McCain is dirty. He has taken money, sweet heart land deals, and vacations, plane rides and a variety of other perks from Charles Keating. McCain is an immoral philanderer. He stole Carol McCain from another navy man, cheated on her throughout their marriage both before the Nam and especially after when she wasn't so pretty. McCain is a failure, he has only one accomplishment to sell to America and the ultimate performance evaluation for naval aviators is being shot down - read fail!. McCain is the political spawn of a liar. Duke Tully was the publisher of the Arizona Republic, and the person who shaped McCain's war hero persona he too was a hero in his eyes, he bragged about all his heroic exploits in Korea and all the medals he's earned. Newsflash-he was never in the military.
McCain has never earned or worked or done a thing on his own in his life that someones daddy, his or Cindy's got for him.

McCain WILL BRING BACK THE DRAFT. THIS WILL COME OUT IN THE DEBATES AND WHEN IT DOES Barack Obama will be the President.

L E S K O——W R I G H T——A Y E R S——H A M A S—- F O R —–

O B A M A ! ! !—–dare you to print it

Here goes a man who want to become future president do not know how many houses he own. wow….that is not a shocker, most people failed to realize that Mccain is just another rich man who do not care about your suffering.

" America people should go get second job to pay their mortgage, there will be no money for them"
That meant their housing forclosure issues is not cause by mortgage lender, it is cause by ordinary people who were deceived into getting houses.
Obama campaign are not doing a good job pointing out McCaflip flipper mispeak or wrong tactice.
There are lots of tools for the Obama campaigns to use but they have failed to utilize them.

Obama is criticized when he doesn't respond and if he does, if only the scrutiny the media puts on Obama was focused on McCain it would be over. The Obama 'negative' adds are factual and not lies and stuff completely made up like the repugs use. There is a big difference people.

Anyone who believes John McSame would do a better job of the economy than Obama is either (a) wealthy (b) stupid or (c) living in a parallel universe…

Exactly how much more war do you think this country can take? Are endless tax cuts for the rich in the best interest of the country? How much more outsourcing of jobs will there be until nothing is left of America except a big garage sale?

Alice in Florida is a racist pig and an obvious PUMA, Obama hit a nerve with this ad. Get used to it sweetie. Its just the beginning.
The gloves are off

Obama 08′

Justin, Obama does not have the built to put or take any gloves on or off for gosh sakes, he is as weak as his politics. Not to be snide, but truth is truth. Its Michelle who has the built and nastiness to do the punching, now her I can believe she can, she is nasty.

McCain wants to reinstate draft - male/female.

Have any kids? Grandkids? Want them in IRAN?

You can bet Illinois has sealed, destoryed or Eliminated anything to do with obama.

Making people aware of the truth about John McCain is a good thing.

The truth makes you free, (John McShame is bound up) according to John McCain who stated at Saddleback that he would call upon Sen Lewis, a person who is a colleague in the Senate, but yet they don't conversate. How hyprocitial could he be, first of all in the front of God and a worldwide audience.

Also, why would you go to the gates of hell, when the Word of God says the "The gates of hell will not prevail" Seems to me that John McCain wants to do some hot and flaming traveling.

Of course we alreday heard about Tony Rezko and Ayers in the Primary and it just doesn;t work and won't be effective now. John McCain can play out of the Clintons playbook, but you can't teach an old dog new tricks!

My my, looks like we struck a GOP nerve. Good to see the right wingers and PUMA crybabies on the defensive.

As I read it, CNN is the one who needs to check their facts since it is their writer who give the affiliation, not Rogers.

Grasping … at … straws…

Why do Americans think that we need an old president? Hillary is 60 and MCain is 71. Could we please elect someone that might have some new ideas? Look my Fellow Americans, have you noticed that the death rate seems to be claiming a lot more well known people lately? it's time out for playing games. if you want to play political games then go to Russia and try it there, or better yet go to North Korea and try it there. How can you be a Hillary supporter voting for MCain? What kind of sick twisted drugs are you on?

Time to take the Republican nerds to the woodshed.

we all know worst of McCain and in this campaign we have witnessed worst of McCain in his negative ads. he has been vicious like a pit bull. he hardly discussed any issue , only raved all along his false superior qualification in foreign policy and over all qualification to be the president of the USA and false negatives about Mr.Obama trying to portray him disqualified for the office. But the reality is if one puts side by side there is no contest ( Obama wins in all counts).

when someone wants to take the country into war for personal reason or for no reason or falsifying reasons or at the drop of a hat sending unthoughtful way hundreds of thousands of American young men and women crippling many of them for rest of their lives, spending billions of dollars of tax payers money ( eventually of course these money finding their way to the deep pockets of the politicians and their big business friends who manages the business side of the war ) thousands of young people dying fighting such war and John McCain who himself was captured and tortured by enemy force once in such a war now wants to follow the same policy presenting his war experience as the most qualifying degree for foreign policy expert , once wanted to continue a 100 yr war in Iraq, still venting out war cry for a cold war from time to time is not on our, the COMMON peoples
side. we the common people , at least understand this much.

how he can be that reckless when he has so much of baggages, personal and political , be so negative. once when i did not know much about him , i admired him as a hero , respected him as a ver honest, straight shooter politician man . except for still I admire him as a hero , rest of the feeling vanished. s who
in contrast all along Obama remained so decent and civil carrying positive message and hopes for the common folks like us . but this degree of nicety and civility may make the him loose the race and hopes and dreams of so many common , decent , fair minded , non prejudiced, educated , hard working , god fearing Americans for a more prosperous , peaceful future will vanish (talking about vanishing dreams ). perhaps now Obama cannot afford to be that nice and continue business as usual and it is about time time tell all the truth.
be truthfully negative. only the truth.

Why has no one mentioned McCain's lying about a cross on the ground as it was clearly stolen from a book and can be easily proven. CNN can do this in a New York second but they won't because they are biased against Obama.

Joey August 21st, 2008 5:09 am ET

Oh please. You Dem's try as hard as you can. You won't discredit McCain. He is a honest man that will not, nor never take the low road. Obama cares about one thing, and one thing only…. Please…Look at his wife….Need i say more. Be really careful who u vote for. think very hard. Don't just jump on the band wagon. Think of are country….. McCain is in no way perfect. But he's a lot better than some newbie coming on the seen. One November 4, do the right thing. In your hart. vote the right way…….

