CNN

One More time mr. McCAin
What are you going to to?
What is your plan?
What is your vision for this country?
Tell us...stop the attacks and give us facts....the negative campaign is not working...we as citizens are tired of the negative...we get enough of that looking at the ecomony...
the country may not yet be in a financial depression but we are in a depression of hope, and your negative campaign is not helping that...
I hope and pray that McCain/Palin get the butt kicking of a lifetime on 11/4 and maybe that will show that negative does not work.

The only danger to America right now is the Republican party and their lack of leadership and inability to choose a VP nomination that has been more polarizing than any in recent history.

What do I see in Obama:

He is a man of integrity, decent, intelligent, good principles, good values and morale...He might not have the experience but he has good traits and I believe he would do well for us: 2008/2012

Past is the past. We need to think about the future and what is ahead of us....

So John, you are still going to talk about the Economy while you are trashing Sen. Obama? Well, try talking about the last 8 years, I don't think you have much of a track record to go on, do you? Please tell that sidekick of yours it's not Christian to tell lies but I guess you don't care how you get to the White House as long as you do. Good luck with that, you don't stand a chance . The American people have had about all they can take with Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and YOU..

to Dianne October 6th, 2008 12:18 pm ET above,

jeez, you must be getting your knowledge and education from the fox news, right? wow!! you should come up for fresh air from time to time. you may just learn something more substantive.

I am so tired of the character propaganda from the McCain campaign. Fears & smears seem to be all they know...sad.

Many Americans are hurting in these economic times with our 401K's, stocks, home values, food prices, healthcare, etc. Obama & Biden are the ones offering real solutions to these issues.

Obama-Biden '08
Hands down...

Wow, this election has turned into a dung-slinging fest. I think when Obama wins this election (there's no doubt in my mind that he will win) McCain and Palin will look back and be disgusted with themselves.

Excuse me there Palin, were you and her husband part of a group that wanted to separate Alaska from the U.S., Geeeee if thats not loving your country I'll truly like to know what you call it. Mcsame can you say KEATING 5, you thief, let the american people know how many millions of dollars you and your friends stole from people, leaving thousands of people homeless and stealing all their savings. Palin lets talk about (TROOPER-GATE), you lier.

of course he wants to take the focus off of the FACT that he picked a running mate that is not helping him AT ALL!!! lol!

The risky and dangerous ones are McCain and Palin. McCain does not have the temperament and judgment for the job and Palin doesn't have the knowledge or experience on national and international issues.

It ain't gonna work this time folks!

Palin has a checkered past. The witch craft pastor from KENYA laying hands on her. The other pastor saying horrible things about JEWS. her husband and probably her members of Alaska's independent party. The tropper gate. it goes on and on. People wake up.

Let's see. Did we cross that road before. Oh Yeah in the primaries

And it did not work.

On second thought

America may have not like the

The TONE of Rev. Wright soundbites because it made everyone feel hate just by the tone.

but it might have took that type of tone to wake up America and beware of what is going on in America.

Did the chickens come home to roost?

Yep, sure did.

Now the stock is tumbling again America

Let's get with the issues at hand and not old news

Have you looked at your retirement accounts lately? Well, don't look now; you may not have one after today. Thank you McCain for working to deregulate the banking industry for the last 26 years.

Mccain may loose the election but will still be filthy rich.

One Car
One House
One Spouse

One Nation!

If you don't like dirty politics then you better not vote for Obama. That's how he got elected. Check it out and you'll learn the truth. Also, Chicago had more murders last month than soldiers killed in Iraq last month. Hey guys, it's Obama's home town and he helped put the laws in place that made it what it is today.
Honestly, It's to bad they don't have a spot on the ballot that says "None of the above, try again" NO ONE running actually deserves our vote.

It's the economy stupid! McCain can't separate his role in the Keating 5 from today's mess...will Sarah get parole from Alaska so she can still be McCain's Pitbull with lipstick?

It looks as if Ohio, Florida, Virginia and possible Missouri will be deciding the election. It will be interesting to see if the people suffering in those states stick with what got them there or will they step in a new direction.
OBAMA*BIDEN

Governor Palin... watching you makes me want to donate to Obamas campaign even more...$50.00 are on the way Barack!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08/12

The economic crisis can't be ignore Sen. McCain. You can't stop people from worrying about how little they have left to pay bills. You can't stop people from stressing out about if they can send their children to college. You can't stop people from noticing that they can't go a doctor if they get sick.

You can't stop us from seeing through your stunts and distractions anymore.

You CAN stop yourself from becoming the very thing you used to fight against back in 2000. But I doubt that you will...you greed is too hard to counter anymore.

Meanwhile, for all the idiotic Republican BS about not using diplomacy and we dont get it....the Saudi's are holding talks with the Taliban.....wait what? need that repeated?? the Saudi's.....Talking with the Taliban....hmmm. Honestly, can this get any more dangerous, so what now? after all that talk about victory which in its own shows how little we still dont understand about a war like these, here they are chit chatting with the people responsible for 9/11 and so on or atleast we are told..not to mention how little trust we should have for the Saudis as it is after all we did to liberate these countries in the past what return have we gotten? anyone see what that place looks like?? its a freaking palace in its own. Wake up people this is getting ridiculous, they are building disney land in the mid East while we go down the drain, i love it, can it get anymore messed up than this? when will we ever face the music? as far as im concerned if they dont hand over Bin Laden then why are we even bothering, doesnt this....legitimize them as the Republicans like to say....encourage them....hmm...seems to me they are using democratic ideas now that theres have failed, and i love to see McCain acting like they knew all along. Sickens me that Dems were right...keeping in mind both parties are always corrupt, the lesser of two evils seems the only path, but the fact is the Dems i feel would atleast have had us on our feet still, not drive us off a cliff with first grade ideology.

Barack Obama and Joe Biden are CLEARLY the only safe choice this November.

McCain has flip-flopped on running a 'clean' campaign, just for starters, and McPalin is clearly clearly in over her snarky little head.

If you think this country is perfect as it is, vote for McSame..

If you think our country and its reputation could be vastly improved, vote for.....

Obama/Biden 2008

RISKY AND DANGEROUS????????????????

THINGS COULD NET GET ANYMORE RISKY OR DANGEROUS THAN MCCAIN AND THAT DIMWITTED PALIN.

WAKE UP PEOPLE!

Palin and McCain are pathetic. Their desperation and dishonesty know no bounds.

People need a president who look after their money not a divisive one.Obviously the choice is clear.OBAMA IS THE RIGHT MAN FOR THE JOB.
OBAMA/BIDEN 08

McCain behavior is very risky. What he is going to say to God whom he is supposed to meet soon?

Why won't McCain talk about the issues and how to solve the problems?
Why is Palin always going negitive and telling lies?

Palin is more dangerous than a bomb.

Well DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course he's dangerous. Anyone with at least a quarter of a brain can see that.

Unfortunately that brain requirement disqualifies the Obama supporters. Whether they were born that way, too much koolaid, or Oprah brainwashing, they can't see the forest from the trees. They can't/don't see the truth. They wouldn't know the truth if it was a board falling off a Rezscko slum, or a brick flying from one of Ayers bombings, or a cd from one of Wright's hate sermons. No, Obama supporters just go to show that intelligence, reason, common sense, and the truth do not matter in elections (according to them apparently)

We have had 8 years of sure bets and no risk? What was George Bush and his administration all about? Excuse me I am ready to take a chance with Obama. I am already sick of this election can't wait until it and McCain goes away.

Do McCaina nd Palin have any clue as to what is important to us any more in this election?

