		<description>Dumb Nuts Committee,  you talk about the GOP and then do the very thing you accuse them of doing. I don&#039;t think you want to go the connection route, what about Ayers, Rezko and Rev. Wright?</description>

		<description>There are so many that are calling McCain, McBush, Bush&#039;s third term, etc. Taking a comment by the McCain camp, if Obama is elected it will be Carters third term.</description>

		<description>Never have I seen anything like this and I am ashame that in this day and age, our children and grandchildren have to face this kind of hatred.
Hillary was not liked among her people, but running against an African American, she is suddenly admired by so many. Those supporters were never going to vote for Obama anyway. Why would anyone want to vote for someone whose husband disgraced the white house and if she were chosen as vp would bring that baggage with her. That being the case, why criticized John Edwards. At least he wasn&#039;t in office.</description>

		<description>A sign the Obama camp is growing more desperate.  Despite 

outspending McCain by far and for an extended period of time, Mr. Obama

is not closing the sale with centrists.  Worse of all, his camp again

demonstrating with this ad that Mr. Obama is not about &quot;Change,&quot; in fact,

he is a poster child for Chicago style under the table politics which have

served him well in the past in his backyard.  I can&#039;t wait to see first 

hand Obama&#039;s accomplishments in public housing in Chicago.  I was

there recently and saw the delapited conditions tenants live in, 

despite years and years of multi millions of dollars thrown away there.

That&#039;s the kind of change Mr. Obama is proud of.</description>

		<description>I know that the Repugs and PUMA&#039;s feel that Obama is &quot;bad for america&quot;....But I ask you; Why wouldn&#039;t the smarter voter pick the smart guy?

Ok....the smart voter doesn&#039;t include those that believe John McClueless has plan.  But for some reason there are a load of really dumb american&#039;s that believe that being in the Senate for 26 yrs, and consistently screwing up and making the wrong decision, is the best leadership for this country.  What????

John MCan&#039;t is a senior citizen that couldn&#039;t even balance his check book.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s interesting to see how many Obama haters out there thats showing their true colors. I guess once this thing is over, everyone will know where they stand . We don&#039;t have to go to war in Iraq or any other country, because the enemy is right here in our own country. There will never be unity because those of you that are bigots will always remain true to your ancestors beliefs that if you are BLCK, stay back!</description>

		<description>I wish the DNC would do a piece on family values.
Then we can talk about the way John McBush threw his wife and family under the bus when he returned from Vietnam.
If it wasn&#039;t for his trophy wife and &quot;beer bucks&quot; he would be a shadowy memory like Mitt,....what was his name?
He threw the religous right under the bus in &#039;04 but they seem to have a short memory. I&#039;d like to see the DNC remind America of that.</description>

		<description>Why is it when I say I am going to vote for the smart candidate , people know I am saying Obama?
How can a Clinton supporter get behind a Republican candidate ?
One who voted to investigate forward with Ken Starr?
Why does Republican hate radio call Obama a flip flopper when some of his positions align with theirs?
Why do people want to see our nation internally rot , so long as a white guy is the gate keeper?
Will anyone pay for GWBs sins ?</description>

		<description>McCain and the Repuglicans have set the tone alright... the tone for SLIMEYNESS!!  The more you educate yourself with the facts... the more you will see right thru the shallowness and failed policies of Bush AND McBush.

Besides... after the whole &#039;tire gauge&#039; incident&#039;, it’s OBVIOUS that the GOP prides themselves on being ignorant.  Way to go, GOP!!  &#039;Ignorant&#039; is the new &#039;Cool&#039;.

McCain&#039;s campaign staff is just LOADED with lobbyists, it&#039;s no wonder they&#039;re tied to Abramoff.  The GOP party is ENTIRELY about the money... about scandal and dishonesty... why do you think we&#039;ve been calling it a &#039;Culture of Corruption&#039;?  They are just rife with it... overflowing, to be exact.  This isn&#039;t an opinion... just count all the scandals in the news over the past 8 years.  Let the facts speak out!!  Even McCain has the Keating 5 and his infidelity.  Remember that??

McCain is just another Bob Dole... lacking in luster and electability, and empty suit that will do or say anything to get elected.  He has no character or substantial policies of his own, so all he can do is attack, attack, attack. They may have been great Veterans, but they&#039;re both lousy politicians.  WAKE UP, AMERICA!!</description>

		<description>It is laughable to try to link McCain to the scandal with Abramoff.  For over 30 years mCcain has proven himself to be honorable and trustworthy; not even asking for any pork barrel (earmark) money for his state.

Obama has asked for &amp; Gotten millions in pork barrel spending &amp; now we discover he beleives in killing babies who are born alive after they are aborted.

The bible says that in the lasts days that men shall make evil to be good and make good to be evil &amp; it took the DNC &amp; the media  to do it.</description>

		<description>Don&#039;t let one more Obama supporter let cross his lips that Obama is running a clean campaign or a  positive campaign.  He has attacked just as much in a more negative way that McCain or Clinton ever did. This is just another example of say one thing and then do another. Obama and his suporters are just and if not more negative and condescending than any other campaign that has ever been run. Too bad once again Obama says one thing and then stands by and lets his campaign and supporters do the opposite.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s about time the democrats start telling the truth about John McCain. 

