Obama is lying - about Ayers - About Wright - about his tax plan - aout his health care plan - about his Iraq plans. His whole campaign is flawed —-On Ayers he said he barely knew him —- Obama endorsed Ayers Book - held political meeting with Ayers- and Ayers was hosted by Michelle Obama and Barck at the college where Michelle worked — He is just flat out lying. He lied to us about Wright. His positions on Iraq change with the wind and he is now following McCain's lead — He cannot follow thoughon his tax and health care plans and is lying to voters as he knows the US cannot afford them.

Obama seems to have quite a bit of questionable baggage. It seems that he's mixed up with a bunch of people with sticky backgrounds yet when the dirt comes out he knows nothing. The Talaban will go to any measure to destroy America. I just don't trust Obama.

McCain /Palin flamigo road all over again.. what a waste (joe six pk) lol.

cnn you are apparently run by a computer that has no human feelings so it kicks out anything that has substance but prints the bs is that the way it goes.

HYPOCRITE!

ANGRY!

BITTER!

ARROGANT!

ERRATIC!

PATHETIC OLD MAN WITH NO ANSWERS, NO SOLUTIONS, NO IDEAS AND NO PLAN.

SEND MCCAIN BACK TO WHINE IN TEH SEANTE ADN LET'S GIVE PALIN A ONE-WAY TICKET BACK TO MOOSE COUNTRY!

McCain is pathetic. I can't imagine him ever having the support of the american people after the campaign he has run.

OBAMA '08

Although I have always supported the Democratic nominee, I had a lot of respect for Senator McCain. The operative word here is HAD. I can't believe how much he has changed and I can't help but notice that the change in his attitude coincides with the the arrival of Sarah Palin. I was appalled at the way she speaks about Barack Obama. Not because he is her opponent but because he is fellow American. How dare she come onto the scene, virtually unknown to a great percentage of the American people, and put down others the way she does. She is an insult to hockey moms and pit bulls.

Scary Pallin's son went into the military, not because he wanted to serve his country, but rather because he was given a choice by a judge….either go into the military or go to prison on drug trafficking charges!

Desperate people do desperate things! Unfortunately, we all become victims of the desperation.

This is another reason not to vote for McCain nor Obama.

They're attacking each other on points that they are most similar. The only true difference is between McBama and Bob Barr. Only Barr is talking about reducing the size of government. No more bailouts…

McBush "7 homes, 13 cars, and 3 spouces".

Obama "one house, one car, one spouce, and one nation!"

You decide!!!

If we have to listen to this crap for another 28 days I believe the American public will revolt by giving Obama a landslide. I sure hope so!!!!

The McCain machine is inept and very unpatriotic. Vote for them if you wish to see this once great country continue its slide into the toilet bowl!

All this smearing won't get my job or my house back. Come on McCain, get a clue. The Republican Party has become a joke.

The McCain camp is now inciting people to scream "Kill Him", and Terrorist" when talking about Obama.

This is the evil to which Palin/McCain is now sinking.

This is how they would govern. That a fanatical religious facist nutjob like Palin could even get this far bodes very bad for America.

I wish they would both just talk about issues. But that would be a one sided debate - McCain can't talk about issues. All he ever does is attack.

With the debate coming up tonight, I hope Obama turns to McCain and says, "You can attack me all you want but I'll not waste another minute of the American voter. I'm here tonight to tell them exactly how I intend to fix this broken country."

McBush is so desparate, he bought the complete Rove playbook.
Obama will reign!

Why are 99% of the posters against McCain?

The Repugnicans don't know what to do when a Democrat stands up to them and their evil empire.

Another example of a desperate Republican campaign going back on his words that he said 8 years ago. McCain doesn't know how to regain ground so he has put out the dirtiest slimiest attacks yet which does not make a person want to vote for them. Its tired, shameful politics and what we need are more ads like Obama talking directly to the people. We do not need to be in Iraq or Afghanistan any longer as it is showing that Osama did indeed hurt America much more than the lives that died on Sept. 11 and hit the financial district in the long run. Bush and McCain would go the same route and seek war rather then worry about the long term effects of wars. We cannot afford the same old, tired, Republican politics.

These comments are so nasty. It doesn't sound like the Americans we admire.

cnn why will you not print my comments?

Is McCain really that desparate? He should be!

I Can not wait until Nov. 5

who is running for presdient, McCain or Palin? She speaks while he looks . Palin is a pawn.

Once again, I'm amazed that McCain campaign would want to draw attention to Factcheck.org, where all of their lies are exposed — including Sarah Palin's current line of attack on Obama. It boggles the mind. It's just bad strategy. Or is that "bad tactics"…

Take a good look people.

McCain is an angry, bitter, self-absorebd, VINDICTIVE old man.

How he and Palin could call anyone else a liar is laughable.

After tonight McCain will be toast.

Very effective way for the Obama campaign to push back hard against John McCain and his deceit….About time!! Stick to the economy; keep runnning the clip of McCain saying the fundamentals of the economy is strong and contrast that to a crumbling Wall Street and lost jobs.

I think the Mccain is getting a desperation disorder

Changing the topic to personal attacks will not change the outcome, at least that late in the process. Obama's 5-8% lead may or may not be cut a couple points, but not by enough to win for McCain. Additionally, McCain's increasingly negative and desperate attempts at smear might turn off independent voters and actually cause a point or two % gain for Obama.

Who is John McCain,does he know himself. Maybe he forgot like he always do. Go home John McCain and plant a garden or something,you're loosing your memory.Lately you've bocome desperate,trying anything to get ELECTED!!