I've already talked with three people I was trying to swing to Obama, and guess what, they are on board – they are totally disgusted with McCain and his poor judgment in picking Palin and the way their campaign is going.

Take a good look America – is McCain/Palin what you really think will help you and your family's future?

As these final days whine down toward the election the LES HONORALBLE John McCain's campaign has become. In my eyes he as LOST ALL RESPECT and IS SHAMEFUL.

Palin is calling someone else 'dangerous'?

obama wins taxes goes up

cnn is showing great prejudice, always talking up Obama! Everyone I have talked to even people who are leaning towards Obama is really sick of it and because of that issue are talking of voting for McCain!
This is not about who takes the best picture or sounds the best when speaking!!
This is about who is the person who will have us the people in their thoughts. Obama does not care how is wife and family feels...they do not want him to be President!! But, does Obama care?? No its all about him and his ego!!! So do you actually think he care what the American people want, need???
Be smart vote for McCain!!!
MCCAIN '08

What I find risky and dangerous is the fact the the McCain campaign continue to ignore the ECONOMY and are attacking Obama on lies and inuendos.

The Dow is down almost 500 points, down under 10,000 and McCain is not even touching this! How can McCain and Palin even think they are qualified to run this country when they are playing ROVE politics instead of addressing the real issues for the American People?

They are pathetic!!!

CNN, I would like you to investigate a program that I saw on Fxo News last night on Obama. It was called "FRIENDS OF OBAMA – HISTORY ON RADICALISM". I would like CBN and the mainstream media to investigate and find out the truth about Obama. I think the media owes it to the voters to give us the truth about the candidates. The same way you can dig up things on Palin, its about time that we hear about Obama. I would like to know of his years at Columbia and Harvard universities and what did he actually do there. I would like to read about his THESIS which apparently have not been released to the media. Also his contact with some radical people including Palestinians. I challenge CNN to get this information for the american voters before we make our decision on November 4.

McCain and Palin are dangerous. If Americans fall for their falsehoods and lies then I say give them what they serve...another 4 years of nothing!

GO OBAMA

why are you supporting this rubbish CNN? Is it because you want to see this close cause it's good for ratings? you have a responsability here – the economy is going into the tank and you are aiding and abetting the McCain campaign with this noise! you are allowing McCain to change the subject which does no one any good does not help anything except perpetuate the garbage coming out of McCain.

I'm tired of all this hateful rhetoric. Why can't you tell us what ~your~ plans for the nation are? You don't have any plans!

@Gone – When will you people look up and realize that the Michelle Obama comments were an outright hoax. Do you really want to vote for someone that orchestrates hoaxes and lies to win?

The dow is down big, many people loosing their jobs, banks are closing, world markets struggling, we are in a recession and McCain/ Palin only talk about who Obama is tied to? This is really ignorant. Come to the table with a plan or don't come to the table at all.

also, palin is nudging herself in line for 2012. now, that's a laugh!!

obama will run for relection that year. if palin wants, she can try in 2016, against hillary, no less. wink, wink against substance. guess who'll win?

Sahara, Don't throw those gloves away! you will need them when you back back to Alaska, HAAAAAAAAAAAA.

emptyvessel,

Obama was 8 years old!! Get the facts before hanging someone out to dry!! These idiotic lies have got to stop! Palin can read sure but she doesn't know one thing how to run our country.If McCain were to get sick or die she'd be the President. That is one of the scariest things that could happen. Who'd you rather be in office if Obama or McCain got killed or sick?? Biden, who has been in politics for 30+ years or a woman that only was governer of a small town for a few years....HMMMM, easy answer.

Obama/Biden '08

YES WE CAN!!!!

the old guy and the pitt bull..those are he dangerous ones.

Three hundred million people and the best we can come up with is Bush, McCain and Palin?

Repbulican's just lie lie lie. Those Americans who fall for the same Bush tatics are just plain dumb.

THIS is what they think is going to help them?

They have been saying "risky" since the beginning, and nobody bought it. Ever. Not to mention that many people think "risky" is a racist codeword.

Seriously, you don't change the way the polls are going by repeating things you already tried that didn't work.

As for the real terrorism, someone should please ask McCain about his support in the 1980s for the mujahideen (Muslim holy warriors) blowing up things in Afghanistan, which ultimately led some of the mujahideen to form al-Qaeda. Or about McCain's friendship and support for Gen.Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan, who refused to help capture Bin Laden in 1999 and who continued to support and use the Taliban.

I am so shocked that Palin told Biden not to look into the past and dig up facts about the ticket....Now what is she doing? Is she really a CHRISTIAN? Can we trust HER WORD OM AMYTHING? Sarah its less than a week that you said to all Americans that we shouldnt go back to the past...What happened? Are you really an outside to WH when you were mayor you aired lobbyist to solicit for earmarks, you did same as Gov...I DONT THINK SARA CAN BE TRUSTED..Since you change your stand like Mccain by the hour
I am Joe from chicago and i approve this message

The Big Elephant (The GOP) is trying to hide the Bigger Elephant in the room (The Economy)

Puleeeezz!

We are smarter than this. Your camp is desperate and out of ideas!

BO 08

McCain is a desperate loser! He stole Obama's campaign theme of "change" but conducts the same Karl Rove style campaign tactics that Bush did.

How am I supposed believe he will change anything!?! Actions speak louder than words McCain.

Oh, and your vp pick is a JOKE!!!!

John McCain said he knows how to win a war.

Then, WHY are we still in Iraq?? WHY are our people still being killed?

If McCain knows how to win a war, WHY hasn't he done it yet?

McCain is pure slime it is so sad to see him having to resort to these garbage tactics. Now we see what Palin was brought in to do attack Sen. Obama and if he directs anything at Palin.
Ignorance from those who will play it as he's attacking a white woman ( racist / sexist pigs).
My car was repo'd last week and my landlord may be losing the duplex I rent. So all this CRAP.... about the past is doing nothing for me.

John McCain has no honor americans are suffering and he's not talking about the issues..and Palin makes white women look like trash talking idiots.

This is ridiculous. What is the difference between McCain and Obama? The are the same just different sides of the coin. They proved this last week when they both voted in favor of this bailout (rescue plan) package last Wednesday when the majority of people including many economists were not in favor of this bill especially with all this pork ($150 Billion worth).

If you want real change Vote for a Third Party candidate.

I'm voting Bob Barr, you vote for whom you think is the right choice.

How is John McCain's relationship with Charles Keating related to today's economic crisis?

When the savings and loan industry collapsed, Keating's failed company put taxpayers on the hook for $3.4 billion and more than 20,000 Americans lost their savings. John McCain was reprimanded by the bipartisan Senate Ethics Committee, but the ultimate cost of the crisis to American taxpayers reached more than $120 billion.

The Keating scandal is eerily similar to today's credit crisis, where a lack of regulation and cozy relationships between the financial industry and Congress has allowed banks to make risky loans and profit by bending the rules. And in both cases, John McCain's judgment and values have placed him on the wrong side of history.

The Republican ticket has no answers about any substantive issues, so they are just mud-slinging to distract the American public about issues that matter.

When it comes down to it, Barack Obama has never been formally investigated regarding any of these alleged "scandals;" which are really just being manufactured by the Republican smear machine. McCain, on the other hand, has faced investigation and admitted to impropriety in the Keating Five affair. Sarah Palin is currently being investigated in regards to abuse of power in Alaska.

