planning on raising taxes in the higher tax brackets, so people already suffering won't notice much difference.

WHO IS CENSORING MY MOST WORTHY, RELEVANT 2 MESS-AGES TODAY?

APPARENTLY YOU ARE PROTECTING YOUR SAVIOUR, OBAMA ,BE-CAUSE MY WORDS NAILED HIM.

" WORDS OF WISDOM " HAVE BEEN WASTED ON A BIAS OR IGNORANCE AND NEVER AGAIN WILL I PARTICIPATE.

FIRST CHANCE I GET A COMPLAINT WILL BE ISSUED. MY MESSAGE WAS APPROPRIATE AND HAS BEEN DISCRIMINATED
AGAINST. I'VE HAD SCORES OF LETTERS TO THE EDITOR PUPLISHED, EVEN SOME ON YOUR FORMAT. GET REAL! 6/29/08

Talk about an unfortunate statement! McCain implies that his word can be trusted by saying that Obama's cannot. This is rather terrifying given how McCain had to make deep promises to the far right in order to secure the Republican nomination. How can he now look moderates in the eye while saying, "I will represent you as President." ???

Senator McCain you are completely right about that!

This lifelong Arizona Republican refuses to vote for Juan McSame, the pandering Depends clad friend of illegal alien employers. He fought hard for amnesty and lied to Republicans about how he was going to work on it. He pulled every trick in the book with Ted Kennedy to get it slammed through before the public would know about it.

However there are plenty of us that watch Juan's every move because we know that he cannot be trusted.
His $300Million "prize for a new battery for cars" is a perfect example of his pandering. Today the cost per mile for a plug in car is extremely low, and the first company that comes up with a new battery that takes mileage out far will become extremely rich in the "free market" that Juan McSame ignores.

Just a pandering old fool!

If no one wants the job give it to me. I live in Delaware my address is 2575 liberty street Wilmington,DE 19808 and my phone number is (302) 333-8649. I am unemployed and I can use that VP job to make some money to pay my college loans. I am a very good thinker a democrat that can bring good ideas to McCain and the republicans.

This seems like a risky strategy for McCain. Obama's change on campaign public financing came because Obama basically invented a new form of public financing with his small-donation-driven internet fund-raising machine. McCain's flip-flop on torture, and a host of other issues seem far more serious.

The other thing to bear in mind is that while we'd like our leaders to be right all the time, the next best trait is to recognize their mistakes and fix them. This is surely the most significant criticism of Bush is that he's never been willing to admit that Iraq was a mistake, and thus never been willing or able to make reasonable corrections. I think Obama wins this battle on flip-flopping and honesty. But else does McCain have?

pot calls kettle black (;-D)

All politicians are liars and are only in office to enrich themselves.....The people thought that the Republicans where the problem so they gave the Senate and the House to Democrats. What did we get: pork barrel spending over $600 million–$4.00 gasoline-and a house speaker that complained that her private jet was not suitable because it had to stop and be refueled. Obama says he is for change-lets tax the oil companies–did that in the 70's and we all waited in lines for gasoline-CEO's make to much money--hmm-I wish one of those high paid CEO's was running Social Security.......it would probably be solvent. When will the people learn–anytime government is involved things go to hell in a hand basket......Hey Dems you got your Congress-can't wait for $8.00 gas.

Same lines, different voice. I've heard these same charges in every campaign since 1948. I'm getting a fertilizer burn from all the B.S.

simple facts from recent BBC documentary ( Daylight Robbery) on american money in Iraq:
28 billion USD , thats public money is unaccounted for till now
un qualified and single contracts given to favourites( dick cheney etc) who made billions on cost plus contracts
qualified and big compnaies ( bechtel, parsons, haliburtons, KBR) make a nonsense of their reputation in earning good bucks in Iraq and claiming billions of dollars by doublijng their expenses shown , expenses added by sham companies in panama, luxomberg etc

Without Iraq govt approval hunt oil gets billion dollor contract with Kurd state in Iraq, Mr hunt was put in by Bush as a memeber of advisory committee which had special access on inside Iraq info.

The lady in pentagon who questioned the KBR deals was demoted and superceded

just see it and you will have an idea what has been going around for years...please be informed and choose what u want for your future

GBU America

A lot of you already said it and how true. McCain is throwing whatever he can to see what sticks. Problem is there is no substance behind it.

What a laugh. Mr. McCain has flip flopped on issue after issue. And he has the nerve to talk about trust and honest????? Either he has a short memory or he has alzheimers because he changes his views every day. And why won't he talk about solutions rather than about Obama? He has nothing new to offer.... he has no new ideas for America. All he has to offer is 4 more years of Bush ideas.

Dear John McCain,

Just do one honourable thing, vote for Barack Obama.
you will see that he is the only candidate that could be trusted because he will do whatever he says he would do.
Just cast your vote for him.

No more so than any of the other hundreds of captives who were each and every one tortured until they signed the documents put before them by the North Vietnamese.

The whole "John McCain betrayed his country in North Vietnam." campaign is the kind of low-grade, cheeseball tactic engaged in by political opponents who can't find anything legitimate with which to go at him head-on.

Voters with brains in their heads ignore smear campaigns like this one. Voters without brains in their heads get the government they deserve.

The day you get tortured for almost a decade and DON'T break is the day you can say John McCain betrayed the US in Vietnam.
Until you have been tortured as he was, you have no room to talk on what he did in Vietnam.

National Defense – who are you to tell me or any Democrat that we don't defend our Nation.

My father died for this country in Viet Nam, my brothers have served, my husband served during Desert Storm and MY OLDEST SON IS IN IRAQ NOW ANY MY YOUNGER ONE JUST ENLISTED!

I know the Republicans have painted a picture during Bushes regime that only Republicans are Christian and that only Republicans have the courage to serve in our armed forces.

You sir or madame are ignorant. The US Military is just as diverse as the US population.

I honor and respect and quite frankly expected each of my sons to serve when they came of age, and they are doing that. But don't you dare take away the honor and courage my sons and all the men of my family have showed with your IGNORANT PARTISAN CR*P!

This is rich, coming from a guy who has changed positions on all kinds of issues, most recently on offshore oil drilling. Frankly, I wish we could trust McCain's word on the issues. I trust Obama more because the campaign finance decision made a heck of a lot of sense, and was a good strategic decision.

I guess we are now at the point of the campaign when John McCain will say just about anything in order to gain political advantage.

It's fair for him to call attention to his opponent's changes of position - but a potentially dangerous maneuver for McCain - since the man has taken one seemingly principled stand after another only to vacate it when perceived political necessity seemed to demand it.

A politician hypocritical?

Tell me it ain't so.

At this point, it's become hard to believe I actually gave John McCain money in his 2000 primary run. He has REALLY been a disappointment over the last 8 years.

Wow, the height of irony and a sign of just how desperate the Old Man is getting. Maybe, like Bush and Cheney, McCain believes he can "create his own reality."

None of them people can be trusted. The constitution is broken and cannot be fix. We the people let that happen.
We the people are fighting among each other over what these politician has done to us all. Who got all the money who got all the jobs who gonna bring them jobs back. Wake up people the whole White house is stealing from all of us and we get the blame like we are using to much gas. Lets kick them all out of office and start over with a fresh people that is not on the take. Lets get a blue collar worker in there for president. get real people in there.

Karen, Missouri

You managed to hit the NAIL ON THE HEAD!
But how fitting....

The ABSOLUTE WORSE CANDIDATE THE REPUBLICANS HAVE EVER PRESENTED TO THE VOTERS.................................FOLLOWS the ABSOLUTE WORSE PRESIDENT TO BE APPOINTED BY THE PEOPLE!

GOD HELP THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!

I have to laugh he says Obama is not getting public financing. His entire campaign is being paid for by people like me (the public) a small amount at a time while McSame is getting around the system and being bankrolled by Big Oil and Big Corporates. This man has gone from a respected Maverick to a foolish old sellout in about 2 years. Very sad.

You are pathetic McSame. What about your promise to take care of the veterans? You have no room to talk at all!!!

Still waiting for my comment to appear. Will add another message now. McCain has a long way to go to catch up with Obamas flipflops.
If you want to go back to all years of McCains Senatorship to count his flips, then also give him credit for taking an unpopular but correct stand against the Bush policies and stop the misguided spin that he's another Bush! Who can ignore that being FLEXIBLE WHEN THE NEED ARRIVES is an important strength in a Leader?! McCain has the maturity and wisdom to know the difference. The whishy washy, Rookie Obama is the Strawman who takes a fickle stand and swings as is politically expedient and /or to enrich himself! He speaks with fork tongue! Disillusionist Democrat

SO McCain can't trust Obama's word?? Wasn't it McCain who opted for public financing during the primary, then ILLEGALLY used that money to secure a multi million dollar loan for his primary campaign? The committee could not get a forum to vote on the legality and whether McCain shoul face punitive action because there aren't enough committee members at this time. Guess who chairs the board to decide who can be committee members? McCain!!!

Yup, no negativie campaigning will come out of your camp right McSame! You are like a dying fish on the pier. I think we see clearly who cannot be trusted.

The only reason Obama has not changed his stance on more issues is because he has not had enough time in office to do anything other than take up space and be credited for it

just as I suspected from Liberal-Left-Obama-supporting-CNN....a great comment was entered earlier and CNN does not have the guts to post it because it spills of the truth..that's the reason I remain loyal to "fair and balanced"...and to the teacher who commented about immigrants in the education system...you go Girl! I worked in a Public Health clinic for 12 years and those "leeches" are draining the tax payers of America bone dry...free deliveries for infants conceived in Mexico...free food...free everything....arrrrrrrrggh!! My blood pressure is rising!

susie June 29th, 2008 11:00 am ET
The democrats took over congress in 2006 with words of change and Pelosi and her group has done nothing in 2 years! Obama will be the same.

Thanks for this comment, it proves that the state of the country is a direct result of the Republicans without ONE veto for 6 YEARS of the Bush administration. Now, if we can get a Democrat president, things will get done in this country.

I already knew Obama can't be trusted. It's not news.

Vote Ron Paul! Change you can TRUST in!

This coming for the biggest flip flopper ever. This man has gone against his own word on a consistent basis.

By the way McCain, how have you been paying for your campaign for the last three months? How have you paid for the new plane? Private funds, that's how. If you were truly interested in public financing, you would have pursued it consistently instead of flip flopping on the issue before deciding to go with it only AFTER Obama made his declaration.

We don't have any good candidates... McCain: too old and experienced... Obama: too young and no experience...

I'm curious about something. When sex scandals break out, why are the left wing, liberal Democrats caught with adult women; and the right wing, conservative Republicans caught with men, (not that there's anything wrong with it) and boys?

Hello, Mr. Pot, I'd like to introduce you to Mr. Kettle. You seem to have a lot in common...

I have to say that I don't mind a leader who can change with the needs as they present themself. I know that both parties like to send out the flip flop thing on each other, but I don't understand why. Times and needs of people change. As for Mc Cain saying Obama's word can not be trusted. I believe there are a few incidents where Mc Cain has been involved in some shady dealings. I'm sorry, maybe that is the "years of experience he is claiming".

Your comment is awaiting moderation.

You people who are judging McCain on the basis of his wavering political positions seem to be making a saint of Obama. You're in for a terrible disappointment if you think an electable politician will stay any direct course. They each generally move on a political course, and slightly alter that course in light of the polls. They have to be electable, and have an electable position before they can carry out a larger vision for the country. It's called politics. Don't imagine your hero Obama doesn't play this game masterfully. And his years as a politician aren't seasoned enough to be as scrutinized as McCain's. With McCain, we simply have a longer track record on which to judge him. Bottom line, they each have sufficient character and integrity to become president. Choose the direction you want for our country. Do you want a more conservative laissez-faire system of government (rely on the system more, less on the government) or do you want a more socialist one? Is a stable and free Iraq achievable and in our best interest as a nation or should we just get out? These and other major issues will decide the race, not flip flop count.

I don't need McCain to tell me that. I already know it.

And look who is telling us who cannot be trusted. One of the biggest song birds this country ever had. Shame on you Mr McSame.

In making this statement, McCain also underlines his greatest weakness, his stubborness. Metaphor time: if you're on a train, planned to take a certain track, but it is currently blocked and there is another open track, do you switch? I fail to see how adapting to changing scenarios is a weakness. I know of another president that has paved the road to hell with stubborn, blind, good intentions.

MCSLEAZO FORGETS THIS IS THE AGE OF VOD.

