LMAO!!! McCain can't use a computer and he's calling Obama out of touch??? That's hysterical!

It boggles my mind that people in an industry that will be negatively impacted by an Obama presidency would contribute to his campaign. Then again, it boggles my mind that Americans would so willingly vote for socialism! If Obama is elected, it will be verified that Americans are IDIOTS!

Taxes should be flat across the board. A progressive tax system is at the heart of socialism. It will be a complete and utter disgrace if Obama is elected.

There is no reason to penalize those who are successful with a higher tax rate only to redistribute the money to people who don't care enough about themselves to GET A JOB!! It shouldn't be easy and "fun" to be poor; there needs to be an incentive to pulling yourself out from the bottom.

So a guy who earned his way through college on loans and scholarships and made his own path to where he is is out of touch?

Might I remind some that he only recently joined the millionaires club through book sales. He didn't marry or be born into money like some others.

Obama, hit em back and hit em hard for trying to fool the people for the third time this decade.

If the media would do its job, then McCain wouldn't even have to
air these ads.

When will the media start to vet Obama?

Mc Cain is right Obama doesn’t know how many states in this country
Hillary 08

Sen. Obama I am going to vote for you no matter what. But please, please, please don't let Grandpa Munster keep hitting you with these outrageous lies and not fight back! It is too important to the country that you be elected and like it or not, there are a lot of people out there who believe this crap the McCain campaign is generating.

You have a positive message for the future while McCain reiterates the same old tired junk we have put up with for years! Enough is enough!

McCain has chosen the Bush strategy of telling people he should be elected because he's nothing special?

I'm convinced.

This is McCain's way of avoiding real issues, which he knows nothing about, so he continues his none newsworthy attack ads. Wait until the debates come and watch McCain fold like a house of cards. The GOP knows McCain is no debate match with Obama and these ads are proof they are running scared.

These ads are offensive and disregard the truth. It shows that McCain, like George Bush, will go to any lengths to SCARE the American public. All of this coming from someone who promised a civil and honest campaign. This is out of control and if he wins this election it will show that our country is in serious trouble. John McCain is not telling us what he is going to do, instead he is running shameless ads. This just shows the kind of values and morals that our "Maverick" really has. I don't understand how anyone, regardless of their political preference, can think ads like this are beneficial to the American public. He is beyond hypocritical and should be ashamed. Presidential candidates should act like role models.
Hey kids if you are ever scared you might lose, call your opponent a liar and paint him to look like a monster, oh and be sure to really scare the publics who you rely on, that will help you to victory. Give me a break . Wake up.

Lynn, your attacks on Obama have no basis in fact. You said he's a flip-flopper. What has he flip-flopped on? I can tell you *factually* that McCain said he'd cut taxes, then raise them, then cut them, then raise them NUMEROUS times. I can tell you *factually* that McCain worked (real hard) to block MLK being a holiday in Arizona, then changed his mind (once he started running for president, surprise, surprise). I can tell you *factually* that he was against off-shore drilling and is now for it (even though he admitted it wouldn't help). I can tell you *factually* that he mixed up shiites and sunnis. I can tell you *factually* that he had no idea that Czechoslovakia doesn't even exist anymore.

Obama a stutterer? Right! That's funny. Next you'll tell me that McCain is an eloquent speaker like James Earl Jones, right? Obama corrupt? Right McCain is morally beyond reproach. Like when he was cheating on his first wife with his current one, dump her and married the second one a month later, right? Lying? Honestly, back up your statements with instances. It's easy to sling mud when you don't back them up with facts. Self-annointed Messiah? All I can say is jealousy is not a good thing!

So the son of an admiral who went to one of the most exclusive colleges in the country, served as an officer in the Navy, served in the senate for 26 years, married into a $100 million beer fortune, wears $500 Farragamo loafers, has and spend literally every day of his life enjoying benefits provided by the federal government is one of "us."

The guy who was raised by a single parent, at times on food stamps, worked his way through public schools into two of the most prestigious universities in the world, worked to organize poor people, married another self-made person from the South Side of Chicago, and just recently paid off his student loans, is the elitist.

Does that cover it?

I can't wait for mcshames wife to compete in the biker beauty contest. Just think, he's willing to sell another wife down the river for his political ambitions. Watch the polls really open up in October. People want substance and not the same old bs, we've had for the last 8 years. He says humour, his commercials are not humorous, they are racist. No one is willing to keep jumping on him. The old white haired, wrinkly faced dude! Will get his comeuppance soon!

The problem with these ' Celebrity' ads is once again, it fails to high light McCain's blue print for America. There is no contrast in the ad, which leaves many americans to be think, what is McCain strategy from for America?

Count on the GOP to tell a big lie just as Obama is taking a vacation with his family ... McCain is a coward.

Team Obama, counter attack McCain as a liar ... have some common Americans, in plaids shirts with a souther drawl ... use that phase .... LIAR .... in the commercial.

Repaint the bus changing the name from the straight talk express to the "I mispoke express". That's subtle enough for most folks to know that you are politely calling him a LIAR.

The truth is that if you make less that $150,000 per year, your Taxes WILL GO DOWN under an Obama Administration.

if you make over $250,000 per year, your income taxes will increase slightly ... I'm OK with that ... we've got to pay for this stupid war until the Democrats get control of spending from this Republican President and his 6 years of a Republican Congress.

If you make between $150,000 and $250,000 your taxes will not change.

How's that for straight talk, you LIAR?!!

Yeah, times are really tough for John McCain and HIS PRIVATE PLANE. Sheesh.

Given that McCain is demonstrably sexist, and rather extremely so, I can't possibly understand what would motivate a former Clinton supporter to say that they're going to vote for him. Voter for Barr, vote for Nader, not vote at all, these I can see. Can there any reason other than petulance or racism to vote for somebody who not only doesn't agree with you, but is the antithesis of all your political positions on gender and equality?

"If Obama gets the nomination, I'm going to vote for the candidate who left his first wife after she was disfigured in a car accident, who pimped his current wife out to a crowd of bikers, and who voted against equal wages for women! That makes perfect sense!"

Explain this to me! Please! It's like a Christian voting for a Satanist over a pastor because the pastor is a Presbyterian instead of a Lutheran. There is no sense or reason to it, is there?

Obama is not out of touch; he is just to inexperienced and therefore scary to see at the helm of the United States. He is also too liberal, which is something that is getting lost in all the garbage flying around. He has the most liberal voting record in the Senate. He is for increasing social type programs, which equals more taxes. On second thought maybe he is out of touch.

In regard to Pawlenty's advice, I think the Republican camp should scout around for intelligent college students to answer the SOS call from this ship which is adrift in the Doldrums.

Out of touch? Here is someone who admits that he doesn't know too much about the enomony and he's saying Obama is out of touch????

So Hillary Supporters let me ask you this. If she all of a sudden became the nominee. How do you think the 18 million Obama supporters would feel?

My point exactly

L

I think everyone should come to wonderful Illinois to see the land of the Messiah. It's full of rainbows and lollipop fields, where "change" happens every time Obama "moves" his point of view.

If Obama is "out of touch," what does that make McCain? He certainly isn't "hip."

"The truth will make you free" GOD

It seems the average age of the Obama supporters on here is 19. I guess with college out until the end of the month, the Kos kiddies have extra time on their hands.

You know McCain is being effective when all the Obamabots start screaming about not being able to take another "negative ad". For one, I love the ads because they speak the truth. I think McCain should revive the "3 AM phone call" commercial, but he seems to be doing fine on his own for now.

according to the non-partisan Tax Policy Center's analysis of both candidates' plans, by 2009, under Obama's plan, those making $37,595 would see an average increase in their income of 3.6%, or a tax cut of $892; those making an average of $66,354, would see an increase in their income of 2.4%, or a tax cut of $1,042.

