Time to retire old man and take the bimbo with you...

I remember 9 years ago I took a day off so I could go see John McCain on The Tonight Show. I woke up at the crack of dawn to get tickets and then I sat for hours in LA traffic just so I could hear what he had to say. Today I wouldn't even walk down to the corner to see him.

Oh, puh-leeez!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even God never promised any of us that life would be fair ...

McCain ... there are plenty of Republicans (who DIDN'T vote for you in the primaries) who are wondering if its FAIR that they've been saddled with you and Sniveling Sarah for this election. If you wanted to be FAIR to them ... you'd thrown in the towel right now ... instead of dragging this out till November 4.

Life isn't fair, I should have 9 houses and 13 cars.

Experience is overrated. Especially when your experience is in a courpt administration/party.

YEEOOWWW!

Thankfully you saved us the drama antics this week!

YIKES, now I have that visual seared into my retina!!!

so can someone please call him out on his bs? He returned to washington the same time Sen Obama did, and unlike McCain, Obama actually participated in the meeting.

Enough with the excuses and dismissal of the truth. This is your campaign and it appears you are losing. Blame your judgement for the slide in polls. Although I don't put faith in polls, numbers are the universal truth and yours are dropping

OMG...he really has sunk to a new low. How did he help by suspending his campaign?? Sorry, Johnny-boy, they didn't need you back in D.C. and guess what? The American people don't need you either! And this is so typical for McCain to complain NOW about the moderator for tonight's debate, trying to make a circus out of the whole event. You had plenty of time to complain about the VP debate. Now shut your trap and let's move on. I am so sick of hearing him and Palin whine every day. Nov 4th can't come soon enough.

We want the two men qualified to teach the constitution – and have taught constitional law.

No More War-Monger and Wolf-Shooter.

Obama/Biden '08

LIFE IS NOT FAIR WITH YOU SUPPORTING GEORGE BUSH FOR 8YRS AND ALL OF MY INCOMES AND 401K AND POTENTIAL JOBS GONE WITHIN THE BLINK OF AN EYE!

THAT'S MY LIFE! – THAT'S WHAT IS UNFAIR – TO SAY THE FUNDAMENTALS OF OUR ECONOMY ARE STRONG AND TO BE BUSH-HUGGER!!

NOT THIS TIME – NO MORE 8YRS OF GW FAILED ECONOMIC AND FOREIGN POLICIES BLUNDERS!!!!

What is that grown over McCain's left eyelid? It looks like it's getting worse from last week.

Is there something McCain is hiding from the American people?

He reminds me of ' King of the Hill' dad .. I can't recall his name but Hank dad looks like McCain! ...

Who's going to be the 1st republican to come on here and blog hes right?...before you do...just rember you will be a non contributing zero.

What I think is interesting is that a year ago just about everyone was predicting a Democratic route in the Presidential election. On the heals of George W. Bush, without doubt one of the worst Presidents on record, it is nearly an even race. Wow. What happened? Could it be that approximately half of the American people can not stomach the goofy social agenda of the Democratic party to such an extent that they will elect another Republican? Take pause. Maybe PETA, the gay community, veganism, and the fight to give convicted felons the vote are still not mainstream American values.

Will someone please tell this fool to keep his mouth shut. All he ever does is play a victim about everything.

Obama/Biden 2008

What a minute... McCain suspended his campaign? When did that happen?

CRY BABY!! CRY BABY!! SUCK YA MAMA'S TIIIIITTTTTEEEEE!!!

you are telling me! I had to see this country declining through the the inept leadership of the Bush Administration- welcome to the club Mr McCain

mcsme is right for the first time, lfe isn't fair thanks to him and the bush coalition.

Does anyone believe or care about anything this man says anymore? He, alone, is responsible for his own lack of credibility, so no one pays any attention to the drivel coming out of his mouth.

Life isn't fair John? Tell that to the Iraqi's.

They took him off his piills and now McCain has emerged as his nasty, sarcastic, hot tempered self. We in Arizona have seen the true McCain. Now the world is seeing it. Life is fair, after all.

I don't believe a word he says anymore and I used to admire him. He is an ugly tempered old man at best and totally dishonest and vindictive at worst. Pretty sad what base driven ambition will do especially to an old fool who thinks hes running out of time. He us still in competion with the two admirals in his life and doesn't have a clue what regular America lives like.

Boo-hoo! Go take a nap! He is already making excuses, anticipating that Palin will not do well tonight! So Gwen Ifill is writing a book about black politicians, so what? White men have been writing books about white men for years. We call them ENCYCLOPEDIAS!!!

poor fella...

Life is fair: Obama is the better candidate and behaved presidential in the crisis last week. McCain acted like a fighter jock trying to stunt his way through the crisis.

Would you say the same thing if Bill O'Reilly was the moderator? In todays day in age where one small sound bite can crush a campaign, I would be nervous that the moderator is openly biased too.

Hmmmm ....the Maverick and the MILF are complaining. Sounds like a movie doesnt it. McSame is starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel ...psych but there isnt one. Time to pack up, send Sarah back to Alaska, and we would see you back in the senate.

Would someone please go change this man's diaper? I have never seen someone running for president make those kind of statements on national televison.

He went from 72 years old to sounding like he was 72 days old in less than 72 seconds.

He's upset because the race shifted back to where it should be...THE ISSUES, and on those issues Americans have seem to realize that we can't keep going down the path that we are on?

And why does he keep saying that he suspended his campaign? It's been reported by even Fox News that his campaign was far from "suspended" .

CRY Baby CRY!
Thats is the only thing left in this campaign.
You and your republican thugs have exhausted All OPTIONS possible unfair attacks – casting Obama as Muslim and he is not ready – and – the NEGATIVE ads which were flushed down the drain by the FactCheck.org – tried to bring in a pitbull with a lipstick to corner the votes of very accomplished Hillary votes – EVERYTHING.

The only thing left is CRY and let PALIN CRY too (with a hope of getting the sympathetic women votes)

John, you used to be a man of integrity and wisdom. Now you're just pathetic and disgusting. Go away.

