Did you see McCain try, stumble, stammer and nearly drool when pegged
on the Viagra and the birth control discrepancy - Seriously pitiful !

McCain will be the oldest President ever elected - and it shows…

Let's see, which way is the wind blowing today? I'll sway that way.

Here's a concept…if these candidates actually stood by the principles they believe in rather than pandering (and swaying) to each and every group that comes along, perhaps they could remember what they voted for.

Here is a fact: no matter where you stand on ANY issue, there will always be someone that doesn't like it. That doesn't make you a bad person, that is just the way it is! The President will have to make a lot of decisions while in office, some of which are painful and don't sit well with some contingencies. That, too, is just the way it is.

You mean you're not believing all of McCain's lies and reporting them as truth…have we hit the twilight zone? Reporting the truth?!?!?!?

*faints*

And they call Obama a typical politician???
It's all a game but at least Obama can keep track of his attacks.

So how is it still a tough stand if you don't actually show up?

I hope the media will continue to exposure these issue. McCain and his camp continuously say things that are flat out incorrect and it is hardly mentioned. Obama makes a consistent statement about the war in Iraq and a completely manufactured flip-flop charge hits every media channel for days. And yes Obama DID NOT change his position on Iraq. Finally today someone from an independent fact check group came on TV and said they reviewed all the tapes on Obama and any allegations that he changed his position on Iraq is absolutely false.

The name Teflon John is accurate. He says and does anything and the media lets it go.

McCain IS a WALKING MISFIRE! He can't tell the difference between Sunni and Shia; he hired Phil Gramm to give him economic advice, the mastermind of the Enron loophole which has led speculators to drive gas prices sky high (not to mention he gave us the bank deregulation which led to the mortgage crisis), and now McCain favors keeping the insane Bush tax cuts for the rich which will bankrupt the country! Face it, bitterly partisan Republicans: This guy isn't smart enough for the Presidency! McCain = Bush 3. NOT FOR ME!!!

OK ITS OFFICIAL: THE MEDIA WANTS BARACK OBAMA TO BE PRESIDENT. SO DO WE HAVE TO VOTE. EVERYTHING HE DOES AND SAYS IS PERFECT AND IF HE MAKES A MISTAKE, THEY MAKE IT OVER FOR HIM. I AM HAPPY FOR OBAMA, ALTHOUGHI PREFERRED MRS. CLINTON. BUT REMEMBER, THE MEDIA DID THE SAME THING FOR GEORGE BUSH WHEN HE FIRST RAN FOR OFFICE. THEY PAID LITTLE ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT HE DID NOT KNOW WHO THE LEADERS WERE OF SOME OF THE WORLD'S MOST UNSTABLE COUNTIRES. NOW LOOK AT THE CONDITION THE WORLD IS IN NOW.

Exactly what has Obama done since he has been involved in politics?

He dosen't vote except to say "present" He flip flops on the issues
or lies. The Obama supporters keep bashing Hillary and saying Obama dosen't need her, then why in Gods name is he begging
for her help. She is selling herself to the devil, Sen. Clinton raise
your own money to pay off your debt, you don't need Slick Willy, and you will regret campaigning for him if he is elected. He will be worse
for this country than the last 8 years with Bush.

Sorry CNN but MSNBC had this story a few days ago. If you weren't always reporting drivel about Hillary this could have been one of your top headlines.

To me it's a testament to how bad McCain and George Bush have been for this country when people so desperately harken back to the grand old days of Ronald Reagan (not Regan). What actually happened under Reagan? Communism fell apart under its own weight. Great job, Republicans. We need someone who can split the difference between these two stupid warring parties, and that's Obama. McCain should stop pretending that he's a moderate. Cartoons here: http://spinachflame.wordpress.com/

McCain, while I support Obama, I have much more respect for you than I do Bush. That said, please get your facts straight.

This is typical. Why are we giving McCain more credit than he deserves? He does this all of the time. Is it his age???

People say that age should not be an issue. Every time McCain makes an error likes this, I start to wonder how his age is affecting him. Forgetting who the U.S. is fighting Iran or Iraq and other errors call into question his age. Fair or unfair, his age is a question mark in my mind. To me, McCain is clearly not the same energetic maverick of 2000. I can not trust that he has the capacity at his age to govern the country. That is too bad because back in 2000, I was a big supporter of McCain. It is time for a change and means Obama.

Rather be a liberal than a conservative anyday. Conservatives like living in the past while liberals strive for the future.

remeber mcbush said he would stay in Iraq for a HUNDRED YEARS if necessary, which is about how old he is.

CNN please continue to re*run the story with McCain acting like a deer in headlights when the reported questioned him about not voting for healthcare coverage for birth control pills!! I LOVE IT!! It is hilarious! Now that is a kodak moment. Who cares what Jesse Jackson said about Obama. I want to see more of John McCain's "snooby doo" moment!

Look people- how about we ignore the media so they stop reporting on these two knuckleheads until say October? Everyone knows that every politician is in it for themselves and all they do is lie, cheat and steal. Obama has NO CLUE how to run a country, the guy can't even run his own household and McCain is TOO OLD to be a president. We wonder why our country is going down hill- b/c all you morons jump on the bandwagon of whichever party you are for. You cannot believe anything these people say or most anything you see on You tube. I will say this with CERTAINTY —Obama will NOT win in 08′. The GOP machine will dismantle him by September and he'll go write a book about how global warming is killing his children.

Ron Paul 08′

McCain- What button was I supposed to push?
SS- Sir, the yellow button
McCain- What did I push
SS- Sir, you pushed the red button
McCain- What does the red button do?
SS- We just started WWIII

Are we surprised? McCain can't remember what he had for breakfast.

Unbelievable. Yet another McSame gaff. Next we will find out that his idea of economic relief is using his wife's fortune to buy everyone groceries and fly them to work every day in her private jet. This guy is not fit to be president of the AARP.