When people say that they don't "know anything about Obama," what do they really mean? The man has written two books about his relatively short life. One outlines his life history from childhood through Harvard Law. The other one outlines the framework of his policy positions regarding all major issues since he entered public life. Maybe those who claim to not know anything about Obama ought to try reading a book, in stead of trying to ban books like Palin did in Alaska.

"About 300 guests turned out Saturday night to celebrate the 90th birthday of Joseph 'Joe Bananas' Bonanno, retired boss of New York's Bonanno crime family. He retired to Tucson in 1968. . . John McCain, R-Ariz., and Gov. Fife Symington sent their regards by telegram."
The maverick,the "straight talk express",you've got to laugh.John McCain and Joe Bonanno a founding member of "the commission".

LIERS can't be trusted. We do not need 4 more years of LIERS in the white house. McCain and Palin are LIERS. They fail to see the need for facts and they have no plan. It was easy for Obama to agree to so many of McCains statements during the last debate because most of what he said were Obama's IDEAS in the forst place stollen by McCain he has not had a good idea of his own. All his ideas are FAILURES. LOOK AT HIS VP selection.

The US troops are raiding villages and killing civilians in Afghanistan.

ONE DAY OBAMA's CHICKEN WILL COME HOME TO ROOST !!!!!

Des 'Risky and Dangerous' mean BLACK?

Come on, look at those ads, they scream racism. Dark scary music, shades Obama's face a tad darker with a black scary background like he's coming in your back door unannounced....

Maybe the skinhead Schmidt directed the campaign to go this way but I can tell ya, Americans and the world is tired of racism McCain. Start conducting an adult campaign and Man Up!

This sort of baby slapping avoids the real issues at stake. Mccain pulled Obama into this, just like he politicized the economic crisis… is Mccain’s campaign still officially in “suspension?” There is no doubt that Mccain is openly embracing the Muslim charges against Obama, which cannot be perceived as anything other than prejudicial racism. SO WHAT!? Isn’t this a free country or not? Why is it such a big deal even if he is Muslim? Mccain and Palin are trying to paint him as a terrorist, just because they are convinced that he is Muslim. These idiots are quick to connect him to his former Christian pastor Jeremiah Wright, and then simultanteously slide over to charge him with the fallacious accusation of being Muslim. This is a serious disjunction in the thought patterns of many racist Americans. It’s unbelievable.
Anyways… Obama’s professionalism transcends any politician this year… it’s clear, because he ended up on top of a two year long presidential race. He will NOT be brought down to Mccain/Palin’s level. They will not win because of their inability to connect with the real DIVERSE American population that many Americans pick up arms and fight for.

The stock market is shouting that the economy is in serious trouble, and all the McCain camp can do is try to throw mud.

Keep your eye on the real issues, Senator Obama!

We desperately need you in the White House!

The more I see her, the more I dislike her.

Go ahead, "Mom of the year," point those fingers. I have one for you, knowing fully well that you were to give birth to a child with a disability, why, after your water broke, did you finish a speach in Texas, head to the airport, and get on a plane to fly back to Alaska to give birth?

What kind of a "loving mother" would put her child's life in jeopardy???

You are just out for yourself. You throw your family under the bus at every turn. Unbelieveable

One thing that Palin is naturally gifted at: the Karl Rove school of dirty talks. She hasn't caught her other coursework yet, but this one, she just fit right in. If this election doesn't work out for her, she will always have a job with Karl.

For those who hates Michelle Obama, why don't you just be honest and say that you hate Black People. Don't be ashamed, tell the world what you really feel.

We as Americans woke up way too late. After eight years of not paying attention, and focusing on issues to distract us from the real issues, we are about to elect 4 more years of the same. We're slow learners.
OBAMA/BIDEN for a new direction.

"We are oft to blame in this;'Tis too much proved—that with devotion's visage; And pious action we do sugar o'er the devil himself." (Hamlet Act 3 Scene 1)

"I sigh; and, with a piece of scripture, Tell them that God bids us do good for evil: And thus I clothe my naked villany with old odd ends stolen out of holy writ; And seem a saint, when most I play the devil." (Richard III Act 1 Scene 3)

And this has what to do with the Economic Meltdown. TheDOW was down 10,000 points today and more banks will crumble in days to come....MCSHAME wake up....Do you really want to go down that road. It will not help you at all if the KEATING 5 scandal that you had a hand in comes out AGAIN......That took down the biggest S&L and needed a gov bail out. The issue is who do you trust and we do not trust you and that silly woman PALIN.....That show's how much we can trust you. Your choice in picking her was proof positive you are not to be trusted. She is a running SNL SKIT with her own words.. You can't write this......If you were a true MAVERICK then you would have gone against your Party and picked OLD MAN LIBERMAN OR THAT SCRAWNY WIMPY PAWLENTY..........

Sarah, Let's talk about ignoring subpoenas, shall we?

Democrats don't have any political interest in getting their constituents out of poverty. Lemmings, keep following your MASTERS.

Palin is being investigated for abuse of power....she can't speak with talking points and now ten days later is saying she didn't like the questions Couric asked?......she should be the last person to throw stones about someone's pastor......cannot believe that these church going people can stand there and lie through their teeth......
She keeps saying "Drill Baby Drill"....think she should change the Republican campaign slogan to save their campaign to "Keep on telling lies, Baby, keep on telling lies.........
Their signs say Country First......and they leave Michigan....what does that say to Joe Six Pack and Hockey Moms in that state.....if you can't do anything for us......we're gone!

Talk about a sleezeball. Barak Hussien Obama has his (workers)? dragging homeless people down to vote for him. How low can you get? All the things that McCain and Palin are saying about him are true. Oh well, the truth hurts. Go McCain/Palin 08

McCain/Palin: ALL NEGATIVE ALL THE TIME...LIE LIE LIE

What a set of pathetic losers....

These people are attacking Obama instead of the issues because there is no substance to their campaign. They should stick to the issues because that's what the American people deserve and want to hear.

Palin's job is obvious = radicalize the base. The Republicans walk into dangerous territory.

The more Sara Palin speaks, the more McCain's numbers drop. The
stupids who are willing to look dumb standing behind Sara Palin at the
McCain rallies when she spews her venom is becoming scarce.

DESPERATE, PANICED AND DELUSIONAL=Mclame and whats her name?

TO: CNN. You continue to post blogs containing the lowest of the low attacks on Governor Palin, calling her a witch and names that are not permitted in what is left of polite society. And worst of all - downing a past religion and criticizing it's pastors, and its members and their practices. Also those that contain every slanderous name one can think of against John McCain. Yet, when one attempts to critique Obama's past affiliations - his blog is never posted. Why?

We've got your back here in NC Barack. Don't worry.

to the palin/mccain campaign and their supporters, no matter what you say about sen. obama (which have already been debunked so many times in the past), it will not change the majority of americans' belief that what we are going through right now was caused by mccain's reckless and irresponsible support throughout the years of deregulations to benefit his friends and allies, charles keating, et al.

i will still make sure that obama gets into the white house to clean up this mess, with my support. palin can then go back to alaska and face the wrath of the good people of that state and answer for her abuse of power.

senators obama and biden will win this election via landslide.

speaking of SHADY, go to ALASKA, where Palin is under investigation, and REPUBLICAN Senator, Ted Stevens is on trial for corruption, all in her backyard, maybe she'll blame it on RUSSIA..

Lies and smears.. This is all the disgusting GOP/ can come up with.

Vote for HOPE.

BEWARE!!!

He's black!!!!

I'm just waiting for that one. I wouldn't be surprised to hear it. Grow up Palin/McCain campaign.

