CNN

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.

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!

"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 !!!

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.

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.

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.

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 !

Palin is the one with real "blind ambition".

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!!!

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

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

"... 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.

The question is: Who is Barack Obama?

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

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.

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....

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 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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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, 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

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.

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....

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~!!

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.

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!

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...

This is the Dumbest that they have come out with.

Go away McSane

Obama/Biden 08/12

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!

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...

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

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?

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.

Mc Song Bird

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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... Is this an old trait or just... blind ambition?

Gee – all I've seen from McCain lately is blind ambition – without any shred of dignity or honor, or consistency of viewpoint. He had his chance in 2000, and he was a different man then.

Sorry, sir, but your time is up. Go home! Or to one of your homes.

Obama said he didn't know Ayers initially. Then he says they met at a party, but the terrorist attacks occurred when Obama was 8 years old. Now we find out that Obama and Ayers worked together for extended periods of time (even though Ayers is an unrepentant terrorist), and that Obama wrote the preface for one of Ayers books. Facts speak louder that words, Senator Obama. (By the way, the liberal policies you have supported in the past are far different than what you are proposing currently).

When will McSenile understand that americans are tired and fed up of their fear tactics?? OBAMA 08

that spot is the dumbest so far: and what has Ayers to do with sub-prime loans and regulation anyway??? Mr McCain, it is truly time to go to the doctor and get your head examined!

So let me get this, because someone I know now at 26, committed despicable acts when I was 8, somehow makes me an accomplice to their actions. At 8 – when Ayers did his dirt Obama was trying to find his way as a young boy in Hawaii. Fast forward 35+ years Ayers is now a professor at one of the BEST schools in America! If the University of Chicago and 95% of the nation can move forward why is McCain & Palin trying to make something out of nothing.

I will tell you why – THEY ARE SCARED OF THE REALITY. Obama WILL be the next president of the United States and they will do anything in they power to stop it, which sadly has become LYING, MISREPRESENTATION, and UTTER SWIFBOATING!!! SHAME ON YOU MCSAME & (pa)LYING, and ALL republicans out there who would rather LIE to win the White House than speak truthfully. TWICE BUSH LIED AND THE LAST 8 YEARS HAVE BEEN HELL – WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

the republican "party" is over. let's move forward and govern like we are one country all Americans. we need smart "new" leadership. YES WE CAN !!!

Obama / Biden 08

McCain is ridiculous. Is he tryin to imply that sub-prime loans to minorities is what crashed this nation is garbage.The majority of Americans are not ethnic minorities..lol. Liberals are all of a sudden being blamed for deregulation – This comes after he just this year stated that he is for more de-regulation and his record in the senate is evidence of his stance.
Over the last few days of the McCain scampaign we have seen them stir the pot of HATRED and ANGER. They seem oblivious to the potentially dangerous ramifications of their approach. When members of their audience are shouting 'kill him' and calling him a 'Terrorist' is just sad.The fact that McCain condones this shows that he has no HONOR nor INTEGRITY.

Americans don't forget.. McCain''s Lobbyists aren't paid to lobby him on any issue that benefits you. Some of them are even paid by foreign countries/enterprise and their appointment represents a conflict of interest.
OBAMA aka 'That One' is our Lobbyist..Our Representative

Obama for Americans

Bye McCain

JOHN MCCAIN: "My friends I'm an insane old man with not much to offer the american people but more of the same as my buddy...ugh as George Bush...and my running mate is an empty headed pageant queen.....

SARAH PALIN: "Hey say it aint so Joe...uh John, Im a hockey mom"!

JOHN MCCAIN: "Look my friends we got nothing going on here...please listen to the nonsense and hatred we are spewing and vote for me".

SARAH PALIN: "Yea cause we're just two joe six pack Mavericks"!

Talking about calling the kettle black...
John McCain friends to David Dukes(KKK), Strom Thrumond (Racist), and others in politics, and adulterer. American Hero.....Yeah Right
Palin – Adulterer, abuser, unplanned pregnancy; 3 months before she got married, mildly educated (MILDLY).

Obama 08

Desperate McCain will do anything to win. Putting country last

Don't know why it won't allow comments, but it is amazing in the story just before this one. McCain finally came up with a policy that made a little sense. Suspending the 70 1/2 forced withdrawl would be good and I think that President Obama should consider this(I am sure he will). It only took J Mc the entire campaign to come up with this. If you throw enough erratic ideas around eventually one makes sense. Congrats John, but that is not steady leadership.

Obama 08'

Does McCain have a moral obligation to try to reign in his supporters a little or at least not to incite them? At recent rallies, people has shouted "terrorist", "off with his head", "kill him", and even turned on a camera man and shouted racial slurs.

This is the guy who promised a high minded campaign? This is the guy who said in 2000, that campaigns rely on personal attacks when the do not have any ideas for our country? Is his campaign honorable? Can he be considered honorable any longer? Why would anyone vote for a ticket that behaved in this manner?

