Obama, I agree. What shameless cowards! It looks like your message will transcend all. I'm glad the repubs have jumped on the bandwagon too.

McCain & Polin are the highway to no where

Yes John McCain is switching his colors and talk to match Obama's. In fact they are trying to pull the wool over our eyes. By being typical Conservative Republicans, who are running as Democrats.

But, be not fooled. This is not the reason for his recent poll bumps. The fact is that women identify with her because she looks and feels familiar to them. The problem is that they really can’t see how different she is from them, like us men can.

When Palin and McCain switch the Supreme Court next year, pro-choice goes out the window with it. But not for 4 years, but for the next 20 years. That is the wool being pulled over womens eyes.

You better start attacking hard – cause we know McCain will pull the same sleazy, "make things up as you go" politics. Unfortunately, too many folks are guilty of listening to the lies rather than searching out the facts. And don't rely on the corporate run media to help educate. They are all too happy to under-report like they did with Bush/Cheney, the runup to the Iraq War, etc.

These seem like stronger words than usual for Obama. I feel as though the Democrat camp is trying to create a little drama, simply because that is what draws the eye of the American voter, which is sad. The only thing this has going for it is that this statement is true. McCain just needs to shift the message to some kind of slogan that will cover both change and experience....oh well. Still leaning Obama, but mostly undecided.

Sen,. Obama, they are copycats. Imitation is the sincerest form of flatter.

This should be the job of the press, to uncover the facts and ensure they are presented correctly. Have they all been cowered by Republican bullies? What's going on here?

Time to get all of the surrogates on message and on the record, Dems.

McCain & Palin are not just shameless for lying about the idea that they're agents of change. They are shamelessly preying on the UNINTELLIGENT in America. Take a look at John McCain's lies – some of which are featured on video on the Daily show's site from yesterday. Take a look at his mediocre, at best, performance over the past 25 years in office. IF HE DIDN"T do anything worthy then, he is not going to do it when in the office of president.

He had a 25 year interview – It didn't go so well.

Palin has had a 10 day interview so far. And so far, we know that she certainly has a strong voice, but a VERY QUESTIONABLE background for holding – possible the office of the presidency. Her background may be a special human interest story in the makeing, but It's just not good enough to be president. There are millions of women in our country with interesting family issues that are strong voiced and organized. Are all of them qualified too?????????????????????

That's right Obama! These are the Bush clones so they steal your mesage.

You said last year Afghanistan was a threat and now they are going to send troops there.

You said you wanted to talk to our enemies as well as our friends and Bush said this was treason. Now, Rice is in Libya talking to Gaddafi.

You wanted to withdraw troops and that is exactly what they are planning to do.

You have been scrutinized up and down and the Republicans are shielding this Palin woman from the press! What a joke.

When Black and Hispanic 17-year old non-working and non-married girls get pregnant, it is a crisis and a sin but this pregnancy with Palin's daughter is being treated like a blessing.

Yet, you are the inexperienced one. Please! Keep taking the high road. These people are digusting.

hahah – looks like Obama's message has been hijacked!! It wasn't even original anyways.

You can keep your change.

Oh, the irony! Not only does the McCain/Palin ticket have experience, both running mates have also brought change in whatever they've done. Obama has little of either. He's sooooo desperate and it's starting to show. What about running a campaign on the issues, Barack? The Obama campaign is a campaign to nowhere. Roll up your sleeves and force the kool aid down America's throats, why don't you? People aren't believing you and your bitter rhetoric any more. McCain/Palin, no matter how hard you try, isn't Bush/Cheney!!!!

Go get'em, Barack! You need to strike hard at these two. Don't get weak at the end. You need to stay strong and go at them with both guns blazing. They will do anything to get elected. Americans are easily distracted by shiny things. You need to remind the to look beyond that and focus on the inside of the package. If you do not come on stronger, you will lose and so will America.

As an independent, a free thinker, I have observed some of what Obama talks about here. At first Obama was scoffed at for his theme of change; and I guess, when McCain saw it wasn't working, he jumped on the bandwagon. And I would say to that, "great," if I really thought McCain meant what he said about wanting change. I think McCain saw it working and wanted a part of the accolades.

I cannot understand, however, how McCain could have voted with BUsh over 90% of the time these last 8 years and then talk to us about he is such a maverick for change. The two issues are mutually exclusive in my opinion, in this context.
.
I also feel uncomfortable with how the McCain campaign relentlessly and unabashedly preys on people's fears about terrorism and tries to make them fearful but how he will be the one to keep them safe.

I'm uncomfortable with how his campaign glorifies patriotism and strives to gain the public's unwavering, UNQUESTIONING loyalty.

I"m uncomfortable with how McCain and some of his keynote speakers have presented McCain as "knowing how the world works,"
"knowing what is right and wrong." These kinds of sweeping generalizations are insulting and untrue. McCain does not have a monopoly on truth or justice. This is the same kind of mentality–arrogance- we've struggled with in our current administration for nearly a decade.

No wonder the world places us in a disappointing light–not to mention many of our own citizens.

Someone recently said that truth is becoming irelevant, that if someone can state something forefully enough and people listen, it is taken as truth.

"Someone also once said that it is fortunate for those in power that people do not think."

I think it is becoming increasingly important for each individual to become more informed, to question authority–and often. I think it is becoming increasingly important for us all to not become so attached to our beliefs that we are unable to let go even in the face of "higher, more sensible truths."

Peace to ALL

Shameless was not demanding that the voters of FL and MI be heard...or race baiting against the Clintons......or not selecting the woman who got 18 million votes as VP.

I hope this attack strategy on McCain-Palin backfires... It seems desparate.

Dignity in Defense...
I understand not wanting to fight back the nasty, sarcastic way, but there can be dignity in defense. I have been a supporter of Obama since his speech at the Democratic convention four years ago, I believe he is the right man for the job, he has brought chnage to this country already and can do more...now is the time to fight back against the republicans...defend this country's people, defend us against continued job losses, poorer getting poorer, rich getting richer, spiraling upward costs of living just for day to day, never mind the luxuries. Defend us against these ridiculous republicans who are an insult to this great nation. How can any of them stand there and say they want what is best for this country when they have done nothing but bring it down? Obama/Biden...please start to defend us in a stonger way, we cannot lose this election, too many poeple depend on this country taking a new path...defend us with the truths about McCain and Palin, defend us with figures on the economy and how much better off we would be with you.......Remember you can fight back and defend us with dignity.............

I find Obama's use of "empty words" humorous because words is all he has to run on. He has no record of reform except in his speech transcripts.

was it empty words when McCain stood up to his republican party on immigration, campaign finance and the surge?

was it empty words when Palin stood up to a corrupt GOP governor and beat him in the election?

What has Obama done to prove his own rhetoric isn't just "empty words"?

There is no mocking here. Palin and McCain are flat out "LYING" to the public in person and in their latest advertisment.

- Palin SUPPORTED the BRIDGE TO NOWHERE.
- Palin used an Abrahmoff Lobbyist to get PORK for ALASKA.
- Palin illegally FIRED public employees as MAYOR and GOVERNOR.
- Palin illegally SNOOPED into PRIVELEGED Personnel Files and used what she found to fire a State Trooper.

Given all that information as FACT... she is no different than DICK CHENEY!

Republican presidency will bankrupt this country if elected.

Vote for a change that will turn America around.

OBAMA / BIDEN...08 AND 2012.

So what? aren't they? i wouldn't vote for them in a million years c/s it it time for a change.

Obama's right

Obama should release an ad that highlights things he said and the dates, then things the mccain campaign has said that are just echos of the same thing later on. mccain is really living up to the McSame brand. Really nothing orginal coming out of his campaign, reusing Obama's themes, stealing ideas from Clinton ads, his acceptance speech sounding a lot like bush's from 8 years ago. How can it be change when it really is more of the same? (oh yeah, he stole that line from Obama too).

Go get 'em Barack!

Obama/Biden '08!

Bottom line... Obama will win!

You are shameless-

You are the one who says "they(meaning McCain/Paln) are going to say be afraid of Barack, he's a mulsim, or, he doesn't look like us"

That is shameless!!!! McCain has never said anything close. In fact he has spoken out against those propagating the lies.

You are shameles Obama, and you should apologize for accusing them of saying such things.

If anyone is a racist, it is you. You went to an anti-white church for 20 years!!

The fact that this country is in a dead heat in this election speaks volumes on the ignorance and incompetence of the many American voters. How can people seriously entertain the fact that a McCain-Palin ticket will do anything significantly different? Wow. I can't believe that some people who don't like Bush are going to vote for a ticket that isn't significantly different. The democrats have offered answers while the Republicans have offered abstractions and changing messages. This race isn't in a dead heat because Obama is making many significant mistakes...it's in a dead heat because of the American people, their sheer indecisiveness, and their voting for ridiculous reasons (such as Palin not having an abortion because of her "family values" or even my candidate Obama for the historical significance of his campaign rather than because of where either stand on important issues). Voter turnout is lower than it was forty years ago....if only we could make it lower still so only informed halfway intelligent voters turn out.

Finally! Obama hitting back.

And Bounds can't even get his talking point right; "the speech" was in 2004.

Easy Math:

Bush campain (staff) = McCain campain (staff)
Bush promises = McCain promises
Bush's judgment & ability = McCain's judgment & ability
______________________________
Status quo = no change
= bad result for US

That's right! Enough smear tactics! It's time to fight back and set the record straight!

Obama/Biden 08

The future of our country is critical.
We have to get by the accusations and look at, listen
to the policies, ideas, cares.
As Barack Obama said, if you are better off than 8
years ago than you will probably support Mccain.
But our country certainly is not better off. We are
in the worse condition we have ever been in.
Age, color, gender have no bearing on how we
should vote. Survival must.
There are so many things we need to ask ourselves.
Get beyond "pesonalities" and take serious look at
where we are now and where we can be in the future.

He sticks to the issues and refuses to make personal attacks. This guy is nowhere near anything we have had running for POTUS in recent history.

If Tucker thinks that is negative....what does he think of how poorly McCain and Palin have treated Obama/Biden?

This guy is unbelievable. How can he criticize the McCain/Palin ticket for changing the theme of their campaign from experience to change? Is this not the same guy that calls McCain a Washington insider, blames McCain for being in Washington for the last 26 years while nothing has been done, then picks up a running mate who has been in Washington longer than McCain?

This man says that McCain and Palin think the American people are stupid, but it is Obama who is hoping that you are stupid. He is hoping that you are too stupid to realize that while has made many promises to the American people, he has yet to offer a single explanation of how he intends to fullfill these promises. This is a guy that hasn't penned a single bit of legislation, yet thinks he has the experience to be President of the United States. This is a guy that has hung around with conviceted felons, thugs, and thieves, yet doesn't want you to know about it because he thinks it is old school politics, the same old school politics that he used to get started in Chicago.

Yesterday Obama said you can't reinvent yourself. How then has he changed positions from what got him the party nomination to what he thinks everyone wants to hear to get him elected. How many more times can we listen to this guy change his story to try to pander to voters?

Oh I am sorry that you considered joining the military, and then realized that your excessive drug use as a teenager (that you have repeatedly admited to in the memoirs that you were too busy writing when you should have been writing laws) made you unqualified....

Wake up Americans, Obama thinks you are stupid and is betting on it come November.

Please someone correct me if I am wrong! By not returning the government's investment of some $20 million for the bridge to nowhere, is Sarah Palin not stealing money from the rest of us? Is she not denying the needy people in Ohio, Michigan, or Pennsylvania? Return the money, Sarah.

Get 'em Barack!

McCain/Palin trying to package themselves to appeal to the broadbase of Americans now want to use the Democrats lines?

Can't come up with their own platform?

Good grief, no imagination, no intelligence.

Whatever happened to "good old American know how"?

Does the country of invention and ingenuity have none?

Obama couldn't be more wrong. His "change" is nothing but socialism and income redistribution. How original, and frankly history has proven it to be a failed policy.

Empty words, no deeds, empty suit = Obama

Vote Republican

Tell it like it is, Mr. President.

Republicans were born shameless. Backwards policies and worshiping the all mighty dollar

I don't get it. When Obama is 0.5% ahead, CNN goes all over the place and keeps yelling that Obama is ahead in the poll. But when Senator McCain is 5% ahead (based on Gallup), according to CNN they are "DEAD EVEN". This is what CNN call impartial journalism!!!!!

I agree: they are shameless

I am tired of hearing people blaiming firearm manufacturers for deaths that occur with firearms. Obama wants to be able to trace guns used in felonies back to the manufacturer and use them as a scapegoat, so that he can say, "look, I'm doing somthing." So what do we do next? Blame Ford for all of the automobile deaths? Hold Chevorlet accountable for all of the felonies commited using thier vehicles? Take Mother Nature to court for producing viruses? It is called personal accountability people. Guns do not kill people any more than a car, it is the person in control of the inanimate object that kills.

Thats right I have to laugh when mccain was ranting change is coming and then standing there with a straight face talking about the lobbyisit and special intrest well mcbush before you go pandering and COPYING OBAMA BECAUSE YOU OFFER NOTHING BUT THE SAME THATS WHY YOUR COPYING HIM you better start with your campaign clean up all your lobbisit like your campaign managers OBAMAS RIGHT AMERICANS ARE NOT STUPID! oh and mccains pitbull with lipstick IS A LIAR AND A FRAUD!

