Comments on: Obama camp links McCain to Abramoff scandal http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/08/20/obama-camp-links-mccain-to-abramoff-scandal/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Devin http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/08/20/obama-camp-links-mccain-to-abramoff-scandal/#comment-1501871 Devin Thu, 21 Aug 2008 04:49:43 +0000 http://cnnpoliticalticker.wordpress.com/?p=13408#comment-1501871 Richard - "Go out and buy some Budweiser and put some more cash in his pockets." And that cash comes from American wallets, even though the company is no longer American. As is typical when the Republicans mismanage things, Anheuser Busch was allowed to be bought by InBev, a Belgian corporation. Just another fine example of how the Republicans handle 'trade', I guess. They allow our jobs and our American iconic companies to go overseas. Although I must admit you may be right; I'll bet that Cindy still gets paid no matter what.

It is sad to say that I know most of the people that support McCain cannot afford to have him in the Whitehouse. I can say that can only help those that are will to help themselves and it just does not seem like these people get it. If you think that McCain will be a better Commander and Chief think again. He is part of the reason that we are stuck in a war that we should have never started. He is talking trash to Georgia but they are laughing because they know that our hands are tied and there is not a thing that we can do. We have no military force, no economic force and no creditability. Talk is cheap and we have no way of backing it up. All of you young republicans get ready for the draft. I will be waiting on you. You cannot have war without service members and you are up next. We will take you old ones also. I will teach you how to be Army Strong and show you were your tax dollars are really going.

Let's talk about his first marriage. He cannot be trusted to keep the most sacred vows that a man takes in life let alone be president!!!!!!!

He is a phony who is trying to fool people with his empty talk about values and religion. Or how about the fact that McCain sponsored a bill to give AMNESTY TO ILLEGALS! People just need to look below the surface to see what a slimy politician that he is. He is just sying what his lobbyist campaign managers tell him to say.

Please, for all caring people that really want change GET IT RIGHT… The McCain doc said nothing about his change of heart on just about all the positions he held previously before he became the “Front Runner” or the “Presumptive Nominee.” Please, I’m a concerned citizen and I’m very concerned about the life I help leave for my kids and their kids.

Change we can believe in? I think not. Say hello to your messiah America. Obama is a career politician who uses the same old politics everyone else does. The only difference between Obama and McCain's style of politics is that McCain is surprisingly moderate with a history of reaching across bipartisan politics and working with the other side while Obama is extremely far left ... oh yeah ... and one has 26+ years of experience working as a public servant while the other has yet to complete a full term as either a state or US senator. Obama barely finished half his term as state senator before running for US senate. He then barely finished half his term as US senator before running for president. He effectively has about a year and a half's experience actually doing anything from a leadership standpoint ... and even then we all know how many times he didn't even vote yes/no, but present. Empty suit much? How deliciously ironic.

It's the same people that voted for Bush twice! McCain is NO American hero. Dropping bombs on mostly defenseless villages filled with unarmed civilians is not an act of heroism. I give him props for staying behind as a POW. But being a POW is by no means a '+' to becoming a president. McCain was a subpar pilot and when he was told he couldn't make it to admiral, he used his connections (his father's connections) to get into politics. Where has 8 years of tax cuts for businesses created in jobs/pay? Please compare the statistics for 'fiscal conservatism' vs "tax and spend' of Clinton's admin and you will see that we went into year 2001 with a SURPLUS and HIGHER wages across the board. Fiscal conservatism (from Reagan to Bush Sr, to Bush Jr." all ended with hundreds of BILLIONS of $ in debt. explain that to me. Obama is not even close to a being a perfect candidate, but he is definitely a more intelligent man than McCain judging from how he handles himself with deep questions and his background in education. He may not have the most experience, but that's why he has ADVISORS/GENERALS/CHEIFS OF STAFFS/ADMIRAL to help him out like any other president. I do not want a TRIGGER HAPPY COWBOY IN THE OVAL OFFICE AGAIN, PERIOD. do u all really want to know WHY Obama has to finally go negative despite his best efforts of doing otherwise?

As for michael, who asks how McCain is a hero just for getting shot down in combat: that is a disgusting question to raise. ALL of our people in the Armed Services are heroes. They are joining and often risking their lives for our country. McCain is a hero because he agreed to go into combat in the first place. If you bothered to actually educate yourself about the candidate, you'd realize that McCain did some very heroic things during his service, on top of getting shot down. Things that I doubt you would ever do. So Obama keeps criticizing McCain for running negative ads and dirty campaigns. He stooped to that level.

It's hardly mudslinging. Mudslinging would be attacking his character for leaving his severely injured first wife for a younger richer blonde. That would be negative, true and revealing, but negative. Or maybe we could just recall McCain's answer to those struggling w/ mortgages..."get a second job and take less vacations".
