In 2002 McCain said about his own campaign that he was driven by ambition because he thought it was his last chance to become President - he admitted in his book that he lied to the American people just to become President.

Maybe that's why he thinks everyone would do the same ?

McCain is appealing to the uneducated and those with underlying racist feelings in this country. Is this Good Judgement? When this election is over, I certainly hope hate crimes do not go up because McCain has definately stoked this fire.

Obama is not a terrorist. He is not a muslim. I think all of the people out there that are questioning him are not listening or reading. Many news outlets have covered this AYERS nonsense. All of stated exacly what Obama has stated. You people just won't give it up because you want McCain to win.

McCain/Palin and his followers: Please crawl back under a rock.

It doesn't make any sense to come out with this sort of ad now - it is vicious and oversimplifies the situation. The only people this ad will play to are their supporters - not the undecideds. People who at this point are undecided I have to believe are those that are continuing to weigh the issues and sifting through things. Really trying to understand the issues and what each platform is proposing. Those who can be swayed by emotional propaganda have already made up their minds. This can only hurt, not help, their cause with those that are still deciding.

"Congressional liberals fought against more regulation," the narrator continues.

Really?!? This claim is laughable. Since Reagan's election in 1980, all we've heard from Republicans is "deregulate, deregulate, deregulate". And, "government isn't the solution, it's the problem." And, "the free market will protect us all, and resolve all the problems."

Now, McCain's ad tries to pin responsibility for this mess on "congressional liberals"??? Please. Conservative economic philosophy, represented and advanced by Reagan, Bush I, and Bush II and their acolytes, is what got us here. Most of the country now knows this, and the Republicans can't even acknowledge their part of the responsibility for it, instead trying to shift blame off of themselves. Sleazy and contemptible. And Repubs wonder why they're in trouble in this election.

Americans, DO NOT VOTE FOR THESE REPUBLICAN JOKERS AGAIN !!!

If you look at the "sound bite" given by Barack, the source is Fox News. Go figure.

McCain is like a mad stalker on this issue. Keating 5 - John, Keating 5!

Lame-brain McCane is truly suffering from post-traumatic stupidity disorder (PTSD)…and his sidekicks; his former addicted stepford wife and the hypocrite is lipstick will simply self-distruct…even as the global economy swirls into utter chaos.

While the McCain team is using their brains to come up with all of the negative ads, they should be going back to the drawing board to figure out how to fix the economy and rethink their presentation to buy bad mortgages. I am very dissappointed in the Republican team. I always thought that they were the sophisticated, educated party but Sarah Palin does not exemplify these traits and is a great dissappointment being on a National ticket. I am sure the world is saying, "what is happening to the great USA?"
With the troopergate issue and Todd Palin seeming to be her Lt. Governor, Alaska and the Pain administration appears to be a political "Payton Place."

McCain/Palin are desperate loser…it won't work this time

The only people who will believe this is the conservative base. They're candidate cannot address the real issues that Americans face, so why not turn this into a high school STUCO campaign with juvenile tactics and name calling? I hope that the American people truly see McCain for what he really is: a washed-up, old man with absolutely nothing to offer.

These were the same attacks used by the Clinton campaign–that did not work? I think that MCCain is fundelmentally dishonest.

What can the average American do to stop this. My donation reflect just gets stronger! I hope others feel the same.

When is blind ambition bad? 232 years ago a group of men had the blind ambition needed to stand up for what they believed in. If those individuals didn't have blind ambition what would have became of this country we live in?

Come on Democrats! Let's fight back against the fear/smear tactics coming from the McFailin campaign! The stakes are too high for us to let them walk all over us. Any links you find about the McFailin campaign, please put it on the blogs! If they want to play hardball, let's show them that we can throw the ball the hardest! This crap has gotten out of control over the past six days. McSame doesn't have any other option but to show fear and disrespect! Let's disrespect them back. OBAMA AND BIDEN will not do it and they are not supposed to! We are supposed to do it for them! We must have their back and win this election!

OBAMA/BIDEN -08!

You know what I see from my front porch? It isn't Russia, it's the end of the McCain-Palin ticket… it's all over folks. I have never seen such sore losers in my life.

Question…John let's talk about your wife stealing from a community orginazation to support her illegal drug habit. Why isn't Palin allowed to do any interviews? Oh, that's right the 3 things she can only speak is Maverick, Hockey Mom and Joe Six Pack. What about you and the Keating 5? You want to play dirty…let's do it Maverick!

Yet another act of desperation from an angry old man!

The McCain/Palin campaign is inciting the worst kind of divisive extremes, appealing to their far right instability in a dishonest manner. How sad.

McCain/Palin = division

Obama/Biden = unity

Obama couldn't get a security clearance due to these relationships. How about ACORN and all the fraudulent voter's registrations. You remember ACORN whose affiliate recieved $800,000 from Obama's campaign to register voters? Obama's supporters would rather win by lying and cheating then by fairness. How does that bode well for this nation? By the way CNN….why no articles on the Saudi's walking out on OPEC. Yeah, apparently their tired of Hugo Chavez and Iran and all their B.S. Why no articles on the World Bank hacking situation. Why all the falsified "Obama is so great articles" and nothing about the important news?

Hmmm…blind ambition, meteoric rise to power via radical left wing supporters, pitiful record of IL Senate and U.S. Senate accomplishment….

Why is he running again?
Oh yeah…I remember, he's running so we can have hope and change, and change and hope, and hope, and hopefulness, and change, and redistribution of rich peoples money, and hope, and government programs to manage every aspect of our lives, and change, and hope, and mandated/enforced healthcare coverage for every child, hope, change, change, hope, and green jobs for our college educated scientists and engineers, and hope, and change.