When Obama was leading against Hillary in the Democratic election and Hillary was pounding him about experience He maintained that in politics people should always judge a candidate through his issues and judgement. Fine ok but now with the Republic party doing better and the momentum actually shifting their way because of the Palin factor Obama is unable to handle it and instead of talking about issues he is switching attacking Palin and her achievements. Instead of asking the question Why is she opposing the bridge to nowhere now when she was for it earlier he is portraying her as a flip flop. When Obama is finding hard handling Palin power how is going to handle world leaders especially Putin.It is inexperience and he is unable and confused to go through the situation.Where is his judgement now ? Nice man need not be a powerful leader and for America we need a powerful and tough leader.Obama I am sorry you are not.

we need to make sure the media gets allthe hard facts out about palin it amazing how shes hidding behind her own skirt sounds more like a poodle then pit bull

I want to think Obama for his message for the rules of phonics. I did not know that he owned any words...especially "change." I guess I need to send him a check every time I say "change"! He really needs to get back on his message and stop being so arrogant. I use to support him, but now...he is starting look like an empty suit.

"OMG he is sooo cool!" what? he's a comedian now?

Well it seems Obama is now officially on major defense, and that ain't a good thing for a candidate who was just recently riding so high. What happened!!

Oh, YOU should talk!
What is shameful is how you mock, ridicule, lie, whine about others who disagree with you! That goes for your fan club as well.

From the moment you started ragging on Hillary Clinton you lost all credibility. You have nothing to run on, no accomplishments, no experience of actually doing anything, so the best you can do is slam your opponent. LOL! Your behavior is really telling Mr. Obama. You are NOT "change we can believe in." Just go away.

Anyone who can't see what the McIdiot camp is doing doesn't deserve to vote – at all.

They have no fresh ideas so they take, take, take from Obama and claim it as theirs. PLEASE.

Anytime you hear or see the word CHANGE the first person that comes to mind is BARACK OBAMA!

Now all of a sudden McHouses is change? L.O.L.O.L.

GET THE F OUTTA HERE!!

McCain has taken every innovative idea from the more savvy Barack Obama and tried to claim it as his own. Next thing McCain will say is that he too was originally opposed to the war in Iraq. It is election time and McCain will say anything true or not to get some votes and continue the streak that we have been in for the past eight years!

Obama/Biden in 08!

Obama is absolutely right. A few months ago McCain actually went as far as to mock Obama's 'Change' themed message, and now all of a sudden he's going to overturn Washington like a pre-octogenarian, superhero politician?? I think not! Republicans have ran Washington for the last 8 years. McCain has served his party, involving himself in the same 'Washington politics' that he's now condemning, for the last 26 years. So is it possible for a presidential candidate to vote with the existing cheif executive 90% of the time, and then look into the camera with a straight face and say, "You tell Washington..... change is coming"? Seriously..., does the GOP party REALLY think Americans are that gullible??

Why hasn't anyone question Palin or the McCain people in regards to the story that Palin used a racial slur after Obama won the nomination? Moose shooter? I wonder if she likes to hunt other things as well?

Shameless is writing two books and no policy. Shameless is using your race to further your political ambitions. Shameless is accusing your opponent of using "empty words" when you've been doing it since you started running in the primaries. Shameless is changing your position on everything from your spiritual leader to Iraq. Shameless is telling people in Pennsylvania one thing and then talking about them behind their backs in San Francisco. Shameless is not even going to Kentucky and Virginia because you felt YOU didn't need THEM. Shameless is not wanting FL and MI to have their votes count because it helped you at the time but wanting them to have a full vote later when......it would help you. Shameless is having no experience but running for President anyway because you want to further your ambition, not because you want to help the country. Shameless is being all about yourself at the expense of the entire country. Go away Barack.
McCain 08/Hillary 2012

Senator Obama, it's good to see you really starting to fight back. Many of your supporters, just like me, need to see you get mad about something. Don't get me wrong, your message of hope is more than inspiring, especially considering how so many of us have been overlooked by the current administration for so long. Unfortunately though, this is not a fight that can be won with hope alone.

Get mad. Go out on the offensive. Don't take a purely defensive stance. McCain is going to criticize you regardless of how you decide to play this out. So you might as well take the control back and put him back into the position of having to follow and answer to you.

I may not be a US citizen but I do have a stake in this election, as do my fellow Canadians. Here's a man who'se already changed the world, inspiring people to practice personal responsibility, and he's beng insulted by people who claim that he's never held any position of responsibilty (university professor and community orgnizer are plenty big responsibilities, and the kinds of people who disagree are probably also the kinds who think that being a teacher and a parent is not a responsibility). So McCain went off to war because his father and grandfather were warriors. By his own admission he was interested in making them proud and picking up chicks. So drop it already with the war years. Palin's a pitbull, sort of the way we describe terrorists, so she would do well to drop that analogy. Drop the lies and attacks and let's get onto what it takes to form a democracy, to honour a constitution. That means working together and respecting the other. We could use some of that here to the north of the 48th, and I don't see anyone up here who gets it. We need Obama!

Ob really need to figth back harder!!!
Americans like to figth! This is how we measure what you are about.
Can you take a punch OB! Yes you can! You have prove this already.
But, and this is the question?
CAN YOU GIVE A PUNCH!?
You are in the ring with a dirty figther that will say and do anything to win an election.
MCAIN CAMP ALREADY SAID
WE ARE HERE TO WIN THIS ELECTION!!
WE ARE NOT HERE TO HELP THE PEOPLE!
IT'S ONLY ABOUT THE ELECTION STUPID!

Ah, the sweet sounds of absolute desperation. Barack Obama has run the most shameless campaign, perhaps, in the history of world politics. He has NO record of experience or meaningful legislation but has thrust his charade on the global stage using a rally cry of change to gain acceptance. Along the way, he has bullied opponents, deployed highly grandiose props and hidden behind his half-black status to deflect any meaningful critiques. Now, he has the audacity to cry foul when true agents of change- politicians who HAVE fought the establishment in positions of power- campaign under the change banner. Here's news for you, BO, you do not have a copyright on the word "change". Your words, in general, are hollow and pathetic. You will lose and lose big time in November.

Is the pot calling the kettle black?

Mr Bounds we have heard that line from Hillary Clinton before.Do more research.Keep talking about Obama's lack of experience if not you are flip flopping. But you must take a moment and ask the likes of Biden,Dodd,HILLARY etc about their own experience with Obama's inexperience.

No. ... they are shameless. ... they just will do and say anything to win regardless of how stupid they sound and look.

I don't think Palin and McCain are lying about their intention to change. It will be a change for the worse. But Hey, it's change!

More money to large companies to further reward outsourcing practices.
More wars
More guns
More teenage pregnancies
More lack of energy.

and so on and so on.

The Republican Party is a disgrace to this country...

Is this all Obama can come up with? He keeps saying how we must focus on the issues and istead of sticking to the issues and telling us how he is going to pay for the nearly 1 billion in goverment subsidies he is proposing he just tries to find ways to knock down the competition, exactly what he is "preaching" against. It's obvious that he is scrambling now to come up with any dirty tricks he can to get the attention away from the competition.

McCain is just another Bush,,,,,,,,,McCain been in office for 26 years and this country is in trouble with republican policy....Wake up American with the republican in the house more of the same more American is suffering with McCain and Bush policy...I want these old time politician to get voted out. We need new policy with the Demoncratic

does sen. Obama know how ridiculous and pathetic he is starting to sound.he comes off as a whiner even his voice as taken on a pleading tone. he who as taken almost all of his proposals from other candidates is accusing McCain of stealing his platform when as McCain not said he was going to change the way politics are done in Washington? his phrase i will tell you their names, i will make them famous, as been there from the start. people just were not paying attention

GET THEM!! Roast the liars!!!

ONE NATION

I believe their "theme" is "Country First"? And to shake up the status quo. Leading envolves more than pressing the "present" button. Oh and the bridge to nowhere broken record should be retired at this point seems like 2 week old news!

Shameless and shamelessly insultive to the American intelligence.

How the GOP could even attempt to impose this obviously unqualified lady onto the voters, is the insult of the century. I shudder to think what will become of the USA and its affairs, nationally and internationally, should the Repubs form the next Government and, God forbid, something should happen to John McShame launching the self-proclaimed 'pitbull' into the presidency and as Commander-in-Chief.

The Vice-presidential debate (Biden/Palin) will support my argument with abundant clarity.

Wake up America....this is the time for sanity and will chart our collective future.

George...Obama/Biden '08

It's about time BO starts hitting these people about their lies and distortions.

Brian Rogers (McCain's spokesman) said yesterday that BO had taken $1 billion in earmarks for Illinois. Real number? $311 million first year, $0 second year.

Compare that to $750 million that Palin received for Alaska – the highest per-capita earmark receipt in the country.

And she's a REFORMER????

Wow, Obama really needs to "reactivate" those 527's and quick because his "Aw shucks" attitude isn't going to help him when the Republicans REALLY start to go dirty on him.

If he loses this election it will be because he was unwilling to unleash the outrage pent up in Democrats, Independents and even Republicans at what the Bush administration has done in the past 8 years.

I can only hope that he does what he needs to do, for the sake of the future of our country.

Obama...showing his smugness and arrogance!

You tell them Barack! We got your back and fighting against the nonsense down here in the trenches! We have had ENOUGH of this nonsense!

Jesus was a Community Ogranizer, Pontius Pilot was a Governor!

It is time for Obama's campaign to be on the offensive and hit hard on the McCain-Palin ticket at the same time avoiding the temptation of criticizing Ms.Palin directly. There are a lot of skeletons in her professional life that need to be pointed out to the public. Let the media and surrogates of Obama dig into weaknesses of her personal life. These don't deserve the attention of Obama or Biden. In any case don't do anything in a panic mode.

Palin has as much experience if not more experience as Obama and a record of accomplishments to boot, to include reforming Alaskan politics at the local and state level. Obama has always gone along with the Democratic Party. Politics and baggage notwithstanding, both have baggage, who is the real agent of change here.

Once again, we see issues set aside by subtle propaganda. The Republicans have now revealed the purpose behind the "false messiah" ads against Obama: they're now running Palin as the "messiah" the Republican base is hungry for, to save them from the bad old commie liberals. That's why they say the election's not about issues, because they're eager to carry out any manipulation, no matter how unprincipled, to grasp power.

This is what the Obama campaign just doesn't get: to the Republican campaign machine, issues don't matter, principles don't matter, there are no values except power, the quest for power takes precedence over everything. The American people are gullible enough, unprincipled enough, to follow such leaders into any villainy.

What good can come of this?

Shameless! Like continuing to spread rumors about Palin even after Snopes and Factcheck has debunked them.
Pot... Kettle... etc.

He's desparate. His campaign has gone South, and all he can say is "Liar, liar, pants on fire." Poor Barack, the Chicago political manual didn't include a chapter on fighting fair when you are in trouble. LOL
p.s. And Hillary is chuckling in private. you better believe it.

Being a moose shooter does not make one cool. It makes her a coward. Shame on you Obama, you are sounding more and more like just another big Leo blowhard.

SO TRUE – we have had 8 years of ROVIAN style politics. My head is spinning with all the spin – I can't keep up.

Seems to me the democrat party should spend more time laying out their plans for change instead of spending their time and energies rebutting the republicans. I wish Obama would be more diplomatic in his messages. I believe yesterday I heard him calling the Americans who believe the republicans stupid. Previously I believe he's made a derogatory comment towards Americans as well. I also wish word would get out about Obama's middle name – Hussein and I'd like to hear about exactly what his father's faith was.

way to go obama!!!! it ia about time

Barack's right - Republicans are saying anything they can to get elected. The only reason they went with a woman was to cater to dissatified Hillary voters. Otherwise, the GOP has shown little interest in helping women. Palin may be a woman, but she is not a proponent of women's issues.

McCain takes a former beauty queen for a wife, and now a former beauty queen for a running mate. I guess it's the Barbie-doll effect.

McNutCake only got PigLin on the Ticket so he could get the Hillary People on his side. They are not of Change... Obama/Biden are of Change.
They made it like he's asked for money (Earmarks) for the residents of Illinois (311 Million – last year) & it was way more than the Earmarks she has asked for in Alaska... but there are MORE people in Illinois & it came out to be like $25 per citizen & the money she was requesting for her SMALLER populated Alaska was like 198 Million (this year) – like $295 per citizen... so if Alaska were a larger populated state –
would it still have been that much per citizen? If so, her Earmarks would be way higher than his.
And she did support The Bridge To No Where... yet, no one is bothering to say why she kept part of the monies from the Project & what it was used for... Even though she says: I said "Thanks, but No Thanks to The Bridge to no Where"... and if that was the case – then she should have been wanting to give all of the money back.

No McNutCake/PigLin

Obama/Biden '08 &'12

Cmon.....the word change is not patented by the Obama campaign. Obama seems to be getting desperate in the last week. Is he getting nervous?

I think Obama is right.It's just unbelievable how the republican party can lie without blinking their eyes. And John Mcsame was singing all the way long. Country first. What happened to that? Because when you pick for v.p someone inexperience and you never met in your entire life spoke with her for 15 min. And You pick her for vp just because you want to energize your party. I don't think you put your country first.That mean Mcsame will do whatever it's takes to win this election even sacrifice the american people. i can not vote for someone like that. Please america it's okay to make the same mistake once or twice but not three times. God bless america.

That doesn't surprise me about Barack Obama his arrogance will be the factor why he loses the race. Barack needs another appearance on the Oprah Show the most Richest and Raciest women on the face of this earth. Where Barack went wrong he didn't pick Hillary and this will cost him the bid for the White House. We need change but I have never heard Barack give a blueprint on how his change is will make a difference. I agree the US need a change and this political race Change has been the outline of Barack Campaign but real change will he bring he's still a politician just like all the rest of them. It's Barack arrogance that has CHANGED my mind not to vote for him.