On the other hand, Under McCain's plan, those making $37,595, would see an increase in their income of only about 0.5%, or $113 tax cut; those making $66,354, would see only an increase of 0.7% in their income, or a tax break of $319.

The McCain campaign is simply relying on the GOP base's long history of believing lies and disregarding facts. This is the number one tactic in their play book – and their school of governance as well, sadly.

WHAT A BUNCH OF LOSERS!

Maverick – my foot- you aint – You are a dumb head
The ad set off a flurry of retractions. Kerry described it as desperate: "The real question is what happened to the John McCain we used to know and why he changed overnight into a George Bush nominee with a Karl Rove campaign."

Biden said it was "unfortunate" McCain had "changed so much in just eight years." Dean contended the McCain of 2000 would not "consider voting for the John McCain of 2008."

Within hours, the DNC struck back with its own video montage of fresh quotes from the same Democrats criticizing McCain this year. The title of the ad? "Maverick no more."

I thought I could be NICE!!!

But ............the Republicans and A'ole McCAin are IGNORANT LOWDOWN ABsolutely DESPICKABLE SCUM.

Get a life You'll and let Obama lead us back to being 1st World COuntry instead of the Rebubllicans pulling us to being 4th World Country.

YOu Obamabots seem to be missing a very important point. McCains ad doesn't say Obama's campaign tax plan will raise taxes on people who make 42k. It says he has already VOTED to raise taxes on people making $42k or more, as a senator earlier this year.

This highlights the hypocracy of Obama. He says:

He won't raise taxes on most people, yet he has in the past.
He's pro 2nd amendment – yet he used to work for a group who's goal was to ban handguns.
Claims he's always been against the war, but he hasn't.
He would take public financing for the general election, now he won't.
He couldn't throw his pastor under the bus, then he did.
Florida and Michigan votes shouldn't count, now they should.
etc. and so on. The list is really endless.

OBAMA LIES!

Remind me again...

Which one of these two guys has hosted SNL?

Which one of these two guys had a made-for-tv movie about him made?

Which one of these two guys has made numerous appearances on late night tv shows?

Oh yeah, now I remember, it was John McCain. Give me a break.

I am so done with john Mccain
to be the oldest man running for president he certainly the biggest child.
This is not campigning.
This is desperation at it's best,and whatever decent feelings I may have had for ol'Johnny boy is gone.
I want the person who shows more maturity to issues at hand such as my food bill and my gas tank, and getting my son out of Iraq.
Mcain and his republicans are enjoying this ridiculous behavior.
It's a sad time in american history to have the stupid politics going on again and some clueless people actually fall for it.
I wish people would truly think about how we will afford to pay all of our bills if the republicans win this because keeping the tax cuts ,and this war has been devastating for the past 7 1/2 years, can we really afford for more.

Well don't blame McCain or his campaign for the witty and truthful adds. The media including CNN and Campbell Brown thats all she talks about on her show is Obama made him out to be a mockery and a joke now. Reading Obama's economic proposal on his website the only way it will work is for a tax increase for all of us not just on the rich. The best thing at the Dem. convention is to hear Bill Clinton speak again he is masterful at it with no telepromter, and Hillary who is not far behind him as a public speaker.

I was just talking to my bro.. We came to a conclusion, republicans: 80% lies, democrats: 80% truth... interesting isn't , both lie, but republicans take it into the gutter, its not even funny how untrue these ads are...

...and McCain is a USED TO BE....used to be a straighttalker, used to be a maverick, used to be able to be bipartisan, used to be against negative, smear campaigns...and now is in the hands of lobbyists and big corporations.

A news organization should not only report what the candidate is saying but also the accuracy...otherwise it is just a propaganda machine.

McCain ads do nothing to promote himself or his policies and only attack Obama's image. Time to get out of the past John and tell the people what you stand for in this election.

This election is a guage to just how intelligent the American people are or how gullible they are and the whole world is watching.

America's image may not matter to some of the less informed people because they can't imagine any other country being as great as the U.S. or for that matter if they are anything like the people who they elect president they likely won't know what other countries there are in the world.

An analysis by the Wisconsin Advertising Project found that over 90 percent of the ads Obama has aired in the last two months are positive, not mentioning McCain by name. Approximately a third of the McCain's are negative, drawing contrasts between himself and Obama.

Simply put, America has too many stupid people to be the world only super power. What I have learned from all this is that being big and being stong is what is needed to be a world super power. In short, might really does make right. Because I find it so strange that a candidate like McCain with absolutely no ideas can compete against a candidate with so many new and brilliant ideas. It makes absolutely no sense. It just shows how stupid so many American people are.

Of course America has many smart people, but at the end of the day, the vast majority are basically ignorant ... and that is why Mccain has a good chance to win this election.

“Life in the spotlight must be grand, but for the rest of us times are tough,” <<

Oddly, the ad doesn't mention that "times are tough" because of 7.5+ years of abysmal Republican failures.

165 days till the end of the Bush administration.

Take courage and know that we are behind you Obama....the battle belongs to God!!!!

Lies lies lies lies. Is that all you're capable of McCain? Lies? I'm a registered independent who used to like McCain, but no more.

I love these adds McCain is putting out. He is finally starting to show a back bone and take charge. The new leadership in the campaign instituted last month is really starting to show it's strenght. Great job and lets keep it up. Some one has to show Obama for the elitist he really is since the Obama loving media certainly won't do it.

Oh, let me see now, who was it that appeared on the following televisions shows: "24", ESPN's Who's #1, Wedding Crashers, Ultimate Fighting Championship, "The Hanoi Hilton", hosted Saturday Night Live twice and marched through the talk show circuit over 100 time (thanks IMDB)? That would be pandering, Big Oil sponsored, flip-flopping "wrinkly white guy" whose only claim to fame was that he was a "Songbird" for the North Vietnamese.

McCain is reaching out to the people that don't read or research information for themselves. He is speaking to the same people that STILL believe Obama is muslim. Back woods, lazy and honestly oblivious to reality!!!! No more of the same John McCain!!!!

Obama '08

First off, if the media is going to run this ad for free over and over again like it's done all of the rest of McCain's silly ads, then they need to make sure to inform people that they are false. Obam does not want to raise taxes on people making less than $250K a year and his plan actually saves most people 3 times the amount in taxes than McCain's plan.

Also,
“Life in the spotlight must be grand, but for the rest of us times are tough,”

Rest of us???? McCain walks around with $500 shoes and he and his wife are worth over $100 million. He's far more out of the "us" category than Obama who just paid back student loans a coupel of years ago.

McCain is turning into the silliest little man to ever run for president.

Up until now, we still don't know a real Obama!

MCCAIN WILL PARDON BUSH ADMINISTRATION ,IF ELECTED.DON'T FORGET IT!I SAID IT FIRST!

A better headline for this piece would be something like "New McCain Attack Ad is Dishonest".

Haters, you can shove that comment up yours. Obama is not Osama and you are as ignorant as the school that taught you ( if you had any education)...Obama will win, hands down. The mood is change and obviously it is the old timers like you that prevents thet change we see in the country.

Obama 08' appreciate it don't disrespect it.

i think obama is probably the most 'in touch' presidential candidate,in recent history.at least he knows what a blackberry is.[not the fruit]as far as being a celeb?well that's not under his control.his popularity with people,from all over the world,is much-needed ,right now,in the face of all the up and coming bush administration trials and hearings.

Why is it that McCain's ads can tell complete LIES about Obama and get away with it??? All the name calling doesn't make it true, comparing him to Bin Laden doesn't make it real, hopefully people will use their brains and get the real information from real sources, not fabricated smear ads. McCain has reduced himself to the lowest of the low which is the stamp of the republican party campaign style.