I think that they both need to stop saying what is wrong with the other, and tell us what is right about themselves and their plan. I do believe that Obama has tried to stay on that path, but McCain continues to "badmouth" him, causing Obama to strike back.

In my opinion, Obama/Biden is the right choice.

Barack Obama For Radical Change '08

OK OBAMA AND MCCAIN:

It took me a long time to decide to vote for Obama. I was going to write in Hillary on Oregon's November ballot.

Our ballots will be in the mail to our homes in a few days.

Here is what you two will get from me IF YOU DON'T STOP THE NEGATIVE CAMPAIGNING:

N-O-T-H-I-N-G !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will NOT VOTE at all if these nasty ads continue! And I really mean it!

I know it's kind of like their last breath, but McCain's campaign needs to really stop these ads. It might be just me, but it really makes him more and more like a whining 3 year old each time when they don't get their way. I know Obama's released negative ads in rebuttal, but at least he's taking more time on the issues. Almost half expecting McCain to call him a "poopy head" next.

MC CAIN AND PALIN LIES HAVE NO BOUNDRIES..YOU WOULD THINK THE COUNTRY IS FED UP WITH THE LIES REPUBLICANS WILL TELL JUST TO BE ELECTED TO START A WAR IN IRAQ AND TELL AMERICANS WITH A STRAIGHT FACE THAT THE ECONOMY IS SOUND

If we're looking for a measure of the character of these two men, read their respective books. McCain's is all about himself and his father and grandfather, Obama's is about everyone and everything. Obama's the one who comes across as caring about others, not about his reputation.

Ok, now, can we get onto the issues?

I noticed a Washington Post article that reports that Palin supporters yelled racist comments at minority attendees at a rally yesterday. I'd advise readers to check this article out, and I believe CNN would find it quite newsworthy.

Eventually either a campaign staff member, McPalin or rally supporter will call Senator Obama what they really want to call him, and the media will have license to eat it up by 24/7 repeating it. UnStable/UnAble supported and promoted by the McShame's B-B-Que MSM.

This is where I stop watching the campaigns. McCain has gone to such a dark place, he said he would not go dark and look where he is, then he turnes it on Obama, give me a break. It truely saddens me to see a war hero, good politician reduced to an angry, ranting hypocrytical old man. McCain has lied more than Obama, but Obama is not clean either. The title of the new McCain ad fits what it is about. Hypocrytical much John!!!! Obama is rubbing around with terrorists? You are quoting his air raid comments completely in context right John? Considering what George did to you in 2000 I thought a man of "honor" would have some. You make me sick. Atleast Obamas attack ad addresses the economy as an issue.

It is amazing how the McCain team is quick to jump on any misleading news item on Obama only to have themselves trying to expalin later that the story originally was not theirs. I guess when a team gets desperate that is what they resort to.

Obama,
What are you doing? Stick with the issues!!! You are better than this. You dont eat with crows… Soar with eagles like we are used to.

The problem with Mccain/palin is that they attack but FACTCHECK.COM and other reliable sources always dispute their claims. If you are going to bring allegations, you better make sure the allegations can be proven. People will believe what they want to believe regardless if it truthfull or false. I hope that Obama continues to address the issues that is of importance to AMERICA!!!

Obama/Biden 08

McCain/Palin…. have totally lost it!

John McCain is selling his soul for one last shot at the White House. It's a sad, sad ending to the career of a once-great man.

It's the economy stupid! God I'm so sick of this, stop playing preschool antics making fun of the other guy, start giving us YOUR solutions, my god this is pathetic, his campaign are like bullies, GROW UP!!!

Whatever. I'm voting early next week along with millions across the nation. WIthout fraud, McCain has no chance. GO AHEAD Johnny. Give it your best shot — without guns that is.

Obama is the only one hiding behind a curtain that the main stream media put up for him….God help this country if he is elected!!!!!

john mccain is an awful racist power-hungry opportunistic old egomaniac.
i am disgusted by how much he has degraded himself throughout this campaign.
my vote goes to Obama/Biden.

They call each other liars. The difference? Obama continues to run a generally honorable campaign. His attacks are usually based on fact. McCain, on the other hand, will say anything, regardless of facts or common decency. If there was any doubt left, he is showing that he is unfit to be president. We've had eight years of lying and deceit from the GOP. Enough already!

I would have to go with: "Pot calling kettle black."

Mcain is the biggest hypocrit I have ever came across. his allegations of Obama have already been proven false. He has alot of nerve to say that Obama does not have a plan for this economy when Obama already explained his plan but I haven't heard not one word about what Mcain plans to do to help this country get back on it's feet. And in no way as to what Ayers did when Barack was a child really has no relevance today. Barack was only in grade school at the time when Ayers was protesting the viet nam war which none of our american soldiers should of been there in first place.

GO OBAMA!!! YOU ARE THE DUDE.

McCain has nothing to offer the American people, so he lies to distract people. Even the devil himself, Karl Rove has said that McCain has gone too far with 100% lies in his ads. He doesn't want to talk about our failing economy, so lets just lie. The Ayers lie is so bad, I can't believe Dumb and Dumber can look the American people and try and tell us that Obama was involved with this man when he bombing gov building - OBAMA WAS 8 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME - STUPID!

William F Buckley must be spinning in his grave. The Republican party is falling apart at the seams, as common sense conservatives find it virtually impossible to accept McCain's VP choice. November 4th will signal the end of the conservative era. The unholy alliance between the GOP and religious extremists has forced moderates into the democratic party, and will result in not only a landslide Obama / Biden victory, but Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress. The nightmare is nearly over.