McShame on you! Good grief if you want to be president, say intelligent things. We already have one boob in the White House, who wants 8 more years of this kind of crap.

Let me translate John McCain here:

1. He went to Washington as a political grandstand and got nothing accomplished so that he could turn around and blame Obama when it failed.
2. We knew that Gwen Ifill was writing this book, but we let her moderate because we wanted to have an excuse for our talking points after the debate.
3. Oh crap, our internal polling numbers are actually worse than what you guys are putting up, so we love playing this underdog role. Right?
4. Life isn't fair: The people that vote are not fair and we are going to challenge every vote no matter what.

Let that sink in and ask yourself, "Do I need four years of this?"

wait...did a seasoned politician running for the most powerful office in the WORLD just say IT'S NOT FAIR that his opponent is winning?

REALLY??

OMFG

i...have no words...i have lost my words in response to this.

I can't wait for Nov. 5 so these two clowns (McShame and Failin) can stop performing their 3-ring act and just go quietly away.

Didn't McCain claim to cancel his campaign, go on a tv interview with Mrs. Couric, go New York for the Clinton event, Fly to Washington and sit in a meeting and didn't speak, even after Obama spoke and questioned the bailout and segwayed to McCain to be more involved.

Didn't the republicans not vote for the bill in record numbers and more than 2/3 democrats voted for the Bill?

McCain supporters please answer these questions?

What a losing liar McCain is?

Obama is in Grand Rapids talking about the economy with voters and McCain is on Morning Joe stating that life isn't fair.

Need we say more?

Simply unbelievable. The polls have changed greatly and Obama hasn't had to do any attacking of McCain to get there. McCain and Palin are doing this to themselves. There will be a moment of absolute desperation by McCain in the coming weeks, most likely at one of the debates, that will seal the deal. This man does not handle losing well, and he is showing that on a daily basis. I almost feel bad for him.

Almost.

So life isn't fair ..... now what you are going to get your ball and go home? ........ cry baby!

i wouldnt miss the debate tonight;the comedy that will be presented will make snl look like a show about tragenies! this is going to be so funny;i will have popcorn and snacks ready for comedy hour of 2008;between palins total ignorance and bidens tendency to get bent out of shape;i just cant wait.

The truth is that you are down in the polls becasue people don't want four more years of the same. You may have pulled a political stunt to suspend your campaign, and ride into town on your high horse, but that backfired didn't it! The truth is that you have had 26 years to address the issues of the economy, but spent the majority of your time war mongering! You also chose a running mate that is a heartbeat away from being President, who has the IQ of a moose!

Your arrogance is off the charts! Sorry that you can't or won't accept the truth that America won't be electing you President not becasue life isn't fair, but becasue life is fair and a highly educated, motivated, energetic, young African American Democrat with the ability to unite the country and lead this nation out of the devastation of the past eight years is going to be in the White House!

poor poor john...are we already a sore loser?? No life isn't fair....either was george....he boned us and that 8 years long!!!

WE NEED A CHANGE

OBAMA 08

McCain and the Republicans sure don't have much confidence in Palin. They say they have confidence in her, but they are already making excuses for her. Gwen Ifill has impeccable credentials, alot of journalists write books. It is very whiny and immature of McCain to even bring this up, but all they do is whine. All we have heard about is the Republicans crying about Tina Fey and how mean she is to Palin. Saturday Night Live makes fun of everyone. They regularly are very rough on the Clintons and always have been. They made fun of Bill Clinton big time the other night, and Democrats aren't ever whining and crying about that.

McCain, it wouldn't matter whether Gwen moderated or you moderated, Sarah Palin is incapable of making any sense at all and will look like the fool she has already proven herself to be. You have lied yourself out of any chance to win this election. Maybe you should try to buy the victory with all of your millions because that's the only chance you've got, buddy.

Poor McPalin....They are not underdogs... the American public finally caught on and realized these two "Maverics" are the king and queen of spin and lies. When theirs comments about Obama are verified to be false they should stop repeating the same lies, it makes them look stupid and dishonest.

No life isn't fair.

I'm not rich (like you) and pay mortgage on one house.
I pay for my health care and for my family.

You are sinking because we can see you are ineffective and erratic.
But public opinion can change.
For now, learn to swim and tread water McCain.

Obama lead is growing because John McCain keeps on whinning like a little boy in an old man's suit!! ha ha...

"We're going to be up late on election night"

Oh, you wish, Johnny.

How great would it be if Gwen Ifill started the debate tonight by announcing that she's also going to write a book about a new generation of female leaders, including Hillary, G. Ferraro, and of course, Mrs. Palin?

That'd shut 'em up.

Do you know who else claimed to be the underdog as soon as Obama started beating her? Hillary.

Yeah, yeah, grapes are sour. Now we are a bunch of whining candidates.
do we want a president who says that life is'nt fair? that sounds like a loser to me.

McCain needs to chill.It doesn't matter who is the moderator, Sarah Palin has to prove that she isn't the bimo everyone thinks she is . Debate or no debate. Her interviews with Katy Couric and Charlie Gibson will not change the worl's percetion of her. She may be tough, but I don't think she is ready for such a job.
If she was ready for such a job, then why was she sequestered since she was chosen?

Mr. McCain – Life is fair. The polls are reflecting this fairness... Voters have fairly judged that your actions last week were insincere, incorrect, incoherent and only in your interest.

They fairly see through "Country First" and see the true slogan of your campaign "McCain First."

I used to believe you were a Maverick and that you truly believed in "Country First." I no longer believe that. And that is a fair reflection.

So does that make Tina the defacto winner of the Miss Wasilla Beauty Pageant or first runner-up?

OBAMA = WINNER!

MCCAIN = WHINER!

IT WILL BE EASY FOR PALIN.

IN MANY SITUATIONS SHE WILL BE ABLE TO LINK GWEN TO OBAMA,
AND THEN OBAMA TO BIDEN.
AND THEN WRIGHT TO OBAMA.

SHE JUST NEEDS TO QUOTE REV. JEREMIAH WRIGHT.