I also hope they run an ad showing how disasterous his military record really is.</description>

Well the DNC just opened up Obama to his connection to Rezco. 
I am voting for Hillary Clinton in November.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The RNC and the McCain campaign are already well aware of the weak Rezco allegations.  As much as you hope, I don&#039;t think your post offered them any new &#039;ground breaking yet false&#039; ammunition.

Well the DNC just opened up Obama to his connection to Rezco.<br />
I am voting for Hillary Clinton in November.<br />
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />
The RNC and the McCain campaign are already well aware of the weak Rezco allegations.  As much as you hope, I don't think your post offered them any new 'ground breaking yet false' ammunition.</p>

		<description>Question for CNN, why are some story comment lines closed out so much sooner than others.  The story on McCain&#039;s new attack ad on Obama&#039;s eco plan was closed out after just 25 comments.  It was posted later than this story but closed much sooner.  Why?</description>

		<description>Obama has been smearing McCain with ageism and racism comments since the beginning. That did not work and McCain continues to rise in the polls. Now he is trying to smear with the money trail. I still do not understand how Obama gets so much money when he can&#039;t even top Hillary Clinton with number of voters. Can anyone tell me how the &quot;bundles&quot; money laundering works? There must be a trail somewhere!</description>

Why don&#039;t you actually look at his reason which does make sense:

&quot;There was some suggestion that we might be able to craft something that might meet constitutional muster with respect to caring for fetuses or children who were delivered in this fashion. Unfortunately, this bill goes a little bit further, and so … this is probably not going to survive constitutional scrutiny. Number one, whenever we define a pre-viable fetus as a person that is protected by the equal protection clause or other elements in the Constitution, what we’re really saying is, in fact, that they are persons that are entitled to the kinds of protections that would be provided to a — a child, a nine-month-old — child that was delivered to term. That determination, then, essentially, if it was accepted by a court, would forbid abortions to take place. I mean, it — it would essentially bar abortions, because the equal protection clause does not allow somebody to kill a child, and if this is a child, then this would be an antiabortion statute.&quot;

--Barack Obama

In layman&#039;s terms:  If we are considering babies at that stage people, kids, etc., then we should really take a look at abortion period.  If we are considering them people, then we are only accepting the child because he/she didn&#039;t die.  So aborting that child would essentially be murder if that child had died.  This could kill Roe v Wade

Personally, I don&#039;t agree with abortion.  While I don&#039;t agree, I do understand where pro-abortion people are coming from.  This seems like a reasonable response from somewhat of that nature (even though pro-abortion people supported the bill).

Furthermore Obama did support the federal bill.

But to vote based on abortion is ridiculous.  Bush used that crap in both campaigns and has done what????? NOTHING!!!!!

Just the same old thing to get Evangelicals who don&#039;t care about anything else but abortion (sarcasm guys and gals) to vote for them.

And for your information a bill protecting live infants HAS BEEN LAW IN ILLINOIS FOR 20 YEARS ALREADY!!!!!!!!!

		<description>That&#039;s almost funny, McCain calling anyone&#039;s plan a disaster! I thnk that&#039;s what we have right now from the current leadership, an economic disaster. McCain&#039;s lobbist friends will insure he never has to face those kinds of realities, as well as his wife&#039;s money to fall back on if that dries up. McCain&#039;s a dinosaur from a different generation and is going to require require too much sleep and Rx to keep up with the Presidency. His election would feel like a when those old Russian guys kept becoming the new leaders of their country - old, frail men clinging to old ways.</description>

		<description>First of all, CNN is getting pathetic!  The new McCain add makes front page but this is buried on the ticker page.  I am starting to think that CNN is a major contributor to the McCain campaign.  

Having said that McCain stands for the rich, pure and simple.  We are seeing the benefits of deregulation, free trade pacts not being enforced and tax cuts for the rich.  The residential housing market and economy is in shambles but the custom/high end housing market is roaring.  McCain may or may not have taken money but the Republican&#039;s have.  Time to oust the party of big business and get some sanity back in government.</description>

		<description>There s no story hear.  ust as there was no story when a fund raiser for Clinton was found on a train naked after laundering alot of money.

DEms have got to be careful.  They come across very hypocritical.  It&#039;s OK for Clinton to get favors from Monica in the whitehouse while Hillary is in the other room, BUT, it&#039;s not ok for McCain to divorce and remarry.

It is Ok for Obama to have ties to Rezko.  Many dem poo poo&#039;d the whole thing (by the way, there is no argument that he got a ridiculous deal on real estate), and now it&#039;s not ok for McCain to have ties (removed ties that is) to a launderer.

Remember, if you hold a R&#039;s feet to the fire for an action, just remember, there are no excuses when a dem does the same thing.  

That is the issue here.  The Clinton&#039;s have gotten away with more fundraising scandals then anyone else by far, and yet &quot;18 million&quot; dems still voted for her.

Say it with me. . . . . Hypocrites!!</description>

		<description>McCains questionable financial supporters go all the way back to his first campaign.

