CNN

Yeah, regardless of experience, who is going to be the most coherent when woken up at 3 am? Not the 72 year old man. They'd be lucky if they could even wake him up in time to deal with a fast paced crisis that early in the morning.

Since Republicans usually hate everything about Hillary Clinton, these ads are just spin, trying to butter up those still faithful to Hillary.
But Republicans are wasting their time trying to woo Hilary's supporters. A Democrat who'd vote for McCain over Obama simply on the Hillary issue is not a true Democrat at all. Democrats are not one issue people like some Republicans are. Any Dem with half a brain (which is half more than most Republicans) realizes that McCain is a 180 from Hillary.

I'm a Hillary supporter and now I'm both a Hillary supporter and an Obama supporter. These Republican ads aren't fooling me. It'd be like if the Dems dug up Bush's old ads against McCain in the 2000 primaries. Do you think Republicans would fall for that?

If either of the Clintons have any modcum of decency, they'd be very, very ashamed of themselves right now!

Imagine, you are a stalwart leading member of the Democratic Party but you are the featured star in the last four ads by the Republicans.

But then, the Clintons have no shame! None!

Sending text messages and going on vacation in Hawaii won't keep us safe here at home. We can thank John McCain for his quick response to the Georgia-Russia Crisis.

Hillary ran negative ads and lost the nomination or could not win it. This John McCain would want to have a go at anything that has failed including George Bush's policies.

McCain fear mongering will not work this time. We are aware of his tricks and prepared to counter them. Good try, John, but the lawn needs mowing on one of your eight houses.

I can't believe this republicans, they think putting fear in the American public will elect McCain to the white house. This is sure a dirty game and republians claim to care for the people? I feel very sorry for this country, a country blessed by God but dirty old and selfishness politicans are bringing this conuntry down. This is so sad........... The country is not the same and these fools are so happy in destroying it. But I have a message for you self destructing evil does. Man is man but God is God..... You keep destroying the other person because God has the final say. Also bear in mind that what you do today will affect all of us including all your children. The evil that men do live after them. God bless Obama because the more McSame and republicans attack him. The more God keep blessing him and lifting him up. People go back to the bible and see how God used orginal people with no experience in a might way. Bush and his company had experience, where is the country today? People be careful for what you ask for? Bush and McCain claim to be christians but they are worst than ever non believers.

These guys are the anti-christ be used by the devil. People look around and see all the signs just like the book of Revelations stated. The devil promote fear and that's what the republicans are doing to the America people. How sad.....

Personally,
I think Hillary and her pack of PUMA's are closet Republicans.

This is the beginning gof the political game. They all use dirty tactics who ever throws the most dirt will win. This is going to be fun.

I can't wait till January 20th. Big party happenin'. Fireworks, several kinds of Texas beer and two pigs slow cookin' in honor of bush/cheney. After that I'll worry about that 3am jive. Maybe.

Ask any question to McCain and the response is:

I AM POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW

I need to use this space (no other space has been provided) to register my deep disappointment with CNN's coverage last night. I'm not sure how a network can criticize the Democrats for not staging effective television or not providing a message in its speeches when it did not even show the speeches themselves and instead talked right through them. This coverage is even more confounding given CNN's recent patting itself on the back for showing extended clips of speeches so that voters could make up their own minds on the candidates. Put aside how insulting it is to suggest we voters need to be told by the media that we can decide for ourselves, the convention coverage then went right ahead and framed the night as a wasted opportunity for Democrats without actually giving us the chance to decide for ourselves. Someone will have to explain to me how this is an example of the "best political team on television."

Lets face it. Hillary was right. He is inexperienced.
And if Hillary had won the nomination... McCain would be using Obama's words and commercials to his gain.

She has denounced the commercials. There's nothing any politician can do about it. This isn't the first time this has happened.
And it won't be the last. Wait until the RNC has their convention.
BHO will be doing the same thing. Putting out negative ads during it.

How come CNN always streams EVERY Mccain ad. And we only get to read Obama's.

SHAME OF YOU CNN.

And btw, just like my ALL other posts, I am confident this one will not be posted too. LOSERS!!!

It was a Democratic primary fight. If you can't stand the heat... You can blame Clinton but I would hope Obama knows how to fight this. This is nothing compared to what the President will face with China or Russia. You want Clinton Democrats to stop whining. Perhaps you should do the same about how unfair or damaging these ads were/are. Get over your high and mighty elitist selves.

Obama - or more likely, a 527 group - should run a 3 p.m. add about John McCain...in which John McCain is shown snoozing under a blanket on a rocking chair on the White House veranda taking his afternoon nap.

How is it that McCain is running on the notion that he's going to bring a different administration in than what we've had the last 8 years, and before he's even in office he's preaching the same "be afraid – be very afraid" scare tactic/control message?

Nobody sees that? Or is everyone just looking for an excuse to rally behind imperialism?

Is it me, or does CNN replay McCain's campaign ads over and over again as "news"? I guess the more outrageous and controversial the campaign ad, the more likely CNN will replay it – thus resulting in free airtime for McCain. CNN is becoming more of a McCain mouthpiece than Fox "News".

I'm glad others have noticed that when McCain comes out with an ad, CNN provides the actual video. But for Obama, it's just a still-shot. I swear, CNN, get it together! I've been a loyal CNN supporter, but I'm beginning to sense a lack of objectivity and fairness. I have no problem going elsewhere for my news...

Just wait until the National Terror Level is raised in October. The last time it was raised was in the months leading up to last presidential election.

McCain revived the ad...

WHO will revive the cryptkeeper? He is too old!!

The McCain crowd are way beyond pathetic, and SCARED!
At 3 am in the morning, McCain will most likely not even be able to figure out which house he is snoring asleep in and whether or not there's a phone somewhere.

If the USA chooses these kind of people to non-govern for a third time in a row, it will cut an even more sorry figure than it already does.

If a call comes at 3 AM if shoot-from-the-hip McCain is in the White House we have problems. This guy wanted to invade Iraq just after 9/11, way before the WMD lies were developed by Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld. How fast would he be to send in young men & women before using judgement and diplomacy to avoid conflict. Fast enough that we would need to reinstate the draft.

Fear Factor – Cmon people but America safety first and those that lost their lives on 9-11. The threat is real like it or not we need to protect our selves from another 9-11.

Registered Democrat and a true American.

Just like her husband, Hillary does not consider the consequences of what she does. It was a very ugly fight she waged against Barack and now it has come back to haunt every democrat

Let's talk about what Clinton has said about McCain.

It's so dishonest because they don't tell you that US aggression has created so much of the "uncertainty" and "radicalism" that we now face. McCain's policies will serve to increase these problems, just as W's policies have. This ad would be funny if it didn't work on some weak-minded, fearful people. Hey, sheep, wake up, you're lined up to be fleeced again.

US Journalism 1776-2001 RiP...pathetic partisan babble now.

More cheap shots by the McCain campaign to sway the weak minded people. After eight (interesting?) years and a current economy that is horrific I wonder if McCain is ever going to talk about his ideas to fix this mess. He probably won't because he can't.
If I had a wife worth 100 million I wouldn't care much about the economy either! Instead you will hear more about Paris Hilton/Rev Wright/Rezko/Flag Pin/ anything but an important issue/etc...
It took 8 years but I learned my lesson,
Obama/Biden 08/12
and Hillary Clinton in the cabinet of course!

Andt there are still "Hillary Supporters that STILL don't understand why she could NOT be VP! Hillary has done so very much to destroy this election for Obama words can not express just how repulsive she has become to the American people.

She and "her supporters" had better hope she fixes this in some way therewise she is through. McSame did not have a platform to stand on against Obama other than the one Hillary gave him! And the nerve of them even thinking she is owed ANYTHING than a slap in the face, well she ALL that she meant to hurt Obama is and will backfire in her face!

SHE HAD BETTER SAY SOMETHING MORE THAN "I SUPPORT OBAMA AND YOU SHOULD TOO!"

Should McCain become President, his agression towards the rest of the world will get get U.S. cities bombed. Millions will die under his administration. He will devistate our country and the world with his war monger policies.

Enjoy your time with your children.

I dont get what the big deal is, she said it, they used it and now shes like OMG THATS JUST NOT RIGHT, uh no, SHE said it and that is the point

Get this McCain Campaign Fear and smear ads will not get you elected President.
Better start dealing with the real issues affecting Americans .
McCain your a loser and so so is your campaign .
I am voting for Obama Hope over fear anyday.

(sarcastic clapping...)

Way to go Hillary. Way to think ahead. Way to trash the dem nominee and praise the eventual foe.

Are you going to vote out of fear or out of hope?

I vote hope. If I vote fear, I will get fear for the next 4 years.

William Shakespeare once said "the evil that men (women) do, lives after them"
Lesson here – do no evil, say no evil, see no evil, hear no evil.

I hope this is a lesson not just for the Clinton's but for all of us – AMERICANS.

Come on McCain, give us a reason to vote for you. And if Hillary Clinton is so great go ahead and name her as your VP. That way you are guaranteed to get the votes of her supporters. But you believe they are fools, so you only want the votes of her supporters and are not willing to support the issues Clinton stood for. If you are really serious, make Hillary your VP and I will volunteer for your campaign. I won't vote for you though.

This is the problem with partisan politics and why I will never belong to a political party. When Hillary made those comments about McCain and Obama she meant them. But now she is supposed to act nicey-nicey and pretend she supports Obama, "forthe good of the party".

What ever happened to "for the good of the country"!

It is Obamas job to convince the voters he can do better. He has not done that yet

Hey Obama campaign….

How about obtaining some or all of the scumbag Rove's ads from the Bush campaign from back in 2000 where he totally destroyed McCain in the primaries of that year?? And rerunning them or using them now for Obama in 2008??? Then add the final….McCain = Bush. Now that would be…….priceless.

Could someone in the know please forward my suggestion to the Obama people.....thanks !!!

Hello;
No one should be pleased with that add!!! Yes, we all admire McCain for his military service. However, that Does Not equal to the office of President! Senator McCain will only repeat the Republican line. Further, his belief that the nation of Iraq should remain indefinately under our control is totally out of line!!!!!!!!!! Help them finalize that Mistake and get out of their country!! Eight years of that non-sense has been more that enough! Elect Senator Obama for positive change so that we can again be proud of our policies!!!!!!!

McCain will tear Obama apart in the debates. Obama goes to church for 20 years and listens to his preacher down america and now all of a sudden he's running for president and has nothing to do with him. anyone voting for Obama has no sense.

LET THE FEAR BEGIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 08

The Republicans have run this game so long on the American people that they don't even care about being seen right out in the open doing dirt. They know that there are plenty of serfs that will support thier tactics.

How original John McBush! Now I see why you graduated 894 out of 899!

FACT – an American citizen has a better chance of being struck by lightning twice than being physically harmed by terrorism.

FACT – the #1 cause of bankruptcy among Americans is medical costs.

Which is the bigger threat?

So all of you republicans are right, American's do have something to fear......the same McBush politics.

Obama/Biden 2008!

sadly on september 11 2001 ,

a few thousand people lost their lives due to 19 terrorist.

7 years later, we are trillions of dollars in debt.

the mastermind behind the attacks is still walking the earth.

more americans have now been killed in combat in iraq than were killed on september 11.

republicans claim that national security, terrorists, rogue nations are what we should be afraid of.. the reason we must build up our military to protect americans...the reason why money is taken from our health care system, our education system, etc.etc.

so this is how i see things,, republicans ingore the needs of americans, insist on having the most powerful military on the planet to protect us. so over the past few years, this administation has ignored the people that they have gone to war to protect, people are dying because they cant afford health insurance, our dependence on crude oil, both foreign and american, has crippled our economy while a few people get richer and richer..our military has taken such a blow, it would seem unlikely that it could handle any real threat on american soil.. and yet in all this time.. tens of thousands of americans have been murdered on american soil, by americans. why are thier deaths not worthy of trillions of dollars..

so this is what i dont understand about republicans.. spend trillions of hard earned and much needed american dollars to go on a witch hunt because of 19 men who infiltrated our flawed local national security, while ignoring the needs of tens of millions of americans, all the while crippling our military... all the while americans are killing americans in our own country.. why .. why .. why is fighting arab terrorists more important than fighting american terrorists.

republicans use fear of the unknown to scare americans, when they should be dealing with american crisises right here in our own back yard... who knows.. maybe that guy who robbed that bank and killed those people could of had a job if only we had a stable economy, and maybe some americans lives, who are just as important as those that died on september 11th could have been saved.

so ultimately i just dont understand why anyone would want to continue down this obviously flawed path and vote for john mccain.. especially you PUMA people..(whom i dont believe to be true democrats or else they wouldnt even consider voting for mcsame .. not even on their deathbeds... they are polar opposites.. mccain and clinton.. you are aware of that.. and if you are .. then it is time for you to wipe those tears off your face, grow the flip up... and make sure the democratic party takes control of our goverment,, and again makes it a government for all the people of america, not haliburton, not oilmen, but all americans)

cnn never posts my stuff..

