What have you all missed over the last generation that would allow you to throw America in the trash for more Republican policies and appointees.

Voting person over policy has all but completely lead us here. Voters loved Uncle Ronnie, voters knew the experienced Nixon, voters felt like they could sit down over beer and barbecue with Dubbya, and later felt safer with him, Bush I voters felt was experienced and a decider.

Republicans never win on policy, they win on fear and division. They win on dehumanizing their opponents. Whenever possible, they have proven to take advantage of racial, gender, and lifestyle fears.

McCain is the figurehead for a set of policies, as is Obama. How this is missed I can never guess. The country goes in the wrong direction because of the thought process shown in many of these postings.
Too many voters have programmed themselves to regularly go to the ballot box and support an agenda that is not only bad for the average joe but dangerous for the prospect of a better tomorrow and counter productive to the goal of a more perfect union because they like or are more comfortable with guy pushing the agenda.

How is the burden of proof not on the neocon philosophy? Has Republican leadership and direction not put one hell of a dent in our future and the American Dream?

Who cares about Obama, McCain, or Clinton? This is about agenda, policy, and appointees not only in the courts but administration of about every major arm of government.

Voting Republican again in the face of all the ruin is suicidal for our nation. I don't care who you like or fear my fellow Americans, the ONLY rational thought now is to stop the bleeding and get as many of these yahoos out of power as possible.

Republicans are bad for America. A vote for McCain is a vote for more of the same and you can paint it any other way.

I hope McCain's new campaign handlers kick Obama's butt and reveal him for the echo chamber he is.

it is going to take a lot more than the handlers (the same people who got Bush back into office...see how good that went) to stop ARMY AMERICA.

McCain supported in 2012 (if McCain won):
-i don't have a job.
-just lost my house
-gas is $10.00 a gallon
-we are at war with Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and others.
-we are isolated from the rest of the world.
-we owe China 100 trill.
-oh did i mention that i was sick the other day, but i could not afford to go to the doctor.
-the Mexican dollar is stronger than ours
-America has become the global swap meet
-i was going to go to the beach put the oil spill put and end to that
-oh, did i mention i am now paying more on taxes?
-crime is up.
but at least we didnt let a BLACK man get in the White House...we sure are patriots...idiots

WHAT DOES JOHN HAVE TO HIDE?
to the John is just were this country will be if YOU elect McCain like YOU elected BUSH...
for your education go to barackobama.com see his plan

To me this is basically race baiting. John McCain is saying "Hey Hispanic voters Barack doesn't care about you". This is completely ignorant and offensive. It is shocking how fast McCain has moved to the attack style politics.

There was a time when I thought I might vote for John McCain, but he is playing on people's fears and that is the most Bush thing he could do. The last thing we need is another Bush.

Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph..."

So, I ask, who is the better leader?

The DNC installed a good puppet, but the wrong nominee for the job facing America.

Good luck, McCain.... win over all us HRC supporters who were ridiculed, hated and insulted by our own party just for voting for the BEST candidate... who, so sorry,...didn't happen to be black.

My bad. Political correctness is more poweful than experienced leadership.

Take NAFTA, IRAQ, ... Hillary Clinton had it right from the start.

Now Obama is morphing into Clinton just to win votes.

Why not vote directly for the RIGHT leader? I did. But Oprah, the Media, tha black pundits, the DNC, Dean. Pelosi and others swiftboated her to make history with the first (only half) African American president.

This was the year for the treachery since no Republican can win and no Democrat can lose, right?

Wait and see. Hang tight and firm and solid for democracy all you Hillary supporters. Do not let your party be hijacked by this hateful, biased injustice just to FIX the nomination for an unqualified and inexperienced black man.

Greetings!

I was John McCain's Navy Flight Instructor - in formation tactics and air-to-air-gunnery. I could write a book about this man. Suffice to state, I shudder (and I'm fearless) at the nightmare thought of this man becoming our next President and Commander in Chief. I am not alone as to this man's former shipmates, instructors and senior officers - as to who and what this man is really all about. Although politics is really theater and the best performing actor gets to stay on the main stage - sorta like American Idol only much more dangerous to all living things - the performance and the make-over (re-invention) of this man is currently matched only by that of former LTC Oliver North, USMC (Ret.). Together on the same ticket, these two clowns would be real crowd pleasers in this sorry day and age of liars, banal dummies and limp-headed performers.

Thanx for having the guts to put the real deal information on the site re: John Sidney McCain III - since the mainstream media is much too lazy to put the real story on McCain out there for the rest of their lazy consumers.

Best regards,

CDR Jerry K. Loeb, USN (Ret.)
Palm Desert, CA

I voted for Hillary, because she had the better, well-thought out platform.

Now Obama will no longer get my be-true-to your-own- party loyalty vote.

Nearly every one of Obama's stances has "changed" since he became the democratic nominee. All to pander to the independents so he can win the election. Is that really "new politics" or the "same old"?

In fact, he's becoming more like Bush.

If you believe the 16 month statements on Iraq you are even sillier than Obama thinks you are. Get with it folks. He lied to you and he knew he was doing it.