These are not the only mistakes he made this week:

1. McCain unambiguously called Social Security "an absolute disgrace."

2. McCain's top economic policy adviser calls Americans a bunch of "whiners" for being worried about the slumping economy

3. Iraqi leaders call for a timetable for U.S. withdrawal, McCain gets caught in a bizarre denial and flip flop.

4. McCain's economic plan to cut the deficit has no details and is simply not believable

5. McCain's deficit plan includes bringing the troops home represents a major Iraq flip-flop

6. McCain campaign misled about economists support

7. McCain makes a joke about killing Iranians.

8. McCain denies, flatly, that he ever said that he is not an expert in economics

I think the best word to describe McCain at this point would be…"Hypocrite?"

I’m voting for Obama but this is the first election in which I like and respect both candidates. I encourage my fellow Obama supporters to please stop belittling Mr. McCain and don’t underestimate this man.

If you want to attack McCain do it on his policy positions, not his age or short-term memory. All that does is make you look ignorant and it reflects bad on the party as a whole.

I'm starting to hear alot of this from McCain. You can keep putting this off as mistakes. He doesn't know Sunni from Sheia, Samolia from Suddan, His votes for Veterens needs, Senators stand on health care, energy and just about every policy. Either he doesn't really know or he lies. Lies would be bush like. Maybe it's old age? That would explain it.
Even Lou Dobbs is starting to report on it. You know it must be bad. McCain is wrong for America and allies himself with people who would call you - who's jobb got outsourced and your loosing your home, a whinner?
Vote Obama and lets get this country back on track

He forgot that he was in Bosnia landing under sniper fire.

OBAMA 2008

Wow…People stop posting polls in your comments, seriously.

Here's why: A candidate can win without being ahead in the % of americans voting for him.

Look at the college electoral map, it shows obama up by ~40 points with half of the toss up states leaning towards Obama.

People don't realize how smart the Obama campaign really is. McCain could even be ahead in the national poll for all they care, Obama will still win as of now.

Obama 08

Let me get this straight. Both these guys are running for President as they say of the Free World. They don't where they are when an important vote takes place. What a tragedy?

Too bad cnn doesn't report all the false claims that obama makes as false claims. If I didn't know better, I would think cnn is just another arm of the obama campaign.

ok..This is a concern when sen. Mccain has made so many statements that he has or has not said or voted for something and when some research is done its just the opposite..This man obviously has a memory issue even with things only weeks ago. I am sorry but do we really want a president with these issues..of course its up to the voters but it really concerns me

Obama's message==What don't ever have a real job, don't ever be a boss of anything, don't take a risk on a venture, give lectures to others
about being lazy!!!, and shake down folks for guilt cash. Yeah Obama
has a great message

It seems that Sen. McCain is becoming more easily confused. I have to admit that seeing him try to answer the question on the covered Viagra drug vs. a Birth control drug at an interview yesterday by a reporter he seemed TOTALLY disconnected and perplexed. My 90 yr old grandparents get that way sometimes……I actually felt sorry for him and I felt relieved when the TV clip was completed. I support Obama …… but the McCain folks need to screen this stuff more closely. McCain may end up getting sympathy votes only……not what we would like our President to be…. came across as not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

What doesn't seem to ever get questioned is the wisdom of labeling part of the military of a sovereign country a "terrorist" organization in the first place.

By what definition, that does not also apply to the US military and the CIA, are they terrorists?

This kind of childish rhetoric renders the term "terrorist" meaningless.

Both campaigns seem in disarray as they gear up for the national elections. McCain's vaunted experience will do only harm if he continues to falter when calling upon that experience. Obama will continue to have a difficult time reaching back to a non-existent past. The media will be going back to Clinton's comments for context and ammo; I'm not sure I'd avise McCain's staff to do the same—they don't know how to use the information.

To "TN 62 Republican woman" and her "You Clinton People" comment and tone: That's never been a very useful or helpful avenue for discussions at the presidential level. We still have to deal with the fact aht there are at least 18,000,000 million voters in that group, nearly as much as Obama, running on her known record, and more than McCain, a supposedly highly experienced politician. Let's not insult any of these fine people, ok?

Obama said he wouldn't vote for FISA and he did just that. This is the politics of change? Politics of change your mind or change your lie perhaps.

We Clinton "people" are angry because she IS the choice of the people, and the DNC decided that Obama was better for the country. We will not sit by and watch Obama cave to Bush on FISA and war funding, which he promised not to do! While we can NEVER vote for McCain, we will not sit by and watch Obama turn into a Republican either. We will hold him and his blind supporters accountable right up til the election and beyond. And if he is wise, he will put her on the ticket beside him, so that he can benefit from her counsel and her knowledge. She is the best, the only, choice for VP at this point.

Ronald Regan was a REPUBLICAN,

Obama is a liberal, socialisty Democrat.

So, don't copy how to run the country you Democrats,

McCain will be one of the best presidents and don't copy his style. Obama.

McCain 008.

This misstep by Sen. McBush just proves that the man has lost his bearings again! Sen. McBush needs to get his facts straight before allowing words to slip out of his face. I thought George Bush was bad enough, but Sen. McBush takes the cake.

PUMAS, is this your man really? Look at the Viagra interview on you-tube and ask yourself again….how can anyone SANE vote for this guy?

McCain is now acting like Hillary. Lets call this "Truth Stretching".

McBush needs to sit down… and retire. Just go get an RV and travel with your funny looking wife

Memory is the second thing to go…

McCain's age has really never been an issue with me, but this is getting ridiculous.

Blunder after blunder, mistake after mistake.

Obama is not perfect by any means, but someone needs to go over McCain's voting record with his before he speaks again.

does it scare anyone else that a presidential candidates inital reaction is just to lie without even thinking, ot a point where it's almost reflexive in order to make himself look good and the other guy bad.

Looks like McSame is starting to realize that he's losing ground, time to scrounge up some nonsense to make Obama look bad. He's going to win by a landslide, get over it already. Do people not realize how small the chances are that McSame will win? Iraq wants us out, the economy is terrible, McSame is a liar, need any more clues to be convinced? Do you McSame voters actually think that Obama will be that bad? I think you are all terribly naive.