If people don't know enough about Barach Hussein Obama, it is because, like many of my "college" students, they refuse to research and read for themselves. If a man runs for President twice and loses, what makes him worthy of being President now? McCain has tried for the office on a couple of occasions. He lost to G.W. Bush; that, in and of itself is telling. With the current conditions on Wall Street after the bailout, there is no room for name calling. That's what one does in elementary school before he/she knows better. When one becomes an adult, it would seem necessary to employ adult tactics when resolving disagreements. I couldn't care less about Rev. Wright, Ayers, or Michelle Obama. I care about the future of this country, and if McCain/Palin cannot find anything better to do with their time than to hurl insults at their opponent, both have proven to me that they are truly incompetent and unworthy of my vote. Maybe McCain can try again in 2012, if he's still around.

It is a sad day in America when our ecconomy is in shambles and all the McCain camp can do is throw mud and lies...... what are you going to do to fix the mess you supported McCain? America is ready for Change not the same Rove mud slinging that you and PainLin appears is all you can do..... get a clue and run straight back to AZ .... the only state I know of that does not celebrate MLK day.... what a shame!

the markets around the world are falling like tumbling every day, mccain is cancelling his campaign to look like he cares and failing utterly, Palin sounds like a hastily prepared political See 'n Say, and the GOP are tauting deregulation in an era where the Iraq war is costing as much every week as CEOs are earing on bonus checks.

Who, exactly, is the risky choice again?

ITS TIME FOR THE MCCAIN / PALIN TICKET TO SHOW JUST WHO OBAMA IS. THANK GOD ITS FINALLY STARTED BECAUSE THE OBAMA SUPPORTERS ARE NOT GOING TO COMPLETE ANY RESEARCH ON THIS MAN.
I DO REALIZE THAT THE DIE HARD OBAMANUTS WILL NEVER GET IT BUT HOPEFULLY THE MCCAIN/PALIN TICKET WILL OPEN UP THE EYES OF ENOUGH PEOPLE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

McCain thinks we have turned the corner.????? More bad judgement!

The Dow just dropped below 10,000.

McCain needs to get serious. He should put his energy to figuring out his economic plan and focusing Ms Palin before he is out of the game completely.

This is a time of crisis, America doesn't have time to play mudslinging games.

palin and mccain is actually throwing the election. He is actually too sick to be president and she is aiming for 2012.

Ayres did what he did, when Obama was 8 years of age unlike mccain with the keating 5 a grown adult.
No need to bring up Rev. Wright, palin also was prayed over for witch craft or was it to instill witch craft? Don't forget todd palin who belonged to Alaska succeeding from the Union.

Fear and Smear is all they have left! In the midst of everything, this is a desparate ploy to distract from the real issues. Americans have been lied to long enough. How can a campaing of lies, fear, and smear help with todays economy? Same old tactics, same old policies, same old result!

Investigate if John McCain was invested in Silver Bank of Arizona and got his money out before it failed in August '8. If so it was totally unethical of Sen. John McCain to do so knowing investors would lose their money and he said nothing. McCains son was CEO of Silver Bank and quit 2 months before it crashed, did he leave with a parachute package and John McCain was in Arizona every weekend during this time. Investigate Please.

I`ll vote for Sarah because she is a hockey mom, a pal of Joe-Six pack and she winked at me on national TV ( swoon . Now that shows she is able to lead this country. To where !!!-- I don`t know, but it`s scary !!!!!!

McCain and Palin just get more pathetic everyday. Come up with something original. They are so bad off, they can't even come up with new stuff to try and win the campaign. It's just pathetic.

THE MARKET IS DOWN 500 159000 JOBS LOST PEOPLE LOSING THEIR LIFE SAVINGS AND 401 KS AND THIS IS WHAT THIS CAMPAIGN WANTS TO TALK ABOUT, HOW INSULTING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, WHY DO WE HAVE TO LISTEN TO THESE PEOPLE, DIDN'T THE R.N.C HAVE A BETTER MAN FOR THE JOB, OR A RUNNING MATE, GOD HELP THIS COUNTRY AND THE FUTURE OF OUR CHILDREN.

And let's not forget to talk about Todd's wanting Alaska to secede from the US.

They have nothing but Jeremiah Wright. This is such old news. Nobody gave a rip when Bush was in relation with James Dobson and Ted Haggard. Same thing. People are just reaching for anything and might I note that this topic didn't lose it for him in the primaries because people don't really care about it and it won't lose it for him in November. This election is over, no matter what they try to misrepresent.

Sarah Palin = Top Fundraiser for Barack Obama.
Keep lying governor, I may have to eat tuna for the month but it will be worth it.

McCain is going down because of several issues:
1. Voted 90% of the time for Bush.
2. Keating 5 S&L crisis.
3. Phil "Whiner-gate" Graham.
4. Rick "Keep paying me Fannie Mae/Freddy Mac" Davis.
5. McCain not a maverick just a Gambler.
6. Sarah "Trooper-gate" Palin.
7. Mark " I got ties to Ayers Too" Sanford
8. Carl "He can't run a business" Fiorina

Lets hope Obama does not take this crap lying down.he needss to confront McCain in the debates front and center on his role in th eKeating 5;his campaign manager's receipt of funds for access;his failiure to release health records;and Phil gramm as an economic advisor.He has to take off the gloves and call him out as a desperate venomous liar who is making a public spectacle of himslef and the USA by his campaign tactics.

In response to gone, I think that when all is said and done is that people are going to realize that it is very hard to believe anything that McCain/Plain have to say. Voters are going to remember the distortions and the lies that have become an everyday feature of their campaign. In the end people are going to think if McCain has problems with the truth now, how is he any different from George Bush and why would we think that anything would be different once he became president.

I am very disappointed with the Republican party and with John McCain. At first, I had no idea who Sarah Palin was. Now I am just ticked. I can't even imagine her as a CEO of a large business let alone be the vice-president of the country with largest economy of the world. She is a good attack dog, I'll give her that. That's about it though.

KEATING 5! KEATING 5! KEATING 5! KEATING 5! KEATING 5! KEATING 5! KEATING 5! KEATING 5! KEATING 5! KEATING 5!
KEATING 5! KEATING 5! KEATING 5! KEATING 5! KEATING 5!

That's all the "judgment" you need to know. McCain is not qualified to lead this nation out of the economic disaster under way. So what do McCain/Palin point out? Rev. Wright? Bill Ayers? It's all about the past.
So if they want to talk about the past, let McCain explain all the deregulation he OK'd and then talk about his "palling around" with Charles Keating.

Today's news exemplifies the reason why neocons are going down the tubes. As the economy crashes under Republican deregulation, the media parrot Palin's garbage attacks against Obama. Palin has replaced Ann Coulter as the Queen of Mean, cheered on by the neocons who love to hate.

A change in tide for conservatives would require that they start thinking for themselves, instead of regurgitating the divisive talking points of the day.

You decide if Mr. “Keating 5” who was sanctioned by the Congressional Ethics Committee for taking campaign contributions, is the type of public servant who want to have access to the public till? Especially given the state of the banking industry?

McCain and Palin are two morons that have nothing constructive
to offer with the situation of the economy that's the reason they are
coming with all these false claims.

Palin is completely braindead. Totally incoherent, understands nothing, is completely programmed by the McCain campaign to STICK TO THE SCRIPT, and so on, and so on.....

McCain insulted the intelligence of every American when he chose Palin for the simple reason that he thought he could cajole the vast majority of women in America, especially white women, to flock to him with this lame, pathetic choice.