What would you call McCain with his desparate NEGATIVE ADS ????In actualiity his ambition and desire would seem MUCH stronger than Obama's . To the point that McCain is eratic and losing focus on what we the voters need.

THIS IS JUST ANOTHER MCBUSH SICK AD CAINT TALK ABOUT ECONOMY IN TANK SICK OLD MAN WITH BARBIE DOLL IN SHEEPS CLOTHING

Ugh . . . can't wait for this election to be over with. I am sick of hearing about McUgly and his cold, degrading-dark self.

McCain is so negative, and ugly that just reading something McCain does could bring the worst out of somebody. Which tells me that McCain is just a horrid, cold, insensitive person – McCain is just a rotten old piece of meat walking around.

I am tired of Obamas free ride through this whole vetting process.
Why should we not know about his hard drug use, why shouldn't we know about his record at school, what about how he paid for his drugs when he didn't have money. These are the things that need to be looked at before he is given the keys to the white house. What about his friendship with Ayers, they had to have had conversations and evidently Obama agreed with them. Answer any of these questions and you will know what kind of man Obama is.

McCain should be careful using the word "ambition". McCain has a blind ambition to be President:

"I didn't decide to run for president to start a national crusade for the political forms I believed in or to run a campaign as if it were some grand act of patriotism. In truth, I wanted to be president because it had become my ambition to be president. I was sixty two years old when I made the decision, and I thought it was my one shot at the prize."

If McCain becomes President, his job will be done and he'll either be taking lots of naps or may possibly take more vacations than his buddy George W. Bush. So much "for the people"...

When it comes to Obama it looks like the ACORN, actually a number of them, did not fall far from the tree.

So far, this is nothing new. The NY times, that Palin loves to brag about finally reading, even said as much. It is the desperate tactic of a desperate campaign that is losing because it has not leadershiop potential. Unfortunately, such crap can gain traction with a public that doesn't think and doesn't bother to inform itself. It it works, we will never have a campaign again on the issues.

10 years sober

McSame is this all you have got? Weak arguments.

Obama/Biden

This campaign of fear tactics and outright lies is not only getting dirtier as each days goed by...

This is getting OUTRIGHT DANGEROUS !!!!

It looks like...correction...I'm sure McCain has now been delt a devil's hand and he's laying all of his hideous cards on the table...

I sincerely hope that I'm wrong...but something tells me that someone is gonna get hurt here...real bad !!!!!

The economy is going into the crapper and McCain wants to argue about something that never happened. McCain's claim about Ayers and Obama is just a figment of McCain's imagination. He's desperate and he keeps throwing mud in hopes that something will stick. It appears that all McCain has going for him is that mud. It's sad, but what is even sadder is how many republicans agree with him, and what is even worse than that, are those nuts that that get into a frenzy when Palin spreads those lies.

McCain: Stop destroying our election process and go back to telling the truth.

What an utterly rediculous statement to be made- that congressional liberals favored the deregulation of wall street and the housing market. Take your lies and flush them Mr. McCain, or you will never see the white house. Americans are tired of clear lies, and we are smart enough to know that less regulation is desired by big business, and republicans seem to like to hop right into bed with big business...logic prevailing, we are compelled to the knowledge that this string of ads are not only lies, but a direct insult to the intelligence of the American People.

This is going down as the most 1-sided victory since 1984, and you have nobody to blame but yourself, McCain. How about instead of tying Obama to events that happened when he was a child you actally tell us how you are going to fix this country? I supported you over Bush in 2000, but I would never give you the time of day in 2008.

Second, all you right-wing evangelicals need to pick up your bibles and turn to the section on forgiveness. So what if Ayers was a member of Weather Underground? He made amends and is now working to make this country a better place by using diplomacy instead of violence. Doesn't he deserve forgiveness? Also, so what if Obama did marijuana and cocaine as a teenager. He learned from his mistake and is a better man for it. Doesn't he deserve forgiveness? There are no asterisks in the bible.

McCain new IRA plan alittle self serving don't you think?? Way to look at the big picture, people YOUR age!!!

When is all this negative trash going to end?

It won't be Obama we will need to concern our selves with, it will be all the angry, racist people, whom John and Sarah are stirring up, and becoming erratic, and unstable.

Those will be the threats we will need to concern ourselves with if this hatered that Mccain, and Palin, and some of those in the media, don't stop immediately, before it gets worse.

It has now gone to far, and it needs to stop..Plezzze!!!

DESPARATION is soooooooo ugly!

I completely 100% agree with John McCain's ad! Barack Obama is driven by nothing more than pure, evil ambition!!!
For example, who was it that decided to sacrafice the decency of his campaign just to whip his base into a frenzy, for the sake of a few votes!?!?
Who decided to elicit death threats from his crowds towards the other candidate just for the sake of an electoral victory?!!?

...oh wait.

with all the facts coming out about obama the latest being how while we are at war with Iraq talked to them trying to get them Not to sign anything until after the election. This is an act of treason. He should be arrested and tried for treason against the united states. Even if you do not believe in the war you don't talk to the country we are at war with and suggest anything like he has done.