McCAIN SAYS THAT WHEN HE WAS IN THE HANOI HILTON HE HAD NO KITCHEN TABLE , HE HAD NO CHAIR , HE HAD NO HOME WELL HE MAY NOT HAVE HAD A KITCHEN TABLE BUT HE DID HAVE A CHAIR AND TABLE TO DENOUCE OTHER AMERICAN SOLDIERS TO SPEAK FOR THE NOTH VIETNAMEASE GOVERMENT AGAINST ANERICA . SHAME ON YOU JOHN , BUT PEOPLE LIKE HAVE NO SHAME!!!!!!!! NO SHAME MCCAIN WILL NOT WIN!!!

CNN: The Best Place for a Republican to Funnel His Attacks... Free of Charge!

Blah blah blah. It didn't work for Hillary. It won't work for McCain.

Anonymous..you are full of it. The situation in Georgia was and is complex. Much more complex than you can possibly imagine. Your analogy is probably the worst one I've seen. McCain was calling for restraint, too. As was Bush. And they all were demanding Russia pull back. This, after the Georgians wiped out a village full of Russians without provocation.

Get your facts straight or get lost.

Oh and all McShame has is bitter ADS!!!!!! Thank you Hillary!!

Just a random thought for those bloggers "outraged" by this ad campaign using Hillary Clinton's original "3AM" ad.

Was it fearmongering and poor political taste when she first ran it back in March?

A friend of mine went to New Orleans for Mardi Gras years ago with another individual that was an extreme alcoholic.

After an extreme night of drinking he walked into his friend's hotel room only to find the maid cleaning up vomit from the bathroom floor.

Dismayed, he asked the maid if she ever was disgusted by the behavior of such revelers. The reply was......"oh, honey that is just Nawlins"

And honey, what McCain is doing with Hillary's ad....."is just politics"

You mean resurrecting ? Recycling ? Fighting Vietnam again ? Reviving the cold war ? McCain = noun + verb + POW. Next ...

Ah – surprise, using the fear bomb. shame on mccain and his lame campaign. Anyone that isn't angry about the ridiculousness of this ads and the lack of seriousness on the issues, just isn't paying attention. McCain is insulting your intelligence with this kind of hooey – and is remaining silent on the issues. What's important to you – jr. high smear tactics, or an adult approach to the issues? they're playing the public like brain dead morons – referencing his pow stint for everything from a hangnail to his house gaffe. There's not much behind the screen – these tactics try to hide the real mccain, but his ineptitudes are lurking wherever you choose to look.

Addison State Bank became Northern Trust in the late 80's a bank that originated in NEW YORK

Love the ad! my sentiment exactly as a hillary supporter now will vote for mccain.

How many people actually buy off on this? Maybe Obama camp should do an ad show your baby boys in full military gear with the statement of "the only time they were safe was when they were in your womb".

CNN is more interesteed in making headlines than reporting the TRUTH. It has become clear they are backing McCain 100%. Everytime you turn CNN or FOX News on all you get is TALKING HEADs that think they are more important that the NEWS. They do not report they distort.

IT"S Really not fair they scream. And I guess, they are right, Because at this point Obama has given perhaps...a Few Good Speeches. Maybe, they need to amend Hiary's thing to say just that. What do you think people??

Hillary was right! It is unfortunate the the DNC put their heads in the sand and pretended the issue of experience did not exist. It is here and is going to haunt the DNC and Obama because pride was put before commonsense.

This is sad – Sticks and Stone will Break my Bones but Commercial Ads will never hurt me.

OBAMA 2008

John Mccain's default answer to questions he can't handle:

"I don't know. But for 5 years, i was a POW".....

Hillary Clinton was right. Obama lacks the experience and judgment to be President of the United States. She said it plain and clear because that is what she belives to be true.

Unfortunately, the powers that be in Democractic Party, have proven themselves not only to be stupid but incredibly sexist by not fully supporting Clinton to be the nominee.

I am so happy Clinton is not a part of Obama's ticket. He needs to go down all by himself!!!!!!

I can't wait for McCain to win in November!!!!

Wasn't it nice of Hillary to pay for creating McSames campaign?

So now CNN runs John McCain's attack ads for free?

More smears from the McCain camp. Who is McCain kidding? He won't be able to wake up at 3 a.m., much less make an intelligent decision (and not just because he's taking sleep medications, although I'm sure that can't help matters). Vote for the person who gives you hope, not the one who tries to make you afraid.

I hope Hillary Clinton's supporters don't see this as a "reaching out olive branch" from the McCain campaign and actually see it for what it is – playing you like a fiddle.

Now, one of Clinton’s laws of politics is this. If one candidate is trying to scare you and the other one is try get you to think, if one candidate is appealing to your fears and the other one is appealing to your hopes, you better vote for the person who wants you to think and hope.

President Clinton
10/26/04
*********************************************************************

I think President Clinton summed up the proper response to these tactics.

Hillary should be ashame of herself for giving the McCain Camp this ammunition to use against Obama. I'll say it one more time, if the Dems lose this election it will be Hill and Bill's fault and we Obama Supporters will never forget or forgive them for it. If she has any 2012 plans, she'd better think again.

John McCain may have more experience than Obama, but I don't think we want someone as old as McCain.... really.... he's old.... let's not hide it

John McCain is doing the best thing to ensure his victory: He's reminding Clinton supporters of why we refused, and still refuse, to support Obama. I love it!

John McCain 2008!
Hillary Clinton 2012!

FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR! It's all the GOP has. God knows they can't win on issues, facts, or character. That's how out of touch McCain and the GOP are: they think these scaredy-cat tactics will work. If you believe fear is a wholesome American value, by all means, vote for McCain.

Furthermore, replaying a candidate's TV spot and 'commenting' on it does NOT constitute journalism, CNN. It's extraordinarily lazy. The American voter deserves and demands better.

Politics of Fear....typical Republicans. No surprise...McBush is just the same old GOP slime......

Please be smart people....we need a change.

Obama/Biden 2008!

Thanks Hillary!

Many people complain that CNN is biased, favoring Republicans. I thought the other way around. The overwhelming majority of comments in here are from liberals and democrats. Many comments from republicans are either blocked out or maybe they're busy working to type up the comments. We need balance here. Both Senate and House are already controlled by Democrats and Liberals right now.

An excellent ad.
We do not need a rookie at this time.
No thank you, Obama.

i am so proud of McSenile he knows two words,POW and SURGE. OBAMA/BIDEN 08
Connie from Indiana

The greatest mobilizing fear tactic against the Democrats - Obama could be President if there is NOT unity by knowledgeable and intelligent Americans in the voting booth.

Politics of Fear....typical Republicans. No surprise...McBush is just the same old GOP slime......

Please wake up American...we need a change.

Obama/Biden 2008!

These folks that blindly support (like little sheep) John McCain are ignorant and clueless and out of touch with the real world, like McCain himself is. He has no platform, visions, or ideas for this country. We would not be any safer under a McCain presidency. He's a fraud.

BUSH = MCCAIN; MCCAIN = BUSH.

That's a mathmatical certainty 95% of the time.

If You do not say it ,
It cannot be repeated.

It is time to end the scare tactics... This one American that is willing to take a stand for what is right. Barack is the candiddate for the future of American... Not the broken past...

OBAMA/ Biden 08....

If McCain wins it will have nothing to do with his qualifications but the politics of fear and hatred. John McCain has run his entire campaign blasting Obama. The reason he is doing this is because he has no vision for this country but the same old thing,

It's not like Obama couldn't take comments from republicians and use them in commercials against McCain but that is not his style. I just hope that he isn't giving the American people to much credit. It seems that people like the negative ads inspite of the fact that they deny it.

Wake up America! George played this same game. We must learn from history or we are doomed to repeat it. I don't know about you but I can't afford 4 more years of the same. My pay check cannot keep up with inflation. I am not in the top income bracket, so I can't get all those tax breaks. I watched McCain at one of his townhall meetings and all I could think was surely the American people are not this dumb. If anybody other than John McCain had offered his wife to a motorcycle beauty pageant, the press would have ate them up. John was a POW so he is not responsible for his action. John can't remember how many houses he has but don't critize him because he was a POW. McCain can't remember what he says from day to day but remember he was a POW.

When you put him in the white house and he has flash backs and we end up in another war, who will be to blame? Not John McCain, he was a POW but the American people.

Correct me if I'm wrong,
But wasn't it John McCain who said that he would NOT go negative during the General Election. So much for that rationale huh?

It seems as if all they ever show is why we should not vote for Obama; as opposed to why we should vote for McCain.These political games are getting old fast.
As a young first time voter, I care about issues such as :
1) Ending a pointless war
2) Fixing the economy (lowering taxes)
3) Universal Healthcare
4) Colleget Tuition credits, etc.

As Obama says, let's end the "silly season" in Politics and focus on the real issues.

THE DUMB GUY DOES IT AGAIN FEAR. HOW WILL THE DUMB GUY PROTECT US. BY KILLING OUR YOUNG PEOPLE FOR VERY LITTLE REASONS. AND YES I DID SERVE MY COUNTRY ALSO.

OBAMA......08

Forget 3 in the morning. McCain doesn't work weekends. Being the president is a 24/7 job.

McCain has cashed in every molecule of celebrity that can be redeemed from his POW experience. He's been writing 'bad checks' with war stories and buzzwords for decades now. It's kind of a form of identity theft at this point, because now he's not that brave soldier fighting for truth. He's a greedy and embittered elderly man that fights to remember the truth on a daily basis.

See, the Republicans haven't changed. McBush says he is for change but again, their only tactic is "Scare the Heck out of em"! That's not policy, but B.S We have to get out of this Bush mess and Obama is the way!

If Hillary used the 3am ad against obama and lost

how come McCain is recycling the same old thing?

Good thing about Clinton is she threw everything including the kitchen sink at obama and lost, now McCain is recycling the same Clinton attacks.

Obama has this election in his pocket, mccain offers nothing new except same recycled bull.

John McCain appear to be a war monger....I use to think this guy may make a good President....now with this ad and all the other Right wing Republican trash, I do not look up to him as someone that I want as President. He is a yes man just like Bush!!! No mind of his own!!!

That ad was one of many blunders that Hillary's attrocious campaign staff made to help lose the primary to O. (and I still preferred her) Why in the world does McCains group think it will convert anyone who is a democrat into voting for the representative of the republican platform. It is not about whether I think Obama is ready (not as ready as others that ran) or genuine (more genuine than some, less than others) but whether I think the basic premise of the Democratic platform is better or worse than the Republicans. I can't explain how utterly disappointed I am in the current Dem leadership but, I am not a fool. I may be a tool.. to those Dems at the top that use me, but not a fool to be completely ripped off morally and economically by the Republicans.

More populists that don't cheat on their wives please ( I hate the liberal effete that have taken my party at the moment) But! In the meantime, I will be pulling the lever for Obama (or Nader if I think there is no chance of O winning my state)

So, let's ask these questions about McCain: Is he too old to be commander in chief of the most powerful country on earth ? Can he keep up with rapidly changing events in the 21st century ? Can he control his temper under stress? These are the serious questions we all must have about McCain. If we have doubts, then we are tossing the dice on our national security !

Precisely the reason why Hillary is not the VP.

The republicans are so sad and pitiful, you can smell the desperation.

THERE IS NO HOPE FOR THEM!

All you bloggers out there, you have nothing to fear. McCain sent his wife to Geogia. That will solve all our international problems.I didn't know she was already the first lady. What I don't understand is that even if she were first lady, what business does a first lady have to do with national policy?
McCain didn't go to Georgia. Is it because he knows so little about diplomacy,he might start a war before he even gets to be president?

It's 3 am, how many more negative attacks can McCain, who claimed he would no go negative produce?

I hate Hillary Clinton with her " If not me, than no one else" politics. Imagine just how foolish it would have been to have her as VP!

After the last eight years, I do not trust a Republican administration with our national security, including McCain's misguided judgements. He uses the same ole fearmongering. Not this time.

Keep up the fear mongering McCain.

LOL!!! THIS WILL BACKFIRE!!!

What an idot....LOL....Hillary got so much grief for this.....you'd think people would pay attention.

Why doesn't McCain tap Hillary for his VEEP. She hates Barrack enough to consider it...and since Bill is a "democratic has been" this might give him a chance to start over again with the GOP.

And McCains nickname in the POW camp was SONGBIRD! How patriotic of him!

"Why of course people don't want war. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a fascist dictatorship, democracy, pr a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do it tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."
–Hermann Goering, to Gustav Gilbert while imprisoned in Nuremberg

There's the signal that fear will be the number one issue from the Republican perspective. Get ready for "elevated" terror alerts in September and October. They have ridden this horse before with success, but that horse is old and tired now and I don't expect it will take them as far this time.

How much does experience really count? Does it always trump common sense and new ideals? Believe me, I am very old, and therefore have lot's of "experience", but........