WE HAVE HIM LYING ON VIDEO AT LEAST 3OO TIMES.

GO TO THE REAL MCCAIN IF YOU WANT SOME LAUGHS.

HE IS NOTHING BUT A BAG OF SLIME WRAPPED IN THE

AMERICAN FLAG.

My problem is not whether I can trust Obama but more that you scare me McCain. That worries me. You've shown us what you are capable of and I dont like it. McCain=Bush!!

Whaaa!! whaaa!! Here we go again all you Liberal Democrate crying ,crying, crying, please get over it!!!!!!!!!!!! all of you on this forum!!! OBAMA cannot be trusted. That is why the Hispanic community inventually will vote for McCain because OBAMA is not to be trusted. As the Liberal Dem why OBAMA lost BIG!!in Puerto Rico because the puertorican don't trust him. Just ask the Cuban Community who going to get elected John McCain, ask the Mexican down at Texas, Ca, NM, NV, AZ, CO they will all turn to John McCain. The colombian people, the rest of the Hispanic People will vote for McCain. All of Hillary Hispanic people accept the politician will flock to McCain. Even if OBAMA put Hillary on the Ticket guess what NO DEAL!!!!! that right just say no deal. So all you morons that are for OBAMA in this forum get over it. John McCain si se prede!!!!!! Los hispanos con McCain!!!!!!!! Los puertoriquenos con McCain, la Raza Nation con McCain~!!!!!! Los Cubanos con McCain!!!!!!! Morons get over it!!!!!!!!!!

Obama's criminal friends ,Rev.Wright, Ayers, Rezko, Farrakhan, Auchi. Rev. Michael Pfleger, Khalidi.
When Obama lies he calls it (I mis spoke) he mis speakes more than any candidate ever running for president.
McCain was found not guilty in Keating...but a lot of demacrats were found guilty.
Re Iraq war:
American casulties in Iraq since war began 4,076
USA in 1 year death by accidents 97,000
leading cause of accidental deaths Motor Vehicle
well, we should get rid of all these vehicles all the people they are killing.

I trust McCain more than the fool who thinks there are 57 States, oh, I forgot he mis spoke......:)

This coming from a man who talked about protecting the environment in New Orleans only to vote AGAINST a bill helping the Everglades the very next day? This from the same man who years ago was against torture and now is for it? This from a man who had originally spoken against Falwell after 9-11 yet in recent years supported his statements?

No, Senator McCain, it is YOUR words that cannot be trusted. You have shown time and time again how you are willing to do and say anything if you think it will get you votes. You never cared about the environment until Obama started getting votes based on that. You never cared about the economy (and why should you with your 2nd wife's inheritance – the same woman you had an affair with while still married to your first wife who helped you through your time in Vietnam) until Obama started getting votes for it.

Obama has show he believes what he says and says what he believes straight through – far more than can be said about McCain.

I am a 45-year-old woman who has been reading some of the comments from Clinton supporters who will vote for McCain.

Well it was McCain's supporter who had a video on youtube that said "How do we beat the "bi_ ch"?

McCain's son is a member of a Country Club that bans women from a grill room.

During an interview with Las Vegas reporter asking why McCain did not ask Jim Gibbons to chair his Nevada Campaign.

Maybe it's the governor's approval rating and you are running from him like you are from the president?

McCain: (Chuckling) "And I stopped beating my wife just a couple of weeks ago"

Will likely change Supreme Court to the right to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Voted against equal pay for women.

According to Elizabeth Edwards, McCain's healthcare bill will discriminate against women. Edwards explains that health care insurers “‘rate-up’ my insurance bill for not only my status as a breast cancer patient, but also my gender,” noting that women are forced to pay more for health insurance

He voted against requiring health care plans to cover birth control (3/22/03).

He voted against comprehensive, medically accurate sex education (7/25/06).

He voted against international family planning funding (3/14/96).

He voted against funding to prevent teen and unintended pregnancies (3/17/05).

He voted against public education for emergency contraception (3/17/05).

And he voted against restoring Medicaid funding that could be used for family planning for low-income women (3/17/05).

A supporter of John McCain's Texan Clayton Williams once joked during his failed 1990 campaign for governor against Democrat Ann Richards. Williams compared rape to the weather, saying, "As long as it's inevitable, you might as well lie back and enjoy it." He also compared Richards to the cattle on his ranch, saying he would "head her and hoof her and drag her through the dirt."
McCain ended up cancelling the fundraiser but kept the $300,000 Williams raised for him.

The list goes on and on, there is not enough room, judge for yourself. They are all from major networks reports.

We can't wait for history. Barack Obama, the next President of the United States. The world will once again be proud of America!

With over 1.5 million small contributors like myself. I* consider that public financing. McCain wants to limit Obama's campaign ability by saddling him with $85m public finance while his surrogate will do a swift boat and Obama cannot defend himself. No thank you. Obama did the right thing. How about him borrowing money from the bank and use the campaign as collateral? He hasn't paid that loan yet. How come MSM not bringing that in the open? Where's the transparency?

Now McCain's desperation is setting in ........just like Hillary's did.....
next comes the old kithchen sink. Old politicians never change they just fade away....we hope!!!!!

"John Flip Flop McShame "he knows more about Flip Flopping that is his middle name / we must tell him since he forgot what his name is .

I think both candidates suck. To the people who think we need to drag our guys out of Iraq, you will be the biggest cry babies when you gas prices go through the roof, because Iran or someone else takes control. I want this war and really hate it, but the fact is if we do not let the army take control and make sure they are ready before we leave, someone will take control and then the little our oil prices are now will sky rocket. From what our military leaders and even the media is saying, we are almost there. Obama will bankrupt this country! You think that our political system is politically charged now, if he gets elected it will be worse. McCain is a liberal republican. He will work with both sides on issues. Why do you think most republicans don't like him? We either need someone more toward the center or a Independant party member to step up. Otherwise we will have more of the same.

When McCain holds his Town Hall meetings they go the Rest Homes and recruit people so the will be asured of at least a small crowd in attendance .

I can't Believe McCain said that.

John himself looks like a little hood.

Texas Trail Dog ...........S AY THAT AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN JOHN. YOU'RE SO RIGHT ON. THE MAN IS A CORRUPT INDIVIDUAL. SHAME ON YOU HILLARY FOR ALLOWING YOURSELF TO BE PUT UNDER THE TRAIN............Trail DOG I see you CHANGED your NAME from.........BRAIN ,Knoxville TN ............MAYBE you GUYS are Cousins! .........BACK to McSame.........John McCain has flip-flopped on all his maverick ideas, partisanship and become an extension of George Bush.
Your words ring hollow John McCain as you have sold your soul to the right

Obama is a ATTORNEY and first term Sen. lookiing for Pres. Seat. with unlimited funding from untold millions. McCain is a Military Officer
taking limited funding. Was the truth?

Look who is talking. How many times has he flip-flopped and forgotten what and where he said something?

McCain is like a stool with two legs........he will topple !!!!!!!

If Barack comes up with a better solution it's not flipflopping it's useing sound Judgment something bush should have had done. "sniff sniff" change your diaper old man.

Wow, what a variety of comments.
I just cannot understand how any intelligent voter would want
four more years of diaster. Mccain, Bush and the republicans
have almost destroyed our country with the war, unlimited,
unfunded spending, an economy that has fallen arpart,
school, medical systems broke, altering the Constitution,
and on and on and on.
And, these so called Democrats who say they are voting for
McCain, they evidently do not care about the future of our
country. Please explain to your children, grandchildren and
great grandchildren that you support a party that has made
them the victims with the largest deficit ever which they
will be burdened with for many years to come. And,
give you love ones consolation when they march off to
any unjustified war that you support.

POT.....MEET KETTLE.

That was a cheap shot from Obama on the immigration issue.

JOhn McCain risked the nominatioon of his party when he fought for immigration reform. Obama hasn't stood up to his party in this way ever nor do I see him doing it in the future.

Put your country first!

Neither are any good. This time I'm voting Libertarian. Bob Barr '08

McCain says this campaign is about "trust;." then why is he even in the race?

There is one thing that we can be confident of! That when it comes to defending the nation Barack and Michele NOW say they love; that neither they nor their liberal do nothing followers will step up and defend this nation of freedom and equality. All the liberals will turn their backs and let the true patriots do their fighting for them.
So go ahead! Vote for Barack. And then hide in shame like cowards when and IF your wishes come true.

Not playing the race card here, but isn't this a case of the pot calling the kettle black?

McCain you are the one who cannot be trusted. Obama is just being a smart candidate about public financing. He is being publically financed by the people who he should answer to, the voters and not speical interests or lobbyists who your campaign is crawling with. We know who you will have to answer to all the special intersts and as usual the lobbyist groups.

He has flipped on every major issue and according to more than one person, he voted for John Kerry instead of Bush, which of course he now denies.

He even likes to steal ideas that he has not supported before i.e.

After mocking Obama‘s proposed talks with Iran, McCain went on to propose his big new idea on Iran of his own, this worldwide divestment campaign to hit Iran economically. It was Obama who proposed divestment last year in a bill with Sam Brownback, a bipartisan effort that John McCain did not support. Another flip flop of McCain’s. We all thought we knew McCain, but that changes so often, we do not really know who he is. He cannot be trusted. If elected, will he go back to his "Maverick" ways.

Another worry is does he have PTSD. We all know that many soldiers are coming back with that and as we all know he was a captive for 5-1/2-years. That may explain his short temper. I certainly do not want harsh hasty decisions. He is well known for his temper and then coming back later to apologize. We do not need another "fast trigger" in the white house.

To Brian, 10:28 poster, THANK YOU!!!!
Check the facts folks, Pot calling the kettle Black.

Politics are ugly enough without double-speak. Republicans will undercut Obama at every turn without coming up with a forward-thinking policy platform ot their own. This is the politics of fear and lack of substance. Obama has shown himself to take the worse and have the levelness and judgement not to take the bait, to stay above the rubbish, and to present his own views in reasonable, measured, thoughtful ways. If the Republicans don't begin the debate on substance, then it is a demostration that they are afraid their candidate doesn't have any – which might be the case.

Yes, yes..... it certainly is a lot of fun to anger us Obama supporters.... very clever. Very adult.

The fact is (and you should have realized this by now) that Americans are more concerned about their country RIGHT NOW than they've been for quite some time. Us Democrats do not follow blindly, but with the most careful eye in politics (okay.... maybe the independents win that title, but we're second place). Those who accuse Obama supporters of "blindly following, etc." are disillusioned, because Obama has given detailed descriptions of his policy throughout the campaign. The odds are, you heard his sharp rhetoric and were so stunned that you tuned out the boring "policy" bits. Want to know what he's for: beginning the recall of troops in Iraq, reforming K-12 and college education by changing NCLB and providing a system to lower tuition costs, repealing tax cuts to the rich and big business, need more examples?

It's well known that Obama draws the support of the educated base.....

He's so old, I guess he forgets he changes positions a lot. In fact changing positions is not always bad. It means you have took more time into rethinking the issue and verbalized it. If you are hard headed and always determined to keep everything the way it is (or hide what you will do), even if you know it's wrong, vote McCain. At least you'll be consistant, well.....not really.

honest abe mccain.gets heckled everywhere he goes for supporting bush regime torturing,and criminal wars on peaceful countries,like irack!

Despite everything else, the choice is very simple:
An empty suit versus a man who has the confidence and integrity of someone who has been to hell and back for his country.

Where is the story about Obama's uncle that liberated Auschwitz? Obama made that statement in 2004 and 2008.

To all you "so-called" disgruntled Hillary voters who state you support Hillary because of her work and direction but now are going to vote McCain. A man who diligently works AGAINST everything Hillary stands for.

The MSM may not have done their homework as usual – but if they had, they would find that the majority of these websites, such as Puma Pac, Dems for McCain and the likes are not sites started, owned or maintained by disgruntled Democrats, but actually Republicans.
Although the majority of these sites do not list anything other than contact phone numbers or addresses with Internic, a quick reverse lookup will give you the names of the owners. A quick lookup with the NEC will show that the majority of the owners of these websites and/or their spouses have contributed to the Republican Party and McCain LONG before Hillary suspended her campaign.

Puma Pac, McCain/Hillary posters, we are not idiots. We know the majority of you are actually Republicans still trying to divide the Democratic Party and continue Rush's operation chaos.

It will not divide us no matter how many fake "disgruntled Democrat" comments you post. You might as well save your energy, come November you'll see that it has been all for nothing.