DUDE, HOW ABOUT YOU LEARN HOW TO SPELL. IF JOHN BOY WAS SO HONEST, THEN WHY DID HE LIE TO HIS CURRENT WIFE ABOUT HIS AGE? WHY DID HE CHEAT ON HIS CRIPPLED WIFE? YOU SAY JOHN WOULDN'T TAKE THE LOW ROAD. UHHH WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN LIVING, IN A CAVE WITH OSAMA? BECAUSE HAVE YOU NOT SEEN HIS LAME ATTACK ADS? ISN'T JOHN MCSAME THE SAME PERSON WHO SAID HE WOULD NOT TOLERATE NEGATIVITY IN HIS CAMPAIGN. OBAMA HAS SAID IT TOO BUT WHEN YOU KEEP GETTING ATTACKED YOU CAN'T STAND THERE AND NOT DO ANYTHING. TO VOTE FOR MCCAIN WILL BE VOTING FOR THE SAME OLD POLITICS AS USUAL - LITERALLY. MCCAIN IS TOO OLD SCHOOL AND WILL NEVER GET THE BLACK OR HISPANIC VOTE AND HE NEEDS THOSE RACE GROUPS TO WIN AND SINCE HE VOTED AGAINST MAKING MLK A FEDERAL HOLIDAY, HIS CHANGES ARE VERY SLIM.

OBAMA/CLINTON 08 OR OBAMA/SIBILUS 08

Thank God!!! The Republicans ARE NOT IN CANADA

CNN Great show on “Obama and McCain Revealed”
Better than any debate.
You can see now why unionist and the average person supports Obama and big business supports McCain.
No question about it!! This a battle between the “people and money”

McCain and the Repubs have a new version of

“for the people by the people”

republican code for

“for the Rich by the Republicans”

I hate to tell you this but your government is a bit corrupt and only serves "party" self interest - so much for true democracy…

Average people in America should be more selfish and demand more of their government. I don’t know if Obama can change it - BUT - I certainly wouldn’t be voting Republican given their track record.

The best to you my friends – I really think you are in trouble!

Just another filp flop from the LEADER OF CHANGE…NOT.

Mc Cain is too long in politics so he had to lie a lot. Such people don´t remember their lies any more. Give him a retirement in his houses (how many ??) but not in the White House.

August 21st, 2008 8:09 am ET

What happened to his promise to run a different campaign??? Is the pot calling the kettle black—REZKO!!!! Politics as usual. This 32 year old, college educated Democrat still hopes Hillary's name will be put in nomination at the DNC

————————–

You PUMAs should be really careful on how you throw stones.

"As Hillary Clinton continues to insist that she has "no relationship" with shady indicted real estate investor Tony Rezko, the facts seem to indicate otherwise.

According to records, Rezko donated $15,000 to the Democratic National Committee in March 2000. At the time, the committee was helmed by longtime Clinton ally Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, who endorsed Hillary Clinton on Wednesday. While it's possible that Rendell and the Clintons discussed neither the donation nor the donor, it's not likely."

For all of you out there who are throwing whatever you can to see if it sticks regarding Senator Obama - don't you think that if there was anything really devestating to him, we'd have already heard it? I mean really, Hillary Clinton WANTED to be president and would have done anything she could have to make that happen, but she couldn't because there was nothing to find.

For all of you out there calling Senator Obama a liar, please provide links or citations because just saying something doesn't make it so.

Senator McCain's record is there and clear. His campaign is being run by paid lobbyists who are being paid as lobbyists even as they run his campaign. This is not just a conflict of interest, it is blatently unethical.

I am so sick of this campaign. I am also tired of the negative ads. I see somebody wrote that Americans love the negative stuff. Thats whats wrong with this country because we elect people who are "negative" and don't care about the needs of the American people. It's like a game show that keeps going onand on. I pray that this country can come together and unite as a strong nation UNDER GOD!

No more Mr. nice guy. Swift boat the Maverick with the truth. You have 26 years of his word and voting to get him on. We have already had 7 years of an underachieving dunce, we don't need another. Even if McCain is trying to pull a fast one by floating the one term idea. One term would make him even more dangerous, once in he has nothing to lose and the cowards in congress won't impeach or sanction him.

Everytime McCain opens his mouth he puts his foot in. Now he agrees with a draft to follow Osama to the gates of hell. Guess whose children will be first ? So go ahead America play with your children's and grandchildren's future. Canada is returning deserters, so that won't be an option.

I keep wanting to believe in McCain, but then this stuff comes up and I feel like I'm being duped again by the same jerks who have run this country into the ground for the last eight years.

And that business about him not knowing how many homes he owns. Come on, who doesn't know how many homes he has? If he really is that out of touch with his own finances, there's no way I can trust him with America's.

Yes, Obama should go there, if it going to get some democrats in trouble so be it. Enough of these rich old people in Washington. They should let the younger generation take over the leadership of this nation, after all it's our time lead. These old focks both democrats and republicans should go home a play with their great grand children and leave this nation to us

Well Nya, sorry to say but we have to vote for someone. Obama talks the straightest of the two. If you follow politics then you know that the Republican Party has used lies and manipulation and money to control America for nearly 30 years. When it comes to supporting American institutions you can't support John McCain! He thinks Social Security is an outrage, he believes that war is the way of the world and should always be threatened. He believes that tax cuts for altra rich is a worthy cause. So Nya, if we don't compare their faults and positives then what do we do? Just listen to the squak box polititions and corporate heads that tell halftruths all day , over and over on Cable? Do you realize that you pay for cable and because of that, they can lie their heads off, legally, because you pay for it! Want to help our country,, cancelle Cable TV and watch what happens. I have called for a boycot of cable tv for about10 years now. All Cable TV. Since there is little to no regulation of online media news shows. You pay for the lies and that is the way they get away with the propaganda. Think about it!
Because you pay for it!

mccain threw the first stones!!!!!!!

