Where do these foul-mouthed Obama lovers come from?

Executive Summary:

McCain 26 Years in Congress 22 Years Military

Obama 143 Days in Congress Zero Military Experience

This concludes the briefing. Questions?

Dragon Lady, under normal circumstances you would be right. But after 8 years of a VP run shadow government that holds itself above the law, I would think VP candidates should not be taken for granted. Nor should the issue be belittled.

I will change things around a bit.... how many Republicans think a VP Clinton would try to do the same kind of power thing as Cheney? My guess is its 90%. Also, if she is chosen by Obama I can forsee all kinds of anti-Hillary ads and more GOP attention than any previous VP has had in living memory.

NEWSFLASH!!!

John McCain has ZERO executive experience. His experience is longevity in a wholly different part of Government.

McCain does equal Bush, because he plans to execute the same tired policies and in many cases mounting a "surge" on failed neocon and GOP ideas.

If you want to refute McCain being Bush's third term then you'll have to explain how his policies, intellect, and temperament differ.
To be honest, I don't expect McCain to do as well as Bush and see more accurately the second Hoover Administration, AT BEST!

Oh, this is the one that obama supported and McCain was against. Obama is such a liar. Who are you trying to kid.

Yup.

John McSame is 4 more years of Bush and Cheney.

Good. People need to understand the people around McCain are the same as the people around Bush.

Since McCain and Bush don't understand policy, it is those corrupt people who will write policy. Corrupt politicians, incompetent CEOs, these guys will run a Republican White House.

Rick,

Excatly how much executive experience does McCain have?

As for flip flopping, nobody has flip flopped more than McCain.

Funny how when Obama camp starts attacking McCain it is labeled as "telling the truth". But when the tables are turned McCain is labeled as "racists" or "dispicable". I guess two wrongs can make a right for the Obama camp. Give me a break!

Mitt Romney is a true chameleon in politics, this man can call day night and night day while having the face of a saint: “the night was day because there were stars in heaven; the day was night because of the clouds.” The man can defend anything, be anything with the smile of an innocent baby on his face

"I was for Hillary and now I'm for McCain…"

Then you never really understood what Hilary was campaigning for.

The DNC should not be criticizing anyone because of their dishonesty of stealing away the nomination from Clinton. They should be ashamed of themselves and I do hope that they lose the election for the democrats which should teach them a lesson not to play sneaky dishonest game. What goes around comes around and we will see that the DNC will pay for this action when Obama, the selected candidate, lose the election to McCain.

Both parties use scare tactics it's just the DNC's is more subtle. (hinting McCains age, tying him to Bush policies.)

On the Republican side the "Experience to Lead" and "The One" are code words to get southerners afraid of Obama. You know the script calling him arrogant and uppity. In other words who does this guy think he is.

The tactics used by both parties makes my stomach turn.
One plays on fear of age while the other is a subtle play on race.
We Independents aren't fooled

Both parties better clean up their acts..

So it looks like all the soft anti-war cronies on the democratic side want to bring home the troops because they don't believe in the war being waged in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now these folks are waging war on the republicans. Yes the republicans. They don't single out a particular person, they just want to drag'em all in the mud! Where is Obama's "My name is Barack Obama, and I approved this message."? If he doesn't, and endorses these tactics, then he's lost another skirmish. As a reminder, when Ms Clinton and him were in the primary stages, she also had a huge lead and as folks began to see the real her, it turned them off. Deja vu.

Rick, McCain has NO repeat NO executive experience!

Jack,

It think that the voters need to consider closely John McCain's V.P choice, and then read the 25th amendment carefully before deciding on thier vote!

Ed Bishop
Wagener, SC.

"Barak has NO repeat NO Executive experience"

Bush did, and see how that turned out.

The Democrats don't give up. They know they're losing and they're grasping at straws. Their Candidate has Huge Skeletons in His Closets so the get the attention of voters away from the FACT that Barry Obama HAS NOT produced an official certified Birth Certificate to document his claim of being a "Natural Born US Citizen," Barry Obama HAS NOT documented where he got the million dollars he gave to his (known) Marxist Cousin Raila Odinga in Odinga's failed attempt to overthrow the duly elected government of Kenya, Barry Obama HAS NOT explained how he got to be the Editor of the Harvard Law Review without ever publishing one article, Barry Obama HAS NOT explained why he is taking Illegal Contributions in Illegal Amounts from Middle Eastern Arabs, thus violating election laws.

Barry Obama should be charged with election fraud and removed from the Democrat Ballot. Then he should be removed from his Senatorial Seat and Jailed.

WHO EVER Mccain picks as his running mate, lets tear him to ribbons,

Obama the gloves are off. You and the left wing splineless, whiners are going down in November.

Sure - go ahead and choose Condi Rice! Could you pick somebody more a part of the Bush administration?

It's very sad that all of the focus of attention is going to remain on who the VP's are going to be. It is terribly unfortunate that the people of America are never ever going to see Barack Obama, John Mccain, Bob Barr, and Ralph Nader, trully go at it in a formal debate on the issues that matter to suffering Americans, because there will simply be no time for it. And when there might be time, it will be limited to a week or two just before we are supposed to choose one of them This is a gross miscarraige of justice, and it should not be allowed to stand. The people of America need to unite and demand that we get this show on the road. People are suffering.

No more Nobanana

It sure would be interesting that instead of setting up attacks on potential GOP Veeps ... the DNC would take a hard, close look at its own weak candidate. The "do-nothing-committee", aka DNC ... probably has a worse approval rating than Bush, Cheney, and the Congress ... and from their own Party!!
McCain '08
Hillary 2012!!!!

Why do you think no one wants to be on the ticket with Obama. If he is at the top of the ticket they will go down in flames. Obama is unqualified and had NO chance of winning. I have voted democratic for 40 years but I will not vote for Obama. My vote will go to McCain unless Hillary is at the top of the ticket. As bad as you think McCain will be Obama will be much worse.

Hillary or McCain.

OK, that quote is enough to give me nightmares!!!

listen to the man, he told dick "beelzebub" cheney he would choose him as his VP if he could!! that quote alone shows you how pro-bush mccain is, despite the latest change in his campaign that he is not a neoCON but a "maverick".

no wonder the poor old guy is always so confused and wrong, a mensa member would have a tough time keeping track of mccain's flip-flopping craziness.

this country, and we american citizens, absolutely CANNOT take another 4 years of these greedy neoCONs.

voting for mccain is nuts and dangerous!

what happens when mccain starts singing his sweet little "bomb bomb bomb iran" ditty, when really it's czechoslavakia he means for us to bomb??? or if he goes hiking in pakistan, expecting iraq to be just over the next hill?

It's about time the Dems started hitting back....keep it up.

This is truly amusing. The DNC is quite desperate and trying to deflect attention from the real issues and their candidates lack of a serious resume.

HA HA HA weak democrates Obama has lost 6 points in two days and is now ties with McCain. It won't be long before McCain is ahead.

GO MCCAIN!!!!!!!

MANY HOPED AND PRAYED FOR A DECENT PERSON TO TAKE THE REIGNS..... NOW WE HAVE ONE..... OBAMA!

About time the DEMs started fighting back. I am tired of McCain supporters attacking Obama
Obama 08

Nobody with an iota of intelligence or ethics would vote for John McCain if he put Abraham Lincoln on the ticket.

Personally, I hope he picks Lieberman; it would be great ticket-balancing: a "hero" with a bona fide traitor!

Did you tell the GOP that Comedy Central is hiring??

Now I see the point McCain is trying to make by showing Obama commercials with Britney Spears. One thing is to throw basketballs through the loop and trying to look like the coolest presidential candidate, and another thing is Barack Obama keeps changing his stance on most issues trying to be agreeable with polls instead of standing on firm ground after weighing in pros and cons. Barack seems confused on energy issues. He wreally is inexperienced to be a president and more and more people are beginning to see that and that's the reason why the polls are narrowing between the two. By the time November hits John McCain will be ahead.

McCain "08

How about Barrack Obama.
There politics are starting to sound alike, anti-abortion, wire taps,
off shore oil drilling, both are friends of the NRA.
One differance is Obama had a friend just released from the Nut
House, yep, Swiftboat Kerry is loose again.

More negative attacks from the DNC.

Politics as usual.

Washington will never change until the democrats begin to care more about this country than they do getting their party into power.

It is about time the Democrats started fighting back. Up until now, the democrats have only responded to attacks leveled on them first. Time to take off the gloves and show America what the Republican party is really capable of besides all the lies and rhetoric they already have subjected the country too. It is a shame it has come to this. It makes me want to move to Denmark

Why won't hollywood debate McCain in the town hall events? Because he is a gutless empty suit who got creamed in the debate with Hillary on ABC. Anytime Obamaflop has to answer questions that are not on his prepare speeches he looks lik a stuttering fool.

Obama could inflate every tire pressure gauge in America with all the hot air that exits his mouth. Alot of talk with no ideas. Complete idiot!!

All the Obamamaniacs need to look at his record. He more often voted with Bush than against him. Maybe you need to check out your "Almighty" before you talk about McCain (who by the way Bush and the Republicans don't like because he continually goes against them).

How about Barrack Obama.
There politics are starting to sound alike, anti-abortion, wire taps,
off shore oil drilling, both are friends of the NRA.
One differance is Obama has a friend jut released from the Nut
House, yep, Swiftboat Kerry is loose again.

What low life tactics by the Democrats or in my opinion"dem whits " to attack McCains possible chose for a running mate before he even makes a choice. They are at a new low low low in respect for fellow Americans . John McCain needs to pull off the be kind gloves and blast the Dem.s with all information that he can find that shows how bad the dem.s are.

I think you are just giving a bigger black eye to the DNC.... You are losing more democrat voters to John McCain.....

I am so glad Hillary is not being considered for VP – she is too good to be on the same ticket with OBAMA.

See you in November.....

McCain 08

My daily commute to work and back is almost 200 miles.

Thanks to a stick shift, coasting whenever I can, no Jack rabbit acceleration, breaking as little as possible, using low rolling resistance tires, keeping them inflated at the right pressure and driving 5 miles below the max speed allowed, my Accent returns almost 38 miles per gallon. By making (cheap) fun of the importance of correct tire air pressure, Sen. McCain demonstrates once more that he should count until 10 before uttering nonsense................

Timber (ex dem) August 5th, 2008 10:49 am ET

Obama scare tactics! Was he not accusing McCain of doing the same thing just yesterday? I guess it is "Do as I say, not as I do" with Obama.