Hello pot? I'm kettle. Did someone forget to tell McCain that he, like Obama, is also running for president? Last time I checked, you need to be pretty ambitious to run for the highest office in the land. What an idiot. I heard in his next add, McCain is gonna tell Obama to "get off my lawn."

Keep digging the hole deeper and deeper John. Americans are fed up with your lies and B.S. mistortions. All they care about is how your country is going to get out of this mess and you are definately not the person to do that. You are way to concerned about getting to be president instead of taking care of the American public. I am a Canadian and I can see pretty clear when it comes to the problems in your country. And one of the biggest problems is you John,you and all your rich CEO's and Oil rich buddies you helped rob the American people for the last 8 years.. Not this time McCain. Americans are too smart for you this time around. Go back to your buddy Bush. A maverick you are not, since all you ever been in your entire political career is a George Bush ""SIDEKICK.""

McCain!!! This is getting ridiculous!! Give it a break.

Is this really the best you can do? This is why Obama is kicking your butt in the polls. Try something new. Who in their righ mind would want someone as out of control as you leading our natjon?

You are no maverick!

Wall Street lost 350 points plus today and counting today Senator McCain. 10 billion being spent a week in Iraq Senator McCain. Record foreclosures Senator McCain. Climbing unemployment Senator McCain. The clock's ticking. The woman losing her home in Indiana, the factory worker losing his job in Ohio, the person closing down their business in Virginia don't want to discuss Mr. Ayers Senator McCain. Why do you?

Erratic, out of touch...who is the real John McCain?

It is now official John McCain has completely lost his mind. What sad old man without a trace of decency. He should get some advice with all the hatred he is stirring up as it is not only dangerous to Obama and America as a whole but sometimes a nut from the other side might point the gun at him.

Don't censor me – this is on blogs on several other sites. I'm tired of you censoring my posts.

This is all over the internet:

"Obama has been justly criticized for his ties to former Weather Underground member Bill Ayers, who in 1995 hosted a campaign event for Obama and in 2001 gave him a $200 contribution. The two have also served together on the board of a foundation. When their connection became known, McCain minced no words: "I think not only a repudiation but an apology for ever having anything to do with an unrepentant terrorist is due the American people."

What McCain didn't mention is that he has his own Bill Ayers—in the form of G. Gordon Liddy. Now a conservative radio talk show host, Liddy spent more than four years in prison for his role in the 1972 Watergate burglary. That was just one element of what Liddy did, and proposed to do, in a secret White House effort to subvert the Constitution. Far from repudiating him, McCain has embraced him.

How close are McCain and Liddy? At least as close as Obama and Ayers appear to be. In 1998, Liddy's home was the site of a McCain fundraiser. Over the years, he has made at least four contributions totaling $5,000 to the senator's campaigns—including $1,000 this year."

John McCain's strategy . .
I can't tell you any good reasons to vote for me so I'll try to convince you not to vote for "that one".

I agree with Carolyn who is the ral John McCain ? Everyday its something diffrent. He is liek a soap opera. Very sad

McCain is the one with bad judgment. He is the one that told us our economy was stable and then it bottomed out approximately 2 hours after his statement. As far as I am concerned, he is the one with "blind ambition". His campaign smear tactics are horrible and, by the way, are not working. I think questions should be raised about McCain's past and present. He and Palin continue their smear campaign as if their past and present are lily white, and we all know that is not true. Our country needs change not more of the same, and I believe that change will come with Obama.

The mud-slinging innuendos have been the final straw for me, and the fact that Palin delivers many of them with a coy little smile reminds me of the “nasty girls” in high school who smiled as they stabbed people in the back laughing about them as they did it.

I am smart enough to research and see through the B.S. I want to focus on the issues that will affect me and my children’s future. I don’t need “homeland terrorist techniques” to try to swing my vote through fear mongering.about another candidate.

McCain should be ashamed of himself on how he has run this campaign. A true “hero” would rise against the fray and present himself accordingly. Taking the “high road” my friends, is Presidential, taking the “low road” is not.

McSame has run out of bullets & is throwing the gun.

It is McSame that was supporting deregulation all along that helped get us into this mess, along with Bush policies, which he supported the majority of the time.

It is McSame that is blindly thrashing around in a rage, inciting his crowd, acting erratic, making personal attacks rather than address the issues. He has already acknowledged that if he focuses on the economy, he will lose, therefore, what else has he got? Caribou Barbie has already lost her appeal & people are seeing her for what she is...an unqualified pretty face.

He wants to make Obama seem oooooo, so scary. Oh please, let's get away from the fear mongering. We see where that has gotten us since the last election.

And I thought McCain couldn't go any lower. I also am amazed at McCain again not addressing Obama directly. Instead he sought to disrespect the whole Chicago, IL delegation and the constituencies of Chicago by saying, he would never seek the advice of a Chicago politician. NEWSFLASH DUMMY!!!! You're not running against the rest of Chicago. You're running against one man. Your math is still fuzzy. You seem like a fighter on the ropes. One punch. "You're dizzy, it's getting dark, and the lights are about to go out. Ding, Ding, Ding!!! You just got TKO'd.