I heard on NPR yesterday afternoon that he also forgot that he voted against a bill that would make birth control for women covered by health insurance . . . but VIAGRA is!

Here we go again, another politician with a selective bad memory. Cut it out McCain, this isn't straight talk, it's selective senior talk.

CNN — do Obama supporters really post resposes here at a rate ten times higher than McCain supporters, or are your just choosy in what to post?

Obama supporters — just how many of you are capable of writing a response that doesn't include bile, invective, insults, grammatical errors, and condescension?

Mcgaffe.
McBush
McArcane
Mc…doesn't know what he is talking about.
McFliflop
McAngry

he should just start wearing face make-up and call himself Ronald…

or run for Mayor and Change his name to McCheese…then all the huffing and puffing wouldn't probably get Iran responding with huffing and puffing and testing faulty missiles.

Let's gather all the lies, all the flips, the flops, line them up, and compare.

I can't keep up with all of them, as reported.

Like a new car compared to an old one, which one has the least defects, would be the most dependable, and give you the most comfort for the long haul. Will the high mileage scare you off, or will the modern styling be the deal maker.

I want to see side-by-side stats. I don't want to compare the sounds of their mufflers.

Long long time ago, there was a great man and patriot and keeper of rights for every person, named John McCain. Does really anyone know what happened to him?

Bush killed America, McCain will surely bury it.

Are these the only two we have to choose from out of everyone else in the U.S.?

that's why you have a campaign staff so they can re-check before you speak….these slip ups are too often and doesn't make a presidential candidate look good…..Obama 2008/2012

McCain's mistakes, lies and record reversals have become unbearable. Bush drove me from the (now fascist-like) GOP . . . McCain's lack of qualifications, terrible memory, raging anger against any one who calls him on his lies or inconsistencies, disregard (and anger) against women, missing more votes than Obama on crucial issues, not voting FOR supporting our troops, etc., etc., etc., . . . suggests to me that my old party is now run by and supported by people with little conscience, honor or depth of character. McCain will lose and if he doesn't, the country will (as if we have much left to lose because of Bush).

I will sleep wery well , thank you , when McCain is in the White House!

McCain 008

Wake up people…do you really think that EITHER of these two have what it takes to lead this country. It's real sad state of affairs when we have to pick between an over the hill man who has memory lapses and a man who has minimal experience in leadership, let alone politics. McCain = continued unrest. Obama = can you sleep at night wondering who he'll put in the top positions in his cabinet? We're $crewed America if these are our only two options.

in this case, what matters is the intent.

Obama has claimed to have voted against Iraq war several times, but that was his intent to vote against War, he actually nevr voted.

Tee Shirts I have created thus far on the 2008 election.

1. It's the silly season
2. i reject "and denounce" him
3. Shame on you Barack Obama!
4. GD America!
5. White people support me! HRC 08
6. Terrorist Fist Jab
7. Watch out for snipers!
8. HRC 08 - She's likeable enough
9. There's a black man stealing my show!

10. and the one I am making today 'It's just a 'mental' recession;".

For being the stalwart guy we are supposed to trust "in the time of war," it's truly frightening just how often McCain strays into la-la land…..

The children making comments on this site should grow up and stop calling people names (McBush, McMoron). How old are you anyway? McCain may forget a few votes but he has years of votes to forget or remember. Obama has not been in the Senate long enough to have voted on many bills and he did not vote on most of the bills he shoulda/coulda/woulda voted for because after 18 months in the Senate he started campaigning for President and forgot his day job. How many of you children would have a job if you forgot about it. He has not been in the Senate long enough to have accrued leave time. How many of you children get paid even if you don't go to work, especially after only 18 months on the job.

Trust Phil Gramm and those of his ilk - the well-fed, well-clothed, well-housed, well-insured, well-paid - to dismiss those, who are none of the above, as whiners.
When the next administration takes office, let's return the top bracket income tax rate to 99%, then sit back and listen to who's whining now.

Wow, my company announced a 30% reduction is staff starting in 90 days. Well, good thing its only in my mind!……Not!!!

Wake up and vote for for change. Obama 08

Earth to the Hillary/McCain suppporters. Just vote for McCain already and stop with the threats. I find it amazing that senator clinton got herself 22 MILLION dollars in the hole. And now Senator obama, is trying to help her retire her debt and you guys are still being rude. So we dont need you……vote mccain.

democrats 08

Does McCain remember that he failed to show up to vote for the new GI bill? Oh yeah, that's right, he opposed it. Way to get behind our troops mister War Hero!

Another vote McBush "misremembers"!

He HAS lost his bearings. No wonder he needs his battery back-ups ( Liberman and Graham) constantly by his side.

He should make that his campaign slogan: three for one!

Don't forget folks Phil Gramm was the chief architect of Reaganomics, which is now in full speed, straight down the ole dumper into a depression that will make 1929 look like an economic boom.
Don't forget MuBush voted with Dubya 90% of time since 2001, want 4 more years? Wanna see what our parents and grandparents went through during the depression? Then vote McCain.

A candidate who can not rercall what he voted for is a candidate who we do not need for President of the United States. A President of the United States should have a sharp mind. " I can not recall" is not going to cut it as an excuse over and over and over and over again.

Give the guy a break, afterall he is over 70. Just as long as he (McCain) doesn't veto my beer.

McCAIN, WHAT IS WRONG? WHY ARE YOU MAKING STUFF UP? WHEN AMERICA NEEDS YOU, YOU MIGHT BE AT THE BEACH WITH YOUR WIFE, AND SAY THAT YOU WERE IN THE WHITE HOUSE TRYING TO BATTLE THE NIGERIANS AND IRANIANS ON THE PRICE OF OIL….. PLEASE BE YOU! LET US AMERICANS LIKE YOU FOR YOU. OBAMA SEE YOU IN THE WHITE HOUSE

I’m glad these high food prices, gas and transportation cost and job losses are all mental. Now if we can get the entire nation on Prozac everything will be fine. No more MENTAL. Thanks Mr. McCain and Gramm.