BR-No one has forgotten 9-11, and your statement that "some" Dems supported the attack is offensive and ignorant. In fact, a case could be made that it was the the Republicans that used the attack to pursue their agenda of going into Iraq (who by the way, had nothing to do with 9-11) and subverting our constitutional rights in the name of security. If we continue to allow our freedoms to be taken away in the name of fear and security, then the terrorists have accomplished their goals. Get a clue

It's 3 am, can you remember how many houses you own?

Obama supporters whine about Rep. fear tactics. Well guess what? The world IS a dangerous place. We aren't going to keep the country safe by holding hands and singing kumbaya. Obama's waffling response to Russia's invasion of Georgia shows he's NOT READY. Russian tanks roll into Georgia and Obama calls both sides to show restraint. That's like telling the sailors on the USS Arizona to 'show restraint' as Japanese bombs rained down.

Can you imagine what would have happen decades ago if the republicans were the nasty, ruthless party that they are today?

"Yeah, and that Martin Luther King, Jr. guy is all speech and no substance. All he does is talk, talk, talk. He's such a celebrity..."

Remember this. A funny thing happens when you have a smart, charismatic leader that truly believes in something. People start to listen. People are inspired to act. Only then does change happen.

Who has McCain ever inspired? Anyone?

Unfortunately this ad is was well done. Call it fear tactics if you want, but McCain is showing Obama's weakness. Obama needs show McCain's weaknesses now.

Everytime Mccain gets a question that would put him the hot seat, he replies....I was a POW ....Just watch the Jay Leno show.

OBAMA/BIDEN08 – Change for our Kids sake, wake up young Republicans don't be had.

McCain will be snoring and getting his beauty rest at 3am....LOL

Well approve it or not, they have used her to attack Obama and we all knew they would. She continued to spew her venom and give the Republicans everything they could ask for to use against Obama long past when there was no way for her to win. If McCain wins in Novemeber I will hold her personally responsible for the destruction 4 more years will do to our country.

It's 3 am, there is another oil war to start...Who do you want answering the phone?

When McComb-over picks Romney for his VP, the Democrats better have an ad ready to air showing Romney blasting McCain over and over again.

I wonder what the Americans require from Obama. They seem never to see anything good in what he does. They said he is not good in foreign relations; he took a tour and dazzled the world with his brilliant performance. They say he lacks experience and good judgement;he picked a man with vast experience in f/affairs,and Justice affairs. as VP to complement his Presidency bid. Yet the majority of American voters do not see any good in that. I am not an American but Iam keenly interested in what is going on about this election because I Neunderstand that a good governance in America will affect the rest of the world in various ways. So my prayer to God is to let the best candidate win. It is left to you Americans to be wise in your actions so that you do not bring desaster on yourselves and the world. Do not be blinded by malicious ads by those who just want to win election.

I am sick and tired of McCain's answer to everything being " I was a POW". I for one will not vote for someone who cannot remember how many houses he has or what type of car he drives. Those were simple questions that he could not answer . And he's running for PRESIDENT ! How can we hand over our country to someone who can't remember where he is. Oh, thats right, he's only having a senior moment. He's 72 after all.

MCain is desperate. Even the troops are supporting Obama 6:1. I wonder how that makes Johnny feel.

The politics of fear are alive and well in the Grand Old Party. If anything should unite the Democratic party it will be the negativity of the McCain campaign. These dirty tactics will backfire.

Obama/Biden!

Pretty sure Obama would have to leave that phone with Joe Biden. Great. Another Veep that has to wipe the nose of the president due to them being clueless on matters of national security. Yippee.

Well, the truth hurts doesn't it. Some people just can't over the fact that past the "idealistic" talk, there is a serious lack of experience and accomplishment regarding Senator Obama. This is not to discredit his service as a community organizer, but I'd like to see what other viewers thoughts are about what they think the qualification ought to be for the Presidency. On a more realistic note, there are many people who are jobless and one of the things told to them in a job interview is that they don't have enough experience for the position they seek. If in the "real" world this is what Americans face, why shouldn't the same hold true for the "highest" office in this land!!!!!!!! Take a look at the heavyweights in the Democratic party during their own primaries(Dodd, Biden, Clinton, Richardson). Every single one, including Joe Biden said that the Presidency cannot lend itself to on the job training and he wouldn't meet with hostile nations without any preconditions-his answer to this was an unequivocal no. This is a good man with over 30 years experience in foreign policy. He's right!!!!

I love reading the comments here. They really make me laugh.

What comes to mind when seeing Panamanian McCain?

POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (unresolved).

People this fraud, McCain, is dangerous, very dangerous for America!

Obama here is your new campaign slogan:

"EIGHT IS ENOUGH"!!!!!!!!

If George Bush ran for a third term would you vote for him? Hell No!

But he is running again, he is only older and has a different face? He is John McCain!

BR -

We have not forgotten we remember very well. But we are not fighting a war to protect our freedom we are fighting a war for Bush and his friends to get rich off of oil. If you think this war is just then let me see you go over there and put your life on the line or better yet your sons or daughters if you have any. All you Repubs going for McCain but McCain has nothing to lose. Our soldiers are dying for an injust war and our families are suffering at the hands of men like McCain and Bush.

I don't care what you say, Democrate or Republican, I want someone who can understanding the millions of people who are suffering with high gas prices and mortagages that are going through the roof; let alone the millions of jobs that are lost and families are struggling to make ends meet. Healthcare is ridiculous and is the biggest joke. You have young people who are vital and capable of working but rather cheat the system or spread their legs and make babies to keep from working to get welfare, while our senior citizens and disabled workers can't get anything due to them working for a living all their life to find out they can't get anything in return because our Federal government says their SS pay is to high; how SICK!!! But yet this is the system we pay into for this very purpose; but who gets it the low lifes and crooks.

Preach this foolishness to someone who wants to hear like yourself.

Hillary's adds were on target then and still are. But remember, the current President was not necessarily the best man around to handle 9/11. Afterall, as we were under attack, he was frozen with indecision during an educaltional promo event for his "No child left behind" program. McCain or Al Gore would have been the better men to handle that situation as well but the Republicans chose the other guy for his evangelical roots rather than foreign affairs capability the year before. LIkewise, when it came time to address the terorist threat militarily, Bush chose to do a quick fix for Afganistan so he could get down to the business of invading Iraq. Now look where we are. The Taliban is regaining control, Al Quada is still around, Osama is still at large, and terrorists attack at will in Iraq...going on seven years now.

This ad raised a legitimate question. How would a president Obama react in a time of crisis? We saw how slowly he started to criticized Russia over Georgia. He initially wanted an aggressive diplomacy when the Russian tanks already rolling all over the country. I do not have confidence in Obama.

What makes people think McCain would be better at a 3am call. He has hot temper and would likely over react to any sitiuation. On top of that he has no understanding of foreign policy details. He doesn't know hte difference between Shiite and Sunni or that Iraq is run by Shiites and that Al Queda is a Sunni organization. These details are important for any response. He doesn't evn know what countries exist in Europe. I'm suprised he knew where Georgia was when Russia attacked, Oh and what happened there, we did nothing. McCain will almost certainly start WWIII. Make sure all your sons and daughters are ready for the draft.

The media will choose the next president. The people would just watch. They want a close race to benefit thier cause. First it's Obama this and that and now it's Mc Cain this and that. Blow out election don't make money but trying to fix the outcome with favorable and unflavorable coverage to make a race close does. When the people are smart enough not to respond and the outcome are totally the opposite of what the media hope to accomplished, they blame on polling error. Come on, please!!!!!!!!!! CNN, NBC, Fox 4 President 08.

Hey CNN – in case you haven't noticed, the Democratic National Convention is going on. I know, I know, that isn't what McCain wants you to talk about, but at least try to be journalists for once. Please. Pretty please? Come on, be professional. You can do it.

Hello if Obama beat Hillary after she used these ads why wouldn't he beat John McCain a much weaker candidate than Hillary.

Yes Hillary got 18 million but remember today she's speaking at the DNC, Barack will be ACCEPTING the nomination on Thursday.

Maybe John McCain should cry too...hey it did win at least one State.

Hmm.. Biden voted for the patriot act and to authorize the war in iraq.. this makes obama lose all credibility.. we are screwed another 4 years

The vets against Obama has closed , but I would like to say one thing. Maybe those people should have taken that 1.1 million and supported are troops, which John McSenile votes against time after, time. OBAMA/BIDEN 08
Connie from Indiana

What a bunch of whiners! Get over Hillary Democrats and vote for your worst nightmare yet to come Obama 08 and by 2012 Hillary will run again and win!

When will the political process change from name calling to an actual discussion about real topics?

Here we go again; more scaring people to the polls. Hopefully people won't fall for this same crap again. Unfortunately, the average voter hasn't proven himself/herself capable of that though.

At 3 a.m., John McCain doesn't even know what house he's in, let alone how to respond to a crisis!

I like how liberals accuse conservatives of using fear tactics and trying to scare people then say the whole planet will melt if you don't vote for a democrat.

Two things:

1) Just because McCain is now using this ad, does not make it untrue

2) Hillary probably sold the ad to McCain to pay back some of her campaign debts.

Regardless of who you vote for, Hillary gave a littany of information to the GOP to use against Obama. Republicans, please, thank Hillary for all her support.

I think that this is a good move by McCain. Although I am not a fan of scare tactics, how better to prove that your candidate is not worthy of the presidency than putting forth the words of its own party members. It is unfortuante that Hillary ran the type of campaign she did because now it seems difficult that everyone is going to magically "unite". Biden is a great guy, don't get me wrong, but that is all he is. Growing up in the Philadelphia area I am very familiar with Mr. Biden. He seems to be a parrot character, regurgitating whtever he thinks the people want to hear regardless of his own point of view. As a man, Biden is great, as a politician he seems to flip flip more than Kerry....

We can choose to be a part of the problem or take it upon ourselves to be a stabilzing, intelligent force and be a part of new solutions.

McCain and the likes are like fish trapped in a tide pool. They need help getting out, and the only way I can see to help is to not cultivate like-minded energy and allow myself to be manipulated by distorted definitions of patriotism and new-found fears.

We are a fear-oriented society. All it does is narrow our scope for potential for change and diminshes our intellectual and spiritual abilities.

I"m not willing to settle for less from myself.

Can McSame find his teeth at 0300? How long does it take for him to gain his bearings? The man is too old for the job.
Obama08

Here comes the fearmongering. John McCain, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Now if McFossil can just figure out how to work that danged call-forwarding.

What will we as a nation choose? One that attacks his opponents position while saying in essence "vote for me because I am not him", or one that has the visiion and strength of character to advance his agenda, an agenda that is very hard to argue with?

45 years ago Thursday the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., had a dream where his "four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character"

Whose character will we choose? Fear, or hope?

So I watched the convention on MSNBC and that will now be my first choice for news from now on. MSNBC was the only channel to show the entire convention without a bunch of journalists spewing nonsense of their mouths between and in the middle of speeches

This is for all of you out there who wanted Hillary on the ticket. Maybe now you'll realize that she blew it for herself.

Obama will be trounced in November! Hillary Clinton was right, it's just that you Obama supporters CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

Jack Cafferty should have stayed on vacation until the election is over,
people are getting sick of his bias for Obama, and bashing of the Clinton's. Believe me I'm sure the Clintons would like nothing better
than to miss this whole Denver thing. Why should they support Obama
after what he and his campaign has said about them. After all now that
Fl and Mich county Clinton should be the nominee, not Obama.

CNN PLEASE PRINT THIS, UNLESS CAFFERTY BLOCKS IT>

Hillary knows a vote for McCain is a vote for herself in 2012. This country needs someone who knows how to lead, not give, uh, and, er, uh, speeches.

I'm personally glad Clinton isn't the nominee because that would make the race very close if not impossible for McCain to win. However, with Obama running there's no need to worry.

I am a Democrat maybe not for long, they don't get it or they have forgotten, 9/11. America, is looking for a leader with strength and wisdom what they have put up is peace, love and cum bi ya. Save the world and they can not even save themselves with the Liberal ticket they are thinking will win. In a year when a Dem. be a SLAM DUNK, they will again run for a FEEL GOOD ABOUT MY SELF IMAGE.

When they lose whom or what will they blame, RACISUM, AMERICA, HILLARY, but not THEMSELVES. What a bunch of PUDS !!!!!!

2012 Clinton the full package

This is freakin' awesome! Who doesn't love politics? The Democrats give us so much fuel for entertainment. Too bad that's the only fuel they're giving us.

What my argument has been all along. Obama's lack of experience and fluffy magical promise change talk against realities of what's going on in the world. I would have voted for Hillary in a heartbeat. I would have voted for Hillary is she VP. Since neither is the case I will now vote for McCain. I don't trust Obama in protecting our country with his naive mentality about so many thing. The guy won't even admit the surge in Iraq worked! Hell, I didn't think it would work either, but in REALITY it did. Obama doesn't want to admit this so instead he keeps talking about getting out of Iraq and not giving credit where credit is due. NOBAMA!

Let Hillary, Bill, and Hillary's supporters disrespect and not get behind Obama, then in 2012 when the reverse happens we will know who to blame.

Grow Up!

With the GOP's love-in for HRC, I'm looking forward to McCain's Friday morning announcement that she's his veep choice.