It's about time you start going on the offensive, now lets have some tv ads exposing these liars.

At least we know where CNN stands on this, with its loaded language of Obama's "mocking" reaching "new heights."

Guess what, Obama wasn't "mocking" Sarah. He was calling her out. I don't see CNN using this kind of loaded language in its reverential treatment of Palin these days while she and McCain pile on vile, unsupported vitriol upon Obama, while ignoring all the substantive issues of the day. Economy, anyone?

Good for you Obama! Shameless is just the beginning of who they are. If America falls for the same old lies the McShame camp is offering then WE will truely get what WE deserve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Republicans are hypocrits in every way. In an interview with the Daily Show, Huckabee (one of the generally less-intolerable Republicans) compared the reception that Sarah Palin is receiving to one that meets Britney Spears. It was what, a month and a half ago, that the Republicans were disparaging Obama for receiving celebrity turnouts. Turns out that they've just been jealous.

McCain/Palin 90% Bush – 10% Maverick

Obama is one to talk about "empty words."

So now McCain leads the polls proving once again how stupid you Americans really are.

CNN Post this.

Obama/Obama Supporters

You people are shameless. You didn't have any guts to pick Hillary as running mate. Give me one reason why you didn't select Hillary as running mate when she is a better candidate than you. You are sexist and racist. Youare sexist hence you didn't select Hillary as running mate. You lied, You cheted american people. You didn't keep country first. You are so arrogant that you ignored Clintons when they did so much to the counttry. I want you and DNC learn a lesson of lifetime by loosing this election.

Undecided – Former Hillary Supporter

After reading this article all of Obama's bashing to McCain-Palin seems rather childish. Obama using reverse psychology on the crowd is not the way to go about this election. Saying"I don't want to be mean" is another ploy to have all his supporters get trapped in his so called kindness. We will see how unshameful you will be in thursday's debate.

1,2,3, now hear comes the Obama haters!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, let me see if I can save the haters a little trouble...

* He is inexperienced but that is not a major concern for McCain as he picked Palin...

* He did stand up to his party... humm... Who party got America all messed up? humm.. that's right the Republicans...

* He is nothing but talk.... humm, words do matter. Nothing can be done without being able to communicate...

Well said Senator. The Republicans go from I'm the most experienced to I'm the most capable of changing. WOW! Maybe everyone should recreate themselves. The world may be a better place.

America desires the truth!

They're shameless and Americans would be stupid, yes I said it STUPID if the fall for the REPUBLICANS politricks this year.

NO McCAIN, No Palin!!!

Oh! My heart goes out to America!!!

P-l-e-a-s-e open your eyes...McCain/Palin will be WORSE than Bush/Cheney.

Obama/Biden '08

I like this new attack style Barack.

Obama has got to get mean! The lies are abundant...I read somewhere that when Palin left the mayor's office in Wasilla, taxes were increased 38% and the town was millions of dollars in debt. Where are the reporters scooping these kinds of stories? She took that porkbarrel money, she didn't sell the plane on EBay, she has extremist religious views...Obama and the media need to take off the gloves!!!!!

Obama should have "hit" them even harder. He needs to call them on this.
McPalin seems to want it both ways. They came out swinging at the Repub convention, and were quite snobbish and condescending. McPalin mocks him one minute and then tries to steal the mantra of change the next minute. Which is it?

Obama needs to fight back!

Politicians are the managers of the nation's business. Bush and his Republican followers in Congress, especially McCain, have managed the country very, very badly.

Republicans have had full control for almost 8 years, and they have led the country in the seriously wrong direction.

We voters gave Republicans a chance. We believed that Bush and the Republican Congress would make things better. They used us. They failed us.

John McCain is a dedicated Bush supporter. Sarah Palin is nothing but a tool in McCain's plan, and herself a dedicated Republican.

We voters know that McCain and Palin have helped lead the country in the wrong direction. We aren't so stupid as to let them make a bad situation worse.

McCain is still running an ad in NC that says Obama will raise our Income Taxes.

That's a lie. These lying ads need to be stopped.

Obama is really scared now, and on the defense big time! What's all this talk about "supporting our current President" as a bad thing? As Americans isn't that what we are supposed to do? We may not agree with everything that pertains to the Oval Office, but to indicate that by supporting the President you are less than honorable is pathetic, and should be a good indication as to Obamas lack of responsibility and accountability, not to mention his ignorance. Give me a break, how many continued to support Bill the crook Clinton after not only Whitewater, lieing under oath,being impeached, and ignoring the threat of Bin Laden and allowing him to go about as he pleased. Wake up people, this guy is dangerous and leading you down the path of retreat and defeat.

Shameless is the word! Hypocrit is another.

Obama/biden '08

More bias language against Obama. CNN is shamelessly supporting Sarah Palin and McCain. Why is Palin always energizing and invigorating and powerful and Obama is mocking?

It is kind of suspicious how McCain switched to the change message. My question is how can you be a leader following the person you trying to lead? And Mrs. Palin poor Mrs. Palin wait until the main stream media realizes that she is the media/actor. Sandra Bullock wants her job back.

HA HA HA HA HA!!

"EMPTY WORDS"?

Were those the words used by ZERO-BAMA??

I am still laughing!!!

Coming from the Anointed One, with no experience, no judgment, no accomplishments!!! OMG!!!

NO BAMA. NO WAY!!!

What Obama fails to understand is that experience doesn't negate the possibility of change, it rather equips one with the skill to bring about that change.

Neither does the fact that one is a Republican preclude the possibility for change – he criticised Hillary for not being change orientated yet they are both Democrats. Party allegiance has little to do with it as he has clearly pointed out.

Whereas both McCain and Palin have actual examples of past changes they have brought about to cite, Obama has none. The irony (hypocrisy even) of him calling their words "empty" is what is truly “shameless”.

Yes they are. Whats with Palin on the stump? She sounds like a parrot repeating the same lines her speech writer gave her at the Convention over and over and over and over again? How about some original thought and some fresh talking abouts about WHAT THE HELL YOU ACTUALLY PLAN ON DOING IF ELECTED!!! Whats truly pathetic is that the American zombies...I mean..people and falling for this crap. No wonder we've become the laughing stock of the world and the Russian's no longer fear us. We've lost all respect.

wha..wha..wha.. egotistical elitis. he can't bare to see that he's popularity have faded and that his true color is being revealed and "empty suit" .. "..just words.." give me a break. Wake up America!

I'm just amazed that people (whoever those being polled are anyway) are saying "You know, the past eight years haven't been so bad after all, let's get another four!" McCain and Palin want to turn this election into "Presidental Idol" and people are actually falling for it. It just goes to show how far we've sunk as a country.
The debates will be the real test.

Talk about "empty"...how about an empty resume B. Hussein Obama.

Obama is SCARED. Real SCARED. He is mocking and distorting the facts. He is upset that he didn't agree on public campaign funds, thinking all the Clinton people would pour money in his coffers this summer. He thought his grand pretentious Greek Column stage set would woo the world. He thought after the Democratic Convention his lead would be in the double digits. All wrong.

Face it, Obama, the only one to whom the phrase "empty words" can apply is YOU.

This message by a life-long liberal Democrat.

It's about time someone called them out on their lies.

I've been a republican all my life.

I'm voting for Obama.

correction:
An Interview in her home town is not a TRUE interview!

Obama is right to show the absurdity of McCain's new "change" mantra.

McCain's vapid argument boils down to this: "If you want change, don't change."

The problem is, McCain's guiding philosophy is wrong. Any change he would bring would be like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Why is moose shooting "cool" (I am a hunter) – but my question is, why is it cool that Palin is a hunter.. Because she is a woman?

I am not suggesting that Senator Obama's comment was sexist. It is just that there are so many double-standards to the McCain / Palin ticket. Palin is NOT being judged equally with a male. She is being pampered – and McCain is NOT being questioned as he should on his choice of VP in my opinion. That choice is the furthest from change. Just like Bush, Pallin governs with her God on her sleeve. Some people will support that – but let us face that this does not constitute change!

Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council said today that there are no evident in the short time that Governor Palin has been in office – that she will govern with her faith.

Here are some examples to the contrary of:

Governor Palin has pushed for Creationism to be taught in schools

Governor Palin cut the the support for a organization because it serves young single mothers ( budget line item veto by Palin)

Governor Palin states that sending troops to Iraq is on Gods call

Governor Palin asked that people pray to God for the Alaskan pipeline (to be built) and stated that he answered 'our prayers' when it went through

As a mayor, Palin asked if the Librarian would remove certain books on her request. The librarian refused. Palin moved to fire her as she stated because she did not feel she was supporting her

Mind you, I am not speaking against faith. But these are clear evidence that Palin governs with her Lord, with her interpretation of the Lord – not my enterpretation, my Lord has love, forgiveness and peace at the center, so i.e. does not support the Iraq war like that of Bush and Palin both......

Shameless politicians appeal to brainless voters.

Yes Obama, be mean because your policies are failures. Gov. Strickland (democratic governor of Ohio) wrote an article in the Wall Street Journal saying that Ohio was doing much better than everyone says because:

"...we restructured our tax laws to lower the burden for business" – Obama want to raise taxes.

"Exports are booming" – Obama wants dramatically reduce trade agreements and make them more political.

Apparently, successful democratic adminstrations are successful because they adopt McCain's policies and not Obama's.

Yes, they are RUTHLESS! Can't wait for the debate!

Senator Obama hit the nail on the head! The conservatives pretend to be God fearing people, yeah right. I am a Christian and I am absolutely surprised at how nasty, ruthless, mean, disgusting, hateful these people are. The Bible speaks against everything that these people do and say. My prayer is that God will reveal to all the evil that these people stand for. I am so proud of Mr. Obama for taking the high road. No McCain/Palin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for speaking the truth Obama!

It won't make any difference. The very fact that that McCain and the Republicans were using "Change" as a mantra at their convention shows that they have no shame and no clue how ridiculous they sound.

McCain, like Bush, thinks if he lies or makes stuff up and says it loudly and often enough, it will become the truth. Bush has done this all through his Presidency and it's actually worked for him, so now McCain's going to give it a try. Hopefully American's are smarter now, but I doubt it.

It's true too. There's an article in the *Wall Street Journal* (of all places) today blasting McCain and Palin for their outright blatant lies, both about the Bridge to Nowhere (which Palin really was a strong supporter of until it because a political albatross), and about their claims that Obama has gotten $1 billion in earmarks.

Palin claimed that when Congress tried to send them hundreds of millions for the Bridge to Nowhere, she told them thanks but no thanks. What she actually said back then was that, since Congress wasn't going to fund the Bridge to Nowhere, Alaska was just going to have to wait and work on other projects. But she still didn't give back the $400 million in taxpayer money she had already received.

When the Obama campaign called them on this, the McCain campaign said they were lying and in hysterics because Obama is worried that when (in the unlikely event) McCain and Palin get into the White House they'll stop the $1 billion in earmarks Obama has asked for. At this point in the WSJ article it points out that Obama only asked for $300 million last year, and nothing in earmarks this year. And it then went on to point out that in two years as governor Palin has wrangled $700 million in earmarks for Alaska. The Wall Street Journal, most biased of Republican newspapers, pointed this out!

It's as plain as the nose on your face and mine that McCain and Palin and the GOP are outright lying, and they're accusing Obama of lying and they're lying about that as well. For a vice presidential candidate who claims to be a Christian, Sarah Palin bears false witness on a frighteningly regular basis. Lying is against the 9th Commandment. What kind of "Christian" is she? What kind of leader lies so often and so readily? Do you really want Sarah Palin as your vice president, with about a 1 in 6 chance or better of becoming your president? Do you want McCain, who has outright lied about Obama asking for $1 billion in earmarks, to be your president? Do those lying weasels speak for you?

Obama is totally 100% right! Mccain has been using Obama's lines, strategy and everything else I could of that is new and different in his more successful campaign. It is sad that some Americans are clueless enough not to see that. Mccain has jumped from "experience" to "change" to "changing washington" to a fresh face" to anything and everything that Obama talks about. That is such bull! Mcccain is no change, especially not when he brings in someone even more conservative than GW Bush. Americans are smarter than that and we will vote for the true change agent and that is Obama!

Democrats messed up the primary election, should have been Clinton/Obama ticket and 100% to win in November. They had a chance but Obama thought he can win it without and mistrated Clinton. No judgement!

Smells like desperation for "The Messiah"-thought you weren't playing silly political games BO????-talk about shameless!!!

NO WAY NO HOW NOBAMA!!!!!

America is nothing but a nation of Redneck Racist. Then you people go around and say you are the beacon of freedom. Hahahahahaha. Your country is a Joke. I have a friend who says if McCain/Palin wins this election, he is moving to my country and I cannot blame him. He is ashamed to call himself an american.

Senator Obama should take care not to attack Sarah Palin., the best antidote to that is Hillary Clinton., How do you break a Diamond... by using another Diamond., then the whole issue of "sexism" will dissapear. Another alternative would be to just ignore her and go for Mcain.

Much as I support Senator Obama, I think he is treading on fragile grounds, leave Sarah Palin to Hillary.... and there again it has to be done at the right time. If Sarah Palin could be marginalised without creating any sympathy for her amongst the voting public, then I feel the Democrats could wrap this election.,

obama makes me laugh... this guy is going down faster than the titanic....