What frosts me the most is your current offerings to the American people. A governor with “executive experience” and an I.Q. slightly above her shoe size. An old man that mumbles about dead Presidents, old, old war stories and swinging wildly from one perceived “crisis”(read photo op) such as hurricanes, Georgia and the most important, his “economic expertise” that was so critical to the current global crisis he had to rush back to D.C. to share it with Congress. This team insists on yammering and blathering about an activist in the ‘60’s that went on to work with a man that was 8 during the ‘60’s, his past drug use and his minister. Get a clue, reptilians we are the “baby boomers” remember us? We were in the ‘60’s and active, in the ‘70’s we did WAY more drugs than Obama could in two life times, and we do not care who a person’s religious advisor is or was or will be. That is his personal right and freedom, to you religious facists, it is known as freedom of religion, and the definition is not restricted to YOUR religion.. Here is the definition of irrelevant “having no bearing on or connection with the subject at issue; "an irrelevant comment"; "irrelevant allegations". That is why we did not get our knickers in a knot like reptilians did over some slobber on a blue dress. So, keep your self-righteous indignation to yourselves, We want no part of it. Just keep it up and offer no plan of action other than those tired old stories. I want to hear what your going to do so I can still retire in 7 years, I do NOT want to hear more old Viet Nam Poor Old Warrior stories! The Reptilian Party has been reduced to a national joke and the bobble head is the punch line.

After seeing the way these people behave at the McCain-Palin rallies I have decided to vote Democrat for the first time in my life. If McCain didn't agree with what these people were shouting, he would stop the rally and have them escorted away. Booing is one thing. Shouting "kill him!" is another. According to their own logic used against Obama and Rev. Wright/Ayers, if you don't speak out against something right in front of your eyes then you condone it. Period.

Yes, ditto… What everyone else in the country except for those at the McPalin hate-rallies are saying…

More of the same destructive, terror-filled lies. It's a familiar pattern of scaring Americans into giving up their civil liberties, their rationality, and their good judgment to serve the needs of a few, or in this case, McCain.

America is better than these two. I'm proud that we're finally going to stand up to this nonsense. Yes we can.

John mccain CHEATED ON HIS DYING WIFE… hows that for judgment

McCain is asking a question that is about to blow up in his face. Obama is ready for the question. And his response will be mind blowing.

In addition, Talk Radio is now getting desperate. They are flipping on all their positions. None of the host has a consistent message. There even seems to be infighting between shows. They are trying to scare voters, and acting like madmen. They are loosing creditability trying to defend and sell the McCain Campaign. It is clear they are desperate, because they are reaching for any wind of scandal they can find, and spreading it without checking the facts. They are trying to criticize CNN for not participating in their sleaze fest. The more they lose, the better CNN will do. CNN please do not listen or be influenced by their rhetoric. What they know, is depending on the outcome of this election. You will win, and they will lose, for cretin.

No clue on the economy so here goes the same broke and distorted record being played to sway the dumb and dumber. GOP = rudderless ship in the Doldrums.

Filthy, dirty republicans. Why can't they ever fight fair? Always resorting to gutter politics, trying to install fear into Americans. Disgraceful

expect the attacks to not only last but intensify as election day draws near. the republicans have nothing else. the neo-cons have bankrupted the nation and their own party. this is not an election as much as it is an intelligence test.

Wow Mc desperation !

Biden is your friend Teddy Kennedy unpatriotic for hiding 500 million dollars in Fiji as reported last year by Drudge Report and many other internet sites, and not going to pay the death tax or any income tax on it? For those that think Obama or Biden who are both lawyers and graduated from elite schools have integrity just look at Wall Street. THese so called smartest in America that ripped off America graduated from the same schools! I know from my service in the Navy that Annapolis instills INTEGRITY in their graduates!

The only one I'm afraid of is John McCain.

John McCain has made so many erratic decisions, he CANNOT be trusted!!!

Palin is the one with real "blind ambition".

The general public needs to let the 'bucket list candidate and the bimbo' know that we the people will not tolerate the lies and the half truths for the republican party any further……

The fear and smear campaigns of the past will not work so mccain take your alzheimer's medicine and find a corner and go sit down

Just because I put something constructive on there it seems to disappear.

"… Congressional liberals fought against more regulation," the narrator continues.

Huh? Wha?

I'm confused. Who is this guy and what did he do with John McCain?

McCain makes me sick….these attacks are despicable. I cannot believe that rational, reasonable Independents would fall for such crap….
McCain has sunk to new lows - sold his soul to the hatemongers. Talk about blind ambition - this man wants to win at absolutely any cost…
shame, shame, shame on John McCain

I don't think that these attacks will work. I believe in barack obama. he's going to win big.

What a sad conclusion to Mr. McCain's political life work. He is making a mockery of Democracy — and the world is watching.

This guy is talking about democrats fighting against more regulation when there are about 1000 clips of McCain out there talking about how he is a deregulator. This guy is erratic. Also, isn't this ad itself erratic? He went from talking about Ayers to talking about Congressional liberals. Mccain's the one that's dangerous.

I'm angry. Angry about the economy dipping so low and the world banks collapsing and all John McSame can talk about is Barack Obama.

I honestly hate him now. Vote for Obama I don't think this country can handle 4 more years of Bush.

I'm actually more scared of McCain than Obama. McCain won't help us but he can possible hurt us. Obama can possibly help American but won't hurt us.

One thing is for sure. McCain is going to lose 2 things this November - one is the election. Second is the enormous respect he has earned over decades of public service ('Nam + 26 yrs in the Senate).