EASY !!!!

He went from blaming Barack to blaming God.

Besides, they should have done their research on Ifell. And why is bringing up the campaign cancellation? GIMMICK!!!!

AHAHAHAHAAHHHHHHHHHHHAHAAHAHHAHAHAH

HAHAHAHHAHA

is he serious?

It has gone from silly season to ridiculous race. Obama's lead is increasing because he offers more than McCain. Obama doesn't make major decisions for the country by rolling the dice like McCain.

And, Obama's campaign could be measured by the content of his character rather than the list of lies.

Sounds like McCain is already conceding defeat at the debate tonight, and as far as I know he does not even have a time machine, but "life is not fair."
I guess when he is on the downslide, he forgets he is still talking about himself and not the country at large. Poor baby, life is not fair for McCain, the american people are such bullies against him. He is a POW, but life is not fair for him, now. Is his angle for the sympathy vote, feel sorry for me, feel sorry for my running mate that cannot speak a complete sentence when questioned. When did questions where you have to qualify yourself like you'd get at a job interview become synonomous with "attacks"?

PLease US Citizen,

You let us down four years ago. We accept your apology then (www. sorryeverybody.com). We may not be this forgiving this time around. Vote for the best team Obama/Biden.

You deserve a better. Only in America will people vote for the less intelligent person (C and D average) and then you get surprise by their performance.

Wise up... The world need you to get it right this time.

`

I'll tell you what's not fair...

.... where is self-named "First Dude", Todd Palin?

I see Jill Biden, Michelle Obama & Cindy McCain out there campaigning, making speeches etc. for their spouses.

No Todd Palin. That's not fair!

This is getting embarrasing for us men… I mean geez… the women all do it, now the husband of the smartest woman in Alaska, maybe the whole World, the 21st century Ronald Reagan & Bill Clinton rolled up in one…. can't be trusted to speak. Can't get out on the stump for his spouse?

What will he do if his wife did indeed becomes Vice Maverick? Hide in the closet?

Why are they hiding him?

It's not fair.

`

This isnt even comical anymore, its pathetic. There is just no telling what he or his VP pick will do or say next.

Obama/Biden 08

Cry me a river McCain. Polls or no polls, even conservatives like George Wills are beginning to see your ticket for what it is - a joke.

We are taking this country back McCain and there is no stunt you or your friends Bush/Rove/Cheney can pull to stop it.

Take your crocodile tears back to Arizona where they can subsequently vote you out of your senate seat in 2010. You inspire nothing but pity and disgust.

Obama/Biden 2008/2012.

Sorry McSame, go back to Arizona. We do not want 4 more years of the same. O bama is our next President of the United States.

You didn't suspend your campaign, or take your ads off the air! Quit lying!

Instead of you parading from netowrk to network, you need to tell Bush to start cleaning out the White House!

LIAR....you did not suspend your campaign. LIAR.....you did not take down your ads...LIAR....Obama did not sit on the sidelines for two days and do nothing......LIAR, LIAR, LIAR!. What you did McCain was a political stunt and I'm glad people see through all your gimmicks. What you did was political suicide.

Your reaction to this crisis shows you are not presidential. You have shift postions so many times since this crisis broke, I lost count. You are not ready to lead McCain. It's time for CHANGE and YOU my "friend" does not bring change, you bring more of the same.

Obama/Bine '08

This guy should not be a president, he needs to to get evaluated. The stuff he spews is unpresidential, period. The des moine interview from yesterday indicated this man is angry, has a temper and is condencending.

Please america...vote for americas future and our standing across the world. If we elect this man we will be the laughing stock of the world and young people will never look at government the same.

Obama/Biden.

My gosh, what a baby. He must have driven his captors nuts…like in the movie Ruthless People. McCain would have been the Bette Midler character.

The McDazed/Confused ticket is certainly giving us great insight into their prospective administration.

i would disagree with mccain. after suffering under the bush administration for 8 years, we finally have a shot at life becoming a little more fair for those of us making under $5 million a year

The book was announced in July and she was interviewed about it in August by the Washington Post, two weeks prior to both camps agreeing to her as moderator. I think McCain's campaign, maybe not McCain himself, knew about it, and decided to feign ignorance so as to have another card up their sleeve no matter who the VP pick ultimately ended up being.

Good God! Does this campaign every stop whining?

There was a time when I respected John McCain. Now I have nothing but disgust. He no longer sounds like a presidential candidate – he sounds like an ill-tempered child.

This man is as deluded as he is incompetent.

The fact is:

Barack Obama: Our God Our Saviour, His Holiness

CNN: Barack's mouthpiece

McCain: Just another human.

Lets elect a human being to the White House.

Will CNN post this....?

Face it McCain like a man and stop being childish and petty. You are 72 years old. Playing the whinning litle 2 year old who can't have his way is unappealing. And you will soon realize that your TV AD targeting Obama f/connection to Rev. Wright, can NEVER work...can NEVER benefit you ! The American people are too intelligent to buy into your nonsense.

No weapon forged against you [ Sen. Barack Obama ] will prevail, and you [ Sen. Barack Obama ] will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their [ Sen. Barack Obama ] vindication from me," declares the LORD. -
Isaiah 54:17

It's time for REAL change in Washington, it's time to elect Barack Obama for president. It's the Obama-Biden ticket that's needed at this defining moment in our history because this team is wiser and stronger to meet the challenges this nation faces at home and abroad.

Amen.

John McCain said he always says what if the truth...100%. If he really believes that, maybe he's not a liar, he's just senile!!!

Don't you worry McCain, You will do just fine. With all the media bias and one sided bashing by CNN, it would definitely seem unfair. But what matters is the vote. Keep going and show people what you made of.

I am very sure like the other comments, CNN will not post this comment for obvious reasons.

McCain/Palin 2008.

What? He really is in a bubble isn't he.. sounds like he has no idea why he's on the short road back to the senate... The American people figured out your a moron!

This just shows how McCain would run his White House, loose cannon.