I'm convinced part of our economic issues are due to the war we couldn't afford. McCain let's not talk about judgment okay? I'm not convinced the surge worked. Could things have been on their way to stablizing anyway?

The judgment to send our young men and women to a war we should never have been in far outweights acquaintances.

If you really believed that Ayers is an issue why did you wait so long to bring it up? Judgment? It's not like we didn't all know about it. Senator McCain, your judgment became an issue with me when you made the decision to stand with Bush.

How about adding in the voter registration fraud being commited on Obama's behalf by ACORN. The latest report is that, with the registrations they've turned in, 105% of Indianapolis' eligible citizens have registered to vote. Those include many with the name of Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse and Jimmy Jones, a sandwich chain and hundreds od them live at the same address.

"McCain's blind ambition. When noticed he's a loser, he started unbelievable atacks on Obama...I got something to tell you McCain/Palin ticket, we dont care anymore and we are not ready to risk our future with you. You got few years to live man, GO AND SELL ONE OF YOUR HOUSES AND USE IT TO BUY RESPECT 'COS YOU HAVE NOTHING LEFT.

McCain will do or say anything now. He is so desperate. Why don't you just give up. Your starting to look like a sore-loser.

Obama/Biden 08

I am ashamed to be a republican!

wow....mccain needs to study archaeology and go in search of his dignity. i believe it's buried somewhere in the ruins of his career.

Issues = 0

He did come up with a "mortgage" and "401k" proposal... both are erratic and panic ideas... which is what we don't need right now.

Blind ambition- McCain graduated from the Naval Academy because he was an admirals son. McCain crashed not one, not two, but three aircrafts (ask anyone in the armed forces whether or not a "regular soldier" would have lost their wings). McCain became the Navy's liasion to the Senate because of daddy. When McCain wanted to run for Senate his WIFE bought him a house in AZ. I don't even have to go down the Keating road.

Blind ambition? Look at the things Palin did to win the MAYOR'S race in AK. She painted her opponent as jewish because of his last name...claiming to be the only "Christian" running. The Alaskan Independence party was "Lucky" enough to have her speak at their event in 2008, and have her husband as a card carrying member. She's taken gifts, not reported the reimbursed money the AK government gave her for per diems, and cozied up to Senator Ted Stevens who is currently being prosecuted.

This isn't the pot calling the kettle black this is a leopard accusing a tiger of having spots.

Very sad. McCain is telling the truth and the liberal, country hating media will not report it.
CNN is the biggest scum bucket of them all.

It will fail as a tactic as all McCain-Palin tactics have failed, in fact it will only cause more voters to flow to Obama, because it is a blatant effort to distract and distort again! It didin't work for Hillary, remember?

Can't republicans come up with new ideas on how to win, are they so stupid as to believe Americans can't see through their lies.

Why not give us a concrete plan for fixing the economy, etc. Oh I forgot you can't because you only know how to ruin the economy. and that Sarah Palin, even worse as a choice than Quayle! So daft!

Enjoy your retirement McCain, its coming up soon!

It just does not matter to me whether Obama has ties to Ayers or not. All politicians have ties to people they shouldn't. McCain has ties to Keating, Palin has ties to the separatist group. So which is the worst, Obama's tie to a Citizen of the Year, McCain's tie to a convicted criminal or Palin's tie to a group that hates the American government. It just doesn't matter. What does matter is who I think has the calm, rational judgement to lead our country out of the financial mess. So far, McCain's judgement seems to be lacking in all areas; how his campaign is run, his knee jerk reactions, his pick of VP. This continual bashing of the other candidate is turning me off entirely; this continuing inciting of his supporters makes him even more dangerous.

NOBODY CARES ABOUT AYERS, McCain.

We care about our jobs. And you offer nothing new in that regard.

If any one has blind ambition it is John McCain. He will do anything to become the Pres just look how he is running his campaign. No honor no integrity.

McBush needs to look at him and his VP's record . They wants to see American in war, and nothing else

these people are getting out of hand, deal with the policies i really don`t care what kind of smears a person i inflict on another, nobody in this world is perfect NOT YOU Mcain 18 year young wife hmmm and your talking like this

One car, one house, one spouse.
He didn't run around on his wife.
He didn't bomb innocent women and children.
The 'terrorist' whom he 'worked' with on a board thirty years after the events had received the Citizen of the Year award, a respected professor at a university whose 'terrorism' amounted to overzealous opposition to a war John McCain supported.
So how long do you refuse to work with someone who wants to do something good for the community?
And why has John McCain agreed to continue conversations with the likes of self avowed racists in the Senate?
This is just a distration

Nice Try McCain. We KNOW the truth this time. Obama is clear and you are about to be sent packing.