Sounds like McCain't would rather win an election (good luck with that Senator) than tell Americans anything that is true.

Think Baby Think!!! vote Obama/Biden!

McCain/Palin redefine 'white trash' every time they open their mouths.

Why is the President not campaigning for McCain ? Isnt he from GoP?

TO CNN - I OFTEN RESPOND TO THE ARTICLES ON THIS SITE BUT SELDOM DOES IT GET PUBLISHED.
I WOULD ASK THAT YOU PLEASE PUBLISH THIS…………………………

THE FOUR-WAY TEST
of the things we think, say and do

1. IS IT THE TRUTH?

2. IT IS FAIR TO ALL CONCERNED?

3. WILL IT BUILD GOODWILL AND BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?

4. WILL IT BE BENEFICIAL TO ALL CONCERNED?

I BELIEVE THIS IS VERY BEFITTING FOR OUR TIMES.

McCain, you have disgraced yourself and become a national shame with your campaign of divisive hatred and incitement. You spew smears and slurs, urge hatred and threats, and pit American against American. As you engage in your reprehensible conduct, our economy dies and we suffer. You are self-absorbed, hiding behind the cliche of "Country First." This is about YOUR ambition and how you are willing to sacrifice us all in YOUR pursuit of the White House. You are unfit for that high office, sir, Unfit.

I am deeply disappointed in McCain for resorting to these tactics to win the election. I really thought he was above this kind of sleaze

The sad thing is I know people who buy into every rumor that comes along. They refuse to let facts get in the way of their opinions. These are the same people who keep the tabloids in business.

"Ambition." You mean like you had in the book you wrote, Big J? Let's see, when an individual decides he/she wants to be President of the U.S., they are usually have a large ego and ambition to burn. Big J, start talking about issues. Oh, forgot. A campaign stated you would lose, if you took this avenue. Good thing we are used to the Neo-Con way of attempting to win elections:

Who cares about issues, simply degrade your opponent.

Blind Ambition is what I would call Sen McCain's attempt to Smear Sen Obama with everything he can throw at him. What exactly is his goal here? Mr McCain's "Blind Ambition" is to be the next President of the USA and he is using "Bad Judgement" smears to achieve this goal.

The question is: Who is Barack Obama?

The answer is: The next President of the United States.

ERRACTIC! Means, To wander,having no fixed course,irregular,eccentric,queer erractic person.WEBSTER SAYS THAT ! And that is McCain to a T .By the way it does not mention age at all!
peg,tenn

McCain is a dirty man!! His tactics are desperate and flat out wrong. It WILL NOT WORK AGAIN!!!!!!!!! The economy is falling apart and this is what he is talking about….

McCain is so pathetic I almost feel badly for him…VOTE OBAMA!!!

Republicans do you know what McCain and Palin are doing to your Party? Are you all going to go down because of this man and his choice of VP Palin? This is ugly, this is disgraceful, this is dishonorable, you don't want Obama, then run on the issues, McCains policies against Obama's policies, but not this trash…….I am a democrate but I have voted in the past Republican, I vote for the person I feel will represent American and the people the best and McCain/Palin have proven they are not quailified.

Desperation is a stinky cologne…

The problem with McCain / Palin is; even if there were truth and facts in any of their current claims (which all have been debunked over and over again the last 20 months) they have no credibility left. All anyone has to do is spend some time on factcheck.org to see the lie after lie, the complete distortion of record and the personal attacks they have deployed in their attempt to win the White House.

We can listen to the hate and lies and be brain washed into believing this desperate propaganda or we can educate ourselves and learn the facts and find the truth. Even Joe Biden, who once said that Barack Obama was dangerous and wasn’t prepared, now recognizes what a great leader Obama is and what a great President he will be. It’s funny what happens when you look someone in the eye and get to know their heart.

I’m a proud American, from the great state of Iowa, who served my country. I’m a white Christian father of three teenagers. I love my country, my family and my Lord. I must do what is right for all three.

Join me in voting for Barack Obama and Joe Biden, Americans we can trust.

John McCain is surviving because of the ignorance, isolationism, and prejudices of many within their electorate, as his campaign events are starting to resemble more and more the KKK rallies of the 1940-50s.

Senators Obama and Biden are thriving for the sake of the intelligence, global-minded perspective, and education of their electorate.

John McCain and Sarah Palin are going to get someone killed.

Its seems McCain only wants to tear this country and anything good down with it. Our country is in turmoil and all McCain and Miss Piggy Palin wants to do is bring us all down to their level of ignorance. They should put a muzzel on both of them! Sick of it

He has nothing else!!! I'm so sorry to see Sen. McCain stoop so low. At one time he was a good Senator doing good for the country, but now he seems to be going as low as any politician can go and will do and say anything to get elected. At one time, my vote was for him,but I cannot in good conscience vote for this man now. I have listened to Senator Obama, and I have watched him handle himself with dignity and I must vote for this man. I do not look at the color of his skin as that is not important. I look at the man and his ability to lead this nation and I have personally decided he is that man.

Democrats are willing to overlook any immoral or anti-american acts in their candidate's past, regardless of how dispicable. I guess it's ok because as soon as they get their guys in place, the mere mention of God in public, or the audacity to display an american flag will be considered a hate crime.

Now we know who the real McCain is - a man without integrity or honor.

Time for McCain and Palin to drop out of the race!

O and Joe '08

You ain't fooling anyone, McCain!

Obama/Biden '08

Apparently, McCain is willing to let the entire country go to hell along with his reputation just to win this thing.

Says alot about the character of a man when he can knife you in the back at his rallies or on TV (or let his women do it for him), but not even look at you in a one-on-one debate, much less attack you personally.