Debra August 5th, 2008 11:07 am ET

From a former Clinton supporter- Obama and his unsrupulous hit dogs are about as nasty as you can get. Good luck McCain.
---------------------------------

You two really need to let it go, Clinton LOST, it wasn't STOLEN from her, Obama ELECTED, he was not SELECTED, He did NOT trash her..He simply was voted in by just as many voters as she claimed voted for her, we just had a few more voters than you did and Obama won fair and square so STOP the stupid hate and go pay your Queen's debt, do something CONstructive instead of DEstructive for once in your miserable lives.

As for Timber, nice try but you can't twist this to use against Obama no matter how bad you want to. You must make yourself look like a real fool by trying do that. Obama may be in control of the DNC now but he does not watchdog them and approve or disapprove of their ads so go back to eating your dogfood and try to think up something INTELLIGENT to say, or better yet, join Debra and a few of these other bottomfeeders trying to hate on Obama and pay your Queen's debt down so she can get back up to $100 million. What a joke you people are.

An empty vessel makes the most noise? The Repubs are not good moral people anymore. I'll take a chance on the new guy.

These web sites are so stupid and a waste of money. It is preaching to the choir. Do you really think John McCain supporters or undecideds will go to that web site thinking they will get legit information? It will only be McCain bashers who want one more thing to giggle about.

ha, ha Go DNC, there is nothing like the truth.
Taking the high road

Oh shut up Rick ...and all who really have nothing but McRhetoric to spew. It is persons like you who help put us in this MESS! To be ingnorant is one thing, to spew garbage is another.

OBAMA has more ability to run this country than any of the contenders in the last EIGHT YEARS. You ought to count yourself BLESSED to be alive at a time that this MAN is putting himself on the line for America.

I CHALLENGE YOU and OTHERS LIKE YOU to give an HIONEST look at the HEART and MINDS and BACKGROUNDS of the two main contenders.

IF YOU THINK YOU QUALIFY TO "SPEAK" ON THIS TOPIC, THINK AGAIN WITH A REAL LOOK AT THE CANDIDATES. WHERE HAS PREJUDICE EVER GOTTEN AMERICA?????????

By limited off-shore drilling, I suspect BHO means, leases for areas that no oil deposits exist.

Then he can keep up his same on script about oil companies no using the land they already have.

But alas, it doesn't matter what the majority of Americans think. It only matters what the 30% of Americans (we'll call them sheep) think about Obama.

Right now, the best thing McCain can do is run a McKinley-esque front porch campaign and continue to let BHO muddle through his own stances.

Afterall, if you have as much free media coverage as BHO gets, then every flaw is amplified as well as every positive. As of now, the flaws outweigh the positives as the cult-of-personality is fading.

More hypocrisy from the Obama camp. Talk about political expediency. I'm still waiting to hear what exactly it is that Obama is promising to do "different" from politics as usual in Washington. At this point, looks like a very long wait.

Desperation!!!!

PUMA

What is dirty about quoting Republicans as saying they stand by the president? Strange days indeed when members of a party consider it an insult to be linked with the party leader.

DNC are afraid... decided to attack without WHO it is..... sad?

where is Michelle obama.TRYING TO BE PRESIDENT AT ANY COST?THIS IS NOT CHANGE .

what about the next Carter that the Dems are nurturing? They had a good candidate... and they are going to nominate.. who?

Lets be serious, Democrats lost their credibility. NoObama ever.

If you are smart Dems, bring back Hillary. If not just shut up.

I will never vot for a democrat as long as Howard Dean remains at the head of the party. The man is worse than any Swift Voter member, look at how low he is stooping. How can democrats continue to say that the Republicans are the sleaze ball party when you let stuff like this go on. I guarantee you if McCain picks Liberman the attacks will be just as bad even though he was the Democrats VP choice only 8 years ago. What that means is that this attack ads aren't based on actual facts, they are based on the fact that whoever McCain picks will get a bad rap before even actually looking at their record. What happened to respecting your opponent?

GREAT JOB DEMS! I AM SO PROUD TO CALL MYSELF A DEMOCRAT AND I GET TEARY-EYED WHEN I SEE ALL THE LOVE AND SUPPORT FOR OBAMA. IT'S A WONDERFUL FEELING KNOWING THAT WE ARE GOING TO GET OUT OF THIS HUGE MESS THAT BUSH PUT US IN WITH A WONDERFUL MAN LIKE BARACK OBAMA.

I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE FIGHTING BACK! STAY STRONG AND I WILL ALWAYS BE APART OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!

oh, NO more MCBUSHES
no more McCLintons
please no more dynasties, monarchies, rulers, dictators,

enough is enough

NO more McCain, Bush, Cheney, and Clinton NO MORE

The Republicans say: We have George W. Bush, Stevie Wonder, Bop Hope and Johnny Cash.
And the Democrats say: We have Obama, no wonder, no hope and no cash !!!

Isn't Obama related to Cheney and Bush... and NOT related to any slaves

A Nightingale Sings in Berkley Square mentioned that it is not considered a scare tactic when generally talking about the truth. Here is some truth:

Barak has NO repeat NO Executive experience

Barak Flips constantly for political expediency…example…one month ago he said he would absolutely not tap into strategic reserves….two days ago he says we should sell 70 mil barrels..btw Gas is cheaper than it was a month ago.

####################################################

Rick- It's called listening to your advisors and experts around you. A great leader is one who considers all ideas inorder to make the best decision....This is obviously something that the Republicans know nothing about!

Nothing like smear tactics. It is a bit amusing to read the site though- some of "candidates" (never heard Fred Smith's name mentioned before) seem to be up because they vote with Bush 80% of the time, which makes them a fairly moderate Republican.

See... nice clean ads.

It would be a great time to impeach the war criminals Bush and Cheney.... that would cast a nice black shadow on the GOP and the lunatic fringe that supports them.

No matter who Obama picks, I am still an exDemocrat voting for McCain. The Democrats have angered people this year and Pelosi's lights out to rush off to promote her new book instead of staying to look for answers to high fuel prices was just another insult to Americans. I hope McCain looks really hard at Bobby Jindal of La. for his Veep. Jindal could really bring alot to McCain's campaign. Meanwhile, Obama is up to his old tricks, now calling for full seating of delegates from Fla and Michigan, now that he has cheated Hillary out of the nomination and needs Fla. and Michigan. He fought counting them when he felt he did not need them. A Chicago politican all the way, say and promise anything to get the office. What a deceptive and devisive piece of work Obama is.

how can it be that the democrats are going to attack the GOP VP candidate. according to the comments here only the republicans run attack ads and the dems are clean and pure and never attack their opponents

McCain is a fool. He has proven that by being G.W. Bush lap dog for 8 years.

McCain 08!

Politics at its worst.

What kind of a stupid attempt is this?
They have nothing on John McCain that is why they are desperate.

Obama should pick Jeremiah Wright. He has been Obama's closest advisor for the past 20 years. Change you can gag on.

THE DNC IS AS HAPLESS AS THE DEMOCRACTIC CONGRESS....DO NOT EXPECT MUCH FROM THERE GUYS BUT 1/2 votes . stuperdelegates...and well deserved VACATIONS////

You know McCain really could ask Cheney. Maybe we should be pressuring him to.

Isn't it unfortunate that Cheney didn't run for Pres this time?

(not)

Fire for Fire. Succeess and freedom doesnt come easy. Good work Dems! finally. We need more more. Where are the clips of Lieberman correcting John McCain, where are the 500+ loafers he wears to townhalls. Where is the confused one. That's what the dems should label McCain, becasue whether he is talking or looking, he always seems to be confused my friends.

I take aim at the racist terrorist who is running for president....Hussein Nobama.

Anybody who supports him must be as big of a traitor as Nobama. Proven fact!

The VP that McCain chooses will be the one that the top strategic Republicans really intend to PUSH into office. McCain is just the front. They probably planned on JEB but that is not going to pan out due to BUSH's many revealed atrocities. So they are fronting governor CHRIS( JEB's left hand) to see how that pans out.

If America allows the last 8 yearsof trickery and to "WIN" again, I would be even more afraid of America. Some people are just BULL HEADED.
They will not read, research or just open their eyes, so they are easily manipulated.
I PRAY FOR AMERICAN PEOPLE, I PRAY FOR McCAIN to step back/down. Maybe that is what he is doing with his pathetic campaign.

I PRAY FOR OBAMA AND I THAN GOD FOR HIM.

Any American who loves their country will vote for Obama.

Otherwise there will be race riots in the streets.

Is that what you rascist idiot morons want?

Poor Republicans................. touch me nots !
Ok to take at others but can't take it themselves.

If they can't stnad the heat, then stay out of the kitchen !!!!!

Obama aint no Kerry!

I trhink Britney Spears would make a wonderful VP for McSame !

Mr noun, verb and 911 Ghouliani, comes a close second to the Cheney

A Nightingale Sings in Berkley Square mentioned that it is not considered a scare tactic when generally talking about the truth. Here is some truth:

Barak has NO repeat NO Executive experience

Barak Flips constantly for political expediency...example...one month ago he said he would absolutely not tap into strategic reserves....two days ago he says we should sell 70 mil barrels..btw Gas is cheaper than it was a month ago.

Barak...please go away you political panderer

So this is the new politics of Senator Obama?
And the DNC attacks the RNC for negative ads?

If "telling the truth" is not "dirty politics" then how can people scream that Senator McCain's ads using Senator Obama's own words are "dirty" and "low"?

You can't have it both ways -

I actually think that this is good for the McCain VP vetters – they now know what line of attacks to expect for each of the possible VP's

I guess I'm a flip flopper also..

I was for Hillary and now I'm for McCain…

And proud of it…

Why would McCain Cantor? Rep.Cantor has been in Congress for 8 years. Not the best 8 years for the Country now was it and we are sure not better off in these 8 years. Gov. Crist would most likely be the best choice for VP unless McCain wants to shake things up and pick Ben Stien for the VP spot at least Ben is an independent thinker.

So, let see...

Why is it that every time the comments to the PoliticalTicker articles weigh on the side of McCain the moderators at CNN down the discussion really quick.

Point being: the story from earlier today entitled 'Kerry: McCain is 'dangerous' for the country.' You guys at CNN closed down the discussion with 7 comments. And, the slant on those comments were decidedly anti Kerry. Unlike other stories where you'll let the comments run for 50 to 100 plus responses if they are slanted pro-Obama anti-Republican.