I get so tired of this, they are like two monkeys in a zoo flinging poo at each other… no wonder barack Hussein obama polls are tanking… just get to your pointsand stick with them, I have no idea even by reading what these two stand for… Id would rather vote for Mickey Mouse, he has more going for him

Nya "Like the pot calling the kettle black"??????

This is an Obama supporter who doesn't know that this figure of speech has a racist history?

How dumb ARE the Obamatons?

Well what a surprise, the big O going negative again.

In his previous elections that he won, rather than discussing issues he got rid of signatures that weren't in cursive writing, and then in another he made sure private divorce papers were opened.

I really feel sorry for you who believe that he is actually different. He is not. This is good old fashioned Chicago politics.

I am simply not voting for President this year, for the first time in the 31 yrs I have been eligible to vote. I'll be at the polls to vote for a democratic Senator for my state, but will be skipping the Presidential part of the ballot.
It's become apparent to me in the last few months that we are all fooling ourselves if we think what an individual feels in this country re: the presidential election means a stinking thing. The media decides who becomes president. I'm not playing anymore. This has become the United States of ABC<NBC<CBS<FOX&CNN.

This comment won't run anyway. I've posted over 40, and none ever has… again, the media runs it all.

Susan - Obama was 8 years old when this man Ayers did what he did.

Yes, but Ayers is 'unprepentent' about what he did and wished he had done more.

Obama went to his home on the eve of launching his political career to garner support from Ayers, who has some swing with radical liberal politics in Chicago. He also served on a community committee with him for years and called him a 'friend'.

BUT…Obama says we can't ask him questions about that. How friggin convenient! NICE PICK DEMS!!!!!

By the way, isn't it interesting that they're talking about Obama's judgment when they lack much of the same? There's always semantics and hair-splitting when it comes to Republicans. That's why all your kids are being shot to death in this phony war on terror. Only an idiot like Bush could tell us bin Laden did this and then go after a man who's name is pronounced 'Sad-dam Hus-sein'.

McCain has a BIG Catholic problem. His alliances with openly anti-catholic groups has tainted his entire campaign. Catholics should not vote for this man!

There is a poster (VLK) that says if Obama is elected this will no longer be "our" country. I would like to know what is meant by "our". The last time I checked Obama is just as American as John McCain, why the catastrophic prediction if Obama is elected? Is this just racial for you? That mentality is exactly how we wound up with George Bush who is the worst president in the history of the US.

The truth has a well known liberal bias so by all means Obama should tell the truth about McCain's behavior and policies. It is to Obama's advantage that given McCain's long checkered past he doesn't have to make anything up, and given Obama's gift for words he won't have to "sound negative" to be effective.

"Freddy Bartholomew August 21st, 2008 3:00 am ET

Good on you, Obama! Time to come out swinging. Show the Republiscum they don't have a monopoly on slime."

You're right, Freddy - the Republicans are really dumb. But they have met their match with you! The Democrats are FULL of slime!

This has GOT to be a joke posting! Even Democrats aren't this stupid!

To all of you who will refuse to vote for Obama in this election, we will not forget that if and when Hilary decides to run! Remember, that knife cuts both ways.

You are blaming the wrong person for Clinton's defeat — how about pointing to Penn and the rest of her team. They had no strategy after Super Tuesday, not even enough money! How is that Obama's fault?

Huh, I thought Obama was all about a new kinda of politics, all about change ? Guess I was wrong, or else perhaps he is just flip-flopping again. Hillary is starting to look really good about now.

*LOL* The Obama campaign is already running out of ideas! They already tried this attack ad and McCain GAINED in the polls and continues to do so. I guess six degrees of Kevin Bacon isn't enough to sway independent voters, Obama.

Just WAIT till McCain busts out the Tony Rezko and Jeremiah Wright attack ads… you know, people who Obama actually KNEW and trusted with his family.

LOL, so much for Obama's new "positive" politics! Same old Washington campaign tactics. I knew he was a phony from the start. This is change we can believe in? What a joke.

Going negative against John McCain is fair play. Republicans need to stop their whining about it.

CNN you seem to be in the MCain colum now…where's the news about him not knowing how many houses he own? Every time he does/say's something crazy, you seem to look the other way…I uesd to rely on CNN for adequate jornalisim but not as much any more

Go Obama. It's time to show the world and John Sidney McCain what happens when you back a tiger against the wall!!

By the way, isn't Sidney the name of that baboon they found in the woods?

Again, can someone please explain to me how it's "dirty politics" to ask if a man just because he's popular can lead a nation? If we asked that questions 8 years ago, would we be in the mess today?

This ad is the equivalent in this campaign of slapping someone that just beat you in the face with a tire iron. Obama is going to have to hit back or watch the American people get scared into voting for 4 more years or Republican destruction, domestic and foreign.

Obama '08

Quick question-
How does someone who seems so certain that life begins at conception tell us so casually that he might pick a pro-choice VP? as well say "I might pick a murderer for my VP." I'm sorry, but this is one issue that you can't pander about, or try to play both ways. If you feel as strongly about the issue as McCain seemed to at the Saddleback forum, then you don't even consider picking a pro-choice VP. I think I smell some pandering going on…

Bottom line- McCain is NOT a true Republican. This is a guy who has expressed interest in joining the Democratic Party on several occasions, and even cozied up to John Kerry to be considered as his VP.

The man IS an American Hero, but he also has numerous affairs when he cheated on his first wife, who waited for him faithfully for five and a half years while he was in Vietnam. And these weren't one night stand affairs, they were long running affairs lasting over a year. And when McCain was restationed by the Navy, he found a new mistress in the new location! In fact, He filed for a marriage license in Arizona to marry Cindy before his divorce from his first wife was even final! Is this the man that evangelicals want carrying the torch for family values?

Bill Ayers is NOT a professor at the University of Chicago, but at University of Illinois at Chicago. That is a ridiculous error and the McCain camp should be ashamed. It wouldn't have taken much research to figure this out…

If my "going negative" CNN, you mean telling the truth, then yes, that is what Obama is doing. It's about time too. I'm 100% for changing the way politics is run in the country, but it's not going to change overnight. Especially when your running against a 72 yr old man who's been doing politics the same way for 30 years.

OBAMA '08

There's a LOT to "go negative" on against Senator McCain. But to Senator Obama's campaign's credit, at least they're not flat out lying about their opponent, like Senator McCain's campaign is!