It is indeed about trust. I do not trust the current administration. I do not trust anyone that aligns themselves with the current administration, as Mr. McCain does.

They let us down with the Iraq War, the response to Katrina, the destruction of constitutional rights, and more. The GOP has solidly earned my distrust. Obama has my votes and my trust, as do the Democratic candidates at my local, state and federal levels. Democrat in 08! Go Obama!

McCain's own temper is a telling sign that nothing will ever get done in Congress. He will not be able to work with both parties there, and elected independents. We just can't have another president no one can work with.

McCain is probably the absolute worst candidate the Republicans have ever presented to the voters.

McCain has hit the nail on the head. Obama has now flipped-flopped out of pure convenience. Who is pulling the strings on Obama? Some say the money flooding his campaign is from George Soros who has the controlling interest in steering Obama into the White House and who has influence over media outlets and the talking heads they cherry pick to sing Obama's praises. John McCain is his own man. Obama isn't. You will see more flip-flopping from Obama in the weeks ahead. In my opinion, his candidacy is not legitimate – it was bought and paid for by the likes of George Soros and the media puppets. Restore justice, restore integrity. Say no to the status quo – join us – Write-In's for Hillary and put her in the White House.

Obama is a great orator. However.....too many platitudes, and empty solutions. McCain is the more honest of the two. I'd rather have bad news (like McCain gave in Michigan) and it be true, than good news and have it never come to fruition. Obama is in the over promise – under deliver mode....haven't we had enough of that from Bush. Obama will be more like Bush delivering positive spins that are incorrect and keeping us in this whirlwind where we don't know where the country is heading from an economic, leadership, health-care, and security perspective.

Do Obama have a plane????. I guess he is not a elitist.

A person driving on a highway is lost and stops at a gas station for directions. The attendant says go to next light make a right and it will take you to where you want – trust me. The person follows the instructions and ends up back where he originally came from. No politician can be trusted – what we need are the right directions.

Your word can't be trusted either. Who has years of experience in the senate and has done nothing? Stop being a hypocrite, and hating on Obama. Your too old to be president and your going to continue George Bush's policies. We can't afford 100 more years of the Iraq war. Do something about the state of this economy since you have so much experience.

The Republican's have always contributed to messing up the economy. It will take years to repair the damage that has been done. Please retire McCain. I don't want my grandchildren's future in your hands!

After supporting the John McCain from 2000, and observing the John McCain of 2008, I think it's pretty clear whose word cannot be trusted.

We need less words in this election anyway.

I think McCain is to the point regarding Senator Obama. Senator Obama has consistently used "avoiding to vote on controversial issues" so that he could take stands of his choie at a later time, he has changed his stand on public financing, he was totally against death penalty and now he is disappointed by supreme court decision, he is the most libral senator and now he wants to be a person standing in the center for most policies. I remember how he walked away from many crucial votes in senate in context to immigration. To summarize Mr. Obama is a pure politician who has nothing to offer except words that change very often.

The old pot calling the kettle black ! Never has a politician done more flip flops than McSame !

Why don't you do real reporting and round this out by showing all the changes, flip-flops and nuances that McCain has done?

10 years sober

Yes, there are still plenty of Hilary Democrats that won't line up behind Obama (PUMAs). Where you're going to see the effect is in Florida, a state with an older population and fewer African-Americans, and that was partially disenfranchised by the DNC Rules committee. While pundits like to talk about swing states, in recent years the situation has basically become that whoever wins FL wins the election because it has so many electoral votes. And if FL is written off, then Ohio and Pennsylvania really become the last firewall for Obama – there's no way he can win without both of those. Pay close attention to the state-by-state polls, and ignore the west coast states where people will fall in line behind Obama, as they're true blue blue "gimme" states anyway.

I remember after McCain little stroll through Iraq when he lie to the American people about how safe Iraq was, he said that he had lied to the American people in the past and that he would lie to them again, why would any conservative went to support anyone who promises to lie to them in the future. I think he should apologize to all of us!

What are Obama's convictions? The man has none. He hangs with Wright and Pfleger for 20 years only to dump them while he's running for President?

What about the recent Supreme Court ruling on handguns in DC? Does anyone believe that Obama supports the decision?

What about Iran? Will Obama as president do anything to stop them from acquiring a nuclear device?

He's a speech – one after another. He's very dangerous to this country and the world. He's weak and untested. And he's a fraud to boot.

I think Mccain supports have made him a new tag line above its the one so far
"But life is hard and then we die. Heaven is the only change and hope we have in this life. The world is going to just get worse until the end. McCain '08"

Vote for McCain 08 and the world will just get worse until we die.

...and someone please SHUT the sellout Lieberman UP. He used to be a family friend....not anymore....loser!!!

R.I.P. – N.Levin

Just a couple of observations...
1. Probably 99% of the people making comments here are true patriots ... I mean, they love America and want the best for it, but they have different viewpoints. What an awesome country we have.
2. I've read up on McCain too, and originally thought, "LOL what are his qualifications, he got shot down and tortured? That sounds more like a lousy decision maker!" Then I realized he was only following orders, putting his life at risk at that time. A risk he took, taking his chances following orders (that's what they do in the military, by the way.)
3. None of these people are who I want as the CINC, POTUSA, or "Leader of the Free World." It would be nice to have a President who is articulate (like Obama for example), pro-small government (like Ron Paul), anti-IRS/pro-sensible taxes (Huckabee for example),
etc. But that's not the choices we've got at this point. We get to choose between (in my view) a charismatic enigma (probably Marxist-based philosophy ... for you younger people that would mean "Communism"), or an old guy who's "seen it all" and though he could be lounging on the deck of a yacht, sipping Margueritas, listening to music, basking in the sun and enjoying his wife, family and his life and accomplishments, nevertheless still chooses to serve his country. When you're in your 70's, you know you don't have much longer to live. Whad ya gonna do. Yacht/run yourself ragged trying to be Prez. For me, I would go with the yacht!!! Something drives John McCain otherwise. It's not money, he's got that. It's not prestige, he's got that. It's not medals, he's got that. It's not a good looking wife, he's got that. It's not a family who loves him, he's got that. Why is he putting himself through this crappola? I think it's because it's like he says: He loves this country.

McCain has a legislative record that you can use to see if his actions support his words. Obama does not and can effectively say anything he wants, knowing it won't conflict with his lack of a record. His problems come when he says two different things to two different groups – like when sends out mailers in the Ohio primary blasting Clinton on her NAFTA support, tells the Canadians not to worry about it, and now tells us that the rhetoric got "overheated" and he wouldn't do anything unilaterally.

McCain talking about lies???? SOMEONE ASK HIM WHAT HIS REAL STANCE ON IMMIGRATION....DONKEYS...

After hearing that McCain is commenting that Obama's word can't be trusted , I wanted to say, "And your word can?!" McCain has screwed his own people, The Republicans, countless times, but not he says, his word can be trusted?! Conservatives, this is VERY FUNNY! Hahahahahahhahahahhah

McCain better get busy trying to remember what his "words" are. Atttempting to slander Obama isn't going to get it, McCain must talk about issues and stop attempting to avoid issues by parroting Obama.

Keating 5

Senator McCain,

Everything is relative. Both are politicians and say things to appeal to people and get votes. I see both Senator McCain and Obama do it, to my disappointment at times. But there's a fundamental difference between their view and their perspectives, and Obama's direction is simply better. Is it hard to achieve what he wants? Yes. Can it be done in his one or two terms? Maybe not. But he pointed to a direction for our country and our humanity that we should all work toward. He embodies Christ' spirit better – w/ his speaking out against the Iraq War, and his reminding us that we should look for our brothers and sisters. He brings his faith in to benefit all of us, whereas John McCain keeps his faith to benefit himself only. Of course, it's a risky move to bring faith in a Democratic Party, and the public keeps saying keep religion and politics separate, but Obama found a way to bring faith in politics in a way that is not offensive to a majority of people.

At least we can trust Obama with the issues of our country more than we can trust Senator McCain...who by the way has done nothing but flip-flop on issues and express his views in the words that his supporters want to hear. Take for instance, his stance as being pro-environment. He's supposedly the environmental candidate yet he supports off-shore oil-drilling. How does that work?
In the words of Hillary Clinton:
"Senator McCain and President Bush are like two sides of the same coin but at the end of the day they don't amount to much change."
Obama '08 Yes we can!!

Personal attacks; the Straight Talk Express crashed some time ago. Or perhaps this IS Straight Talk. If so, he can kiss my vote goodbye

Wow Again! McCain accusing someone of doing the same exact thing he's been doing since 2000. McFlip Flop needs to look in the mirror if he can stand up long enough to do so. You don't have any experience on the economy so you're in no position to comment or offer any solutions. How in the name of money can you be a U.S. Senator for 26 years and not have any idea how the U.S. Economy works. What the heck has he been doing in the Senate all these years? I doubt very seriously if he's even qualified as a leader on foreign policy where clearly McCain's personality and lack of knowledge between the difference of Shiite and Sunni would leave him looking like an older version of the dunce he's trying to replace. The facts are is that John McCain has been a Senator for 26 years and seems more out of touch with America than George W. Bush does. This man holds an official office in the U.S. Senate and is running for the most important job in the world and he doesn't even know how to cut on a personal computer. That is scary, and something people really better take notice of think about twice, maybe three times. Would you leave your future in a man, who is technologically, economically, and domestically inept and out of touch or give McCain the keys to a car he's way too old to drive carefully?

Obama cannot win without the white voters! Bye bye Obama!!

That is the funniest and saddest thing McCain has said to date.

OBAMA 08

Caney Cane is a HYPOCRIT–he BROKE the MOST HOLY VOW: he cheated SEVRAL TIMES on his betrothed...HOW CAN HIS WOARDS BE TRUSTED...he further admitted that his x-wife, Carol, had reason to be upset and bitter–meaning that he put her through hell with the lies and cheating. I ask you, Senator Caney-Cane–if we cannot even trust you to tell your wife the TRUTH–why in the hell should the American people trust one stinkin' word you say?!

Let me see.

Mccain lets not drill offshore
Mccain lets drill offshore

Mccain lets talk to hamas
Mccain we don't talk to hamas

Mccain lets use public financing in primary
Mccain we do not use public financing in primary

Mccain Lets not use time lines to get out of Iraq
Mccain we will get out of Iraq in 4 years
Mccain we may stay in Iraq for 100 years
Mccain Its not important we get the troops out

Mccin bush tax cuts are bad
Mcain bush tax cuts are good

Mccain wary about religous leader of intolerance
Mccain come support my campaign

Who has credibility problems John?

There's nothing to trust about Obama. He doesn't offer positions, just slogans. But at least everyone feels good. Democrat or republican. Just two different entities owned by the same people/

Obama and McCain are both back stabbers. They'll both smile at you and as soon as your back is turned they'll thrust it home into your back. They are both cut from the same cloth, only one has faded (McCain) more than the other.

Why would one elect someone like McCain who is in such bad physical health anyway.

My GOP vote is for Ron Paul. A man who has successfully delivered over 4,000 healthy babies is definitely someone you can trust.

Mccain u achanged position on every BIG issue and now u are talking of trust.Anybody there?
OBAMA 08 SOUND JUDGEMENT

Comments are running 99% to 1% against McLiar.
Very good sign.

McCain saying Obama can't be trusted is like the pot calling the kettle black. McCain is the king of flip flop. Did he say that before or after he was heckled four times on yesterday.

Look who's talking, LOL!!!!

Read through all of these flip-flops by McCain then tell me if Obama can live up to this supposed stellar standard of integrity:

"The past couple of weeks have been especially difficult when it comes to McCain flip-flops.

* McCain supported the drilling moratorium; now he’s against it.

* McCain strongly opposes a windfall-tax on oil company profits. Three weeks earlier, he was perfectly comfortable with the idea.

* McCain thought Bush’s warrantless-wiretap program circumvented the law; now he believes the opposite.

* McCain defended “privatizing” Social Security. Now he says he’s against privatization (though he actually still supports it.)

Wait, I’m not done with the last two weeks yet….

* McCain wanted to change the Republican Party platform to protect abortion rights in cases of rape and incest. Now he doesn’t.

* McCain thought the estate tax was perfectly fair. Now he believes the opposite.

`FOOD FOR THOUGHT´
WHO LIES MORE?
A man who believes we can actually live better by changing both our lives and failed policies of the present regime?
OR
a man who has practically changed his position on most of the issues he has believed and supported as a Senator?

NO politician's word can be trusted, including this current Republican- white-male-establishment-old-guy model.