McCain and his cronies are jeoulous of Obama's success around the world, he's angry so many people like Obama and wish Obama to be the next US president. McCain WISHES he got a reception that Obama received overseas!! No one cares about McCain and he knows it. He's too old, clearly too angry, all about war, ignorant about the economy and stomping for big oil. McCain is a joke.

Obama '08/'12

What is Mc Cain's Plan for Fixing the Economy & Energy etc ... You GOP Supporters have No Idea ...

Wow...

McCain is so green with envy it's sickening

John McCain is a LIAR!!!

Obama by 10 points in my poll.My poll is just as good as any other poll I have never seen taken,at least I asked 20 people I know.

Out of touch? Let's see: McCain wears $500 pair of shoes to Obama's under $100 pair. Obama wears pants that are over 5 years old like me. Who is fooling whom here. McCain and the Repubs should take the tire gauges and check the hot air coming out of their mouth.

My take on this simple really. Unless obama start to attack right back with is own Ads, Mccain is going to beat him in November. Obama with all this money we have contributed, Why are you sitting on it? Attack Mcbush Now on TV not on the internet. You can do better than this. I'm for Obama now I might change if this Celeb thing sticks in my head. because thats all i see and Obama is not responding.

There are sure a lot of ignorant people out there who support McCain. And you know what, maybe you all deserve McCain in the White House. But don't come knocking on my car window, because your hungry and don't have a job, or come walking up to my car at the gas station, because your out of gas off the side of the road. Or cry because the government shipped your kid off to war to be killed.

Too bad the people who didn't support McCain will have to suffer these consequences as well.

ITS ALL A BIG LIE AND AMERICA LOVES LIES T HATS HOW WE GOT BUSH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait, Obama's out of touch, but a man who doesn't even know basic geography "is in touch"??? John, Czechoslovakia split up *15 years ago*. John, which countries border Pakistan? I'm not running for president and I can answer these very basic questions. And if you don't know, it's not hard to pick up an updated map and simply learn. The fact that on FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS (so there's NO WAY one can call it "misspeaking") he referred to "Czechoslovakia", a country that doesn't even exist anymore speaks volumes as to just how in touch Mr. McGoo is!

What about when he referred to GERMAN president Vladamir Putin? Any child taking 5th grade History knows that Putin is the president of Russia!

Let's see. He doesn't know which countries still exist and where any are located and he doesn't know who runs which country, but he's "in touch" and will solve so of the greatest challenges we've faced? This would make great comedy, but since there's a possibility this stumble-bum will be our next president, I'm not laughing!

McSame is McSilly....and McLiar too!!!!!!

It's amazing to me that McCain, a man born into wealth and privelege, can call Obama an elistist. Barack Obama was raised in a single parent household, attended public elementary schools and managed to get into Columbia and Yale without having to rely on legacy. Explain to me how that is elitist?
____

Obama did not attend public school. He went to a private school in Indonesia and then to a private school in Hawaii where he was given a "scholarship".

According to Columbia records, Obama was admitted despite thirteen Whites, seven Asians and six Hispanics having better grades and being more qualified.

According to admissions official Michael McHenry, “We were pressured to have Africans attend our university to get more government funds. He (Obama) was obviously unqualified but we needed the funds from the government.”

The media should stop covering such a childish ad of mccain.When some takes his own policy as best to beat in the world like mccain does it means he has nothing to offer.Stop talking about somebody's plan and policy and say more about yourself.If you keeps talking about Obama every 10 seconds of your speech in your town hall meetings,You are not giving us chance to you rather you are pushig americans to know more about obama not you(maybe you are worst than him).

Yes, there’s a qualitative difference between Obama’s ads and McCain’s. The Republican’s attacks are personal and character focused; Obama’s are focused on policy. If Obama wanted to get a little dirtier, he could alert voters to McCain’s role in the Keating Five scandal, his extravagant and ostentatious wealth, his scandalous personal life and record of adultery, and McCain’s status as a septuagenarian. Obama is apparently reluctant to pursue this, and I’m not especially surprised.
High Road versus low scum.
America -elect a decent, smart, fresh man for WH.
You have seen the solo performance on the world stage and have seen the joint commanding performance on the domestic stage.
No drama just vote OBAMA.

wait a minute, some Hill supporters now want Hillary to 'be nominated' at the convention. U mean, with a crown and scepter ?

and it was these very same supporters who said that Obama was Selected and not elected.

Pumorons, u cannot have it both ways.

I read through these comments and I am appalled but not surprised to see how quickly and easily you people adopt your chosen candidates' language regarding the other. McCain says Obama thinks he's a messiah, and you call Obama a messiah. Obama says republicans are ignorant, and you call republicans ignorant. I wonder if you even realise the degree to which you parrot these candidates' propaganda. Don't you understand that these men are laughing in your faces with each of these ads? Don't you see how easily they influence and control you? ...You think this is democracy?

McRove truly embodies the Republicans' new slogan:
REPUBLICANS: PRIDE IN IGNORANCE

I sorely miss Tim Russert and his ability to disrobe charlatans like Obama. No matter that the medium is bent on lack of in depth examination of Obama, choosing instead to promote his celebrity status, at the end of the day reasonable voters vote in the privacy of the voting booth remembering all this.

It's no wonder Mr. Obama won't go near Fox News, he knows serious questions await him.

Mr. Turner, this spectacle you sell as journalism is a farce, it should be named ENN, the Entertainment News Network

It is time for Obama and the DNC to start attacking McCain for what he is which is a lying sleezeball who cheated on and left his wife, and was invoved in the Keating 5 scandal.

You can smell the stench of desperation in the morning.

There is some truth to this ad. A little embellished, but Obama has supported tax raises on everyone to give to those who don't work.

From the party who hates to govern – and pretty much everything else, too – High School politics, GOP style.

Are you kidding? What happened to the issues, GOP? Huh?? Huh???

Alice in Florida:

You are as dumb as the Republicans! Read Obama's tax plan and juxtapose it with McCain's. Obama begins to tax only folks who make over $250k period. Use your brains and not Republican propaganda machine. They said same of Pres. Clinton's tax plan, which is very similar (if not the same) with Obama's.

When will we know what McCain stands for. Those supporting McCain in these comments only focus on Obama's so called unsubstantiated 'deficiencies' rather than on what McCain has to offer.

Voting records of candidates and TAXES are issues folks–stating facts isn't mud-slinging–it's politics.

Am I still a republican??? – you sir are an enlightened thinker.

I just want to get this right. McCain whole argument is he is too well liked and popular to be president. And you are letting a man standing in $500 pair of shoes, withsix houses and a wife who uses jets like taxi cabs tell you the community activist is out of touch.

Just a month ago McCain told a woman whose community is loosing 8000 jobs because of the lobbyist work of his campaign manager, that he did not see the human side of it until she spoke to him. McCain has no clue about everyday suffering. Obama turned down Corporate America to go and work along struggle Americans everyday and fight for jobs for his community. But that work doesn’t count because that was a predominately black community and it does not mean Obama will fight for poor white people.

While McCain said give more money to corporate America and trust they will take care of you like they did when Bush gave them money so they would take care of you. And we know how well that has worked for you.

We are a bunch of idiots.

What happened to John 'straight talk' McCain. He is flat out lieing (I consider half truths lieing). How can they let this happen. How can John McCain allow the republican spin machine take control. He used to be against this kind of campaign. Its terrible. I'm am disappointed... again.

Enlightened Voter. Your pathetic rants against Hillary supporters are great. Go ahead an alienate 18 million Democratic voters. i'm sure the Obamite anti-hillary comments are much appreciated by the next Presdient, John McCain. You Dems are the New Endland Patriots of the political world. You can blow any lead.

To frank August 8th, 2008 10:58 am ET

You are absolutely right Frank!! This country is full of illegals that should be sent back to where they came from. The most aggregious offenders are all the illegal European "Americans" claiming to be Americans.

