McLame will throw another tempter tantrum... just like GWB does when his staff diagrees with him. McLame WAS involved in the whole DHL affair... and will be responsible when DHL closes up shop in Ohio and puts tons of people out of work.

Ohio people are idiots if they vote for McCain this fall... keeping the tax breaks for those making over $250,000?? That's really going to help your state out, Ohio.... time for your state to make a difference by telling McLame to take a hike!! WAKE UP, AMERICA!!

Not only is McCain responsible for the loss of jobs in Ohio by voting for the merger of the company's that fired them, but then McCain hired a lobbyist from those companys as his Campain Manager!!!!

McCain the Job Raider!!!

McCain took money from a lobbyist linked to both Airborne and DHL. McCain then convinced other politicians to vote for the merger of the two companys in Ohio.

McCain got the vote through, the companys merged, then they fired 8000 people in Ohio! So yes, McCain is the cause!!!!!

I notice that when ever Mc cain gives a neagative response or talk he's given the thumbs -up that he made a slam dunk. Now for what it's worth a slam dunk into the my future is not exactly what id' like a candiate to do. Negative is all he is doing and for what it's worth is bringing out the old racist ideas that linger in the backs of Americans.
If the light was TO SHINE. people would see that they have been railroaded these lasr two administrations under George Bush. World policies have there place, I want a president who is concerned about what is going on in America, one that is worried about the deficiet that is bringing America to it's feet. Not from the top down, but bottom up. Call it trickle up economics. That is when the bottom falls out and fails to support the top.

Just like Obama and his supporters who blame his opponent for comments he didn't make. Just like they did the Clintons. They don't stop to realize that people are not fools and have minds of their own unlike their man OBAMA.

Yeah McCain didn't clear up his side of the story, he just recycled that BS "Obama will raise your taxes, put a dent in your savings" line.

McCain knows he's wrong.

I used to respect senator McCain, while disagreeing with many of his positions. I used to think that he was an honorable man. Sadly, that respect is gone, as I see him approving and/or initiating vicious and slanderous attacks on Obama. I thought that the smear attacks would end with Hillary out of the race, but senator McCain has out-hillaried Hillary and proven me wrong. Again.

You posters really are amusing. First, McCain sincerely believes in trickle down economics because, well, it works. Second, corporations are already flocking to greener pastures abroad (e.g., Ireland) - what do you think will happen when Obama and a democrat controlled Congress raises taxes on corporate income? Not exactly an incentive to stay in the states.

Why don't they get to the issues and stop this "one up" ad game between each other! It's way past time they started to explain what they're going to do for their Nation and it's people. And way past time the Media started asking them! End the Games. Start talking Facts Now. At least Hillary was on the issues! We knew what she planned to do, she told us. And didn't have to pay big bucks to explain it in a Book! I don't think either of these Nominees deserve thePresidency. Tell us what your going to do for us or gracefully bow and we'll elect someone that can!

I get a chuckle whenever the crazy libs tie McCain to Bush and say that since they are the same party it will be four more Bush years. Of course, with GWBs current poll numbers it is no wonder you want to run against him. Unfortunately for Dems, Bush is not on the ballot this time. Saying they are the same just because they are in the same party is ridiculous. Carter was the most inept, innefective and dimwitted president ever, and yet Clinton was actually a very good president. Weren't they in the same party? The argument that party affiliation means everything doesn't hold water. The truth is that POTUS is the toughest job on Earth and shouldn't be handed to a rookie. Obama has been in the Senate like 4 years half of which he was to busy running for president to actually be there. He is inexperienced, naive, and arrogant.

Look what it did, as democrats our best hope for a peaceful and fruitful next four years was a partnership between Obama and Clinton but Obama didn't play fair and now there is no hope for democrats and pardon the language but the republicans are S.O.L. too.

Why isn't McCain as rapid at responding to questions about matters that are important to voters.

At what point will McCain start talking about his platform and explaining his deplorable voting record and answering questions about his lack of moral fiber?

Let's start with McCain explaining why he demands that Congress get back to work in order to vote on the energy bill, which vote was on the floor only 5 days earlier and WHY was McCain again absent like he was absent for all 8 votes? One of those 8 votes he was in his office and refused to go to the floor to cast his vote.

Higher taxes on whose paychecks? On whose electric bills? On whose life savings? Here's how out of touch McCain is and how uninformed he thinks the general public is: My paycheck will most likely have lower taxes or no change.....My electric utility company has just been given the go ahead to raise my rates up to 30%, but since the rate increase will take place over the next several years, after Obama wins the election no doubt the republicans will say the dems are to blame.....I have no life savings left after having to beg, borrow and steal from every account available to me to put gas in my car.

it must be nice to be in obama's position, because he as accomplished diddley he can complain about those who have. McCain was a hero when the jobs were saved and others added now that the economy calls for cutbacks he's a bum. for the record sen. obama's most recognized accomplishment as a lawyer was to defend is buddy tony rezko he left that to become a community organizer accomplishments none then he left that to become a sen. accomplishments to date very little. obama reminds me of jack cafferty who daily degrades people who have accomplished so much in their life while he as done what. so McCain wears $500.00 loafers i wear $600.00 orthotics because i have spurs on my heels i don't tell people about it but if it was McCain i guess that would be news. obama ran out and bought a house he could barely afford as soon as he made a few bucks, the deal was so tight he needed rezko's help to complete it, so whose showing off trying to show their moving on up

Both candidates are distorting the records of the other, it's just McCain has more of a record than Obama. Also, to the people who think Obama won't raise taxes except on those making $250,000 or more: Do you think that's going to pay for all the things he says he's going to do? He's going to have to lower that income level to get you the health care, renewable energy and everything else he promises.