McSame is always attacking Obama on his patriotism. Mcsame thinks that because he was stupid enough to get shot down and caught and lame enough to have numerous affairs on his wife and tactless to the point where he was dating Cindy McLame while he was still living at home with his first wife, that this makes him more American than Obama. I do not respect McLame as a man first of all and as an ex- Marine myself, I am losing respect for McLame as an American. BHO is simply the best American Man for the job at this juncture up against JM. We have to let go of our ego and vote for the best American Man for the job. Vote for Obama 08 and 2012.

I hope he doesn't go too negative. Let the negative people flock to McCain - if they are still the majority, then this country will get what it deserves.

Tony:

So much for taking the highroad, and not going negative.

Same old politics as usual. I guess change was too much to hope for.
______________________________________________________Tony - here is the message - your guy McCain is a lying, crooked, adulterer, who will say anything to win.

We are going after him big time!

Stop crying!

I thought Obama was supposed to be different?

It's about time. We can play 'nasty ball' too. After months of negative attacks by McSame, we need to respond in tone

I just know one think if Obama is smart enough and and pick Hillary Clinton as his VP, he can win the presidency, is ridiculous that we are on the end of August and is only a couple pints ahead of McCain on some polls and tie on some other polls when he sure be ahead with double digits, If he doesn't pick Hillary Clinton he can forget about winning , the Democratic people still very divided and Obama can loss easy with McCain if he pick up somebody also then Hillary, his political carrier will be over if he loss the elections

Could Sen. Obama's extreme position on abortion end up being the nail in the coffin for his presidential chances?

I WOULD NEVER VOTE FOR an INEXPERIENCED SOCIALIST LIKE OBAMA, PERIOD.

it's bad for my business.

Obama shouldn't go there. He's got way more skeletons in his closet than McCain. Bill Ayers and Rev. Wright to name a few.

McCain was only cited for poor judgement in the Keeting Five hearings. They had no grounds to charge him with anything beyond that. In fact, his experience from the Keeting Five lead him to create the McCain-Feingold Act shortly thereafter in hopes of cleaning up Washington. I believe it is safe to say McCain learned a lot from the Keeting Five incident and as such, the Obama campaign is very unlikely to gain ground with this.

I seem to recall a sex scandal conspiracy not too long ago attacking McCain that died within a week…

McCain has 100x more baggage than Obama. Rezko doesn't compare to Abramoff + Keating. Keating cost taxpayers billions of dollars in federal bailout, thanks in part to McCain's corruption.

All you folks who support mccain are nothing but irresponsible. Obviously you could care less about the future of your children.
These so called conservatives are nothing but pathetic. Fiscal conservative is nothing but a slogan to them. The primary principal of conservatism is to pay as you go, and not leave a mountain of debts for the next generation. The bible does say that a good steward leaves good inheritance for his or her children and not debt. Under Bush the country is now over 9 trillion in debt. I really pity some of you morons who do not understand the implications of irresponsible governing. Go ahead and vote for mccain who said in his memoirs that he is did not run for president in 2000 because he was patriotic but simply because he just wanted to be president. Go ahead and vote for mccain…MORONS!

Alice in Florida thank you for you highly educated racist opinion. I dont think I could have gotten through the day with out it.

To all those who think Hillary would do better–hahahaha…McCain would be chewing her up and spitting her out. That's HILLARious to even think she would be getting a free ride. The republicans can't stand the Clintons….that's why they're all on here disguised as disgruntled democrats. anyone with half a brain would not vote for McCain if they were seriously behind Hillary. She was 180 degrees away from him on almost every issue.

Hello Alice in FLA, you are just silly, look in the mirror and tell yourself how silly you are.

Don't be dismayed by Obama fighting back with negative ads. John McCain said he would take the high road and not go negative but he lied again. After watching McCain Revealed last night on CNN I find that McCain is a natural born liar. He cheated on his habilatating first wife for years lying to her while seeing Cindy he lied to Cindy about his age,he lied to get a marriage license to marry Cindy before the divorce from his habilatating first wife was final. McCain lie all the time twisting Senator Barack Obama record and plan out of context. Earlier this year McCain denied having an affair with one of his staff members. Did McCain lie about the affair?, did his staff member lie dening the affair? Does McCain lie when flip flooping on all the plans he was once against. What happened for 26 years these plans had no importantance to McCain until he now wants to be President of the United States. McCain, SCARY, SCARY, SCARY!!!!!! I don't believe a word McCain say!!!!

"mccain is maverick"
"straight talk express"
"mccain is honest"

if the neo-cons and loan sharks and war-profiteers repeat the slogans often and long enough,

those slogans just may turn true, you know.

Sweet, tie McCain to Abramoff, then the Repubs can link the Messiah to Rezko who will be sentenced in October. Good job Messiah, keep screwing up dude.

SONGBIRD MCCAIN. COWARD.

OBAMA.08

My friends, truth hurts, doesn't it, McCain? This ad is true whereas, your ads about Obama are completely false and you know it. You were right in comdemning them when Bush implored same tactics against your 2000 white house run. Now, you are shamelessly doing same to Obama. And yet, you pledged to run a clean campaign?

mcshameless: "there is no conflict of interest between me and the lobbyists around me, as my intersts and their interests perfectly coincide."

what a dodo head.
he's never had bearings to lose.
all he ever had was privilege of a family with money and power.

Thomas Jones- Great call. How many people actually know how Obama "won" that election. And campaign reform? Only to go back on that, too.

I am glad the gloves are off, and Mr Lee i think you are crazy, Obama is not a SOCIALIST, the plans he has laid out will be good for America not bad. How did you come across such silly infomation?.

That is why we need change.

Okay so when did this 'terrorist' group bomb the White House and the Pentagon?>>>

FORTY years ago! Next! Don't people believe in second chances and turning your life around?

As Americans we need to gorw up and face the sad truth — all politicans are crooks and they all lie! McCain may be worse — but Obama has his baggage too.

Mccain is bringing out Ayers. Americans know about Ayers. he was never tried and was never convicted. Obama is setting him up for a trap. They will like Amerians to know about Keating 5. Show Mccain when he was being tried. They just want him to try linking Obama to Ayers.