Obama is losing it

OBAMA TELL THEM THE TRUTH,NOW THEY WANT TO USE UR LOGO OF CHANGE AS THERES.SHAME ON THEM.ALL REPUBLICANS ARE LIARS.
OBAMA/BIDEN 08

I have to agree with Senator Obama with his words here. How is the team McCain going to change our current situation? They don't talk about economy, health care, securing jobs, and many more important social issues that will affect this country. I don't care what party you are affiliated yourself with. If you align your policy with the current administration, it is NOT going to be any change.

NO more Bush administration. Thank you.

I am an independant. I have to strongly agree with Obama on this. He is right on. They are playing politics...the kind of politics you can only shake your head and say "well, that's politics for you!"

It's not right to do whatever just to get elected. It's wrong to overlook this kind of behavior because they are part of your prefered party. This is not the day when we need the dog eat dog approach.

I believe that Obama's unique personal history gives him the insight, and his intelligence gives him the tools to really do things differently.

So he is starting on them like he did Hillary. The difference here is the MSM is reporting his actions. While he slurred and started underhanded attacks on Hillary that the MSM twisted around and blamed her for.

It is a shame that the MSM was protraying obama as a messiah and not telling the truth about him. See what happened when they did start. He can't pull away from a so-so republican candidate.

HILLARY WOULD BE 15-20 POINTS AHEAD.

Obama hit it on the button. The Republican party is the party of greed, corruption, fear, lies and ignorance and for McCain to pose as an agent of change is entirely preposterous, considering his and Palin's positions are nearly entirely congruent with the failed policies of GW Bush.
Obama/Biden need to swing right back and hit the Republicans hard for their disastrous record.

Well, if anyone's an authority on "empty words", it's Barack Obama.

When liberal’s get pressured and stumped they go back to their roots and act out as a child. So vote for Adults this year McCain-Palin.

Factcheck: Straight Talk Express II
Palin Billed for Nights Spent at Home
Taxpayers also funded Husband's, Kid's Travel
Kids had to do business for Alaska
Palin for Bridge to Nowhere
Palin had books censored from the library due to her beliefs
Palin threaten to fire the library
Town stood up for the libararian
Palin sold Jet to private citizen for a loss
Drip, Drip,Drip..............................................!

Hit 'em hard OBama
McCain doesn't care if he dies and leaves behind a VP ill prepared to lead this nation.
As far as I am concerned Palin is Bush with lipstick.

…all you hear from Mccain/Palin are the words "earmark and pork-barrel". What you here from Obama/BIden are the words "economy. education funding, jobs, health care/insurance, veterans, energy policy" Come on America…what's important to you? Are you better off than you were 8 years ago? Are you happier than you were 8 years ago?
Wake up and smell the coffee! Mccain/Palin and the Republicans want us to think only they can help us…that only they know what's best. The truth is, we are the ones we have been waiting for. We are the ones that know best. We are the ones that are losing our jobs and our homes, that can't afford see a doctor, that can't afford an education beyond high school. Not them…25% of the deligates to the DNC convention were people of color. The RNC…less than 3%. Are these the people that can speak for all of us?

True in indeed!! They are shameless!!!

"moose shooter"

heh

If Obama doesn't win, it will only be because people would rather have "their team" win than actually help this country make progress forward towards a better economic, security, and international condition.

Record unemployment, the biggest deficit in history, declining school performance, an overstretched military unable to react to legitimate threats...the list of bad decisions the Republicans have made goes on and on. Why in the world would we want more of the same? McCain offers nothing different than Bush's past 8 years except a new name on the desk. That's not change I can believe in.

yea! see, obama has to get his quick shots back..... i mean, they are indeed very shameful in portraying themselves as something they are obviously not! how can they bash obama for his message of change, running it on experience because these are tought times and you gotta kno wut u doin... and now he picks his vp and flip-flops his message to change. how hypocritical. i have learned through research and throughout this whole campaign how deceitful both "mavericks" really are. how truly shameful!

obama/biden 08-12

This is good. I'm sure the Senator is a master at multi-tasking. That said, he needs to have two messages going at once. One on the issues and one that slams the heck out of opposition. Senator Biden as well. Frankly, even if they go on the attack, what do they have to lose. (Let's not forget the stolen election of 2000 and the swift boating of 2004.)

Now, because of the covert (or perhaps not so covert) racism in this country, they may be blocked from winning anyway. Perhaps it's time to come out swinging and just see what happens.

Yes They Are Obama. Once A PUMA here, but cant stand by and let these to freeks win the Election. I guess Im all abourd the Obama Train!

Obama is a nut! He can't even speak properly and he can't give a straight answer. So I want to know, what is he talking about?

Who gives the most empty words? Obama, no question about it!

McCain 2008!

I do believe Mr. Nobama is getting "skeered"!! He is finally seeing that people are waking up to him and his empty words and are changing their minds to vote for the next President – John McCain.

When he can walk on water and change water to wine, maybe, just maybe he can convince someone (never me) that he is the one great messiah that has been waiting to make his grand appearance.

In the meantime, President McCain and Vice-President Palin will be taking care of the United State in the manner it should be – and it is not above their pay level.

Uppity Obama at it again...

so much for change and taking the higher ground, staying positive. obama is scared and whining.

This is stolen directly from the Hillary campaign a few months ago:
"... Barack Obama has a speech he gave in 2002," said Bounds
(McCain spokesperson, YESTERDAY).
The GOP is confident enough that they have the 50% plus one votes that now they are flaunting it; openly lying and stealing, everyone on the McCain train is fully aware of what they're doing.
The only defense is to be honest and RELENTLESS, Hammer 'em night and day!! If the GOP wins, the truth will only have this public platform for another 2 months, so make the most of it, Obama!

EXACTLY!!!

America was dumb to pick GEORGE BUSH as President; and we'll be even dumber if we pick more of the same with McCain!

And Palin....I'm at a lost for words. She has less experience than Bush.

Why isnt the media calling her out? Every single word she utters is a lie. Is it because she's a female? Are you afraid of being called a sexist? You didnt have that fear when Obama was running his primary. I suppose the media knew that white Americans wouldnt call them racists. Palen is a liar. Why are people so naive to jump on this womans...

Unfortunately no one is listening!
Palin not only shows to be a liar but also a theif! She was for the brigde to no where until she was running for govenor and then was against it.
She had the earmark money form the government for the bridge and never returned it. Instead gave out money to the residences of Alaska to make herself look good. That money should of been returned to the US government since was not used for what it was intended.
For being a Christian she sure sins alot!
She asked for close to 200 million this year in earmarks which shows McCain and Palin not on same page.
McCain is a Bush PUPPET having his strings pulled by Bush and Bushs' lobbiest. Who works for McCain? Bushs' people! Who writes McCains and Palin speechs? Bush's people!
OHHhh...lol.... Watch Palin speeches a few months back. She is terrible! She can not give a speech without reading what she needs to say!
Think back! Before McCain started this "drill here drill now" Bush was pushing for offshore drilling.
Who does this offshore drilling benefit? Oil Companies, Bush and his family! They say to start Offshore now wont do anything for 10 years.
The media made a big deal over Michelle Obama statement of being a proud american and called her unpatriotic. But, Todd Palin was involved with a group wanting to seperate Alaska from the USA and the media is letting that go! Sounds very unpatriotic to me!

Come on media be fair for a change! STOP trying to make Palin look like a GOD! Stop giving her the spot light on the news. Heck, she not giving you interviews! only report the dirt until she gives interviews! An interview in her home town is the a true interview! And asking her family and friends what they think of her is bias! Ask people that don't like her!

Game on, Barack! Go get 'em!

Hit em hard Obama. Don't give McSham a chance to keep telling the American people his lies. Being a POW does not equal president of the United State. There is no Mavrick in this trickstar.

well cnn is not going to ask the real questions so obama has no choice... Why wont cnn and all these other media networks report on the lies?

John McCain did change his tune. It used to be about experience. Now it's about change. He is copying Obama because he noticed that was what's working. And he can't be trusted to change anything – Bush also ran as a moderate, promising change. What good did that do us? Please, folks – don't reward the Republican party another four years just because you are afraid to vote for a black man.

As much as we know that the repubs are using empty words and tricks to fool the electorate, if the dems do not redouble their effort and step up to the plate and expose them, the repubs will succeed in fooling America once more.

Who among the dems leadership will stop being coy and denounce the policies of the repubs that bring hard time and isolate America in the world?

The Dems foot soldiers are doing a great job in stalling the repubs momentum so far and we want the leardership to do the same.

I doubt that the repubs tricks will prevail this time.

Obama/Biden 08/12.

Can you say "desperation".

Obama voted 97% time with the democrats. Where's the reaching across party lines in that one. Who voted for the Bridge to Nowhere?
Obama/Biden. Who voted against the Bridge to Nowhere? McCain
Palin did not become governor until 2006, bill for bridge was voted on in2005.

THATS RIIGHT!!!!!!!!!

-V

Ob(s)ama, you are a looseeeeer....
People realize that you are nothing but empty talking bag...

I watched this town hall meeting live on cnn.com. Everyone needs to watch at least one rally of each candidate, end to end. Obama presented a detailed plan, outlining what he would do about the problems that burden 95% of Americans. He then stayed for several minutes afterwards to answer tough questions from the crowd. McCain and Palin do neither.

If McCain cares, he would talk to folks. If Palin was "ready on day one", she'd be presenting herself to the media. The GOP is hiding and they know it.

Obama/Biden 08!

Enough with the Swift Boat smears
Enough with the lying
Enough with the pandering to the lowbrow with unqualified VP
Enough with the glossing over of pertinant facts
Enough of pretending your running mate is qualified

Enough, enough, enough.

America's collective IQ needs to tick upward a few points or we're going to render this great nation ineffective for another four years. Insanity is doing the same thing for three consecutive elections and expecting better results.

ENOUGH!

They are indeed shameless. Sarah Palin has launched an emotional appeal to the families of special needs persons. As the parent of a person with a severe disability, I can tell her - and all of them - that the child requires more parental involvement than someone undertaking a job with the demands of the vice presidency can provide. And it's best with two parents, so her husband can't step in and take her place. Take it from one who has been there. There's only so far that a person's energies and stamina can be stretched. Gov. Palin has a choice: her ambition or her child.

Obama you want to change the constitution and give up on free markets... they want to use free markets and increase the amount of options people have..... give up your losing and your not coming back... quit now... tell your supporters to take more responsibility for their own actions in life.. thats all the help you can give them,

Creationism?
Global warming is not in part man made?
Anti-abortion?
The world is what, 5,000 years old?
The war in Iraq is God's plan?

If Palin becomes VP, she has a ten percent chance of becoming President due to McCain's age and health.

You guys vote in this team of mystical thinkers, and you'll get the government that puts your economy into the toilet with anti-scientific thinking and wars based on religious beliefs. Americans, get into the 21st century! You endanger the whole world with this choice.

It's unfortunate that Obama's record of change and commitment to change are overshadowed by the the Republican ticket, which is building up cult of personality in order to hide their pandering to the far right. I mean, I guess the Republican ticket represents 'change' in that Palin and Mccain have both changed their minds on a host of issues, but that's for another commentary I suppose.

Of course McSame and Palin are shameless. They lie, cheat, and plan to steal this election away from us. But we will stand strongly together. We will not let that happen! Obama-Biden is REAL CHANGE that we can believe in. The Old Creep and his beauty-queen sidekick are unAmerican.

McCain, Palin, and the GOP are a shameless bunch, and worse!
Keep calling them out on ALL their lies!

McCain is highjacking Obama's message but when you listen to McCain you can tell he doesn't even believe what he's saying! Hopefully we the people will not be stupid enough to give our votes to the Republicans again after so much devastation to our country!

obama, the canidate of "CHANGE",,changing his mind:::
+ Bush tax cuts
+ The surge in Iraq
+Taxing the top 1%
+ etc

Country First, not Obama First

The Medea is SHAMLESS because they allow the LIEs to go unchallenged. They in fact go out of their way to make sure that the lies get the widest possable distribution, by constatnly re-running them on the news programs.

America needs REAL ANSWERS not slogans and lies.

STOP letting Palin tell lies. She must be made accountable. What happened to he money for the Bridge you wanted untill it was polkitially out. Why is there so much debt in the town that you were responsible for? Why do you say you sold a plane on EBAY and in fact you sold it to a Republican BUDDY at a LOSS.

Do we want our country to be represented to the world by a person thta never speeks the truth?? Bush was BAD , but McCazin and Palin make him look good.

I'm still waiting for Obama to address the "elitist" comments Palin made toward him at the GOP convention. Considering she is a former beauty queen, does she have room to go there?

These two presidential candidates are both trying to be everything to everyone at the same time. They will say anything to get elected. Whoever wins the election becomes the most powerful man on the planet. We deserve better candidates. We deserve real men/women who DO things to really earn the right to be called "servants of the people" and we DO NOT deserve to have candidates that just talk about it.

In my opinion, it all starts with the bill making process and Congress; when one proposes a bill, it should be focused on one outcome and nothing should be able to be "added" into the bill.

Have a great day, if you are having a bad day, pray for a better attitude.

Yea, and wolf killer, from a plane. Shooting helpless animals from a plane is just cruel and shameful. She is no friend of the environment or it's creatures. I don't think God approves.

It's offical: Sarah Palin is a certified SCAM artist.

Barack and Biden do need to step it up.....take off the kit gloves. The Repubs aren't backing off.!!!!!!!!!!!!!..So what if they call the attacks sexist...McCain is riding the skirt tails of Palin..Coward!!!!!!!!