Makes me wonder what he thinks about himself right now. I know what I think.

Pathetic. I've always known that there is an ugly side to politics but this goes far beyond ugly. What am I supposed to say to my child (who loves Obama) when she sees this ad? I've taught her to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I've taught her to respect her elders and if you have nothing good to say about someone, don't say it. Where are your values McCain? Shame on you. You have lost what little respect I had for you. It's time you just go away.

I am shocked that McCain is getting so negative- he has too many skeletons that he would like to keep in the closet. Beyond that I think it is horrible what they are doing to Ayers. I admit that I know very little about this man but from what I can gather Ayers was demonstrating against the VietNam war and possibly went too far. However, as far as I can see he was neither convicted or even charged with anything and yet now, 40 years later, when he is a college professor and is working with, and even honored by his community, he is being vilified by Palin/McCain and even the press. It would seem that he is living a productive, humanitarian life and he is being attacked for what may have happened 40 years ago. This is wrong. To connect Obama with the events of 40 years ago is absurd.

Someone needs to inform Sen. McShame that desperation has a pointedly distasteful odor… and I am positive they can smell it as far away as Alaska.

Almost anyone who has worked on education reform issues in Chicago has worked with Bill Ayers. This is beyond silly.

If the republicans could have picked a presidential candidate who is somewhat sane and rational and a vp candidate w/ one eye and half a brain I would probably be voting Republican. I can't in good conscience vote for that ticket and feel that I made the right choice in those who will lead us for the next 4-8 years. That is why I (and a few other here at work) have made a pact to keep an eye on the speeches, interviews and the debate for the next week and every time McCain says the words "my friends", "Ayers", "who is Barak Obama" or "POW" and every time Palin says the word "maverick" I am adding them all up and donating a $1 for each instance. A couple of the guys here are going to do $5 per instance. I hope they keep it up. The more they say it… the more money goes right to Obama's campaign.

Anybody else wanna make that pledge as well? Even if it is a dime per instance… every penny helps!

The problem for the Republicansis very simple. They've totally lost credibility. After 8 years of lies the chickens have come home to roost. The funny thing to me is how suprised they seem. They can scream "Obama is a Terrorist" (which is ludicrous…even the Republicans know it) all day long and no one will listen.

He is a blessed man soon to be the NEXT PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES… read the book of Job, it will tell you that no evil can destroy him…

If this is all they have, WELL! Goodbye McCain and Palin!

The BS they are spewing out there, will come back to haunt them.
OH! excuse me Gov Palin was exorcised by the Witch Doctor!

McCain's erratic behavior has been talked about a lot by many. Even most conservative Republican senators have been talking about it repeatedly. "The bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" reaction is not an isolated incidcent. Consider the following:

In late January, Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., told the Boston Globe that the thought of McCain being president "sends a cold chill down my spine."

"He's erratic. He's hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me," Cochran told the newspaper.

HEY MCCAIN………..CAN YOU SAY PRESIDENT OBAMA?

YOU HAD BETTER GET USED TO IT YOU BITTER, ANGRY, PATHETIC OLD MAN!

When you have nothing else to grab a hold on, all that is left is demonizing your oponent but it will not work because people can see right through it.

The repubs are doomed this year, no more, not after the dismal 8 years of the republican administration.

Obama/Biden will fix the country, the economy, and create jobs for Americans.

Landslide Obama/Biden 08/12.

McCain wants to balance the budget by 2013.
The problem is, he doesn't know yet how the deficit may looks like in 3 months.
Bush made the same promise to cut in half in 2004 election and where are we now?

He said he knows how to fix the social security. And the solution is commission. Or he pledged to not raise tax during his term. How can he be open to a commission and not open to raise tax in order to fix the social security?

He said he know how to win wars. And was advocated to go to Iraq and almost forget or doesn’t believe that the fundamental of the war against terrorism is in Afghanistan.
He said he know how to get Ben laden. It is unpatriotic to not tell that to generals how to catch Ben laden.

Does McCain he mean what he said or is the product of his Age?

We saw this movie before … that will not work again. This year2008 is different.

"McCain, sleazeball politics you can believe in!"

Dear Americans.

I will be voting for McCain.I also believe Obama will win.
Once this election is over,perhaps it will be a good time to start acting like the family this countries people should be.
Just a thought !!!

good luck to you all

This economic crisis is being fanned by anxiety and fear of AN UPCOMING HIGHER TAXES AND UNKNOWN CHANGE if Obama wins (which is more likely).
I am an investor/economist, I know how it is, so I already put my money on a safe place.

WOW! The McCain campaign is truly going down in flames! So sad that John McCain has let his campaign degenerate into such a dishonorable, unpresidential mess!

I can see where this strategy is leading. If McCain gets even close to Obama in a few key states, he's going to start saying that Obama cheated. That's why they are trying their best to make this ACORN and "terrorist" business stick. If I'm right, McCain is terrible because he's going to try and rip this country apart just to win. The Republicans really need to chill out. If you can't win based on ideas and policies, then you don't deserve to win.

McCain's personal attacks on Obama aren't going to convince a single uncommitted or independent voter to support McCain. Keeping whipping up the conservative base as they take the Straight Talk Express right off the cliff. We won't miss you.

I was this close to voting for Obama. But now that McCain raises this issue, that changes everything. I mean, blind ambition - the nerve of this guy! Who does he think he is?

Obama's campaign contributed $800k to ACORN who is now being investigated for voter registration fraud.