Remeber when he ranted against Hillary and mocked and ridiculed her for saying a measured and safe withdrawl? Sounds like exactly what he is now saying.
This Liar is nothing new…no new change…no new attitudes and he sure as hell won't bring the party much less the country together.

It is ok Obama fans you can now admit it you were sold a bunch a crafty speaches(lies) to win the primary ….Now he will run to the center….and lose. Oh by the way, when Bill ran(and won…twice) he already was in the center. This Obama will stoop so low to win the white house….Look out Oprah…after 20 years he will throw you under the bus too.

He is willing to keep out the illegals at the expense of jobs in the US. Now that is change we can believe in. However, it is also change we cannot afford if we want to turn around this country.

We need to stop spending 10-12 billion a month on a war that was ill advised. We need to stop giving big corporations big breaks while the rest of us struggle to put gas in our cars and food on the table. I hate to break it to you but so many of you keep saying $5 gas, how about $6 by Christmas. We are nearly at $5 here in Cali.

Obama is such a slimey politician! Is this the kind of change he wants? Say one thing to win the nomination and then change when you have it in the bag?

Sorry, this is not change, politicians have been doing it for years and Obama is just pulling the wool over his supporter's eyes. Just the liberal version of political sheep.
The conservative sheep voted Bush in twice, mesmerized by his Rove written speeches and fear mongering, now the liberal sheep are mesmerized by Obama's "change".

His are "teleprompter/preacher sounding" speeches. Oh and don't forget about fist bumping! Is that the new Macerana?! That alone should get him elected! Which unknown pop idol is next for president?

Possibilities are endless in our dumbed down society. Can't anyone think for themselves anymore? Open your eyes folks.

until you learn to spell America, I don't think anyone is going to be taking your advice.

I was an Independent for Obama, but I am getting to the point where I dread to see him talk because he sounds more and more like George Bush.

Can't he look at or think of anything that is NOT Bush-related?

Bush's 3rd term -

So, I do think that Mc Cain is acceptable for the Republicans but Obama for the Democrats?

The Democratic party should think very hard before just handing the party over to him at the convention. I'm a life long Democrat not voting for him and many others are becoming dissatisfied with him.

The man came out from nowhere, couldn't bother with working at his job in the senate and then decided to run for President. He doesn't even know what he doesn't know because he's too inexperienced and ignorant.

He pretty much was put up for the senate by Chicago pols and it is the same with the presidency. God knows who's writing the speeches, if his earpiece falls out, he can't even string sentences together.

I don't approve of Republican policies, but I do know McCain is a human who takes work seriously and tries hard. He has a temper (Obama is known to have one too.) but is pretty independent of thought when it comes right down to it.

Even the fact that the Republicans decided to let him in on the Columbia hostage crisis says something. He'll earn respect with Latino voters visiting their homelands and supporting free trade. We need these countries and the connection people here have with them are important.

Gen Clarke was right. John McCain's wartime experience does not qualifiy him to be president. It does serve as experiene in relation to foreign affairs, but that's it. There is alot more to being President than just foreign affairs. There's the economy, legislation, the Supreme Court, domestic policy and many other hats must be worn. John McCain is no more suited to be President than Kerry was. Not to mention his bad temper, which will put into more wars if he is elected.

Here is a glimpse of what is happening right now: "ABC NEWS – Barack Obama aligned himself with welfare reform on Monday, launching a television ad which touts the way the overhaul "slashed the rolls by 80 percent." Obama leaves out, however, that he was against the 1996 federal legislation which precipitated the caseload reduction.

"I am not a defender of the status quo with respect to welfare," Obama said on the floor of the Illinois state Senate on May 31, 1997. "Having said that, I probably would not have supported the federal legislation, because I think it had some problems."

Obama's transformation from critic to champion of welfare reform is the latest in a series of moves to the center. Since capturing the Democratic nomination, the Obama campaign has altered its stances on Social Security taxes, meeting with rogue leaders without preconditions, and the constitutionality of Washington, D.C.'s, sweeping gun ban.

The shift in Obama's rhetoric on welfare reform has proceeded in stages. When former President Bill Clinton was poised to sign welfare reform while running for re-election in 1996, Obama called it "disturbing." A decade later, as an underdog running for president against Clinton's wife, he spent 2007 avoiding the subject. By the time Obama emerged as the Democratic frontrunner in the spring of 2008, he began leaving the impression that he was for it all along."

So far, Obama has flipped-flopped and made "change" on every issue he ran on during primaries.

People: Do you really think he is fit to be the President of the United States of America? How can you believe a word that comes out of his mouth?

Sen. McCain run the ad now to highlight Obama's "change".

They didn't want Hillary because she is for the people. Oddly enough they don't want McCain either because he is also for the people.

Please think for yourself America. Obama is already bought and paid for. Only the rich and powerful could have put him where he is today with no experience and surrounded by shady characters.

People that refuse to vote for him are being silenced and threatened.

McCain is the only choice because staying home, writing Hillary's name in or voting for a third party candidate won't keep Obama out of the Whitehouse.

Obama can't keep his stories straight and has embraced half of W's policies already.