Obama/Biden..08/12

I do agree 100%, John Bush and Sarah Palin is shameless, you don't steal some one else theme, their are very important things I would like to hear about, besides lying about thing you claim you do, and trying degrade other people, which includes community workers, people who HELP people, moose shooting for a hobby, is sick, as a matter of fact killing any aminal or bird for just the fun of it is sick
WE ARE OUR BORTHER'S AND SISTERS KEEPERS
YES WE CAN, YES WE MUST.
NO McCAIN NO PALIN

they whooping your Barack America though!

LOL!

PUMA 2008!

Hmmm, Dear CNN... I look over to the right and see that you have 2527 stories about Obama, 1875 about Hillary and only 1581 about MCcain. Not even ONE about Palin. Your abit biased.

Palin has the ability to lie to you while smiling just like Bush does. I don't want to deal with a liars all over again.

She has questionable religious beliefs and questionable ties to a pastor. The Obama haters drug him through the mud over his religious ties but are silent about Palin's. Funny how that works.

She has ties to a group that supports succession from the United States and has ties to a church that believes Alaska will be a place of refuge during the rapture.

She believes the Iraq war is gods will. (You can conclude war with Iran and gods knows who else will be gods will also.)

She's lied about the bridge, earmarks, the ebay airplane, the firing of her chef and questioned her librarian on two occasions about banning certain books.

I'm demanding New Yorker magazine do the same thing they did to Obama and draw a picture of McCain & Palin in the oval office with a U.S. flag burning in the fireplace. That would be fair.

Finally, has the stardust worn off yet from the lipstick Bush.

Exactly, that's the way to go. Show how desperate they are to get elected. What they stand for doesn't really matter, They've changed their message and adopted Obama's and now they claim it as theirs, just playing on how simple-minded Americans are.

It is bitterly funny how poeple fall for the Mccain/Pallin new message of change.

Why is CNN calling this mocking? They could say, "Obama calls out McCain and Palin" or "Obama turns up the heat".

Obama is Shamless.
How does it feel not to be the "Golden Boy" any more????

Bou so right Mccain and his beauty queen are shameless. She said it was Gods task for the war in Iraq. Well lets hope it is a task of God to take these two out of the election. When he is she going to quit hanging on to Grandpas coat tale. Are they afraid to turn her loose. There are going to have to write a bunch of speeches for her,if she ever goes out on her own. She wont know what to say other wise. All these reigious people who are going to vote for Mccain, dont they know the ten commandments, and that John broke the one about committing adultry. He has this beautiful woman beside him for the next 50 days, what is to stop him from commiting adultry again. So this is the kind of morals you want in the white house, plus four more years of Bush.

Of course any Democrat can claim they want change from Republican leadership, but as far as Obama's ideas, they are the same old stuff the democrats have been spouting for years. McCain is taking positions that are a change from the traditional republican agenda, offering compreensive and centrist plans for things like immigration reform, energy and the environment.

Barry's starting to feel the desperation. I imagine his rear end is pretty sore about now from kicking himself over not having Hillary as VP choice.

as a neighbor to the north, I can't believe that 47% of Americans still fall for Republican rhetoric and non-truths. They use fear as a basis for all thier policies. As a good neighour PLEASE, PLEASE elect Obama.

Mr Obama - I can see why you are upset that McCain /Palin stole your change label. It was working so well for you. You throw lines out there and sucker the people into believing that McCain is the same as Bush and you are for change. You are now upset because McCain had the audacity to pick a running mate that actually represents change instead of a 30+ year senator who represents anything BUT change. How could he do such a thing? Now all you can do is say he stole your idea when your idea is a theme with no substance behind it. I see how you are now CHANGING your stance on the surge, the drilling, and so many other things since it is convenient to your I will say whatever I have to, no matter how much of a lie it is, to get elected. You are the most arrogant looking politician I have ever seen. The people are beginning to see right through you, so you have to CHANGE again.

Get tough barack, if they can dish it out then they better be able to take it!!! I say the gloves are off!!

Whats wrong Obama? Down in the polls lately? Sounds like your talking about yourself.

Well Said Barack, GO and Catch them.

I think Obama is exactly right. McCain and Palin are trying to be agents of change under a failed republican administration. My advise to Obama and Biden is to get your gloves on and fight for what we democrats have fought for since the get go. We need to get tough, Biden needs to get tough, Obama needs to get fired up and get tough. Before the Palin fad gets a hold on celebritized politics.

You call this mocking?

Palin will set back women in this country 300 years. Her pro life agenda as well as her support of war will ignite the right. Women falling for this should know that this is not what Hillary was fighting for! The gender is the same, but the message is completely wrong.

This is not the first time Obama has mocked an opponent. He has mocked Hillary, calling her Annie Oakley, he has mocked McCain and now Palin, yet he claims he does not run a negative campaign. Come on, he is just as negative as the rest. Admit it!

HEY JOHN. YOU BETTER CHECK YOUR DICTIONARY.

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SURGE AND CHANGE. SWITCH TO YOUR SURGE BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE NEED CHANGE AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT MEANS.

HYPOCRITES.

Yes, yes, all very nice. Seems to be working just about according to plan. Hee, hee, hee.

Empty heads hear empty words.

Why has CNN kept quiet about Obama and Biden voted IN FAVOR of the Bridge To Nowhere? And they both rejected an amendment that would have instead shifted the money to victims of Hurricane Katrina, or does CNN not think that is relevant? Get out of the tank for Obama and do some fair and impartial reporting for a change.

As if BO hasn't changed his tune 50 times since becoming the anointed one. Give me a break. I love the comment that he thought about joining the military when he turned 18 and had to register for the draft. What a crock. Sounds like you're running scared BO and rightly so after the way you and Michelle and Howard and Nancy treated the Clintons. I hope Bill tells you to go pound sand when you go crawling to him for help.

GIVE ME A BREAK!! They have BOTH voted against their parties on different matters. Just because they are Republican doesn't mean they all believe in and feel the same about all matters!

Republicans have not shame, what sadness me is they call themselves christians and conservative. If christians have to act and lie the way the repulicans do then I have to have a talk with God. This is not right they think the American people are stupid, I am starting think may they are they voted for Bush twice.

Obama makes me sick

To bad you don't have such strong words for your pastor.

No Obama, YOU are shameless. You are also arrogant, full of yourself, without substance, and wimpy. Shame on you for attending a racist and an America-hating church for 20 years.

GO MCCAIN/PALIN!!!!!!!

Biden = A campaign of change.

4/5 longest seated congressman are democrats. If you want to campaign for change start within. By picking one of the of people who has been there for 34 years then its not change.

It is hard to fathom how Republicans can bring about change in Washington when they have been the ones in power for most of last eight years. But then they are addressing American voters-one of the most gullible people in the world who get swayed on daily basis by what Television beams at them.

Perhaps Barack is getting desperate. He has nothing specific to offer and his strategy is to ridicule the opposition. He is a stand up comedian, not a candidate for president of the united states with a platform.

That's about all that is left for Obama is mocking his opponents. He has no ideas and is slipping fast in all the poles. As the american people hear more about him, the less appealing he becomes....

We need MORE of that all over the major news networks! Obama needs to call out McCain/Palin on their lies. Or maybe Obama should just point out that Palin has zero foreign policy experience and she thinks that Fannie May and Freddie Mac have been really expensive on the tax payers over the years, proving she has no idea about the economy either.

Obama's language is too gentle. McCain has taken to LIES. HYPOCRISY. MORE LIES. And, in 60 days he'll get away with it if it isn't named straight up and immediately.

Shameless devious liars. I was a Republican before but I just can not take it anymore. Yesterday I watched again as McBush lied about Palin selling the Gov. Jet on E Bay for a profit. By this time he has to know what a lie that is. The Jet was brokered for a subtantial loss.
Probably sold to Bosnian Snipers.

Thats right...not all americans are idtios!

Shameless? That's the pot calling the kettle 1/2 black!! (or I should say 1/2 Muslim) All Obama can do is mock, and talk about empty words?????? The guy is the King of Words and no achievement. I hope to God the kool-aid drinkers figure this fraud out soon!!

LOL... I love him.. he is really funny!! He has his head on straight and fighting this with as straight forward fight as he can.

Unlike Palin and McCain who are purposely lying about everything.. how many things have we caught them in in the last week???? GEESH!! Too many my hands to count!! talk about Government Coverup... THIS WILL BE THE TEAM for that!!

Real Change will come with Obama/Biden

Great... now he's whining...

The problem is that Barack Obama has absolutely nothing to stand on. He has not introduced and single piece of legislation in his entire legislative career. He has as much experience in him as the styrofoam greek pillars that stood behind him at the convention.

I am an Obama person, but I just wonder if I am the only person, in both parties, who feel saturated with and sick of Sarah Palin. When she is shown on TV, I hit the mute button. Enough is enough. Does having a Down Syndrome child, and I am sorry for that, qualify her to govern our country?

Anyone who buys what McCain / Palin is selling hasn't been paying attention for the last eight years.

McCain 2000 would be nauseated by the positions of McCain 2008, and Caribou Barbie needs to get back to the Wasillia City Council where she belongs.

Obama is right...The republican party will now say whatever it takes to get back in office and than it will be the same old, same old once their in. It is shameless.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

=======no way , no how, no mcBush, no paLIEn=======

A little scared, Obama? Deeesperadoooo....you should have come to your senses....and come down from your pedestal....and picked hillary clinton....

Obama has been uniformly negative against the Republican ticket's message.

Shameless guy. The humiliation you gave Hillary is making a come back to you.

Hopeless and empty politician

John/Sara 08

Hillary 012

Good for him. Somebody needs to call the GOP out on this nonsense.

"Change" is a rich, 72 year old white man running the country? Get real.

This guy has a fundamental sense of decency. Americans should be proud of parents who instill a common and fundamental sense of decency this man displays. Not Hilary, McCain nor Palin has it. Biden has been cool and probably asked by obama to be decent because Biden do hasc a harsh tongue

I am honest when I say Obama shoukd be greatful to grandparents and mother for instillong that fundamental virtue that is missing in most of the politicians these.

Lest I say to those Ohioans who wouldn't vote for him because say he doesn't share "their values" a code word for black: Well the mother and parents who instilled those values in him happen to be: WHITE, unfortunately? or probably because they were white that's the reason he hs these values.

You could say America doesn't deserve this man.

"We the people" elect who we are. Comments?!

I understand your position Barack, but can you somehow show respect for President Bush by referring to him as 'President Bush' and not just simply 'this president'? I've read/heard you say this a lot of times.

That’s not mocking, it’s stating the FACTS!

What a hypocrite! Obama talks about change but then picks Biden. And keep mocking, pal. Your downward spiral has begun.

The American voters doesn't cease to amaze me. How can someone not take time to find out facts about the candidates that will decide their future (and their childrens'). Sarah Palin is vying for the V.P and could as well be vying for the presidency since John McCain is 72, yet most people want to vote for her because she is a hockey mom.
I can't understand the foolishness of this generation. What will you tell your children in future when they are out of job and dying in needless wars overseas.
Whatever happens to the issues? This election trancends race, party and gender. It's about the future of America.
When the campaign noise has died down and the election is over, America will wake up to the reality of the choice they have made.
I read a lot of irrational blogs. I pray America will not choose a third Bush.

Another great way to blow it: Continue being a wimp.

And I second everything he said.....
stay on them Barack, call them out to be the liars they are!

Obama/Biden '08

"I got to admit these folks are shameless,"

Yes they are!!

No HRC- No Obama.

Obama has been uniformly negative against the Republican ticket's message.

Shameless guy. The humiliation to gave Hillary is making a come back to you.

John/Sara 08

Hillary 012

Don't even cry sexism, because Palin has been trying to degrade Obama and his experience as a community organizer ever since she was selected. Since she's afraid to come out of seclusion then everything is up for discussion. She keeps going around talking about her moose hunting well I guess that's what makes up part of her experience to run for VP! Why does she talk about that at every single town hall????

They ARE shameless

palin just another liar, check out her tales all lies

Palin or shall I say McCain campaign is pulling a Bush move on everyone. They put her out their in public and let her seem like she is the girl next door. Make her look like just one of the common folks but, I hope folks will not be fooled. She is power hungry just like Bush was and McCain is no diffrent. These two will continue to mess the Government up. It behooves me how STUPID Americans can be when it comes to the elections. I mean it's laughable. Their Party has given folks a hard road to go for the last 7yrs but, you think that McCain who has been in office for 26yrs and Palin who is a 2yr Governor and out for her own best interest will make a CHANGE? LOL...give me a break....Americans are ignorant and really just Stupid!!!

Well...he's right.

They're trying to steal Obama's message because the experience thing wasn't working so hot for McCain.

Palin or no Palin, they're still Republicans supporting the same failed Republican policies and ideas. What's going to change?

Not suprisingly, there's people who are buying into this...

America isn't blind or stupid.

The RNC must think that this country are a bunch of mindless sheep.

Wake up RNC!!

Palin flip flopped on that bridge thing and for someone who is supposed to be a reformer, she sure does like the fact that her state, which gets 85% of its revenue from the oil company, enjoys the swine that comes from Washington.

This would not work for OBAMA. You're uniformly negative about Palin Political breakthrough.

John/Sara 08

Hillary 012

Here's a sure-fire way to lose. Let's make declarations of peace (Palin's family is off limits) before one even knows the battle field. IdiOt.

Straight Talk Express looks pretty Crooked.
In fact i been doing a little community organizing and taking people down to get registered to vote who would normally not vote.

Power to the People

Obama is shameless!!

He's been running around the country smearing John McCain as George Bush for over a year!! They are two completely different people, personalities, leaders, histories, etc.

