You tell Mr. Rendell - go get em'.

O and Joe '08

Ed Rendell , you are a good democrat , and thank you for it ., But I beg to differ with you ,….. McBush`s campaign is Stupid , thats for sure., They are also RACE BAITING , lets face it . His campaign cant win on running a clean campaign , nor can they win with the " Hate Mongering " they display……. He`s losing because he is just on the wrong side of history . He represents a " Third Term for Geo. W . Bush ", and thats a losing propsition in this election …..
The American people want , and need change , not nineteen fifties/ sixties style politics , of " FEAR and SMEAR "……

l totally agree with rendell. John Mccain is just plain dump. And now that it' gotten out of hands, he wants Obama to put out the fire he stupidly started by asking Obama to repudiate John Lewis? John one word, QUIT CAMPAIGNING IT'S OVER MAN. AND WHILE YOU ARE AT IT, REIN IN YOUR PITBULL

KEEP DREAMING RENDELL, YOU KNOW THAT OBAMA CANNOT WIN PENSYLVANIA AND YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHY, SO STOP BEING A HYPOCRITE.

Most of us have known this for quite some time!

was he 8 when he hooked up with tony rezko, or rev. wright, or ayers
no. so little is known of barack. if he says the word game changer 1 more time , i'll throw up. as being a former oprah and dr. phil watcher, That is their saying, but then again barack, has a history of taking other peoples lines, for speechs, book titles, leave "game changer" to cbs thank you

I think Randell is right here. I think some republicans are just stupid. they do not have answer to the problem facing america so they have to find something to talk!

Obama has a character? What I see is a smooth-talking charmer, arrogant and ambitious who had the audacity to give 18 million Hillary supporters the middle finger. I'll be turning the gesture on election day.

McCain picked an under-educated back-woods person who believes the Earth is 10,000 years old - what more evidence of stupidity do you need.

yep,

This is why the more Sarah Palin talks and McCain zags all over the map it helps ALL Dems.

Yeah, dumb it is!!!

I THINK YOUR RIGHT IT'S JUST PLAIN DUMB LIKE LOU DOBB I NO YOU GUYS WANT POST THIS BECAUSE IAM NOT TALKING ABOUT OBAMA IF I WAS THEN IT WOULD GET POSTED LET IT RIDE PEOPLE

I have to laugh at myself. Before the general election began, I had a argument with my friend, who is also a Democrat. I told him that I was hopeful that McCain would run a positive campaign, and that even though I would not vote for him, I always respected him. Now here we are, and it turns out I couldn't have been more wrong. McCain will go down in history as running the most dirty, hate filled campain in history. It actually makes the Willie Horton ads of 88 and the swift boat ads of 04 look kind of cute. By insinuating that Obama is a terrorist, the McCain campaign, may actually be putting Senator Obama in real physical danger. The most sad part is that he is still going to loose anyway, but he will also loose my respect.

Rendell is right!

A politician can get away with calling the mentally disabled McCain supportes dumb,because he is a God.Too bad America falls for fair and balanced reporting.CNN/FOX has fallen to glad rag status.Such a shame that the Baghdad trio is being buried in "newspeak".Shame on you CNN.

Well said governor, I disagree with you about the racial undercurrent it is alive and well living in the Palin/McCain campaign, People don't want to say that it could cause big problems but Gidget and Grandpa don't care, they have to win at any cost!!!!

I'm disappointed that macain of all people will stand and watch while his running mate is seriously damaging his chance of winning the elections. palin is involved in dangerous politics. its really unbelievable she would stoop so low inorder to get elected.if she does not have anything to talk about, please macain,ask her to keep her mouth shut.america is a great nation and requires clean and dirty polkitics. macain, what was your reaction when people in the crowd shout " kill him". do you believe that palin was doing you right when angry people show their true colours. the whole world is watching and listening to the america that is seen as a beacon of democracy and land of freedom.i trust you will listen to the voice of reason.