Personally, I am more concerned by the fact that McCain has been almost totally AWOL in the Senate for the past two years, well over two times longer than he has been campaigning hard.  Why has he:

Only voted on half of the important defense bills going back 3 years?
Only voted in favor of one of the last 7 military funding bills?
Skipped town instead of supporting the new GI Bill?
Did not support equal pay for women? (HR2831 - April 2008)
Skipped votes on the last 13 energy policy related bills going back over two years?
Skipped votes on 20 straight environmental bills going back almost 3 years?

These are only a few issues.  McCain has been AWOL for 2 - 3 years in the Senate on almost every issue important to the American people.  Why would we elect this DO NOTHING Senator as POTUS?</description>

		<description>Speaking of more of the same, notice that Obama&#039;s tax proposal continues his contribution to Social Security at it&#039;s current rate - wich is zero.  If Social Security is such a great idea, why doesn&#039;t he propose REAL change and promise to make all members of Congress, the executive branch and all other government employees contribute to this system just like the rest of us.  This, instead of continuing their own sweetheart deal.

By the way, the 50% of us making less than the nation median income pay only 2.9% of the tax burden.  There isn&#039;t much left to cut.  Don&#039;t believe Obama&#039;s proposals will be a net cut in taxes.  They&#039;ll go up and the so-called &quot;rich&quot;, who have seen their share of the tax burden increase dramatically under Bush will find a way to turn higher marginal rates into lower overall tax payments.   Unfortunately, this can&#039;t be explained in a 15-second sound bite, which is all the politicians and news media are capable of - to our ultimate detriment.

Note that the so-called rich threshold starts just above what Congress makes.</description>

		<description>White Girl for Obama... 

White people don&#039;t say hater or use it in a grammatically incorrect sentence. Stop playing the race card like your messiah.

Have more kids, collect more welfare, follow Obama like he is Jesus. Then abort more kids...

		<description>Hey, what about Rezko.  Was he not with Obama.  Look whos calling the kettle black.  

White girl for Obama:  I am a white women for McCain.  I am not stupid, racist or hateful or mad about Sen. Clinton.  .  I just don&#039;t like or believe him or his wife.  Even though I am a Democrate, I was never for him.  

I will never eat crow if he becomes president, but will watch you people be disappointed when everything is not coming up roses.</description>

		<description>Big reach with this ad. Waste of money for Dems. Well it isn&#039;t like obama is going to win anyway. If you want to talk about &quot;dirty politics&quot; lets talk about a certain Chicago politico who was &quot;elected&quot; by getting people kicked off the ballot in his State Legislature race. lol</description>

		<description>All that McCain and Bush do is bullying.  Now Bush does not want Russia to do the bullying, but when he did the bullying in Iraq it was fine.  McCain is the same.</description>

		<description>McCain is the biggest hypocrite I have ever seen. Lets not forget was part the Keating 5. and now he some mighty do gooder.  Come-on McCAIN is sleazy politician.   McCain canb&#039;t even live up to his own campaign finance rules. McCain is using swift boating tactics and I think Obama should defend itself.</description>

		<description>Hello, Ms. WHITE GIRL FOR OBAMA,

The McCain supporters aren&#039;t the ones talking about race.  Only the Obama supporters are.  I&#039;m sorry If I&#039;m not brainwashed like you, but just because I don&#039;t support a candidate does not make me a racist.  In fact, my ideal presidential candidate is Colin Powell, who happens to an African-American like Mr. Obama.  I don&#039;t plan on taking a bus to work, either.  My car works just fine when it&#039;s cold or raining, and when it&#039;s a nice sunny day, I bike to work.  I also have very healthy job security in the aviation industry.  While the rest of the country is complaining about the economy, we happen to be enjoying record numbers.  My healthcare is also rather cheap, affordable, and will pay for everything up to, and including, major surgery.  Just because I had the drive to get out of a low-income family, and push myself to get a degree and a good job doesn&#039;t mean that I am a racist.  It just means that you are lazy, and don&#039;t want to take responsibility for your own future.  

Sincerely
Scott - Wichita, Kansas</description>

		<description>I wish they would quit trying to link the repubs to people many of the voters don&#039;t even follow.  If they just stuck with the bread and butter they would do fine.  Stuck in an illegal war waged over a lie.  Economy in the crapper.  McCain offering no new path but down the Bush road.</description>

		<description>wow, I thought Obama was above all this, isn&#039;t that what he&#039;s always telling us   He leaves it to his supporters like Anonymous  to trash people who don&#039;t agree with his policies.  Anonymous says Americans are stupid.  That&#039;s what Obama and his supporters think, that we are all dumb enough to buy his empty rhetoric, his hope and change crap, that has no substance behind it.  People like Obama and Anonymous are planning on us buying these negative ads, or hoping we let Oprah tell us how to vote.  I will be voting for HIllary Clinton, but I hope for the sake of this country that people like Anonymous who support Obama are wrong, we won&#039;t be dumb enough to buy this ad.  By the way Anonymous why don&#039;t you call Americans stupid while using your name!</description>