ENOUGH OF THIS MCCAIN, YOU ARE LOOSING ALSO THE LITTLE DIGNITY THAT YOU HAVE LEFT!

"McCain's desperate campaign. When convenient, he worked with lies about terrorist Bill Ayers. When discovered, he lied again. McCain. Desperate Campaign. Really Bad judgment."

better yet–who is JohnMc Cain–he's no maverick–he is more of the same.he's not a uniter–he's a divider – He's not your average Joe–he's very wealthy
he's not honest–he's a liar–He can't answer real questions-he diverts to something else–he isn't upfront about his health –he's had skin cancer 4 x's – he's been against regulation until he has to change because deregulation which he loves has killed the U.S.

I can't vote for this idiot–I'M for "THAT ONE"

MCCAIN IS A GIRLY MAN BRINGS OUT HIS TWO FEMALE CLOWNS ON HIS BEHALF. CINDY TAKES A SHOT OF VODKA AND A SNORK AND COMES OUT TOUGH. GO BACK TO THE RICH TRAILOR PARK.

MCCAIN=YOUR PATHETIC! where is the mccain from 2000 seems mccain has been possesed by the devil! sara can you get your witch pastor to do something to him rid of the demons that have posessed him?

This is just plain silly. All politicians have big egos and it's funny how all the things McCain's campaign comes out with to throw at Obama can be applied, in some way, right back to McCain or Palin.

The only thing that I think might have traction is the developing Acorn voter fraud scandel. I don't think Obama is involved in any way but voter fraud is a very serious thing and it's making it difficult to register legitimate voters.

I've cast my ballot for Obama/Biden so I do hope they win..

This is beyond race,sense of entitlement and you name it.Does freedom of speech in America means putting someone's security at stake?
OBAMA IS NOT SAVE!

I guess that is all McChicken has on Obama that he thinks will win him this election??

O B A M A ' S,,,,,,,,,,,,E X P L A N A T I O N,,,,,,,,,,,,,N O T,,,,,,,,,,S UP PORTED

BY,,,,,,,,,,,,,FACTS,,,,,,,,,,,,,NOR,,,,,,,,,,,,,,PERCEPTION,,,,,,,,,,,HE'S,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I'M WAITING FOR MCCAIN TO PUT OUT AN AD ON HOW MANY TIMES OBAMA PEED THE BED AS A CHILD.

HE IS REALLY LICKING THE SCUM OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL IN THIS LAST 26 DAYS.

PATHETIC WHAT DESPERATION WILL CAUSE A MAN TO DO.

CNN, why do you post McCain's lying ads, but will not post the article written in Salon that ties two Alaska Independence Party members to the launch of Sarah Palin's political career? This reminds me of the lead up to the Iraq war where the media was silent, knowing it was a bad idea. Is this your version of fair and balanced? Don't we, as your viewers have a right to know all the substantiated information out there so we can make the best decision possible? Or are your corporate owners tying your hands and making it not worth the risk to actually do your jobs? This is pathetic. And what did you do with Jack Cafferty. As soon as he called out Sarah Palin for her pathetic Couric interview, he disappeared.

Face it the hate and division tactics won't work, McCain this is not 1950-60 and the Jim Crow playbook is outdated. The GOP needs to get over this whole division thing and realize its not about race or religion. Its about coming together and lucky for us true Americans we have Obama-Biden here to bring us together as "One Nation Indivisible".

The McCain campaign is so pathetic. You have to be a right wing fanatic with deep fanatic religious believes to vote for him. His supporters are really scaring me. I would not want to be part of that group. Being from Germany his fan base reminds me of the people that supported the NSDAP......Very scary. How can a man like McCain stand for this kind of a campaign.

All McCain knows how to do is smear. There is no substance in what he spews.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

ROTFL.....oh, make it stop...Bwhahahaha....the hilarious hypocrisy of this campaign.

McCain has his own connections to Ayers. Can you say Annenberg? Google the connections. Blind ambition, indeed.

First off, I continue to be amazed that this once respectable Senator has continued to stoop to such childish and despicable tactics.

Second, how can McCain, who has abandoned many of his principals in order to run for President, lecture anyone about "blind ambition."

And third, why is ambition so bad? I want my President to be someone driven who wants it. I don't want him or her to compromise their morals or ethics (as McCain is doing with these ads), but I have no problem with someone having ambition and the drive to achieve his goals. I thought in America that was considered a virtue?

What has this got to do with my 401(k) plan?
What has this got to do with my paycheck?
What has this got to do with my job?
What has this got to do with my ability to take care of my family?

If your answer to all the above is NOTHING. Then what does that make John McCain?

Answer: The "waterboy" for the republican party.

Congressional liberals fought against more regulation? That's rich coming from a guy who called himself the biggest deregulator a journalist could every interview. McCain can't even lead his own party. The House GOP didn't agree on the bailout bill until over one hundred million dollars in earmarks were added to it, costing millions of people to take large hits in their retirement and savings accounts while they waited it out that week. McCain is out of control at this point and he is demonstrating how he would act in times of crisis. Instead of offering sound solutions, he is trying to tie every problem we now face to some aspect of Obama. Instead of throwing mud at the wall and hoping it sticks, we need someone to clean up Washington. McCain only knows how to muddy the waters.