Wow. This old coot is so absent minded that he can't remember where he was, or even where he is most of the time! 2 words retirement home…..lol

Mc Lame said he voted against it when he wasnt even there??????

His memory doesnt seem to be too sharp
Lately he seems to get a little confused
America is this someone you would trust to be our commander and cheif ?
I think not for me

Obama all the way

Like Senator Obama states, we respect John Mcain military service, but the Republican candidate does not have control over his own words… this is sad. He is not fit to be our president….

Hmmm. the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Reminds of the 80's when The right mentioned the evil "Elite Republican Guard". Which changed to the Republican Guard when the Iraqi army put up no resistance, then to the Iraqi Guard, then to the Republicans made up the Elite Republican Guard in the first place.

Missed that vote and the GI Bill, FISA, and Medicare votes. Mr MCWAR has CRS disease…….Cant remeber &hit………….nor can he remember he has a day job???

I did notice that his response to Gramms "Nation of Whinners" and "Mental Resession" was…a MAN who lost his job..not mental resession….a WOMAN worried about affording her childs education, not whining. hmmmmmmm a tad sexist with that one John. …I guess men dont worry about education for their kids eh???

Wake up women…….he wont help you..to him…"a womans place is in the home"………….old fashion, from an old man

After what will be the last disastrous 8 years of George thanks-dad W Bush - arguably the most disastrous 8 year period in the history of the nation, it is scary, S-C-A-R-Y, that Mr McCain has a 50% chance of taking over as the next president!!

Lord please help usl!!

McCain's ability can be viewed clearly on the vidoe being run on CNN of his reaction/lack of reaction to the question on whether birth control should be covered by medical plans.

It wasn't the question or the issue, it was his whole facial reactions and demeanor that seriously make me question his mental capacities to be president.

I also think it is amazingly hypocritical that he says "I speak for me" about the "whining" when he is constantly attacking and smearing Obama for every syllable out of his surrogates' and supporters' mouths.

He voted for it but wasn't even in town. Gosh, another example among many of where Senator McCain has misspoke or just plain told an untruth.

McCain misfiring? Hmmm. What about Barry Obama the media phenomena when he said rather than Spanish-speaking kids learning English we should learn Spanish first? I'd say Barry blew it, BIG TIME!

The one who will become President, will be the one who believes that the U.S. needs to drill here, and drill now on our way to alternative energys and energy independence. $7-$8/gal. gas will kill this economy and this nation. The heart and soul of our country, the small businesses, are already falling, one by one. Independent trucking companies, who transport most of our goods are following. I know that Obama does not seem to be concerned about the price of gas, only that he is surprised that "the price rose so quickly" . What is his plan? So far, I have only heard "No drilling, No nukes" Maybe Obama and other elitists can handle $5-$10/gal. gasoline, but most of us peons, (read, "pee-ons") cannot.

Talking about Iran…..
"this kind of threat, threatening of their neighbors, continued military activity is not without cost,” McCain said on Wednesday.

No, we know about the cost of continued military activity, McCain!!
And we look forward to the next 100 years of unimaginable cost of imperialism, both in US lives and limbs and dollars and lost possibilities for making a better world for everybody.

Vote for John McBush if you think the last 8 years have been good for our country.

And we still have not killed Osama bin Laden.
Keeping our eye on the ball, eh?

If you loved the way the Bush republicans handled Katrina, you're going to love the McShame/Graham "plan" to fix our economy.
This incident only further serves to underscore the fact that republicans can't manage a crisis without making it worse, and then blaming others for somehow being "unpatriotic" or failing to show sufficient "independent spirit and personal responsibility". With them, its all about profits.

mc cain will always be tellin lies ppl cause even the marriage with his first wife he lied as to he seein cindy hensely mc cain at the same time cause he would visit her and so she would visit him and who is he tinkin that he is foolin,there must be datin in progress and commitin adultry in the same time cause wat would make one tink that after five weeks after his divorce with carol go run and marry cindy,who is he tinkin is he foolin no wonder the reagans friendship with him were not what it used to be,from back then up till now mc cain will always be lyin and will never stop lyin as he has endorsed the book of carl rove,titled how the rep gets elected and that is lies and more lies,judgement day is comin for him in november as so he has to face it to with the lord on judgement day wit his first wife and divoce,cnn accordin to the word of the lord CAROL is still mc cain wife and he was in adultry and she is not,she can remarried but he cannot,he better fix it or else he will have it out with the father.please post cnn.love you all.

CNN and the rest of the media is holding this Old Man up. Statements on Social Security, Medicare, Health Insurance Coverage, Veteran Support, Ecomony etc. if they were fully covered would would give clear insight as to why this guy is way over his head. McFool.

The amount of missed voting opportunities or "present" votes between the two of these men is staggering! What happens in 2009 when one of them is in office? Either we have the quick to anger, senile old man with his finger on the button or the man who can't make an definitive decision on anything!

Lest we forget that McCain has been absent from Senate voting more than any other Senator over the last two years. More than Barack Obama. More than Hillary Clinton. And yes, more than Sen. Tim Johnson (D-North Dakota), who suffered a brain hemmorhage in late 2006 and was absent for almost a year, and has served in limited capacity since.

If the man is the biggest no-show for his current job, how can we expect him to be the leader of the free world?

Ok, HRC supporters who back McBush. Have you heard enough yet. The man can't remember if he was there to vote on the Kyl-Lieberman amendment, yet criticizes someone else about not being there to vote. His top economic advisor, and very good friend I might add, calls the recession as being all in our heads (a "mental recession"). Calls the country a bunch of whiners (how's that for patriotism). In Aug 1999 this man says "Ultimately I would like to see Roe vs. Wade repealed."

You many of you want to vote for this yahoo as if his values are close to HRC's. Are you getting the picture yet? Even if you do get McBush into office, this man will send this country down a hole so deep that if HRC became president 4 years later after 12 years of Bush and McBush, she could never dig us out in her term(s).