Hey Obama …. pot …kettle … Ayers …. Rezko … Wright …. !

Hey, Repugs started the "play dirty" game with those rediculous adds.
Two can play that game and now repugs are crying "thats not fair"
or "same old politics". Booo Hooo waaaaa!!!
The difference is McCain is going down by the way of substantiated
truth. Not trashy allogations.
McCain is going to look really bad in the end - can't wait.
Obama will be victorious!!
Ignore the polls!!!
Democrats please listen…
Get mad - be tough!!
Fight hard for the truth!!!
Ignore the Main Stream Media-they want this thing to appear close.
As sonn as one rises in the polls, the other will be bolstered by the MSM.
YES WE CAN
YES WE WILL!!

Anyone who comes from Chicago politics has, at some time or another, had "dealings" with less than scrupulous advisors and "friends". Just ask Obama about Tony Rezko. And he has the nerve to suggest there's a connection between Reed and McCain? For those of you who are not familiar with Chicago politics, please read the story about Tony Rezko. Look at what he did for Obama. And while you're at it, read some about the political atmosphere in Chicago. After you read about Chicago politics, and what Obama came from, then make your decision if he's as clean and pure as he claims to be. I encourage everyone to read more about Obama's Chicago ties and his voting history in Illinois. "Mr. Clean" does not exist in politics - not with McCain or any politician.

Looks like a bad year for bumper stickers and yard signs,come on Republicans,you arent scared are you?

I would like to answer the questions of all the people that are questioning why cnn's "investigative team" is not bringing up Mccaine and the Keating 5 Scandal. Since none of you apparently are motivated enough, or smart enough, or care enough to do your own research here it is.

Cnn is not bringing up the Keating 5 scandal because the prosecutor in that case has come out on record saying John Mccaine did nothing wrong. He has come out on record stating that there should have been NO action taken on John Mccaine and that is what he recommended to Congress. The democratic congress at the time included John Mccaine in the censure simply because the other 4 were democrats and they did not want it to be a "democrat scandal".

There you go Obamabots….is there anything else you would like me to research for you while you sit at home collecting your checks?

It's about time someone reminded the American people that McCain represents the SAME OLD POLITICS! I'm tired of sending people to Washington only to have them pad their own pockets, look out for their friends, and get cozy with lobbyists. We need to shake things up in Washington. We need to change how business is done in Washington. We need someone who is there to look out for us, and that is Senator Obama.

pay no attention to the idiot posting under my name, they are truly pathetic.

TO Brooklyn, please be quiet. If you think for one minute Sen Obama's campaign is going to get lied on and misrepresented every day and not hit back, you need to go back to school.

Sen Obama is not going negative, he is stating the truth.

PUMA(fake democrats and cowardly republicans—- the truth hurts does't it. you

For those of you interested in a FACT: The Ethics Committeee CLEARED Senator John McCain of ANY WRONG DOING in the Keating 5 scandal…

The mendacity of hype.

I think it is amazing that Obama has refrained from being negative for so long. Now it has come. Not a surprise. Politics is a dirty game and everyone gets the mud on them. Negativity is inevitable in political campaigns. I am sure that George Washington probably had to dish out some negativity in response to negative attacks on him at the time. Human nature is human nature.
Please United States citizens go out and vote for Christian Obama. He is not a Muslim. Unlike all the Hussein comments above imply. (very sneaky lying republican operatives using a fact and spinning like mad).
The world needs a change. Look at what Bush has managed to get Russia to do. So now you have got Iran, Iraq, and Russia to deal with. Its a good thing that Bush failed to get offside while in China. Maybe that is McCain goal.
Be proud of your country and teach the Republicans a lesson. Republicans stand for all that is wrong with the United States at this time. Voting them back in will see the demise of United States influence as that of China rises.
When the Republicans have been out of power for a decade they will learn the needed lessons.
So vote againts GOP (McCain) vote DEM (Obama) and yes especially Puma people. As soon as u vote republican you are no democrat. A fact. Your choice, but still a fact.

Sadly, I knew this would happen. Obama is the weaker candidate of the Democratics [talking about general election here]. Why else would Rush Limbaugh actually tell republicans to vote for Clinton???? Reverse psychology…..And it worked perfectly. Ugh. Can't believe we are going to end up with john mccain. Obama is going down if flames and not even CNN seems to be able to save 'their boy'

Now that the polls are showing a tie in the race for the White House maybe we can get some balance negative press for McCain. Its time to bring the skeletons out of the closet McCain. And I believe you have a walk in closet!!!!

Bill Ayers methods may have been questionable, but in some ways he was an American hero. He wanted to stop the war, end the unneccesary killing of Vietnamese civillians and American soldiers. Long after the war was over, we realized the folly of the Vietnamese War and that the people like Ayers who spoke out the earliest were the ones speaking the truth. As Dylan said "you don't need a weatherman to show which way the wind blows."

McCain can dish it out, but when it comes to getting it dished backed……different story. And by the way……..it is going to get "hotter" as we move closer to the end.

Remember people what the Bush/Cheney team did to oil prices. Imagine what the McLame/? team will do to your beer prices?

I cannot imagine that Cindy McCains stake in a beer empire will have any impact on your beer prices. Save Beer-Save America-Vote Obama!

Good for you Obama. You tried to be a gentleman but the hits and mockery just kept coming. Now when you defend yourself, the same republicans that called you weak will laugh at the claims of change. Keep up what you are doing. Americans are smart and they won't elect another Bush who is looking to start wars.

McCain can't even say "Let me be clear: I am not questioning his patriotism, I am questioning his judgment" without looking at note cards. Check the video.

He can't give a simple clarification of his own opinion without reading it so he doesn't get it wrong.

What can we expect from a candidate who isn't allowed to speak for his own campaign.

Obama wanted to get rid of the negative politics, but by the looks of it Americans didn't. Every time someone runs a negative add on Obama, he goes down in the polls. Americans just aren't smart enough to look past the old politics and in turn Obama has to talk at their level. If John McCain wins, it will be the end of America as a superpower! We will be on the same level as Russia.