i agre,, the tactics of mccain have been unforgiveable,, like i said ,, they will do anything to get the votes,, they confuse people,, scared the beejeebies out of them,, almost start a riot and THEN,, mccain apologises..lol,, alittle too late,, MY FRIEND,,, you just blew it,,, if i were u mccain i would be so ashamed,,,,, run and hide

I agree with Mr. Rendell. McCain's campaign does seem to be just plain dumb. What a horrible strategy. I think he has sealed his fate by choosing this road. Especially since this country has had to deal with the stupid Bush administration for eight years. He must think that we are stupid to fall for it. If you are a praying person please put Barack Obama in the Lord's hands every morning. Also for our country, so much hate is being whipped up. I start to weep just thinking of the things I have heard.

i think your wright it's just plain dumb like lou dubb

I agree with Gov. Rendell.

It's obvious McCain-Palin's campaign is in the toilet, therefore, all they know to do is what's in their evil hearts - sow seeds of fear, hate, and division. And all of the American people need to reject them completely with the power of their vote !

They don't have any answers for the mess they have helped put this country in, nor do they know how to solve the mess. They have proven to the American people that they are too stupid and ignorant to lead this country…they are completely unqualified for the positions of VP and president.

I truly hope everyone will turn the page on this old dirty stale politics, and choose a better path. It's time for the American people to get it right and NOT vote for McCain-Palin, instead vote for change. It's time for this country to turn the page and seek a new and better future for ourselves and our children.It's time for REAL change in Washington, it's time to elect Barack Obama for president !

Obama-Biden are the wiser and stronger team to solve the crucial challenges we have in this nation and abroad !

Stupid they are

Amen. Palin is beyond stupid.

way 2 go….

Whoever is supporting McCain-Palin ticket.. I don't know what to say but SHAME ON YOU! YOU are the UnAmerican ill-mannered divisionist. Think and support America's cause. We love America and we support the one who will move our County forward..

It is sad to see the statements that are being made by the McCcain campaign. But then I shouldn't be surprised. When your network printed the lines stating that Palin had been choosen as his running mate. I thought you were playing a joke on the American people.

Why will Obama repudiate Lewis comments? He and Palin throw the worst attack in the history of political campaign and McCain approved it. Maybe he should clean up Palin's mouth and censor her rhetoric remarks. Mccain and Palin are both creating the most heneous crime, hatred and division by provocation on their speeches. Palin who was found guilty of abusing her power as Governor and telling all lies regarding her so called accomplishment as government leader have the nerve to accuse Obama?

My Governor entertains me to no end.

It is not nice to call anyone stupid.

In this country, there are 300 million people. There are people who may have higher IQ and lower IQ. There are people who have right wing value and left wing value. There are people who are white and who are black.

It is OK. We need to remember, we all mean well. We all want to do well in our lives.

The question is what kind of system we need to make everyone happy. Should we enhance federalist policies? Should we increase the power of federal government? What did States not achieve? What regulations succeeded in the past? How do we refer to Constitutions in 21st century?

In this internet age, is "congressional system" really working? Can't we create more participatory decision system on legislative activities leveraging power of internet?

President changes every 4-8 years, but these policies can not. So let's really discuss policies.

Randell is right.

he's right, if something happens to obama mccain will be in deep trouble. this little weasel mccain goes around saying country first, but time and time again he has proven that in order to win he will do anything, As a Canadian we are just shocked at how dumb some average americans are!

You are so right Gov. Rendell, they are stupid and they they the American people are just as stupid as they are.

WRONG!

YES DUMB DUMB I BELIEVE BUMB A THOUSAND TIMES DUMB SILLY PEOPLE TRYING TO DIVIDE THIS COUNTRY UPON ALL WHAT WE ARE FACING ONCE AGAIN I SAY DUMB

You're the dumb one Rendell. Do the math. Obama was 34 years old when his relationship started with Ayers.

I would like for someone to check into McCain's background and see if ther are any connections to any hate organizations. This sure sounds like hate campaigning to me. If McCain didn't agree with his running mate then why didn't he try to stop her from makeing these statements about Obama? These statements were being made two weeks ago; and no one can tell me that McCain didn't have a smirk on his face when he heard them.