If anything, Obama is closer to GW in that neither of them were experienced and prepared for the job. Ambition doesn't make you prepared! Now we have a disaster on our hands. No thanks to another one!

I voted against Bush every chance I got. I will be voting for McCain enthusiastically. He's the only one with enough political capitol through a history of bipartisanship to really change Washington. Obama is weak.

Obama distorts this "90 percent" similarity with Bush. If you use the same numbers, Obama has voted 97 percent with his party.

Obama is distorting McCains 5 million remark- it was clearly a gaff and nothing related to policy.

Obama is distorting McCains 100 years remark until it sounds nothing like what he said.

Talk about shameless. When are we going to wake up.

Are you Americans that gullible. I guess its' expected when 1/4 of ur population cannot recognize America on the world map.

The world is watching. Be smart and choose wisely.

–Foreign National.

That's right Obama, we all know Palin is a big fraud that hides behind her so-called small town christian american values. I think a true christian wouldn't be shooting a defenseless moose.

Obama/McCain reviews...., I believe that CNN and the other News Medias are imposing questions to both Obama and McCain, questions that are Not intent on American deplomacy... The News media seems to try to BUILD FIRES, as to CAUSE constant turmoil and unrest to the Voteing Public.
Personnally, I believe OBAMA is the Man for America's Challenges...
He is Young, comes from a broken Home..., Yet has the odasity to stand Upright and Challenge the ways of American "Leaders" so that this Nation can once again hold Her Head High and set Standards for other Countries to follow.. Therefore, putting America and Her people, once again.. as the undeceptive leader for the World Countries to "Take Heed" and follow for the Good of Everyone!!!

'Shameless' is McCain trying to say that the only way to fix all the problems caused by the Republicans during the last eight years is to.... elect another Republican. Shameless... and stupid.

What message are the Republicans sending, by their choice of Governor Palin? Ignore the fact that she's a religious fundamentalist, or that she seems to have trouble advising her children about the birds & bees, or that it took her 7 years to finish college . . . .
. . . more important that she's a right-wing, moose-hunting white judeo-christian female from "small town America". . .they're trying to make WHAT SHE IS more important than her actual qualifications for the job.

What is next for McCain's cabinet picks? Wally Cleaver for Secretary of State, Tami Wynette as Press Secretary?

Obama is definitley NOT a change agent.

Obama voted;

With democrats..............876 times
did not vote......................177 times.......( NOT an option if he becomes president )
against both parties.........20 times
with republicans only...... 19 times

With a voting record like this, I don't think that Obama is a great uniter of anything.

It looks like you can count on Obama to work accross isles about 1% of the time. Whereas McCain has voted with his party about 57% of the time.

Nobama lies.

Okay Obama it's time to put down the butter knife and pick up the Machete!! The Republicans are Liars, Liars!! Call them as you see them!!
(The below paragraph has nothing to do with the above but it was on my mind)

Palin is not ready to be Vice President. Why? Yes, it's because she is a mother to small children one of which has downs. I said it.
This is not your average everyday working Mom who maybe an anchor (Mika B from Morning Joe) or runs a corporation, or is a Doctor, Lawyer, Waitress, Nurse. No the job of Vice President is unlike any other job in USA it requires a Mother who has to not only make decisions for her family, but the United States of America!!
You can't cry sexism when your party is wearing buttons that say "We have the hottest Govenor from the coolest state" Really??

John McCain and Sarah Palin have not yet said in anyway how well they will focus on the economy, health care, education and job loss. They are focusing on themselves and that is what their campaign is about McCain and Palin the Maverick of Change to change them and not the American people.

There are two types of republicans.
1. Millionaires
2.suckers

which one are you?

OBama 08

The Christian Republican Church Party will always win no matter what the means. America is trapped by their corruption.

That's right Obama get down what this election is really about the Issues.......McSame side kick is all looks and no substance!
McSame(shaking my head) doesn't have a clue what to do with USA, I have yet to hear any substance on policy or issues that we are facing.

How can McSame & his side kick get away with not talking about what matters to us???? I mean come on the media, non supporters talked about how Obama need to have substance with his message. It's a Double standard b/c she is a mom and a women? B/c McSame is old and a POW?

Does this make them ready to lead this Country since Country is suppose to be first. I have yet hear any thing that came out of either of there mouths about what they plan to do....... Answer me this, When is McBush w/ lipstick going to let go of that convention talking points(b/c it was not a speech) and talk about her views??????

Palin is a fraud. Today we are now finding out she charged the state of Alaska tens of thousands of dollars in per diem for staying at her home in Wasilla while govenor. She also charged the state of $45000 for her children and husband to travel including a trip to Todd Palin's snowmobile race where he won. Is that a reformer or is that fraud waste and abuse. It is definately NOT a reformer, I'll tell you that for sure.

The Obama camp is in a state of clear panic and hysteria now.

And Obama is correct in that the "cool" factor is in play.

it is amazing how John McCain and become like a hes taking heed to obamas message and useing it for his own to bad he hasent invested in a food tester to make sure palin does start her president term early

Taste your own medicine, S. Obama!!!

The republicans are willing to steal and make empty promises to get what they want, at no cost...and the sad thing is 47% of Americans are stupid enough to fall for it?!
This country doesnt need another BUSH!!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Hey CNN how about doing some actual reporting? The Washington Post just reported that Palin billed the taxpayers for 312 nights that she spent at her home. Considering that she was a governor for only 19 months, she basically charged almost 11 months worth of per diem, and travel costs for her husband and kids. What a reformer!

Wah, wah, wah, now I am losing and I need the media again to help me, SO, maybe you can do a hard hitting story on Palin's religoun and talk to people from her past, SOMEBODY that she slammed down will talk and demean her.

Funny that the same biased media that was dragged kicking and screaming in reporting on Obambi and his minister of 20 years of hate is wasting NO time into looking into hers. NUFF SAID.

I must just be a typical white person I guess.

No way, NO how, NOBAMA

It is shamless. Republicans are stealing the "change" message. Americans "eight is enough"

Only in American is a Harvard educated black man considered inexperienced. While a communications major from a University in Utah considered more educated.

It will be a sad day in America if white men and women elect these people.

Here goes the divisive policies of Republicans again...

I wonder which country publisizes a presidential candidate as a hunter. Doesn't that seem a bit primative?

Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin have shook up the the establishment and delivered real reforms – Barack Obama has a speech he gave in 2002," said Bounds.
-------------------------------–

Can someone tell me what reforms John McCain has accomplished other than that same campaign finance reform bill that he got through that he doesn't follow? What other reforms has he accomplished in his 26 years? And what reforms did Palin accomplish when she created over a 20 million dollar deficit in her state? I'm tired of BS! The media keeps pushing these lies and no Republican is explaining exactly what John McCain has done in his 26 years to help working families! He's done nothing but fight against working families ever since he's been in Congress. When has he fought to push minimium wage increases (NEVER because he voted 19 times against it). When has he supported investments here in American? (Never because he voted against investing in infrustructure here in the U.S.) He claims that he supports our Veterans but he's voted against every Veterans' benefit that would increase their benefits and their salaries. He's for Americans, but just rich Americans...

Along these lines, folks might want to read Richard Cohen and EJ Dionne's columns in today's Washington Post.

You need to strike and strike hard. Don't get weak at the end. Give them all you have because if you don't, you are going to lose and so will America. We need people like you Barack. We don't need people who are going to do nothing to help us here at home, but will fight for others.

Americans are so stupid. We get distracted by shiny things. We need to look beyond that and think about what is best for the country.

I thought that McCain was the "experienced one" compared to Obama being the one for "change." It is time for McCain to make up his mind. I have to say that not all change is good, but Obama can bring some. The thing with experience is that you have to learn from the bad experience so that you know not to repeat the past mistakes in similar situtations in the future.

No doubt about that.
Its makes me wonder how people can lie with such striaght face!!
Of course we have seen that before from W. and Dick.
No wonder USA lost respect throughout the world.

They ARE shameless. McCain's pick of Palin was 100% pure tokenism. He says that experience is the most important quality – specifically foreign policy experience – and he goes on and on about "country first". Then he picks as his replacement someone with NONE of the foreign policy experience that he has been claiming is so important.

But I very much disagree with Obama on one point he made. He said: "they must think you're stupid. The American people aren't stupid." Actually, YES, we are. McCain's VP pick was a political move to take people's attention away from the issues and onto personality. And it works because most American's aren't deep thinkers. Our stupidity will be our own undoing, just as it has been for the last 2 elections.

that's what i am talking, about, let them hear it, let the united state citizens hear it, way to go Obama.

we don't want mavericks, we want leaders who can make wise decisions, we want Obama and Biden, They have a great plan for America, the only change mccain and his mate can make are chainging their minds , experence, oh no change , bridges,oh no, no bridges, pork barrels, oh no, no pork barrels, help the A merican people, oh no help ourselves first.

Funny how Obama himself is coming back to "haunt" Obama! "Chage" is a word in the dictionary only reserved for Obama? Don't think so. Obama has the nerve to talk about "empty words"? That's ALL Obama had during the primaries - Hillary Clinton was the ONLY one on the Dem side who had ACTUAL issues to discuss. He talks about "experience" - he has none. He says he didn't know about Jeremiah Wright's hateful black liberation theology - when he sat in that church 20 years? He belittles Sarah Palin's "extracurricular activities" - yet he used photo op after photo op promoting his - shooting basket balls.

Yes, Obama, the chicken (YOU!) is coming home to roost!

Obama is clearly desperate.

If McCain/Palin were to be voted into office, would the modern day Crusade begin To eradicate all others religious views than their extreme ones? Will the U.S force other nations to accept our democracy moving us closer to a New World Order?Who are we to force this on anyone? We say less government but since 9/11 there has been more government intervention that changed the way we live.What about less of our government in other nations and keeping our soldiers,sailors,marines, and airmen taken care of.Are the chants USA support for our country or what we wish every nation to be? Isn't it their choice or freewill to be the countries that they want to be?Doesn't God give us freewill?I hear the case for lower corporate tax rates, saying the corporations will go overseas if we raise them resulting in job loss...Didn't Bush/McCain and Co. lower taxes for them already? Didn't jobs go overseas anyway?It seems the problem is the corporations are just greedy and selfish or should I say"Fiscally conservative" until they need government help. The truth is they go overseas for cheap labor and to dodge medical insurance for American workers.This in turns cost Americans job which leads to unemployment which leads to foreclosures and lack of medical insurance which leads to high medical bills which lead to debt which leads to the inability of Americans to put money back into our American economy which weakens the dollar against the other countries that we are shipping our jobs to.Poverty economic instability would hopefully cause people to join the Military which bolsters the numbers which support all military expeditions killing the sons and daughters of the less fortunate While the rich and well connected....Stay that way...the PLANTATION SOCIETY.....

CNN PLEASE POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama is right and when I vote it won't be for the old policies of the republicans. They can't talk about experience anymore – Palin barely has any, but they can speak about policy and be truthful, which I have yet to see. They borrowed his change line, switched talking about the war, and put a woman up front. SEE THROUGH THIS BS, AND VOTE FOR THE TRUTH! WE NEED NEW LEADERS WHO AREN" T ALL FLUFF AND LOOKING TO TAKE US BACK TO THE 60's....

Keep calling them out! I can't believe how much belief people keep putting into blatant lies! If the MEDIA won't call it out, you should!

Obama has had over 18 months to tell me what change he is talking about. Now all he can do is rip his opponents. I'm tired of waiting. Turn out the lights.

McCain 08

Mshame is shameless. He is making up stuff and using fear to win elections. He is preaching to the far right and then try to win centrists over. You want the same economy, more wars, more gas prices, more money for the rich, vote Mcshame.

You have got to be kidding me. The GOP response was that Obama was being negative. Well welcom to the party pal.

Maybe he was being sexist when he claimed that she was a mother.

The economic slide is forecast to continue. Listen to the economists other than McCain's Dr Phil and you would realize that this catastrophe is literal not a figment of our imagination. That's why the administration has stepped in to rescue Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
What I find to be strikingly amusing this week is that President DUbya has enacted a few Obama IDEAS. 8000 troops to pull out and head to Afghanistan, pull out date has been set.
GWB has started taking notes from a REAL LEADER the effect is better judgment

Shameless, talk about yourself Obama, you are slick, a slick who's thin resume is becoming all to clear!

McCain/Palin '08/12!!!!

Go Obama!!!!

It's quite simple and Obama gets it: It's about the ISSUES!

Palin has generated a lot of buzz, but at the end of the day this is about who can lead our country the most effectively. The clear choice is Obama. He has a clear plan, he focuses on the issues, and he is in touch with what America needs. Obama conducts himself with grace and dignity. He has managed his campaign unlike any I have ever seen. The last time I checked, he had raised over $339,000,000! A majority of that is from small donations. Obama will make tremendous strides with our foreign allies and improve our image abroad. He will work hard to improve our economy and education and get us out of this war that never should have been started.

As Obama has said, this isn't that complicated — if you liked the last 8 years under Bush, you should vote for McCain. If you didn't, and you want real change, vote for Obama.

This "i said it first" stuff is a bit childish coming from a presidential candidate. McCain and Palin have a record of reform – its public record and its impressive. Obama has 2 books he wrote about himself.

They are worst than that! They don't have souls!

Palin is going to JAIL!

Tucker Bounds says Obama has been uniformly negative? Are you kidding me? Did you see the speeches Wednesday night of the republican convention that bordered on hate? They just keep spinning it around until it's unrecognizable.

File this one under "Duh..."

I am shocked... shocked.. to hear anyone call the party of Joseph McCarthy, Richard Nixon, and Karl Rove "shameless."