I'm sick of the media treating on negative ad the same the opponent's negative ad. Tony Rezko doesn't cancel out Charles Keating. Charles Keating swindle people of their life savings and was in business with McCain's main source of income, his wife and his father-in-law. Balanced coverage doesn't mean everything one side does is done in equal degree.

McShame on you.

In the days of crumbling Wall Street and our economy one thing YOU said stands out and that was that you weren't real strong on the economy. Remember that?

Just like Jack Webb said in Dragnet, we want ""Just the facts, ma'am(sir)"

Lying isn't saving retirement plans or investments. Lying isn't saving homes. Lying isn't decreasing the cost of food, gas, insurance, home mortgages and education. Lying isn't increasing the stock market and saving banks. Enough is enough.

NO MATTER WHO WINS, THOSE WHO SLIME ANOTHER CAN NEVER BE CLEAN AGAIN. EVERYONE LOSES.

Can you smell the fear coming out of the McCain camp? It's like watching a football game where the favored home team is down by 21 with 5 minutes to play and they are just in shock. Can it really be happening? The Republicans are in danger of losing the White House? I love the way everyone on the right has gone from being smug to being angry and defensive. All they can do at this point is call us names and tell us that we will still lose this election somehow. Better hurry up with that October surprise I keep reading about.

This is true. His own campaign said that if they keep talking about the economy, they will lose!!!! That's because McCain doesn't have a clue and not that the idiot stated he would cut Medicare, he definitely wants to change the subject!!
Oh, one more thing…CNN, You have the link to McLoser's add, where the heck id the link to Obama's add?? If you are not going to put both candidates links on your ticker, then don't put any of them. Stop giving McNasty free advertisement.

MCain has gone too far. He and Palin are digging their own grave. Who is advising these two morons, it has become clear that McCain and Scary Palin have no substance or any game plan to help America with the economy, taxes or the war.

The McCain ads are a distraction from the fact that he has no idea of the current issues facing the American people. Tonight all eyes will be on McCain, he needs to communicate what he is going to do as POTUS.

Disgusted with the Republican in Georgia.

This from ABC News:

"Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric's questions for her 'less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media.' At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the press area, waving thunder sticks and shouting abuse. Others hurled obscenities at a camera crew. One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, 'Sit down, boy.' "
(Another crowd member, upon mention of Obama's ties to Bill Ayers: "Kill him!")

Sick Sick Sick.

McCain and Palin should be ashamed of themselves. They are loading a gun that some idiot wacko is going to use. Freedom of speech ends when it incites violence. These two need to be removed from the public eye.

How much more juvenile is this going to get? Is it November 4th yet?

McCain & Palin are the worst jokes that I'm not finding FUNNY.

WOW, McShameful Loser ought to just turn tail and run back to Arizona
and send McMoose Bushkiller back to alaska.Even Karl Rove CAN'T believe the 2 McShamefuls can win NOW. For once, they can't STEAL another election, WE'RE NOT GONNA LET, DOG GONE IT!!!

This is true. His own campaign said that if they keep talking about the economy, they will lose!!!! That's becasue McCain doesn't have a clue and not that the idiot stated he would cut Medicare, he definitely wants to change the subject!!

Oh, one more thing…CNN, You have the link to McLoser's add, where the hech id the link to Obama's add?? If you are not going to put bith candidates links on your ticker, then don't put any of them. Stop giving McNasty free advertisement.

McCain will say and do anything to take the economy out of the peoples view. He is the same as Bush…has no answers!

John McCain has been open and honest about the Keating matter, and even the Democratic special counsel in charge recommended that Senator McCain be completely exonerated. By contrast, Barack Obama has been fundamentally dishonest about his friendship and work with the unrepentant terrorist William Ayers, whose radical group bombed the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol. Nor has Barack Obama come clean on his close friendship with Tony Rezko, a felon convicted on bribery charges who subsidized the purchase of Barack Obama’s home. It's obvious that Barack Obama is frantically attacking because he knows that most voters find these kinds of friendships, and the failed judgment they expose, to be unacceptable for our next president

I think they both need to stop. This is why politicians have a bad name…we are always being told our candidates are liers and crooks!
Both Candidates said this was going to be a "nice" campaign that stuck to the issues. So I gues they both lie!!!
Senator McCain and Senator Obama please stick to the issues and what you will do to help us. My wellbeing depends on what you will do to turn the economy around.
Stop the mud slinging, this does not do our Country any good!

I carefully check the candidates' statements.

While Obama has made claims that have been distorted, only the McCain campaign has outright and consistently lied.

His campaign the last two weeks has been based on one outright lie after another.

Doesn't he thimk we pay attention?

It's funny how when one campaign goes negative, both are seen as doing so. When Obama makes an ad, he talks about issues, economy, and the last three that aided in dc talked about his plans in detail. John McCain's ads talk about Obama's character.

I am glad Obama ran this ad with that comment about making people forget about the economy. I found a quote from John McCain when he became the presumptive nominee this spring, where he promised he would run a clean campaign. He forgot to mention that was unless he was losing.

He has become a pathetic man and clearly we gave him too much credit for being an honest and self respecting human being all these years.

Here is some straight talk: "Go Away".

Hey JMac…you need a tissue?

Who is Barack Obama? I'll tell you…He is the next president of the united States Of America. So, step off McSame. You're out of there loser!

Hey Mccain! . . . Lets Talk About The Economy!