OBAMA = ACORN = FANNIE MAE =SUBPRIME LOANS = WALL STREET COLLAPSE = VOTER FRAUD

There are too many suspicious people connected to Obama and the current crisis. Obama WILL DO ANYTHING, and SAY ANYTHING TO GET ELECTED!!!

Mccain's honor is a casuality of war

Mccains Lynch mobs are looking scary…he will lose the Undecided voters …I have heard too many complaints about those rallys…He is stupid….Conservatives voted Bush in.SO, we should trut them to get us out? In a minute one of those people he fired up will take shot at Obama or worse hurt some person in the crowd by accident and it will hit the news like a storm.Or Palin will say something off the cuff that insinuates it's ok to hurt Obama and the race will no longer be a race. They better get those crowds together they are looking more and more like some movies I saw in Mississippi Burning….just saying. I don't think it's a race issue but those people are looking mighty radical….

McCain & Palin we had enought form you two, the both of you are sick. You McCain are not fit to be a Leader. Go Obama & biden Go.

Smears.. lies… deception… fear….

Thats all they know.

McCaine! You are wasting time and energy.People by this time know who Obama is. McCaine's and Palin's versions are not welcome.

It is all lies! Only fear of losing drives people to these extreme measures! STOP THE LIES!

Obama in '08!

He's not a terrorist!! If the Secret Service, CIA, NSA, etc. even got a smell of that he would never have been allowed to get this close to the Presidency. They would have taken him aside and 'kindly suggested' that such a path might be 'unwise'.

I really wish people would use some common sense and logic about this.

John McCain's campaign is in a panic. As Americans have seen, when in crisis, McCain panics. To see that the only option open to McCain right now is negative attacks and personal attacks and smears against Obama shows that the McCain/Palin ticket lacks the vission and ideas that will restore the economy in these troubled times.

Mcain/Palin, same old politics, ideas that are old and tired and not suitable for Americas future.

Obama/Biden, '08.

McShame you need to listen to your peers, stop the 'neg attacks they dont work in the situation we are in right now.
You said you will never invoke "Rev Wright any more but you are about to again
You said you will never expliot your son in iraq but you wife just did the other day.
You are a hero of america dont let people talk you to tarnishing your name cos what happens after the election and you go back to the senate. At this rate it will be you and Liberman by yourselves.

Be Careful.

This is not working John. You are playing to your base, not to the rest of America.

It's the economy stupid and you have no answers.

What happened to your principles McCain, did you ever have any or did you set them "aside" for the election. You are becoming the most dishonorable man in America.

I can't believe the american people will fall for Obamas bull. The german people before WWII were also looking for change and here comes Hitler another great speaker who said what the german people wanted to hear. See what happened to Germany~!!

I read a liberal's statement yesterday on this site…and I agree with it…"why should the truth about something be held back from being written, McCain supporters?"

Now, I ask the same question to liberals. Anything that is brought up against your "Messiah" that is in fact the truth, you scream "McCain's an angry old man". You honestly can't handle the truth, and continue to rely on the media bias to perpetuate your so-called cause. If you actually did research on Obama, you'd understand…but you won't!

Oh that's just too funny. This coming from a senile old man who sold out his principles and his raging idiot sidekick who is using the opportunity to make her own ethics problems "go away". Both will be ugly memories in a few weeks.

CNN pushing propeganda as news! Anyone here think this ads to the debate on who will be the best President other then McCain is willing to burn down the house to win.

Unfortunately, Palin and Cindy are the "blind (blonde ambition)" folks in this campaign. The level of ugliness, fear mongering and negativity at their rallies have totally turned me off. Obama is sticking to the issues and that is leadership. Repubs have lost my vote.

If the RNC, McCain and Palin do not shut their mouths they should be arrested on charges of inciting a riot.

They should share their cells with their loudmouth uneducated redneck supporters who should also be arrested for intention to commit hate crimes and violence.

What that campaign, that soiled brat shell of a man, and that retarded Alaskan women are doing is the most disgusting thing that I've ever had to witness since the Republican's turned their backs on poor Katrina victims.

Peace.

YOu know what amazes me, Obama worked on this baord with Republicans as well…this tells me that Obama does not go around looking for people's faults..he is willing to work with people who will offere themselves to a good cause. McCain on the other hand doesn't see the good..that probably why he left his first wife who patiently waited for him and then dumped her because she became disfigured. May God give her justice she deserves…

John McCain seems to have lost his bearing. Desperation is not a good look for any presidential candidate. Some people just refuse to lose with dignity.

You'd think from listening to the McCain ads that Ayers was godfather to Obama's kids. Obama was a kid when Ayers was doing his thing. As an adult, they served on a couple of boards. NUMEROUS media outlets have researched the story and found the two were not close. End of story. Well, except if you're John McCain and fresh out of ideas of your own - except that government buying mortgage idea that your own faithful are trashing you on - and all you can do is swing blindly at your opponent. Is Karl Rove really running McCain's show as Rolling Stone suggests?

Did I miss something - when did ambition become a bad thing?

I'm sorry - how come NONE of this was brought up BEFORE McCain was behind in the polls?? This just REEKS of desperation.

Give it up Mavwreck, it's not working

Nothing positive to say about yourself so you resort to lying, embellishing and trying to tear the other guy down to your level. Not a leadership style that I am interested in!!!

REMEMBER STICKS AND STONES? GIVE IT UP LOSERS!

OBAMA/BIDEN

Talk about a totally clueless old man. He wants to focus on things that have already been part of the focus during the Dem. primary. 95% of people in this country are talking about the economy, not Obama's "suposed" radical friends. Your going down McBush, Obama's gonna wipe the floor with you and the rest of your repugnant friends!