And this Barack HUSSEIN Obama bull. Stop that. He didn't name himself. His parents did. Saddam had nothing to do with it. Continuing predjudices thoughts about someone because of their name is so stupid. You really believe whatever "they" tell you, right. Try investigating for yourselves instead of being led.

By the way, "they" are about to jump off a bridge. Are you ging to join them (being that you're so easily led and all).

Obama started to dig a hole for himself and instead of doing the right thing, he's digging a deeper hole……..sorry that's immaturity.

GOOD! Sen. Obama, wants to keep it civil, BUT…….. reality is that politics in t he USA have been mean-and-nasty for years now. Look at what the "Swift-boaters" did to a hero like, John Kerry!

I say the DNC and Sen. Obama need to go through McCain's 26 years in DC and have ads running about everything he has and hasn't done.

WE need the truth about McCain to get out, because right now all we are hearing is that Sen. Obama is a "rock star that can't lead" ……. BALONEY!

WHAT EXPERIENCE DID BUSH HAVE? HE WAS A GOVERNOR, AND HAD FAILED IN HIS BUSINESSES!

AT LEAST, SEN. OBAMA, CAN PRONOUNCE WORDS IN ENGLISH!
WITH ALL THE EXPERIENCE BUSH-CHENEY-MCCAIN HAVE THEY LIED……….LIED……….TO GET US INTO A WAR WITH A NATION THAT HAD NOT ATTACKED US!

I WILL TAKE INEXPERIENCE ANYTIME, IF THAT'S WHAT EXPERIENCE WILL GET US!

"Why don't you say more about the draft that you are in favor of, huh, John?"

If you are critical of the draft, you should look to your own party, who has introduced legislation to enact the draft? Yep the democrats, Charlie Rangel.

Ralph Reed is a recognized domestic terrorist. Any Christard who promulgates the heretical ideology of hell in opposition to the doctrine of sheol understands neither. When you preach in favoring the belief of a hell, you're spreading fear and terror. Just like any other good terrorist. Ralph Reed (aka Richard Rank) exemplifies the self-righteous bent of the New Right. Now if we could only get a day's honest labor out of him…

What the heck man. Is this some kind of space alien gibberish? Wow!!!

Did we win in Iraq, or is the end in sight? I get confused. There's a lot of that going around.

McCain will say anything to placate the audience he is in front of at any given time. He then goes on to the next audience and contradicts himself, and everyone, including the press, thinks he's just swell.

Get your election coverage from NBC, ABC, CBS, or MSNBC - CNN is no longer in the news business.

Rezko, Ayers, Wright, etc. etc. Obama calling the kettle black is something that will backfire on him.

These pros and cons concerning McCain are interesting if nothing else. The day politicians in this country, including Barack Obama, do not misrepresent their actions and words, will be the day the right to vote will die. But we do have a never-fail mechanism that serves us so well during campaign season — and that's the old standby, "Actions speak louder than words." In the present presidential campaign, we are inundated with words in ads, speeches and debate-like responses which, in some cases, can mislead us when one candidate is blessed with an inborn talent for writing speeches and using the teleprompter. Then there is the one who has been on public display for a quarter-century. This is about the one who has put himself on the line by his votes, his actions for the good of the country, and his personal behavior. When we all remember this, then personal attacks are unnecessary. That's where we are right now. John McCain is no more immoral than is Barack Obama. It's that he's just been around longer, which defines perhaps the most effective campaign word, "EXPERIENCE."

This is so funny, The only dirt the Rethuglicans think they have on Obama is what someone else(Ayers, Wright, Rezko) did. I have yet over the course of this campaign season, heard ONE bad thing that Obama has verbally or physically said.

McCain supporters and PUMA Trash please name one thing bad that Obama has done. You can't.

McCain is honest??? Really? You're serious. It's funny to me how people can keep saying this over and over again. And these same people believe that Obama is the political scum of the earth. Yeah right! Listen to yourselves. They are in the same occupation. It's like the pot calling the kettle black. Both candidates are pointing out the skeletons in each other closets. If your a Republican you're going to vote that way. If you're a Democrat you're going to vote for your candidate. So, let's just stop playing mind games on people (and yourselves) about who's more honest and trustworthy than the other.

Yes, Obama should take off the gloves. There are so many things that McLame should be hit with. One of my favorites is the story of the prison guard drawing a cross in the sand that he copied from Alexandr Solzhenitsyn's book about the Soviet Gulag. It's almost word for word, and McLame never mentioned it in all his writing about Vietnam until 1999 after he read Alexandr Solzhenitsyn and called him a hero. What a liar McSame is! And if you go to you tube and search McCain and POWs you can see what other veterans really think about his pow experience and how much he lied about it.

It won't matter the people already know folks !
Obama eliminated his opponents in Chicago by finding legal technicalities to rid even a good friend of opposing him - you think he's different and for change? I'll sell you an Island off Florida cheap and I'm sure you will fall for that too….
Tom J
Chicago, Il

What about Tom Delay? Tom Delay is a friend of Jack Abramoff and Ralph Reed. Is Tom Delay supporting McCain?

You people achieve nothing by commenting yourselves into further confusion… Nothing is going to change, it never does. Vote for Obama and hopefully the world won't think we're such pieces of crap at least. The day a regular citizen, not a billionaire ex-VP, becomes our President, talk to me then.

I'm going back to sleep.

Obama is a SOCIALIST and his policies would be BAD FOR AMERICA.

Obama will lie and stretch the truth to get elected, but he is INEXPERIENCED AND NOT A LEADR.

Okay so when did this 'terrorist' group bomb the White House and the Pentagon? I don't seem to recall hearing about the White House or Pentagon being bombed in the news and you'd think that's something one would recall. Maybe that's because the McCain campaign is just grasping at wisps in the air again.

There's still time Dems……you can nominate Hillary instead.

There's going to be riot in Denver, I can't wait to watch the hordes of misguided liberals bash each other.

Susan August 21st, 2008 6:13 am ET

Obama was 8 years old when this man Ayers did what he did.

And your point is? All is forgiven?

Do you all think there is no controversy with Obama….HE IS A POLITICIAN, he is a liar and a cheat like the rest of them. He is no different than any of the others.