McCain says he voted for anti-terrorist measures when, in fact, he did not cast such a vote and was not even in the Senate during the vote. He probably had more important things to do–like darning his socks. Just kidding, his wife is loaded with dough and he with bologna.

It's becoming clear to me that McCain is too old to remember what he voted on. This guy dosen't have the stamina or the healthy brain cells left to run the country. Imagine what he would be like in another 3 or 4 years at age 75.

I guess Sentor McSame needs to take some time to review a lot of video tape, so he can refresh his memory about what he said in the past.

McCain seems to be "forgetting" a large chunk of his voting record recently - on this issue, the medical insurance issue, multiple veterans' issues including funding for the VA……..

Age and senitlity, or typical political silly season sliminess? You be the judge.

Once again, senility and lack of preparation reveal exactly how ill-prepared McSame is to be president. Throw in anger management issues and you have a real recipe for an Apocalyptic administration, although I probably shouldn't say that too loud, as the evangelicals who are hoping for the end to the world are probably sorry Dumbya hasn't started WWIII yet….

Being diplomatic and speaking well (and remembering details) is basic to being a president. McCain just does not cut it in so many ways.

Obama on the other hand better watch as he voted and was present for very little and it is catching up to him.

Better get Edwards at his side or Clinton or looking like a very, very tough battle and should not be with only McCain to beat.

The sad thing about this is that Iran has ALWAYS been at the front of the pack as far as training terrorists and ruling the Middle East with a heavy hand. Saddam Hussein wouldn't stand for it. So, instead of preparing the U.S. for a showdown with Iran, the moron in office decides to invade a sovereign country based on a lie and create yet another haven for terrorists. Reminds me of the boy who cried "Wolf!!" so many times that, when there really was a wolf, no one believed him. Maybe that analogy is too deep for Bush/McBush and the rest of their regime to understand.

It's time for a new generation with fresh ideas to stand up and reclaim America. Old politics, the old way of doing things has led us to where we are now. Not many Americans I talk to are happy with the direction we are headed as a nation and you would think more people would be ready to try something new. The definition of insanity is to continue doing the same things and then expecting a different outcome. Bush-McCain ideology/politics has had its' run. It's time for a course correction. For me, the choice is simple and I am voting for Obama. No one is perfect and I hope no one is looking for a "messiah," in any candidate. Senator Obama is our best hope for change and he is certainly a departure from what we've had for the last 8 years.
Obama '08.

VCM, we can't afford votes for Nader. This country is in bad shape. Regardless of what you think of Obama. All it takes is a look at what he's done with his life and you can see he's no conservative…

So pull your head out of your butt and see the difference between John "I don't recall" McSame and Obama. Nader…are you kidding me?

Well it's about time the media starts actually doing their job. They've been on Obama's tail for months and have not mentioned any of John McCains stupid lies. How come you haven't mentioned his little joke about killing Iranians with cigarattes CNN? Not newsworthy to you I guess as usual. Interesting how they start publicizing his gaffes as soon as McCain turned on the media the other day.

This is the second time he's made that mistake. That concerns me. It was a big gaffe the last time, and he does it again? All seriousness, that really concerns me.

Let me see if I can get this straight- Phil Graham (a top advisor of McCuckoo) tells me I am whiner, while I struggle to feed my kids on a salary that looks like my kids' allowance these days, but he isn't speaking FOR McCuckoo- (cause he only speaks for HIMSELF as we see above)

Oh yeah, I forgot that was a Press misquote-

then the not-yet-senile McCuckoo (who isn't too old and still has all of his already less-than-perfect mental faculties) states he voted on something- even though he wasn't even there?

Well now folks- after all, it was almost a year ago-

Keep sticking that foot in there John-Boy

Sounds like McCain is determined to prove himself a true successor to the Bush cabal.

After all, the primary defense of all the members of the Bush administration who have been called on to testify before Congress or a Court, has been "I don't remember . . ." or, basically, that they are mentally incapable of holding the high office which king George has appointed them to.

Do they really believe that the citizens of the U.S.A. are so stupid that none of us notice that they are pulling this seemingly endless series of perjuries?

Any democratic form of government must recognize that mistakes are not only probable, but are almost inevitable. Only the Warlock in the White House (per the warlock definition of "oathbreaker" in this case — "Defend the Constitution," remember), our Emperor Geroge, claims imperial infallibility, because he confuses himself personally with the "government of the people, by the people, and for the people."

sign me a militant moderate in Maine.

Another "misfire", another waffle, etc, etc.

Can he keep anything straight? I feel his age is hampering his ability to think clearly. The "Straight Talk Express" is far from being what he thinks he is. We don't need someone in the White House with fuzzy thinking who can't remember what he voted for, who our enemies are and who stays with the same game plan as Bush. He has changed so many of his views in order to garner voter support that he is all over the place and at this point his positions are ill defined. What is even more telling is that the Republican Party at best is giving him luke warm support. They don't even like his positions.

This is as expected. Senator Obama even warned the nation of the playbook and plays that the republicans will use. John McCain is SO BUSY trying to one-up Obama on National Security that he forgets the things HE DID not do in support of American's safety. What a nimnod! How can anyone support this guy for President, how can anyone go home and sleep well when they support this guy for President? He avoided the FISA vote purposely so the focused could be on Obama voting for it. He voted for it because he knows the media and the republicans would have jumped all over him if he did not stating that he is soft on national security and the war on global terrorism. Just a ploy folks, don't be fooled by the GOP and John McCain. They CARE NOTHING OF THE ISSUES YOU FACE EVERYDAY, they don't. They got theres and are only trying to maintain the status quo.

The Week That Should've Ended John McCain's Presidential Campaign..Huff Post..must read. This man is a liar and a disgrace to veterans. I am a military wife and as I respect McCain for his service, he is a failure in all else military related. How pathetic that he would vote against funding for veteran's health benefits year after year during war. These people need help and he is turning his back on them. I am disgusted!