Ridiculous. What he lacks in substance McCain makes up for in fluff.

So, are the CNN fact checkers giving this fairy tale a workover?

McCain, bad judgement is letting people threaten someones life at you and your partner's rallies and condone it by not stopping them.

Usual lame attempt at discrediting their opponent. McCain doesnt get it! Folks are hurting & have no interest in his dishonorable tactics to divert their attention.

I can hardly wait until we can get some semblance of sanity back into the Country, and become a COUNTRY UNITED.

We lost sight of the fact that we are the UNITED STATES of America...and not just "AMERICA". All the horrible years of Bush reduced our "United" to simply....America.

Let's Unite. We are much stronger that way.

And as far as what we ALL were doing when we were eight or nine years old, well, it really doesn't matter. And what we have done to try to build up Community is admirable – regardless of who you are.

Mr. Obama was invovled in helping Community. This should NOT be derided as something trivial. Lastly, anyone who is engaged in Education reform and community will bump into Ayers. It can't be helped.

Mr. McCain, can you PLEASE get another diatribe? PLEASE?

Now can we all UNITE and become the USA again instead of plain ole' america? USA means UNITED! Shall we?

We can take four weeks of the same lame attacks from the GOP, but we can't afford another four years of Bush's failed policies under John McCain.

No weapon formed against Senator Obama shall prosper. It won't work.

Wow, McCain is horrible. What happened to the McCain of 2000? What happened to the guy who would appear on The Daily Show and I wished he was the one we picked instead of Bush.

That McCain is gone now, replaced with a mean, angry old man with a cold heart. Does he even know what the word integrity means?

One of the biggest mistakes I ever made was thinking McCain was a good person. Is there any Republican you can trust these days?

WHAT A HOOT!!! McCain's blind ambition got us into this financial mess, into the Iraq war, and into the dirtiest presidential race in modern history. YOU'RE EXPOSED, MCCain, for the REAL person you are and it's irrefutably DISGUSTING.

Mr. McCain is desperate. Ms. Palin is a 15 year old with no experience just a big mouth. What a pair!!

mccains camp are full of liars. mccain runs dirty camp

Hey Grampy...Barack was on the radio this morning explaining his relationship with Bill Ayers...guess you missed in spreading your lies in Wisconsin....Give it up OLD MAN>>>YOU ARE LOSING!!!!!!

wow he has no plan for this country.
wow, what a Bush 44!

MCCAIN IS RUNNING SCARE AND DESPERATE.

GET USED TO SEEING THINGS LIKE THIS AND MUCH WORSE OVER THENEXT 3.5 WEEKS.

WITH MCCAIN AND PALIN HAVING NO RECORDS OF THEIR OWN TO RUN ON THEY HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO SCRAPE THE GUTTER, LIE, ACCUSE, ATTACK, DISTORT.

MCCAIN IS A BITTER, ANGRY, SELF-ABSORBED, LYING OLD MAN WITH OLD IDEAS.

HE AND HIS DIMWITTED RUNING MATE HAVE NO ANSWERS, NO SOLUTIONS AND NO PLAN ON HOW TO SET AMERICA UPRIGHT, GET IT BACK ON TRACK AND STARTING TO MOVE FORWARD.

WHAT YOU ARE SEEING FROM HIS ADS ARE THE ACTS OF A MAN WHO KNOWS THIS IS HIS LAST CHANCE AND WILL SAY AND DO ANYTHING, NO MATTER HOW IMMORAL OR UNTRUTHFUL IN HIS LUST FOR THE PRESIDENCY.

MCCAIN HAS GONE FROM A MAN OF CHARACTER TO A BITTER, ANGRY, IMMORAL MAN.

LET'S SEND MCCAIN BACK TO WHINE AND MOAN IN THESENATE AND LET'S GIVE PALIN A ONE-WAY TICKET BACK TO MOOSE COUNTRY.

McCain you need to calm your supporters down at these rallies, I am seeing if this is not stop right away someone is gonna get killed

I guess that if I were John McCain, I would forget about the issues and just sling mud too.

It will be interesting, however, to see whether he has the guts to say it to Obama's face in the next debate. Obama called him out, so we'll see.

Until now, McCain has sheltered safely behind the skirts of his wife, running mate, and chief spokesperson (all attractive women much younger than himself).

Let's see if the sleazy old man can go it alone.

McWhat & PalinBambino just a bunch of cowards! This is the way they strirrr up to avoiding their CLUELESS about economic & other issues. Do they actually watch anything other than their own campaign on tv lately? Look at our stock market.......... what the f--

Both Obama and Ayers served on the Annenberg Foundation board. Isn't Mrs. Annenberg a major bundler, fundraiser for McCain? How come that is not brought up to the McCain campaign?
I would challenge anyone to find one person involved in the support of education in Chicago (especially involved with Annenberg) who doesn't know William Ayers.
Annenberg's widow just endorsed John McCain over the weekend. She thought Ayers was a stand up enough person to allow him to serve on the Annenberg board.
Does that make Annenberg a terrorist, too? And therefore John McCain is a terrorist as well??