This is exactly why I supported Clinton over Obama in the primaries.
Obama is a genuine gentleman and a 100% decent, thoughtful, intelligent human being. Now he's waist-deep in a alley fight with the worst thugs in American politics. I just hope (no pun intended) he can find the grit to save himself.

God help him – and God help us all.

It's like Hillary all over again. First experence. after that failed then Change. After that failed then personal attacks. Here we go again.

It is really time for this guy to throw in the towel. Here he comes with his attacks on President Mccaine....simply using baseless adjectives to smear him.

What a disgrace....I see real cahnge in President Mccaine...not this garbage.

America needs positive change in Washington that only Obama-Biden can provide. Not change for the worse that McCain-Palin offers by marching in step to the Bush-Cheney legacy.

Don't let them run you over. They are bullies!

Obama '08, '12.

Hillary '16, '20

Chelsey '24, '28

OBAMA does not have the ability or intelligence to talk straight unless he is spreading rumors about the other candidates, Why doesn't OBAMA tell the American people where he intends to get all the money for his dreams, we are in the worst debt ever in this country.
So may I ask you , will you provide your tons of money from your political campaign to bring change to Americans?
Answer straight questions in lieu of always attacking McCain/Palin, she was the right choice and you choice to ignore the only person who could have been your V P, HILLARY so live with the consequences!

Have you not got it yet Obama? The more you talk the more votes you lose. First you call Reps stupid, now shameless. Keep calling the Reps names and see how far your numbers are going to fall. Palin has you scare and after the VP debate and her interview she's going to be over the top. How does it feel to lose?

McCain/Palin '08

BTW- the more false rumors you guys put out about Palin and they are proven false, why would anyone believe anything you say? I remember you Dems doing the same thing to H. Clinton......Sad...Sad

Go do some more flip-flopping Obama, that's all your good for.

"McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds said in response that Obama has been uniformly negative against the Republican ticket's message."

I guess I missed what the message was.

Indeed they are shameless... and that is why you will ultimately win in November!! America is tired of lies and deceipt from the Republicans- they had 8 years to do something and they didnt- now get out of the way so we can come clean up the mess like Bill had to do in 92!!

Obama/Biden 08

Yes they are shameless. It proves to show you "certain folks" feel as though they are entitled to stealing what's yours and make a mockery out of it.

Just remember Obama "imitation is the highest form of flattery", although McCain and Palin did a horrible job at executing it.

OBAMA 08!!

Facts:

1. Jesus was a “community organizer”.

2. Pontius Pilot was a “governor”.

Action:

In selecting this year’s Presidential ticket, WWJD?

McCain is leading now in EVERY poll, in double digits in some cases. Obama lost a HUGE chunk of support among white women thanks to Sarah Palin, and I think he's pretty much lost out in that area for good.

Obama had better start talking about concrete ideas and real issues to get some of that support back or he's finished.

Tucker Bounds is (as usual) deliberately missing the point. The entire message of the Sen McCain camp for MONTHS has been "experience, experience, experience." Now they are pivoting to change because...well, because "experience" was neither working nor consistent with selecting Gov Palin as VP. Watching the entire Republican establishment and talking heads make this pivot would be hilarious, but it seems nobody in the media is willing to pull up Republican quites from 1, 3, 6 months ago and call them on it.

But there is a fundamental contradiction in running to change DC by elimating the "bipartisan rancor" while at the same time aiming one's entire campaign on "personalities, not issues" (a Sen McCain campaign spokesman's words). Making the campaign about personalities guarantees that the whole process is trying to tear the other person and party down. Making the entire campaign about "I'm more American than my opponent" is a rather unusual method of reducing bipartisan rancor, but that isn't really the objective.

I'm a lifelong Republican, 47 years old, 25 years (and still serving) in the military who has never voted Dem in a Presidential election. I'm voting for Sen Obama because his campaign represents change I do believe in–not Sen McCain's campaign whose entire focus seems to be on dividing America, refusing to discuss issues, and deliberately lying.

(a minor example being continuing to repeat the "thanks but no thanks on the Bridge to Nowhere" line even when it has been shown to be a lie–Gov Palin supported the Bridge until it was politically unsupportable, but kept the money for other projects rather than truly saying "thanks but no thanks"–in other words, she's lying, she knows she is lying, and she knows it has been noticed–but Gov Palin continues to lie about it anyway!).

Enough of the lying. Enough of the politics of personal destruction and "we're better Americans than you are" over discussion of the issues. ENOUGH!

Let’s be clear, the Republicans are the ones that launched three torpedoes on Wednesday 09/03/2008 from the RNC that insulted millions of “community organizers” and started the “scorched earth “ attack.

It is up to Democrats to now make sure NO sprig of vegetation ever grows there again, so, please stop the whining about “hateful”(I suggest you review the above video) attacks, because the gloves are now off and it is only going to get hotter!

If McCrypt and Crew cannot handle the heat, tell ’em to get out of one of the kitchens, once they figure out where it is and in which house!

Empty words huh? The audacity of Obama-the empty suit..

IT IS TIME OBAMA STARTED FIGHTING BACK AGAINST SUCH BLATANT LIES AND ATTACKS. WE AS AMERICANS SEE THAT PALIN/MCCAIN HAVE NOTHING TO OFFER AND NOW THEY ARE STEALING OBAMA'S CHANGE PLATFORM. THESE TWO LIEING BACKWOODS PEOPLE ARE POISIN TOGEHTER AND ARE DESTROYING WHAT DEMOCRACY IS ALL ABOUT. WE MUST AS AMERICANS NOT JUST DEMOCRATS AN REPUBLICANS BUT AS RED BLOODED AMERICANS PUT A STOP TO THIS JERRY SPRINGER REALITY SHOW THAT WILL BRING US DOWN AS A STRONG NATION. DO EITHER OF THESE IDIOTS, PALIN OR MACAIN HAVE OR SHOW US ANYTHING THAT WE WANT TO MAKE AS A ROLE MODEL FOR OUR COUNTRY? GOD HELP ANYONE THAT GETS IN PALINS WAY ,SHE SIMPLY HAS THEM FIRED AND DISGRACED. NO ONE WILL BE SAFE FROM THEIR ATTACKS AND THEY WILL HIDE BEHIND THEIR SLOGAN..."JUST CLEANING UP THE SWAMP". THIS IS OVER THE TOP EVEN FOR MCCAIN.IF I WERE A REPUBLICAN IN OFFICE I WOULD BE SCARED TO DEATH OF THIS DEADLY DUO! THEIR WAY OR NO WAY....SHOOTUM DOWN AND JUSTIFY IT LATER FOR BOTH THESE OUT OF TOUCH SAINT WANTA BE"S!!

Tell it like it is Senator Obama!!

I saw how angry Paul Begala got this morning on CNN letting the media know that they are not informing the public that this lady is a liar.

Why?

It seems like they are picking a choosing what stories to air about this woman nobody knows about.

Hey Obama, I'm glad you think that the Fannie Mae and Freddie mac bailout was a neccessary move, however, is anyone going to investigate criminal chanrges against the CEO's for cooking the books ? Did you tell the American people that it is going to cost them trillions of dollars to bail these two instituitions out ? Yeah, thats real neccessary.!!! They should of been left to fall on there face. Are you going to bail out the small business owner when he/she business is in trouble. No, you won't because you are agianst the small business owner (raising taxes). America watch out, because this is the start of Obama's bad decisions. Why should we be responsible for bailing out a corrupt institution, and we are the one's that have to pay for it and the Criminals still have a job in consulting the reconstruction of these two instititions and not going jail. Can you say ENRON?

more and more sen. obama sounds like just any other politician using the same old style of politics to win. how many politician have we heard in the past who used the same kind of attacks on their opponents? personally i'm tired of hearing sen. obama and his surrogates using the bush-mccain line as their main line of attack. i don't really want to hear that any more than i would accept from the republicans that obama is somehow attached at the hip to nancy pelosi or harry reid. i don't mind comparisons these candidates make between themselves and their opponent, but when they equate their opponent with some other unpopular politician to get votes, then it gets old. this is nothing more than scare tactics. the message is 'vote for x and what you get is really more of that bad thing you've been complaining about'.

the message of change and not palying the same old washington politics that sen. obama has touted is becoming more and more tarnished as this election progresses. i'm disappointed and am loosing interest in participating in this election.

Boy, your Messiah is running scared. All he has done for a week is harp on Palin. What a girlie man he is. He had better start talking about the issues or next week he will be down 20 points and there will be no turning back. So much for "the One".
He sounds like a broken record, where are his handlers?

Go get 'em Barak!!!

Tucker Bounds you are just jealous because, Obama has told the truth on you guys. The dust is starting to settle. You guys are going to get called on every one of your lies. You guys claim you want to keep Palin campaigning with McCain. You know that if McCain campaign by him self. Nobody would come out to see his boring self, with no solutions.

Pastor Ed Kalnin, the senior pastor of Palin's former Pentecostal church, has also come under fire for his comments. In 2004, he told church members if they voted for John Kerry for president, they wouldn't get into heaven. He told them, "I question your salvation."

Why aren't Fox NEws and the usual media outlets playing HER ministers comments every 15 minutes like they did the Rev. Wright?

Fair and Balanced, right?

They are shameless. What about YOU Obama??
A little flashback here.

1) the hate filled Rev. Wright as a mentor for 20 years
2) the terrorist Bill Ayers as a friend
3) the convicted felon Rezko as a friend
4) Father Pflaglar

After all, you are who your friends are.

Oh and add to that the ego and arrogance to state "Don't worry, I will win".

Oh, and don't forget about those "bitter Americans that cling to their religion and guns and with antipathy to others".

That is what I call shameless.

OBAMA NEEDS TO ATTACK IF HE IS GOING TO WIN THE ELECTION. IT SOMETIMES SEEMS HE IS TOO SOFT AND THAT IS NOT WHAT WE NEED.THATS WHY McCAIN IS LEADING.

You just knew that the Obama campaign would come out negative after the RNC. What surprises me the most is that it is Obama getting his hands dirty, instead of leaving it to his subordinates. It shows how desparate he's getting, especially with his seemingly plausible, but patronizing words. Obama "talks" a good story (sort of hypnotic), but he has no solutions...just rhetoric.

CNN- report the facts. She did stop the construction of the bridge, BUT KEPT ALL OF THE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS!

Barack is sounding desperate and upset.

Obama, I would vote for you. Unfortunately, you only TALK about change.

To date, I have seen NOTHING, absolutely nothing, in your thin resume of TRACK RECORDS that demonstrated your ability to CHANGE things.

Being the first African American running for President in itself, is change, but change only for YOURSELF. What have you done, SIGNIFICANTLY FOR OTHERS (asides from community service work) that proves you are an agent of CHANGE?

Nothing personal Mr. Obama. But I think it comes down to the fact that PAST ACTIONS speak louder than empty pseudo-intellectual words.

Media please stop giving Palin a free ride and report on Sara Palin!!!!!
VET her just like you VETTED everyone else except you guys have been soft on McShame

The Republican ticket has been flip-flopping lately. From 'experience' to 'change'. Maybe because the experience argument went out the window with McCain's VP pick.

"Change," is not a patended theme. Even VP candidate Palin is a change. Mcain is all about truth; he sent two of his sons to the military; it mean patriotism in action and paid by blood. Same is the case with Palin; her 18 year old son is a Marine. Though Obama may claim the heroism of his grandparents, he did not have any control over their decisions, while Palin and Mccain has control over the choise of their kids to be in the military. So Obama is clearly,"out of touch," with American ways. His education too did not help him understan that, blood is thicker than water.

Michael

The right and the left are so disgusting at this point - as a woman, for the first time in my life, I won't vote.

Obama, Dean, Pelosi and Reid make me sick so I will get out of the democratic party. The hypocrisy is unreal and so discouraging.

I cannot vote republican because I don't believe in the policies.

I went from excited and involved in an election to disillusioned. These are all just politicians - and always will be. Politics is not for me.

Obama has never once veered from his party's line. His policy is to simply fall in line with whatever Pelosi or Reid tell him to do.

I don't want Nancy Pelosi running the United States, and that's what an Obama administration will lead to.

McCain/Palin

Shameless is saying how much you empathize with workers losing their jobs on the east coast and then going to the west coast and getting heard in private saying "they cling to their guns and religion..."
Shameless is 2 Dems getting caught laughing that a major hurricane was about to hit and saying "It just goes to show God is on our side"

McCains camp have been consistently telling tall tales and stretching the truth. I'm glad that a certain segment of the media is covering the story and that Sen. Obama himself doesn't let them continue to get away with these lies. But I guess they (McCain's camp) feel that the American public is stupid. That if they continue telling these lies over and over that the American public will buy it. Thank goodness for the internet because there is a wealth of information right at our fingertips. I hope more people use it to educate themselves.

"Obama/Biden 2008"

And I have to say, you folks, Obama/Biden, are spineless. I had hopes of you all winning, but no. . . You guys can't play our new way of the election process. Oh, Palin's family is off limits. But Michelle Obama sure wasn't. Your own wife, kicked around, and you still don't get it. This is pathetic. If this wasn't such an important election, I'd write-in Mickey Mouse.

These people are shameless. they sent young men and women to be killed for the big oil company. Tucker bound continued to critized obama for his speech. let me tell you words have greater impact in people life. social worker, counselor community organizer and physology all used words in different term to help they client. words are what the voter in november 4th voter are going to reminder.

I am a republican but am not voting republican this time.

Why?

Palin is dangeroulsy inexperienced and is all drama!
She is a heartbeat away from being the President and then just imagine what will happen to the US after she is president!