Palin insulted every American in the VP debate when she looked into the camera and said that she would not answer the questiosn she was aksed, but would talk about what she wanted to talk about....period!

The DOW JONES is down 400+ points again today, so if you value your job, pension,401(k), retirement accounts and your FAMILY, Children and their futures, say NO to McCain / Palin in November.

Sarah, you disappoint me. I thought you were like one of us. Remember, "Straight Talk". Sounds more like "Smear Talk". I still haven't heard what you are going to do to change things. I'm out of a job and hurting financially. Stop the smearing and tell me what you are going to do to fix the economy. Winking and avoiding questions doesn't do me any good. I had such high hopes when you got on the ticket. Now I have to vote Democratic for the first time in my life. Thanks but no thanks, Sarah.

What's risky and dangerous is for McCain to choose Palin as his running mate and putting her a heartbeat away from the Presidency. This "woman" can't string two sentences together without being told what to say and goes off into la-la land on a different subject every time she can't answer a question.

This is truly a sad time in American politics. I use to like McCain, but not any more. With everything going on in our country right now....is this all they have to talk about. Why can't McCain tell us why we should vote for him, instead of telling us that Obama is risky. John McCain has really disappointed me and Sarah should be ashamed of herself. The rest of the world is watching us too....is this what we want to show them? How sad.

Dirty politics has no place in America today...and even the rest of the world. Why can't the Republicans learn to be sensible and change their ways?

Someone should ask Palin: "Who would Jesus diss?"

She should answer for her very un-Christian behavior.
In "my world" this makes Palin the "dangerous" candidate.

Perpetually fretting Democrats will not want to accept it. The campaigns themselves can’t afford to believe it. Many journalists know it but can’t say it. And there will certainly be some twists and turns along the way. But take it to a well capitalized bank: Bill Ayers isn’t going to save John McCain neither Rev. Wright wii. The race is over.

John McCain’s candidacy is as much a casualty of Wall Street as Lehman or Merrill. Like those once vibrant institutions, McCain’s collapse was stunning and quick. One minute you are a well-respected brand. The next you are yelling at the messengers of your demise as all around you the numbers start blinking red and stop adding up.

H Obama= maybe good for economy
H Obama= bad character, shady relationships, far leftist, no experience, probably not looking out for my best interests.

NOBAMA

Economy

The campaigning that I see as an independent is getting so irritating. It appears that one particular party is becoming a whinner and nitpicker on anything and everything that does not suit them. Also, that they will stop at nothing to get what they want. This is scarey and getting played out. It does nothing for me to believe if you can try and be deceitful, mean, cuthroat, embellishing, and whinning, and non-sportsmanlike that you can be good for our country.
There are issues here in this country right?

This is coming from the people who brought you one of the dirtiest presidential campaigns in history! McCain's decision to wallow in the mud and sling it at Obama is pathetic. Only the John Q. Adams campaign was more disgusting. Mrs. Andrew Jackson was accused of adultery and bigamy and the people were repulsed by it. Jackson went on to win, just like Obama will win BIG in November!

The irony is when things are not going your way lets get nasty. People don't care about this stuff we already know about all of this already. Why can't they stay on topic or do they truly have absolutely nothing of significance to discuss with the American people. Come on now we don't want to hear about Rev Wright, we don't want to hear about Rezno, we don't want to hear of anything the Republics feels they want people to know. We want to know what is the Republicans will do that will be different from George Bush, we want to know why is it we should be voting for them cause as it stands they have shown absolutely no reason for anyone to be interested in their cause as it stands for NOTHING.

With that being said we will stick to the person who has been telling us what their plans are, what they will do for us and that is Barack Obama.

"McCain advisors are wagering that the attack is worth the risk."

Well of course, he loves gambling and he's a "maverick."

Who sounds "dangrous" and "risky" now?

the only real danger comes in the form of the war mongerer and the woman who acts before blinking...... the neo-conservative ticket.. if they win, we will always be involved in war.. why doesnt every american see this.. or maybe they do, they just dont care seeing how some on making a buck on the blood of our young men and women.

george mccain and sarah cheney are nothing but the same disastrous duo we have had for the past 8 years.

I guess if you can't win on the economy or on foreign policy or on the war, there's always smears and distractions.

Governor do you pray with that lying mouth!

Swiftboat is old and we are not falling for this or the smear ads anymore. 90% of the people I know in our battleground state (dems,idep and reps) are all voting for Obama and think the latest MCSAME ads and comments are garbage.. NOT THIS TIME ROVE!!!!

Not one of you bots has the intenstinal fortitude to actually REFUTE the STORY that was in the fish rag that you all love the NY times.

THEY wrote the piece and she is simply asking the VALID question of why did Obama have his political coming out party in a known terrorists living room and why did he accept his cash?

Ayers wasnot cleared of all charges and would have been bagged for more except for a BS technicality and if you did some homework you would KNOW that AYERS STATED on 9/12/01 that he didn't think they BOMBED ENOUGH OF OUR US INSTALLATIONS.

You Obama worshippers had better do yourselves a favor and read his books. You'll see that he has personally admitted to the things opponents are saying about him. What isn't known though, is what was he up to during his years at Columbia and Harvard. Learn who his best friend was at Harvard. Hint: Recently convicted in Chicago; initials TR.

Whereas the prospect of placing Sarah Palin second in line to the presidency is not at all risky and dangerous?

I think Sarah Palin is the ultimate risky and dangerous....she is also an idiot!!!

Gone-dream on!!!! McBush has so much dirt in his closet as does Cindy. Don't you get it....... the thinking American voter who is hurting couldn't care less about Rev. Wright or Michelle Obama, they are concerned about being able to buy food and gas and being able to have a home that isn't being snatched from underneath them. Your thinking is exactly why the Pubs are where they are now. No ISSUES just JUNK that doesn't resonate with voters.

The only risky and dangerous problem I can see is having an inexperienced hot head like Sarah Palin in the Oval office when John has his big one. That would truly be a night mare.

What happened to the old John McCain? This is just sad that his campaign is dipping so low. I will be voting Dem for the first time in my life. I just dont trust my own party anymore. I dont like dirty politics. I do understand that Obama needs to point out the negitives in McCains camp, but I also realize who started this. I will vote the issues, not the rumors or slander going on. I'm jumping on the Obama band wagon, move over and make room for yet another disalussioned republican.

Gone – I think you're wrong. "It's the economy stupid" – the Republicans cannot untangle themselves from this debacle, no matter how much they try to use fear and racism to do so. I think the Keating 5 counter attack is a necessary counterpunch. Unsavory, yes. True? You betcha.

What are the issues? What is the state of America? Economy? Again what are the issues?

Dirty politics has no place in America today...and even the rest of the world. Why can't the Republicans learn to be sensible and change their ways?

"Risky and Dangerous" – to say the least. Electing Obama would be a HUGE disaster! I'm just hoping McCain can pull it out. He was never my first choice....But, he would be far better than Obama.

How many times are they going to change their campaign message?
OBAMA/BIDEN 08

If the MSM had done their jobs last year and not made Obama out to be "god-like", then they would have taken the time to do a proper vetting of the man.

After 1. ACORN
2. Rezko
3. Ayers
4. Rev. Wright
5. Father Flagger
After these were looked into Hillary would have been the nominee. But because the DNC wanted Hillary out of the way they elevated Obama so much so that the sexism and reverse racism came rushing out.

If you are white and you question Obama in any way you are deemed racist. Bill Clinton of all people was called racist because he said this whole thing was a fairy tale. How "fairy tale" turns into racism I'll never know.