The info has been out there since June that she was writing this book, it was in the AP news. It was also noted again in August. Freaking Google her name and you can see she is openly writing a book.

I guess since he did not vet Palin, and did not study who would moderate the debate, this shows more of his lack of leadership and focus.

By him saying ANYTHING about it now only goes to cloud his lack of foresight and leadership to run a campaign let alone this country.

Many voters are so hell-bent for change that they would elect the devil himself if he had a "D" after his name and touting his expertise on global warming.

WWHHAAA!!! WWWWHHHAAAA!! Life isn't fair mommy!! I have 13 houses, a wealthy young beautiful ice queen for a wife after I dropped my disfigured ex-wife for her.

MY people have been in power since the beginning of our nation, and even though I voted 90% of the time for the issues that have brought our country into the economic dispair it's facing, I CAN STILL MAKE IT BETTER!!! Only WE can make it better!! But now that a black woman is going to moderate debate, instead of the stuffy white guy that usually does it, LIFE ISN'T FAIR!!!

BOO HOO!!! THIS ISN'T FUN ANYMORE!!

Life isnt fair Senator McCain?
Hold on. Let me get my worlds smallest violin and play it.

Obama's poll numbers are growing because McCain is proving to the American people every day why he should not be elected President.

From picking a VP candidate who is grossly underqualified to be President of this Country (the most important decision a Presidential candidate can make), for 100% political reasons. Even though it would have been better (for America) for him to pick someone with economic street cred.

To crashing deliberations betweeen both parties last week as they tried to vote on a measure to protect the American people. And then trying to take credit for its success only to have it blow up in his face.

To reminding American voters that he has serious anger-management issues when questioned about his or his running mate's views or qualifications.

True, the relative strength of the economy (or lack thereof) is not helping McCain's cause, however, he has the sitting Republican President and his fellow Republican Congressmen (and women) to thank for that. After all, they have run Washington DC for the past 10+ years so this is no doubt their disaster.

i am so sick of all your ads putting down obama instead of letting the public know what you r plans are for the country what a great big turn off

Im really getting sick of all this whining from John McCain and his camp. He seems to blame everyone but himself, his obsession with promoting obvious lies (that he still spouts as "true" even when proven they are lies), and his own poor judgment for why his campaign has gone south. Heck, he even lied in the above interview–he never truly suspended his campaign–his ads were suspended? really? someone must have not gotten the memo, because they were going on strong last Thursday and Friday here in Pennsylvania-lies, lies, lies! Im SICK TO DEATH of it.

Quit your whining, quit your excuses and, more importantly, quit all the friggin' lies, John McCain. You are not a candidate I can believe in. And don't even get me started on your running mate....

Obama/Biden '08–The REAL candidates for change

OK, Senator McCain, would you like some cheese to go with that whine???! I can not belive that he's now using "Life isn't fair" why he is not leading in the polls. He should also get his facts straight regarding Gwen's book. It's about a new generation of black leaders and Obama happens to be in the book. It's not just about Obama. I forgot, it doesn't matter if the media has fact checked anything, he will continue with this lie.

Obama/Biden 08

Sen McCain, why do you insist on attempting to deceive the American people?

Oh crap . . this guy is pathetic.

McCain has displayed the most lowest dishonest campaign strategy in History. That's what YOU get McCain for putting Country Last – That's what YOU get for playing Dirty Politics – YOU deserve what YOU Asked For.

McCain seriously needs to retire from politics.

The nobamanots had better enjoy their lead while they can because he is going straight into the toliet soon.
The October surprise is coming and BO and MO will be toast in no time!
HAHA

McCain did not pull his ads. I saw three of them that day he said he was going to pull them and a couple more over the next two days. I'm here in Canada and it's one thing to lie to us over here, but to lie to the American people that you want to serve is just disrespectful.

No..."life isn't fair" because no one in your campaign was smart enough to use a computer to Google Ifill's name..if they had, they would have known about her book a long time ago!!!!

And she hasn't even asked the first question..for all he knows, she could go soft on Palin because she is a woman...

Tomorrow he'll be crying bias and foul if Biden wipes the floor with Palin tonight!!!

Time for his medicine!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FIX NEWS..a perfect channel for a whiner!!!!

Oh my gosh I cannot wait until John McCain slinks back to the Senate for the rest of infinity in November. I am so sick of him he is simply awful. I cannot WAIT!!!!

WHAT A WHINER!!! LIFE'S NOT FAIR WAHHHHHHHHHH!!!! This is no country for OLD MEN!!

oh i did not read the last part...forget my comment earlier. Apparentlly he made the comment twice. McCain that is pathetic!

again this underdog thing. Look mccain, you spent 3 months destroying obama ... now it is your turn. There is only a month left and it is your turn to be attacked. You used up all of your resources attacking obama before the convention... but you made one big mistake...people have short term memory spam!!

Face it McCain like a man and stop being childish. Playing the whinning litle 2 year old who can't have his way is unappealing. And you will soon realize that your TV AD targeting Obama f/connection to Rev. Wright, can NEVER work...can NEVER benefit you ! The American people are too intelligent to buy into your nonsense.

No weapon forged against you [ Sen. Barack Obama ] will prevail, and you [ Sen. Barack Obama ] will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their [ Sen. Barack Obama ] vindication from me," declares the LORD. -

It's time for REAL change in Washington, it's time to elect Barack Obama for president. It's the Obama-Biden ticket that's needed at this defining moment in our history because this team is wiser and stronger to meet the challenges this nation faces at home and abroad.

Amen.

MORE LIES, THE MORE THINGS CHAHGE THE MORE THEY STAY THE SAME, JOHN MCCAIN DOESNT GET IT, OBMAMA WAS IN TOUCH WITH THE POWERS THAT BE WHEN THIS MESS CAME OUT, AND HIS ADS WEREN'T STOPPED IN COLUMBUS OHIO, I ALREADY CAST MY VOTE, I'M READY FOR THIS ELECTION TO BE OVER, I'M SICK OF MCCAIN AND HIS NITWIT SIDEKICK

STOP WHINING JOHNNY.