Elder McCain symbolizes an elderly, inept America, not quite dead, but ready to die, defecating on itself daily, and it needs its own children and grandchildren to change its diapers and finally put it to rest. We're changing the oily diapers, filled with corporate slime and corruption, we're spoon-feeding a decrepit, decaying America while it stares blankly at Matlock and drools on itself. We're just waiting for it to die so we can divide up its belonging and start fresh, start a new America without a cabinet full of antiques, without old methods, old prejudices, old ways of thinking, and old grudges. An America that will wake up to changing times and not just roll over and get bed sores. An America that doesn't need bifocals to read its Constitution and uphold what it claimed to believe in before it got too complacent and comfortable in a dead-end direction. Our children will always be smarter than us and better than us in every way conceivable. There was a time when they needed our elders, but today we look around and we say, where are the adults? Where are those who are supposed to protect us, help us up if we fall, kiss us goodnight? And we suddenly realize that we've become that which must care for ourselves and the time of us needing any adults has past and our elders are now relics on par with cave art or mammoth bone axes.

Vote Nader? You may as well cast your vote for the other old fella whose memory is not quite what it ought to be.

A liberal who will vote against Obama because he in not liberal enough is merely reactionary. It would be a shame to vote against the better candidate only because he imperfect.

With a terrorist world like we live in today I don't want someone to talk to them I want someone who with fight them.

The economy, gas prices or the price of mortgages won't matter if the terrorists are not hunted and destroyed.

Vote for security in November.

Why is it the McCain camp can't get anything right? I'm thinking he should get a new staff all together. How could he continually condemn Obama for things that he does? Like trying to blame him and his camp for Clark and other surrogates, but has the gall to say his top adviser "doesn't speak for me"? He blasted him on a bill and then it turns out he didn't even vote on it. He says his military experience is not the only thing about him that makes him qualified to be leader, but I see more pictures of him in uniform than I do in suits! It makes one wonder if we're all looking at the same thing. And these "PUMA/Hillary or McCain" people are so blinded by hate (I didn't say racism, but for some reason you seem very bitter and angry) that you can't see that this man is not fit to be President. But go ahead, be guided by your wishy-washy half-truths rather than the facts and issues we are supposed to be voting for. Good luck with that.

I don't see any of the republicans supporting Insane McCain on this issue. What happenned?

Typically you get a whole bunch of them screaming nonsense on these threads.

Why is Hillary even mentioned in this article? Hillary supporters, please stop posting on this blog about Hillary and get to work so you can pay off her debts!

Like I said, I know 18 million people didn't support her and it was operation chaos all along.

Hillary supporters are whiners!

If the media doesn't nail him to the wall for this we will know that they are biased. I have an idea, report this like you would if Senator Obama said this stuff….

McSame is a looser, who is out of touch with reality and can't remember what he says!!!

Mcain have lost his memory as a result of his age or disability, my question for Americans is : what is the retirement age for politicians.

If this question is addressed by constiution ,then America will have a presidential candidate that will have retentive memory.

If care is not taken Americans will be fooled again by repulican fear politics and propganda.

It's pretty sad when they're missing votes in Congress because they are out campaigning for another job. Do your job as senators first and then you can run for president on your own time. You owe it to the people of Arizona and Illinois to represent them as long as your in office. And spare me the vote wasn't a big deal. That's not the point - it's the principle. I'm tired of these politicians doing everything but their jobs. That's one reason why we're in the state we're in.

McCain was for the amendment before he forgot to vote for it. McCain was also for the Bush tax cuts before he was against them.

I'm in no way excusing John McCain's obvious lapse (and I don't plan to vote for him) however am I the only one who remembers that Sen. Obama blasted Hillary Clinton for her vote in favor of this Bill? Yet, he now touts the fact that he actually put forth a similar legislation in the past.

flip flop flip flop
and Sen. Gramm? On the Senate banking committee, he wanted to abolish the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) and loosen regulations on banks and securities firms… It is people like this (McCain's economic team) who have gotten us in the housing mess we're in today…
Whose values do they truly represent? big biz, oil, ultra-rich
so, you'll see them misfiring on message all the time…
flip flop flip flop

McCain is mentally deranged, suffering from senility and has absolutely no business running the country. Why Republicans couldn't come up with someone who has full control of his mental faculties is beyond me after 8 years of Bush the bumbling idiot. If Americans are stupid enough to put McCain in office then we desrve to go down in flames.

I'm in no way excusing John McCain's obvious lapse (and I don't plan to vote for him) however am I the only one who remembers that Sen. Obama blasetd Hillary Clinton for her vote in favor of this Bill? Yet, he now touts the fact that he actually put forth a similar legislative in the past.

VCM you are out of touch can't you see this an old man ready to go to a retirement home he has no place in the oval office he will be too cunfused to run the country and probably start the 3rd world war, I really mean it he is too dangerous for the whole world.

CHEERS AND CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR NEW PRESIDENT 2009 BARACK OBAMA.

McCain: unwilling to adapt to changing times, self-described "computer illiterate", forgetful, hot-tempered, disrespectful toward women, called his wife a c-word, miniBush, out-of-touch with the people and reality, he lives off his wife's money and has no idea how the rest of us exist on a daily basis, his campaign workers and supporters are just as bad if not worse, he seems to thrive on the prospect of war and glorifies the concept, he looks like a walking corpse and may in fact be a reanimated zombie. What is getting him his 40%? Do people enjoy being lied to? Is his being a white guy worth 40%? McRacists. McCain was actually a decent prospect for candidacy about 30 years ago. Now he's pandered too much to the Bush regime, he's lost his marbles and is no longer fit to exist let alone run a country. Go away McCain, your era, the Bush era, is over. Let a new generation sweep in and clean up the messes your generation has left us. Oil crisis, economic calamity, wars, unrest, poverty, energy inefficiency, uneven social hierarchy. The "greatest generation" has truly destroyed America.

I don't what is worse the fact that he is planning to run a campaing with lies or the fact that i'm not surprised.

This just showes what to expect from McCain, and that is another reason to VOTE FOR OBAMA!!!