Still no coverage of McCain either wanting to reinstste the draft or not being able to listen to a rambling question long enough to give an answer that makes any sense.

This guy is as addled as Reagan was at the end of his second term, and the election hasn't even happened yet.

What is the problem CNN,, no link to the commercial? Or was it in your interest just not to print it! Criminal of you to try to manipulate this election. Would you pathetic Faux News Farse like me to email the commercial to you? Biased reporting is the only way CNN and the other fascist phoney News Organizations can have your man John the lier McCain elected,, it won't be forgotten soon CNN.

AND BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA GOT NATION OF ISLAM MONEY FROM FARRAKHAN DISGUISED AND FUNDLED THROUGH REV WRIGHTS CHURCH AND NATION OF ISLAM MEMBER TONY REZKO

SO??

Hey folks, everyone has skeletons ! When we are pointing at others we have three fingers pointing ar ourselves….deserved as well.
Jake Colson

"After a lengthy investigation, the Senate Ethics Committee determined in 1991 that Alan Cranston, Dennis DeConcini, and Donald Riegle had substantially and improperly interfered with the FHLBB in its investigation of Lincoln Savings. Senators John Glenn and John McCain were cleared of having acted improperly but were criticized for having exercised "poor judgment"."

Although McCain was not found having committed any crimes (looking the other way isn't a crime) he was cited for exercising poor judgment! Now he wants to be president?! Straight talk express please…

Obama 08′

I hate to see Obama do this, and move toward the low road, but McCain has practically been playing in the mud on the low road for the last 6 to 8 weeks and it's starting to effect some voters opinions. McCain's bus that was supposed to one of honor, respect and issues has been spinning it's tires in that mud on the lowest of roads for weeks now and American falls for it. This is what's won elections for the last two decades. Creating voter fear in your opponent using the political and social climate at that time. Is it sad? Yes, very sad. Should it be what politicians have to do? No, it shouldn't? Should so much of the American citizens be fooled by all of this and use this type of media to cast their vote? No, but it does. American citizens vote out of fear and emotion faster then they do logic. That's always been true, and the Republicans have a strong track record of generating that fear with their campaigns.

i see the repugs getting jittery.no ones likes the sword wielded in front of them. true true americans dont have time for intellectual curiosity. tell lies lies lies and in america it becomes true.
democrats need to wake up and match the repugs.
can someone take away that note mccain always reads when he is supposed to be speaking from the heart. lets see how much the OLD MAN remembers.
GOD SAVE AMERICA FROM AMERICANS.

You sleep with DOGS, some FLEAS will get on you!

McCAin will put America first.
Some Media faces will be much more red than the other night after the discussion w/Pastor Warren. They found out McCain was smart and forthright as they come.

Why all the vitriol? Would you be willing to reveal ALL your past?
Don't bother to respond…just contemplate your hate….Obama08

Its getting crunch time and the prize is to big to be nice. It is time to air out the laundry and don't hold anything back Obama. McCain has been in politics a long time and he has skeletons it time to look for them. When you announce your running mate that person needs to be an attack dog and someone who is going to spark some interest. Biden is a good choice but it is time to bit the bullet and call on Hillary. The key is to get elected first and worry about managing them later.

Why hasn't CNN posted a ticker article on McCain not disagreeing that we need to reinstate the draft??? This is HUGE news!!

I feel sorry for all those Clinton supporters who would rather vote for McCain.. Agreed that lot of them are either in their menopausal or post-menopausal stage and dont have much use of ther reproductive organs but given how vociferous McCain was against the moderate supreme courts judges during his last interview, it is given that McCain Presidency among other things means appointment of Scalia clones to supreme court and end of Roe versus Wade. These women need to realize what this means for younger women in their family.

Hey Bulldog your statement again is a scare tactic that statement was used against President Bush But after 7 yrs there is still no draft get you facts straight

If you want your children and grandchildren to be drafted in the military to go to war with Iran and Russia and whoever else pisses McCain off then vote for him.

He will institute a new military draft. He was the biggest pusher for the war in Iraq and wants to go to war with Iran and Russia.

Vote for McCain and kiss your children and grandchildren goodbye as they ship off to war.

Hey Bulldog your statement again is a scare tactic that statement was used against President Bush But after 7 yrs there is still no draft get you facts straight

mcain is the adultry expert. HE cheated on his first wife did you forget that. Obama 08,12

Obama I love you, but if you say your willing to fight for this country well now is the time. Its time to bring down these tyrants!!!!!

Obama 08/12

As a matter a fact lets never elect another republican again until they change there GREEDY habits.

According to articles Bill Ayers turned himself in for his crimes in 1980, but the government let him off saying that they did not have enough evidence against him even though he said he did it. Then he works his way up to being a Professor. Articles also state that Ayers introduced Obama to people in Illinois when the Senator was running for the Illinois senate not his running for the White House. At the time Ayers was committing bombings in the 60s Obama was about 7 years old-I do not think that times him in with Ayers and the Weathermen if so the University of Illinois at Chicago is also involved because they hired Ayers.

A Republican whose undecided on who to vote for.

People, people, people! The Keating 5 thing was resolved years ago. There was a year-long investigation into McCain's connection to that, and MCCAIN WAS TOTALLY CLEARED OF ANY WRONG DOING!
If that's all you have, you haven't got much, so get over it.

McCain for president!

… watch out Obama. As they say, "what goes around (negative ad) comes around "(ads about your unsavory dealings in Chicago). Very interesting watching the Obamo Revealed last night. He is one "mean politician". McCain and Hillary all the way.

McCain better get rid of Reed, or it will cost him. McCain is better than that.
James J

Iraqis just set a TIMETABLE for US withdrawl. Reality once again proves Obama right, tough guy talk from Mccain wrong. How many times are we going to let this happen until we figure out who's the real one with the judgment to lead?

Mccain can talk about following bin Laden "to the gates of hell" all he wants, but the reality is bin Laden was never in Iraq. He's on the Afghanistan/Pakistan border, the place Mccain chastised Obama for suggesting we attack. Tough talk is not reality.

McCain = Reed/Abramoff/Keating 5/Adultery/blonde bimbette lobbyist. To you McCainiac Rethuglians: what goes around, comes around. Welcome to the new reality of tit for tat political hardball!!!! Bring it on!!! I would rather my candidate have a relationship with an outspoken minister than a gangster lobbyist now in fedral prison for corruption and bribery.