I do hope that one thing comes from obama's candidacy is the end of affirmative action. Now that we have a minority candidate who beat a woman, can we drop this nonsense and start requiring that ALL Americans graduate from high school, avoid pregnancy when they're kids themselves and do what successful people have always had to do to EARN that success? Speak the language correctly, dress like you're not a convict and all around GROW UP. OH, and check the guns and knives at the door...

OBAMA 08!

Can someone name me 1 president who had experience, before they were elected?

I don't like Obama or his buck tooth wife. I'm sorry Michelle but someone had to tell the truth. I'm still hoping in the background that Hillary wins.

Sorry, there was more than enough Lying in Bush W's terms I and II. There's no way anyone should risk more of it for McBush term lll. How dumb do you think the American public is? Oh, really?

McFlip-Flop, said that Obama is not to be Trusted. Is this the same guy who embrace Bush failed policies, the same guy who failed to show up in the Senate to vote, the same guy who voted against the GI Bill and now claims he was for it. The Straight talk express has changed to the Double Talk Express (DTE)

Are we all grown or what? Who cares what candidate's supporters are saying? There are childish, ignorant, and irrational things being said on BOTH sides by BOTH Hillary and Obama supporters. I know it won't happen, but I wish people would act their age for once and vote on the issues that matter to them. All this spiteful stuff is beyond me.

Obama 08

GOP Supporter wrote: "Most Democrats take office on the promise for change after there is a solid economy and world stability left behind by the Republicans. "
++++++++++++++

The last time that was true was when Ike left office. It took us a decade to clean up the mess made by Reaganomics. Now it will take almost a decade or more to clean up from Bushmoronics.

Just like the GDP and employment figures. If you don't get the results you want, manipulate the data so that way it becomes harder for voters to make a true comparison between administrations because the data is reported differently.

Don't get me wrong. The Dems are no better when it comes to having their hands out and selling their souls for the campaign dollar but at least they are a lot less hypocritical about it.

Hmmmmm...

Lets see a 3rd Bush Term Or a 2nd Carter Or 2nd JFK term?
I think this american Will take his chances and Vote McCain.
and Guess what Im 26, and think is experience is better than words.
How bout dem' Apples?

Best Regards.

What I would like to see and hear in a McCain/ Obama debate:

Moderator: Mr. Obama do you have a question for Senator McCain?

Obama: John, I want to know what happened to you? I respected your work on immigration reform. You had a balanced perspective with a clear path to citizenship for the many immigrants but recently you have only been interested in militarizing the border. What happened? You were critical of the Bush tax cut of the wealthy and called it voodoo economics, and now you want to institutionalize it. What happened? You were a proponent of campaign finance reform and then abandoned those ideas and have even violated campaign finance law. What happened? You were outspoken against the use of torture in interrogation and no one can speak with more authority in opposition to torture, but then you acquiesced and agreed to flawed legislation that defines certain forms of torture as being allowed. What happened? You were critical of voices of religious intolerance and then you sought out their support? What happened? As an admirer of you as a man and as someone who respects your record, I am concerned that somehow you have lost your voice, what happened to you along the way here?

Obama supporters (white and black) are in for a big disappointment .. they are betting on an unknown (and they have be persuaded to see McCain as Bush - which he is not)

Obama favors MUCH HIGHER taxes .. 60% and 70% taxes (that will take MORE CASH out of the hands of working people - no way to avoid it) and create a deep long-term DEPRESSION (he would enter office in a Recesssion)

He favors UNIONS and he IS A LAWYER and that alone will drive millions more jobs OUT of the U.S. makine employment even more difficult (and high taxes even more severe)

He view corporations as "the enemy" and so he will punish them .. and that will drive them off-shore. No domestic corporations means no jobs. We already buy most of our consumer goods from China. That is the consequnce of UNIONS and LAW SUITS

He wants to "give up" in the struggle with radical Islam .. that will only make them more brazen and result in bigger and wider wars (plural) The struggles with Islan were initiated by Islam and they have no intention of stopping ESPECIALLY WHEN FACED WITH WEAKLINGS AND QUITTERS

None of the candidates has a rational energy plan. Obama has no plan at all.

Obama has no idea how to help Wall Street get "fixed" and the president does not just "order up" a new economy. THEY will also see him as a blunder fool and the sub-prime type problem will expand .. fueled by foolish government policy.

If Social Security is broke and Medicare is floundering (witness the pharmacy debacle) THEN any form of "national health plan" is impossible. That's just an outright lie (even Obamna knows that)

UNLESS someone does something aboiut NAFTA Mexican transportation companies will displace American trucking companies (going BK at the rate of 1000/month) while Mexico subsidizes fuel from PEMEX.. making their operations much less expensive.

When UNIONS kill of the last U.S. airline then foreign carriers (Mexico) will take over under the NAFTA umbrella just like the truckers)

Obama says nothing about container ports and that willl get one US city bombed ... but he went to a Medrasa .. he knows that ..

All summed up the US public is in for a MAJOR set back in this "unknown" they are excited about - with his Trinity church cohorts and his ex-hippie bomber friends ... tell who you are with and I will tell you what you are. It's not to hard to see.

Bush was dumb. This guy is extremely dangerous and it look like it is going to happen.

Don't like where McCain stands on the issues?

Wait a couple days

Funny that McClone says that Obama's word can't be trusted, when Johnny's been the preeminent flip-flopper in this race. He was against immigration before he was for it; and he's already professed on numerous occasions that he's clueless on fixing the economy. No way I'm voting for someone who's going to 'Stay the Course' – no matter how disasterous the course has been.

Too bad Obama wasn't president two years ago.

Then Al Qaida would have controlled Iraq instead of being defeated. I miss seeing Osama's face on television.

Obama – "snatching defeat from the jaws of victory."

Sure and the same thing can be said about Phil Gramm.

Yes, according to the Lexington Sunday paper, McCain and McConnell are good friends now. Birds of a feather. . .

Many of the people of Kentucky don't trust McConnell. We're working to get a Democrat in his seat this November.

This is a pretty ludicrous charge from a man who has changed his position and public pronouncements on immigration, off-shore drilling, taxes and more. All politicans have proved they flip-flop, so I'd rather they do it on things of lesser importance. I don't care a hill of beans about public financing, but I do care about the economy and energy... issues on which McCain has not kept HIS word. Seems like McCain is the one who can't be trusted!!

I don't know about you, but it already looks as though McCain in playing the role of a defeated underdog. Her seems to have selective memory when it comes to votes like the Bush tax cuts and others in which he has since flip-flopped too.

Seems like he's playing too much catch up too early in the season to me.

Yeah, you can trust McCain to push for campaign finance reform...until he decides that he needs to pander to the religious right and backs down. You can trust him to be a fiscal conservative...until he knuckles under to President Bush on the tax cuts that McCain had correctly said we couldn't afford. You can trust him, above all, to be against official sanctioning of torture...until he flip-flops on that of all issues.

The only thing you can trust McCain to do at this point is say whatever it takes to get elected.

as I sit here and read these comments were people are taking one side or the other ..and in all seriousness neither of these candidates will be able to effect change in the way our government /society operates .
we are a country based upon profit/greed those who control the politics are those who control the money and in our country thats 2% of the population...
and those people care nothing about you or I
I wont support any politician who puts the interests of greed above the American people ...
we spend billions of taxpayers money on support systems of non Americans read the post from the teacher ..we spend billions of tax payers money on trying to fix problems in other country's while our own is falling apart .
I say our elected officials should put America first by becoming independent of foreign oil, meat, grain ,steel, workers ..yes we import cheep labor thus costing real Americans jobs ...

America doesn't need to import anything we have everything right here ..we spend billions of tax payers money to pay farmers /dairymen not to grow food that has to stop ..those millions of corpert owned land should be producing at max lv`s the extra grains can be made into renewable energy resources ..

If a foreign business wants to sell their products in America then those products need to be made in America by American workers

Our dollar is dropping against most other industrial country's ...we have high unemployment ....execpt in the illegal immigrant population who work for less money .....thus providing more profit for that 2% at the top..

Greed is slowly killing out country and until we take that out of our government decision making we the American people will see no change

I think it is rather telling how many of the Obama supporters in this list are engaging in Name-calling, giving John McCain the monicker "Mcsame", "McWar" or Senator Has-Been. I think they would be surprised and a bit taken aback if they compared Obama's platform to the communist manifesto, and discovered exactly how closely they coincide. However, I am willing to bet that they aren't willing to take the time to really understand the issues that will affect them in the very real and near future. I doubt that they will take the time to review Obama's very left wing voting record, or to understand that they have been "Hoodwinked! Bamboozled! Led Astray! Run Amok!"

Oh and yours can McSame?? Who do you think we are...idiots? Like we're going to believe the words of the biggest flip flopper in recent history. Good luck. I love how people say educate yourselves..yeah, that's why I'm voting for Obama. Duh!

Change = Tax and Spend, Tax and Spend. More taxes, more government. Liberals wanting gays to marry, abortions...etc. Liberal minded godless people think about it, we have not been attacked becasue we have a President now that won't take any crap from Iraq, Osama, terrorists. Mark my word, as soon as the Liberals are back in, disaster will strike. Because of the weakmindedness of a President that wants to 'talk' through things. We need to STOP these terrorists, not talk to them.

was obama born in hawaie or just before he reached american shores?

and it takes one to know one ??????????????

and don't let me even commence on cindy – who didn't do a day's time in jail for STEALING drugs from a non-profit and whose own father – where all that wealth and that personal jet comes from – was a convicted felon and worked in the booze and gamblling (horsetrack) industry? this sleeze is what I want as a first lady? to represent my country? to serve as a model for my daughter? look it up. it's documented public information.

Very unPresidential of you, Johnny.

1st you call a former President "lousy." Now you're saying the next President of the US can't be trusted.

I don't know why AZ keeps sending you back to the Senate. Perhaps, they just want to keep you out of the State.

Michelle wrote:

What happened to freedom of religion in America? Even though its been proven by a legion of sources that Barack Obama is in fact NOT a Muslim, my question to you is.....

Why should it matter? Arent we free? Isnt this America? I'm tired of people like you telling me how to think and who to pray to. Meanwhile Im paying $5 for gasoline.

Get your priorties in order dear. That is all.

McCain is going down the drain. (cant wait to see both in a townhall meeting)

Shame on you, John McCain. You have flip-flopped more that a newly caught fish on the deck of a boat. You appear to be willing to say ande do anything. Sir, there is no honor in disparaging Mr. Obama. He has been clear and concise. You on the other had seem to be losing your bearings and you simply have no plan for the American people. Shame on you, for misleading the American people. You certainly will not get my vote. YOU HAVE NO HONOR and seem to surround yourself with surrogates who have none either.

Obama will change the standing of USA in the world. Accoding to Audacity of Hope

I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction-Barak Hussein Obama.

He doesnt talk of his upbringing for ten years by his stepfather. He talks about being raised by his white grandparents in Kansas. Has he threw his stepfather under the bus just like his abondoned biological father.

Americans especially the youth with little politcal knowledge wake up before the rug is pulled from under your feet.

I don't trust Bush, therefore I don't trust McCain.

blah blah blah, Goofball refusing to put his hand over his heart for the National Anthem, that spells disaster. I don't care what shinanigans McCain has done, He is truly an American. He doesn't flake out. I want a President who is loyal to my country. Think about it people, don't be blinded by the word, "change". and be careful with what you wish for. Burak Hussain Obama cannot be trusted. It's pretty scary how many people he has decieved. Open your eyes people!

obama can't be trusted, but mccain can? right. that's why a man who spent the past ten years working against special interests has a campaign run by one of the biggest lobbyists in washington – and why he's paying more than 100 lobbyists to work for him. mccain is the one who cannot be trusted – he wrote a loophole into his campaign reform bill so that private FAMILY jets can be used for campaign travel. how many people do you know personally who have their own private FAMILY jet?

mccain spent his entire career distancing himself to the christian right, only to sell himself to the christian right when he decided to win at any cost – including personal integrity. i'd vote for mccain if john mccain was still around – unfortunately he's gone missing, and he's not coming back.

More importantly for me is that Obama has never given an answer as to why he and Michelle attended a black liberation church for 20 years where a pastor spoke words of hate and racism and never were bothered by it. Are we to believe the "new" Obama who no longer attends that church or are we to believe the Obama who supported that church and his pastor for 20 years????

You can say what you want but when 95% of the
African American people vote for Obama thats not
right.People need to open their eyes.