OBAMA '08

"Despite Obama’s voting absence, his campaign is touting legislation he sponsored in March 2007 (S. 970) which also would have designated the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization."

Wait, didn't Hillary vote to designate the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization and Obama bash her relentlessly for it? Neither of these politicians are worth voting for this Dec.

"Obama didn't bother to vote for… for… for the vote where I didn't bother to vote. Sorry guys, senior moment! Where's my ginko boloba? Hate that stuff. Ginko sounds like pinko."
-McCain

Are you kidding me…? One lie after another…? I mean if you are going to talk bad about someone's voting record, atleast choose a bill that you were there for!!! Don't lie to the American people and have your surrogates call us "Whiners". Sounds like Johnny boy is getting desperate already. Wife just bought him a plane but yet nothing is going right. If he lied on something simple as a bill to vote for, what else is to come? C'mon people, Obama is the right choice…. Enough Said!

McCain told a woman Monday at the Denver townhall "I will fix Medicare." Tuesday, next day, McCain did not bother to even show up to vote on that Medicare Bill — but the very ill Teddy Kennedy did as did Obama.

It is so unfortunate that someone running for the most powerful position on the planet cannot remember whether he voted on a bill for which he attacks his opponent!!

As for McCain's two-faced comments to Canadians……twice he has slammed our public healthcare system (during the primaries), which is a model Americans should look more closely at, and he has the audacity to come to Canada and pretend that he is our friend!!!!!!!

It is so sad that so many Americans put their Republican party ahead of being American. Why else would 40+ % of the American people vote for McCain?

Well, the important thing to remember is that McCain was for it, before he was against… deciding to appear on the Senate floor to vote for it.

Depends for the old coot, John
Maybe he will FORGET to wear them

Americans must now realise that McCain is too old to be The President of The most powerful and most advanced country in the world; he even forgot what he did in less than a year ago. how will this man fit into the White House?…..Someone should tell me please.

So this is McCain's strategy. To keep LYING to people and hoping that he doesn't get caught? He's lied to people on this issue, about Obama's tax plan, about the gas tax holiday, about whether he ever said he was weak on the economy, about people attacking his Vietnam war record… the list goes on.

How can anyone vote for this man?

Whats most telling is that both of these Senators were AWOL when an important vote was taken.

The question is: if either becomes President–will they be more loyal to their constituents–than they have been to those who voted them into the Senate?

What are you Obama supporters so worked up about. I thought Iran was not a threat. Oh wait a minute he changed his stance on that too. Never mind. I hope Obama has the experience to lead these great 58 states.

Interesting that when McCain makes a flub its not that big of a deal. Let Obama had made that error McCain camp would have been smeared this all over the news.

"Violating interantional treaties?"
"Threatening neighbors?"
"Continued military activities?"
does not come without cost…………………….
HOW MUCH ARE YOU GOING TO PAY FOR THE UNITED STATES' ACTIONS MR. MCCAIN??????????????????????? The American People have paid way too much already.
enough bs - a little reality, please.

So what else is new? Flub is McCain's middle name! Second TN 62 above, Hillary is not and will not be the nominee, so move on. We can't continute on the same course as the last eight years. For those of you who still can't use deductive reasoning, here it is. Obama has the most delegates, hence the nomination. No amount of hatred, charges with substantiation et al. Will change that.

All you Clinton "Kool Aide" drinkers are doing is ruining the reputation of a fine Senator from New York and reducing her influence in the next Senate where we need her lead on health care and a lot more.

Look at yourselves in the mirror and ask if you really are doing what's best for our country with your actions. Be "for" something for a change.

Truth is, we have a junior and a senior running, a person who i even doubt is truly an American citizen, what a joke that would be if the facts were truly factual, oh look, the emperor has no clothes on

Man can't remember anything. He couldn't remember how he voted on insuranace for birth control pills either. He increasingly has the deer-in-headlights look about him. Obama does not have to raise the age issue, it'll be there for all to see.

Please show McCain some luv. It comes with age and we have to respect it. McDepends needs a break from this gruelling race against an intelligent and alert young man. We should blame Liebermann for not being there to whisper in his ear. We need to be careful because McShame may forget to show up for his innaugural. lol

I decided I am a PUMA, I really can't remember why I decided this anymore……But it feels good!

Feels good to be so angry…….so spiteful……I am SO ready to throw my country under the bus because I will feel so righteous…….and don't worry, I'll remind you over and over and over again!

I cannot wait for more wars…….I cannot wait for women's issues to take a back seat in this country, I mean - who needs women anyway?

I cannot wait for the richest in this country to be richer….while I sit around complaining…..

I cannot wait to make oil execs richer and send more and more jobs overseas…..

Yeah - PUMAS! WE ARE SO AWESOME!!!!!

Both of these guys are losers. One can't seem to remember anything, and the other shifts his positions continually to fit the prevailing wind.

Time to vote for a 3rd Party Candidate.

Aside from all of his bad political views and flip flopping, McCain is simply TOO OLD to be our president. He can't remember things he has recently said or done (or not done)

Obama 08!

Contain yourselves libs! I can almost see you drooling over this.
Come on. Is this the best this country has to offer? Obama and McCain? Any one really qualified is to smart to subject themselves to such ridiculous scrutiny by the media and people of this country. I think we all need to take a look at ourselves. Are we perfect?

McCain is lying about everything. "He doesn't speak for me" Phil Graham is his chief financial adviser. McCain is finished. Why doesn't he retire? This man is too old. He is old school. Most of his advisers are "old geezers". America needs a change. A very big change! This is 2008, and we need a younger person with fresh ideas to lead America. No more old school players.
Go Obama!

Wow…all I can say is…"forget much???"

This man has no position on women's rights. Yesterday, he fumbled his way through questions asked by the report about why Viagra is covered under insurance and Birth Control pills aren't…you could pratically see the wheels spinning in his head. It was the funniest thing to watch.

Then accuses Obama from not being their for a vote, that he McCain, wasn't even there for either. Talk about losing one's bearings!