With 2 wars FAR FROM being won, the economy getting worse from day to day, the Dow Jones below 10,000 and voters worried about keeping their jobs with the added prospect of losing their health insurance coverage, the decision of McCLOWN and his CLUELESS Vice President to attack Obama is the clear sign that these two FAKE "mavericks":

(1) Follow OLD Washington politics,
(2) Have nothing CONSTRUCTIVE to offer and
(3) Are in full PANIC MODE.

It is no wonder that Obama is increasing his lead: voters are sick and tired of KARL ROVE's style smear tactics.

By doing so McCLOWN's looks more and more like a CARBON COPY of G.W.BUSH.

YUCK!!!!!

John McCain is more and more like a chihuahua every day:

LOUD

NASTY

INEFFECTUAL

Obama running an ad again with no substance and facts, just like his whole campaign. Didn't he say a few months ago he wouldn't resort to "same old" politics and bash other candidates? Also, he keeps saying he's going to "change" the economy, and "change" this, and "change that". Change only works when it is for the better.

McCain's down by another point today on Gallup.

Keep up the negatives McShame and your 'lil doggie. It's helping Obama!!

If you like Hillary, vote Democrat - she'll never get a Presidential Appointment in a Republican Administration

LOL…McCain calling someone a lier? thats rich.

McCain should be the last person to call someone a liar. He has been playing fast and loose with the truth for some time.

McCain ads = Lies not based on facts
Obama ads = Facts, supported by facts

Why is it that to see a McCain ad you have to go to YouTube? No one at JohnMcSame.com can embed a video? That little skill takes like 20 seconds to learn….how are they gonna solve a crisis like this economy if they can't even host their own ads on their own website? Oh yeah, they'll just do what a maverick would do. Sorry, I forgot their solution to everything.

John McCain is just proving to me that HE is unfit to serve as my president. His actions, starting with his pick of Sarah Palin as his running mate, to his last ditch efforts to smear Barack Obama name; is proof that John McCain does not use good judgement under pressure.

mccain is saying that obama is lying about economic crisis because he keeps on talking about it. but just because he talk about it alot do not mean that he is lyin he is just trying to prove his point to america.IN the debate mccain will try to step his game up since his vice president lost in the vice president debate.I hope obama wins.

HEY OBAMA SUPPORTERS,

MC CAIN IS GOING TO INTRODUCE THE REAL OBAMA TO YOU TONIGHT. WHO IS OBAMA? WHERE DOES HE COME FROM? WHO ARE HIS TEACHERS? WHAT ARE HIS TRUE BELIEFS? HOW CAN YOU TRUST THIS MAN TO RUN THIS COUNTRY?

HAVE ANY OF THE OBAMA SUPPORTERS TRUELY ANSWERED THESE QUESTIONS. IF SO YOU WOULD NOT BE VOTING FOR OBAMA.

SO WAKE UP BEFORE ITS TO LATE!!!!!!!!!!!

"If we keep talking about the economic crisis, we're going t o lose" - McCain campaign.

Obama should take a leaf out of Palin's book. Nomatter what he's asked, ignore it and talk about the economic crisis.

Get real. Obama is too green to have ideas, except to be the ruler of the world. He wants to change our country to be like France: all bad!

palin is a racist for sure mccain is angry, old and grumpy and you want them to run our country

The individual McCain should be most angry with (and perhaps he is) is GEORGE BUSH, who used conniving tactics to help get nominated over McCain in 2000. If anyone remembers how McCain presented himself back then, he was friendlier, more sensible, less desperate, and less angry. Don't blame Obama/Biden for McCain developing these traits. McCain's downfall was initiated by George Bush. If you're a Republican I suggest you think whether you would have preferred to have had McCain as President for the past eight years rather than Bush.

As entertaining as the mudslinging and name calling can be, the real issue for most people right now is the economy and what are the candidates's ideas as to what to do about it. It would be nice if both sides respected the electorate enough to discuss the issues instead of trying to see who can come up the the sleaziest accusation to use against the other.

Tired of writing informative and serious posts on behalf of my candidate John McCain because CNN only post pro-Obama messages. I'll just say this, ask yourselves why you put your faith in a man of no record with his ambiguous calls for change. That said, continue to post your "yes we can" and "mcbush" messages.

I hope the American people recognize that the Republicans are just trying to distract us from the real issues. McCain can't win on ideas and policies, so he is just trying to manufacture doubts about the other side. Even Republican commentators on Hannity&Colmes last night all but admitted this, in my interpretation.

The truth is that Obama has never done anything serious enough to require government investigation. On the other hand, McCain admitted to impropriety, if not outright wrong-doing, in the Keating Five scandal that caused American tax-payers quite a bit of money during the Savings and Loan crisis. Palin is currently under bipartisan government investigation in to allegations of abuse of power.

I pray that America doesn't fall prey to thinly-veiled racism and jingoism.

Palin and McCain are pretty brave to throw stones when there are plenty of bricks that can be thrown right back. Good luck with that one.

Actually, John McCain is the liar. Obama is responding to his deceptive, inaccurate, and false ads. McCain is a pathological liar, an adulterer, and a false patriot. He gets up on stage and barks. His campaign premise "Country First" is a lie. Palin is a flake who barfs up what the RNC tells her to. She has zero crediblity and no independent ideas. Neither of them know what they're doing…no plans, ideas, visions for this country. All negative smears. Nothing positive. They will be soundly defeated on 11/04/08 and then they can both go away.

Newsflash - They're BOTH lying and taking things out of context, and apparently now quoting anonymous campaign workers.