McCain was cleared re the Keating scandal. His wife lost a ton of money because she had money in that bank…..who is the person that claims he was involved in making money? God what next?
Obama's good friends are, or were:
Wm Ayers (terrorist)
Rezko (convicted criminal involved in fraud re Chgo politics)
J Wright (pretend Christian who has friends who are terrorist such as the leader of Lybia) Murdered how many people in PAN Am 103 over Scotland
He studied Malcom X and those kinds of people
Went to Columbia Univ (Marxist teaching personified)
Obama did throw his grandmother under the bus for saying "if she saw a group of black kids she was scared"….wow was she ever bad person. He apologized later I must say.
I THINK MCCAIN WOULD PUT AMERICA BEFORE HIMSELF FOLKS.
Obama might do the same if he has about 10-15 add'l years of experience in life and understands that power and money are not that important. He loves the "stage".
Elaine Johnson

I feel very sorry for those that have fallen under the Obama spell. At times it has been frustrating, other times very sad that so many have been so fooled. The saddest part is that if by some stretch of the imagination this man would make it into office, he will destroy this country as we know it.

I'm not a republican, I would have loved for my party to have presented a candidate that would pull this country out of the trouble we find ourselves in, but they did not do so. They chose to put Obama in the forefront and in doing so I cannot in good conscience vote my party in this election.

McCain is far from perfect but he is not the dangerous animal that Obama is and I am willing to risk McCain whereas risking Obama in the office makes me physically ill.

To those that say, "Obama might have to take off his gloves", surely you are you kidding, Obama's gloves have been off from day one. Out of one side of his mouth he touts being above all that, out of the other side flows the negative attacks. His hands have been cold for a long time.

well, mccain started it. he's been running negative ads for about a month now. they're not even about anything real "oo he's too popular" for example. obama tried to hold back, but it was starting look like a swift boat operation, with karl rove at the helm of mccains campaign spreading his smears. this after mccain said he wanted a "civil debate on the issues"

Well let see BIG O, your connections with Rezko, Ayers, Wright, not to mention your shady same old politics way you won your first seat in IL. I believe if I had been O's team I would have walked away from this ad. Well I guess I'm just one of those so called BITTER Hillary Clinton fan, or do I just read the NEWS.

About time someone called him on this. Our country needs some help. How can people love a man who cheated and left his wife and kids when she was in poor health. The Rep. base is shameful.

OH YEAH. HOW ABOUT THE KEATING5MCBUSH. SEE HOW ALL THAT RUNS TOGETHER.

Wow. Desperate Obama?

the media do not have cojones such as national enquirer is coming another scandal which is half brother barack hussein obama eating lizards and frogs in africa while barack is promising american a better live! he does not care about his grandmother in uganda because is black such his half brother!

OBAMA 08!!

Well, my hatz off to john king! He had the nerve to air the truth about Obama & MCain. I wonder what the religious right thinks about McCain now, that the info is out on why he left his wife & most important, how & why he left her! At least john edwards did not leave his wife. Yeah, Right, some MAVERICK!

His wife stood by him in prison for 5 years but when she was in an accisdent and wasn't pretty any more he left what does that tell you about his character

What does Farakhan have to do with this, he has his view and that does not mean that Obama thinks the same way . Please do yourself a big favor stop thinking that all Black people think same.

OH YEAH. HOW ABOUT THE KEATING 5 MCBUSH.

GO OBAMA. HIT BACK WITH THE TRUTH. NOT SOME MADE UP JUNK LIKE MCBUSH/MCSAME.

OBAMA ALL THE WAY!!!!!!

McSame is one of the birds. Check his feathers and you will see that they all look alike. Ten homes and counting. Most of us have more a common with Obama than Mcsame. Who just got finished paying for their student loan? Obama. Mcsame has a home in every part of the country and may have more around the world. How many of you can say that. Obama's friends pay grades are closer to ours than most of McSame's too. So who do you think feel your pain the most. Obama.
Obama08

Listen, we know who Obama is. We know what he stands for. If you don't then do your research and stop complaining that you don't know who is. If you have the aptitude of learning how to tie your shoe's then I don't think "The audacity of hope", or the documentary that CNN is running will be too hard to take in. Politics, unfortunately is a game of strategy with big reward for digging up dirt. If Obama has to go negative it doesn't mean that his agenda isn't about change. His entire life is based on change and the greater good for the people. He has to do what it takes to get in. I'm sure you working folks know what that means.

OBAMA 08

By time Democratics fight bk the people have no idea what scandels he have

This is a perfect example of CNN's biased reporting. "Negative ads" when released from Obama's camp. "Contrast ads" when released by McSenile. Let's not forget Cindi McoCain's stunts, either…

1988 TV Presidential Ad Guess who ?

Narrator: The White House isn't the place to learn how to deal with international crisis, the balance of power, war and peace, and the economic future of the next generation. A President has got to know the territory, but that's not enough. To win the White House, the Democratic nominee had better have a crystal clear vision of what the Democratic Party stands for. Joe Biden sees the Presidency as a pulpit from which America sets an example for the world. He believes that developing nations once saw America as more than a place; they saw us as an idea; A goal to reach for. He knows that they've lost confidence in us; that they see us losing our way; our resolve; our ideals. Joe Biden thinks it's time to remind the world of what America stands for. Freedom. Equality. Justice. Opportunity. He thinks it's time to put courage over compromise. Time to express America's outrage once again towards repression, brutality, violence, the abuse of human dignity around the world, and if the sparks fly, so be it…

The first part of the ad states "The White House isn't the place to learn" this was a reference made to Jessie Jackson who was running for President. (Today that would be Obama) The 2nd part is no differrent then what obama says about our country today 20 years later. Wow what a sad statement this isn't change its the Democratic party line. "Joe Biden for President 1988″

Anthony Landaeta Jr

Sounds like the Obama campaign will do and say just about anything! The mudslinging continues on both sides with a little more desperation on the Obama side. Why is that? This Democrat has heard little good from the Obama camp! I guess I will be voting Republican!