Ms. Michelle the "teacher" from Georgia

So you are a teacher or subtitute teacher? I hope you dont teach social sciences or History... At the very least I would expect of a teacher to promote a more critical understanding of the issues and its underlining causes. You are at best uninformed and at worst a neoconxenophobe If you think inmigration is the cause why our government and country is in the shape it is then no wonder republicans have been able to remain in power with the support of people such as you.

McBush is alier, a cheat and a womanizer. After I found out what hw did to his first wife it was all over!!!! He should have gone to jail with Charlie Keating anf his wife should have gone to jail for drug steal from a foundation she was volunteering for. BUT NO they have sooooo much money thet get off scot free!! Obama has morals, the truth and at least he is trying to change Washington and the lobbiests!!
We need to turn the USA over to young people and not still be fighting the Vietnam war. I'm 64 and its time to retire!!!

Ha! And we can trust McCain, who has flip-flopped on

Oil drilling
Comprehensive immigration reform
Roe v Wade
Ethanol
Falwell/Robertson
Bush tax cuts
Torture at Guantanamo

Larry Clifton: "If Obama is elected, you will see a major break down in the US economy."

You mean like the one we're going through right now that Obama is going to have to fix? Good grief. Best start pushing your pickup truck on home, Larry, 'cause if McSame gets in gas definitely ain't gonna get any cheaper.

McCain, flip flop on every issue that even matter if he could stay out the senior citizen club log enough to actually work.

This fool has never took care of Veterans , he used Veteran and the prison camp as a stepping stone..

If he 100% disable vet how can he work full time?

They are a lot of 100% homeless vet that could really use the money.....

Jed, Michelle, Timber.

I believe McCain is a clone from the Bush Cheney gang. On war McCain said the US will stay in IRAQ 100 years if necessary.
Please explain the sense and logic in his remark.

So far this war in IRAQ which we started by attacking them. have cost the US tax payer close to One trillion dollars and tens thousands of maimed U American soldiers . Who will meed medical care for rhe rest of thier lives.

Not forgetting the 4000+ dead US troops. Do u know how many IRAQIi's we have killed, soldiers , civiliand including old people , women and children . Well do U ?

If McCain is elected then our country better be ready for new wars and a continuation of the war in IRAQ.

I cannot see OBAMA doing something worse to our great country , than the Bush Cheney gang , but I can with McCain.

LIam

Then why is he ahead in most of the polls. No, it's John McSame's word that can't be trusted. Good try though, John. It won't work, but good try.

Presidents need to change their policy. . As time goes by, more information/different perspectives become apparent. I would not want a president to decide now what he is going to do a year from now and stick with it, without question.

While I don’t agree with some of Obama’s policy changes, they seem somewhat intelligent. I do agree with most of Obama’s plans.

McCain, on the other hand, seems like he just can't remember what he said the other day. I don’t believe McCain has a plan.

Notice how old McCain is looking. I don't think he is flip-flopping, he just can't remember from day to day. He has used his past prisoner of war status to the hilt. He needs to step up and live in the present and put realistic policies together for the future.

What happened to his running the good campaign while saying Obama can't be trusted. McCain doesn't seem to be getting any traction out of "tax and spend" and war paranoia issues so back to the old ugly ones. Finally the voters are waking up to these hackneyed Republican tactics. Flying dirt doesn't seem to work as well for them as it used to.

I will have to say something for him, however, he doesn't seem to like pandering to the religious right. I did like his insinuation that W. was a president that wanted to be king.

OBAMA lies

Have fun being misled you blind followers

I find it mildly entertaining, and totally transparent, that someone is seeding this site with the imaginary offended Hillary supporters that intend to vote for McCain. While the legend has been out there for a couple of weeks, the reality has failed to materialize except as innuendo and whisper campaigns. The entries for Dave and Clinton/McCain above are about as real and likely as McCain voting for Obama!

This election will likely see far more Republicans voting for Obama than Democrats voting for McCain.

McCain is the one who changed his position on immigration to become the republican nominee.

I am discouraged at the comments left by the un-informed public attacking McCain here.

Please go to factcheck.org and get educated before attacking someone who has done so much for our country.

Obama will say / do anything to win; just like he did in Chicago to win the Senate seat.

Educate yourselves America.

McSame said that he would run a respectful and impersonal campaign. This shows he's a man of his word as he was when he was against offshore drilling and torture.
This election is a definite CHOICE! GO AWAY Greedy Oil Party!

Obama's a clown with a script. Nothing more.

I am a democrat, but these accusations from both parties remind me of children tattling on each other. I believe Obama to be the better candidate, though, because through all the fogginess, he offers the best solution to help America. McCain seems to have no real stable campaign plan and he is acting like a typical politician who will change positions to make certain constituents happy.
Obama's public finance snub was not a flip-flop. He did not say I WILL UNEQUIVOCALLY TAKE PUBLIC MONEY. He said: he would "aggressively pursue an agreement with the Republican nominee to preserve a publicly financed general election." That does not constitute an iron-clad decision to take public money. We need to stop taking things out of context to fit our ideology.

I am a moderate democrat, agreeing with republicans on some issues and democrats on others. I remain objective and am not a punditite or Fox News Disciple or Completely hoodwinked by MSNBC. I remain an indepedent thinker and not a zealot.

McCain is absolutely. Like Bill Clinton, Obama is, as stated by former Senator Bob Kerrey, "an uncommonly good liar."

as an Obama supporter, I'm not happy with some of the postions he has taken in the last few weeks(i.e.-support for the spying bill) but McCain has no room to talk. He has sold out every sane postion he had before.

Ok, he still supports some green technology and action, but everything else he has flushed down the toilet.

what is with these posts by people from florida claiming to be democrats who are going to vote for mccain? do you realize your state has succesfully screwed over the entire country and now you want to do it again?!? and then there's this post from michelle:

"I am surprised how many of you are so blind. If Obama gets elected, this country will never be the same. I personally am not impressed by McCain, but at election time I will vote for him. I strongly believe that Obama is a FRAUD, and a MUSLIM, and he will bring this country down"

WOW, really? do people actually think like this? do your religous beliefs entail distrust of anyone who doesn't share those exact same beliefs? i am shocked and saddened when i see posts like this. we're commenting on political matters and someone has spew their religious hate. shocking that this most often comes from the right

So, we're supposed to trust the word of the man who said originally on drilling in ANWR:

“I believe the amount of energy that could be recovered from that area is not that impactful and I certainly wouldn’t want to see another Exxon Valdez situation.” – December 8th 2007

and in May of 08 said:
“…I don’t see an immediate relief. But I do see that exploitation of existing reserves that may exist and in the view of many experts that do exist off our coast is also a way that we need to provide relief. Even though it may take some years the fact that we are exploiting those reserves will have a psychological impact that I think is beneficial.”

Then in June of 2008 said:
“Providing additional incentives for states to permit exploration off their coast would be very helpful in the short term in resolving our energy crisis.”

McCain can't even be trusted to have the same message a mere three weeks later how are we supposed to trust his word. The guy's a serial flip-flopper.

We're supposed to trust the word of a Republican over Obama? Do the initials "WMD" mean anything to anyone???

Where has the real John McCain gone? I find it pretty sad to call someone else untrustworthy when you have changed your stand on so many issues. I think the preprimary John McCain was more believeable. As time goes on, I feel more and more like McCain has become a puppet for the Republican Party and no longer a voice in his own right. Sometimes he comes out with things and I just say....Huh? It is like the Republican Party is standing over him like puppetmasters, manipulating the strings so he says this or does this depending on what political hot spot the voters want answers on. Every once in a while he says something that actually sounds like John McCaine and you can tell the difference. It is going to be very interesting to see how he actually stands on his own when he has to begin debating one on one with Obama. Where HAS the real John McCain gone?

I promise some of you people have the IQ of a five year old. These comments are horribly ignorant. Its funny to say John McCain can't be trusted, funny. A proven patriot can't be trusted. Well if you idiots think Senator McCain can't be trusted, god help America!!!! As far as Obama, the guy gave is WORD! What ever happened to the belief that a man is only as good as his word!!!!! It seems that left wing liberals will be the destruction of this country along with the far far far right conservatives! IDIOTS. Go John McCain!

You bloody fools. McSame is a retired flag-grade military officer of the post-WW2 generation, which means that he will say and do anything his superiors want in order to advance himself. Sad but true, and not exactly a secret to anyone who's spent a day in uniform (esp. us enlisted folk). Right now they've told him to go on the attack using any frivolous argument he can conjure up.

"michelle"...really nice flashing the Muslim boogeyman against Obama. My father was raised as a Muslim (Bosnian), I was raised Catholic, by my Irish mother and served for 26 years in the US Air Force. Oddly enough, I have never had a sudden urge to strap bombs on myself, hijack a plane, or even decline a second helping of bacon. What's your point besides prejudice?

Impeach McCain now!

it has been a free long ride for mccain. it has been politics for him all the time. he has used to the fullest his vietnam fluke. he has over exploited it.how many true vietnam vets who have just kept quite and went on with their lives. but not with mccain, he made a killing of his so called viet war experience.now he's running for u.s. pres. no way , he can fool the amer people. he ought now to thank the people for its generosity to him for so long a time. to be fair, what vet war experience is it for him to be brag about. he was never engaged in the vet war.he fought in the air. it would have been much different if he was with the army or marines. he even made it difficult for the u.s. at the time by becoming a hostage. he was at his worst by being stupid or at not making evasive steps so his plane wont be hit by a missile. this in effect reflect bad judgement. slimy mccain started his political life out of this so called war expolit. People, "CHECK HIM OUT" .

I will be proudly voting for McCain. Not to get him into office, but to keep this far left liberal Obama out of office. Go look at Obama's voting record. He does not serve his constituents and he will not serve you.

Get your facts straight, Jason. You asked how many people have refused public financing before. The answer is none, at least in a Presidential general election. Obama is the first person since the program's inception to refuse it. This after he promised not to.

This is why Obama cannot be trusted: he will say whatever is expedient at the time. He was all for public financing when his candidacy was just starting, and his prospects were dim. Now that he's sitting on potentially half a billion dollars, he's decided that position was incorrect.

He's one of two things: a fraud or a fool. Which is it? There are no other options. If he knew at the time he said it that he would turn down public financing if he was offered enough money, he's a fraud. If he didn't think far enough into the future to contemplate winning the nomination and being in a position to raise lots of money, he's a fool. In either event, he isn't somebody I want elected.

If Obama is elected, you will see a major break down in the US economy. With the Democrats in charge of both houses, we see where we are. A hard left president who will not reveal his intentions, and who considered the Right Reverend Wright his mentor and spiritual guide until we saw video from some of his work, will fell our economy and put the country in an economic and social tailspin.
Even you progressives, liberals, or what ever you call yourselves today had better think before you vote this time.

People still make those Muslim comments about obama. You know I heard he is a Marsian... yep a marsian..

The funny side of macain speechies is that he have flip floped more than any candidates runing for presidential seat in history of american politics.just in this past few months he have flip floped more that 10 times, 1 on offsore drillin 2 on keeping our solders in iraq for 100yrs now he changed his mind and said 2013
3 political financial reform he accused obama of flip floping on that issue while john him salf flip floped on that issue too.i can go on and on.

michelle, you silly wench. You have taken that quote completely out of context. If you believe Obama is a Muslim, you are an IGNORANT silly wench. Get an education, girl.

Senator McCain, you're correct, NOBAMA CANNOT BE TRUSTED; that's why this November YOU are getting my vote. At least, with YOU our country will be safe.

PUMA

Bizarre to have a discussion about which politician to trust. Their goal is to be our elected president, by repositioning, rebranding and changing position.

In my opinion you can only trust their past behavior.

While I respect McCain's service, someone could pose the same question of trustworthiness after McCain switched positions to adopt the policies of George Bush. For instance, John has reversed his stances on tax cuts for the wealthy during a time of war, drilling, agents of intolerance, torture, immigration, and more.

Did anyone else notice McCain does not look happy in that photo?

Its easy to see why so many "Americans" (and I use that term loosely) are so "goo-goo-eyed" for Obama. Look at what they have been watching on TV for the past 10 years - American Idol, Desperate Housewives, Survivor, and all the endless stupid clones. We have become hypnotized by the slick young looking "idol" who sounds so eloquent and promises us health and wealth, but says absolutely nothing of importance – the modern day sophists.

Tim you said it all. I am a democrat that resides in NY and I will be voting for Sen. McCain.