In my opinion, neither one of these clowns are fit or ready to lead this country. Is these two seriously the best candidates we can come up with???

I am taking the day off to laugh at the GOP.

Finally the anti-gay, anti-family, anti-peace, anti-poor, anti-American nabobs of the right, and a special shout out to the arrogant we-are-the-only-true-Christians on the right wing, can all take a hike.

Watch as the legislation moves back to peace, as the Supreme Court turns back to fairness, as the country moves away from stagnation, and on to progress.

I'm putting on less scoop of sugar in my coffee today because life is getting sweeter already.

If I were McSame, I'd invest in some asbestos pants because he is such a liar, his drawers might burst into flames any moment…

I am so happy to see the Democrats finally punching back after 3 elections in a row where they did not. Good job Obama, they want to throw stones you throw bricks.

John McCain is so out of touch with the needs of real America he has no other choice but to go negative with his AD's. He has nothing with substance to talk about.
McCain and his pull string Barbie doll should have spoke of issues these past few months to let the American people know exactly what they planned on doing to help us. Things such as ECONOMY, college aid, health care, mortgage's, gas prices, heating costs, food bills.. OH WAIT a moment, I guess with 7 homes and 14 cars theses issues are not on the top of HIS priority list.

It's time for McCain to answer to the Keating 5 question!!!

It's time for McCain to explain how he qualified for flight school with his shoddy Academy record!!!

It's time for McCain to explain the choice of Sarah Palin!!!

The greatest liars in this campaign are McCain and Palin.

Thats why repubs are loosing.

Democrats have the majority in the house of reps and Obama can start implement right away new measures to help the economy.

McCain can't, thats as simple as that.

Obama / Biden 08

I don't think that anyone is surprised the race has come to this…negative, slanderous, and deceitful campaign ads. We knew it would happen around the end of September or beginng of October when one candidate started pulling away in the Polls. McCain is on the defensive, however, I do find it funny that he is sending Palin to do the dirty work. She has been stumping some negative stump the past few days and I must say I am already tired of it.

I am really ashamed with Palin especially when she brought racism into this campaign. This is what Palin said about Obama, he is "unAmerican" and is this because he a black man. We are in 2008 and I feel as though we are in the Jim Crow area. She sounded so childish when she was talking about Obama in front of her supporters. I also did not realize that when you are under investigation, people can refuse to corporation with the law. Mccain and Palin thinks that they are above the law. I respect the American Legal System and their behaviors are dangerous to the American people. The world hates the Americans. Mccain and Palin are a disgrace to the American people and to the entire country. PALIN, you are "unAmerican" and don't know how to communicate.

KEATING 5 AND TROOPERGATE INVESTIGATION SMELLS CORRUPTION IN THE WHITE HOUSE IF MCCAIN AND PALIN GETS ELECTED. BUSH IS A LIAR AND WHERE IS BIN LADEN WHO MASTERED MIND THE 9/11 ATTACK. WE ARE FIGHTING WARS YET WE ARE BROKE. MCCAIN WANTS MORE WARS BUT HOW ARE WE GOING TO PAY FOR IT? I THINK BY SELLING OUR SOULS TO THE DEVIL AGAIN. THE REPUB= GREED, CORRUPTION, AND IDIOTS!!!!

Sarah Palin came out of her debate with a false sense of confidence. Just because he didn't attack her, and couldn't because of the debate format, she seems to think she succeeded beautifully. Now she's stomping around telling us how "fearful" she is of Obama.

I'd be more afraid of her pushing to allow Alaska to secede from the Union, what with her husband being a member of the Alaska Independence Party and all.

This is DUMB and the Maverick should not be doing this type of ad since he said that there is no place for this type of politics in the election cycle.

Obama/Biden 08/12

Does McCain realize that Obama has enough money to run ads talking about the issues and to hit back at slanderous swiftboat ads? I'm guessing not, give the man doesn't realize there is no such thing as Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union, or the meaning of the words, "I'm going to take the high road in this campaign."

I think, in the final analysis it will be said that McCain "swiftboated" himself out of contention in this election.

It is good that Obama is fighting back. He also needs to keep ads going which highlight his common sense approach to solutions. People like his message, and solutions. We don’t like him doing too much name calling. Leave that to the Republicans. He can easily counter that with his message of hope. Which we have not heard much of lately. Obama needs to show us the guy we saw early on, who told us to believe in America and believe in ourselves. That is the message which proves his character in the end. Obama, stay above the fray. It is your strength.

Has anyone noticed the style of each candidates attack ads. McCain ads are images and statements that almost never have any endorsement for it's creditiablity.

Obama ads almost always have quotes that other people or institutions have said making them creditiable. For example, the erratic ad quotes a major newspaper; its not stated as coming from Obama or Biden.

he is such a joke

= = =
To Senator Barrack Obama:
It is time for you to take the gloves off. Along while ago I respected Senator Mr. McCain. No more. Your opponent Mr. McCain distorts facts or even simply lies. He is with out honor. He is twofaced, talks out of two side of his mouth and simply makes too many flip-flops. His mealy mouth running mate Governor Mrs. Sarah Palin only advertises with a shrill and grating voice her ignorance. Her strength lies in making fun of other people and spewing insulting jabs. She thinks she is successful and dynamic when her ill conceived sarcasm elicits laughs and chuckles in the audience.

To the credit of most Americans the republicans’ dishonest campaigning tactics have been recognized. The Americans deserve an honest Government that represents the people. Senator Barrack Obama, fight fair, fight hard. Call a Spade a Spade.

Take your gloves off. Do it now!