I saw this headline and laughed so hard, I'm having trouble typing.

Pot, meet Kettle.

Best joke I've heard all day. Thanks for the laugh, Johnny.

Lordy, Lordy! What this country has come to. This is far from being the AMERICAN WAY. We should be ashamed of ourselves. This is not AMERICA. I hope the world understands that those Rep. jerks don't speak for America. Shameful and disgraceful republicans who do nothing than asking us to BRACE as our country is going down. McSame should be ashamed of himself.

Seems to me McCain is grasping at straws at this point. Time to read the writing on the wall, John, and fade away gracefully, not with such venom. This anger does not become you, it is diminishing your place in history, making you look like a bitter old man. As to his wife-get along home, Cindy, Cindy, no First Lady in my eyes.

McCain's rallies have become mad mob gathering. I think something terrible might be brewing.

when did obama suddenly become an economist ?? I know, Franklin Raines is his advisor and we all are aware of what he did to Fannie Mae.....

Bad judgment? Who is the one with bad judgment? If the lies continue it will show that McCain is the one with the bad judgment. The United States is falling apart and all McCain can say is Obama has made bad judgment. McCain needs to do a back ground check on himself and see who has bad judgment.

Desperate... McCain and Palin have little else to sell. When you see something like this you ask yourself, ..."if someone is so desperate to use trival antics like this, what makes them any different than Bush and Cheney". I voted for Bush...it was the worst mistake I ever made in supporting someone I believed in politics. I can't see myself voting for someone who will stoop so low to use anything to stay alive. Its worst than a baby rapist.

McCain and Palin and all of their hate filled cronies and supporters need to get a grip. The only way you can win is by dividing and spreading hatred. Is that really what the country wants? Maybe you do, but I definately don't.

Not working, You are just continuing to put down your own party. I don't understand why some of gop didn't tell you to shot up

McShame...come up with you economic plan! Thats what we're waiting to hear! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS economic CRISIS!??? Throw mud??? IS THAT IT?????

Obama and blind ambition??

You've got to be kidding. McCain just needs to look in the mirror at himself and then his running mate if he wants to see blind ambition. McCain is so fixated on winning this election for his own edification that he sees nothing else.

One important story that has been overlooked in the media is Sarah Palin's long relationship with the largest third party in her state, the Alaskan Independence Party. Sarah accompanied her husband to the party's convention in 1994, and although she never joined the party – she has been a registered Republican since 1982 – her husband, Todd Palin, was a member from 1995 to 2002. Governor Palin herself warmly greeted this year's Alaskan Independence Party convention, and has made no effort to disavow the party and its radical agenda.

These people will stop at NOTHING to get elected. I hope Mr McCain knows that if he does win this election he will have to hold his head in shame for the next four years on how much he lied to the people.. THAT ONE '08!

Who is Barack Obama?

Our next President.
And you can thanks W for that.

The more Mccain attacks OBAMA.........

Ah FORGET IT!!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008

Who is John McClain? Answer – one of the Keating Five. He was disciplined by the Senate – NOT cleared.

Who is Sara Palin? Answer – long time Alaska Independence Party supporter. She spoke to the Party in 2007 and 2008 – and attended meetings with her husband – who unlike the other spouses has never been interviewed by even the Republican-friendly Fox News.

Blame the economy on Bush. Hate McCain. Hate Palin. Take Zero Responsibility for the your own actions. Don't point the finger where it belongs, CEO's and stupid people taking on house notes they can't afford. Forget that Barack Obama has a history of poor judgement. He is for off shore drilling now. He ran on a ticket of change and picked a 35 year insider for the VP. The banter on these blogs sounds like 100,000 Rosanne's on Bill Maher. Talk about out of touch. I'm tired of the Bush bashing. He's not running. Democrats have been in charge the last 2 years. Isn't there fault either. Bash me. Bash Bush. Bash McCain. Bash Palin. Pro Choic... Save the Whales? You're all a constant contradiction of self and morales. Stop blogging. NO OBAMA 08'.

When John McCain talks about Hope and real Change. What he really means is he "Hopes" these negative attacks will "Change" the polls.
Well, my friend that is change you can not believe in.

Obama/Biden 08

im so scared of mccain and palin... truthfully am...... he has no substance, and uses women to attack for him..... they are a bunch of two-faced greedy individuals!! if only my vote could count for 10 lol

Umm- yeah let’s focus on this rather than the economy cause that seems like a really good idea. What's your plan McCain? Get elected and continue to blame Obama for everything? This is just ridiculous, pathetic and petty.

Yea, and John McCain has no ambition whatsoever!

