Absolutely the worst attack ad I've ever seen. Ever. America deserves better Mr. McCain. I hope you're "proud" of this one too. Ridiculous.

i did vote for Hillary in the primary and to paraphrase Obama- i am not a democrat or republican, i am an American first. having said that, i don't think this country has a whole lot to be happy about regarding its two choices this election year. i'm staying home on nov.3 and i will not complain about the outcome because i already know it's a lose/lose situation. whoever it is, God bless 'em, they're in for it no matter who it is

Unbelieveable that we are seeing this juvenile approach!

This has to be the worst ad campaign in any election.

I can't believe the American people will buy this.

I used to admire McCain. Now I see him as totally disgusting.

Looks like the Bush people have taken over his campaign.

If this works the American people will again have a a president with no soul or dignity.

The Straight Talk Express has become the Lowest Level Talk Express.

I am outraged and offended by this. This is so mean, and so low...I'm a Republican, and I expected more from my candidate.

They're attacking him for being popular? And knowing it? How sad is that? If he attempts to react I suppose they'll accuse him of false humility.

Scare tactics? Poor taste Sen. McCain...I was on the fence...but you just nudged me in the other direction. I voted for you in 2000 but with this type of hype...I don't think I can help you again. Very sad.

Okay, the gloves are off McCain. Bring it on, you want to take on Barack, we'll take on you. Oh, I forgot you can't read this because you're too senile to get on a computer. What a waste of the taxpayer’s time and money.

What is that smell???????????????
Smells like jealousy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...Sen.. Mc(whatever!) we both know that you will never be able to inspire poeple and pull crowds like Sen. Obama has done.

Record turn-out at the Primaries, record turn-out at campaign speeches...!!!!! Are you Mc(whatever!) getting frustrated and jealous because you can´t accomplish that?

Are you implying that the millions of Americans and citizens around the world that go to listen to Sen. Obama are pure idiots?

Atleast these idiots know that Iraq and Pakistan don`t share a border and they also know that Czechoslovakia doesn´t exist.

I think your strategy will backfire seriously.

NO SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEMS AMERICANS ARE FACING. NO ADS STATING HOW HE PLANS TO HELP AMERICANS. MCCAIN SAID HE IS"JUST HAVING SOME FUN". WELL MCCAIN IT IS NO FUN FILLING UP MY GAS TANK AND BUYING GROCIES. I AM SURE IT IS NOT FUN FOR THOSE STRUGGLING TO PAY THEIR MORTGAGES, OR WHO HAVE ALREADY LOST THEIR HOME. IT IS NO FUN FOR THE UNEMPLOYED. I AM GLAD IT IS POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO HAVE "FUN" WHEN SO MANY AMERICANS ARE STRUGGLING. GOOD LUCK WINNING THE ELECTION IN NOVEMBER. YOU ARE GOING TO NEED IT!!!

It's about time that people address Obama's messianic complex. He strings together trite motherhood statements, and crowds start chanting his name. And then he starts saying: "Now is the time that we've been waiting for..." as if this means anything. He really has a cult following.

I think this ad is just gone too far for McCain to put out. I'm A Christian and this ad should not even been put out like this. This is telling not only me but other voters. Well here is your AntiChrist. Shame Shame on McCain for using not only the scriptures of the bible to further political gains. He tells everyone that he knows that Obama is a Christian, but then places ads like this. I think that He should take this ad off, for it really hurts his campaign, and tell Obama how sorry he is for running such a ad. He needs to Stick to the facts, not fiction and what is really wrong with the country.

By: Jeffrey

Wow. You know, I never had any intention of voting for McCain, but I also never imagined that his campaign would sink to the lows in his new campaigns. This "The One" thing is the most pathetic bottom-feeding crap I've heard of in a long time. McCain is so obviously running scared, it's amazing. This is the sort of thing he should be running from fast, but instead he's embracing it. I can't remember any Karl Rove-invented ad as bad as this. Truly, truly sad. This will bite McCain back, hard.

By: Matt

What is McCain trying to do with these ads? Is this a good use of campaign money? I would like to see McCain tell me what HE'S going to do for me as opposed to poking fun and attacking Obama all week.

The guy is a joke.

By: JEric

JEric — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 20:29:55 +0000

Time for Obama to stick it to this moron. Obama made a huge mistake playing the Republican game by getting caught up in defending himself. McCain has made some ridiculous comments lately doesn't present any plans of his own but has shifted simply to doing anything possible to take down Obama. Obama has the media spotlight he should use it to pursue an aggressive smack at McCain's ignorance and lack of direction.. hit him where it hurts.

Political sacrilege.

As Christians, we understand the difference between worship of our God and the basic support we have for Obama as presidential candidate.

McCain and his Republican staff have crossed the line (again). Sad.

Substance over rhetoric please.

I am a completely undecided and unaffiliated voter. I lean Republican.

This ad is completely offensive. The arrogance of the McCain campaign is unmet. They are either trying to scare the religious right into believing Obama is the anti-Christ or playing into their religion – I guess the polls will tell us whether or not it worked.

For me, I think McCain just lost my vote.

By: Donna

This has gotten childish beyond belief!!! Looks like I need to look at the 3rd party candidates a little harder....

This ad still doesn't say what McCain's stance is on the REAL ISSUES..another attack ad..so sad that REAL politics have taken a backseat to the playground....

By: Lynne

I am proud of McCain and his advisors. I totally agree with McCain. I am so happy that he is finally doing this! It scares me to death that this man will be put into office. He reminds me of the anti-christ!
He is so arrogant and self serving and the people wanting him is blinded to all of this. Thank you McCain!

I think the McCain campaign will soon find out that this was actually a really bad week for them. This is the week McCain lost the respect of independents and moderates.

really successful, when your 'work' is berated not only by your opponent but also your party but i guess if you are at the bottom digging yourself out gaining even an inch as you fall a foot is a success.

Apparently desperate times require desperate measures. Attacking the character of your opponent has worked well for the Dirty Trick Crowd in the past (remember swift boat?) so they have trotted it out again. How dare anyone who allows this kind of garbage to be produced question the leadership abilities of their opponent?

Disgusting, putrid, vile, contemptuous, petty, vain, and just plain old-fashioned stupid. The McCain campaign reeks of desperation. Their campaign motif seems to be "Vote for me because fewer people like me." What a winner.

McCain's a zero. He's got nothing, but old war stories and hate-filled babble. Barack and his supporters will clean his clock in November. So you want to play dirty, bring it on sourpuss.

Americans want a president who knows what to do with an Apple besides eat it.

When one has nothing good to say about himself, he tries to tear down his enemies. Obviously neither John McCain nor his advisors can think of anything positive to say about John McCain. Obama should take this as a compliment.

McCain, do us a favor if you want us to consider voting for you. Tell us what positives you bring to the table, instead of obsessing over BO 24/7.

Or is this all you've got?

Is McCain taking this ad seriously? McCain is begining to look like a fool...in fact he already is one. McCain will be kept far away from the white house as he has become delusional. Mixing borders, comparing Brittney to Obama...The man is off his rocker here.

So we've gone from Spears and Hilton to Moses parting the Red Sea? With all of the serious issues on the table, McCain gives us cartoons? If that's all you got, you might as well just concede the election right now and save us all a lot of trouble.