Obama is ahead; he doesn't need to lie….

LIES are all that McCain and Barbie have left… in their desperation

McCain, please stop humiliated our once great country more than you already have.

You and your VP pick are behaving like catty cheerleaders.

America, let's take back the flag!

`

McCain holds the title for the biggest lie of all, when he said Sara Palin was qualified to be Vice Maverick and therefore ready to be President, should the need arise.

That was a whopper.

`

in my opinion i do not believe mccain is the best choice. he definitely is not on point. why call obama a liar.l because of the simple fact that he wants to help the economy better. the childhood life should not have an impact on what's going on today. the subject is highly unbelievable. i say john mccain just set back, relax, and take a good clean lost like a true man…

I guess the Republican's are use to having hugh servings of their own Medicine shoved down their Lying throats. About time. They started the lies and misdirects, and Obama, tried to keep it civil as long as possible, but we are not taking John Kerry Swift Boat attacks laying down!

Obama is right…McCain NEVER gives ALL details about his plans…because he will do the same as all Republican party candidates have done…screw up this economy and put more Americans at risk, even education systems and have to use questionable practices to win an election…even Reagan used voter caging.

I'm tired of the lie and deceptions of the Republican party. As a once independent voter, I will never vote for a Republican again even if I have to vote for the donkey! I remember wage/price controls and voodoo economics…and they DO NOT WORK!

McCain has been so erratic that he is downright scary! He has made a joke and mockery of our elections and high offices.

I hope many more Missourians wise up and vote Obama.

We know who Obama is.
The problem is we know who McCain is too.
Experience means nothing when it is all negative experience.
You are whipping a dead horse McCain.
GOP=RIP
Yes we can. Yes we will.
Obama/Biden

give it up McCain…
you will never win. there are to many people itching for REVOLUTION!!

What's happening here? Is Senator John McCain at war with Senator Barrack Obama? It's enough! Enough of this outrage!!
Frankly my Opinion - Sr. McCain called Obama to this mudsligging. Obama choosed to fight back - it's human nature. Anyway, trust Americans, they will not by fooled by hypocracy…After the election, the world will decide if Americans are trully smart.
My advise - don't give in to fear! look out for the candidate who tries to use fear to bamboozle you to steal your vote. Remember fear is a result of ignorance.

McCain is out of ideas. If you like what the Republicans got us into, vote for him. If you don't, vote for Obama/Biden. It really comes down to that. How can McCain and Palin call themselves mavericks when they are just proposing the same old Republican policies that have been around for the last eight years?

McCain can talk character all he wants, but I have one very simple question for him. My single home investment value went down because my neighbor across the yard is foreclosing, my neighbor across the street file Chapter 11 on his small business. My 401K and small IRA are now worthless, my 6 months old son is oblivious of what’s going on but he’s inherited a debt. How has the current “economic crisis” affected him and his family personally?

No negative…everyone needs to tell us, the public,what they are going to do, and how…enough is enough.
Obama continue on the high road,,,do let McCain drag what has been a positive and informative campaign into the mud..which is what he is trying to do. Stray cool tonight and answer the questions with facts and programs..do not get into he said/she said mud..
McCain when are you going to live up to your promise that the campaign you would run would be positive…has not been since day on…you continue to say you suspneded your camapign and stopped ads yet her in Pa they were continuing to run…It is time for you to level with the voters..if you ahve no ideas tell us…stop the negative..be honest and forthright…that is what a "maverick" would do.

McCain wants the title ("Mr President") and will stop at nothing to win the ELECTION! (This man is not fit to be a world leader)
Such a pair of Repugnicans- McCain/Palin

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

McCain or especially "Lyin' Palin" are the absolute perfect text-book example of the famous analogy of the pot calling the kettle black.

What?!? Politicians telling lies??? I can't believe this is happening! Just kidding. I ask you, if they weren't all telling lies, then factcheck.com would be out of business. It would be more newsworthy if you caught a politician telling the truth.

Sad that you have to fact check every word that comes out of McUnhinged and Caribou's mouths…

"But as Americans lose their jobs, homes and savings, it’s time for a President who’ll change the economy. Not change the subject."

Amen!

No CNN truth squad says MISLEADING.

Tell us the names of the Senators that added the PORK to the bailout bill.

Another empty campaign promise from the GOP. Unable to deleiver

All you have to do is go to factcheck to know who is lying. McCain has displayed NOSHAME. The claim about Obama and Ayers is mind boggling. Especially when citizens are going to be working until we put them out to pasture.

The McShouldbeShame campaign has sunken to a new low. How in the world can he call anyone a liar, when him and his pitbull are lying to the American people everyday. He has no honor left! If he was so honorable how can he be this slimey now? He must have been this way before. Country first, he is not! He's all about himself. I haven't heard anything in the past week that has to do with the crisis the American people are facing. The McCain campaign is a disgrace!

I need a raincoat for all the BS McCain/Palin spew every time they open they're mouths.

When McCain gets criticized he thinks people are lying or out to get him. No McCain, it is the TRUTH.

However, McCain has begun to lie and he can not stop. He is way behind in the polls and it is the only thing he can do. It is sad to see how power can corrupt such a heroic war hero. Kings and wanna-be kings through out time and in all places have done the most terrible things to just grasp that power that seems so close or that appears to be slipping away.

Very sad McCain.

I am so angry……………………I watch the news I read a lot of newspapers and I am no way stupid. I watch both camps and I hear only garbage from one camp and ideas from the other. This is not going to change my mind except that no way will I believe any thing out of McCain and Palin's mouth. I always thought he was a very honest man. Do they really believe what they say?