YOUR ENTIRE CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN ONE BIG "BOO-HOO" SPECTACLE.

LYING, CHEATING, ETC.

MCCAIN USED TO BE CONSIDERED A MAN OF CHARACTER AND AN HONORABLE MAN, EVEN A ROLE MODEL TO SOME.

NOW HE IS LITTLE MORE THAN AN ANGRY, BITTER, WHINY, SELF-ABSORBED OLD MAN WITH OLD IDEAS.

One thing you can bet on. McCain would have never sat for 20 years listening to a preacher screaming "Godd-America!"

He did none of that! I live in California and his ads ran here , in a state he won't win anyway! They reportedly ran in other staes as well.
Stop you're whining John and go clean up the mess your choice for VP is making for you. America's caught on.
Will she "win" tonight? Yep- she has nowhere to go but up. The woman is a joke and has turned you into one along with her.
People can't pick on what's not there. SNL has limited spot on McCain and Biden, becuase there isn't much to play from. Obama Hillary and Sarah give plenty of material to work from- just like GWB

he is right life is not fair. it is not fair that george bush destrode our country. its time to take our country back. OBAMA/BIDEN

Where is the "take personal responsibility" that the rest of us are told by the Republicans when we get bad breaks? McCain made his choices this campaign and is paying the price.

mcbush is a whiner and so are all the repubs. acting like a bunch of losers!

McCain's hopping a ride on the WAAAAAAMBULANCE!!! lol I love it!

.
We could also say that life wasn't fair when Obama was tied with McCain. Or we could say that life was unfair because others involved in the Keating 5 went to prison and McCain didn't. We could also say that it is unfair that 10% of the voters still incorrectly think Obama is Muslim. We could also claim that it is unfair that McCain is doing as well as he is in spite of the way he has screwed up the last three weeks. Get over it and quit whining all of the time. I listened to McCain speak yesterday for 20 minutes and half of that time he was complaining about Obama. I also listed to Obama speak for 20 minutes and Obama talked about details how in he was going to cut waste in government spending. There is a big difference, and maybe McCain being behind is the only thing that is fair.

McCain is a whiner, but this predicament is largely his fault and he needs to own up to it – the erractic behavior, the inconsistent message, picking Palin without vetting her – Americans are frightened at the prospect of electing someone so UN-presidential

You know I'm not a violent person but I could really SLAP the dog boop out of HANNITY, is anyonce else with me on that ?

I'd like to slap McCain for being a liar also but I was tought to respect the Elderly as sometimes they just can't help themselves.

THAT'S his defense for his lousy poll numbers?!? Life isn't FAIR?!? What a whiner. Every day he seems to finds a new way to discredit himself. How un-presidential can you get?

No, the difference is that McCain is focusing on personalities and melodrama, while Obama is focusing on issues.

Got to their websites. McCain policies are full of "shoulds" and little detail about how he will accomplish things other than "tax cut" and "deregulate".

At least Obama has a plan early of discussion.

I miss the McCain from 2000.

Are you serious??

The reasoning behind the tighter VP rules? According to The Times, McCain advisers were concerned that letting Palin, a relative rookie when it comes to debating national and international policy, go toe-to-toe with Biden, would leave her at a disadvantage.

The Obama campaign was reportedly not involved in the discussion, with advisors to Biden claiming they were comfortable with whatever rules were put in place. The negotiations were between the Commission on Presidential Debates, a non-partisan organization, and McCain advisors.

I heard she hasn't even written the chapter on Obama yet. And, I read that the book is about African-American politics and how is has shaped over the years. Certainly, Obama is the highlight of that history. But she isn't endorsing him for president. The book won't even come out until January. And I've heard some arguments that Obama's success is tied to her book sales, but that is preposterous. Obama can lose every state and her book sales will hit the roof along with everything else with his name on it!

Flip Flop..yesterday he just said he had no doubt she would be fair. Today he's backtracking..."life isn't fair...but she'll be fair" By tonight, he slide into "she's on the hook for Obama" which, if she weren't before, she probably is now.

This Old man is so out of touch with "REAL" people.

Those of us that don't have 6,7,8,9,20, homes LIKE MCCain, ARE having problems in this world...we are living paycheck to paycheck...

I am voting for the man with ONE House and ONE CAR! Oh and ONE wife only!

McClueless said: “I'm the underdog. I love being the underdog…. We're going to be up late on election night,”

No Sir, you are a real DOG!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pathetic Fool...........

awe, poor baby. Stop complaining. McCain is losing because he has no plan for the country. He wants to continue Bush's policies. That makes life unfair that we had to deal with a bad economy and two wars thanks to Bush. People are tired of this. We want change and McCain is not the one to provide it. Good riddens.

Wow what a whiner. He/his campaign knew long ago who the moderator for this debate was. Perhaps they are using this so people now will look for this very profession journalist to "sabatoge" Sarah Palin.
John McCain thought that flying off to Washington would show people what a leader he was. What it showed people is he is very quick to react and not think things through, he rushed into thing way too fast without having all the facts. he was on his cell phone the majority of the time he was there just like Obama did. John McCain needs to quit whining....In 2000 I thought he was the man I would like to see as President....now I would not want him or Sarah Palin running our Country.

Oh, and please stop censoring all my posts on each ticker point, starting with the Biden bit...

Boo Frickin who! you are running a bad campaign John – let's face the facts!

Man yells at cloud!

No life isn't fair because if it was Brush never would have become POTUS in 2000 and we the people and this country would not be in the mess we are in because of that court decision.

People vote Obama/Biden and only Democrats this time and in such # that no court will ever get the chance to do this to us again.

This is a new low even for McCain. I can't believe he's crying like a baby. He chose this woman,not America. The more she opens her trap,the more votes Obama receives. Thanks Johnny.

I wonder if any questions about "faith" will come up? Will Sarah answer questions about Pastor Thomas Muthee?