I hope he takes Romney so we can start rerunning all those choice quotes from Mitt about what a bad choice McCain would be.

Do they really think the American people are that stupid? If so, here's a great ad: "John McCain. He thinks you're an idiot. Vote for him anyway. He was a POW you know!"

I mean is this all the Republican party is made of; mud-slinging politics to phase out the true issues with this country. What's so sad is it just may work. That says alot for the state of our coutry. Of all places Ohio is leaning McCain, one of the highest unemployment rate states and they still have not learned.

Mccain is adding to his repertoire.

Noun. Verb. POW. Crocodile tears for Hillary.

What does McSame have to offer? Only OLD ideas, fear, attacks on Obama, war stories. Of course we respect his service and pow years, BUT enough already!!! He lives in the PAST!!! We must be forward thinking in this election....Vote Barack!!!

cowards! McCain and Hillary are right!

Some things will remain the same...
The Republicans continue their politics of fear.
I really hope America sees through this deceptive smokescreen, reads the newspaper and sees the Republican fear tactics for what they really are – desperation.

McCain please which of your numerous houses should we call by 3 a.m?Thanks.

We should expect no better from McSame. He has nothing and all he can do is atttack, attack, attack. I'll tell you given McCain's lackluster career as a Navy aviator, I'm not so sure I want him taking a 3am call.

Thank you, Hillary! {MAJOR SARCASM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!}

McFear!! Fear mongering is how facists and dictators rise to power.

If you really think that Obama/Biden has any chance to win this you have all gone mad.

Words don't sway me a bit.
Look for substance and character.
Obama has none.
McCain 08

Fear versus Hope, what do you want to vote for?

And for all of the PUMA's, if he loses, there will be no Hillary in 2012 or ever since we will never vote for her, nor will of the 16-17 year olds who support Obama and will be eligible to vote in 2012 and exact revenge.

This is great.... our own olympics. I guess Obama must be thinking twice for not treating Hillary with respect. It is time for us to start the process for HILLARY in 2012.....

Hey CNN – Can you please let Obama have his moment without injecting McCain into it? The fact that you take every opportunity to "put Obama in his place" and pretend it's Clinton or the McCain camp doing it makes me ill! Who cares about this stupid commercial! If you had any objectivity at all you would not propel Clinton and McCain into Obama's spotlight every chance you get. Clinton already had her moment and McCain will have his next week.

Bush, McCain are one in the same and people had better wake the hell up!

Bush used National Security as an excuse to keep everything among a tiny group of people to exclude those with expertise and dissenteres. A lot happened after 9/11 and one thing people don't understand or realize is that we became a torture copuntry.

Nothing will change under McCain, and for those Democrats who can't deal with the reality that Hillary lost, who say they will vote for McCain or not at all had better wake up and grow up, or SHUT UP for the next four years.

Unfortunately this ad only emphasizes the fact that the Republicans and McCain have to resort to re-runs......swift-boating, and fear tactics...does this not prove we are in for four more years of Bush re-runs. P.O.W! Yes we know, this is also repeated again and again and what does that have to do with how many houses he owns..(LENO). Just how much safer are we now after the surge? We are still there, but wait, now the Bush administration is talking "timetable" for withdrawal. They do copy a lot--wasn't the timetable introduced by a Democrat? Senator McCain, have you not forgotten Bush's remarks during your 2004 campaign? Had the campaign run much longer in 2004, Bush may have had his Rovie's digging deeper for dirt, just as you are now.

McCain please which of your numerous houses should we call by 3 a.m?

Ok, so here we go again.. Pretty much the same scare tactics that scared voters into electing Bush into another term seems to be the same strategy of John McCain. As once said.. A dumb man irresponsibly gets himself into a conflict. A smart man plans his way out of it, but a wise man avoids it by thinking.

I hope that we all think in the coming months about who might be the best "thinker" when faced with these situations..

If people are turned on by hope change hope change chants then maybe a sober reminder of 3AM possibilities is needed. Sometimes reality hurts.

Democrats talk about peace and hope and a ray of sunshine on your face...

Republicans talk about all the evil in the world that must be stopped to secure our future...

What do you want? A ray of sunshine or security?

"Uncertainty. Dangerous aggression. Rogue nations. Radicalism," the ad's narrator states as images of tanks and launching missiles flash on screen."

But that IS the precise definition of McCain!

What a doofus.

Obama's ads are about how he wants to make America better. McCain's ads are just attack and fear ads. Same way Bush and if he wins McCain look to run the country. Only a stupid person would vote for McCain, primarily because he is just like Bush, but also the gov't will not function under a Republican as the house and senate will be dominated by democrates. Hence if you wish for the best for the country he need to vote Democrate in this election. BIG PROBLEM IS THAT MUCH LIKE CHAVEZ WINNING BY USING THE IGNORANT PEOPLE THAT DOMINATE VENEZUELA, THE MAJORITY IN THE US ARE JUST AS IGNORANT.

McCain has experience at getting shot down.

As much time as McCain takes off from work and the amount of sleep he needs every day there can only be a situation between 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday. But I am sure he will leave standing orders to shoot and wait until he wakes up or gets back from the weekend. The secret service won't even know where he is at because Cindy may take him to one of their homes he forgot about. Can one imagine how much it will cost the secret service to make each one of his 11 homes safe for a president. That alone will break our budget.

The CNN of today is a disgrace to the well respected and informative CNN of the last decade. They have sold the American public out for spin and profits. They are all too willing to perrot all the talking points from both campaigns but won't do the work to tell us the truth.

As far as I'm concerned, CNN and the other "news" networks are just as responsible for us getting into the Iraq war as Bush and the republican party are. Instead of reporting facts, they past along false evidence to the public that was used to justify the Iraq War.

The debacle of the last 8 years of Bush happened because people voted out of fear–if you vote that way again, McBush will be the result.
Wake up America!

It is not "FEAR", consider it as LEARNED LESSONS.
Open up your minds!!!
This is no longer about Republicans or Democrats.
This is about who's telling things that makes sense.

Who do you want answering that 3 AM phone call? A crotchety old man who is 1/2 hour late for his opponents and has a mid 20th century worldview? Or a 47 year old man who is serene in triumph or crisis and has a 21st century vision?

A POW experience 41 YEARS ago........IN the 20th century DOES NOT qualify you to be Commander -in -Chief in the 21st centruy..

John you do more the fill the American dream..

YOU filled YOUR AMERICAN GREED..!!

Yes YOU DID...!!

Scare the hell out 'em, John. It worked for Bush.

The Republicans have done a better job of terrifying the electorate, than Al-Qaeda could ever do.............

Is this all they have? I feel confident that Obama will handle these situations just fine. What I am worried about is if people in this country don't wise, how I will be able to afford the American Dream. Wake-up people! Unite, Unite, Unite!

Well when all else fails, just scare people into voting for you.

HEY!!!! HERE'S ANOTHER THOUGHT-WILL MCCAIN REMEMBER WHERE THE PHONE IS?????
HE CANT REMEMBER THE NAMES OF COUNTRIES/ NUMBER OF HOMES HE OWNS/ THINGS HE SAID AND DIDNT SAY!!!

anyone who falls for this crap is pathetic.

Who is running the McCain campaign? Slobodan Milosevic? I thought the Butcher of The Balkans was dead.

America can NOT even hear the phone ring, let alone answer it!
At 3 PM, PM not AM, Russia declared they recognise the Independence of Ossetia.
The only American I have seen who has enough brains to understand the complications of stance by Russia is Bill Maher.
USA is letting Russia gain the moral high ground.
Most of the World, and this is TRUE, wants America to improve their own education system, lower their crime rate, and raise your standards on multi cultural issues AND get out of world affairs.

Will someone tell Mr. Potato Head his fear mongering WON"T work!! And on another note "Thanks Hillary".....

It would be far better to have a very intelligent man with good judgment answer the phone than someone who can't remember the difference between Shias and Sunnis, said they historically get along, thinks we are at below pre-Surge levels, can't even remember how many houses he owns, has a bad temper, and thinks "bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" is funny.

I for one am sick of the premise that Obama's speech was nothing more than that. Has anyone actually read it in its entirety? It shows more substance and judgement about not just Iraq, but also an incredible and uncanny foresight about our economy and housing and our need to address terrorism than McCain has ever demonstrated in his run for office. Yes, he has a speech. And that is one of the reasons I'm voting for Obama. Read it and then complain about "just a speech."

Bush = Flunky flyboy with big wig parents and grandparents.
McCain= Flunky flyboy with big wig parents and grandparents.

Bush is what we all know of him to be = not good at all

McCain lost to this guy. We want him now?

WHY?

For the past 8 years we have all been POW's.

Prisoners of "W"!!!!!!

I have seen this type of political garbage happen in my country. I guess, when it comes to politics and sleazy politicians, age and location doesnt matter.
McCain seems to be the next rightful succesor to Bush, he has learnt quite a few things from the current president – keep the common person in fear all the time.

FEAR--FEAR--FEAR--FEAR--FEAR--FEAR--FEAR--

THE GOOD OL' POLITICS OF FEAR.

I thought McCain had no money comparatively to Obama, and yet, way more commercials.

Where is Obama's money going?

DEAR JOHN, uhuuuuuhuuu I AM SO SCARED!
of your age
of your skin cancer
of your wives
of your arrogance
of your dirty tactics
of your brain damage
of your shallowness
of your love for war, hatred and negatives

PLAY it RIGHT OLD MAN! you are too old to scare me....

once again–this is ALL MCCAIN CAN BRING TO THE PARTY????!!!!!
yesterday -again–Iraq indicated they want us out–why is the bush/mcsame train dragging their feet?
why is it that more Amercian troops have donated to Obama's campaign then MCCain if he's "the one"?
on leno last night the non-answer again-–POW-ok-thats fine & now its overpalyed–there is not trick to: i own 7–then he tries to justify in that some are investemnt properties–well u still OWN THEM RIGHT???
Mccain in my book is a sellout-(bush voting/big oil contributions/lies/half truths(still lies) against minimum wage increases/womens right to choose-sorry–being a POW while beyond the call of duty–is NOT an automatic in to the White House!!!
WE DONT NEED HIM!!
WE NEED A NEW VOICE AND HOPE FOR THIS COUNTRY-OUR NATION IS AT ITS BEST WHEN WE'RE TOGETHER MEETING CHALLENGES!!!!! OBAMA WILL DO THE BEST JOB AND IS ONE OF US–HIS SUCCESS STORY IS OUR SUCCESS STORY!!!!!

I hope that in four years, the Democrats have learned that you don't go dissing your fellow candidates while campaigning for office – the Republicans will use your words to their advantage later. It's too bad that Clinton was the first to go negative – now it's coming back to haunt the Democrats.

I don't understand why the Democrats get a bad wrap for not being "negative enough." The worst thing about politics is the negativity, yet the media continues to encourage grown-ups to talk badly about each other and focus on negativity. Is this the message that we want to teach our children, that the only way to win is to be negative? When will it be acceptable to run a campaign without focusing on negativity? When the media stop focusing on negativity? Does the ability to make money outweigh the common good? Unfortunately, it appears that it does.

"Scare tactics"?

GROW UP! The world is a dangerous place – this isn't Kansas anymore, Dorothy!

WHAT A SHAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the way the Democrats want to "clense" the statements of individuals like Hillary now that they don't fit the situation. Hillary said it, live with it. Biden said it, live with it. Talk about a lesson in whitewashing the facts. This current crop of DNC rulers are really a piece of work. I am a PUMA and proud of it. This election, I will not sit home like Ms. Pelosi and Mr. Dean would like me to. I will vote and I will proudly vote Republican. And you Obamatrons can continue thinking that I am nothing but a Republican but there are millions of us true Democrats who will vote experience rather than rhetoric. Sort of leaves BHO out in the cold doesn't it??

Thank John McSame here's an excerpt from Michelle Obama to make your day.

"They’ll tell them how this time, we listened to our hopes instead of our fears. How this time, we decided to stop doubting and to start dreaming."

If Mc cain likes Hill ary so much then why doesn't he choose her for VP?

I'm John McCain and I plaguerized these tactics. My friends, you were dooped 8 years ago and I sure you can be dooped again. Pay no attention to my policies behind the curtain. I am the great and powerful illusionist.

Fear tactics work. They got bush elected for the second term. Fear of wars that we start, fear of people who worship differently than we do, fear of gays, fear of women who get abortions and fear of the American People becoming united.

Fear tactics work. Just look at the condition of our Country and its people now. Fear tactics have worked very well.

I'm a Christian, but I'm not an Evangelical conservative. Evangelicals have preached that it is sin and disobedient that has caused this country to fall. I believe that also, but I also believe that a good part of that sin is within the churches who have made a habit out of supporting a particular political party in order to force their beliefs upon the rest of the country. Jesus never said follow me or I'll punch you in the eye. He touched the hearts and minds of individuals and established a personal relationship with them. Jesus never needed the laws of mankind to make people love him.