So go ahead Obama bring up Keating...it was dems who went to jail. John McCain & John Glenn were rebuked!!! That's it!!!

Laura, Boston

Silly people.......Dirty politics has no place in America today...and even the rest of the world. Why can't the Republicans learn to be sensible and change their ways?

Palin is a tax evader. She should be in jail!

Obama is a calm LEADER. McCain likes to tilt at windmills and thinks he's riding to the rescue.

McCain's time was in 2000. He lost because his character was smeared. He promised he would never do that. He is a liar – he traded in his honor for power. Shame on him. He is not worthy to lead me.

If Sarah Palin wasn't a big liar she would not be going backward. In the debate she accuse Jo of going backward and now what is the Barbie doing, Backsliding backsliding like the campaign is doing. I smell trouble trouble trouble for the McCain camp. You better get ready for a nasty battle Sarah and hope you and 1st Dude is really for the final outcome.

Thought McLiar was going to run an honorable campaign – this is the biggest bunch of sleeze we've seen in a long time. Who is John McCain?

I can't even begin to express my total lack of respect for a fellow Navy man. McCain is a disgrace, and he continues to dishonor himself further by tring to paint a Presidential candidate as unpatriotic. He and his lapdog (Palin) need to disappear, before they eternally seal their own fates of never holding any political office ever again.

The economy is a mess, our reputation is in shreds–all because of Bush's policies, which McCain has supported 95 percent of the time.

If you buy into McCain/Palin's obvious smear tactics, then I hear they have a bride to nowhere you might be interested in purchasing in Alaska. Their campaign has no substance other than failed policies.

These people have no shame and are desperate.

What could be more 'risky, dangerous' than what Senator McCain has already done? He called for deregulation of the financial markets for decades and then was surprised by their greed and corruption. He selected a Vice President without proper vetting who has little knowledge of national affairs outside Alaska, let alone international. Heck, the Gov. hasn't even been a student of world affairs and doesn't intend to be, nor does she have any interest. How risky and dangerous is that to have someone who has no depth and breadth of knowledge in a position to become President when the Presidential candidate is 72 with melonoma with father and grandfather dying before they were 75? The Republican Party is risky and dangerous putting up these unstable and erratic candidates for high office. As my Dad used to say, "We may have been born yesterday, but we spent the rest of the day looking around". We've more sense than you give us credit for. Don't prove me wrong Americans! This US versus THEM mentality that has gridlocked Washington will just continue with this ticket and others like them – who dismiss the whole East Coast as elitists and liberal. ENOUGH is enough, we are NOT going back. We are moving forward with or without you!

McCain/Palin-Out of Touch/Out of her mind

Out of options, out of answers....

Out of time...

Sheesh. These two do for Republicans what the Reverend Jim Jones did for kids drinks.

The McCain campaign can come out with all kinds of ads and lies to tie Obama to but it won't work, people. When are you going to realize that? It doesn't matter what you try to tell the American people, we are not falling for it. When is the McCain campaign going to get this in their thick heads? The more you lash out at Obama and not talk about what we want to hear, the economy and how you can fix it, the more the polls are going in his favor. How stupid of this campaign to think for one minute that the people are falling for all this b.s. Whoever is without sin, let him throw the first stone. Apparently, the McCain campaign thinks they are without sin. Well, the last laugh will be on you come November 4th. And the polls will continue to be in Obama's favor up until the BIG day when he will win by a landslide. All of your tactics and schemes are backfiring on you. And make sure you give Slurpin-Syrupy Sarah Palin a BIG thanks for it. How dare she has the audacity to talk when her closet is full of skeletons and she can't confront her own issues nor talk about them....hyprocrite!

McCain is going down because of several issues:
1. Voted 90% of the time for Bush.
2. Keating 5 S&L crisis.
3. Phil "Whiner-gate" Graham.
4. Rick "Keep paying me Fannie Mae/Freddy Mac" Davis.
5. McCain not a maverick just a Gambler.
6. Sarah "Trooper-gate" Palin.
7. Mark " I got ties to Ayers Too" Sanford
8. Carl "He can't run a business" Fiorina.

what has happened to john mcain i have lost all respect for him.

All Palin has done is show what big liars she and McCain are. They have nothing to offer but fear and racism. They both need to be jailed for fraud on the American people.

Geez GOP, your running out of ideas more than SNL...

the only thing that is gone, is your brain buddy

Thanks CNN for devoting all of your coverage to McPalin's anti-Obama BS. Maybe the first time Sarah Failin called Obama a terrorist it was news, but why is it news the 8th, 9th, and 10th times?

If it wasnt' bad enough that FoxNews is pulling out all the stops to get McPalin elected, now CNN takes the same route.

On a day when the Dow is once again 400+ points down – below 10,000 for the 1st time in years – I would think that the Co-Mavericks would be paying more attention to the economy rather than the same old tired attack Obama strategy.

Why isn't the head Maverick suspending the campaign and parachuting into Washington?

Let me fix this for you with the truth about why John McCain will not win the Presidency:

When all is said and done, McCain is going down in November because of two issues that won’t go away:

1. Economy and deregulation
2. Sarah Palin

There’s not much else voters REALLY want to know about McCain – but these two will stick!

Good Luck and Go Obama

McCain and Palin protest too much.

Maybe (in addition to his own recklessness) it is because McCain's connections to extremist right-wing organizations are coming up for discussion again.

And, another huge stock market drop today.

Grasping for straws McCain, grasping for straws.

and this has what to do with the failing economy that McCain helped create?

How utterly slimy!! They cant rely on their record or their stands on issues so they attack Obama's character & patriotism...that speaks volumes about their readiness to lead the nation out of the mess its in. The voters wont be fooled, unlike what they think,the voters are intellegent!!

So easy to sling mud when you are unprepared to substaniate them!!

Why does CNN keep repeating comments they have "fact checked" as FALSE?? What kind of a news organization does that.

Palin's outrageous remarks should not be publicized unless she is willing to sit down and bach them up with an objective journalist. Until she does that, her remarks should be ignored.

Unqualified and outrageous should be used as adjectives to describe McCain and Palin. She is only reciting what has been written for her. She has no substance and needs to be ignored. McCain should know that he is far from perfect and he'd better be careful w/his attacks. He's got plenty of skeletons in his closet. Palin needs to think about her own pastoral ties and troopergate, etc. We want the issues dealt with and for them to quit focusing on the past. They have no strategy to win in november so they resort to low blows and lies...the american people deserve better than what the republican party is offering up now...it's all BS and we're fed up with it~

This is hilarious. Palin is the risky one. People who vote for the Republican ticket are just plain idiotic.

Gone,

Give it a break. The Americans that have an IQ above 70 are looking into the devestating economy and two horrible wars that the Republicans put us in.

There is no way Americans are going to let the Rove style politics of fear mongoring and smear attacks distract us from major issues.

McCain is failing, and if his presidency was run anything like his campaign than this country is done for. Palin is just plain Failing. She may attract the 5-10% folksy people of this country, but the other 95-100% see right through her.

all the GOP does is attack... we want to know about the ISSUES

DOW IS DOWN BELOW 10000 POINT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 4 YEARS. I DO NOT CARE ABOUT ANY CANDIDATE PAST CONTACT.

Anger, fear and smear...........the republipuke mantra!

Note to McSame: Its the economy, stupid!

Desperation 08!!!!!!!!!!!

Keating 5 will blend well with the economic crisis we are in ....