McCain is a bitter, sickly, old fool. John McCain is a liar, who due to his age and failing health, would most likely not even see out a first term in office. The only person who world leaders would respect even less than McCain is Palin.

McCain is slipping in the polls……his credibility is slipping……and so is his sanity.

His ambition to be the POTUS……his life's dream……slipping through his fingers like the blowing breeze.

Such a shame………..or maybe NOT!!!!

Obama/Biden 2008

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP ME? Gas, Health care, Jobs, College, Housing. This is the question I want answers too. I don't care about, Keating 5 or Ayers. What can you do for the country now?
The facts and only the facts!

So basically from John Mill's statement McCain's ad about Obama lying is a lie itself??

McCain also leaves out that he promised to run a clean campaign on the issues.

How hypocritical McCain is!!!

Why now is the subject about lying is coming from McCain. He has told enough to keep up happy for years.

What a HYPOCRITE!!

McCain said he would not run a nasty and negative campaign!!!

Who's the liar Johnny boy?

When all is said and done, Obama goes down in November because of two issues that just won't go away.

1. Jeremiah Wright
2. Michelle Obama

Despite listening to him speak in tongues for 20 months, the American voter still doesn't know who Obama REALLY is — or what he REALLY stands for — but these two issues are clear to everyone — and they will stick!

McCain is NOT a leader….. He does NOT want to talk about the Economic Crisis. McCain is dividing our great country, McCain is ERRATIC. Look how UNSTABLE McCain is in a CRISIS…. McCain has truly lost his bearings.

John McCain sat on the board of a company run by a guy named Singlaub who worked with Right Wing Death Squads in Central America and was linked to Nazi sympathizers. The US Counci for World Freedom. They were invoved in the Iran Contra deal with Ronald (mommy my diaper is full) Reagan in the 80s. If true, OOOPs. I guess Obama and Ayers aren't the only ones with shady affiliations. Try that one on Fido. Since JM and his pet Fido have no ideas on what to do, it will be attack. They'd better be ready to get it back as much as they as they dish it….

When opinons are expressed about McCain they don't publish everything tht tells the truth about McCain. CNN why ask our opion if you don't. want to publish our opinon. That is a waste of our time to sit here give our opinon for publish.

At least CNN factcheck is calling them on it.

As I write this, I am listeng to two attorneys outside my office, and one, a conservative, is gleeful that Obama will get in because the spate of anti-business legislation that will issue forth will be a bonanza for lawyers.

Its the MOST wonderful time of the year

Stay on him Barack! I love how you respond right away. You need to start on Sarah Palin's lies and avoidance of the law as well.

I approve of Obama's ad because it states the truth. McCain is trying to change the subject.

Bush = Rove = McCain

That is the connection. No way, no how, no McCain, no Palin.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

It's only been 3 days of negative campaigning and I'm totally turned off from it.

McCain has traded in all of his past honor and reputation for these dirty tricks. I cannot believe this is the man I respected in 2000. His "Country First" theme has become a joke at my workplace. I'm so disappointed in him.

Who will be the bigger man and stop the negativity and concentrate on the issues at hand. As we are in these troubling times all the campaigns can do is attack each other with negativity. Why not just point out the differences between each of your proposals and let the citizens of the United States of America make the choice instead of making it so much about the wrong things that it's starting to feel like we are deciding which one of the candidates will do the least damage. Looking forward to the debate tonight to see if one of them will step up to the plate for the people not just themselves.

McCain wanted to smear Obama? Well he has something else coming! Just because Obama is the TRUE EPITOME of change DOES NOT mean Obama has to seat back and see his name and his character and integrity drowned in the mud. He is standing up for himself and SIMPLY showing McCain and the RIGHT WING that SWIFT BOAT STYLE attacks will NOT have room and American Citizens deserve FAR MORE than that!! Like Sen Obama said: Sen McCain is "OUT OF TOUCH, OUT OF IDEAS AND OUT OF TIME"

No, McCain DOES have a plan for the economy. It is obama who has not yet detailed anything particular for his plan. He just gets the benefit of the doubt because the average Americans are uninformed and blame the current economy solely on Bush when the Democrats are more to blame because of their being in bed with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. McCain was ahead in the polls before the economy worsened. Average Americans are not informed and do not know anything about Obama but that doesn't matter because they think the economy is Republican's fault. I hate to say this but the average American voter is not very smart (and mostly liberal).

McCain…time for your nap.

We are seeing a lot of half truths (or less) with intentional distotion. McCain is most quilt, pribaly because he is behind.

Judy say that ain't so. McCain said he was an honest man and now the deal is out that he was a participant. Man he has lied to everyone and to think that Obama eight(8) was a terriorist. Now let Palin rebunk this with her non-speaking non-reading attitude for the people.

McCain didn't realize that when you go looking for dirt you find it on someone else but there is some out there for you toooooooooo.

Yea baby McCain is out of touch with the people so, Mcain stick to the issues.

It's the "Economy Guys". People are hurting to the point of committing
suicide. They are killing their families and then turning the gun on themselves. Americans pull together in a time of crisis. Barack Obama
and Joe Biden are the only choice we have. God Bless America and
strengthen those who are weak.

McPain are losers. They both missed their chances for face to face libel of their opponent, and now here they are playing johnny come latelites in a last stitch attempt to salvage their pathetic campaign.