So Evangelical Christians, where do we go from here? Continue with fear tactics of the Republican party, who really don't support your causes and only give you lip services, or roll up your sleeves and do God's work by touching people the way God touched you and not by threats and forcing them to be obedient.

There's no need for fear, but it has worked.

When she said these words, she thought she was going to win the nomination. Thought it was a sure thing, after all she's a Clinton, but now it's coming back to haunt her and the Democratic party. If he looses the general election, blame her and her husband as they are the ones who will have brought down the Democratic party. This is what inflated egos can do. Nice going Hillary!!!

Go John! These are great!

This is beneath Him, but it seems like john mc cain has no control over his campaign tactics, and is just excited ti have been lucky enough to get nominated.

Does McCain have anything other than security to talk about??? he never even won a war or lead an army – just because you put on the uniform doesn't mean you can lead or make good decisions when it comes to security...

Mccain has lost his mind. Can he stick to the issues? nope!

The ad is a bulls-eye. Thank you for the dead-on truth Hillary. As for the condemnation of "fear", get a grip Democrats. I work hard to earn money to provide for my family as I know what will happen if I don't. If that's motivation due to"fear of failing", then so be it.

First he recycles George Bush's failed policies and now he recycles Hillary Clinton's failed commercials. Does John McCain have any ideas to offer at all?

I'm wasn't ready for Jommy Carter's second term in '80' and I'm still not ready for it in '08'.

I hope Hillary puts John McCain in his place tonight.

I REFUSE TO BE SCARED INTO VOTING FOR A REPUBLICAN THIS YEAR. NO MORE, NO MORE!!!!

"Old news" "Old man" "Old ideas!"

I'm John McCain and I approved this message.

BORING!!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Let the scare tactics begin! Should the Americans fall for this crap again, they have no learned any lesson from the past eight years and the world will see you going down in flames for following the same old policies. May God help you all, fellows!

All you Hillary supporters....look how your girl is being pimped out by The Republicans.. Suddenly she is right...but she was wrong during the primaries. That should be a turn off to the whole, I will vote for McCain because Obama won thing. Don't let yourself get used like a girl at a college party that drank too much and should not have because she is under age. Do the right thing and let's come together to beat the most fear mongering machine there is.

DEMS 08/OBAMA-BIDEN 08

She was right then and she is still right today. I will vote for Obama but it doesn't change the facts of the campaign and Obama is going to have to address his lack of expierence.

The repubs have every right to use the words of Clinton and Biden. Here is why.

With the exception of Romney, all the other republican candidates had the smarts enough not to say damaging things against McCain during the primaries. They knew that in some fashion their excoriating words would later bite them (and the party) in the butt. Apparently the dems weren't so smart. The democrats will lose the election this fall, and they will have no one but themselves to thank.

If all they have are Hillary's attacks and she didn’t succeed with them then they are pretty pathetic. I almost feel bad for them. They just can’t make anything stick to Obama so now they are trying Hillary's old tricks. Kinda hard to make their party look good when everyday Americans are witnessing there screw ups and how their mistakes are truly affecting us all. I don’t want to here you sorry opinion of how Barrak will maybe handle some call at 3 am in the future but I would like to here how you plan on getting my grocery bill down because I have to kids to feed McCain. Ok I’m listening........................................

Play the fear card..... PLAY IT!!!!

McCain would be better in a national sercurity crisis than Obama. McCain is more decissive, and McCain can better guide us through a conflicts that may arise. These are dangerous time and we need a strong leader.

McCain IS TOO OLD
McCain IS TOO DESPERATE
McCain IS TOO NEGATIVE
McCain IS TOO SHALLOW
McCain IS TOO MUCH
McCain IS TOO SICKENING

ENOUGH OF HIM!

I have heard Mitt Romney will be the VP choice for McCain... The Dems will then be able to use his words against McCain... All is fair in love and war..

[b]Bush is the most unqualified leader this nation has had since Nixon![/b]

Barack Hussein Obama/Paris Hilton 08!

I'M SOOOOO SCARED OF THE WAR DRUMS. BUT THANK GOODNESS FOR THE MESSAGE OF HOPE AND CHANGE. I'LL NOT BE BULLIED INTO VOTING THE SAME BUSH WAY. GO BARRY/BIDEN '08. MANY THINGS GET SAID DURING PRIMARIES BUT THE MATURE THING IS TO RALLY ROUND THE CHOSEN CANDIDATE AND "SURGE" FORWARD TO WIN. MC CAIN'S OPPONENTS SAID WORSE THINGS DURING THE PRIMARIES. HE CAN RECYCLE AND USE AND RE-USE EVERY DIRT ABOUT OBAMA AND STILL I'LL NOT BE SWAYED, NOT EVEN AS A HILLARY SUPPORTER. I'LL GO WITH THE DEMS, I'LL GO OBAMA. DESPARATE GOPS

What if the election was Saddam Hussein vs Barack Obama? Saddam could make every claim that McCain is making. He had 30 years of experience and started a couple of preemptive wars too. We just don't know about that Barack though, we'd better stick with Saddam.

First of all I take exception to the headline that veterans take aim at Obama in ad. For the record, it a group calling themselves veterans. This add is crap, Let's just look at the facts. Forget the surge because we had to do it to save face. The more important fact is that the war was wrong from the start. We were lied to and John McCain should admit that the war was wrong. And any veterans that support McCain are idiots. You have to be because you are supporting a person that sent my brothers and sisters into harms way on a lie. Then he refused to give them proper benefits while in the service because he thinks they were too generous. Get real!!! Bottom line is that he has not voted on any legislation to help veterans. In fact he received a F for his support of veterans and Obama got a B.

Proud Veteran of 20 years of faithful service supporting Obama!!!

CNN is following the foot steps of FoxNews, the only person I love and watch at CNN is the one and the only Larry King Live.

I am feeling a little disheartened by one aspect of this campaign, and it is the lack of imagination in responding to Republican attach ads. It brings back memories of the Kerry campaign.

1. I am increasingly convinced American elections are not about who offers the best and brightest policy decisions. The media plays a pivotal role in voters' decisions.

2. Case in point: the Republicans have just recycled Clinton's "3a.m." attack ad, and I was appalled by the Obama campaign's lack of imagination, and lack of response, then and now. It will have the effect of the "Swift Boat" attacks in 2004. Perhaps I'm naive but it seems obvious to me that the Obama campaign respond to that ad by having McCain pick up that 3a.m. call, and commit our troops to Iraq for the initial invasion. Then the ad reminds folks that that decision by McCain wasn't made in the dead of night but in the light of day. Just imagine how he'd respond to a call at 3am.

But the ad will go unanswered and as stupid as the ad might seem to us, it is an effective tool. And it will be one of many. It's one thing not to get down in the mud with the McCain campaign, but it's another to allow such ads to go unanswered.

If you agree with me on this point, PLEASE circulate this e-mail to others actively engaged in the Obama campaign.

Hillary said these words, she meant what she said, so Democrats, deal with it. I don't understand how any one with common sense can trust Obama. All he is it talk.

It was bad enough when Hillary did it now it is further backfiring on her. Democrats – Are we really going to take the high road or just pay lip service to it like Hillary did. Can you tell I am not a HC fan? She really let me down with her petty behaviour which continues on ...

Disappointed female democrat

For all the negative talk about how Obama unfairly treated the Clintons, can anyone pull out any Obama footage that the republicans could have used against Hillary. It make a strong statement about how he maintain some integrity towards his fellow Democratic opponents and still won the campaign. He has taken alot of shots and watch alot of people make money off of bashing him - but he has stayed focus!!

John McCain's campaign is looking more and more ridiculous, disorganized and desperate daily. Why won't he spend his money actually articulating a plan for the country rather than pandering to disaffected Clintonites, and jumping on every opportunity to further diminish the standing of American Politics. A campaign of fear, will ultimately not sell with the American public.

Hillary has made it clear that anything she says has nothing to do with what she's said in the past. Each day is a new day and she wants history wiped clear of her reality (unless it benefits her).

Why should this be any different.

The Democrats sure know how to squirm when the truth comes out. Hillary was correct, McCain has years of FP experience and Obama gave a simple speech, in 2002.

Some times the truth hurts and hurts bad.

I am a right-wing stallwart, and understand how McCain is using these ads to win in November, however all this attachment is making me worry about someone that I wasn't sure about being a real republican in the first place. I am going to be voting for McCain, or just another HIllary in old man's clothing?

How dare the Republicans use Sen. Clintons actual words. Don't they know that she really didn't mean it, she was just saying what she had to in order to get elected. Come on, she never actually believed anything Bill every told her.

And like all Republican ads, CNN provides a link to it, something they don't do with Democratic ads.

Did someone remind CNN that this ad didn't work for Hillary? I know it's McCain's ad, but CNN is obviously intimately involved with McCain, just like Cindy, when McCain was still married to Carol.

Libs...fighting reality every step of the way.

typical republican fear tactic, the old war monger will not be able to deal with to do anything with the treat out there, he wants to stay in Iqaq for 100 years a county that is not treat to our nation instead of fighting the radicals in Afganistan, Obama knows where the treat is and how to handle it with Obama/Biden ticket America has nothing to fear from but feat itself ,the right wing and Bush/Mccain.

Fear. Anybody want to buy some? Plenty to go around.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
At least it is not hear say… Clinton said things about Barrack, like it or not… the only common ground I see her and Barrack belong to the same party and that seems to be the only interest of the two. Her hopeful thinking on her part she might get chosen for VP.. that was shot down…now what??? She has a career to protect and a possible future white house career at that, all she is stuck with is so call "OH lets unite the party". I am happy to see ads that are not opinions or hear say… I say show it for what it is..Let the facts speak! Go McCain GO!!!

How are these scare tactics? McCain is pointing out the realities of the world we live in. I guess most of you would rather be the ostrich and ignore everything going on around us. And how is this ad "swift boating" Obama? Using the words of common opponents against the other party has been around for years and years. Hillary spoke the words when she wanted to make Obama look young and inexperienced. There's absolutely no reason why McCain should not do the same thing. Who cares if Hillary approves? Her words are just as correct today as they were when SHE hoped to benefit by them.

This why Clinton was not considered for VP.

She did this to herself. A lack of vision. No Plan B. That's why she lost the primaries. That's why she would make a poor choice as POTUS. Not looking at situations from all perspectives, just the rosy one she wants to paint for herself.

Hey, it's nostalgia time! It's the old Bush "the boogie man's gonna get you if you don't vote for me" routine. Didn't most of us fall for that once........or twice? Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

I am with Eric. I hope Mcsame wins so that all of these idiots who keep posting about how they'll vote for Mcsame since Clinton is'nt running have something to whine about for another four years.

Ha ha ha

Even prominent Democrats think that Obama is unqualified!

Do some research... that WASN'T a Clinton backer. It was a McCain Campaign Staffer.

Fear and more fear that is all Mcain and the Republicans can deliever.

People vote Democrats and Obama/Biden so we can get our country back and stop all the fear.

IT'S FEAR AND FALSE PROPAGANDA. WILL SOMEBODY TELL MCCAIN THIS IS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN AND IT ATTACKS THE CORE OF OUR FREEDOM TO SPREAD FEAR AND FALSE PROPAGANDA.

I am McCain and I do not know the answer to that. So, I will ask my staff. Doomed, doomed, doomed.

Landslide Dems.

Obama/Biden 08.

For all those Hillary supporters who is talking about voting for McCain, Look how the McCain camp using Hillary. Wow! just Wow!

It's 3am and McCain can't find his dentures.

He answers his shoe.

Just surge them he says, I know how to win wars because I was a POW.

Peace.

How entertaining – every time I think about using this news service for information, I come across commentaries like these – reaffirming what I already know.

Well just be advised that the democrats can't buy the election and the people – true Americans – are seeing the light. Next, we'll take on the Republicans and get them back in line too.

I seem to remember anti (and unfair) McCain ads endorsed by George W Bush handlers during the Republican primaries in 2000. I would hate to see those old ads recycled and run again. Strangely, the Bush handlers responsible for that negative campaign against McCain are the same handlers (or at least their former trainees) currently working for McCain.

I wish all would stick to the important issues and scrap the petty nonsense.

What is Senator McCain trying to hide. All he seems to know is attack attack. We would rather hear what he plans to do for the country.

If McCain says anything about national security it is a fear tactic,but when Obama uses terms like bushes third term it is not fear tactics. When people posting hear say things like Mcwar or a vote for McCain is a vote for the draft. That is not fear tactics. You dems are such hypocrites.

Once again, McCain proves himself a liar. He repeatedly claimed that he was going to run a clean campaign, and he's done anything but. He's also embraced figures he once denounced (Falwell and Dobson), he misled the American people with his infamous "walk through Baghdad," and he's flopped on every position that had earned him a "maverick" title. John McCain hasn't kept his word about ANYTHING in the past several years. We'd be incredibly foolish to let such a dishonest man in the White House. His word means NOTHING.

"I am John Mc Bush and I am ashamed of this message". Please bear with me. I have nothing to run on this year. Bush has destroyed my party and so I am heading for the low road with my Double Talk Express [DTE]. Care to join?

Can you see it now?