'Gone' should realize that McCain and Palin should not be throwing stones. Let us not forget Palin's own extremist pastor, nor McCain's involvement in the Keating scandal. The McCain campaign in merely lashing out in a last-ditch attempt to fool the American people into voting for them.

I'd think McCain/Palin would get the hint that America doesn't want any more of these nasty worthless attacks. Obama needs to hit him back quickly and affectively to show McCain isn't no angel!

Obama/Biden '08

The Democrats and Obama just got provided the greatest news headline possible:
"the stock market falls below 10.000 points in years, and McCain wants to turn the page". John McCain obviously believes a 700 billion dollar fix is all that needs to be done here. Just throw in the money and that's it. No more work to be done here.
Oh boy, we're so screwed if the Republicans come in again. There will be no work on fixing the economy whatsoever right? I start to believe the Republicans genuinely do not understand economy.

Boooo Booooo! WHAT ABOUT THE ISSUES? WHAT ABOUT THE ISSUES? WHAT ABOUT THE ISSUES? Our ECONomy is in the trash and this is all you can pull out? 29.....28.......27.......26...........25 days and counting. GW...do you need help packing?

Haven't we been here already? Palin is the LAST person who needs to bring up wacky pastors, with her witch-hunting prayer warrior and her American-hating, secessionist husband.

McCain-Keating 5, nothing more to say.

McCain is a old dirty politician and got Palin out there doing his dirty work i wondering if Palin realize if McCain loses Palin can give up her politics up in Alaska. McCain and palin need to be lock up together in jail.

A consensus has been reached and this time the people are turning the page on the repubs.

Landslide Obama/Biden 08/12.

If the Republicans would not playing like little children and act grown up then this will be a good campaign.

Now lets see and talk dirty.

1) Sarah Palin has no room to talk about nobody because she is running away from a jail probe – Trooper Gate.
2) John Mccain is no maverick and if Sarah Palin had any sense she would not let the Republican make her out of a witch.
3) John Mccain is a pathetic old man that can't run for office unless he tear someone down.
4) People if this is the type of race you want then believe in McCain but what if the table is turned on him with Palin and the witch doctor and all of his dirty tactics in the past.
5) I want vote for a negative campaign because they have noting positive to offer.

Get a life McCain/Palin.

Nothing is more risky and dangerous to your campaign than slinging this dung when the American people need answers about what you plan to do to solve this country's problems.

That is why Obama will win.

They are trying to change the new cycle from the real issues.
its easy to do that when all is well,when people are hurting they dont want to hear that crap.

Wrong, but thanks for trying. Obama in a landslide, because Bob Dole... I mean Mccain is frankly unelectable and slinging mud stopped being a game changer 10 years ago

Bankrupt of ideas, the Repubs use another discordant singer to render the same old tune. Keep going Sarah, the Democrats need you too baecause you are our court jester! Like a blown up baloon, when the air is let out you will spin wildly until you fizzle out.

They have nothing else to run on. They can't talk about issue #1.....The Economy. What are they so afraid of? I guess talking about the issues is not part of their agenda.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

I think we've seen this tactic before: When nothing else works, start slinging mud. It's a sign that campaign is in real trouble and, quite frankly, really pathetic.

8 years of a Republican in the WH, a president McCain has sided with 90% of the time has left us in financial ruin, a 2 fronted war, hated by the world, and sinking faster. So is it any wonder McCain has decided to turn up the fear factor on his dirty & dishonorable campaign?

No. For the last 2 elections, fear and hatred worked for the GOP...it is the only weapon they reach for in their depleted aresenal because they have NO ANSWERS, and are terrified of the ISSUES.

We're not going to be fooled again.

Early Voted for Obama. Today is the last day of voter registration in OHIO folks.....GET OUT THE VOTE

McCain – GOP racial fear mongering at its finest. McCain has sunken so low this campaign.

John McCain, I want my contribution back! I am disgusted that money I gave you is helping to dishonestly slime another senator. You should be ashamed. I am beginning to call friends and family to let them know how gross you have become, and they'll know I mean it because I used to argue for your candidacy.

No one cares about these things. Spare us the fake outrage rethugs. Real people care about the economy, not religion.

Keep giving Tina Fey more job security governor. On November 5th you will still be a big joke!

TO ALL KIDS:

1. If you can't win because you are better than the other guy, make everyone hate the other guy.
2. If you can't get anyone to hate the other guy, make up lies.

What could be riskier than a candidate, McCain, who had openly advocated s shooting confrontation with Russia over Georgia?

McCain needs to understand this is a very different world than the one that existed 30 years ago. If you wish to live in a civilized world, then have a civilized foreign policy.

MCCAIN – PALIN- BUSH ALL SEAPARATED AT BIRTH!

AMERICA IS NOT DRINKING THE KOOL-AID ANYMORE!

How is John McCain's relationship with Charles Keating related to today's economic crisis???

When the savings and loan industry collapsed, Keating's failed company put taxpayers on the hook for $3.4 billion and more than 20,000 Americans lost their savings. John McCain was reprimanded by the bipartisan Senate Ethics Committee, but the ultimate cost of the crisis to American taxpayers reached more than $120 billion.

The Keating scandal is eerily similar to today's credit crisis, where a lack of regulation and cozy relationships between the financial industry and Congress has allowed banks to make risky loans and profit by bending the rules. And in both cases, John McCain's judgment and values have placed him on the wrong side of history.

When all is lost, we tear others down to gain attention. disgusting, pitiful, really pitiful. McCain and Palin are disgrace to Christian values! If this is true Christianity they claim to represent in the name of 'Christian conservatism', then Christianity has failed once again. Lies, more lies, and more lies in the name of God. McCain and would have won this election if only their actions reflected those Christian virtues they claim to represent. As a Christian, I am disgusted and it is an insult for either Palin or McCain to appeal to Chrisitan conservatives. These are worse than heathens! Palin lies! McCain you have sold out big time!

Enough is enough, John McCain and Sarah Palin have lost my vote.....

And there two issues that McCain will go down in November for.

1.) The economy
2.) The war

Two real issues!

Mr McCain we know you are the Risky deregulator guy...so now way, no how, no McCain-Palin

Palin you don’t want to go there!!!! What about your witch dr!!!! Wolf/Moose killer!!!! what woman in her right mind would sat there holding a bloodied poor moose with her child right there!!! You are shameful and not fit to be our VP a heartbeat away from a 72 year old president!!!! Who is also shameful K-5 remember that so just bring it on dummies!!!!!!! Oh and how about letting old dude testify on Trooper Gate?

Sara's lie about Ayers is no match for Sara Palin's pastor's sermon about Alaska being a refuge in the last days, Her husband wanting to suceed from America and witch hunting. This woman is far more scarier than Ayers. And besides, when I go to fill my
gas tank up at $4.00 a gallon, Ayers is not standing at the pump,
but the Republican ghost is. They are the one's we should fear.
Palin is anti-woman, bans books, no foreign policy credentials, and
a threat to our national security. Sara "Harry Potter" Palin is what can REALLY hurt Americans and for this we should be fearful. Palin should
be sued for slander. She is the one who is risky, for we know nothing
about her.

WHAT ELSE CAN MCCAIN AND PALIN DO? THEY HAVE NO RECORDS TO RUN ON, HAVE PROVEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN THAT THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING, AND MCCAIN HAS INSULTED AMERICANS WITH HIS PICK OF PALIN IN THE LAME ATTEMPT TO TRY AND STEAL VOTES.

MCCAIN'S PLAN HAS BLWON UP IN HIS FACE, SO FOR THE NEXT FOUR WEEKS HE AND PALIN WILL DO NOTHING BUT LIE, ATTACK AND ACCUSE BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOTHING ELSE.