Open your eyes people.. She cannot run this country. She ran a town of 6000 people!

Indeed, the "theft" of the change theme oy the McCain campaign is so obvious as a wolf in sheep's clothing or perhaps closer to Little Red Riding Hood's grandma. "All the better to eat the American public..."

GWB beat MCcain in 2002 and you have seen the kind of destruction he has brought to the USA. John beat all the other repblicun contenders in 2008. In other words, this is the best that the Reps can produce after 8 years of Bush in hell? Cmon guys, this is simple arithmetic; if in 2002 George was better than John and John is better than any other republican in 2008, it means the Reds have gone back 8 years. We are headed into total destruction. If George is better than MCcain and we have seen what George has done for our great country in 8 yrs, what shall we expect from John in 2009? Only God will save America .

I couldn't agree more with Sen. Obama. I am a Hillary supporter and I think that when McCain decided to nominate Palin was the most pathetic effort to win those people who supports Hillary. Just like Obama, Hillary offered change. Here views are very close to Obama's. I am frankly scared of this Palin woman. I mean, the change McCain and Palin are offering is backward vs. forward. Who wants someone who believes that gays can change through praying to run this country? who wants someone who is against woman's right to choose but yet, don't give them any tools to make smart choices. Who wants someone who don't think that humans have anything to do with global warming and furthermore, who wants someone who believes that Iraq's war was God's will. This is such a retrograde perspective that gives me chills every time I think about it. So I agree with Sen. Obama. These guys are not only shameless they are frightening.

Mccain = " NO CHANGE EXPRESS "

When you agree 90 percent of the time with Bush, that is no Maverick. When you use your gut in decision making and not your head, that is no maverick, that is more of the same. We have been fooled twice before. Not this time. No more Mc-Bush. The war in Iraq must end, we got to get our homes, jobs, honor back, we can't continue borrowing Trillions from China, and send it to Iraq. We need Obama.

I'm an independent voter who doesn't belong to any political party, but I've got to say that I've been extremely disturbed by the demonstrated falsehood of a number of claims that the Republican campaign has made. It's one thing, though, for Obama to speak out against them...that's expected from an opposing candidate. What we really need is for people who aren't trying to get elected to point some of these things out. I'd encourage voters to do their own research, check the facts, and don't let your own party treat you like a mushroom by keeping you in the dark and feeding you crap.

Obama, you are the one who should be shameless. You won this position that you are in now by you and your people cheating in the caucauses. The real story about the corruption of the caucauses is going to come out and we will hear how you bussed the same people to vote at different caucaus forums in the same state, people were paid to vote for you and Clinton's supporters were turned away from voting. The only reason that you won is because of your cheating Chicago style politics. You should be ashamed of yourself so stop talking about the republicans being shameles.

I cannot understand how the democrats could have been taken in by your type of politics but as far as I am concerned, YOU STINK. I am a democrat and a Hillary Clinton supporter and I would rather vote for McCain and Palin than vote for you and your cheating politics. I am sorry Hillary is going to be doing your dirty work for you after you the way you treated her and it was like a slap in the face when you totally ignored her for the VP spot. I want Hillary to remember that she is a WOMAN first and do not do your dirty work on Palin. I would totally respect her if she stays away from that kind of politics. Let Joe Biden do your dirty work as he is your VP candidate. Stop using Bill & Hillary Clinton to try and get you to win in November. If you are such a strong candidate you should be able to do it on your own.

I suppose Obama is getting nervous now because he now behind in the polls and all the states leaning towards Obama are going to change and vote republican in November.

I agree, the American people overall are idiots. You get a party in here that has totally tried to reinvent itself in less than two weeks. We are the party of change (since when? Two Weeks Ago?) We are the party of reform! They have reformed nothing, but what they have done is do exactly as they wanted too....they duped all of you Americans AGAIN. Its funny, I think America is just looking for a reason to not elect Obama. And there is only one reason, its beause he is black. Thats it in a nutshell. If this were a white man or Hillary running this race would have been over long ago on that fact alone. The GOP has spun this and now are on offense....they first made you think exp was the key, then they told you Obama was a Muslim, then they drop the exp because of Palin, they picked a feamle just to pander to women and sadly white males who are starved for affection....All the McCain /Palin ticket is going to do is keep the status quo going and devide the country even futher. Then you have the PUMA's who think Hillary has a shot in 2012 but the problem there is that if McCain is gone and Palin is the President then she wins again. Why? Becuase she will ahve the experience and because the African Americans will feel disenfranchised from this year and will stay home. I feel sorry for people that vote based on race and gender only. Its too bad America you do not see the real issues here. Obama has done it all, gone right the lions den with O' Riley...and even admitted when he was wrong...but the GOP never admits to being wrong, McCain has done nothing for Veterans in 26 years..not one single thing, the guy is a racist and even voted against Dr. King's holiday. He now has an apology for that...come on give me a break! Dr. King was a great man and everyone knows that! So go ahead America, vote your racist lazy ways and you will eventually have to reap what you sow.

Veternans for Obama

The GOP has been shameless and nonapologetic for it. With Palin we see a double standard. They exploited Reverend WRight, but her religion is not an issue. They said he was inexperienced, but her lack of national experience is not an issue. They said he was a celebrity, but her sudden celebrity status is not an issue. They have been spinning and lying and when Barack tells the truth, it is a lie to them.
McCain says he does not know much about the economy and did not give a comprehensive plan, but it was not an issue.
Barack says change and they take his change message, which is not true.
Palin claimed to put a jet on ebay, which is true, but McCain said she sold it on ebay for a profit, which was a lie, but its ok, right?
That bridge to nowhere, Palin was for it until Congress stopped funding it, but she got the money for earmarks anyway.
The GOP needs a little humble pie.

Obama has no record of reform.
To all hunters, take a good look at his words, Moose shooter. I have a name for him, Baby killer.
Environmentalists should know that last year hunters donated over two hundred million dollars to helping the environment. Many food shelters are able to operate thanks to hunters donating some of the animals that they harvest.

Btw dose anyone know what is missing from this speech? Substance!!!!

Is somebody gettting a little frustrated by the poll numbers? I guess Obama is allowed a few temper tantrum's every once in a while. CNN didn't report on his pouted lower lip and statements such as "But its not fair!"

They are ! Just like W !! Liars !!!
Obama / Palin = Change you can believe in !!

'bout time you started hitting back! they are SHAMELESS!

O'BIDEN 08!

Obama/Biden get tough with the Repugs....it's time!!!!

YES WE CAN ...FIRED UP AND READY TO GO!!!!!!!!

Keep on preaching only the gullible can hear you.
Enjoy the attention it will be over in November.

Mc Cain / Palin

McCain is ahead by double digits!

Please try and get the Obama smoke out of your eyes and report the Real News!

America has found its voice!

McCain/Palin-08-By a Lanslide!

Republicans are desperate, they know their time is up. They have milked this country for everything it is worth. We are sick of their lies, deceit, and greed. We must get them out of office before they completely destroy America. They will do anything for power, money, self promotion. Rise up America and fight for what your forefathers died for. We have been sheeple for way too long!

It's sad to see a man who promised to be postitive and be a new kind of politician resort to the slash and burn negative politics we've seen every four years for the past decades.

this isn't change; it's politics as usual.

"Shameless" is spot-on. McCain thinks he can use three days to do a complete 180 on his record, his running mate's record, his message and everything he stands for and the majority of Americans will buy it without question. Some will, some won't care. But most Americans will see right through this pathetic, shameless string of flip-flops and lies as soon as the media starts covering and uncovering more of the facts. McCain and Palin are worse than more of the same, they are proving themselves to be more of the same with no shame about lying, no shame about selling out to the Rovians, no shame about nastiness, divisiveness and contempt for all of our intelligence. The only thing they seem ashamed of is their true records!

Keep hitting them Obama. They are spinless. I think e needs to keep hitting them on the issues because they don't have a friggin plan of action to promote this change they are promoting. I am sick of them.

I AM SOOO GLAD JOHN MCCAIN CHOSE SARAH PALIN!!! I LOVE HER LITTLE FAMILY AND ALL THAT GOES WITH IT. THANK GOD SHE'S A CHRISTIAN TOO. I CAN'T WAIT TO VOTE IN NOVEMBER NOW!!!!!!!!

The ignorance and naivete of women in American, especially white women who vote republican is mind-boggling.

So easily fooled and even more easily led.

More Kool-Aid ladies?

I wouldn't say he's negative, I'd say he's honest!

The American People can tell the difference even if Tucker won't admit it.

Keep out front and positive.Let the America people will know what
a Obama adminstration will do for America.We do not need more of the same old politics.

Does any American believe in that shift from "Experience" to "Change"?

I mean: Palin has taken more per capita Earmark money than ANY OTHER Politician in the US!

"I got to admit these folks are shameless," said Obama.

The point is that the quote is self-referential. What a hypocrite.

. . . Republican swiftboating attempt at it's worst.

Democrats 08.

thank you Obama, call the repugs out for the liars they are. Biden needs to do his job and start being vocal. We cannot let these repugs get away with their deceit.

B. E. A GGRESSIVE!

BO if you don't understand then how do you think the rest of us feel?

Hit back Obama! They are indeed shameless.

He should mention how Palin wasted the tax payers' money by building a road leading to the bridge to nowhere. Common sense, people! Why do you need a road leading to bridge that will never be built?!?

WHAT HAPPENED ?

Obama switched from "Change" to "Experience" and the same old "Washington Ways" by picking bin Biden and asking his enemy Hillary to go after Palin.

McCain switched from "Experience" to "Change" by picking Palin and going against the old ways of doing things.

Obama calls this shamefull.

But oh no !!!! SHAME ON YOU OBAMA. In HRD's own words.........

Mr.Obama, good job. You need to go after these 2 jokers big time.
People are dumb, they will believe whatever these politicians say.
You came up with the Idea of Change – everyone knows it. Now he forgets about more war and tunes himself into change.
He must be still thinking that we are in World War 2 (or) Vietnam war.. Mentioning that POW story everytime he's cornered with real problems is a big joke. Did he go to Vietnam and surrender ? He got caught in action and got kicked? So how does it make him more patriotic than all the other thousands who fought for this country.
He's old, dumb, fake, lying, desperate politician who just wants to sit in White House. Sarah Palin – her record clearly shows it..she is Total Fake
OBAMA (2008 -16)

Hey Obama folks, I hear the fat lady clearing her vocal chords.

Let the singing begin..... LOL

What change is Obama always talking about. He has only done what most in DC always do and that is talk. He has not run anything, save for the white house but that is nothing. Many people have done that. Obama has less experience than Palin and Obama backers are bagging on her for her lack of experience. So it would follow that Obama is worse than Palin and he is on the top of the Dems ticket.

Beautiful points that needed to be made. I burst out laughing when McCain shouted "Fight! Fight! Fight with me!" at the end of his acceptance speech. Whom would you like me to fight, McSame? Your lot has been in charge for eight years. Let us hope that the electorate doesn't display their usual goldfish memory...

What happened to Obama's positive message for hope and change?

What happened to Obama saying he wouldn't resort to dirty politics and candidate bashing?

What happened to the Obama who didn't need Hillary – now all of a sudden needs her to campaign to save his chances?

Looks like a desperate politician trying to save his own career.

If he would have put Hillary on the ticket it would all be over right now.

And 911 is fast approaching – just wait until you see what Palin and McCain has cooked up for their 911 speeches.
Oh, and Rudy Guiliana will all but blame Senator Obama for the 911 attacks. Just you wait and see.

The GOP is trying to distract everyone from the truth which is the GOP has no plan for change. Everyone knows Obama represents major change! Let's not be fooled Bush in lipstick!!!!

Rove?

McCain's team, in an effort to distract, is going to keep doing what they're doing — diverting voters and the media with a tantalizing combination of personal trivia and small lies. It doesn't matter if they're caught in them — in fact, all the better. Because they know there is no way they can win if this election is about the truth.

The only one who is shameless is amatuer boy thinking he could be president. Obama was complaining the McCain only attacked him and never talked issues. Sounds a lot like what Obama is doing.

That is how we feel about OBAMA......SHAMELESSS

Obama is a shameless career politician who only works to get elected. McCain and Palin are the type that get things done. Obama is an empty suit.

Now that's telling them Senator! Don't let the Republican fools get away with their blatant lies.

They are shameless. They have the audacity to say they're about change and John McCAin votes with GWB 90% of the time. Oh, one more thing McCain, be original and come up with your own lines. You didn't start off talking about change. Stick to your "Country First" line. Biter!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

They are shameless – shameless in their lies and shameless in their "stop at nothing to get elected" campaign that is misleading and lie filled.
Don' be duped by McCain and Palin.

Keep hitting them Obama even when they are down. All they got to answer is you have a speech in 2002. they got nothing. they are shameless because they know the inbreeds in this country will believe what they say. dont give them a chance to breath.

Honesty is so refreashing.....Palin and McCain are just two liars and they keep repeating the same lie but we'll keep repeating that they are lying......Americans really need to look at the issues and decide if they really want to live another 4 years like the past 8 years.

NO more mccain

Is it me or has Sarah Palin's nose grown?

Obama you are the man keep hitting and hitting those Lying Republicans Keep Hitting and Hittting and HItting they have been save for too Long it is time to go after the Republicans the Time is NOw The time is Now Obama go get them. Obama Biden the clear choice in this election.

They are pathological liars primed with talking points by the Minister of Propaganda, Karl Josef Geobbels Rove...

What has Obama changed in his state?

Loosened up environmental laws for his favorite lobby Excelon is all.