You guys are so in the bag for Obama and the Dems its downright offensive.

And.., as usual, I'm sure you won't even run this comment of mine. What a joke.

What a Joke!

The Obama camp is clearly trying to turn around the fact that

OBAMA is not a viable candidate and will loose this fall.

Place a Sain vote for McCain 08!

Obama=Sencond Term Of Hugo Chavez.....Wake up America we can not afford a second term of Chavez

Funny how some GOP fools (who voted for Bush twice) suddenly throw Bush under the bus by claiming their "new guy"–72 years old-is NOTHING LIKE BUSH.

So, what you are saying is Bush sucks? Or McCain sucks?

The DNC is a circus and Pelosi is their clown.

Not that it really matters because after the debates it will be clear McCain can't get facts str8 and gets confused easy. It will also become painfully clear that he lies when he believes himself to be telling the truth.

Wait that sounds like my grandmother – she has Alzheimer ......U THINK

Sean
Puma doesn't have any dollar left since your baby HRC is still in debt and all you do is shouting I love you (but not that much. )
Tell me how much love and respect you have for HRC?
a) You won't follow her wishes to vote democrat
b} You won't help her with her debt
c) What you intend to do to get her the nomination won't work and you know it.
What is left? talking nonsense and this is exactly what you are doing and nobody is taking you seriously, not even HRC because she is no fool.

Howard Dean, after consulting George Soros, will let Obama know who his VP is. "Sit Obama sit, good boy".

Well it is definitely better then who will be the next Mondale.

Who could be the vice presidential short list for Obama?

Suggestion: Rev Wright, Tony Rezko or wait a second....please pick his wife Michelle Obama!

God helps us!

Obama=Sencond Term Of Hugo Chavez

I cant believe how the Bush administration and Cheney and MCSame keep bamboozling the American people with their juvenile
attack adds
The same old Rovian gutter style attacks and still most americans believe them and follow them down to the gutter like a pack of mindless robots
For the sake of your wonderful country WAKE UP!!!
*Take a Leap of Faith* for the first time in 8 years on a candidate of change who has taken the high road *Obama.*
Dont let yourself be *republicinized* by their dirty immature tactics
Quit burying your head in the sand or you will find yourself rowing in the same old boat with them to more war and misery for your country!!
*Take a leap of Faith*
please post my comment for a change

Say what you want DNC.... Just remember No rioting or looting when Obama loses in November.

Thank you DNC, for giving America some 'STRAIGHT TALK'

The only v.p. candidate worthy of replacing McDubya should it ever come to that, the only candidate capable of carrying on the McBushie policy is the one candidate who never gets a mention – Mr. Potato Head.
And just like McSame, you can take him apart ( a maverick) and put him back together again in totally different ways – like McBushie.

McCain won't have to even bother selecting a VEEP! He won't need one! ha!

Hey millioner lady – with all your millions you'd think you'd know how to spell and formulate a sentence correctly (btw millionaire is how it's spelled). Conservatives are liars and anything goes with them – bush, cheyney and mcsurge are examples of that.

What is more dangerous than 'another' Cheney, 'another' President with zippidy-do-da (no) experience = Obama. McCain picks Hillary and Independents help make up the 1st Cabinet in History that truely represents the American landscape.

Obama=second term of Chavez

I just saw a coomercial that said Obama was like Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. How could anyone think Obama is qualified to be President if he is like either of them.

I have heard all 3 speak and actually I think of the three Paris might be the smartest.... I say the dems insert paris instead of Obama

And who is the one running a negative campaign?

Jo Average: Condi is voting for Obama, so yeah lets pick her.

Some interesting stuff out there about Darragh Murphy, the PUMA PAC Treasurer:

notfallinginline.org

I have to say that I am confused as to why Fred Smith is on this list. He makes waaaaayyyy more money running FedEx than the VP could ever dream about. Give up running a global company that leaves you rolling in the dough to be McCain's runner-up- I don't think so.

It is interesting to see the DNC use hindsight to try and convince voters that their candidate would be better that the other. I agree with Annie that who would have known in 2000 that we would be in a war in 2008 and our lives would be significantly altered after 2001? What this site implies is that CEOs of 2 Fortune 500 companies and 5 governors would not make a good Vice President? If the issue is the economy, wouldn't one think that any one of these executive officers (either state or company) be the right candidate? If this site is supposed to tell the "truth" why is it that everything listed about the candidates is negative? Does this mean that in their entire tenure they have done nothing good for their state or company? I think their line should read "No matter who he chooses, help the Democratic Party spread *our version of* the truth about John McCain and his VP pick"

McCain = Recycled Bush with a memory problem. Is this who you want as president?

I am a Republican – who is voting for Obama....honestly – the DNC is why people don't vote for Democrats....there isn't alot wrong with McCain – but they feel as though making him a villan helps their cause...eventually...people will see you are lying...the reason I am voting for Obama over McCain is that we need a "change" and we need to believe again that our country can be great...and heal the wounds caused by Bushs foreign policy – the rhetoric spewed by the DNC helps nobody...and those complimenting the DNC for this action are really part of the problem...not part of the solution.

I LOVE the DNC after the way they shut up that train wreck Hillary Clinton, but they can't shut up my boy McCain.

Dear Ex, McBush already is McBush. No judgement, leaving troops to be in Iraq but not funding the VA so their PTSD can be treated, Willing to support Big Oil over the needs of the rest of us. Obama has more judgement in his little finger than McBush/Darth Vador everr had or ever will have. How long has McBush been in the senate only recently flipflopping on off shore drilling, 26 or 27 years??

Well I see that the far-right is out today. Can any of you answer how McCain will solve:

1. $10 TRILLION IN NATIONAL DEBT....... AND GIVE US ALL TAX CUTS??????

2. HOW WILL MCCAIN "BOMB......BOMB......BOMB IRAN" AND BRING THE WAR TO AN END?????

3. HOW WILL MCCAIN WORK ON SOLVING GLOBAL WARMING, AND LEAD OUR NATION TO ENERGY INDEPENDENCE WHEN HE IS CLEARLY IN THE POCKETS OF BIG OIL??????????

4. HOW WILL MCCAIN DEAL WITH THE (BUSH LEGACY) OF THE $490 BILLION DOLLAR DEFICIT........ PLUS ANOTHER $80 BILLION FOR IRAQ????????

5. HOW WILL MCCAIN PROVIDE HEALTHCARE TO ALL THE 46 MILLION AMERICANS WHO NEED IT?????????

6. HOW WILL MCCAIN CHANGE OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH WORLD LEADERS WHO FRANKLY, HAVE LOST ALL RESPECT FOR OUR NATION??????????????????

A vote for McCain is a vote for the same.

after the fact barack. the wisest man of all. one who never leads but criticizes the efforts of those who do, then uses their plan to advance himself. he as never come up with one original plan of his own but piggy-backed on those who did. did you notice the people who are ridiculing the VP shortlist like Kerry ect are all people who themselves failed as nominee or presidential hopefuls new style politics give me a break.

While your busy vetting the Republicans, maybe you want to look into William Ayers and Tony Rezco a little bit as I suspect that you may be hearing about them REAL SOON.

The MSM has ignored these two stories for a long time, but I think we may all be privvy to the TRUTH any day now.

How will Obama getting a sweetheart deal on two properties with Rezco play out with the folks "going through tough times"?

Or people who ACTUALLY love our country, are not going to be pleased to hear about Ayers who had Obamas's first political coming out party AT HIS HOUSE and Obama was there front and center, but the problem is that Ayers claim to fame is killing Americans, blowing up American institutions and WISHING HE DID MORE.

Thank you for nominating him over the SUPERIOR Hillary Clinton.

McCain – Rice 2008

liberal is LIER anything goes ..they come to DC only for EARMARK making self rich..promice want to kick EARMARK just lier.

EARMARK= CORRUPTION

Hillary and obama the biggest earmark and pelosi lier too

Telling the truth is NOT going negative or playing "dirty politics" as some of you air heads claim.

What he DNC needs to do is to run some of those youtube videos showing McCain's flip-flops and confusion. Are the 2 or 3 in which he said "they will be no negativity coming out of our side. McCain ahs gotten no scrutiny from the media.. The DNC should be highlighted his unbeleivable flaws and not a V.P. who has'nt been chosen yet. I know maybe it's a question of judgment. Uh, that was already proven with the Keating 5 scandel. Yet, the media want go there, but they sure did'nt mind hitting Obama with a series of GOTCHA questions.

Oh, right, the same DNC that first stole my vote, then decided it was only worth half. What makes them think I'll ever listen to them again?

Howard Dean should have been thrown out after that fiasco, but he was reappointed by Obama. Well, I guess Obama the Flip-Flop Man owed him for the Democratic nomination.

For the first time in my life, I'll be proud to vote Republican!

I have to comment on Angie's comment. To paraphrase, "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me."

Fool me three times means, I'M AN IDIOT!!!!

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!

It's "their," not "they're." Sentence three.

All you age discriminators in your McCain bashing, it is Obama who has the memory problem. Or else he could remember from day to day what he promised yesterday so as not to spit out all those flip-flops! Does Obama and company really think the voting public is stupid? I've voted mostly Democratic during my life time, but NEVER for someone so blatantly discriminatory as this one who did Hillary in - and now has the audacity to adopt all her ideas. As for picking VPs, Obama should choose John Kerry! That would truly be a portrait in courage - as he boldly exhibited toward the Swiftboaters.

What, I thought that the DNC would focus on the real issues in this race! With John MCCain having over 20 years experience in the US Senate, his pick would even up the ticket. On the other hand, any VP pick Obama choses will probably have more experience than him and be a Washington insider. Just take a look at his VP vetting team. I would like to know that if John McCain's war record does not qualify him for the Presidency than at least his ability and record show that he has taken hard line positions against members of his own party. What exactly, besides judgment is Barack Obama running on? Exactly how many "present" votes in the Illinois legislature and US Senate does he have to be running for the highest job in this country? Come on you nasty Obama supporters, please give me some evidence other than judgment on what Obama has accomplished to push his leadership credentials here and abroad? I dare you. Any instances where he has taken a hard, independent stance separate from his own party? Kissup, and tell please! Maybe the media can help you.

McCain will never be Bush. Period. With no judgment and experience Obama is another Bush version.

Keep up the great work DNC, I know you can't stoop as low as the repuglicans but keep it up? And Barack has more sound judgement, innate goodness than every single one of these prospects could ever dream about.