Frank is totally right and every one who cannot trace their ancestry back to this land before the arrival if the illegal immigrants from portugal crica 1492 or whenever the viking supposedly landed in Greenland needs to be deported back to their own countries!!

The nations that existed in these lands prior to 1492 did not give permission for the arrival of foreigners to their shores. Nor did the grant those foreigners the right to claim this as their land because they were born in the area. As Frank implies people do not have the right to migrate in search of a better life unless allowed to do so by the current residents where they are migrating too. RIGHT ON FRANK!!! I EXPECT EVERY EUROPEAN DECENDENT WHOSE ANCESTOR ARRIVED HERE WITH OUT PRIOR AUTHORIZATION TO BE DEPORTED IMMEDIATELY!!! ENJOY THE TRIP BACK TO EUROPE FRANK!! YOU WILL NOT BE MISSED!!!

I can't take Obama much longer. When are the MSM going to realize he is a sham? He has done nothing and promises everything.

And I guess I am now one of "those people". I will add that to my list of old, bitter, gun toting, uneducated.

PUMA

FIGHT THE SMEAR.COM: FACTCHECK.ORG!

THIS AD IS FALSE AND MISLEADING AND THERE ARE SOME FOOLS WHO ARE BUYING INTO McSHAME SMEAR CAMPAIGN!!!!!

FACTS: According to the non-partisan Tax Policy Center's analysis of both candidates' plans, by 2009, under Obama's plan, those making $37,595 would see an average increase in their income of 3.6%, or a tax cut of $892; those making an average of $66,354, would see an increase in their income of 2.4%, or a tax cut of $1,042.

On the other hand, Under McCain's plan, those making $37,595, would see an increase in their income of only about 0.5%, or $113 tax cut; those making $66,354, would see only an increase of 0.7% in their income, or a tax break of $319.

LET THE TRUTH GUIDE YOUR VOTE; NOT THE IGNORANCE THE McSAME CAMPAIGN IS SPOUTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary supports – Please get over it!
It's not about you or its not about Hillary. It's about America.
We need a democrat to fix the mess up.

McSame is definitely 4 more painful years of McBush.

Please, be sane and start supporting Barack.

If Hillary was the nominee we would not have to deal with this charade!

Lies and Lies and more revisionist lies! From $32 to $42? Can't even get your lying facts right huh? You must be a fool to fall for this crap.

An Antichrist Obama in McCain Ad?
We are in the 21st century and hate is still so real and alive in America and worst of all cowards are hiding behind religion to spread the hate.

Today is the only 08/08/08 you'll ever see in your life time.
Make your vote count in November so we can all have a better day on 09/09/09 a year and a month from today.

McCain is doing an excellent job. Tell it like it is....
The press won't, are they on the take too fo BO?
Just like the Sewerdelegates.

Same old line of lie. The best strategy he could come out is Lie here, Lie there, and Lie now.

Yeah I'm sure "time are tough" for McCain too with all of his second wife's beer money and his big senatorial salary! What joke! Let's talk about real issues instead of patriotism, popularity, and what the candidates are wearing. This election cycle sucks!

McCain is one Repub I used to have some respect for. He did seem to sell his sole after the 2000 election. Now he is growing increasingly confused and has difficulty answering 2 part questions. I believe his handlers are controlling everything and should he somehow get into the White House (God forbid), we will see less of him as his dementia becomes worse. His handlers (the Carl Roves) will be in control.

With McCain going to be another horrible & terrible 4-years like Bush-Dick fro mlast 8-years.

McCain did nothing last 8-years, McCain we all know you can't solve any issue, at least now talk on those REAL issues.

STOP POINTING, McCain is another Bush, doesn't take any responsibility.

The challenges that our nation faces is unprecedented. I want an intelligent president who's young and has fresh new ways of attacking problems. I don't want someone who's continued theme is, "Pick me. Why? Because the other guy is worse." Mind you, this is a guy who still thinks Czechoslovakia is a country! Good to see what 35 years of foreign policy experience gets you!

McCain's energy policy is offshore drilling which is a complete red herring and even he admitted it, then (what a surprised) changed his mind (and big oil responded by giving his campaign more money, of course)! It will take ten years before we ever see a drop and the amount that we'll get versus what we use every day is like spitting in the wind!

One more thing. For all of you Hillary zombies who say that Barack is "unelectable", the question is simple. How was he able to beat the human lie, a.k. Hillary Clinton? Stop talking about Florida and Michigan already! SHE agreed those states wouldn't count, then went against her word. She lost already. LOST!!! Get over it already!!!

You know what.....I do not care if someone raises my taxes. I am single and make ALOT. To help my country out of this mess I would rather pay NOW then have a USA in the future who is so weak that even TAXES won't help. Let us not forget where the foundations of all these Mega USA Corporations come from.............RIGHT HERE IN THE USA. Now that SO Many of Corporation's principle stockholders are off-shore ....the USA Corporation feels it owes the USA NOTHING... and moves off shore to make more money. Earnings is the buzz word now......however earnings used to be important when Corporations ACTUALLY paid Dividens. Now FEW pay dividens...their purpose is to push up stock values for trading on Wall Street...so that the rest of the world can make quick short term profits off of our pain. I would rather pay taxes.

Ah the politics of old. "When ever your opponent is more popular and has a better plan than you do, just lie about them long enough and soon the ignorant will be in your favor and they will be like puddy in your hands"

"The true enemy of war is war. The true enemy in an election, is ignorance. "

This deep and meaningful statement was brought to you by Kelby from Houston Texas

screw it, i'm moving to Canada.

The Republicans have developed the perfect system:

They have already convinced the sheep that the media is "liberal," except for Fox – they're fair and balanced.

They tell an outright lie, and people either believe it right away, or the media refutes it. But the media is full of lying liberals.

Genius.

Half the sheep believe whatever the GOP says, the other half believes it because they don't trust the liberal media.

HAHAHAHA someone please tell McCain something because this is just too easy for me. I mean these guys are unbelievable. I don't know what is more sad whether its that they're just saying this to get elected or that they truely believe the crap they say sometimes.

Why does the media allow McCain to continue to lie about Obama? Because when the race is kept close more people watch the news, and if the race became too lopsided, people would get bored and watch something else. Big media makes millions of dollars when their ratings go up. They now ignore McCain’s lies to keep the race close, just like the media did when they created the contest between Hillary and Obama. Watch carefully, when one candidate gets ahead the media turns against that candidate until he/she is behind. They then keep repeating this until election. The closer they can keep the race, the higher their ratings and the more money they make.

lynn, mike and gary can you tell the rest of us your direct line to post so you don't sit in moderation for weeks

In other words, Obama is POPULAR and he is ahead. I could have said the same thing about Ronald Reagan.

Thanks for agreeing with us McSame.

Obama 08

Yeah!!!!! McCflipl flop is in touch with his many side of the story. Mcflip flips will support you when he needs you vote, Mccflip flop is in touch when he pocket big oil money , Mccflip flip is in touch with his rich wife, Mccflip flop is in touch with bomb bomb Iran, McCflip flop is in touch with the economy when he said he has no idea about the economy, but now he is champion of everything, Johny, give us a break.
Drill drill ..............solution is not being touch, America can do better than drilling our land for nothing. Talk about what you know best...war war becuase you know "how to win wars" in touch.

Drill here drill there drill now. Of course McCain will drill everywhere in the country, destroy the land and it will not help the taste of our oil consumption.

McCain and those who think drilling here,there failed to realize is after drilling the country upside dwon it will only give us 3% of our consumption.

America consumed 25% oil the world oil, if McCain drill the country he will only find 3% of the oil.

25% -3%=22% dump a–s how does that help?

McCain and those who want to drill ofshore drilling should take 7 grader mathematical test.