Obama/Biden '08

Seriously McSame? You have 25 days to go, and have 7 points to make up. The weekend is here and on Monday you will have 22 days until election day. And for a WEEK now you've been pushing the non story Obama-Ayers issue that has brought you no movement in the polls and next to nobody caring about it. Oh yeah the economy is tanking and YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WILLIAM AYERS. No wonder you're losing badly. Go Obama.

Gee, McCan't is getting more dirtier but this wont work.
'That one/Biden '08

Watch Countdown with Keith Olbermann on MSNBC at 4:00 eastern time & again at 6:00 eastern time. It's the only news show on television that states the facts about McCain's & Palin's lies on a daily basis. Olbermann also discusses McCains & Palin's terrorist links.

Nothing but a new attempt to keep yapping about nothing. It's all getting so dull and predictable. I hardly read them anymore.

They can run misleading ads, they can pursue the politics of anything goes. It will not work. Not this time. I think that folks are looking for something different this time. It's easy to rile up a crowd, nothing's easier than riling up a crowd by stoking anger and division. But that's not what we need right now in the United States. The times are too serious

L-A-M-E and D-E-S-P-E-R-A-T-E! McCain't/Failin' Palin have nothing left so they fire blanks. Just like all their blanks and absentia when it comes to policy, plans or solutions for the overwhelming problems this country faces.

I have lost any and all respect I ever had for John McCain

This is the wallpaper that lines the walls of the long ditch McBush is heading down. It will get uglier, he will become more angry as he realizes he's coming to the bottom of the ditch.
We hope he enjoys the slide!!! And may "THAT WOMAN" be be waiting for him when he lands!

Please go on rollingstone.com and click on "Make Believe Maverick" and read about the real McCain. This should change the minds of the McCain believers and soldify the Oboma voters.

Obama's blind ambition??? The only blindness here is McCain's inability to "see" voters want answers, real answers, not personality attacks. Our economy is in the tank and McCain's "blind ambition" has prevented him from addressing this issue.

Goodbye John and Sarah - your lies and hateful smear attacks aren't working.

This McCain Campaign is getting really disturbing in their level of anger and personal attacks toward Barack Obama. Talk about un-presidential!

But what is more disturbing than the ads is the rallies, where McCain supporters are being encouraged to yell epithets, threats or treason and terrorism, and other frantic and angry outbursts.

John McCain and Sarah Palin, why are you trying to bring out the worst in people? Certainly that is not the kind of "leadership" you are trying to sell us?

To borrow from Shakespeare…

Yet McCain says he is ambitious;
And McCain is an honorable man.

Used to be, anyway…

OBMA'S AMBITION IS TO HELP THOSE WHO NEED HELP THE MOST, THE AVERAGE AMERICANS! MCSAME HAS SOLD HIS VERY SOUL TO WIN, AND HE STILL WILL LOSE! THE GOP SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES, YOU HAVE NO MORALS OR VALUES, I HOPE YOUR CHILDREN GROW UP TO BE JUST LIKE YOU!

This is the Dumbest that they have come out with.

Go away McSane

Obama/Biden 08/12

Off the subject just a tad but relevant:

McCain/Palin hold lynch mob (aka campaign stop) - Can you smell the tar boiling and see the feather pillows waiving?

McCain/Palin - McCarthyism for the 21st century…

Who is John McCain? Tell us about how Charles Keating flew you your wife and family to his private house in the Bahamas several times. Explain till death do us part on papers addressed to you with your name on it. Explain your connections with a convicted felon G Gordon Liddy who has donated to your campaign, held fundraisers for you at his home, you on his radio show when he was telling people how to shoot FBI and ATF agents. Tell us how you lived with a drug addict that stole from a charity. How her father a convicted felon with Mafia ties what was your judgement going into that situation. How does the American people know that you are not brainwashed from your years as a POW? America needs to know and want to know, how can we trust John McCain, his judgement is questionable

McCain secretly worked with anti-semites between 1981 and 1986 and Palin husband was a member of the terrorist Alaska Party - now who is the real McCain? And who is the real Palin?

Just like Dodd, Biden, Pelosi and Oblahblah - All have littered the American lanscape with thier "Self-Serving" special interest's corruption and left to the center S

Now since Sarah Palin wants to talk about issues people are interested in, ie "Who is Barack Obama?"

I think this should open up talks about, Who is Sarah Palin? Lets hear more about her pregnant daughter (how is she doing?) Troppergate scandal, her religious beliefs etc. I dont know why Obama's campaign is not attacking her on these issues.

Race aside if you are an American and you love your country. You care about the future of this country, Obama is the better representative. We have to understand that we are living in a global economy, America's role as a leader has change.

Other countries have emerged as global players over the years, and they also want a piece of this sphere.

I believe that it was McBush pushing for deregulation of EVERYTHING. Plus, Ayers was never convicted of anything. McCain, you are going down.

Regarding William Ayers, John McCain’s accusations against Sen. Obama and his questioning Obama’ judgment are pretty unbelievable, considering that Senator McCain actually had a rebuke from the senate for “Poor Judgment” (That’s a QUOTE, folks) in the Keating Five investigation by the Senate Ethics Committee. By any definition, the factual consequences and results of Obama’s relationship with Bill Ayers was helping raise funds for education as part of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge.

By contrast, the consequences of McCain’s relationship with Keating resulted in a $124.6 billion bill, which was directly paid for by the U.S. taxpayer. And let’s not forget Sarah Palin is currently under investigation back in Alaska for abuse of office as Governor. Yet these are the two pointing the fingers – pretty amazing McCain and Palin would even go there, considering their own problems with judgment and character.

Another 200 fake voter registrations from Acorn in Indiana. More Chicago style politics from the great obama. There's change we can believe in.