You're surprsied the media gives McCain more positive coverage than Obama?! Don't you realize that most major media is owned by big businesses who fund the RNC? Of course, their "media" will slant the reporting of events to coincide with their views. Look to independently owned media or look outside the country for accurate accounts of what actually happens. I listen to the BBC more and more.

This from the same guy who doesn't know that Sunni and Shiite are two distinct groups. And he thinks he's better poised to handle foreign affairs?

The negative campaigns and attacks will get McCain back to the Senate instead of the White House. Can we have both candidates present positive things thay want to do ???

McCain I wish your party would've let me vote for you in 2000 instead of forcing Dubya onto the world. Well it's been a very long 8 years and it looks like your edge has just somewhere worn away. Is it because you think you have to fall in line to get there now having bee beaten back before? is it that we truly didn't know you then… Or, has Father Time just done what he does best. I don't know, I just know I'm very afraid of seeing you in the White House and have no choice but to vote Barrack.

I think its amazing that people will criticize Obama for having the conviction to allow his position to be updated based on new information (ala his willingness to allow the conditions on the ground in Iraq to shape his policy), while Bush just stuck a stake in the ground 8 years ago on Iraq policy, and has basically refused to budge from it.

Critics call it flip-flopping, regardless of their party-affiliation, while supporters will call it intelligent decision making. The true leader will allow a fluid situation develop, and modify the plan to adjust for the ebb and flow of reality. The bad leader will stick to his guns, even when all of the data and analysis show its a bad course of action.

Obama 08

Man, it won't matter if they read a script to McCain a hundred times. He still won't be able to get his lie straight. I saw that Viagra video and couldn't stop laughing. Are people seriously voting for this idiot?
This guy makes George Bush look like Einstein.

Obama is going to make McSame look like such a fool in those debates, moreso than he already is.

Obama/Sebilius 2008/2012!

What - is this the Obama website? Maybe I need to go overto Fox News and get a better perspective. Maybe senile and old is not so bad compared to inexperienced and foolish. Can we all just say in unison - I'm voting for him because he would be the first black president - ew isn't that like so really cool and hip. Records and character matter. Get off the race train and look ata what someone has done.

“Its time to make the Iranians understand that this kind of violation of international treaties, this kind of threat, threatening of their neighbors, continued military activity is not without cost,” McCain said on Wednesday.

Was McAmnesty talking about Iran? It sounds more like what our emperialistic government is doing in the the name of Americans.

We do not belong in any country but our own- but we continue to borrow 3 billion dollars a day to continue our empire, and force democracy on other soverign nations.

Ron Paul was the only candidate telling the truth- maybe that's why he received more contributions from the military than all the other candidates combined…

Land of the sheep- home of the afraid….

Why dont you stop this absurd ":gotcha" attacks yourself… What is the message.. That you can find among the millions of statements made by both candidates, a mistake here and there..So what!

Here's the point of the story…Obama is on the WRONG side of the issue - Period. Once you democratic kool-aid drinkers wake up you'll realize how wrong Obama is…or do you need to have the Iranian Gaurd sticking swords in your throat before you figure it out!

It doesn't matter who missed the vote. It's the position you take and Obama is wrong on this as he is on so many others…

Obama is great public speaker I will give him that, but that is all there is. Even reading his plans I think to myself how in the world does he plan on paying for all of this. It looks nice on paper but putting those palns into action without it costing me is not going to happen.
McCain may be older but I have a great amount of respect for him.
Obama on the other hand I have NO respect for. He can speak until he is blue in the face he will not get my vote.
I work hard for the money I have. I don't want it going to pay for someone elses child for healthcare (I have my own children) or help someone else pay for a house they should not have tried to buy in the first place. Life is not fair some people have easy some don't. Some people work very hard for what they have and some don't.

All this does is make McCain look old, out of touch and hypocritical……oh wait, that's exactly what he is! He's Bush all over again and I am not going to tolerate another eight years of that kind of presidency and neither should anyone else in this country. The country is in shambles, unemployment is at it's highest, the economy is at it's lowest and we're still losing lives for a war that should never have started. Go ahead and vote McCain if you just want to keep things status quo.

Obama is the person this country needs for CHANGE but I understand change scares people, which is why they won't vote for him and believe the BS that people concoct on the internet and send back and forth to one another. It's pretty sad. Regardless, Obama will be president.

I can't believe there is little coverage of Bush going overseas and talking about an American "AGAIN" why is this not in the news over and over again. Spin this issue.

This isn't a surprise really. John McCain is all over the place. I really can't see this guy being president and falling asleep at the switch. There is no chance that I'm going to vote for him.

This is standard Republican attack machine fare - launch as many attacks as possible, true or not, in the hopes that it will scare the electorate into voting republican. This is what they did in '04, and they're doing it all over again.

A beffudled, disagreeable has-been. Yes, he served honorably in the military and yes, he's had a long and somewhat impressive Senate career. But can't we all see this man's day is done?

President? It's a 24-7 job (as we can tell from what the Bush administration of frequest vacations and six-hour workdays days has done to our nation), and I have no confidence Senator McCain can keep up the pace. Much less keep his facts and memory straight! Do we want to BEGIN a Presidency at Reagan Year Six?

Wonder why MSM isn't talking about McCain's "Social Security is a disgrace" comments?

McCain is such a looser. He is out of touch and cannot remember when or how he voted on anything!!!

Regarding McSame, he's constantly lying and spinning things to his liking and convenience. He's a babbling idiot. His views on the economy and women issues amongst many are out of whack. The man is in ZOMBIE land. Scottie definitely BEAMED McCain up!!!!!

I noticed the media let McSame get away w/ anything. This man has been caught in so many LIES and outrageous flip-flopping and the media barely touches on them.

If we're going to start calling people on flip-flops, then why isn't there more discussion about McCain's own, including repudiating two major bills that he himself co-wrote and co-sponsored?

wow, he is beginning to sound an awful lot like my 86 year-old father. i truly adore my dad, who was very politically savvy and well read, but would definitely not want him running this country.