Drill now , drill here , drill everywhere. McCain will

Employee democrats donated money to Obama and republican ceo donated to McCain there are differences between those 2 category.

Why no one can change your mind who to vote for, it is necessary to state the facts. becuase you have brain.

Alice from Florida,

Hillary Clinton is not the nominee of the Democratic Party. That is it, it's over and people need to stop making fools of themselves by suggesting otherwise. Hillary lost the primary ever since the Pennsylvania because she did not get the spread she needed to stay in the race. Her reason for staying in the race was to try to earn back her own money she invested by tricking weak minded people to donate their hard earned money to a losing campaign. The next reason she stayed in the race was to create problems for voters that did not support her by dividing the party with the false claim that the nonination was stolen from her. Hillary would not win in the fall because many of the 18 million voters were only trying to keep the race going own to destroy the chance of getting a democratic president. Who is to say they would support Hillary in the fall?

People who bought into the notion that the race was given to Obama should consider how much it would have been obvious if they had GIVEN it to Hillary. Just think, she needed hundreds of superdelegates while Obama needed only about twenty to complete his goals. He as ahead by every other legal count. The voters that voted for Sen. Obama are Americans as well and deserves to be respected. We are college educated people who range for ages 18 up. We are people of all races and religion. While there were many young voters and people of color, who are just as much as any one els, there were many people who were my age (45+) and above.

If you are better off now than you were eight years ago, vote for McCain to continue the trend for you. However, if things are not better for you, discount the BS put out by the McCain camp and vote for Obama for real change we all can believe in.

Obama 08!!!!!!!!

When the cat is away, the gutter rats will come out to play. McCain, the RNC, and supporters are just awful people.

Senator McCain’s constant attack strategy is simple really.

The need to describe in detail any relevant policies of your own isn’t necessary when you are preaching to a choir of Hillary Bigots and Puma Lepers.

More of the Rovian "fear, smear, mock" approach to repug campaigning tactics. Only thing is they have now expanded tactic to include outright "lies".

The new McLame campaign strategy has been upgraded to read:
"Fear – Smear – Mock and Lie!" every chance you get...

McCain is just out of touch – with reality like his pals Bush and Cheney. The real Three Stooges!

Shame on John McCain. Instead of shooting spitballs at Obama, he should spend his time trying to convince us that he has any clue about the challenges average Americans are facing. Personally, I don't think he has one iota of understanding about my life - he is culturally outdated, doesnt' use e-mail, doesn't take climate change seriously (for his children or mine), doesn't even acknowledge his wife's presence when she is in a room with him (I have yet to see a clip where they are appearing together when he even looks at her, i.e., respect for women), and doesn't have a clue about the difficulty of paying student loans, child care and health care today. Republican economic policies are dismal, self-serving failures and anyone who still can't see that needs to take a step back, remember the 90s and review the last 8 years. Now is the time when we can't afford to have anything but new and creative ideas, radical restructuring of existing programs and regulatory reform. McCain has been part of the problem and is incapable of being part of the solution.

If you make $0 to $20,000 you will save:
$567 under Obama
$19 under McCain

If you make $20,000 to $38,000 (about 40% of American households make less than $38,000) you will save
$892 under Obama
$113 under McCain

If you make $38,000 to $66,000 (note the median household income is $46,000 as of 2007, more than 2-thirds of Americans make less than $66,000), you, along with the vast majority of Americans will save,
$1,042 under Obama
$319 under McCain

If you make $66,000 to $112,000, along with about 87% of Americans who make less than $110,000, you will save
$1,290 under Obama
$1,009 under McCain

If you make $112,000 to $161,000 you will save
$2,204 under Obama
$2,614 under McCain

If make $161,000 to $227,000, putting you in at least the top ca. 6-7% of American households), you will save
$2,780 under Obama
$4,380 under McCain

If are at least among the top 2.5% and make between $227,000 to $603,000 you will pay $19 more under Obama and save $7,781 under McCain

If you are among the 1%, but not 0.1%, i.e. semi-rich (I usually use $1,000,000 per year as the cut-off for what I call "rich"), making $603,000 and $2,900,000 , you will pay $115,974 more under Obama and $45,361 under McCain

Finally, if you are super-rich, making $2,900,000 or more (only about 0.2%-0.1% of Americans do), you will pay $701,885 more under Obama and save $269, 364 under McCain (note that many in this group make far more than $2.9 million – the Fortune 400, for example, had an average income of $214 million in 2007)

Simply put, unless you are among the bottom 99.2%, you will pay less taxes, less so under Obama if you make less than $112,000 and about as much as under McCain if you are in the bottom 94% and make less than $161,000. If you make more than $603,000 you will pay more under Obama, but perhaps you have a concience and favor poverty relief, universal health care and a good education for everyone, and are thus willing to see the Bush tax cuts expire.

Another set of lies by the Republicans and McSlime. What happened to his being sorry yesterday for the way the campaign has bben going. The Republicans are just to stupid to believe we are going to fall for this crap again. Go ahead, waste your money. They just cannot talk the issues because they have no concept of what the issues are in this country.

Offwallst, you're just off!

Thanks for looking out for us Johnny! You're a true role model for all of us that aspire to marry millionaires and run up $500,000 a month credit card bills!

Please Please Please stop with Hillary on the ballot issues. If you are a democrat and believe in democratic ways you will put aside all this mess and support Obama. He is a good man, his policies are not that far off from Hillary's. He didn't do anything to her in the primaries that she didn't do to him so enough is enough. I am a white 50 year old woman and am embarrased by the way these women act. Yes it is time for the a female president and it will happen when the right woman runs. Stop playing the victim and get behind making this country great again.

(CNN please post this)

"Question:How many tires have to be over-inflated to make up for the fuel used in Obama's jet on the "I am a star" tour of Europe?"
Response: I don't know Faith; however, since McCain is such a straight talker, ask him how much fuel he saved using Cindy's jet.

McCain is lying. Obama's tax increase targets those that make over $250K. When will someone call McCain on his lies.

Poor pathetic people STILL believing in obama , even after all the flip-flopping! Maybe not smart enough to know he is pandering to get your poor, deluded votes ? Wake up people and realize he is a fraud, heck, even Paris Hilton has a better plan!

I have a question....
what is the role of journalists in our society?
if the Mccain camp can keep coming out with these lies and none of the so call Journalists have the balls to call them out on theme. so why do we have journalists for???

some body please answer me.

Apparently, McDummy didn't learn a thing from the Cohen/Tinker debacle...

I'm a 50 year republican who is now voting for Obama!!! Sick and tired of the republican party negativity and wars!!!! Lets take of the home land and its people first!!!! Obama will do this!!! McCain is also on the verg of dementia! Verg? He's full blown dementia!!

MSNBC is my favor news station because they are not bias CNN and FOX is the worst, McCain is awful with these lies, watch to see how many Republican switch over to vote for Obama MCSAME is just like Bush and Chiney lier

Obama needs to fight back. But he won't, he is too weak.

Hillary is the only one with the strengh and expeience to fight the Repulican smear machine.

I'ts not too late, Hillary in 08!!!

CNN – as a news agency aren't you obligated to report that this ad is filled with lies? Does that even matter to you anymore? I know, I know, you're afraid you'll be labeled by the right as favoring Obama if you call McBush out on his false statements. I mean, have some standards. You're quickly turning into FOX.

Straight Talk Express to friends in OHIO: The Washington Post, citing lobbying records, reported in June that Davis' lobbying firm earned $125,000 from Airborne in 2003 and $465,000 from DHL between 2003 and 2005. The Post also reported that McCain helped to overcome opposition to the deal by Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, who objected to foreign control of an American shipping company. McCain blocked an effort by Stevens to prohibit the foreign-controlled company from holding U.S. military contracts, the newspaper reported. With Davis lobbying on DHL's behalf, McCain, then chairman of the Senate commerce committee, stepped in, arguing that spending bills should not be used to make "a fundamental policy change" such as Stevens's provision. Congress scaled back the provision to ensure that the DHL-Airborne deal could go through. Straight Talk: JOBS LOST FOR OHIO = NO VOTES FOR McCain.