The funny thing is everyone of these people has more substance than the Dalai Bama... what a joke... the Miley Cirus of Politics....

excellent website! Tie the Duh-bya/Darth Vadar anchor around each of their necks and watch them sink like a stone

The DNC may want to take a reality check. There polls that they love to tout so often show that congress approval rating is at 9% and possibly falling further. Since they are running the congress they may want to think twice before running strictly on negativity. Meanwhile Nancy Pelosi continues to pull her antics by turning off the power in the house ( Congress for those of you in Rio Linda ) while others are trying to vote on an energy bill. Typical elitists acting like 3 year olds. But thats right this is the party of change, back to the same old garbage they were doing before they lost in 94.

McCain 08, Since when did I believe anything that the Democrats have said?

RUSH '08

Who cares what the Mickey Mouse club thinks. They should be more focused on not disenfranchising their own voters..

MCCAIN= BUSH THIRD TERM WAKE UP AMERICA !!!!!!!!!!!!! mccain wants to continue the bush policies and his plans AMERICA DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE THREE TIMES BE SMART THIS TIME VOTE OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Talk about "low" tactics? This quote used by McCain back in 2001 when he lost the nomination to Bush is ludicrous in that the DNC are trying to imply something that noone knew back then. It is like looking backwards after every tragedy and saying we should have seen this or we should have stopped such and such. Where have the Dems and the DNC ben for the pasat 8 years? Yes, seems when they got control, they took ipeachment off the table, held lots of inquiries yet no results and let those that snub them off the hook with no consequences. Want to hold this statemnt up for a closer look - look at your own actions DNC and Dems in allowing Cheney and Bush a free reign as well.

After the democratic primary catastrophe the DNC's credibility is in the toilet. So who cares what that bunch of clowns has to say?

For the repugs this election is really about the who the VP selection is. McLame is really old and chances are he won't live out his first term or bew healthy enough to govern if he is still alive. That is to say a vote for McLame is more than likely a vote for the next real POTUS – who ever that VP candidate may be.
Bottom line – if you're closed-minded enough to vote repug this year dispite the condition of the country make sure you know you're voting for the VP to be POTUS, not McLame...

Timber (ex dem) August 5th, 2008 10:49 am ET

Obama scare tactics! Was he not accusing McCain of doing the same thing just yesterday? I guess it is "Do as I say, not as I do" with Obama.

___________________________
How is pointing out well documented facts a scare tactics? Are you serious? Accusing Obama of being a Muslim when there is no proof that this is true is a scare tactic. Suggesting that Castro and Osama Bin Laden support Obama is a scare tactic. Comparing Obama to Hilter is a scare tactic. Pointing out the fact that someone has a shady past based on facts...well that's just the truth.

This web site implies that the Democrats are becoming very desperate. They are desperate to tie McCain to Bush as their whole playbook is based on it. This is MoveOn.org fanaticism.

Obama scare tactics! Was he not accusing McCain of doing the same thing just yesterday? I guess it is "Do as I say, not as I do" with Obama.

-----

Are you really illiterate enough that you read DNC as Obama?

Pick Ted Stevens – at least he doesn't do a good job of hiding that he's a devious money-grubbing phoney.

Fight back remember 2004 how Bush won

Maybe McCain can ask Kerry to be his VP just like Kerry asked McCain in '04

Cheney's evil. (So is Bush.) I don't know how he can sleep at night knowing that he spearheaded the campaign to send thousands of Americans and unknown thousands of Iraqis to their deaths so that his great great great grandkids can live like kings. I wouldn't vote for anyone who has anything to do with this guy (or Bush) to be dogcatcher.

If only Collin Powell will join McCain than it's surely bye-bye Obama.

Thank you Jesus! The Repugs are outta here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have never been more ashamed of the Democratic party. I was a Democrat for 25 years, and after the primary where the DNC picked their candidate( not the voters) I have switchd to become an Independent. The Democrats have been offering pure crap as Presidential candidates for several elections. Kerry couldn't defeat one of the most unpopular Presidents in history. Gore was robbed and was the best candidate in years. Dukakis and mondale were jokes. Hillary was a viable candidate but the DNC chose Obama. Oh well, I will vote for McCain because he has reached over the aisle and represents a true hero. Obama is a joke.

Weak. Very weak.

Here come the two paid Rush Limbaugh bloggers using thirty names each trying to sway and disrupt the mindless.They pretend they are people from all walks of life and gender as well.Its really easy to spot them,they just attack Obama and never have any facts about McCain.

Grandpa Munster is just too old and crazy. He's dangerous.

As Harry Truman told a supporter who yelled out "Give 'em hell, Harry!" during a campaign stop: "I tell the truth, and they think it's hell."

John McCain was censured over his role as part of the Keating Five. He voted against the Webb GI Bill just this year. He came out against an MLK Day in Arizona (before he was for it). He left his disabled wife at age 42 to shack up with a 24 year old rodeo queen who just HAPPENED to be worth $100 million and married her just a month after the ink was dry on the divorce he forced on his 1st wife. And this is the guy who says he will run an honorable campaign and is ready to lead while comparing his opponent to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.

One last question. McCain said "I've won wars." Name one.

The DNC is a joke and laughing stock. Under crazy doc's leadership they have made a mockery out of the voting system. Talk about disenfranchisement....they are the leaders in that department. It is a lie and hate machine that makes Rove look like a rank political amateur.

AWESOME!!!!

McCain=BUSH=CHENEY...JUST SAY NO

Vote OBAMA/BAYH 2008

How funny! The DNC is now in a defensive and attack mode trying to preemptively attack any and all vice president candidate McCain may select.

I guess they aren't happy with polls that show their golden boy not running away with this election like they thought when they forced and manipulated him onto the ticket.

Oops.

I am now ashamed to be a democrat. Obama and the DNC claiming McCain is running negative. TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR!! Obama pandering to anyone who will vote is making me sick, and you Obama supporters who are falling in line behind him should be ashamed of yourselves. Kerry slinging mud is disgraceful, I'm ashamed of myself for voting for him.

Oh the desperation... as of this morning McCain is leading in the polls... for the first time. In a year when the Dems should run away with it he's made up 9 points... Obama is a joke... everyone is seeing his empty suit... to bad Hillary didn't get the nod... she would turn down the VP slot at this point.

Nice Job DNC... leave it to you to blow a sure thing...

Obama Husseins' VP will be the "false prophet"

And Democrats are accusing McCain of running a dirty campaign?

McCain, back out while you can! The Bush Administration destroyed your weak party and you have no choice but to soak in it. You have no chance...we simply dont want you here.
Obama 08

The DNC must be gettng desperate trying to attack possible GOP VP candidates already. Their desperation started showing when the subject of seating FL and MI was brought up by Obama. They see him slipping in the polls because he's being outed as just another typical politician doing and saying anything he can to be elected just as Rev. Wright predicted he would. I was considering Obama but after all his flip flops and the way the media has anointed him the savior of the world there is now no way I would vote for him.
DNC and super delegates should dump Obama and put Hillary in

DNC, you silly Geese, you're now finally waking up. I was getting worried there for a minute when you let McGoose run loose with "Obama is responsible for high oil prices" and "The biggest Celebritity in the World" blunder. I was getting worried at your seemingly slow and "not strong enough response" to beat back such ridiculousness. WAKE UP DNC and put on your fight gloves. As you can see, McSame is already warmed up. I wonder: do you need a dose of Hillary to beat back the old gizzards? Don't let the world's hopes fade by playing nice. Be firm and strong and push back - NOW.

Pick Condi Rice!

Every single one of these prospects has more experience, leadership ability, and integrity then Barack ever dreamed about.

Funny CNN, on your ticker you couldn't mention the name of the "Obama backer" who said that McCain is dangerous and when you open it, it's none other that John "three scratches" Kerry who has become the rabid mouthpiece for Obama against McCain as if both of their service was "equal".

You then only allow 7 comments to be posted, how long you going to leave the "bad Republican VP nominees" open for a little Republican bashing? A lot longer I suspect.

DemoRATS do this and they are just letting the people know the truth, but when Republicans do it, it's dirty politics or below the belt.

Keep up the good work, MSDNC, ooops, CNN.

McCain-Rice 2008

John McCain's "high road" hasn't lasted very long. He's revealed himself as just another politician who's willing to say whatever it takes to get elected.

If we want real change in this country, you won't get it from Senator McCain, who's raising pandering to a whole new level.

Of course, if you like the way the country is heading....

The definition of stupid: John McCain implementing the Bush policies expecting a different outcome. Get REAL! Get Obama 08 & 12.

P.S.–McCain's energy policy. Drill here Drill now.
foreign policy: Surge! Surge! Surge!
economic policy: Tax cuts for the Rich and BIG OIL!
education policy: No child left behind part 2.
Did I forget anything? No pun intended. (yes it was)

Watch out for McCain and his "Phony Talk Express". It you are not worth more than $250,000 they will run right over you without even swerving.

the dem will be sooo sorry this year with their socialist Obama....this guy wants to be president but the only thing he has done is "community organizer". what kind of guy will talk infront of 200,000 people, but can not express himself with out a written speech. Obama will be defeated like his uncle John Kerry "THE FLIP FLOPPER"

Losers. The Dems and Repubs have ruined this country. Vote for neither!! VOTE GREEN like I am. Only way to truly change Washington is to vote everyone OUT and start FRESH. Cynthia/Clemente 08!

Timber, It's not scare tactics to put up the FACTS on someone. That would be the difference here. The Rebubs don't have any bad stuff to put up on Obama so they have to scare people with 'what if' scenarios (too black, not black enough, could be a Muslim, could be sleeping with Paris Hilton). The Obama campaign just quotes what these people have actually done in the past. See the difference?

Thank goodness–Because everytime they take aim-they miss and it backfires because we can't have an Obama on the job learning experience–
I think he's changed positions more than Kerry-
In an election where it the Dem cycle-All the Bush Haters and the poor campaign being run so far by McCain and it's a dead heat-
McCain is going to win–
There will be about a 75% majority for McCain on the over 65's and they will all vote just to prevent him from winning-
I am not concerned-
He should be ahead by 20 Points-
Hillary was the choice and Barack the VP–then they would have had an opportunity for 16 year run-
But the DEMS and the media backed the wrong candidate–
Thank Goodness for your stupidity–

Do you moderators write some of these blogs to spice things up, or do rely on The Onion writers to help you out. Nobody but nobody can be as stupid as some of the blog spealers., so it must be some one wants those of us with a smattering of intelegence to at least get a laugh out of reading this nonsense.