The only reason the DNC went for Obama is because he had the money, if Sen Clinton had the money they would have back her.

Obama reminds me so much of Bush. His attitude, buying the election, makes a good speech, and no experience. With Obama we will have four more years of Bush.

Also, how can I vote for someone who has the nastiest supporters that have no respect for people who have done more for their country then the Obama's have?

Obama has been lying from Day One. He is greedy beyond measure, not satisfied with the 1/4 billion he already raised among the Hitler Youth who follow him like a guru.

He lied when he promised to work with only federal campaign funds because of his personal greed that apparently knows no bounds.

He lied when he said he would immediately withdraw from Iraq. Now he says, "gradual withdrawal."

He makes Hillary Clinton look like a skin-flint. You can have him. I'll take honor and experience over greed and prepared speeches any day of the week.

it has been a free long ride for mccain. it has been politics for him all the time. he has used to the fullest his vietnam fluke. he has over exploited it.how many true vietnam vets who have just kept quite and went on with their lives. but not with mccain, he made a killing of his so called viet war experience.now he's running for u.s. pres. no way , he can fool the amer people. he ought now to thank the people for its generosity to him for so long a time. to be fair, what vet war experience is it for him to be brag about. he was never engaged in the vet war.he fought in the air. it would have been much different if he was with the army or marines. he even made it difficult for the u.s. at the time by becoming a hostage. he was at his worst by being stupid or at not making evasive steps so his plane wont be hit by a missile. this in effect reflect bad judgement.

what a d-bag. you can't align yourself with the economic and foreign policy of king george and support a war that was solely based on lies to the american people and then say that the honest democrat who decided not to take public financing is a huge liar. it doesn't work that way mccain.

A favorite ploy of the Republican Party. This tends to happen in every election, and with every Democratic candidate. The trick is, to get the Democratic candidate labeled as "fence sitter" or "wishy washy" or other similar terminologies, by impressing upon the public the Democrat candidate can't stick to a decision. The strategy is old, tired and worn out, and clearly shows how desperate McCain has become. Obama should counter by defining McCain as "same old politics, same old Washington" or similar.

I have no problem with Obama changing his mind about public financing. I agree with his decision. He should just, however, admit that in light of all the small donors to his campaign, that he is changing his mind. I have no problem with politicians changing their mind - just don't tell me that you didn't change it. McCain..... oh what to say about McCain. I really don't think the man has any integrity at all and that is what just makes me chuckle because he supposedly is running on a "character platform". His temper, his dealing with his first wife, his stupid comments about bomb bomb, are all indicative of his character - and they don't impress me. Obama, yes, he is a politician. Duh. And he is trying to win. Duh. And of course he is going to come more to the center as the campaign goes on. That's what is called compromise. He won't just represent one segment of society as president but many segments. So far, I am impressed but his attempt to keep to character and hope he keeps it up as he gets more emersed in dirty national politics. I'll be hoping that he will make a change in Washington, because God knows we need to do something different.

This form the guy who has been publicly censured by his peers for his involvement in the S&L scandal in the early 90s, which was lucky because he could've been impeached and/or prosecuted.

Thank you!! This country has been so "dumbed down" over the years that no one cares about talent, credentials, ability and substance. Everything is a popularity contest. Obama is the Sanjaya of the primary. He was the least talented and experienced but was nice looking and different looking and knew how to speak in front of a teleprompter and did his best to sound like MLK. The sheep ate it up and the media embraced it as they have embraced Brittany, Paris and Lindsey. The DNC saw the hype and encouraged it which gave it validation and leaving the the other more intelligent half of the party with nowhere to go but McCain.
I fear for this country.

I am surprised how many of you are so blind. If Obama gets elected, this country will never be the same. I personally am not impressed by McCain, but at election time I will vote for him. I strongly believe that Obama is a FRAUD, and a MUSLIM, and he will bring this country down.

I am quoting from his book Audacity of hope:
'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

these are his true intentions.

I agree with McCain. Obama is slick. For these other posters to claim that McCain cannot be trusted because he has changed his opinion on certain political matters misses the point. McCain means what he says and does what he says he's going to do. Obama is intentionally vague and is Bill Clinton-esq in the way he evades the dictionary definition of a lie. Thank you McCain for being strong enough to call out the Obama/Rezco platform.

Obama can fool some people sometimes, but he can't fool all the people all the time.

McCain must be senile...that or he has conveniently chosen to forget the number of times that he himself has changed stances. How could anyone ever trust a single word out of that psychotic old coot's mouth?

I believe McCain 100%!

I WILL keep my WORD to LOBBIESTS and SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS!

Obama is an empty suit with a talking head on it.

"I am a proud democrat that resides in florida and will be voting for McCain come November. I have read some of the nastiest comments from Obama supportors. I dont want anything to do with the Democratic party at this time. "

You sound like the "Women Voice Women Vote" who will vote only for a women in DNC, but otherwise vote GOP. Go ahed and vote GOP and say good bye to U.S.A.

Mr. Obama says he is about change. What that change will be is not clear. So far the only change we have seen is his ability to change his mind on promises he has made.

I expect McCain to change his mind and his stance, after all he is a
politician and they are a shifty lot.

Mr Obama said he was not an insider but looking at his maneuvers
to get votes he appears more and more like an insider and a shifty
POLITICIAN.

In the end he will show us that he cannot be trusted and is just as
slimy as those he apposes.

McCain, just face it your saying this to get attention. But no one is gonna vote for a 70 yr old who is gonna die in office 3 days after elected. You have flip-flopped on a variety of issues and even flip-flopped against your wife for Cindy. PA is a big swing state that will NEVER VOTE FOR YOU so give it up. President Obama has got this election in the bag!

Typical CNN reporting and headline. Misleading headline, and no substance in the report itself.

Neither can yours you old fool.

Another question - where is McCain getting his money to purchase a brand new, custom built airplane for his campaign? He certainly doesn't appear to have the funds to do so.

McCain hoped Obama would accept public financing–because McCain would have benefited greatly.

McCain wants to debate in a series of town hall meetings–because McCain is more comfortable in this situation.

McCain has "flip-flopped" on so many issues and seems to, in the end; adopt the same ideologies of George W. Bush (i.e. offshore drilling).

Does the public really care about public financing? If so, more than 11% of taxpayers would agree to contribute to this fund when they file their taxes.

Does anybody REALLY think that what we need is a Bush Republican in the White House in the next term? We are on our knees economically,
we are on our backs when it comes to education.

Michelle in Georgia: who's been running the educational system for the past 8 years? I don't disagree with what you said but I'm not sure you're clear on who is to blame.

Given the state of the dollar, the state of the economy and the COMPLETE lack of corporate oversight that has been put in-place by Bush and his Republican clones who really cares about arrogance when your other option is watching the sovereign-nation Oil Companies continue to get billions in subsidies while YOU get saddled with debt and a declining standard of living.

Let's see you acknowledge the fact that you were rescued by a Vietnamese citizen...see Veterans against Mcain website....not to mention your constant flops...and Senator Obama would be less than intelligent if he did not allow himself access to unlimited campaign funds. Obviously, he knows what to expect from you. Typical dirtbag repub strategy. By the way CNN, you don't have to post this one either

The Republicans know that if they repeat something over, and over again through many channels as possible, the American people will start believing it – no matter how wrong the info is. DON'T BELIEVE JOHN McCAIN. He will say anything to get elected.

Has Obama refused to debate McCain too?

McCain you can;t talk you flip flop like a flip flop!!! So please for your own good keep quiet on this matter. All you have done is change your mind tobenefit yourself. Go,Obama!!!!1

Obama is the consumate liar: During the campaign (anti-NAFTA at the debate, pro-NAFTA with Canada); and after (will accept public funds, now won't).

If he lies openly to the people, how can he be trusted. Obama supporters are hopelessly naive.

Its true Obama hasn't kept his word on anything!

McCain should not be so absolute about Senator Obama especially since he has changed his stance on many subjects. I feel that Senator McCain cannot be trusted, and has a history of not being able to be trusted. This will all come out in the wash.

Sorry John,

Pre-presidential John McCain could be trusted and was actually a good presidential candidate but presidential candidate John McCain has flip-flopped on all his maverick ideas, partisanship and become an extension of George Bush.
Your words ring hollow John McCain as you have sold your soul to the right.

Unfortunately, the devil collects at the crossroads in November...

I am a proud democrat that resides in florida and will be voting for McCain come November. I have read some of the nastiest comments from Obama supportors. I dont want anything to do with the Democratic party at this time. To put it in perspective Obama lacks experience -and change what- to change his mind when the situation suits him. Thats not the kind of change that I want in a president.

Whose word can we trust, please tell me.

McCain is Right. I think Hillary needs to convince Super Delegates to switch their vote before the convention. We NEED HER!! Obama will never get my vote or most of the people in this highly democratic distict to which I reside. Wake Up America, Obama is a FRAUD!!
McCain 08, Clinton 12

When Obama visit Europe in summer he will see
thousends of enthousiastic European supporters.

When McCain visit Europe he will see.....................nobody!

Our hope is on Obama the new most respected world leader ever!

With love from the Netherlands

Europe for Obama!

All politicians use double-speak. Obama's supporters are so obsessed with their candidate that they can not acknowledge that their candidate speaks out of both sides of his mouth. McCain is playing the same political games to get elected.

Where has the real John McCaine gone? I find it pretty sad to call someone else untrustworthy when you have changed your stand on so many issues. I think the preprimary John McCaine was more believeable. As time goes on, I feel more and more like McCaine has become a puppet for the Republican Party and no longer a voice in his own right.

Every once in a while he says something that actually sounds like John McCaine and you can tell the difference. It is going to be very interesting to see how he actually stands on his own when he has to begin debating one on one with Obama. Where HAS the real John McCaine gone?

McCain flat out sux.

SAY THAT AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN JOHN. YOU'RE SO RIGHT ON. THE MAN IS A CORRUPT INDIVIDUAL. SHAME ON YOU HILLARY FOR ALLOWING YOURSELF TO BE PUT UNDER THE TRAIN.

It's hard to tell if McCain is senile or is it just another lie from the republicans.

McCain is really pressing these non-issues isn't he? I find it funny how he is saying so little about Iraq or the economy – because he knows he's wrong. Instead, he is hoping everyone will vote, or at least refrain from voting, on behalf of thinking "well, i just don't trust obama." THIS ELECTION IS ABSOLUETLY NOT ABOUT TRUST. You just want it to be about trust, so that it isn't about Iraq, Iran, or the economy. If it was about trust, none of us would vote at all – because no politician can be trusted. NONE.

anyway, Obama was financed by the public. I don't understand how that isn't Public Financing – just cutting out the middle man.

also, the idea that he has become a "typical politician" because of it is a little silly. How many politicians in the past refused the Public Financing program?

Hey, Obama supporters: Using thousands of exclamation points, distorting the opponent's last name and making obnoxious statements about age and use of diapers will NOT work in this election. These so-called educated urbanites (I am one of them) should be ashamed of themselves. McCain is as flawed as the entire Republican Party. Obama is no saint either and is certainly not helped by the drivel posted by his followers.

McCain get over it your upset about "Money"

You cannot act as if your word is golden my goodness you have been all over every main issue. I guess it depends on who you are speaking to and what year it is. Be honest! America appreciate straight talk. If your mad just say it and get on with what changes we need to move forward. PLEASE NOT APPEALING!!!!!

Patrick..who is BARRACK? learn to spell his name correctly if you want to make a statement against him...LOL

McCain shouldn't talk about ANYONES word not being trustworthy..they are ALL POLITICIANS..which makes them ALL LIARS..this is a slippery slope that he should NOT want to even be on....

I'm sorry, but George Bush Sr. left the economy and government budget in shambles (largely thanks to Reagan), Gerald Ford's administration left rampant inflation and helped fuel the conflict in East Timor which is still broiling today, and Herbert Hoover left the great depression, which he may not have directly caused, but efforts to reduce its effects only exacerbated the money supply problem.
Which Republican presidents (other than perhaps Eisenhower) left the United States in good shape as a Democratic president took over?

I'm not saying that the Democrats always do a perfect job, but I don't believe that Republicans leave more stability. I think Bill Clinton left the nation in a better situation than any Republican has, with a booming economy and organized efforts that actually came close to capturing Osama bin Laden (the warnings about whom Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney brushed aside in favor of focusing on Iraq at the beginning of the Bush administration).

McCain, McWar, McBush, McNafta he is the one who cannot be trusted.