SEND MCCAIN BACK TO WHINING IN THE SENATE AND LET'S GIVE PALIN A ONE-WAY TICKET BACK TO MOOSE COUNTRY.

sarah palin is killing her career. they tried that before. it did not work. let me tell you repugs. the more the repbublicans attacking obama's characteres, they more likely to loose in november.

Our economy is in peril and these idiots are pushing issues like these????? America needs to vote with their BRAINS for once.
Obama/Biden08

McCain = Keating 5 and no ability to help the economy

Please – Rev Wright has been explained time and time again. There is nothing wrong with Michelle Obama. A down to earth woman raising two beautiful daughters. On the other hand as the country is crashing and burning there is Cindy McCain draped in jewelry and different hairdoos and wearing very ritzy outfits. Please...McSame is not in touch with America and Palin is a scary twit who uses winks and cutsy smiles to speak to the American people.

Boris and Natasha need to get a grip! LOL All I have to do is see that arrogant smirk on Boris (McCain) face and that nails on blackboard voice and that "could eat her young" smile on Natasha's while picturing her saying "you betcha" to Putin and the like and I have nightmares that border 9/11 anxiety.

and the erratic behavior of john mccain is not risky? lol! republicans are toast after destroying our country and treasure.

God help this country if that is what the GOPs strategy is!! I guess the voters will decide on the 4th of November......good luck to y'all

Gone,

When all is said and done and McCain wins this country is going down. We will be face with a disaster of large porportion with our economy problem. No way that McCain will be able to fix the economy problem when he feels we should stay Iraq until we win. Welcome to the military draft and the very long lines of starving americans hoping to get food stamps to feed their children because they all lost their money.

OBAMA is a sleeper cel no doubt about it. His ties to Isllam go way back.. He is a Radicial CEL they have been planning this for years and nobody but fox and sometime CNN will cover it.

When the savings and loan industry collapsed, Keating's failed company put taxpayers on the hook for $3.4 billion and more than 20,000 Americans lost their savings. John McCain was reprimanded by the bipartisan Senate Ethics Committee, but the ultimate cost of the crisis to American taxpayers reached more than $120 billion.

The Keating scandal is eerily similar to today's credit crisis, where a lack of regulation and cozy relationships between the financial industry and Congress has allowed banks to make risky loans and profit by bending the rules. And in both cases, John McCain's judgment and values have placed him on the wrong side of history.

It is the Republican's policies of the last 8 years that has been risky. John McCain is more of the same.

Run, run, hide, hide, distract here... Look Haley's Comet over there....

McCain and Palin are running from the American Public and they both are a farce.

Do you really want the disoriented McCain as President? Years in a POW camp is bound to leave a few screws loose. Remember the movie Manchurian Candidate. Has he published any medical or psychological records?

Know-nothing Palin isn't much better. Her last interview was a joke! Her debate was just a litany of memorized talking points that she regurgitated even if they didn’t answer the question.

America wake up.

GONE, Sorry but just like McCain and Palin you have it WRONG!

Republicans are the scum of the earth.. this is so pitiful

It s time for real change. Change that will bring prosperity and peace to our nation. We need the Democrats in the White House. As a nation, we are sick and tired of the GOP 's failed policies that benefit just a few and forget about most of us.

The GOP will say anything, they now they have lost the respect of millions who are now facing foreclosure, who are worried about medical bills, college tuition, retirement, and who simply can no longer trust a party that simply benefits the wealthy.

Our economy, our safety and prosperity depend on people who truly care about all people.

Yes we will!

Obama – Biden 08

This is why McCain/Palin is losing the race because everything they say is not true. They have no proof.

All of this stuff is old news. Thanks to the Clintons, people heard about this months and months ago. People have made up their minds, whether they're comfortable or not with Barack Obama. The majority of the people see this kind of junk for what it is. It's all a fog screen. Where are the issues? Where is the substance? Why don't they want you focusing on what truly matters?

Risky? DANGEROUS? Why, that's the PERFECT description for McCAIN and PALIN!!!!!

Sarah Palin is still a JOKE! Its really sad to see her allow her self to be used like that.

Does she understand that she is committing Political Suicide. After the election no one will want her on their team.

And the world will not trust her!!

Oh, give me a break! Old news is not going to work this time! We've heard enough of the "No Straight Talk Express". And, by the way, if I read correctly this morning that Sarah Palin said yesterday that "there's a special place in hell for women who won't help (i.e., vote) for other women", then she's sunk oh-so-very-low and has become despicable, not to mention self-defeating as well. I've heard enough!

ugly
nasty
mean-spirited
ignorant

we can do better than McCain/Palin

You liberals who worship Obama can't seem to be able to tell lies from the truth. Your party (Democrats) caused this fiscal crisis and your candidate stands for nothing but himself.

mccain = misery and palin = pathetic

Sick...
SO THIS IS HOW YOU WILL WIN THE PRESIDENCY AS A TIME WHEN OUR COUNTRY IS IN TURMOIL!!!!

Dow is below 10,000!!!!

Risky? Dangerous? Sounds like McCain. He added a potential V.P. to his ticket without having her properly vetted, and she has turned out to be unknowledgeable, opinionated, and has an unsavory record in office. I guess "risky...dangerous" applies to Palin, too.

Gone, don't be too sure! You just might end up eating those words.

John McCain chose a "COUNTRY FIRST" motto, and then
selects a totally unqualified woman to be possible president of the
country. This woman is a threat to our national security. How is SHE going to protect us? The foreign enemy will know that we are a weak target if Sara Palin is ever allowed to command. John McCain may even be captured AGAIN while he is asleep in the White House. His "judgement" after all allowed him to crash five planes and get captured. We Had better think twice before helping unqualified Sara Palin the republican party fool this country again. WE THE PEOPLE are the country.

I am more AFRAID of the scary hockey mom,joe six-pack,wolf killing,crazy nut and her warmongering Old man running mate.

Who is surprised by Swiftboat tactics from the Reps. It is just what they are about. If people fall for this BS after two past elections and the consequences we are still paying for and will continue to pay for a long time, I will be GREATLY surprised!

Hit um with all you've got, Obama! These people don't have any pride or conscience. They just want to win. And if they do, we ALL lose!

Wont work Keating 5. LiarPalin witch craft and prob case.

They need to hit the ground running the Market is Crashing and they are focussing on the man's personal life. We need to get real people. My 401k is gone and I am mad with the current politics as usual. McCain and Sarah are a joke and I renounce you right now. No one in my family will accept this......

Let me see if I got this right – Sarah Palin and John McCain are warning that the OTHER GUYS are "risky and dangerous???"
Give me a break!

First there was the Georgia drama and photo op.

Second there was the Gustav drama and photo op.

Third there was the fly-in to D.C. to accomplish absolutely nothing but screw up the negotiations.

The only two things McCrypt is consistent on:

We have all seen McCrypt’s Superman suit and it shows his man breasts, his comb over overcombed his Depends pantyline and his limp cape!

McCrypt tells the Poor Old Warrior story for the 4,157,819th time.

Pretty sad when the campaign can be summed up in two lines!

Swiftboat Sarah is a Rove disciple and Bush look alike. No surprises here.

MCCAIN CAMP PATHETIC
DESPERATION SAD SAD SAD!!

When all is said and done, Obama is going down in November because of two issues that won’t go away:

1. Jeremiah Wright
2. Michelle Obama

There’s not much else voters REALLY know about Obama – but these two will stick!