They should be attacking McCain not his VP. Can't the democrats do anything right. If McCain becomes president we are all doomed to a failed economy and perpetual war.

McCain and Bush are two of the same with a few exceptions. McCain is more like Cheney with his warmonger personality. Besides that, he and Bush are almost excact.

KERRY IS DANGEROUS ,OBAMA IS VERY DANGEROUS, THE DEMOCRATS ALL ARE DANGEROUS. HOW COME WHEN THINGS DON'T GO YOUR WAY , THE ARTICLE IS CLOSED FOR COMMENT???

Gee, these guys sure are scary on the website.

It looks like they will lower taxes, protect our freedoms and protect the country.

What the heck is that?

McCain = Cheney and Bush. He has a little bit of both in him. Watch him now try to seperate himself from them, but we know the real McCain, warmonger, big coorporate and oil sponsor, bully, angry, cynical, negative to name a few.

The Waffling ONE:

He waffles here,
He waffles there,
Our dear Obama waffles everywhere.

If you don't like what he said with all his waffling might,
Wait until tonight,
He will switch his words to the right.

But if you feel he lurched too far,
He'll copy the left,
And make you his star.

After all "yes we can" was Hillary's call,
until Obama designed her fall,
and stole her delegates vote and all.

Now we watch his waffling light,
and wait to see his plight,
as he copies left and right.

Since McBush has not come out with a single solution besides telling us why we shouldn't vote for Obama, I think this is the right thing to do by the DNC.

Is there ANYONE that Mcbush could get as his V.P. that would add ANYTHING to make the old geezer acceptable to the white house? I really doubt it. The American people want someone who is fresh and ready to take on the job of repairing what McBushes idol has done to our country the past 7/8 years. That can only be the person running against him. Mr. Obama is smart, deplomatic, presents himself very well in public situations, is a great family man, loves his one and only wife, and is very personable... What more could one ask for in a President. Anything else he can hire.. As for you Hillary Clinton fans... Get over it and grow up. You ladies (and some men) who say you are voting for McBush because of Hillary are and were not true Democrats, you were Clintonites... I loved Bill to and thought he was the greatest president we have ever had but that time is gone and life goes on. If you think voting for McBush is going to make things change you are sadly mistaken. They will change alright but IT WON'T GET HILLARY ELECTED.. IT WILL ONLY MAKE THE REST OF US MORE RELUCTANT TO VOTE FOR HER THE NEXT TIME... TAKE YOUR DEFETE LIKE LADIES AND GO FOR IT BIGGER AND BETTER THE NEXT TIME.. BUT DON'T TRY TO DO IN THE PARTY WHO WANTED HER IN THE FIRST PLACE.

NOTE TO CNN.... Please print this..... The PUMAs need to read it.

To see who is more for the people and less for special interest, all you have to do is look who voted against reigning in the oil speculators and who voted for it. Even after a number of analysts spoke before congress and all agreed that tightening the ropes on oil speculators would cause oil to drop into the $50-$60 a barrel. Over a 150 republicans voted against it. Why? Because they would rather help the oil companies, who fatten their campaign coffers, the ability to drill. I guess President Bush still has one more promise to keep. Enough said.

So what your telling me is that my choices are Obama or Suffering.

Im no idiot I Choose Obama.

> I would vote for any of those men on the ticket with McCain over
> anyone that Obama will pick.

Please go ahead but do shut up about it. In case you haven't realized, no one gives a rat's rear about you PUMAs.

Between the back-biting yellow-spine PUMAs, the biggoted, self-riteous ditto heads, not to mention the cluesless "America right or wrong" McCainites, Barrack Obama cannot do anything right... But that is the mantra of a brainwashed right wing machine that cannot take a dose of their own medicine. The only thing they will understand is if Obama puts on his waders and gets down there in the sewer home of the RNC and go to a poop-fight loaded with diarrhea....

I thought all the democrats went on vacation? I thought Obama wanted to run a positive campaign? I thought I Obama was NOT for oil drilling? I thought Obama was NOT for tapping into the oil reserves? I thought Obama was FOR public finance? I thought Obam...etc...etc...etc..

FLIP FLOPPER OBAMA!!!

Unelectable!! VOTE MCCAIN!!

BRILLANT DNC!! Let's keep it coming! The McBush Campaign is so into the toilets, it's like an easy FLUSH!!

Attack the repugs, when Dems attack they cry "foul" they can dish it out but they cant take ...like whinny little brats, you repugs have awkened a sleeping giant...prepare for the onslught that your high and might Mclame has started by listening to roves diciples, in the final analysis with all the documentation in and all the Kerry states he will win, plus NH, your man mclame is going to come up short! I dont care if Obama wins by one EC vote, a win is a win no matter what the popular vote, Obama can win without Ohio and Fla, so all you repugs out there, put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Hello Mr Pot, here's Mr Kettle.
Jeez, give me a break. Meanwhile Obama did so much so effectively to smear HRC that he can't choose her as a running mate without fearing he'd alienate his supporters. He shot his foot, just before planting it in his mouth.
If Obama = Change, Change = flip-flop.

Just say Nobama '08

This election is in God's hand now. The fool McCain used 'God' as one of his tactics, let's wait and see the act of God.

Obama and his campaign have alot of room to talk. Obama is only a few points ahead of McCain in the polls. The only way Obama is going to win is if he puts Clinton as V.P. Obama is dangerous for this country, he is flip flopping on everyhting. In the Primary he was totally
against Fls & Mich votes to be counted, now he wants the Democrats
to change the rules. If Fla & Mich would have been counted Hillary
would have one.

DO NOT TRUST THIS MAN.

I can't understand how John McCain can keep up in the polling numbers with almost every aspect of his candidacy being negative.

His age is a real factor and should be very, very, very scary to all Americans and the world at large. His continual foul ups are a real tip off to what the aging process does to all of us on a gradual but definite basis from our 50's on.

The last straw should be his copy catting almost all the Bush policies right down to catering to big oil. The image some people have of McCain as a maverick no longer exists. Get used to it America!

Well I wonder if the likes of Al Sharpton, Rev Jesse Jackson or Jerimia Wright are on Obama's short list for VP? And will someone tell the Demcorats who happened to have been charge of the House and Senate thse past few years, that Bush and Cheney poll numbers are much higher than theirs!

MY gures is they Bush and especially Cheney are telling McCain who to pick as his vice president.
McCain has done nothing but tell us he is going to continue the Bush policies of VOODOO ECONOMICS, THE WAR IN IRAQ FOR ANOTHER HUNDRED YEARS, MAYBE ATTACK IRAN, AND NORTH KOREA.
We cannot have another man in the Whitehouse that is not willing to use all the diplomatic expertise at his disposal and the help of our most trusted allies in Great Britian, France, Germany, Australia, Canada, Italy, and others.
McCain is a hot headed, fly off the handle, type person with a failing memory and this country cannot afford to have such a person at the helm.

This latest DNC ploy is nothing new as they have held the internet advantage since Dean's epic run that imploded on his own ego, funny is'nt it how Demcratic egos did in; Gore, Dean, Kerry and now the One, the Obama. The DNC site is just dirty politics of a "typical DNC candidate".

McCain's team has stepped it up a notch with his latest internet adds; "celebrity" and "the one" and have Obama's team spinning in place. A tongue in cheek attack is not so much an attack as it is just a great irrevolent way of pointing out the facts in a very PC DNC world, priceless. Irrevolence is something "the One" is not used to.

- To Debra

Hillary clinton is no longer in the race, so get over your self and stop acting like some spoilt brat.
Perhaps you are republican pretending to be a democrat. You can continue to indulge yourself in your ignorance, and throw away the future of generations to come including that of your kids born or unborn. You are obviously more interested in the personality rather than in what the institution stands for. Like i said you are no democrat!

Kerry thinks McCain is dangerous - yet he tried to get him to be his VP running mate in 2004.

Everyone has something to hide - EVERYONE.

Read Obama Nation - Every fact is documented - and can't be disputed. Obama has more to hide than anyone.

Debra said, From a former Clinton supporter- Obama and his unsrupulous hit dogs are about as nasty as you can get. Good luck McCain.

Well, if you feel this way then why don't you enlist to the war or at least your husband and children should. A vote for McCain equates to supporting and continuing the war. I don't understand how people can support McCain, but not fight in the war. This is hyporcrisy.

DNC Negative politics as usual.

The problem is that any one of them would be better than Obama.

It only takes a certain amount of time for any kid to stand up to the stupid bully. About time the DNC gave back some of what the GOP has been dishing out for years.

I cant believe how the Bush administration and Cheney and MCSame keep bamboozling the American people with their juvenile
attack adds
The same old Rovian gutter style attacks and americans believe them
and follow them down to the gutter like a pack of mindless robots
For the sake of your wonderful country WAKE UP!!!
*Take a Leap of Faith* for the first time in 8 years on a candidate of change who has taken the high road *Obama.*
Dont let yourself be *republicinized* by their dirty immature tactics
Quit burying your head in the sand or you will find yourself rowing in the same old boat with them to more war and misery for your country!!
*Take a leap of Faith*
Obama 08

If any of the potential candidates are as vile, underhanded, sleazy and anti-Constitution as vp cheney, the Republican party should hang its head in shame!! The American people elected bush/cheney (shame, shame), but then (as now) neither party has been able to present candidates who have the experience, intellect, integrity, morals,credibility and a true love for this country and respect for its history which should be required for the position. Hopefully, soon, there will be a third party which actually selects potential candidates based on these elements, not just money and the backing of corporations and fanatic far-left and far-right fanatics.

"President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney may be keeping a low profile this campaign season while they’re approval ratings are at historic lows"

they're = contraction of "they are"
their = possessive form of they

Isn't it nice to have a presidential candidate that will actually argue and debate on the merits of a person's record rather than some superflous nonsense?!?! Their will be people who will see this site and disagree with it but they can not disagree with the fact that the site discusses legitimite issues and concerns regarding these people and not their perosonalities, favorite colors, or any other load of crap that McCain may be more inclined to discuss.

Fired up and ready to go!!! Obama 08 &12

More practical politics to alarm the populace by a series of hobglobins.

No Dragon Lady Democrats are not desperate, reserve that attack for your no plan candidate McCain. Don't hate because the Democratic website is accurate, something John McCain's camp gave up months ago.

President Bush's 30% approval rating looks to me like a significant advantage over the Democratic lead Congress rating of 19%(wonder if that is stated in any of their Web war websites?)