Can you see why Hillary made it impossible to select her as VP?

The politics of fear, offered to you by McCain. When you do not have any solution to offer to the American people, you're left trying to scare them.

Can McPain get his own ad team to come up with an original idea. Especially one that has been tried and fell flat? Must be good to be rich and to have no new ideas.

well at least it is not hear say... Clinton said things about Barrack, like it or not... the only common ground I see her and Barrack belong to the same party.. and that seems to be the only interest of the two..and her hopeful thinking on her part she might get chosen for VP.. that was shot down...now what???

I say show it for what it is..Let the facts speak!

Question: If McCain is going to keep using the "POW" card to deflect any attacks on him then why is it not fair for someone like Wes Clark to call into questions that it is not a qualifcation to become President? The media won't allow anyone to touch his service and he uses it repeatedly in defendinfg himself. Seems a bit unfair to me.

"If you don't vote for me, terrorists will come get you."

I am John McCain and I approve the fear-mongering in this message.

I can't believe that McCain really thinks he can win over Clinton supporters while being so disrespectful of Hillary Clinton.

Vote McCain, emperor of the New Roman Empire.

Can he for once focus on internal issues as the economy instead of the war drums.

I bet this crazy old man wants to be on that phone at 3:00am. The hate he harbors after being a POW will give him a quick trigger finger. If America wants to end the world with WW3, this senile bugger is your man! This country has way too many hate groups to allow Obama a chance. I have an ugly feeling that they will never let Obama serve.

McCain is gone crazy and feels the great threat of the Dem Party. Yes, Hillary said some mean things. However she was trying to win the bid. McCain or no other should be allowed to us footage from others when bidding for the White House.

I want to know what the full Hilary quote is at the end of the video! What does she say after that? It sounds like her sentence is cut off!

Unfortunately we live in a world where Americans have to be concerned about our security. It seems the Dems have forgotten 911 and from some of the blogs I have read it appears some even support the attack. “The chickens have come home to roost”. Oh well Dems go ahead and stick your head in the sand and pretend that all you have to do is smile and give someone a hug and all is forgiven. Dems got it wrong when the said the war was lost and couldn’t be won in Iraq. They wanted to quit then and don’t seem to have the character to fight when you have to fight. Thank God someone will fight for your freedom even if you don’t want to.

McCain 08

Watch PBS the best political team ever...

yawn

I'm tired of hearing about John McCain's Vietnam POW saga. That does not qualify him to be President of the United States. I have the utmost respect for people in the military, but when did that become the qualification for being President of the United States?

My concern is, what are you going to do for me? How will you make my life better and the lives of my grandchildren. We will always have wars. You just hope that when you vote, you are choosing the person you FEEL will protect you in a time of war, protect your livelihood and make you proud to be an AMERICAN. The one who will give you the opportunity to be the very best you can be in this country; to be able to achieve whatever dreams you have.

Mccain is fully awaken he does not know where Afghanistan and Irak borders are, He did not know either who is the president of Russia until Stephanopulos told him. At 3 am he won't know either, when he will stumble over the phone, and joe libermen, the democrate will not be around to tell him. May be Cindy Maccain will tell him even she forgot to tell him how many houses they have. Tell me what kind of decision he will make at 3 AM when not knowing either Republic Zchech is not longer attached with Slovakia. The general will have hard time with a president MCCain. Politics is like soccer, You do not put your hand on the ball.

CNN needs to STOP giving the REPUBS free commercial runs on their ads!!! Mostly every ad CNN shows gives the REPUBS free POINTS. I truly "have not" seen any ad CNN runs for the REPUBS in REAL TIME???? When and where are these ads shown???

If it weren't for CNN – FOX NEWS and other MSM – NONE of McSAME ads would be known!!! Jeez!! Stop making it so obvious you're for McSAME!!!

OBA-DEN 2008-2016!!! CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN!!

Good thing McCain is up at 3 a.m. . . . but then again, he goes to be by 6 p.m.

It goes to show how bad of a politician Hillary Clinton really is. First rule of politics is anything you say will absolutely be used against you. Obama knows this rule well and that's why he is the nominee. Politics is not about the people for the Clintons, it's about the love and addiction to power and money. Now that the Clintons have lost some of that, they expect the citizens they have hosed over for decades to hedge their dwindled back accounts and egos. Obama was smart enough to 'slow play' his candidacy run and make the real effort to run a clean campaign. The Clintons wouldn't know how to do that if JFK Jr's plane fell out of the sky and landed on their SOHO lawn.

There is little doubt McCain is going to get CREAMED this November, so I do not worry about sore LOSERS and have no need to listen to politicians whine this election year. It will be humorous to watch all the crybaby Clinton zealots, throwing tantrums that their crooked mouthpiece lost fair and square, 'magically' change their minds and end up voting for Obama. They are hypocrites just like their candidates, and suckers to boot for paying off their bills. Maybe they should spend it on their children and families instead of buying out Hillary's loans and affording them a new lake house. Ignorance really is bliss eh?

_Mike

For all of you people who compare a man like McCain to dictators, that's just plain stupid. What exactly has he done that you can base this on. He has done more to bring badly needed comprimise to our government that anyone I know. Do you really think that a 100% democratic government will be any better for America than a 100% Republican government was? Fools. The government historically has never run well when there wasn't some sort of balance. Best case would be one party each controlling either the house or senate and a president from either party. That would bring the government to either slightly left of center or slightly right of center. Either way, a comprimise and better for the MAJORITY americans who are centrists not far left or far right wing nuts jobs. Both are equally dangerous if given total power. With far left democrats in control of both senate and house, there can be no balance or sanity without a counterweight to drag policy back to the mainstrem middle where THE MAJORITY OF US ARE! That means a left leaning Republican like John McCain is the only safe answer. BALANCE. Don't let the pendulum swing all the way back to the other extreme. That's not change we can withstand.

Biden endorsed McCain's foreign policy plan four months ago:

"In an April speech at Washington’s Georgetown University, Biden spoke highly of McCain’s recently unveiled foreign policy plan.

“To his credit, John repudiates some of the Bush administration's approach to the world,” Biden said. “He recognizes that the power of our example is as important as the example of our power … that allies we respect, not disdain, can advance our interests. He is especially eloquent about his abhorrence for war — as John is uniquely placed to be.” – Politico Aug 24, 2008

Thanks to the Clintons for arming McCain.

McSame is so full of fear.
The republicans are so filthy. I want to puke.

This is why Obama could not pick her as a running mate. Her crash and burn tactics are coming back to hurt Obama and costing him a fortune/time in order to counter attack.

Nothing but fear. Those are the tactics of the past. We are not going to buy that today, oh not today. Today optimism, hope and prospective will prevail. We are not stupid.

By the way, good luck waking up John at 3AM.

Well, when Hillary is right, she's right. You Dems can't get your head around the FACT that Obama is unqualified. Biden said it. Hillary said it. Bill Clinton couldn't bring himself to say Obama was qualified just a few weeks ago. Why do some many prominent Democrats not get behind this guy? Answer, they know what America is just waking up to. Obama isn't ready for prime time.

Got to point out the hypocrisy, Republicans spend 16 years telling everyone in America not to trust a word HRC says, and now they air a commercial saying she right.

And the Corporate Media, who are in the RNC's back pocket, is all too happy to support the effort.

BE CAREFUL YOU HILLARY BACKERS THAT GO TO MCCAIN.....I SMELL WAR WITH EVERY AD AND HE MUST REINSTATE THE DRAFT TO FILL HIS EMPTY ARMY! HE DOES NOT CARE THAT WAR MEANS LOSING THOUSANDS OF OUR OWN CHILDREN.
HE CAN NOT TELL YOU WHAT HIS PLAN FOR THE ECONEMY IS BUT HE IS ALREADY FORCASTING DOOM WITH OTHER COUNTRIES. GOD I AM TIRED OF HIS WAR MONGERING ,THIS IS WEIGHTING US ALL DOWN FOLKS!!!!

The sick thing about this is that it will resonate with average voters. It amazes me that the American voters appear to be stupid enough to let these smears make their decisions. Become informed, people!!

Also, for all of those who accuse Barack of being an empty suit – HAVE YOU EVEN BOTHERED TO LISTEN OR LEARN ABOUT THE GREAT THINGS HE'S DONE?!?!?!?!?!?!? If anyone, McCain is the empty suit. He has created no message in his campaign other than "Barack sucks." All he does is attack and smear – where are HIS ideas? What is he going to do for our country? Barack is constantly and consistantly laying out his plans in detail. John McCain and his filthy surrogates do nothing but spread trash. WAKE UP PEOPLE! But I suppose John McCain has a right to – because he was a POW. That is such crap. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

Are Democrats going to learn to fight back for once? How about exposing the truth on McCain? NOT doing it caused John Kerry the election on '04 – DON'T let it happen again. It's time to get down & dirty and play their games or you can watch the White House (and all of our futures) slip away all so one trigger-happy freak can fulfill his "destiny." Sick.

I hope American's aren't stupid enough to fall for these tactics any longer. The poll numbers cannot be accurate. I don't know many people (especially not the millions of new young energized voters) sitting around their non-existent landline phones waiting to be polled.

Scare, scare, scare ... War, war, war ... POW, POW, POW ... Surge, surge, surge ... No real plans or original ideas of my own, No real plans or original ideas of my own, No real plans or original ideas of my own ... Attack , attack, attack.

The "Maverick" ... Not so much. Just a simple, small, weak-minded man with no integrity; that's the REAL John McCain.

What in the world is Obama doing not fighting back???? Why doesn't he put an ad of McCain singing Bomb Bomb Iran or trying to get Russia out of the G8, and a picture of the A-bomb exploding in Japan. Geez... fight back.

McCain = WWIII. McCain was a soldier and that's all he knows how to do is fight wars. Who needs that?

Whatever it takes to keep Obama out of the White House!

I'd like to hear one foriegn policy plan McCain devised that has been implemented and has worked. I want to hear from any soldier he commanded and about any war McCain has won. Then I want to hear his plan for the future both domestically and foriegn. McCain has no plan other than to continue the course we are on. Make no mistake, the Republicans are better off now and have no need or desire to change course. They are doing exactly what they want right now.

I happen to tune into Jay Leno to see John McCain talking about something about being a prisoner of war had to do with why he owns so many homes....I am sick of hearing about how he was a prisoner of war and that is the answer to all his questions.Senator McCain...."Could you have lunch with me." Well, my friend..."When I was a P.O.W. we didn't have lunch...." Senator McCain "When is your next town hall meeting and where?" "Well, my friend, as a former P.O.W. we never had town hall meetings , hell we never had towns or halls to have one." Senator McCain....What is your favorite meal?" Well, my friend..."We never got meals when I was a P.O.W." AAAAAAAARRRRGGGGGGG!!!!

I pretty much agree with Eric above. After the democratic convention is over so is my interest in the elections. I can't stand the Republican's sick desperation and slimy sleazy advertising. I can't stand hearing about McCain's references to being a POW in every sentence, is that all he can campaign on. And that hawk faced critic on Larry King last night belittling Michelle's excellent speech finished me for all time as far as the Republicans go.

It always strikes me that the people who criticize Obama are no where near to being as patriotic, as intelligent, or as hard-working as he is in any objective comparison of their lives. What I hear is the bitterness in their own lives coming out as an attack to tear down others rather than build up people. If this really reflects the American people, America has truly lost its way.

Rush Limbaugh should be jailed for inciting riots at the convention,even though he retracted his call to arms,he let the cat out of the bag to his mindless minions.

"Uncertainty. Dangerous aggression. Rogue individual. Radicalism" – that pretty much sums up John McShame character!

they are taking you for a ride if any american vote for the republicans or John McShame. this old twig is below scum!!!!!!

Fear monger, war monger

McCain is using the same tactics that Bush used in the last two elections. I think America is seeing through them this time. LOL McCain, will loose just like HRC did in the Primaries. You guys really think Obama is going to play like the past nominees the Democrats put up in 2k and 04?
Seriously, Obama is not going to lie down and let McCain attack him.

If America actually swallow these ads again, we deserve whatever we got coming as a country. Absolutely insulting.

If people are smart, they realize that you attack your opponent when he's your opponent and once you've lost you become a party player and support your ex-opponent. McCain is playing dirty knowing there's a bit of a rift in the Democratic party. Obama is clearly the wiser choice than McCain, but it's a shame we didn;t realize in time that Senator Clinton is the best of all.

Should we believe she was lying the first time and she's telling the truth now? Her and Joe have given republicans some of the best advertising opportunities and they should use them all. Let the people decide whether they believed what they were saying then or believe what they are saying now.

Seems to me that McCain's campaign is lost and can only copy others for their ads! That is what I expect of McCain. That's why they will just follow Bush's ideas and failed policies!

We All Knew The Things Hillary Said Would Come Back On Obama! She Is The Most Polarizing Figure In Politics! Let Her Have Her Chance To Redeem Herself Today And Let Her Leave The Stage!

I am with Eric. The whole campaign is directed to the large majority of voters who are idiots and morons. We are our own worst enemy.

