It did not work with Hilary and it will not work now. The American people are smarter than this. If he was so concerned about the American people, why did he not bring these issues up before? Why wait until you are on your last political leg to start with the sleaze? I have lost all respect for John McCain and I hope he gets voted out when he goes back to the Senate. His political career is over. The more McCain's campaign try to swiftboat Obama, the more his poll numbers will go up. It did not work with Hilary and it will not work now.

You guys should seriously consider changing your slogan to the Low Road Express. You're bringing up stuff that everyone had already learned and thought about during the primaries. Old news, old man! It didn't work for the Clintons and it certainly will not work for you guys! Where's the substance? Where are the issues? Why are you guys trying to create a distraction? Everyone knows what you guys are doing, everyone knows that you guys don't have a chance to win this thing by sticking to the issues. Nobody with an IQ higher than 70 cares about what some former radical did 40 years ago. But then again, nobody with an IQ higher than 70 would still seriously even be considering voting for you clowns. John McCain should have just given up last time around. Everyone would still believe that he was an honorable guy, but come November 5th, he'll just be known as a grumpy, bumbling old man that was just too out of touch and too cynical! Hopefully the country will never have to hear from John McCain or Caribou Barbie again. I just have to say how disappointed I am in this pathetic campaign.

Obama came on the scene, still to this day, I do not believe Sen. Barry (Barack Obama) is telling us the truth, but I believe he is good at hiding it. It is sad to see someone who has come this far, has to denounce the very people he has known for many years to get a position. I guess my question now, is "What is truly in store for America"? Too bad we can't see past today. I have been asking this same question ever since Sen. Obama came on the scene, still to this day, I do not believe Sen.

Don't give me wishy washy answers that don't tell us anything to do with what you actually plan to do.

We are intelligent human beings and can research the information for ourselves in order to make the best decision on our own.

But, being the glib politician he is, he will try to slide away from the truth. You will never get a straight answer out of him. If he is elected and the Senate gets a majority of 60, can you imagine what kind of laws will be inacted? What about Supreme Court justices he will appoint? Jesse Jackson? Al Sharpton?