And with the Democrates constantly claiming that McCain is just another Bush, I'm supprised Obama is even wasting his time with this election. Bush won in 2000 and 2004 against liberal Dem canditates and Obama is the most liberal yet. If McCain is really just another Bush (we Republicans actually know he is better), the election should be all locked up for McCain in November.

When McCain wins, I expect many Democrates will actually leave this country. Which would be good because there are millions upon millions from all over the world who want to come to this land of opportunity and take their place. Which I think is odd since the Democrates claim that because of President Bush the whole world hates us. Don't think I would want to move to a country I hated.

McCain in 08!!!!!!!!!!

Every member of the DNC should be very ashamed of him- or herself for what they did to our core principles of democracy by advancing this neophyte who has no record to prove that he IS what he says he is (pretty rhetoric is just pretty rhetoric, and Obama's been flinging it masterfully to fool you all).

DARRAGH MURPHY, the ineffective, if not petty and apparently corrupt treasurer of PUMA PAC, should be ashamed of herself, too…

Members of PUMA PAC: Write Darragh Murphy, demand a refund, and give your money to help pay down Hillary's campaign debt, or to groups like The Denver Group or WomenCount PAC, which have already demonstrated in a shorter amount of time that they will use the money immediately to place ads in newspapers.

Knoxville Puma

DONT VOTE FOR THE WHEEL CHAIR CANDIDATE. GEE......I DONT REMEMBER WHERE I PARKED MY RASCAL SCOOTER.

VOTE OBAMA......08

We have never needed a viable third party more than we do now. The Dems and Reps continue to scare us away from other choices with the "wasted vote" argument. Pick a third party candidate and vote for them. We won't win, but if 30 percent of us show we want REAL CHANGE by rejecting the current government, then they will be the ones scared into actually responding to the people. The only wasted vote is one that continues to support this horrible two-party system, where both parties are essentially the same. We can just scrap the next four years anyway, as we are doomed to have a bad president yet again.

Very good argument and strategy...Romney and Fiorina in particular have the potential to be even worse, more corrupt than Cheney.

The world is dying to know who McCains VP will be. However if he chooses any of the people that served in this Congress for seven and a half years and came up with todays results, I don't want any of 'em.
71/2 years of Republican rule and....Unemployment is rampant, The Dollar is worthless, my house has been for sale for 2 years, and I heard General Motors wants to move to Japan (kidding but maybe).
Congratulations Republicans!
May you keep it up for another eight years!

Foreign Policy, the fact that McCain was a POW and fought in the Vietnam WAr does not mean he can lead the country, Wes clark said it right, go read his comments. All that is need hear is VISIONS and GOOD JUDGEMENT FOR THE NEXT GENERATION. OBAMA hasnt being in Washington dat long but could take Mccain on his best issues, FOREIGN POLICY, why can Mccain take him on the Economy?, dont think so cos he is rolling out the same Bush failed tax cuts, virtually all bush policy with the exception of the Envionments thats all. He just went to bush`s 04`campaign site and then copy and paste the policy, check that out, if I`m wrong then call me out to it. And that is why he cant talk about the Issues, jst wanna talk about Paris and Britney all day, saying it is humor, What kind of humor can dat be wen the AMerican people are suffering, well cant blame him when he still has Phill Gramm advising him behind the scenes. OBAMA `08

while you are on a roll, investigate to see who is reporting the polls as someone seems to be blocking the real poll results to show Obama' s lead. He should be leading this grumpy idiot alteast by a
20-25 point lead.

TEMPERAMENT!! I think temperament should be considered greatly in this election. McCain is too hot tempered, he has no controll even over his own Campaign, how does he want to lead us hear in America. If you cant control your campaign of abt 200 people, can you indeed lead our nation? Obama has the temperament and so Democrats, Independents and Republicans need to take this into great considerations. OBAMA 08.

CNN where is your story on how you are hiring the Dana Milbank? You really need to keep up with the news. If Dana Milbank had any integrity he would have apologized for the mistake, but he obviously meant to write what he did. For CNN to hire him after he wrote that deceptive article on Senator Obama's comment tells it all about CNN. CNN does not have any integrity in their reporting. They are right there in the gutter with the likes of FOX only they try to hide their bias, but it is so blatant that everyone can see it. They need to give up that "Best Political Team" and change it to "The Most Bias Against Obama Team". It looks like Keith is a loyal friend to Dana, but otherwise he would have been vote "The Worst Person in the Worrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrld".

The choice between Obama and McCain is so miserable–neither candidate inspires trust or confidence–that whoever gets picked for the VP slot in either party might actually elevate the contest.

As for the DNC, it destroyed its credibility with the going-through-the-motions charade of its Rules and Bylaws Committee's "hearing" on the Michigan and Florida votes. They keep soliciting me for money. They won't get any.

The first thing the democrats should do is not talk out of line. I don't like Cheney but he has bigger "GONADS" then all the democrats put together. He has told them to kiss off and told "SENATOR LEAHEY" to get screwed "ONLY HE DIDN"T USE THAT WORD".. He has never bowed a knee to them and never played politics with them. That is what a vice president is supposed to do back the president and don't be a typical run of the line politician. You closed the article real quick about that sissy "KERRY". A man who spent 6 weeks all together in combat and got three purple hearts for toenail type injuries. I served for twenty years "including vietnam" he is a Jane Fonda. The man is nothing but a sleazeball like TED KENNEDY. With this blue blood sissy backing Obama the more reason to vote for John McCain. Yes John McCain is a danger to you liberal "SISSY MEN" as Arnold the governor of California called you. He could possibly ask you people to serve your country in a draft.Then you would have to stop your whining and criticing the country and actually have to do something for it. That would be a change for you liberals.

Bush, Cheney and McCain are birds of the same feather.

Timber,
It generally is not considered a scare tactic to tell the truth, unless you can't handle the truth. Misquoting a person to twist the people's perception of a candidate is a scare tactic. Kind of like the other day when the Washington Post misquoted Obama's speech overseas and trying to label him as uppity. Or the time McCain put Obama's face on the 100 dollar bill for a tv ad. Those are scare tactics. Now if you consider how old, cranky and forgetful McCain is, that's not a scare tactic it's the truth.

McCain '08 , The only way to go.

This is just a business-like way of doing things...........no mockery or kitchen sink politics involved !!

McCain's choice of VP will be to satisfy those who are bankrolling his campaign. His choice will be highly suspect, but needs to be seen before objective comments can be made.

On a different issue, why did CNN mysteriously closed the article on John (loose canon) Kerry so quickly?

I do not support McCain but find this site offensive just as I do many of the McCain supporter sites.

I want to know why I should vote for someone and not why I should not vote for the other person...get away from all this negative BS!!!!

I cant believe how after the Bush administration and Cheney and MCSame keep bamboozling the American people with their juvenile
attack adds
The same old Rovian gutter style attacks and americans believe them
and follow them down to the gutter like a pack of mindless robots
For the sake of your wonderful country WAKE UP!!!
*Take a Leap of Faith* for the first time in 8 years on a candidate of change who has taken the high road *Obama.*
Dont let yourself be *republicinized* by their dirty immature tactics
Quit burying your head in the sand or you will find yourself rowing in the same old boat with them to more war and misery for your country!!
*Take a leap of Faith*
Obama 08

Debra...Obama's hit dogs???? Give me a break! What rock have you been hiding under this past year? The Republicans are and always have been the slime ball throwers of ANY campaign...FOREVER. Get a clue.

Why not bash each other some more - no wonder Americans have lost interest in all of this - why is no one is debating the real problems we average Americans face and providing solutions instead of rheteric.

POLITICS AS USUAL - by both Parties.

SICK! SICK! All of this posturing.

I want to see a real debate between McCain and Obama and have them answer questions (not scripted). ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT REALLY LET US KNOW THEIR POSITIONS. No more "double speak" that doesn't really tell us anything.

CNN ,

Since you close the comments about Kerry saying Mccain is dangerous so fast, I will express it in this post. It is about time a fellow Democrat have stepped up to the plate for Obama!! Because Obama can't keep fighting himself because it looks like Obama is always on the defense. Obama is doing what he is suppose to be doing and that is addressing the Americans issues!! Fellow Democrats where are you? Some of you guys have future races and if Obama loses because of the Democrats or win without your help, the American people will not forget this!! Where are the all Dem Senators, Congressmens and Governors attack dogs? We have to counter every negative ad and comment the Mccain's put out there and be consistent with it!! And in October we need to really drop a load on their behinds!!

Abby – What? The Democratic party did not learn from 2000. Look what they did to FL and MI this year, split the Democratic party and will not let Hillary Clinton name be put in nomination. Hillary received more votes and delegates than T. Kennedy but his name was put in nomination without any question. In 2004 they nominated an elitist, exactly what they are going to do this year. Give me a break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hit Back hard DNC good job do not let this stupid republicans go away with anything, they will destroy this nation if they are givn the chance.

What next for the DNC? Are they going to show the six dgrees of Kevin Bacon? Psst, its been done.

First, don't believe anything anyone is saying unless it's a surreptitious cellphone or an inadvertant open mike. Political candidates will now say anything to get elected knowing that there are no consumer protection laws to force them to live by what they were told to say by their handlers.

Why is it that Obama's new style of politics seems to rely heavily on attacking McCain instead of pushing his new and improved plans? Is it because his plans are the same old recycled Democratic workhorses of raising taxes and increasing entitlement programs?

Good work DNC

This is all getting so ridiculous! I can't wait for the campaign to be over. McCain is not a nice person and frankly scares the bjeezus out of me (as well as some Republicans). Everyone goes on and on about him being honorable - what a bunch of baloney. They just don't want to insult a POW. Frankly, it is not honorable to dump your disabled wife to take up with a young blonde with big bucks to fund your political career! Look deeper into McCain's past and you will not like what you find. He is a nasty person, and should not be trusted with the future of this wonderful country!

McWar and the rabid (albiet reluctant) right-wing of the Neo-Consevative Republican base are wetting their pants about the fact that the rational, level-headed (albiet pissed off) left -wing of the Moderate Center-Left Democratic Base has come out "guns blazing" this election cycle !!!!!!

I LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!

VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA...IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO !!!!!!!!!!

one thing that can be said for the v.p. prospect eric cantor, and that's that he has a definite simularity with mccain as far as race is concerned. he doesn't like blacks either. just in case they forgot to mention that fact.

Don't see a half way good choice on the list..