I guess when your on the bottom it's time to go negative. It won't work though. The American people aren't as dubious and naive as the McCain (McSame) campaign would like to think.

OBAMA '08!

Russia is attacking part of Georgia while the world is watching the Olympics. John McCain is calling on a UN intervention immediately. Barack Obama hasn't done anything. I imagine he's stammering around trying to quickly figure out what to do to appear ready to lead. But I guess he'll be our next president anyway (jimmy carter).

It's about time that the media started reporting about the REAL Obama; flip-flopping, corrupt, lying, stuttering, self-annointed messiah.
He is as qualified to be president as Osama Bin Laden is to be Director of Homeland Security.

It's pretty pitiful! He should be spending the donated money on ads that describe what he will do for the people of this country during these difficult times.

Is this what happens to you when you spend many years in politics?

Pitiful! – I really can't believe Mccain is for this type of wasteful spending of folks hard earned $$$$ Well, if he feels this is the only way he can possibly win...PITIFUL!

I will not vote Party this election, but experience. Since the candidate with the best qualifications and most accomplishments has been bamboozled, I have no other choice but to vote the next best qualified person for the most important job in the world, John McCain.

Please, America- don't judge McCain until you've walked in his $500 Ferragamo shoes, ok? Do you think it's easy to maintain 8 luxury homes?

He may have to marry an heiress just to keep his head above water- Oh. wait...

Outrageous. Every study by independent economists and tax groups agrees that 95% of Americans will see lower taxes. That takes into consideration capital gains, social security and corporate tax. This new ad is full of outright lies. Sadly, it may prove effective. I hope the Obama folks realize this. Taking the high road is a noble strategy, but when your opponent puts out this level of garbage, you have to draw the line.

“Life in the spotlight must be grand, but for the rest of us times are tough,”

Sure, McCain has had to drop back to wearing $500 loafers. He understands the hard times.

Who's out of touch?

The elite son of an Admiral in his $500 loafers, who doesn't know how to use a computer, probably can't inflate his own tires and uses his wife's plane to hop around their home state!

Now THERE is someone who has no idea of how most of us live.

Alice:

What is it like to be delusional?

yep!!!!
I Iwill NEVER vote for Obama...we had our chance with HILLARY

People who don't know how to use the internetand are clueless about the economy and doesn't know which countries still exist and which ones have changed their name should not be allowed to call anybody "out of touch"

The McCain camp is hoping he can fool enough of you to get elected before you see, which you will all too late, that offshore drilling is all smoke and mirrors. His other plan is Nuclear Power which if you read is expensive, and though pretty safe, if something goes wrong it can be devastating. So who of us will have them by our homes and how much risk goes up with an additional 45 plants? This is another bad idea. I have 40 acres and I would love to put 20 acres of wind mills up but will not live next to a nuclear plant.
Obama wants to invest in wind, hydo and electric for cars, which we had years ago until big oil bought it out and scraped all the cars. Goggle it, it’s true. The electric technology was here years ago.
So let’s get off these party lines and talk about facts. Lets look, for a change, what would help all of Americans. Yes the rich will get taxed more, but keep in mind the break they have gotten for years with the Bush cuts. I worked manufacturing most my life and I can tell you the bottom line is all that matters when the day ends and giving money to companies to lesson burden of medical cost, saying it will trickle down to employees is just a straight out lie. I have had three of the plants close that I worked for. Three different companies, all having been in the US for more that 30 years. They are now in foreign countries and McCain is looking to expand NAFTA. I find it hard to rely on anyone to look out for my better interest that has never known what it is to need.
As far as the so called PUMA’s, McCain’s stance on many women rights issues would put you back decades. Just look at his recent actions with his wife and she’s a millionaire, how do you think he will respect you? The next four years are critical to the future of this country. At 43 I don’t think I have ever been more worried about this great country than right now, it is not about me or you, it’s about all of us.

Please read, get educated, learn facts and vote with your head and not party lines or lies.

Just how is Obama out-of-touch? When we had the floods in the mid-west this spring, both Obama and McCain were told to "stay away" because the police and rescue were being spread too thin.

Who was the only candidate that refused to accept no for an answer and went anyway McCain.

Talk about being out of touch. We already have a President who believes himself to be King and does whatever he feels like doing regardless of what is being asked of him by the people. Do we really want another four more years of the same ole same ole?

BTW: Since I am a Viet Nam Vet and was in Country, does that qualify me to be Commander in Chief? Maybe I should run...

Outright lies from the McCain camp again. Why can't they start putting out ads that show what a great prez their man would be ?. Oh, I guess those would be lies too.
We know McCain dosen't have a solid platform to stand on, so I guess these redicules ads against Sen. Obama are all they can come up with. McCain = pathetic

Obama '08

Obama himself has said he supports extending the tax cuts on lower income levels, but would let those for the richest Americans expire. Gee, a modern day political Robin Hood........take from the rich to give to the poor........and let me just say one thing.........the rich are not going to let that happen........they are not rich for nothing.

Attack ads worked wonders for HRC.

The ad entitled "Painful"...as in John McCain's desperation and campaign strategy is becoming painful to watch

ANOTHER CELEB AD???????? In the words of Sen. Obama "is that all he's got?!"

McCain CAN'T talk about the issues, every issue points at the FAILURES OF BUSH/CHENEY/MCCAIN! Let's name a few..........

1. LIED ABOUT THE REASONS TO GO TO WAR WITH IRAQ........WHY ARE AMERICANS NOT SICK OF THIS????

2. BUSH/CHENEY/MCCAIN/GOP DOUBLED THE NATIONAL DEBT. WHEN CLINTON LEFT THE WHITE HOUSE IT WAS CLOSE TO $5.7 TRILLION (CLINTON INHERITED THIS FROM BUSH I) AND NOW........ THANKS TO BUSH/CHENEY/MCCAIN/GOP ITS.......$10 TRILLION!

3. WE ARE SPENDING $1.38 BILLION IN IRAQ, WHILE HARD WORKING AMERICANS GO BANKRUPT DUE TO MEDICAL BILLS THE #1 REASON FOR BANKRUPTCY. AND HARDWORKING AMERICANS ARE LOSING THEIR JOBS & HOMES!

4. THANKS TO BUSH/CHENEY/MCCAIN/GOP ....... WE HAVE THE ENRON LOOPHOLE, WHICH OPENED UP THE PRICE OF OIL FOR SPECULATION!

5. THANKS TO BUSH/CHENEY/MCCAIN/GOP 4100 BRAVE SOLDIERS HAVE DIED FOR OIL! AND OVER 30 THOUSAND HAVE BEEN MAIMED!

ETC., ETC., DO YOU REALLY WANT MORE OF THE SAME???????

THE ONLY ONE THAT IS SO OUT OF TOUCH IS JOHN MCCAIN!! WE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE SO TIRED OF THE SAME DIRTY TACTICS THAT MCCAIN IS DEMONSTRATING IN HIS CAMPAIGN!! I WAS THINKING OF VOTING FOR HIM BUT I CHANGED MY MIND BECAUSE THE WAY HE IS RUNNING HIS CAMPAIGN SHOWS HIS CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY! HE'S NOT THE KIND OF PRESIDENT I WOULD WANT TO VOTE FOR! WHAT HAS MCCAIN DONE FOR AMERICA IN THE PAST 25 YEARS??? ALOT SHOULD BE BETTER IN OUR COUNTRY IF HE IS SO EXPERIENCED!! IF HE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING IN 25 YEARS HE AIN'T GONNA IN THE NEXT FOUR EITHER!! HOW DO LIKE THAT JOHN MCCAIN!!!