STOP DRINKING THE KOOL-AID AMERICA! Wake up before it's to late to save our country from this terrorists fool.

What happened to running a clean campaign ? Guess that shows his promises don't stay around long.

Have to repeat it:

It's the economy, you fear-mongering idiots.

The only question is how much lower can McCain/Palin sink? Talk about bottom feeders!!! We need to have this election over with as soon as possible so we no longer have to listen to the insane ramblings of these two pretenders! John, you were once a man of honor and dignity. What happened? We are in a new age, we are in a new time - the policies of Bush and the Republican party have FAILED!!! It is time for new leadership, new vision and a new start. The Republican party needs to regroup and rethink what they have done and what they can do to resurect themseleves from the ash heap they have created.

Obama/Biden for America!!!

Why are McCain/Palin not actively disavowing the extremists at their rallies who are shouting things like "kill them!" at their rallies (i.e., would-be domestic terrorists)? Are they OK with their campaign events playing like a bonus scene from "Truimph of the Will"? Is the Secret Service investigating these people? If not, why not?

Every new ad by McCain is worse than the one before it. Has any recent ad by the Republican candidate said ANYTHING about the issues? Has any recent ad by the Republican candidate offered any helpful proposals for how he's going to lead this country? I'm completely disgusted by it all. Palin isn't giving campaign speeches - she's inciting the crowds to riot. This has GOT to stop!

This just goes to show you what type of person McCain is, this country is in trouble and he is worried about that crap!

Blind ambition is John McCain's new motto. Didn't he write in one of his books something like "I wasn't running for President out of a sense of patriotism…In truth it had become my ambition to do so"?

This negative campaigning from the McCain camp is not helping our country as we brace tough economic times. If they have nothing to say about how they plan to help this country, they should say nothing. Enuf already!

the day will come where McCain will apologize to the nation and say that he is deeply sorry for what he did

McCain - You need to take a deep breath and see what you're doing. When all of it is over, you will be lesser than what you started with. President , no way, maverick no more and less honorable for sure.

If by "Country First" McCain means being deceitful and lying to the american public, well then he's doing a fabulous job!

Doesn't he read the blogs?…people don't wanna hear this mularky…Oh wait, he doesn't know how to use the computer.

This is all the republican campaign can come up with? This is their ballyhooed "October Surprise"? This is what they are counting on to deliver them the White House?

Seriously?

on the night of last debate, were "many" parties held, with only "swing voters and independents", and all across TEXAS, the vote went to OBAMA..I seriously doubt even at this point, anything McCain group tries to throw at Obama, will work ! He has ( and Palin too ) tried to stir up way too much hatred, lied way too much, conducted the "dirtiest" swift boat campaign I have ever seen..
we are "christians", and while we dont always agree with everything Obama proposes, we DO agree he is the most qualified to be president, with "coolest" temper, soundest judgement, and at this time, best plan to take america forward..we are so glad to see the NEW america emerging…
Texans for Obama..

Look at the images in this ad. This is Willie Horton all over again. These peole are despicable racists - no other way to describe them.

This is getting really sad!!! What ever happened to "country first"? Jhon McCain is looking so desperate and weak right now. His VP pick is no help to him because she is running her own 2012 campaign. I wouldn't be surprised to see McCain try to bring back Rev Wright. What has happened to John Mccain? I've followed politics for a few years and I remember how GW Bush treated him and McCain vowed to never run a campaign like that,so what does he do? He goes out and hires the same guys that ran GW Bush's campaign against him. I have a question "WHERE IS THE REAL JOHN MCCAIN?"

McLameStain and Failin Palin are messing up ANY chances for the Senate and House Republicans to make any gains against the Dems this year and I love it. Not to mention, there won't be a Rethugnican in the White House for YEARS after McWalkingcane's little stint here against Obama. He and Stalin Palin might as well give it up cause there's gonna be a new sheriff in town on November 4th!

If all of you would stop your blind hatred and listen. Each time Obama talks about William Ayers, we hear a little more about their relationship which Obama's advisors have told us no relationship exists. Obama needs to come clean on this issue to make it go away. Otherwise he will not be a trustworthy president.

I do not care about all of this past history we all have a history some worse than others, but that is in the past why can't they stick to the issues. I am a 55 year old who have worked for 28 years on the same job and was looking forward to taking early retirement when I get 3o years of service, but now the way the ECONOMY is I may have to stay on longer. I don't know what all of the nonsense that they are throwing in the campaign have to do with getting the country back to where the citizens feel comfortable , but I am not now or have ever been able to call my self a hockey mom . After divorce I had to raise two children on my own but then the economy was stable enough for me to do it. Now I am raising one grandchild do to unforseen circumstance and it is harder to raise the one than it was to raise two.

McCain and his handlers must think the American People are a bunch of idiots. We can see what is right in front of us. News stories don't just disappear… you can go to archives and see for yourself what happened last month, last year, Keating 5 yrs ago.

I can only think that they are tryng for the racists in our society… those people who will tell themselves anything to prevent the election of a black president. Those have to be the only people who would swallow what he and Palin are dishing out.

NOVERMBER 6 NEW YORK TIMES FRONT PAGE:

McCain comes from behind, wins by 15 votes!!

I'm no longer asking myself, "Who is the real Barack Obama?" Rather, after watching a full measure of self-destruction, I'm asking, "Who is the real John McCain?"

Poor republicans..They had 6 years of absolute control and BLEW it.

Definition of insanity…doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results…

Stop the Insanity…

Fix the mess…VOTE DEM!