McCain – please! You're taking a page from Palin – how pathetic is this commentary. Everything you say is either whining or lying Pinocchio. The Straight Talk Express is a farce. We'll run a fair campaign, I'll give you someone worthy as VP.... All lies. Pinochio!!!!!!!!!! You've proven to America that you are not Presidential. You need to go somewhere and sit down and shut up! And, you Senator McCain are no underdog. Underdog was a fine hero and a good cartoon. You're just the cartoon.

I see new banners and bumper stickers
LIFE IS UNFAIR

Sounds very Presidential to me!

He didn't stop his ads. His website was still asking for donations. His surrogates were still appearing and blabbering everywhere. He did a Couric interview and snubber Letterman. He spoke at Bill Clinton's CGI event in NYC. THEN he went to DC and arrived at approx. the same time as Obama for the White House meeting at which HE SAID NOTHING. Mr. Magoo must be on acid.

McCain is a liar. He didn't suspend anything, except his credibility.
4 more weeks left for this old fool and his bumbling running mate.

American's must elect a leader. That person is Barack Obama. McCain may have been a Maverick in 2000 but no more.
McCain sold American's out with his VP pick. He should have vetted her and now he is destroying her life.

A Republican voting for Obama/Biden

hey mcbush, do you want some cheese to go with that whine? he still doesn't get it, the economy is a huge concern to us little people. and so far he hasn't hinted at a economic plan. the cost of living is getting out of control, and mcbush still doesn't get how it hurts for us little poeple. whine, whine, whine, boo-hoo, i'm the underdog my eye.

Is McCain really complaining about how unfair life is? I'm sure he is sitting comfortably during this financial crisis while most Americans are having to make tough sacrifices. Support for Obama has gone up through this process because of McCain's tactics during this time. "Suspending" his campaign was seen by many as a shotty political tactic that did not accomplish much of anything. Also, the economic policies of the Bush Administration are finally catching up with hiim and as a result McCain and the Republican party is suffereing a huge blow.

Dang it kids! I will not tell you again

GET OFF MY LAWN AND DON'T COME BACK....dang nabit!!!!!!

Will John McCain for heavens sake change the record......I cancelled my campaign, cancelled my ads and went to Washington.....yes, he went to Washington alright and changed not a darn thing!!!!!!
We the American people are SO OVER this repeat performance that he insists on telling us constantly.......and another thing we are SO OVER is John McCain!!!!
I'm afraid John McCain is out of his league here and having Sarah Palin as the back up plan is just about to expire......tonight may be it!

I am sorry Gernee but yeah he did suspend his campaign he pulled all of his ADs and all Obama did was come out with more and a whole minute commercial of crap !! Go back home Obama we don't need ya.
NOBAMA for 08'

Is he WHINING AGAIN.....McCain grow up, show some backbone and stop complaining all the time.......

He loves being where he is in the polls???
That's good 'cause he's going to be there for a while.

What a sad, sad and pathetic fool you are John. This campaign has destroyed your image and your legacy. You should have taken the high road more often, just as Senator Obama has!

Excuses, excuses cut the whining and get over it. So when things don't go your way find someone or something to blame.

As far as the moderator is concerned both parties were agreeable on the choice if they did not want that individual they had a choice of declining when the request was first made so basically he needs to cut his nonsense and just deal with the cards that he has been dealt with.

Suspending his campaign and did what? For crying out loud it has been said he did nothing while he was there the fact that this man is such a pathological liar is beyond comprehension that people actually can truly believe anything that comes out of his mouth

...now McSame is blaming his failures on life.

McCain is a liar. He didn't suspend anything, except his credibility.
4 more weeks left for this old fool and his bumbling running mate.

»I Love Soledad O´Brien.I Love Suzanne Malveux.I LOVE SARAH PALIN.Why?! Because i have GOOD TASTE:»VOTE McCain/Palin=Presidential DREAM Ticket/Team. Yes.

What McCain did was political grandstanding. In the words of Shakespeare, it was "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing".

Um I think CNN made a mistake. I believe the unfair comment was for the moderator not the movement in polls.

OMG. Does he actually believe the BS that he's shoveling? It's very sad that he's become a shell of a man he once was. R.I.P.

Just say NO to Bush 44 and the Moose Hunter.

Go Obama/Biden!!!

McCain is right. Media reactions depend entirely on what is popular at any given time. Couric/Palin – how can this woman know the answer to everything since she has been in the public eye less than a month; economy bailout/Obama - Obama said nothing; McCain stopped campaigning, went to Washington and shook the Republicans into action; got criticized by Obama; hence the media.

Question: When is it Biden's time to get pummeled - especially since he's hardly the change agent Obama has bill-boarded his campaign on. Indeed, "life isn't fair."

TRUE LIFE ISN'T FAIR MCCAIN! You own how many houses? and how many cars? and your worth how much (100 of millions)? Yeah!!! so can you stop crying foul now...exactly what I was thinking....Life isn't fair for the rest of us!!!

OMG – life isn't fair? Please, Sen. McCain. Life has been more than fair to you. Let's focus on the people of this nation who can't go to the doctor, can't feed their kids, can't pay their rent or mortgages. Quit being the whiner Phi Gramm called the rest of us. You are obviously having a "mental recession" considering your inane statements, you inability to state how many homes you have, and you your choice of running mates. The questions Katie Couric asked of Sarah Palin were not difficult or tricky; they were certainly not unfair. These people are the last ones we need leading our country.

CNN please post this.

Lets hope it's not a blip. I know our memories are short but hopefully not this short. We need to keep focused for less than five weeks. We can do this people.

apparently doing interviews and speeches counts as a suspended campaign...

McCain: LOOK AT ME!!! LOOOOOK AT MEEEE GUYS! I'M THE LEADER!!!!!

Here's a tip: real leaders just lead, they don't try to draw attention to themselves

If it is mentioned tonight, Biden should state McCain's campaign negotiated back in August? regarding the moderator along with Obamas. All were aware of the book especially when there was an article back in July about it..

Yes, Mufasa! "Life's Not Fair!" But think about this, when Rove's folks punked you in 2000 with their lies, what made you think it would be a good idea to hire them this time around? Isn't that kind of like accepting Satan as your personal savior? In the "Circle of Life", Karma counts!