These 3am ads only work for those isolationist ignorant folks who wouldn't leave their one-horse town to look for the horse if it ever ran away.

Educated voters see right through this crap.

Try again McCasket.

When you are running a race against someone else and you are both trying to reach the same finish line – YOU'LL TALK BAD ABOUT THE OPPONENT'S MAMA in order to defeat the opposition – 99.9% of it you know is not true.

Once you get to the REAL RACE, however – the finish line is DIFFERENT, therefore, when you'll talk about YOUR OPPONENT'S MAMA – AND MEAN IT!!!

The REPUBS are not getting ANYWHERE with these ads – they claim we are "stuck in the 60's" – they're STUCK in "NASTINESS" and "FEAR-MONGERING" – that's not going to work anymore!!!!

OBA-DEN 2008-2016 – YES WE CAN!!!

America,we are the Land of The Free and The Home of the B-R-A-V-E!

Please do not fall for these FEAR tatics by the Republicans!

We have to be smarter than this! This lives of our sons and daughters depend on it!

From outside the US one is astonished by HILLARY hrated for OBAMA. If OBAMA loses (what the Clintons desire) Hillary clinton would account for at least 45% of his failure

All McCain knows is war....what about the economy....McCain needs to re-enlist and go to the front lines and take Bush and Cheny with him. The republicans keep claiming Barack has no substance...Well, all McCain talks about is war war war. And since when does being a POW make you ready to lead. I would think you would be the last one I would follow since you did get caught. I'm a veteran myself and I don't care who gets mad.

Anyone that thinks Carl Rove is not running this thing for McBush has their head in the sand.His style is all over this thing.Fear,lies and false flags.

What did Hillary expect that they would do? That is why it was important to remember that this was a Democratic process. She did not care then and she no doubt knew that this would be used against her opponent. Shame on you Hillary, Shame on you.

Senator Clinton will stop short of denouncing these ads becasue she knows they are true. Look for a luke warm respons by Hillary -- that should tell us all something – Obama is NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME

From which bed and in which house should we call McCain at 3:00am ?

Our current "bomb 'em" foreign policy agitates the world, then the repubs say we need to protect us from the world they worked so hard to aggravate.

It's like Bush pulled the pin on a grenade and handed it to McCain.

They hope we won't remember who pulled the pin, we'll be too focused on grenade going off.

I am getting so tired of all of these negative ads. Who would I want answering the phone at 3 a.m.? NOT John McCain. We don't need to start another war which is what I fear he will do. Does John McCain have anything to say about his policies or is his campaign going to consist of talking about Paris Hilton and Hillary Clinton?

I,m not surprised that "Swift boat John" has dragged out the attack ads again. He wants you to think that he cares about Hillary. If she had been chosen the veep, the attacks on her would have come immediately. He is just trying to steal her supporters away from backing Obama. It's pathetic and very transparent what he's doing.It's so sad that the McBush campaign can't come up with a single issue that they can solve, so they start dredging up old primary issues Obama and Clinton had with each other. Do you think that McBush and Romney or any of the other republicans didn't have issues with each other? They got as nasty with each other as the dems did. That's just politics. You'd better come up with something better than that John.

Obama will not answer the call at 3 AM he is too busy putting air in everyone's tires trying to solve the energy crisis Like the ad or not, it is true – Obama is not ready to lead this country – NOT EVEN CLOSE. The last thing we need in Washington right now is a junior senator with no experience whose only claim to fame is being able to give sharp sound bytes and speeches... NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME Senator O'blah blah.

Is McCain's staff so limited that they must take other people's ads? It seems that there is little the McCain campaign can say that isn't talking about McCain as a POW, reusing campaign ads from someone else, or making (often wrong) attacks at Obama. Where is his message other than drill off shore for more oil. That is all I know about his campaign.

I see that CNN is helping out the McCain campaign again by publicizing its commercials.

I have a feeling this will all backfire on mccain as it should. He is too stuck on the surge, war and drilling to be an effective president. He is also way too negative and we have no idea where he stands on anything other than Iraq, the surge and drilling. Sorry but we need a man with better judgment mccain because your experience shows us you have learned nothing at all.
drill,surge,drill,surge,drill,surge

So when is Panamanian McCain going to tell the American people what HE is going to do for this country (other than keep it the same with Bush policies)?

Is the McCain campaign so intellectually and morally bankrupt that they can't even come up with their own material?

McSame's ad is another reason why he should not be President. There is no diplomacy, there is only his favorite word...WAR! That is not how I want to spend the next four years. Have we not suffered enough these last eight years? Have we not been humiliated enough around the world? Americans let us vote sensibly and let us retire Senator McBush.

McWar, McBush, McSame....It's not going to work this time. We're not as stupid as you, and your republicans think.

Obama/Biden will be better on foreign policy than McCain/???. Biden is perhaps the best in congress in terms of in-depth knowledge and strategy in that arena.

Of course, McCain would like nothing better than to feed us a steady diet of fear mongering right through November. This American will not be scared into making a stupid vote for an extension bullying foreign policy and totally ineffective and short-sighted domestic policy.

Just this morning on CNN, a high level McCain campaign representative was asked to name one way in which McCain's economic policy will differ from Bush's. She completely evaded the question by going on and on about his (distant) past as a "maverick." That is exactly like a similar situation where one of his top campaign officials was asked basically the same question and he stared at the camera, deer-in-the-headlights and stammered, never providing ANY answer. He looked like McCain trying to explain his position on insurance companies paying for Viagra and not for birth control or answering a simple question about how many homes he and Barbie own.

John McCain – just say no!

This is all MCBUSH know..WAR WAR WAR" The Republicans ALWAYS try to SCARE the amerian people to WIN the office..
Well, if Hill supports like the way things are going then they need to support MCBUSH..They shouldn't open their mouth about anything. Gas, homes,jobs, health ins...McBUSE voted 95% of the time with BUSH..so go for it and suffer with your mouth shut!!!!

The DNC should not have disqualified MI & FL. I'm not faulting either Obama or Clinton on this, but the input of those states may have ended the debate before things turned ugly. Regardless of the electoral outcome, future poli-sci students would do well to study all of the DNC's this year mis-steps to see how NOT to run a primary.

John McLame is so un-original. Is this the best he can come up with? It looks like more poiltics of fear. Americans are not afraid of radicals in black mask and with AK's. We have that here in the U.S. already. Try something else McLame.

Swami says "McCain answer in all debates will follow this format-

NOUN-VERB-POW
NOUN-VERB-POW
NOUN-VERB-POW
NOUN-VERB-POW

LET LOOSE THE HOUNDS!!!
ALL GLOVES OFF OBAMA/BIDEN!!!
HIT MCCAIN UNTIL HE FORGETS HE HAS 7 HOUSES, A CLOSET FULL OF $500 DALLOR SHOES, ACCESS TO HIS FAMILIES OWN CORPORATE JET, AND A FAMILY NET WORTH OVER $100 MILLION.

I WANT TO HEAR HIM SAY UNCLE AND ROMNEY SAY THANK YOU SIR MAY I HAVE ANOTHER.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08,12

This is only a very small part of why Hillary could never have been the VP.
There was too much of Rove tactics in her campaign. The republican are using all her words against Obama.
This is just getting started.
If she runs again there are too many questions she could never answer about Bills dealings.

Yawn...

I see it's Promote McCain Smear Ad Day on the ticker

i know this will not get posted but i have to try again as they never are

last night was about cnn getting their rateing up again from the primary. they care not who they hurt and mcsain is a lieing old fart who don;t even know what he is doing.
every one go to c-span. no commercials and no news media hogs. unenterupted from start to finish

now we will see if this gets posted=freedom of speach

She was right. It was truthful, and will be effective. We do not need a lawyer in teh WH!

Even PARIS HILTON revolted against McCain using her name without
permission. Give that message to Hillary and Bill!

It seems as though McCain and his camp cannot come up with an idea on their own. State your business Johnny boy..worry about what you have to prove/do for the American people. STOP piggy backing on what someone else has already said or done.

Didn't you learn to march to the beat of your own drum...be original for goodness sacks!

PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will American's let these types of fear tactics fool them for the third presidential election in a row? I sure hope not.

It shows that Hillary was out of touch, just like McCain is every day on every issue.

McSame is garbage. Using the scare tactics again. The Same thing Bush did. Imagine that, McSame doing the same thing Bush does........

The scare tactic wont work this time around.

I like this quote, "Clinton said she did not support Republicans using her past words against Obama."

For the Hillarys, the Michelle Obamas, the Joe Bidens, the Jack Caffertys out there, if you don't want your quotes being used for political fodder, how about thinking before you speak. Otherwise, don't poke your nose into any sort of political or in Mr. Cafferty's case, geopolitical campaign.

McCain '08

What in the world could anyone be thinking who has the slightest inclination to vote for this OUT OF TOUCH person. He is spreading fear that the republicans created with this made up war. We as inteligent people have to get over the buzz words and really think about our economy and the fact that MCSAME said he is thinking of bringing back the DRAFT. PEOPLE WAKE UP........

You are giving McCain more free attack ad space. You are helping him "swift boat" Obama. That's hardly fair, unbiased reporting.

McCain is the worst person to be president why would they show a ad that show terrorist attack,,,,,McCain you are so old and out of touch with American I need to see how can I save my jobs I dont want to see how you a warhead.....CNN need to be boycott..........McCain you are bad news for American.......Hillary is supporting Obama all the way

We need breathing room.

Vote for McHitler!
Vote for McHitler!
Vote for McHitler!
Vote for McHitler!
Vote for McHitler!
Vote for McHitler!
Vote for McHitler!
Vote for McHitler!

Surge, surge, surge!

By the way, why should Obama have to pander to "Hillary supporters."
THEIR PLATFORMS ARE ALMOST IDENTICAL.
Isn't that enough you twits?

Yes, the GOP Convention will be full of hype and excitement!!!!!!
I gues CNN doesn't like to cover conventions that don't have
attack dogs on stage. Now, that is excitement for the Americans!

Does McCain have ANY policies that he would wish to share with voters? All I hear is why we shouldn't elect Obama and the only reason why he told us why we should vote for him is because his plane got shot down. I guess that experince is going to get us out of the mess that the economy is in. Why doesn't the media demand that McCain presnt voters with his views? All the media does is cheerlead McCain on to this pointless attacks.

Robert Frost said it best in his poem Primer Lesson...look out how you use proud words. It's a brilliant ploy by someone in the McCain camp, even if it isn't entirely fair. As for legal issues, copyright law states that someone can use a small portion of a copyrighted piece without permission, subject to certain legal qualifications. This also may fall under the satire/parody use of a copyrighted piece. Pretty much the Dems just have to eat this one, and it's up to us to determine whether it is mean spiritied.

What is wrong with you, CNN? It looks like you are one political organization. All your news are Mccain's Ads. It is becoming very biased and boring to read. I was your fan and regular
visitor when you were real. Now it looks someone is worried among you Dems are United for November.

I wish you come back to be real.

I agree on the copyright question....McCain is getting desperate – McCain can't even think up his own ad. He realizes the democrates are coming together and will kick their butt.

Typical Republican ad: "Fear, fear, fear, terror, terror, doubt, fear, fear, terror, doubt, fear, terror, terror, fear, terror, doubt, fear..."

Please grow up. We are not afraid. =)

The Ad though negative does demonstrate the follishness of electing someone with such little experience. This is why the polls are so close and why I suspect in November Obama will not win. He isa gifter orator and so is his wife. They are wonderful people but they need more time. Personally, maybe OBama should runagain in 2012.

We Will Not be swayed by the Politics of Fear! Not this TIME!! My Vote Is DELIBERATE!
OBAMA/BIDEN '08

Can't come up with anything new – well just recycle old stuff and hope that the public is stupid enough to fall for it. Great strategy there McIdiot.

Yes here we go again .... America are you ready? Shall we let them scare us again .... I never voted for Bush EVER! but some of my friends did and they are so sorry about that vote now.... the reason they voted for Bush was because of FEAR... please note what Fear is:

F = False
E = Evidence
A = Appearing
R = Real

FEAR Not a thing and Embrace Change ... after Michelle speach last night I feel so hopeful... I will not let the dark cloud of the repugs spoil my sun shine .... yes we can!

I want a candidate who:
* believes the government should not dictate, license, or restrict personal relationships
* believes the US should not be the World Police and that Iraq and Afganistan are mistakes. That we should not subsidize rich countries militaries (Japan, Germany, UK...)
* believes in smaller government and lower taxes
* believes that individual responsibility is important and that the free market will trump any government "program" designed to force market economics
* believes that there are valid arguments for or against abortion, but that it is a deeply personal individual issue that the government should not be involved in.

I've found my candidate...Not McCain, Not Obama!!
BOB BARR '08

GOP Strategy: don't sell McCain, sell fear
It helps George W. stay in the White House for 4 years,
and now McBush wants another 8...16 years of mcBush ?
Better make more body bags and folded flags...

Thank you Hillary for pointing out the obvious.

Vote for McDraft. BOMB, BOMB, BOMB.