People who make 250k and more will see their taxes go up substantially. We need to lie to not get Obama elected, he will take our millions that we robbed from the people and give it back!!!!

BTW inflating your tires will never save on gas, scientists are just dumb people who do not know what they are talking about.

We need to drill now because the only way to get oil is under the coral reefs. We do not need those things there anyways

Everytime McCain pulls this sort of thing, Obama goes up a point or two in the polls. Obama won't hit back now because why should he? He's ahead in the polls and all he needs to do is keep things stable and when the last month rolls around, go on an all out attack.

Karl Rove's tactics and the LOW ROAD, that's the trademark of McCain, which is not a surprise it was the same tactics of Bush 2000 and Bush 2004 (McSame as Bush anyone?).

It is interesting that the consensus now is that McCain campaign is finally "finding its voice".

Can you smell the JEALOUSY? McSurge is a celebrity too. He has been on TV ten time more often than Obama. It's just that his time in the spotlight had faded and no one want to hear his boring, scripted, dull, uninspiring speeches.

He does not draw a crowd like Obama does. His campaign find crowd and anywhere people gather and then inject him into the scene and then it's straight to the script. IF anyone can't clearly see this OLD MAN COLLECTION SOCIAL SECURITY who don't even know how it work would be a worst choice for this country then they are just plain dumb, deft and blind. He should be retired. His vision for the country will lead America into a depression cause he's own by LOBBIEST AND BIG OIL.

hey cnn:
how much do you pay per negative remark...or do you have you own department that posts these negative remarks...

take a lesson from FOX..........BALANCED AND FAIR REPORTING NOT YOUR STYLE...

THE LIST CONTINUES TO GROW
CNN
MSNBC
NY TIMES

CNN POST THIS ONE

I can't believe what im reading! I thought i'll never be ashamed to be a republican in my life but this time , i don't know what to say. Looks like the Democrats at least talk about real issues. I was for Guiliani but now i'm voting Democrat. McOld is not my man anymore with those stupids , childish ads.

nonsense our country is deluged with illegal immigrants and is not even a topic with either candidate visit schools emergency rooms welfare rolls these illegals are costing us millions lets send them home and will improve our economy.

John Mcsame been out of touch for 26 years OBAMA08

Garbage politics at its best!!!! No substance in McCain's message. How can you lead this great country effectively with all this rubbish. Tell us what you will do as a president and not what Obama will do or who Obama is. You are such a pathetic wrinkle old lazy man. Now, get lost because you are not presidential.

It's not the other guy's fault when people don't like you as much.

Many Democrats will vote for McCain if Hillary is not nominated because Obama is Change You cannot believe in.

Obama's camp should hit back pointing out the fact that McCain once listed himself as the "political celebrity" on his website before he had his website scrubbed before launching attacks about Obama. Then I would run continuous clips of the movie Wedding Crashers. Then I would run the SNL skits of McCain singing. Then I would run the episodes of 24 and let the public see who the real celeb is.

I truly believe John McCain and his campaign idiots really envy Barack Obama, they can not believe an African American can out clever them at their own game. So, instead of showing their smarter by concentrating on the issues to the American people, they decide to continue attack ads. They believe since it worked for George W. Bush it will work for John McCain. They will find out come November!!!!!!!

thats like Bill Maher calling the Pope an atheist.

Too bad the McBush camp can't come up with a truthful ad. Of course the Republicans have been lying to us for soooo long they wouldn't know the difference! They'll probably come out later an say they was just having fun....why not get SERIOUS??????

Funny to listen to the Obama kids complain about telling the truth.
Grow up boys and girls.

Out of touch is a mute argument. McCain just wants to win and is trying any angle that he can. Is it so bad Obama is more likable by the media because he has better visual appeal ( as well as many many better policies for America)? Hey..not that it's important but we do have to look and listen to our president for at least four years. John McCain's dry speech pattern and swollen cheeks has already driven me crazy!

OBAMA BACKED OUT OF A DEBATE WITH MCCAIN. HE IS SPINELESS. HE TALKS THE TALK ,BUT CANT DO THE WALK. THE ONLY REASON HE IS A NOMINEE IS BECAUSE HE BOUGHT IT THROUGH DNC,S.DELIGATES ETC. WASHINGTON IS A AFRAID THAT HRC WOULD BRING THE REAL CHANGES WE NEED. THATS THE FACTS. OBAMA IS A JOKE,MEDIA CLOWN AND CON MAN. READ NEWS MAX. WHERE THEY HAVE THE FACTS HE IS MUSLIM. BORN, RAISED ETC. AMERICA IS HEADED TOWARD A WORLD WAR IF O.B. GETS ELECTED. IRAN IS NOT PLAYING. MCCAIN IS THE ONLY SMART CANIDATE .WITH AGE COMES WISDOM. AMERICA GETS WHAT THEY ASK FOR.

McShame lies to much, the truth will set you free president Obama
do not fall to this low raod McBush ads keep telling the truth Mccain will go down including all his republican supporters.

Why did cnn decide to report this but not the one that has High party dems like Kerry promoting McCain and talking about the good he has done? Dems loved McCain until he stood in the way of electing a dem as president.

Interesting how they pick and choose which adds make on the ticker.

McCain has a crush on Obama.

Obama is off next weeek John, let's see if you can tell us why you should be president, without mentioning his name constantly.

Better to have McCain in office then to hand it over to Hillary at the convention. Ill stick with Obama win or loose. The Clintons had there day.

I am amazed that people on this blog actually believe that Obama will not raise taxes except for those making $250,000. When has a Democrat entering the White House not raised taxes to support a social welfare agenda?

How is Obama going to pay for all the programs he wants to create (education, environmental initiatives, reparations, etc?). Not with the savings from Iraq – he already said he wants a new "surge" in Afghanistan.

Of course Obama won't say he will raise taxes because he wouldn't get elected if he did.

Now I know why McCain's campaign took the Federal campaign funds. Who needs a large advertising budget when the media keeps showing your ads for free.

Sorry Folks ......someone who is out of touch is a leader who cannot even get into the internet. How can you possibly be intouch with the world in 2008 unless you can do that??? Certainly you cannot rely on aides keeping you appraised. McCain stopped progressing in 1998..a LOT has Changed since then.!!.

This is not a campaign anymore.It's making fun of the american electorate.
ULMATE IDIOCY!

The DNC should put together an ad of McCain's celebrity status and include those pitifully painful skits from when he hosted SNL. He was younger then and more vibrant, and the skits still were awful.

McSame is obsessed with Obama. I think he is in love with him. There is no other explanation for this. Obsession is clouding his mind, will not talk about his plans, agrees with Obama at the end, and does not make sense when he speaks. McSame is really in love. Obama is McCain's celebrity.

"Life in the spotlight must be grand, but for the rest of us, times are tough." So... is McCain and his wife's millions upon millions of dollars being included in this "us" group?! Obama may be a "celebrity," but after a President hated by most in our country and abroad, what's wrong with the future leader of the free world being liked and adored by many?

It seems to me that it is McCain and his campaign that are out of touch.

So misleading, but people will believe it and not use websites like factcheck.org. Even factcheck is saying that it isn't changing the tax rates of this group. He wants to ROLL back Bush tax cuts for the wealthy. To basically go back to tax rates from Bill Clinton's time. You know, when we were prospering?

That's how we got Bush twice – people who suck up propoganda and never do their own research.

McCain use to be a Maverick, but honestly his ads sound more and more negative and like Bush tactics every single day. I really hope all of this backfires and the American public see through all of this. We'll be so much worse off then we are now....so much.