I mean, he doesn't even WANT to be president, as his pathetic excuse for a campaign clearly shows.

Now listen to me Sen. McCain...I'm going to say this again...

WE

DON'T

CARE!!!!

How low can he go?

Getting desperate I see.

Keating 5 Now let's fix this economy!

I'm not sure why you are continuing to cover the negative campaign McCain in running and not covering the fact that moderate and respected Republicans, like former Governor Milliken of Michigan, are no longer supporting McCain because of the tone of his campaign. The ads and speeches McCain and Palin are making is old news and don't warrant continuing coverage. The real news in the making is the fact that McCain is destroying his campaign and his legacy as a respectable political figure in the United States.

IT IS SO HARD TO BELEIVE THAT MCAIN REALLY PUTS HIS COUNTRY FIRST.BY FERTALIZING HATERED,RACISIM,AND DIVISION DURING THESE DIFFICULT TIMES. THAT IS WHY MY HUSBSND AND I HAVE BOTH LEFT THE THIS BRAND OF REBUBLICANS,MY HUSBSND IS A DOCTOR AND I AM AN ENGINEER,WITH TWO DEGREES.I LOOK AT THE CROWD AROUND PALLIN.MCAIN AND I WONDER ABOUT THESE PEOPLE.

THIS YEAR Sarah Palin told the Alaska Indepence Party, which wants to succeed from the United States of America: “Keep up the good work,” and “And God bless you.” Plus, the "First Dude" was a member of this party for seven years.

The founder of the AIP said this: "My government is my worst enemy. I’m going to fight them with any means at hand.”

WHO is SARAH PALIN? is what we want to know.

Keating 5 Now let's fix this economy!!!

Dear John:

Maybe you would fare better if you talked about what you would do if you were elected instead of trashing your opponent.

Have you realized the economy is tanking yet?

Sincerely,
The American Voters

When was the last time McCain put out an ad about what his plans for the future were????? Didn't he claim to have a new idea? Shouldn't he be talking about it?

Blind ambition? Sounds like a line from his (McCain's) book.

McCain has lost his integrity and is showing absolutely no leadership. In the midst of the biggest economic crisis in nearly 80 years, this is what he talks about. How can anyone continue to support this man?

These are just straight out lies the republicans had the congress 6 years prior to the dems very slim control to this date.
McNOSHAME is at it again!! NOV5 is going to be interesting.

Repugs, are you seriously so uneducated and ignorant that you would really vote for McCain/Palin?

Seriously???

Enough all ready! McCain was complaining this morning that Obama has been suggesting that he and his campaign have been less than truthful? It's empty-headed commercials like this one that show why!

This is another sign of how McCain has become so erratic. Not to mention the fact that he already erred with the selection of Pailin to be his running mate. Now he cant even make her face the media for fear of what else they may find out that would be too embarrasing to his campaign. Too bad he has to resort to gutter politics to win at all costs. Country first....maybe?

john mcsame is desperate and out of touch with ordinary americans!

my god, how desperate is mccain? ,, keep up the negative,, mccain and see what happens,, you are just getting people riled up and have not proof on your facts,,,, question for you mccain? why were thos videos taken ofline here on ,, what mccain doesnt want you to know???? what are you hiding??mccain your attitude is lousy and i would never vote for you,, your temper and bad tatctics are un forgiveable,, obama/biden ,08 and beyond

To me it's pretty clear that there's only one candidate in this campaign who is blinded by ambition and who would do or say anything to win.

And it's not "that one".

geez, hilary didn't go this far because she knows it's not going to stick (plus she probably had some more sense than mccain). facts are facts, many republicans serve in the same board as ayers. did these people pay attention during the primaries?

ayers the reformed activist versus palin's membership to a secessionist group. i think the later is far far far more dangerous.

No the question is:: Who is John McCain -a sore loser! Who is Sarah Palin... – A Broad who don't know anything but claims she does. They BOTH are liars who can stick to the issues they promote hatred.

Vote OBAMA/BIDEN

Mr. Erratic McShame is out of touch with regular Americans. You are done and clueless McPain.

Get off the gas, McCain. You are making a mockery of your so-called HONOR.

Come November 5th, when McCain goes back to the Senate how can he possible look at his fellow colleagues and say what he did was truth and honesty? When all he did was lie and distort the facts in hopes of his selfish ambition.

I'm 25 and started following politics in the 2000 election- it's sad to see the McCain that was then is not the McCain that is now.

Obama/Biden '08 '12

What is the need for Obama campaign to give $800,000 to ACORN for registering bogus votes when Obama will easily win ?

America is still a democracy, not yet Socialist country.

John .... ask Cindy for one of her 'happy pills' and while you are at it ask her to supply some to me ok .. YOU are such a LOSER it is getting me down man.!

Wow the McCain campaign's desperation is showing here.

Enough Already!

How is this going to pay for my daughters education and my Father illness.
Give me a break Mr. McCain.

smells like bs from the GOP yet again

oh come on, enough, Obama has won.

Obama '08