OBAMA 08

McCain, you are the biggest liar. You are worst than Bush. Comparing Bush and McCain is not being fair to Bush. Bush is indeed better than McCain in decision taking.
You don’t have conscience that’s the reason you left your first wife.

OBAMA 08,12

Hillarious. John McCain took public financing when he put it up for collateral on a private loan early in the primary race. And, then he flipped flopped by paying the loan back and went private until he realized he couldn't raise enough money and then opted again for public financing after Barack Obama opted out of public financing so he could say Barack flip flopped. The only shoes he knows how to wear are Bush's!

Of course!

Just remember that Obama is just another typical Chicago-made, Chicagoan-style politician........therefore, he will continue to say anything, to do anything to get power........That includes manipulating words, facts, values, religion, feelings, public image, and, of course, us, the common people..........

God Bless America!!!

NO chance MAC. YOU should leave this race ASAP.

McCain, why didn't you pay your property taxes for 4 YEARS...maybe because it was just one of AT LEAST (maybe more) 7 homes you and the beer queen own. Your worht more than 100 million and you dont pay taxes and you have credit card debt over $100,000

and Im supposed to trust YOU....doubt it

Are you kidding.

Obama 08

I wish to thank McCains campaign managers for adopting the same tactics used by Hillary's campaign managers. They took her from a 20 point lead to absolute defeat! How did they manage this? They felt by attacking Obama she could win. Keep it up McCain managers!

McCain what makes your words more trustworthy and last time i check we need more than just words we need a better nation

McCain is the TRASH TALK EXPRESS.....All he has done is sit on committees for 20 years and people call him EXPERIENCED... How stupid is this?
Obama/Biden08

Desperate people say desperate things.

President Obama is the one flying around in his jet with his company, the Media.

McCain took a tough position on immigration until he ran for the nomination, then he dropped that like a hot potato... (oh, my immigration bill, no I wouldn't vote for that now, border security is what will get me elected, I mean border security is what the people want).

let's see McCain has changed his mind on global warming, offshore drilling, immigration........and that's just recently!!! i'd keep going back but McCain's got a hell of a lot to years to look in to. I don't trust McCain's word but maybe it's because i don't trust that he could remember where he parked his bus without aides helping him find it

Trust.....After years of Dems complaining about the Repubs, now that the Dems are controlling Congress I see "nothing' getting done-still. And I'm supposed to trust them...And, all the Dems are offering us is a Jr senator with no experience??? "Scrapping" Hillary altogether?
Have we forgotten about trusting Jimmy Carter; Following Nixon & Gerald Ford (Ford was probably the most honest man ever to be in the White House) . Jimmy Carter led us right into stagflation, interest rates @ 22% and a micro-managed hostage standoff that made us the mockery of the rest of the Globe. And Ronald got the hostages back by an arms deal. Don't agree with those tactics? Well-just ask one of the freed hostages for their view on it...
Obama will "change" things alright. He'll "negotiate" us right back into a hostage crisis-OR WORSE. The terrorist organizations will walk all over him-period. And has everyone forgotten who got us into Afganistan in the first place? Bill Clinton–A DEMOCRAT. long before Bush Jr. I remember how people trusted Bill... Oh-and for those that want to blame the Repubs about the 4000+ soldier losses so far (which includes "Bill's" Afganistan)-remember the tens of thousands lost in Vietnam? Under LBJ? A DEMOCRAT….who sent the first marines in 1965.
I'm an independent voter-and for me it's a no brainer; Even though I don't really trust any politician. It's McCain all the way...My gut tells me the terrorists will think twice before screwing with him...

I dont trust you McCain, you flip flop and lie too much so pls don't try point at obama.....Obama ROCKS!

look at the pot calling the kettle black
how sick can this old fart be
he is senile and totally out of touch
he is a sick old bahamainman

No one can really trust either of these fools. Ron Paul should be our next president. Not the idealistic flip-flopper or the realistic flip-flopper.

The democrats took over congress in 2006 with words of change and Pelosi and her group has done nothing in 2 years! Obama will be the same.

I didn't know that church was racist – William Ayers, who is he – We should all take public financing – I love the folks in Western Pa. – It was just a little money I needed from Rezko – Did I say I would bomb Pakistan – This is just the tip of the ice-burg folks, he's right, you can't trust a word that comes out of his mouth. But those of you who think he's the next coming, it won't matter. We could have a picture of him committing a crime on a child, and you would all stand up and cheer. WAKE UP. The village called, they want there Idiot back.

john mccain need to realize that he is talking about pointless issues, so what if obama didnt take public financing, if he were in the situation that obama was in he would have done the exact same thing, obama can be trusted and i trust him, he will bring much needed leadership that this country has been deprived of for th last 8 years

funny aware, cheating on and leaving your wife for a richer younger model is..."good moral character"?

Keating5 is bad business for a great country...is that what you mean when you say "power hungry"?

taking public trips on his wife's private jet...seems a little "pompous" ah...dont ya think?

Keating 5 speaks volumes of this mans "character"

just like our returning vets trust your word?you dont think vets deserve benefits after their service.you've gotten everything in life for free since being pow,while those who dont surrender,get nothing.

Funny coming from a candidate who failed to pay taxes on one of his homes for 4 years till newsweek was gonna out him. They paid on the 27th (2days ago)...and they STILL OWE more...This we trust to fix the mortgage meltdown...someone who doesn't pay all of his own household debt!!!

Yeah, because the words of a slimey republican can be trusted??

please mac war,i urge you to continue with the kitchen sink
see what it did for hillary.
so please,keep up.
old loser

I find it hard to beleive that trying to justify Obama's lies in comparison to McCain's makes it right.Hillary was right all along!!!

Hillary supporter
McCain 08

Ahh the "double talk express”. This from the politician who reneged on off-shore drilling. The same guy who reversed course on immigration-reform. This from the same guy who has just been cited by Newsweek as not having paid taxes (FOR 4 YEARS, NO LESS) on seven properties that he and Cindy-Lou own. They only paid them on Friday after being caught and still owe some $1700.

The Republicans know that they can't win this election on the issues. Instead they use fear issues and emotional appeals to cast doubt in the minds of those who can't or won't decide for themselves based on facts.

CNN...........Sen. John McCain told a fundraiser in Kentucky Saturday night, “Senator Obama’s word cannot be trusted”............AND according to you McSame............PRESIDENT CARTER (A LOUSY PRESIDENT)....TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR SIR!!..............Stop pointing YOUR FiNGER......And FACE UP TO what you STAND FOR.....
That, my friends, is an elitist attitude that McCain shares. We need a president who is willing to at least make an effort to understand the lives of the people whom he vow to represent on the world map.

wow,i am beginning to believe this man is indeed senile.
i would recommend you to the senility old folks home in arizona.
you are crazy.

Talk about who is calling the kettle black – Mr McCain you need to listen to yourself when you speak of who can be trusted. It has become clear to me that you will say anything and do anything to get what you want – In 2000 I was almost sure that you were the man for us – you seemed like a man who would not listen to the old lines and ways and would do things that the people needed – now you would have us say in Irag for years to come – extend tax cuts for the richest among and leave the burden on those who can least afford it – you have suggested pandering by stopping gas taxes for 3 months – all you will be is an extension of what is already in place – this just cannot be we must not let the BUSH/CHENEY ideas continue. There must be a new way and that way is OBAMA 08.

Obama has several gaffes and has been caught in several lies. McCain has been caught in dozens of completely contradictory policy positions - lies - time and time again. I was hoping the GOP I grew up with would come back, not more of this neo-con b.s. Go back to your prison camp, McCain, we don't want you (even your own party!).

McCain why didn't you pay your property taxes for 4 years?

People should just look at the evidents of what Obama has said and done, then it should be pretty clear that he is a typical Chicago politician.

ha ha ha
this coming from a man who doesnt know his left from his right?
its laughable
i had respect for this man,but i have lost it all
he has disrespected a former us president,and a us senator and future president.
i am appalled at his horrible behaviour.
you,mr mccain are a warmonger and will never ever get a chance to ruin this country
foolish old idiot

Obama is a snake who will do anything and say anything that will help stoke his overwhelming ambition and avarice. I have been a democrat all my life and have never been ashamed of it until now. The only good thing that could come of an Obama presidency would be that all of the disgusting members of the democratic leadership that threw Senator Clinton under the bus and endorsed Obama will be made to pay for that endorsement when he shows himself to be even worse than G.W. Bush.

McCain why did you not pay your property taxes for 4 years? A man who doesn't honors his contracts isn't worth his words.

Republicans have lied for the last 8 years and you are an extension of that policy. I'll take ANY Democrat over the lies your party has told the people.

OBAMA.........NOPE!

Its your words (John McCain) I don't trust. I trust Obama completely.

That's rich coming from the KING of reversing positions.

Get a clue, McSame.

Well his word might be trusted, if you knew which word he was talking about. It seems that he says one thing to one group of people in the morning and then another thing to another group of people in the afternoon.

I have to laugh when I think of all the times they called Kerry a flip flopper over nothing. And obama's the biggest one we have...OH BUT I suppose he calls it "change"....guess that's the kind of change he is referring to, changing his mind every four hours. Wonder he isn't in a constant state of dizziness.

McCain now sings different tunes to get elected. Not a chance.

While we won't all agree with everything Obama says or does, he's ar more believable and the best choice to get this country back on track. the Bush-McCain team keeps us bogged down forever in this religious civil war in Iraq, between the Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds who want to kill each other for control of the Iraq, then to kill us Infidels. All to keep big business and big oil making big money. it's time for Iraq to take control of their own country and fund their rebuilding with their own oil money.

McCain is correct. Obama has flip-flopped so many times now and has gotten away with it every time. What will it take for the media to be critical of Obama!!!!

If you want some real news, try the BBC web. They have real journalists there I hear.

Here you get balanced news. Even if McCain says something stupid, they pretend like it is reasonable so no one thinks they are being biased.

I also noticed that virtually all comments to posts are idiotic and do not reflect the views of reasonable people. Anyone else notice that?

McCain is a flip-flopper of some note; his stance on immigration, offshore drilling, torture, Bush's tax cuts, and his own campaign financing during the primary. In light of the troubles our country is in, it would seem the crux of McCain's campaign should be more than namecalling– he is so behind the curve of what average Americans want, the last thing he wants to do is discuss issues.

What about your promise to run a campaign thats not certered around character attacks? Can't teach an old dog new tricks eh?

John McCain is a FRAUD.

He has to say these things for ANYBODY to pay attention to him.

The Republican party is going down in flames in another Nixonesque or Hooveresque (pick your historical example) debacle.

Good riddance.

McCain wants to talk about trust? He has turned away from everything that made him great. He has embraced all that is GW Bush to win his parties nomination. He has a lot of nerve bringing up trust. He has flipped on almost all the positions he was held. McCain is the candidate that lacks in trust.

I agree! Obama cannot be trusted. He has shown that he will fight the dirtiest fignt in his quest for power. I don't agree with McCain's positions on many issues but I can look at his record and see what he believes. I look at Obama's record and I don't believe he believes anything, except in his own quest for power. I wish one of these men would give me a reason to vote for him.

McCain sidesteps this trust thing because he changes his positions with every audience...

Hah!! And does he think I would believe ANYTHING a dirty republican says???

There are only 118 more days until McCain goes back to the Senate.

Is this another comment McCain will flip flop on?
Picture it, he is trying to get a popitical plum from President Obama, and it will be all cheesy smiles and complements.

You are a liar, sir.

What Sen. Obama promised was to accept public financing IF you would agree to rein in soft money from the parties and from 527's. You were not interested in such an agreement where you hold a large structural advantage. It's not Barack Obama's word that needs to be called into question, it's your wobbliness on issues like torture, immigration and offshore drilling that should worry the voters.

And why should we trust your words? you keep flip floppying

Ted June 29th, 2008 10:25 am ET

And you would turn down $500 million dollars from legit donors?

-----------------------

I can see why he did it and would have done the same thing, but to try to spin it that he did not say one thing and did the other is same old way of doing things.

Obama should just come out and say "My original statement on public financing was stupid and I would be a fool to stick to it." his decision to rethink his position shows he is an intelligent and self aware candidate who is not afraid to change his mind when he discovers he is wrong.

ANd we can trust your word? I think not. If you are talking about public financing, I wonder why would you expect Obama not to be as prepare as he could possibly be. If it is up to making hard decision, I trust Obama completely. Personally, I would have wondered if he was really serious about this election if only use 84M when he use 240M in a primary.

I also want someone who will adjust or shift if the situation calls for it.