Stop pretending you didn't know what was public knowledge for a LONG time. If your campaign is actually just finding this out, you've got MUCH bigger problems

McCain is shortsighted, rude, ill-tempered, insulting and he still doesn't do his homework and he wants to keep speeding over $10 Billion per month neutralizing NON-EXISTENT WMDs and killing and injuring more of America's men and women in uniform ... and oh yeah, McCain says he HATES WAR!.

America's men in uniform are dying daily and McCain complains that life's not fair! McCAIN'S ALWAYS WHINING!

MOMMY!!!!! He's winning again!!!! WAAAH! not fair!

McCain, you are right. Life isn't fair. It hasn't been fair for many people for a long time. As for your prediction that this economic crisis is temporary, well, it's been getting worse for years, so we can only hope and pray that better days are coming.

McCain suspended nothing. He pulled no ads, his surrogates continued to appear on television, his campaign offices continued uninterrupted. He, himself, appeared on Katie Couric, after lying to David Letterman.

»VOTE with your BRAIN!=VOTE McCAIN!!

would you like some cheese with that WHINE?!?!?! LOL

He's lying again! His campaign did not stop as per his own people who sais that they didn't know that they were to suspend campaigning!

And there were ads showing in certain states so he's full of it!

Liar and dodger to subpeonas what americans do not want!

THANKS BUT NOT THANKS!

There's no doubt–the Democrats win whenever the economy falters, fears of loss of benefits increase, and they a capitalize on those issues.

Reality is...economical cycles–do change..sometimes that's a win..sometimes that's a bust..

We have an extraordinarily costly war going on in Iraq–that we must extricate ourselves from ASAP. But in order to accomplish this extrication–we must respect the loss of blood, sweat, tears or our armed forces–and the people of Iraq

Poor Johny ... life isn't fair. And now a moderator is making things unfair too. Poor Johny and Sarah. That is just so so so terrible. Here, let me call the WAAAMBULANCE for you.

Already, McSame is giving us excuses why Sarah will fail tonight.

Dude, you are such a spin doctor. You do realize you can make more money doing selling your Spin Doctoring than you can as president ... even with all the tax breaks you'd give yourself!

I can't beleive I was prepared to vote for you in 2000! I'm glad I got smarter.

OMG ... how old is this man 72 or 9 (7+2)???

Grow up and realize that very few things in life are fair and we all just have to live with that and go on.

Cry me a river McCain....You suspended your campaign only as a political stunt...just like your selection of Sarah Palin. You accomplished absolutely nothing by suspending your campaign.

I WANT MY MOMMY!!!!! WHERE'S MY BAH BAH?

The McCain campaign is devolving into an absolute farce and circus. You want to start being covered fairly by the media? Stop doing outrageous, ridiculous political stunts in the middle of a financial crisis and start talking about the issues that matter to the American people.

Oh yeh, step into your time machine and replace Sarah Palin with a competent human being.

The press reported on the upcoming publication of Ms. Iffl's book back in July, and it has been available for pre-order on Amazon.com. Since Ms. Palin's numbers are going down fast, the McCain campaign is just setting the stage for their spin tomorrow if Ms. Palin does poorly. How McCain can attack the credibility of Ms. Iffl in order to try and rescue his poor judgment once again is par for the course.

»VOTE with your BRAIN!»VOTE McCAIN!!

OMG I think MCcain had lost his mind. This coming from a man who put COUNTRY FRIST? REALLY SAD DAY IN OUR HISTORY.

how is that fair I say to. I don't see that its very fair that a women that is writing a book that favors Obama gets to be the one that leads the debate !!!!!

Life isn't fair because McCain is down in the polls? No, McCain you're down in the polls because you're wrong on foreign policy and the economy... and yes, because you picked a dumb bimbo for a VP. Take this!

McCain from 8 years ago would absolutely hate the pathetic, whiny, gimmicky McCain of today. Somebady put him in the DeLorean and send him back in time so he can warn himself against selling out and irreparably ruining his reputation.

McCain has become a very dishonorable man. What a disappointment.

Awww, poor little Johnny Boy.

Running to be Whiner-in-Cheif?

He wasn't crying about the amazingly free ride he got straight through the primaries-

For example, the story of how he cheated on and dumped his car-wreck victim wife didn't even come out in the news media until after he won the nomination.

Or how the media ignored the fact that he missed more votes in Congress than Obama did.

Maybe the media was giving him such a free ride because they knew he had no chance of winning anyway.

mommmmmmmmmmmmmmy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

McBush...you are so full of it...you wanted out of the debate and it didn't work..you did nothing...quit trying to make yourself look like you were suspending your campaign for the good of the people...we aren't as stupid as you think we are.

»Americans!»WAKE UP before it´s TOO LATE!!»DO you really WANT a new US President with a ARABIC(!) NAME!???!?!...Are we in Indonesia or are we in AMERICA?!?!??!!... Think CAREFULLY and VOTE on the GREAT and TRUE American JOHN McCAIN. McCain/Palin 08,OF COURSE!

What??? Life isn't fair because you're down in the polls?! What about the people who are losing their jobs and their homes and can't afford to buy groceries or prescription drugs? What about them, Sen. McCain?

Whatever John. Sen. Obama will be in my hood(Newport News, VA) on Saturday. Virginia will be rocking once again. Virginia is not John McCain country as his billboards suggest.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

How about maybe its your fault, people would understand you saying that more than someone else did it. You sound like a KID.

McCain needs to go admit himself to the old folks home. He is really loosing it. What does he know about life not being fair?

Why is this election even close? McCain keeps acting like a spoiled child.

"Life isn't fair"??!?!?!?! So its not "fair" that more voters in this country right now like someone else? Still complaining about not having as many town hall debates as you'd like? Have to have everything you own way? You sound more and more like Bush everyday when you talk like this.

Stop crying and pouting John! Be a grown up!