ONE NATION

Why can't McCain focus on the issues facing this country? His slogan 'Country First' is an absolute farce as he attacks Obama over the silliest things. Not to mention the release of his attack dog (with lipstick) Sarah Palin. Both are without a strand of moral fiber in there sad dark bodies, Amazing what greed and the hunger for power does to people while 'Joe Six-Pack' suffers.

GO OBAMA-BIDEN!!!

Looking forward to hundreds of Nobama and McSame posts to this non-story. Is there anything here that is actually news?

T o all the GOP bloggers who have gone into hidding cos you John Maverick McCain has lost it comletely…"Woman shot herslelf cos she was loosing her house…..Man killed family and himself cos he lost his job"
All Mr maverick's answer is "Who is Barrack Obama"?

This is absolute insanity, out of touch, and unpresidential.

Pls tell Mr Maverick that here in Illinois Obama have 80% to 16% with 4% undecided pull out cos no matter what happens he cant win in Illinois..He pulled out of michigan but running in Illinois? wahat an incompetent campaign…..Do you think u will loose michigan and gain Illinois? Obama is from illinois…HELLO O!!!!

I think the narrator in the McCain ad is the party most guilty of not telling the truth this round. What the narrator says escalates what independent organizations have said about various Obama ads.

Where's the lie in the cited Obama ad? McCain's own campaign did admit that if the main talking point remains the economy he will most likely lose the race, AND they will turn up the bubble machine on attacking Obama's character.

If Obama wins this election we will be a nation in deep do-do!

We can not afford his Plans or Lack of Experience!

We need a Leader with Experience and a Track Record!

I'm hoping after the debate Tonight folks will realize how dangerous the Left Wing Nut Job in Training Pants really is!

PS McCain is NOT Bush!

McCain/Palin-08

Senator McSame and my ex-republican party have only one problem. We already know know who's trying to lie his way in the While House and who is trying to talk about the issue.

Republican for Obama 08

is it true! they lies all the time.

We all know the Senator McLiar is the one spreading lies and trying to mischaracterize Senator Obama. John McSmear has reached an all time low for running the most dispicable Presidential campaign in history. Why would any sane American want him to run this country? Anyone who votes for him is either racists or absolutely out of thier mind. McInsane has a reward all right, but it won't be sitting in the Oval office. Try again in four years McBush. Maybe being nearly 80 years old will give you some wisdom, but right now at 72 or however old you are, you should pack it up and return to any one of your 9 or 10 or 11 homes - ASAP.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08-12

McCain wanted to smear Obama? Well he has something else coming! Just because Obama is the TRUE EPITOME of change DOES NOT

The McCain campaign, just a month ago said they knew they were lying and didn't care. The press and almost everybody else chastised them for lying, and now we are supposed to listen to them call the other campaign liars? Just exactly how stupid does the McCain campaign really think we are? They insult EVERY American with their attitude that they can spew anything they want to us and we will believe it.

And here come the Republican 527's. So much for "Change" John. You have no PROVEN beyond a resonable doubt that you ARE NOT about change but about running the same, tired, garbage slinging campaign that the American taxpayer (YOU BOSS) is SICK AND TIRED of seeing.

IT'S THE ECONOMY STUPID!!!! as has been said before. We are scratching to get by and you want to throw garbage up on the tv, talk garbage at your political stops and NEVER ONCE talk about a plan to fix this country. You are WAY to out of touch with the cmoon American. Being a kept man has not done you well other than you standard of living which is so far beyond the average American that you can't even begin to relate which makes you NOT the person to led America.

McBush is so out of touch, he's allowing Palin to interject outright racial slurs telling a crowd that Obama " isn't like us" meaning he isn't "white and right like us" thats down right so horrendus and to allow someone in the crowd to yell " terrorist" when McCain asks " who is Barak Obama?" to me as a man of color when a person yells that out it's reference to people of color and McCain allowed this by acting like he had a senior moment . Now if the Straight Talker is honest he'd come out today and publically admonish Palin and repudiate the terrorist wording, McCain has turned into McSleaze. People of color across America have a reason to fear McCain/Palin

That 's what they do to distract the public from talking what is good for the great nation ours. We need to to know what the candidates is doing to save the econony of this country and put America back on track. shame on both of them

Isn't it possible to ignore mudslinging, and continue campaigning? If you play in the mud with your opponent and shift focus off the economy, you may lose.

John McCain's Camp is King of the Camp when it comes to lies and deception. Now he has his cohort Pailin throwing the punches whilst he stays in the background. What an example of a presumed to be Military Hero's Backbone and courage!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08 For Truth, Courage, and Real Solutions.

Slopping in the mud is so unbecoming of John. He should let Sarah do it!

I have read 3 times this morning that" if " Obama would have taken MCcaints offer on the 10 townhall debates, McCaint would be winning. Let me share an observation regarding the word "IF". IF a buzzard had an organ up its butt , we'd have music in the skies!!!! Accept the defeat REPUGS> To borrow a Monty Python qoute in regards to McCaints campaign "Its not resting, it's dead. Breathed of life , it rests in peace. If you hadnt nailed it to the perch , it would be pushing up the daisies. THIS IS A LATE campaign! It has run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible!!!" Have a nice day repugs , and try not to grit your teeth too hard as Obamalamba coasts to victory. Its no too late for you to come to your senses and join up with the Dems……

I can't wait to vote

How can Mccain have the gall to accuse anyone of lying?
The mans whole campaign has been run on lies, distortions,
attacks and phoniness.
The Mccain we use to know is no more and he has thrown
away any integrity and honor he once had to try and win.
We do not want a man like this leading our country.
How could we trust him? We cannot!!

I wouldn't trust McCain for the time of day.</