Its your words that I don't trust.

the king of flip-flops speaks and noone listens.i trust obama much more than warmwonger mcsame.

OBama and his campaign are all fake – every move is staged to perfection. Hillary Clinton is the best qualified – but – the DNC picked the WEAK guy – who will never be elected – he is NOT qualified.
McCain is a good 2nd choice – at least we can TRUST him!

funny. I think the 1st Mrs. McC would have something to say about TRUST..... *** Cheater ***..!!!

Trust? what does he know about trust?
Carol his first wife trusted him too. trusted that he would love her through good times and bad times, richer or poorer till death did them part....or until a richer, hotter chick 18 years younger came along.
Arizona trusted McCain to represent them with honor...KEATING 5 he disgraced his state, the house and our country...

he said the Bush tax cuts are BAD FOR WORKING PEOPLE....now he he wants to make them permanent.

reversed himself on HIS OWN LEGESLATION dealing with immigration...it was his own legislation for GOD sakes.

AMERICA PLEASE THINK!!!!!! McCain is a lire and a cheat! NO more bush!!!! if you don't like Obama, for what ever your reasons may be, whether is be his policies or his race(thoughs of you pain me) if you dont like Obama because his tie...what ever vote for anyone but McCain. McCain CAN NOT BE TRUSTED!!

however if you are sick of the condition of our economy, the WAR. gas prices, food prices, weak dollar then vote with intelligence vote with courage, vote with the strength that will obliterate the shackles the GOP has bind ed us by....VOTE OBAMA

applies to you too PUMA...just kool it kitty

Stupid War Monger!!! BOMB BOMB BOMB!!!

Atleast Obama uses words instead of bombs!

This from a man who has flip flopped on every issue and is once again a hipocrite about it. The dems may not have delived on Iraq but McCain clearly cannot be trusted on anything.

Obama talks about change and many Obama backers talk about he does not take money from "big oil", but look at the facts.

"Obama says “I do not take money from oil companies” but forgot to say that McCain does not either. Look up the Facts!!! Obama also forgot to say that 2 of his bundlers are top executives at oil companies that give $50,000 and $100,000 to him. That is a fact and you can even see that listed on his own website.
Two of Obama's fundraisers are Robert Cavnar, the chairman and chief executive of Houston-based Mission Resources Corp., and George Kaiser, the president and CEO of Tulsa-based Kaiser-Francis Oil Co."

And the change is where????? It is the same old thing.

When he was in financial trouble, starting in December 2007, McCain began to twist the campaign finance rules to suit his own sense of economic urgency. When McCain isn't making a fool of himself offering gratuitous solutions to serious issues, he's flip-flopping on every past issue upon which he's expressed a position or voted. Who's the liar between the two candidates? It's McCain the flip-flopper.

It's not being distrustful to reevaluate a situation and change your mind based on new information. That's called being logical. Only a fool maintains a course of direction when he realizes he's headed the wrong way. Once Obama realized he'd be doing himself a disservice by limiting himself to public funding, it was wise of him to opt out of it. I respect a leader who says "my original plan was flawed, so here's a better idea". Imagine where we'd be if Bush had this ability in Iraq (and numerous other poorly planned decisions) ? If this is all McCain can come up with against Obama, then November is going to be an easy victory and possible landslide for Obama.

McCain is RIGHT – obama is a FRAUD – and he says whatever he thinks will give him points politically. WHY did he stay in the radical, racist church for 20 yrs – political gain.
His whole campaign is a stage show – so fake.
What exactly does obama stand for???

McCain has changed his mind on almost ever major issue in this campaign. And we're supposed to trust him?

No... lets trust you and your bush buddies!

of course everything that Obama is saying won't necessarily turn out exactly like that.. no politician will ever be able to do everysingle thing they promise once they are elected.. well atleast no in the current time we are living in. BUT.. you think you will keep your word.. I don't think so.. more to the point.. what Americans will do is pick a leader, a captain, someone who guides the nation in a particual direction. FRANKLY you don't cut it.. you will push the country into more wars and more of the same old bush business....

The people of the country want some real substantive change and McBush my friend you ain't offering dat!

VOTE BARACK OBAMA NOVEMBER 4.

Too Funny!

Right Wing Candidate talks about "trust" after he and his Party nearly doubles the size of government, when they previously claimed they supported "smaller government."

Right Wing Candidate talks about "trust" after he and his Party more than double the national debt, when previously they claimed they supported "fiscal responsibility."

Right Wing Candidate talks about "trust" after he and his Party wage a religious "crusade" and foreign occupation against innocent families in the Middle East, when previously they claimed they supported "democracy."

Right Wing Candidate talks about "trust" after he and his Party institute a national policy of torture, justifying such unAmerican attrocities by claiming that calling torture something different, that somehow means it's no longer what it is.

Yeah, we sure can "trust" those Conservatives/Republicans.

ooooops I just pee on my depends…..the face says it all!

what about the G.I. BILL?
what about your campaign loaded with lobbyists?

we cannot trust you, and do NOT call me your friend, thank you

of course, another PRIVATE event, the master of the hidden

But McCain backed off on public financing during the primaries as well. Does not that count?

Why is he so 'bitter' on this issue anyway? Obama took a big risk by rejecting public financing but he had to do it, since DNC is broke and Hillary demands money from him as well.

Nothing but hyperbole from both sides. LOL

Obama's word cannot be trusted? How about McCain's? Today, McStupid is the same, male bimbo that couldn't remain trustworthy to his marriage vows when he returned from Vietnam in the 70s. Read the story of his treatment of his first wife to gain some insight into his trustworthiness.

Wait a sec how can you say he is the MOST liberal senator and then say he changes positions all the time???? Like everything McCain says it makes no sense...... Especially since he keeps changing his positions.

* McCain criticized TV preacher Jerry Falwell as “an agent of intolerance” in 2002, but has since decided to cozy up to the man who said Americans “deserved” the 9/11 attacks. (Indeed, McCain has now hired Falwell’s debate coach.)

* McCain used to oppose Bush’s tax cuts for the very wealthy, but he reversed course in February.

* In 2000, McCain accused Texas businessmen Sam and Charles Wyly of being corrupt, spending “dirty money” to help finance Bush’s presidential campaign. McCain not only filed a complaint against the Wylys for allegedly violating campaign finance law, he also lashed out at them publicly. In April, McCain reached out to the Wylys for support.

* McCain supported a major campaign-finance reform measure that bore his name. In June, he abandoned his own legislation.

* McCain used to think that Grover Norquist was a crook and a corrupt shill for dictators. Then McCain got serious about running for president and began to reconcile with Norquist.

* McCain took a firm line in opposition to torture, and then caved to White House demands.

* McCain gave up on his signature policy issue, campaign-finance reform, and won’t back the same provision he sponsored just a couple of years ago.

* McCain was against presidential candidates campaigning at Bob Jones University before he was for it.

* McCain was anti-ethanol. Now he’s pro-ethanol.

* McCain was both for and against state promotion of the Confederate flag.

* And now he’s both for and against overturning Roe v. Wade.

Funny - McCain doesn't keep HIS word either. Just four days after he was shot down, McCain broke his oath to keep the Military Code of Conduct when he offered, then gave, valid and valuable military information to his captors . . . and then participating in a filmed interview used for anti-American propaganda purposes . . . for personal gain (to "purchase" medical care he thought he should have but which was not generally available to POWs). I'm not pulling this out of thin air - McCain, in his own words both in an interview in the May 14, 1973 issue of US News and World Report, and in his own authobiography FAITH OF MY FATHERS, specifically admitted those facts. If he would break THAT oath - thereby betraying his country, the Navy, his ship and his shipmates - how can anyone be sure that he would keep, and not betray, the oath of office he takes after president. The country deserves better.

This from the KING OF FLIP-FLOPS???!!! It's going to be reported that this guy and Cindy-Lou Who failed to pay taxes on SEVEN properties that they own for 4 YEARS STRAIGHT. The taxes were paid on Friday (once the report surfaced), HOWEVER, some $1700 is still owed. And this creature has the unmitigated gall to question someone else's integrity??? And you PUMAS (or whatever the heck you call yourselves) are willing to vote for this clown as you struggle to pay your mortgages and taxes on your homes??? Better take another cold, hard look at this fraud...he's definitely a 3rd term of Bush...if not worse!!!!!!

And you would turn down $500 million dollars from legit donors?

It is true. I don't like what McCain has to say sometimes. But, he's honest and he says it like it is. Obama has been more of a politician than any of the candidates. He's like George Bush Senior, "Read my lips..." We can't trust anything Obama says. Obama only tells America what they want to hear. We all want change. We all want hope that things will get better. But life is hard and then we die. Heaven is the only change and hope we have in this life. The world is going to just get worse until the end.

McCain '08

That's an understatement!!

All of his solid positions as a candidate in the primaries are fading into a more conservative tone towards the general elections in order to pull in more conservative Americans.

So which Obama is he. The most liberal in the Senate, a moderate to the bone as he now portrays–or just a chameleon whose core values and political positions change to whatever envronment he finds himself in.

Will the real Barrack Hussein Obama–please reveal yourself.

No one cares about public financing when you're jobless and homeless!

Quick response needed about everything McCain broke his word.

Keep not letting any label stick Obama

So much for running an aboveboard campaign. Senator Has-Been is just getting desperate as the GOP continues to tank.

When American Continental Corporation, the parent of Lincoln Savings, went bankrupt in 1989, more than 21,000 mostly elderly investors lost their life savings.
In early 1987, at the beginning of his first Senate term, McCain attended two meetings with federal banking regulators to discuss an investigation into Lincoln Savings and Loan, an Irvine, Calif., thrift owned by Arizona developer Charles Keating. Federal auditors were investigating Keating's banking practices, and Keating, fearful that the government would seize his S&L, sought intervention from a number of U.S. senators.
After McCain's election to the House in 1982, he and his family made at least nine trips at Keating's expense, three of which were to Keating's Bahamas retreat. McCain did not disclose the trips (as he was required to under House rules) until the scandal broke in 1989. At that point, he paid Keating $13,433 for the flights
And in April 1986, one year before the meeting with the regulators, McCain's wife, Cindy, and her father invested $359,100 in a Keating strip mall.
John McCain told a fundraiser in Kentucky Saturday night, “Senator Obama’s word cannot be trusted”.
You know, this election is about trust, and trusting people’s word,
than we can believe we will be at war with Iraq for 100 more years.
GIVE ME A BREAK... THIS MAN IS A CROOK!!! KEATING 5 KEATING 5 KEATING 5 KEATING 5

Ok and your'san! Lol. Give me a freaking break! Stop with all of your @#$! pandering! You are not going to win!

Hmmm...Republicans talking to us about trust. Imagine that!?! These are the some folks who brought us 8 years of W. What a joke they are!!

McCain is absolutely right on this! You can't shift on immigration. We've got to do something. I am a teacher in a public school. A student who is unable to speak English receives more federal money to attend public schools than a regular education student. This is outrageous, but it happens. In fact, the amount of money is double that of a regular education student. Also, we are being told to lower our standards for testing for these students. They continue to get free and reduced breakfast/lunch, while tax payers continue to foot the bill. Our leaders need to wake up on this!

I don't know about "trusted word" but this country needs more than "words" today. Most Democrats take office on the promise for change after there is a solid economy and world stability left behind by the Republicans. It didn't happen this time around for a number of reasons, so the next President needs to be a leader. In the words of Lee Iococca.. Where have all our leaders gone??

You are an idiot McCain to think that we are idiots you liar.

I don't think that McCain (Lord Sidious) has any room to talk about keeping his word. McCain has switched postitons more times than a Las Vegas prostitute on Valentines Day.

McCain's nothing (not only word) can be trusted
OBAMA (2008 -16)

Thanks for stating the obvious!

President Obama is not the one flying around in his personel 737 jet..

Is mccain kidding? I mean is he serious? He has flip flopped on so much I have no idea where he stands on anything, does anyone? And this is from a man who has voted against every GI bill proposed, voted three weeks ago on a bill guarenteeing women equal pay, he's was for immigration reform, GOd only knows where is he now on it. Come on mccain, your a joke, seriously. I will take Obama's sound judgement over mccains so called 'experience' any day.

Ahahahahahahaha. McCain is telling me that Obama's word can't be trusted when he has switched his position at least once on almost every major issue that this country faces? Give me a break. At first it was a hundred years in Iraq, now it's out by 2013. Make up your mind and stop criticizing your opponent for making a strategically smart move.