The McCain camp tried to paint the picture of Palin from the start as this "perfect" person who would swoop in and do wonderful things. However, as facts continue to come out on her and we hear her actually talk without a teleprompter we are repainting that picture of her. She is not the person the McCain camp tried to portray. She has 2 ethics investigations going on against her in Alaska, she received gifts from lobbyist and other special interest people, she charged per diem to stay in her own home, and just yesterday a new poll in Alaska shows her approval rating dropping by double digits. The McCain camp was successful at first of their portrayal but the media is doing there job to tell us the real story and the McCain camp is angry about it.

I know MY life isn't fair-

I only have one house, and one car, and my wife was broke when I married her. She didn't even have a private jet-

Woe is me!

Maybe I should vote for McCain, because he understands what life is like for the little guy- Oh, wait...

MCSAME & PLAIN'S CAMPAIGN IS GOING DOWN IN FLAMES.

Cry me a river. The bottom line is that if the American public trusted Mr. McCain the would be leading in spite of the economy. He cannot even get by without lying here either. He did not suspend his campaing, nor take off adds. What a bunch of BS. That is why he is falling further and further behind. Trying to make people feel sorry for you while portraying yourself as the one and only savior. Time for a reality check. What is sad, is that I would have voted for you 8 years ago. Not anymore.

Here he goes with the excuses

“Frankly, I wish they had picked a moderator that isn’t writing a book favorable to Barack Obama. Let’s face it,” he said. “But I have to have to have confidence that Gwen Ifill will handle this as the professional journalist that she is… Life isn’t fair, as I mentioned earlier in the program.”

Ifill is an outsanding jounalist, but quite frankly I would not like her to be the moderator because I don't want to give them any excuse to spin why Biden wins tonight.

Barack/Biden 08

What media moderator do they want? Sean Hannity? Why can't she write a book about race and politics? It is important. If she wrote a book looking at age and politics, would McCain like her more? This is so stupid. They are grasping at straws.

She is a good journalist and is known for being fair and because she is black people are trying to stir the racial pot. Thats all this is. Here come the cultural attacks everyone!!!

Hmmm.. Life isn't Fiar??? WTH!! Dude– go home - it seems to be fair for you– Mr. I have 7 houses and 13 cars.

Waaaaaaah,

LOL John, you are a dope.

THat is the last straw for me. I gave McCain the benefit of being senile, old, tired, etc. for some of his mistakes lately, but now I realize he is just a bald face liar!!!! The fact that the moderator is writing a book about Obama has been public knowledge since JUNE!!!! and he now wants to act all surprised about it. Either he did know and is a liar, or he did not know, which means he cannot use Google. Either way, it shows what a lame person he is. He is lost my respect and my vote.

lol this man is a Joke

Obamas Support is to large to overcome

LOL

Obama/Biden

More tapioca, Mr. McCain?

Pathetic.

Does this sound like somthing a Presidential candidate should be saying???

He has proven over and over than he's not Presidential or smart!

We alreayd have a dimwit in the White House, do americans really want a replay?

So McCain is saying that the folling questions that Katie asked her were unfair, sexist, gotcha journalism? Really? It sounds like any question that any one asks this governor is a ploy or unfair– what kind of crap is that- does he really think we're that stupid?

The comments come after Palin has faced criticism for her performance during recent interviews with Katie Couric. In the two separate interviews, Palin had trouble defending McCain's record on regulation issues, discussing the economic bailout, defining her foreign policy credentials, naming her preferred sources of news, and naming a Supreme Court case she disagrees with.

Mccain says that people support Barack because "life isn't fair"? What the? That doesn't even begin to make sense! His answers becoming as difficult to comprehend as Palin's. And doesn't it take more time to arrange to take down ads then to just let them run as you are working on the bailout? Furthermore, scores of his campaign offices around the country were still working fervently even as his campaign was 'suspended'. It was such a joke to say it was suspended. I'd like to hear of one thing that didn't happen as a result of that suspension.

McBush, dont lecture me on quality of life with your 12 houses and 14 cars. Sell-out old man.

McCain's sinking ship shown in the polls has nothing to do with life being fair or not.....it has everything to do with the fact that the American people have taken the blinders off and are actually looking at policy/character differences between McCain and Obama. America is growing up and the trend clearly shows that we are sick and tired of the old politics that have nearly destroyed this great country.

Obama has showed leadership throughout this process and will continue when he is elected the next POTUS.

McCain can go home and cry on his over-fluffed pillow. Its over buddy....you lost because you are incapable of changing the course of this country.

McCain is right. Life ISN'T fair. For example, our great country had to suffer the presidency of George W. Bush for 8 years. THAT wasn't and isn't fair.

OBAMA in 08!

Is this a joke? McCain you are so lame. You didn't pull your ads. You didn't suspend your campaign. You pulled a political stunt and add more drama to already overly dramatized event.

Go back to Arizona. They have a bed waiting for you at Shady Pines.

Does this sound like sounding a Presidential candidate should be saying???

He has proven over and over than he's not Presidential or smart!

We alreayd have a dimwit in the White House, do americans really want a replay?

I used to have some respect for McCain but he really is just pathetic now.

LIFE ISN'T FAIR? NO, McCAIN, YOU'RE HISTORY!

Wah-Wah-Wah! What a cry-baby

waa waa waa

To be 72 he sure whines like a 2 year old.

You are the underdog? Please.
Life won't be fair if we have 4-8 more years of the McSame!

GET OFF OF MY LAWN!!!

WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WAHHHHHHHHH!!

CRY BABY!

McCain's a funny man

Oh, boohoo McCain. Grow up. Obama has the lead because people are finally beginning to realise how much of a WHINER/SORE LOSER you are.

Do you want an award for 'suspending' your campaign?!

I can't believe the whining coming out of the McCain campaign about Ifill.

They knew she was writing this book at least two weeks before they agreed to have her as a moderator. At least they should have since it was common knowledge. But maybe the same person vetted Ifill as vetted Palin. We know how well that went, don't we?

But the excuses and whining are for one reason only. They're giving themselves an escape clause should Palin prove to be an unmitigated disaster.

OHHH boooo hooo.. give me a break ! Now who are the whiners?