How much do you want to bet McCain's ads are all negative while Obama is on vacation? Why can't he talk about why he's so great? Isn't that what a TRUE maverick does?

Obama 08'

The only thing that's "Painful" is having to listen to this intellectually dishonest garbage from McCain's advertising team. They KNOW they can't win by convincing people that Republicans have better ideas so they rely on what's gotten them elected for the past 30 years, fear and smear.

Disgusting. Simply disgusting. So McCain has nothing else to but continue to lie about Obama's voting record, and try to make fun of the fact that people actually like him as a candidate. PATHETIC!!!

This has got to stop. I dont even know what McCain stands for anymore. I only see these negative ad campaigns and think, "Does he really have anything to say?" Its like he's not campaigning to win, but to make Obama lose. How pathetic!!

It's amazing to me that McCain, a man born into wealth and privelege, can call Obama an elistist. Barack Obama was raised in a single parent household, attended public elementary schools and managed to get into Columbia and Yale without having to rely on legacy. Explain to me how that is elitist?

And there we go – another attack.

More and more Negative ads from old Mcbush these Republicans sicken me They should all be put on a Island by themselves for ruining the Country we Know Obama should hit Back hard Without a Question

MORE of McCain's LIES

Only income affected by Senator Obama's Tax Plan, OVER $250,000.00

MCCAIN, GET YOUR FACTS ACCURATE......

About the ONLY way to be out of touch in these days is not to know how to work a computer. Which one of our presidential candidates falls into that category?

Note to McBush: Start talking about ISSUES! I'm getting sick of this BS!

John McCain's sleezy dishonorable campaign continues. He may think these negative ads and disgusting tactics are working, but I'm confident that the American people are not going to be duped this time. It's funny that the charge that Obama is "out of touch" and "elitist" is coming from John McCain whose chief economic advisor describes us as a "country of whiners," who wears $500 shoes, who has many McMansions littered across the country, who is married into one of the most wealthy families in America, and who has no plan whatsoever to ensure that all Americans receive affordable health care. There is way to much at stake for Americans to fall prey to the old politics of fear and smear.

Envy is an ugly critter.....

When you have nothing to offer...attack.

The top producers may favor Obama – but McCain has still pocketed more oil industry cash: $1.3 million, to Obama’s $394,000. The cash haul includes including McCain’s recent headline-grabbing advantage with Hess Corp., whose employees have donated $91,000 to the presumptive Republican nominee’s presidential bid, while giving Obama's just $8,000.

The industry’s support for McCain “shot up after the presumptive Republican nominee announced his support for offshore drilling,” CRP notes in the report, but “the trend started months before that.”

Look!! I will be the first to admitt, I support McCain more than anything, but if the information in the ad is not true then just don't put it out!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is starting to make you look like a freaking idiot!!!

these ads are a waste of TV space

Quite apart from the lunacy of a man with six homes and who is married to a multi-millionaire saying – "for the rest of us times are tough", when is John McCain going to tell us why HE should be president, rather than why Obama should not?

MCCAIN IS SHOWING OBAMA PERSONAL TRUTH DEB...

BECAUSE THE MEDIA WONT...NOR WILL OBAMA

Mccain Is The One Who Is Out Of Touch! He Tries To Portray Himself As A Maverick And Thats Just Funny! Even His Own Brother Says He Is No Maverick! He Has Gone From Maverick To Magoo!

HE IS WHAT MCCAIN SAYS HE IS PERIOD

ya right.... old man McBush wanders around in his stupid baseball cap and lives off the beer queen's money... ya McBush is in touch all right... what a dope

If you ask Obamer a question just like the question you asked yesterday, you will get a different answer. That person has no base; he says what he thinks is popular to each individual group he speaks to. Liar, liar!!!!

The new Ad raises some valid points. In my opinion, Obama is out of touch and ill-qualified to be President.

God forbid people APPROVE of a Presidential candidate!
God forbid a Presidential candidate is portrayed in a positive light!

I guess they McCain camp thinks we're supposed to
disapprove of and loathe Presidential Candidates.

McCain has had a love affair with the media since his
days back in Arizona. And when the media didn't show
him in a favorable light, his temper exploded and he
strong-armed those that sought to show his true character.

He even inserted himself into the lives of hometown
newspaper editors to make sure that he was given
favorable press.

I guess now that McCain isn't the media's darling anymore
he figures the best thign to do is attack Obama. Well, John,
back in the day you were the media's wonderboy, and today
you're just a feeble old man. Get over it. Your time is up.

McCain,

You are painful because you have yet to discuss a policy plan. You only attack. Come up with a plan instead of attacking Obama. At least Obama has a plan.

Yet another failure from McCain. Only morons will vote for McCain.

we should offer our presidents no housing, no pay, no benefits, and no legal way to accept donations. maybe then the money grabbing prats will stop running.

I'm sure I speak for scores of others when I say that I am so INCREDIBLY sick of the negative crap coming out of the McCain campaign.

Seriously, why should I vote for McCain? I haven't heard a word about what he'll do for me. It all seems to be about what Obama does or doesn't have to offer.

It's not to late! Hillary 08

The Republican campain just refuses to talk about the issues.

This is so stupid.

Barack is out there every day working very hard giving us a clue how hard he will work for america and this clown (mccain) what is he really doing besides funding these disgusting, lying commercials. I wouldn't trust my kid with mccain alone for three seconds. BTW does anyone remember back in february when mccain said that all Latinos were good for was cheap labor? He made the comment off camera supposedly but someone caught it.

McMalignant is such a hater. He is so jealous of Obama's popularity that it is pathetic. I don't want to see any more stupid attack ads. Talk about what you plan to do about the problems the nation is facing. That's how you win votes. Barack is no Kerry. McCrypt can not. will not win with these Bushwhacked stunts that worked against Kerry. Obama and his handlers are way to savvy for that.

There is a point to all of this. Obama IS being treated as a celebrity and treated as a Messiah! Hillary should have name called during roll call, and she should keep her name on the nomination ballot. I don't think she'd suddenly "steal" the nomination, but there is a principle to it. When Howard Dean lost the nomination, his name stayed on, and his name was called during roll call, as did some other past democratic candidates, so why not hers?

McCain is a bitter, angyr old man and the last person America should want to see in the White House.

However, since the vast majority of Americans are apathetic, lazy, whiny, uninformed and chronic complainers, he will probably get elected.

My grandfather received two Purple Hearts in the war and was on teh CIty Couoncil for much of my childhood and he would be the first to say that DOES NOT qualify someone to be president.

You go Grandad!

How much more of this will we have to withstand from the McCain campaign?

GOP mantra if you first lie and don't succeed ..lie lie again

Drop your gloves, Obama, and hit McCain hard. Don't wait any longer. There is SO MUCH for you to raise questions about. Please go on the offensive!

Pathetic! Mccain reaches a new low every day. How do you repuglicans sleep at night? BTW puma/pac babes – if crhillary is so great why couldn't she manage her campaign finances????? Not one of you demented people ever answer that. How could she run a country when she couldn't even manage her campaign? Bill just made 4 million giving speeches in two months yet they are still begging for your hard earned dollars. Disgraceful!

McCain needs to get his facts straight if he is going to smear obama while he is on a much needed vacation. obama is not raising taxes on less than 75,000.00 wages and is doing away with seniors having to pay taxes at all. this is just another blunder McCain has made that shows how incompitant he is and can not keep his facts together.

When I saw the tax plan comparison, taxes went down for everyone under Obama's plan unless you made about $250k and above. Someone needs to Factcheck this because it looks like a complete lie.

Actually Obama said he would raise taxes on those who make more than $250,000.

Why can't the media call McCain out on his outright lying.

The Democratic Party can still save itself from another humiliating defeat by nominating Hillary at the convention. Sticking with Obama guarantees McCain being elected in November.

john george mcbush is going down in november!