I am ashamed of the horrific coverage CNN did last night at the DNC
convention. James Corville, Cameras on Wolf and Gloria Bolger instead of on stage.

I could not believe that immediately after all the negative comments
about the Democratic "first night" from Cnn, that immediately after
Larry King had the GOPS on commenting on how bad the Convention
was and they literally attacked Michelle Obama's terrific speech. Ben
Stein, Reagan and that stupid woman. CNN=FOX. as of last night.

Democrats have done more damage to themselves than Republicans!! I am sure Biden and Hillary wish they had never spoken nonsense about Obama.

Of course, if Obama had selected Hillary as his running mate, I'm sure the McCain campaign would be running ads heralding his smart decision. The Republicans have always held the Clintons in such high regard and, after all, McCain is such an honorable and honest guy...

McCain is now just a shell of his previous self as he has joined the Dark Side to get the support of the Conservatives. He has broken all of his promises for a clean campaign as "Team Rove" has now taken over. So long "Maverick".

My goodness, poor John McCain, never had an original thought. Where is this dignified campaign he espoused.
Perhaps he doesn't remember what happened when in 2000 his womanizing (with Cindy Hensly) and his wife (Cindy's) drug abuse brought him down. His feelings were so hurt. But his politics are just as dirty as W's.
What a loser.

McSANE ARE YOU EVER GETTING DESPERATE , YOUR 3 AM JUST SHOWS THAT YOU SLEEP,DREAM , EAT, & DRINK ABOUT WAR I WOULD NOT WANTING YOU TO TAKE THE 3AM MESSAGE YOU COULD BE HAVING A DREAM AND JUST SAY BOMB THEM.

OBAMA WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT.

McCain's ads reek of desperation!

Yes, it's 3:00 a.m. - and if a 72-year old man is president, he'll likely be asleep while others govern.

I can see it now. the phone rings at 3 am and Mccain wakes up shell shocked and hits the button to start a war. then when asked to explain his actions his reponse is "I was a POW and I can do and say whatever I want because of that fact. If thousands get killed then so be it. No one knows better than me how far being a POW can take you...even when you're unqualified." then he walks away in his 500 loafers and spins a wheel to decide which of his 7 houses he wants to visit today.

McFossil is too old to think of anything ORIGINAL.....JOHN, PLEASE stop with the POW stuff...it's getting very stale!!!

I'm pretty much done with this election, i just don't care anymore. It's all bull.

Don't you recall Barack reusing parts of her 3AM commercial to make his own? I believe that is because the images they use are actually owned by another company and rights can be purchased for a price. I think it is a wonderful tactic. Hillary can say she doesn't approve the message all she wants, but with her face on the screen and her words in the ad, even the most foolhardy voter will put greater stock in McCain's ad than her reprisal.

Hillary can denounce these ads all she wants.

But she DID say it, just like Biden said what he said about Obama.

Good luck waking John McCain up at 3am.

"I'm John McCain and I approve this message."

"BOO!"

Sorry McCain and Rove. It's not working this time. You have hit a brick sealing. Obama and Biden will win this year!

Exactly why she couldn't be seriously considered for VP.

fear fear FEAR!

I'm actually insulted at the blatant attempt to scare me into supporting McCain. It is getting ridiculous.

When they try and call John McCain at 3am, they won't even know which of his houses he's in!

doesn't that make him look weak to use other people's ad? I'm a supporter of Hillary, but sorry McCain that will NOT make me vote for you.

hillary gave a public speech, its public domain

Good job, Hillary. So glad you resorted to the low road during the primaries. It's not coming back to bite the party or anything...

LMAO!! And If McCain was rudely awakened at 3AM it would take him an hour to remember where he was.... LAME. McCain you are LAME!

This is lame. No new ideas. No more repubs this year.

Lame, lame, lame and doomed are the repubs and McCain.

Obama/Biden 08/12.

Can't they send their own message, have they nothing to say that is original?

I hope Obama continues to aly low while all the negative ads about him runs. This way people overall will get tired of them adn demand him to hit back. If he hits back to early it could go against what he stands for but if he allows Americans to get sick of it then that opens a window. I cant wait till the debates cause theres no way McCain can win a debate on the issues. He cant run a ad without mentioning Obama. Its like Obama is getting free press from him.

CNN, you wiped all the comments from last night. HOW CONVENIENT! You are SO a creature of the right wing media!

It is what it is!!

Desperate times call for unscrupulous actions.

What does John McCain stand for? What is his vision for America? What is your platform Mr. McCain? Where do you see us in 4 years after your first term and how are you going to go about renewing America's promise? Basically Mr. Senator, outside of demonizing Obama and mud slinging and fear mongering...what do you stand for?

"Uncertainty. Dangerous aggression. Rogue nations. Radicalism" Scare tactics anyone?

Fear mongering at its worst!!

And i thought John McCain was all against low blows, seems he cant help getting them in.

Gotta love fear tactics, this is how dictators get in power. Well played republicans...

Recycling seems to be the order of the day. Is this what we can expect for the next four years?

Gee I think we get the point already. This is getting old.

I thought these ads were copyrighted. Can't the Clintons get an injunction to stop the use of her intellectual property?

.... YES... THANKS HC.....

The McCain team is getting desperate. They have to rush in the McHillary ads before she speaks tonight and slams them.

CNN won't show my comments because they are too real and might hurt someones feelings. Or change someones mind. When did the media become this brownosing machine with no backbone?

it is better to lose with loyalty and dignity with the democrats than win as a traitor with the republicans" Hillary supporter for OBAMA.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

does anyone really think john mccain can defuse a foreign policy crisis without firing a shot or dropping a bomb?

The fear battle starts!

They need to recognize that a country ,especially like the USA ,cannot govern by fear, no longer.

What they need to show is Putin and Syria touring a weapons factory in Russia with order forms changing hands...

Best thing she can do is to completely denounce the use of her likeness in these ads, as well as their content.

Better yet, she can cut an endorsement commercial of her own.

FEAR! FEAR! FEAR! The only thing I am afraid of at this point is Mccain being elected president. Now THAT'S fear!!!

Slimebag cant even come up with his own material. Thank you Hillary for all the ammunition the Repugs needed.

Still, I believe the American people will prevail in making the right decision in electing Barack Obama and Joe Biden to lead this country out of hell.

ALL MCCAIN CAN DO IS ATTACK.......... HE HAS NOTHING TO OFFER OUR NATION. ONLY CONTINUE THE GOP-HATE-FEAR-ATTACK-MONGERING TRADITION.

Wow, this is the most overt use of fearmongering to date in this general campaign. Honestly, I'm a bit surprised at how obvious the ties to the Bush/Rove campaign are in this ad.

John McCain has decided that the American people are not smart enough to see through this garbage and decide on the issues. It's unfortunate, but my fear is that this kind of ad works.

This might be a good ad if McCain actually knew who we were fighting against...then again maybe Lieberman will be there to whisper in his ear and correct him!

Would someone please explain to me why the majority of people agree with Obama's plans on Energy, Healthcare, Economics, Foreign Policy, but another large majority are going to vote for McCain because he has more experience?

I could have tons of experience and still be bad at my job. In fact a new guy could come in with more up to date knowledge and probably do my job better than me. Ever seen this in your company?

better hope theres no 3:00am call if Mccain is elected. He won't be at his best if he has to get up before 8:00am.......by his own admission.....it will only piss him off and make him hit the button before he realizes it was a wrong number.

Hillary's right? Of course she is. Obama's qualifications for the presidency are non-existent. A fetid pool of South Chicago political ambition ladled into an empty suit. His act gets older by the day, and he's going to lose big.

Oh Gawd !

Here comes the same old tiring Republican fear-mongering. Over and over and over and over ............

No hope with the republicans. No future when McWarmonger pulls one of his demented moments and pushes that "button". Or declares war before he has time to collect all the facts.

NO MORE !!!!!

Obama/Biden '08 We need to take our country back !!!!!

This just adds to McCain looking like the madman he is. All he's trying to do is NOT present his policies at all. These are tactics that look like the Vietnam era propaganda more and more. But then, McCain never got out of Vietnam era in his mind.

As for James Carville, he has gone back on his word to back Democrats. He's Republican and NOT a Democrat. He lied when he said he'd fully back Obama. None of us trusted him then and certainly not now.

All they need is a girl throwing daisies into a pond.

Foolish, disgusting fear-mongering.

It's not like we didn't see it coming. Dems, time to get out those clips of Romney going after MCain.

Sorry Obamabots, but what else did you expect from the Republicans? Its all your fault for giving us this flawed candidate, who is ripe for the picking of all sorts of republican attacks. Hillary would've won, plain and simple...Obama will lose.

That's right Republicans. Say and do ANYTHING but talk about your lame policies that are "Bush/Cheney Revisited."

Let's all demand that they stick to facts instead of this reprehensible continuation of attack ads.

(Oh, yeah, I forgot. They don't want you to know the facts.)

This guy can't stand on his own merrits. All these attacks and using other people's words, this is pathetic. Mccain has nothing to offer, all they do is make fun of other's.

America knows you can put makeup on a pig, but a pig it remains…………..does nothing to change the fact Obama is unqualified, has questionable judgment, no foreign policy experience, consorts with a cast of shady characters (Wright, Ayers, Rezko, Farrakhan, his Communist mentor Frank and on and on)……………

The majority of America will send him back to Chicago soon, bet on it. The continual insults to their intelligence by the media and the arrogant Barack will back fire in November.

The responses to this blog by the Left helps me to understand how weak minded people get sucked into cults and become mindless followers, never bothering to truly look into the "Leaders" they worship. It is both sad and comical……………………….

Vote McCain or join the insane………. http://lmosworld.blogspot.com/

The Clinton campign: the gift that keeps on giving.

Hillary should have thought about the stupidity of what she said when she said it.

I would rather have an intelligent, wise Barack answering the phone at 3am then a senile, warmongering hothead like McCain.

Everything the Republican Party stands for, right here:
"Fear. Be afraid. Vote for Republicans. Republicans will protect you. Republican know what is right for you. Be afraid of Democrats. Republicans will protect you from Democrats. Be afraid of terrorists. Republicans will protect you from terrorists. Your rights don't matter. Your safety is the only thing that matters. The safety of your children is the only thing that matters. Don't worry about your rights. Be afraid for your safety. Republicans will protect your safety from Democrats and terrorists. Democrats are terrorists. "

Boy, you can really tell from the recent ads that the Republicans *really really* wanted Hillary to be the VP nominee, and had a whole bunch of ads all prepped and ready to go in case Hillary had been the running mate. They are sooo disappointed.

Somebody should tell them that these ads didn't work for Hillary, and they won't work for McCain.

FEAR, FEAR, FEAR.... FEAR IS YOUR ONLY GOD!

WAKE UP PEOPLE. WE ARE IN THE BATTLE OF OUR LIFES AND MCCAINS CAMP IS STILL CRACKING JOKES. PLEASE!!! PLEASE!!! DON'T TAKE IT LYING DOWN THIS TIME!

PRAYING FOR CHANGE IN 2009

They're going to play the "fear" card again. The only thing I fear right now is that Americans won't wake up to this game and put a stop to the Repubs.

Obama/Biden

Republican fear-mongering? They stick with this because it works. The American electorate goes for it every time.

HOPE OR FEAR.

SMART OR STUPID.

IT'S DECISION TIME.

And the Dems didn't even see this coming

Ok CNN – How many time will you continue to print this story???? Where is the so called fair reporting of this presidential campaign. You guys are a joke. Seriously.

Again, the Republicans don't have any ideas of their own. So, really...let them keep stealing ads. It just proves that they don't ever have anything new to ad to the progress of America...haven't for about 40 years or so.

F E A R!

Suuuuurge!!! That's the answer to everything over at the GOP. Gas price's too high, suuuuurge! Health care unaffordable, suuuuuuuurge! How do we stop our dependence on oil, drill drill drill! Tax cuts for my wife, excuse me for the rich!

I told you.

If anyone read my previous comment on the vets attacking Obama ad I said that evry ad that attacks Obama is raced to the top of the ticker by CNN. Look how quick this one raced up.

How weird that they are airing these ads at the same time as the Democratic convention. Give me a break.

Obama or MacCain.

Aamerica has no choice.

This country is going to go straight to the hell.

Good luck, America.

Borg vs Obama will change everything.

Obama will never be President.

We demand that only Americans are President.

Why are the drivebye media not reporting this?

Borg is a Democrat and a American.

McCain 08

I agree with the ad and how it is being used because it is true, I do not trust Obama to answer the 3 AM phone call. Hiilary is right and so was Biden when he said Obama was not qualified to lead.

Too bad, Obama can't make this kinds of ads because nobody would not believe him.

Go John McCain!

Jesus christ the mccain camp is run by a buncha 5 yr olds, oooooooo tanks and missiles im soo scared please help me mccain with your expericen. Pathetic,The dems should be on the attack.

Great ad!! The thought of Obama answering the phone scares me!

desperate times call for desperate measures ...

At 3:00 AM the old fool McSame is sleeping in one of his 7 houses ...