HOW LOW WILL YOU GO? THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS AT ITS LOWEST POINT. i AM A TRUE DEMOCRATIC THAT WILL NOT VOTE FOR BO OR HELP THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. THEY ARE SO BIAS AND KNOW HOW TO LIE. JUST REMEMBER EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY.

Hey Super Delegate NJ,
If the RNC fires back with a racist motive, we will react and fire back,
that is what should be done: KILL IGNORANCE AS SOON AS IT RAISES ITS UGLY HEAD, and with Bush's ignorant administration, we obviously failed to do that, and now we're paying for it dearly.
If you make a racist comment, we will call you out on it.
So bicker all you want, but racists will not be tolerated.
Maybe what you need to do is tell your leaders in the RNC to re-define the values so they don't harbour racists and bigots, maybe then your party can then begin to heal.
Threatening to use racism, and then playing the reverse race card will not work this time!

The DNC is still trying to run against Bush/Cheyney who have already beaten the Dems in the last two elections. I have a wake up call for the DNC – they should be trying to run against JohnMcCain.

John McCain

Pro Life
Pro Military
Love of this country (USA)

"August 5th, 2008 10:48 am ET

I am so proud right now! So proud of the Democratic Party! Thank you for fighting for our country. Thank you for learning from 2000 and 2004."

What did the DNC learn from 2000 and 2004? That they weren't nasty, mean-spirited, and divisive enough? How could anyone be proud of either party?

Hey CNN, where is the story on Bush and his letter about the FALSE claims of WBD's? Bush and BOBBLEHEAD Cheney are liars and it's obvious. Where is the story CNN?

This "oil" war should have never been authorized!

Well, if the RNC or the McCain camp has a need to do itself in ,they should put Romney up as VP. After all ,McCain has alot in common with Romney/Morman Church history......McCain drafted the bill that the Morman church worked on for so long,(recieved $ for),that Pres. Clinton signedin 1997, removing at gun point women,children,elders of the Navajo Nation to a toxic dump ,(2nd only to Cheranobal), so that "they" could get their land to dig up and ruin for Peabody coal.........They should get along realy well.......Oh, all the people that have suffered/died......in the USA......it was put on video and shown to world leaders at the UN..........way to go ....such concern for people/health/life...........
People think it odd that he didn't want to vote for improvements for all military/school/housing/health....he does NOT care......................

The democrats want to elect a junior senator with no experience at anything, all kind of racist/radical connections, and they have the nerve to criticize. Unbelievable.

Yes, the DNC is desperate. They keep sending me mailings and calling me wanting money. I keep telling them I'm not a Democrat any more and please take my name off your mailing/calling lists, but they keep calling anyway. There are millions of us moderate Democrats (now Independents) out there who will not be voting for Obama!

Maybe the DNC should look at their approval rating in Congress, this will have more of an effect on the election then this website. Can't wait for McCain to pick Colin Powell, wonder how the DNC will react to him. Obama better go pick H. Clinton as his VP, that's the only way he'll have a chance at winning this election, course didn't she say he was un-fit to lead?

McCain '08

in seeing that mccain actually has 44% in the polls, i've come to the conclusion that the conservatives in this country do not learn their lesson very easily. We should just give McCain the presidency, let him pillage us a little further: the conservatives need to be taught a lesson, and they won't learn it by nothing going wrong because a liberal was elected. They will only learn it with conservatives in power so long, making everyone so poor we have to eat each other.

with 44% of this country still retarded, i say that's far too many retards – let it all burn, give mccain the presidency on general principle.

So, the Republicans consider the prospects of another Cheney an unfair scare tactic. That just shows how truly scary this administration has been and that even Republicans find prospects of another one like it even more chilling.

Hey Timber please read the article and comprehend it. This site is funded by the DNC not Barack Obama's campaign.
There is no desperation for this Independent who is voting for Obama, the odor of desperation is reaking from the McCain camp and their low road express.
They lost me when they went negative. I never liked Bush or Rove and thought the Maverick would be different but he's NOT! Just the same old tired slinging mud crap from the past based on lies and false claims. McCain enough already with the Rove crap!
look at the polls it has already stopped, you started the neg garbage and climbed up to within 1 point for 1 day and now you back down by 3. You are only hurting yourself but I'm sure as predictable as the Republicans always are you will keep the mud slinging up, SO SAD.

I thought Democrats were against preemptive strikes?

So McCain gets blasted for the Celebrity ad, but this is ok with Obama? Granted it's a DNC operation so he technically doesn't have control of it, but where is he decrying all this "negative campaigning" when it's his side who is doing it.

For better or worse, neither side has come through on their promise to wage a more civil campaign. "Change we can believe in"... unless it's politically convenient to attack our opponent... for a decision he hasn't even made yet!

Sadly, the O-DNC has chosen yet another can’t-win candidate. What is different this time around is that from a field of possible nominees, they have chosen, against the will of voters, the most divisive and flawed candidate to “lead” the Democratic Party. There is good reason that the O-DNC is waging an “unprecedented Web war”, because they are fighting for the very survival of the party.

With poll number showing that Mr. Obama and Mr. McCain are running virtually neck and neck, the O-DNC is worried and suffering terrible buyer’s remorse. With continuing questions about Mr. Obama’s leadership abilities and inability to stick to a position on any issue, it has become clear that Mr. Obama was the wrong choice.

Mr. McCain’s AND Mr. Obama’s VP lists both contain individuals who are not only highly qualified to be VP but who are also much more qualified to be President than Mr. Obama. It is rather a dangerous ploy for the O-DNC to begin questioning qualified persons considering the complete lack of qualifications of their Presidential nominee. Continually trying to divert attention away from the questions about Mr. Obama will not help them win this election.

Who are all these idiots that would vote Republican after the last 8 years with the current administration.

I love John Kerry's comments about McCain being dangerous. Are you KIDDING ME? Danger is electing a young black man based on his race, not his experience. Danger is electing a charismatic candidate for president that does not respect our flag and refuses to wear one on his lapel except when it becomes politically expedient and whose own wife and pastor that he loves profess to have strong anti-white feelings and anti-American views.

We allow ourselves to be stripped of the Right to pray at school functions and in school, we have the 10 Commandments removed from government places and are told we cannot pray in school all the while providing public prayer places for Muslims?

We should be afraid, very afraid because our apathy is leading us to
Perdition. It is time for all Christian Americans to raise the battle cry and take our nation back.

Check out your American money that you love so much sometime – IN GOD WE TRUST! Or have we forgotten?

The dnc are liars.

Cheney is absolutely evil and since he is not invited to the convention, maybe he could be brought to the Hague and answer for his war crimes and his monumental crimes against humanity!

The GOP is the party of Bush and Cheney...especially Cheney. No man embodies the spirit of the modern republican more than the ex-Halliburton CEO. That's why the Dems will win national, state and local races in a landslide this fall.

Fantastic site!

Hey grandpa you say that Obama has not done anything about the energy crisis nor has no plans. Yet you say that this crisis has been 30 years in the making right? What have you done in the last 25+ years while in congress? Now that you are running it is NOW a issue....I hope that you enjoyed that Bush has raised money for your campaign recently...So much as not being wanting to have anything to do with him..McBush!!!!!!!!!!! You can't fool the people again...Take your $million from the OIL companies and retire from congress. Afterall Cindy has enough money to take care of you...

they are the same. coruption-corruption i agree. change the name of Washington, D.C. to corruption city

McCain / Clinton '08 ... unbeatable.

"President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney may be keeping a low profile this campaign season while they’re approval ratings are at historic lows".................So does this mean that we were foolish enough to believe McBush honestly distant himself from Bush and administration, their policies and their desperate want to continue their agenda through McBush 3? Also this only proves that they are still very much daily shadowed with each other out of the reporters and media reach. After hours socially connected, same political policies agenda for the next four years.

NOW we see clearly behind the old man smile, empty suit, empty jeans and shirts (a look for votes appeal, after wards back to the suits), empty town hall speeches and IOU's owed to those who are suppose to be distant................SECRETS always shows it’s truth. The voters who was blind, can see the real reason McBush is being called the 3rd term for Bush. Another four years of the same old rich to rich, buddy to buddy and distant friends during the campaign fool you tactics as always. The same McBush 3rd, same old policies agenda for the next four years.........thank goodness, our blinders are removed before November...Yep, he's experienced, long enough to be molded into the perfect mold

Obama 08

From a former Clinton supporter- Obama and his unsrupulous hit dogs are about as nasty as you can get. Good luck McCain.

Good to hear that the dems are proactive. I think that they will be doing lots more in the months to come. They usually wait till late August – early November to really begin to rev-up the attack machine. They have to begin to really attack McCain where it hurts. Make the guy look like an out of touch old fart who is really a pawn for the Republican Party. McCain is being pushed because the current administration is afraid of a Dem in the White House because all the illegal, unethical stuff that the Bush Administration did will be investigated and lots of people called to testify before congress. You mark my words. The Bush administration is probably shredding important evidence (WH correspondence) as we speak.
So... go Dems!!! - vet the VPs in public! LOL confuse them. And don't make your choice public at all...

Where is the Change? Where is the Democrat love?

Don't challenge the ideas, attack the person. Democrats! Run for something and not against something!

I think it is really funny the way the Democrates keep talking about PRESIDENT Bush's 30% approval rating, when the approval rating of the Democratic lead Congress is only 19%.
I also think it is funny how they have some sort of Web war waged against the Republicans. Only Democrates are reading the crap on their own silly web sites. Republicans could care less and the independents focus only on articles that quote exactly what the canditates say, word for word, not chopped up or twisted. Or they watch live or replays of footage of canditates speeches or interviews. That is the only way for a independent thinking person to know where they really stand. Only a fool would pay any attention to what Obama says McCain said or stands for and vice versa.
The independents will decide for McCain in 08!

talk about how much better their pick would be

but they can't

could the RNC run adds that would highlight Obama's VP as the next jerk to crush the economy

We do not need anymore "Darthveder's" in Washington! America has been sold down the river enough!!! McCain has been part of this awful mess for over 26 years!!! Time for NEW experience in Washington!!!

I am scared to death of the OLD!!! I'm in my 60's, a republican for over 50 years and NO MORE republicans in Washington! We need a new change if America is to survive and my grandchildren are not thrown into a draft in stuck in the middle east for the rest of their lives!!!
Peace is Patriotic!!! Go Obama!!

Any of those listed by NOBAMA would make a better President than him.

He is a panderer.