Virginia Navy Veterans for Obama/Biden - Warner

Obama doesn't even help his brother, that lives in a mud hut, in Kenya. What makes you think he is going to help us? It comes down to character, which he has none of.

Umm last time I checked, if we are speaking in generalizations, conservaties are for deregulation while liberals are against it, i.e. for more regulation which would require more government… Can we go back to a time were conservatives and liberals weren't respective devils and were what they truly are, people who may disagree about how the country should run but still lvoed this country…

What about Palin's connections to the Alaskan Independence Party? These people are anti-American radicals and Palin's husband was a registered member of this group. Palin actually addressed this separatist group this year as Governor. Why is the media not covering this? This is a real connection. Obama was just serving on a Republican funded board with Ayers. Are all the Republicans who sat on that board suspects too? Why single out Obama? He was 8 years old when Ayers was a radical. Palin is friends with current radicals. Why isn't CNN talking about this? All they do is post the McCain talking points.

Ambition??
No word describes Sen. McCain better. He still believes (and probably rightly so) that he should have won the Republican nomination in 2000 and that it was stolen from him.
This is it for him and the thought of losing this election to THAT ONE is tearing him up.
There can be no other explanation for a once honorable man running the dirtiest campaign ever (and given Bush's campaigns that is saying something).

Shame on you Sen. McCain. It's not too late to regain your soul.

Who is John McCain? Born not in the U.S.A. but in Panama, future home of dictator Manuel Norriega. As a young man, McCain spent five and 1/2 years living with the North Vietnamese during a time of war. Given an opportunity to return to his own country, he refused. He says it didn't affect him, but how can we be sure? Has he ever been given complete psychological testing? How do we know he isn't secretly waiting to do Hanoi's bidding?

You see, Republicans, how silly this is? Try to stay focused on what's important and you'll see that the Obama / Biden ticket offers the best hope for our country.

Why should Obama respond to McCains stupid lies.

Everyone knows that McCain is lieing to save his campaign.

What a Joker, he lost his marbles.

Obama / Biden 08

Another important part of the party's platform is a demand that all federal lands in the state be "returned" to Alaska - a curious position, given that the U.S. government - and not Alaska settlers - bought the territory from Russia in 1867. The party in general advocates as little federal and government intrusion in people's lives as possible: no federal or state aid for schools, roads, hospitals, health care, social security, or farmers and the privatization of all government functions short of international diplomacy and defense. These positions put the party far to the right of Republicans like John McCain - or even our state representative Marty Seifert, who recently praised the "private-public partnership" that brought the new Regional Events Center to Marshall.

Wow, McCain is one to talk about blind ambition.

Nobody likes to talk about how McCain conspired with the Vietnamese government against the US. While a POW he was indoctrinated with communist ideas and pledged allegiance to their government. He is a manchurian candidate. Who's the terrorist? McCain

Clinton used the Fleetwood Mac song "Don't Stop" as his campaign theme in '92. I'd like to dedicate another Fleetwood Mac song to the GOP - it's called "Landslide".

Geez, stop already with the character attacks! You are behind in the polls and did not do good at either of the two debates. If you want to help yourself John, talk about the issues and your plans and not what Obama did with whom when.

Desperate times apparently call for desperate measures….just a sad sad situation! His ship is sinking….and fast!

Obama/Biden '08

I am so sick of John McCain. His campaign will surely go down as the most disengenious, the most negative, and the most scurryless in this country's history.

He has no shame…

False claims are rampant and ACORN is the Republican attack du jour. Barack Obama was NOT a community organizer for ACORN. He was a community organizer for a group of community churches that established the Developing Communities Project (DCP) to encourage people in blue-collar, run-down communities to contribute their skills to improving their communities. He never worked for ACORN in any other capacity at all but merely represented them in a legal case many years ago.

Sen. Obama received an award for representing ACORN in a successful lawsuit, along with the U.S. Department of Justice, against the state of Illinois to force state compliance with a federal voting access law. Do your homework and you won't look like such fools for spreading false information.

These smears don't impress voters and actually expose the deceit and desperation of the McCain campaign. If you can't win with the truth, please pack up your slime machine and go home. This nonsense doesn't help one person pay for their health insurance, fill up their gas tank, or protect their retirement fund.

I'm surprised John McCain's well crafted message of hate, fear, and lies is not resonating more with voters. It may have something to do with the fact that the economy is terrible, and McCain only offers to continue the same failed Bush policies that got us here in the first place.

This is getting to be insane!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a Obama supporter but I sure see McCain & the republican party for what they really are….this election & remembering the last election with the swift boat ordeal against Kerry has open my eyes. The republican party is made up of a bunch of hypocrites, back stabbing, racist, who remind me of the American version of the Taliban.

Wow! How low the McCain/Palin ticket must stoop to win over voters with this nonsense! As a voter, I care about the issues concerning me, my family and our future….not this petty back and forth foolishness about something Ayers did some 40 years ago before I was even born! I care about the HERE and NOW….The future is what's at stake here…not the past!

McCain/Palin—running scared
Their strategy — try to discredit Obama…never mind if it's true or not.
Run up one "idea" after another to make it look like they really know what to do … never mind if it will work or not.

This strategy will not work. We are smarter than that.

This is really a waste of time and money. No one is listening to this crap except for McCain's base. I'm 56 years old and I will be lucky if I can ever retire after what has happened in the market. Do you think I care about this kind of nonsense??? I will vote Democrat and so will everyone I know. We want and need change!

No policies, no ideas, no nothing except nasty venom–On the bright side, little Johnnie throwing his own slime–not being led around by the nose by Cindy

Dear… The man is getting nuclear. McCain is really showing himself as a despicable character…