NOBAMA is a NOVELTY being used by the left. How SAD!

The DNC needs New Leadership! -A Democrat

Good to hear that the dems are proactive. I think that they will be doing lots more in the months to come.

Beautiful! Go get em! We know the righties can dish it out but like most bullies, they cry and retreat when attacked.

Democrats be aware of Republicans' tactics
They are willing to do anything to win in Nov even though all they have to offer is 4 more years of George Jerk Bush !

the time has come to start campaigning aggressively against them, don't let them bring us down. It's time to start running ads showing there's no big differences between McBush and Bush, so far I don't see any major ads linking both of them. Believe me it's a monumental mistake. I am growing concerned about how this race is getting close as far as polls are concerned

CNN why don't you mention that kerry wanted mccain as his vp in 2004?!?!?!?

Mccain does NOT equal bush..he is an independent!

May the "Real" President sign in please.We all know whoever gets the VP slot is the real President now dont we kiddies.Why not the fat lying cherub himself,Rush Limbaugh,hes good at leading the mindless.

More politics of fear from the democrats.

desperation indeed.

No Dragon Lady,
We're not desperate, we're tired of the same old tricks of the Greedy Old Party, the GOP.

Liberals will say the dems are spreading the "truth"

Then complain the republicans are using scare tactics, and possibly even throw a little race baiting in there-

I'm not affiliated with any party- i renounced by affiliation with the Republican party last week-

I hate the Republicans and Democrats evenly- they both suck and pander to special interests, and only care about getting elected again.

EFF 'Em

the GOP doesn't use scare tactics in their campaigns do they..........?

Um if you're not afraid of another Bush/Cheney combo you're clearly a brainwashed right-wing nut.

Obama '08

Good, let's keep this butcher at the forefront of the campaign. He and his flunky Bush ruined our country. He's a traitor and should be hog tied.

Huckabee as VP is McCain's only chance of winning. If he picks another grim-reaper Conservative whose proposals only further enrich the rich, then he is doomed. Even Conservative voters are catching on that Conservatism is making life worse for ordinary Americans. Huckabee is the ONLY one of the Republican candidates who gives a rat's posterior about Americans with a net worth below a million bucks.

Has anyone heard about the large oil donations McCain received after he flipped on offshore oil drilling? Who's in the pocket of big oil?

obama is the most dangerous man alive. You people have no idea what this madman has in store for this country. He will get us in a war we will never be able to get out of because he will destroyed our military. Large companies will leave this country because they will not allow obama to tax them out of business or run a stupid labor union in on them. Small business will close their doors or go bankrupt because they too will not be able to pay these taxes he plans to impose.
Young college students need to be very careful and know what they are getting if they vote for this man. You spend all this time in school,educating yourself, get the best job you can find, start paying off any student loans and just when you think everything is going well, you find yourself being taxed to death. That's what democrats to and that is ESPECIALLY what obama will do.
He talks about giving everyone a $1000.00 and a chicken in every pot.Well, where do you think that money is coming from. Take a closer look at the REAL profit of the major oil companies. After all the taxes and unmentioned cost, their profit is right in line with any other corporation in this country. God people,you've got to be smart. obama is a socialist and he is wrong. He's faking it. But democrates want power so bad no one will tell you the truth. Hillary Clinton couldn't and can't tell you the truth because she'd be out of a job and out of a party faster than obama can tell a lie. Obama plays dirty and he's really good at clearing the field but our country is too important to let this happen.Please think before you vote. But I fear this election is rigged and we don't stand a chance.

so this is the "new kind of politics" obama was going to bring us..
it's amazing anyone actually thought obama was anything other than a typical huckster politician

GOOD IDEA, THIS HELPS TO CONTROL THE REPUBLICANS RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE.

OBAMA.........08

Don't make the same mistake that you've made the last eight years. Vote Democrats because another eight years of war and boom-to-bust will kill our country

The DNC can do whatever they deem right to market their flawed candidate as long as when the RNC reciprocates, they should not run around crying racism and negativity. Every action commands a reaction and I hope they can take it.

the entire GOP is infested with corruption.

The DNC has a lot of work to do. Let's see if this 50 state strategy works. This is the real test... If it works, Howard Dean is a genius.

Whats Obama going to do when the RNC come out with Tony Rezko, Austan Goolsbee, William Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Louis Farrakhan and Jeremiah Wright. ..Obama and his campaign have opened up a can of worms that i really don't think they want to deal with at this point in the race....This i think is going to back fire on them because the American people are not going to see this very funny when they are losing their homes and the high gas prices....How can the American people take Obama seriously if he thinks the being The President Of The United States is a big joke....And Obama isn't doing so well in the polls either.....

Good for DNC. Let's put the republicans on the defensive, they've been playing loose and free with their tactics now let them start answering up.

A lot of interesting info there.

It Doesnt Matter Who Mccain Chooses! He Is Never Going To Be The President!

With a little luck.... McJealous will need the toothfairy because it's not going to happen!

YIPPIE! I am so gla the DNC is starting to hit back HARD at the RNC and the McNeedsaCane campaign!

Not thids year....NOT THIS ELECTION!

GO BAMA...I LOVE YOU

McCain is a Republican through and through....he can try to hide it, but the American people can see right through him. The daunting task we have ahead of us is demonstrating how flawed the Republican platform is. They have ruined our economy, environment, military, education system, healthcare system, global reputation, national security, and justice system. No one seems outraged that we are losing our status as a world power. All because of Bush/Cheney.....and lackeys like McCain.

Vote for a smart President this time!
Vote for a President who will put this county's interest first!
Vote Barack Obama in 2008

We can start one for Obama and call it the next Jimmy Carter.com or which racist will next appear as obamas friend.com and finally my favorite Throw them under the bus .com.

Oh yeah, Tim " the Tax Man" Kaine is a great choice for Mr. Obama. Fits right in with the Socialist agenda, anyways.

WHY DID THE GAS PRICES WENT UP SO HIGH?

1. Major factor is 8 YEARS of REPUBLICAN Rule made the dollar so weak against other currencies, so the price of oil went up against a weekening dollar. You might now notice that if the dollar goes up by a dime, oil prices drops by 3 dollars a barrel.

2. As George Bush took the charge he changed the long standing policy on oil trading on the wall street. Wallstreet were not allowed to speculate on oil unless they are planning to use oil. Bush reversed the position and allowed speculation on this. Billion dollar pension funds like California pension funds started buying oil on paper and thus creating a artificial demand for oil which is in no way related to the actual demand. The resulted increase in gas prices are the cause of increase in the food and milk prices which is affecting common people like us

These 2 are the major factors in increasing the demand. It is NOT demand from INDIA and CHINA. That is bull**. So drilling more is not the answer to this crisis, that is what McCain and Republicans are trying to make it to. I think Obama is trying to address it and Republicans are trying to portrait him a fool for doing this.

Please, CNN please publish this. This is fact. You can go back to the first years of Bush presidency and see that how they changed our strong dollar policy so that they could improve the ex[ports. It is the no vision policy of this administration that put us in this big mess.
you need somebody outside from the oil party to get us Out.

NO MORE REPUBLICANS IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!!!

**********************************************

YOU KNOW THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION IS THE WORST THAT'S EVER BEEN IS WHEN IT'S PARTIES PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE DOESN'T WANT TO BE SEEN WITH THE PRESIDENT NOR THE VICE PRESIDENT GETTING INVITED IN THEIR CONVENTION.

BUT STILL THEY PUSH THE SAME AGENDA/PLAN. THINKING THE OUTCOME'S GOING TO CHANGE.

SO THAT LEAVES THEM WITH NO OPTION BUT TO RIDICULE AND CRITICISE THEIR OPPOSITION.

STOP THE MADNESS. VOTE OBAMA.

amen! spread the truth. they've all got ahold of eachother's purse strings. corruption, corruption, corruption.

Democrats ARE GETTING DESPERATE !

Obama scare tactics! Was he not accusing McCain of doing the same thing just yesterday? I guess it is "Do as I say, not as I do" with Obama.

Aww, I hold the DNC in such high regard. They've been a wonderful organization this year, run like a well-oiled machine. This is just another masterful tactic out of their playbook. Let me go get one of their postage paid envelopes and put a stamp on it so I don't cost them money (as it requests right on the envelope) and send them a donation to help with this. Do you think they accept Puma Dollars?

I would vote for any of those men on the ticket with McCain over anyone that Obama will pick. Special thanks to the DNC for some vetting.

McCain '08

I am so proud right now! So proud of the Democratic Party! Thank you for fighting for our country. Thank you for learning from 2000 and 2004.

OBAMA08

Right on the button!

Every member of the DNC should be very ashamed of him- or herself for what they did to our core principles of democracy by advancing this neophyte who has no record to prove that he IS what he says he is (pretty rhetoric is just pretty rhetoric, and Obama's been flinging it masterfully to fool you all).

As members of PUMA PAC are now learning:

Darragh Murphy, the ineffective, if not petty and apparently corrupt treasurer of PUMA PAC, should be ashamed of herself, too... (but just a little bit)

Knoxville Puma

After putting the works to Hillary, I think the DNC had better worry more about the Democrats because here is one Democrat that is not voting for Barrack and yes, I'm not a racist.

The most repugant of the whole list is Mitt Romney. Didn't he tie his dog to the back of his car last spring? He is so fake and slick, he will probably be the one mcliar picks, because he's a liar too.

Mcwar better watch his back though, because mitt doesn't like or respect him.

It's about time the DNC fired back at the evil repuglicans! Keep up the great work and although I know you guys could never sink as low as them this is a start!

But who's really out of touch? The Bush Administration estimates that expanded offshore drilling could increase oil production by 200,000 bbl. per day by 2030. We use about 20 million bbl. per day, so that would meet about 1% of our demand two decades from now. Meanwhile, efficiency experts say that keeping tires inflated can improve gas mileage 3%, and regular maintenance can add another 4%. Many drivers already follow their advice, but if everyone did, we could immediately reduce demand several percentage points. In other words: Obama is right.

Go ahead McCain, pick Fiorina, I dare ya.

Fired for mismanaging HP, no foreign policy experience at all. Why is her name even ON this list?

No matter how hard they try, McWar will not be able to distance himself from the current crimainal in office!!!!!

We need to get people regestered to vote, everyone should make a commitment to at least register 10 people. Time to put your time and money where your mouth is. I have regestered 17 new voters, lets move people.

We have to save America from another 4 years of GOP garbage.

Obama 08/12