I agree with Gov. Rendell.

It's obvious McCain-Palin's campaign is in the toilet, therefore, all they know to do is what's in their evil hearts - sow seeds of fear, hate, and division. And all of the American people need to reject them completely with the power of their vote !

If McCain is unable to atriculate what he can do to the economy of the country for which he was a contributor, who is going to believe Palin when she says that they will balance the budget by the end of their first terlm. Nothing she has said so far is trustworthy.

I am hoping that CNN will post this, since every other time I have tried to address this issue, my comment was either excluded or, as today, the comments were closed.

Sarah Palin's stand on abortion is scary. To say hers are radical ideas is putting it mildly. To say that government should have any influence in a woman's personal decision is wrong. I'd like to give two examples of the importance of choice.

Last year, my two best girlfriends became pregnant due to a failure of their birth control methods. Both are working mothers who are divorced. Both were in serious relationships. Neither of their counterparts, for lack of a better word, wanted to be a father. One girl has two beautiful children and the other has three. One works at a professional job and the other at two jobs. Both can barely make ends meet with the children they have. The addition of another child would have put them over the financial tipping point. Also, the children they already have rely on them for support, love and attention. The quality of life that these existing children have would have been severely compromised if either of these women gave birth. After much counseling and conversations with God, both women chose to terminate their pregnancies. It was not an easy choice, or one that God forbid, I would ever want to have to make. But they did what was best for themselves and their existing children. I'll be d#@ned if I let the government make these decisions for my fellow women!

Sarah Palin is a religious radical, she has turned campaign rallies into Klan rallies and I don't even want her to WALK by the White House, much less to become Vice President of this nation.

Do you expect anything more of stupid people? They can't help but being stupid! Palin interviews say it all!

They're not just stupid, they're dangerous. Stop it now!! Stop the bigotry and stop purging and suppressing votes. Are you trying to start a civil war? Shame, Shame, Shame.

Obama/Biden 08/12

AND YOU ARE CORRECT. THEY ARE STUPID IF THEY THINK PEOPLE ARE GOING TO FALL FOR THAT MESS AGAIN. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. OUT WITH THE LIES AND IN WITH THE CHANGE AMERICA NEEDS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mccain/palin, need to stop shouting fire. in a crowded theater…….they will likely, themselves, to get burned…………………………

John McCain has not changed who he is at all so these types of comments are just more of the typical dishonesty from the left.

BTW Ed, Ayers stated that his only regret was that he didn't do more bombing and he said this while he was buddies with Obama working with him on that committe. Just research Obama and that new socialist party thats stated goal was to infultrate the Democratic party and force their plans for America on this nation. Looks like they are going to win since it seems we cannot find enough great Americans to over take the amount of libs who are registered 72 times to vote for Obama.

From reading the comments on this forum it has become clear that whatever trace of decency or honesty that was still intact on the left has now completely disapeared. Libs feel no remorse for cheating, being dishonest, or wishing death on those who don't march to the liberal ideology as they do. Just read and listen to their words, do you really wish to side with such people?

Hmmm… they do respond to issues like the financial crisis and Palin's abuse of power by shouting:

"Muslim!….Abortion!…Terrorism!…."

My big fear is that if they win the election by distracting people, will they keep using the "winning formula" while in power?

Here is another example of stupidity and intolerance …. Mr. McCain, you need to stay away from these peanut brains.

From Yahoo news ….

"one of Mr. McCain's supporter Rev. Arnold Conrad, past pastor of the Grace Evangelical Free Church in Davenport, IA in his prayer appeared to dismiss faiths other than Christianity and cast the election as a referendum on God himself.

"I would also pray, Lord, that your reputation is involved in all that happens between now and November, because there are millions of people around this world praying to their god — whether it's Hindu, Buddha, Allah — that his opponent wins, for a variety of reasons," Conrad said.

"And Lord, I pray that you would guard your own reputation, because they're going to think that their god is bigger than you, if that happens. So I pray that you will step forward and honor your own name with all that happens between now and Election Day," he said.

Rendell you are absolutely wrong we the American people do see Palin commets of Ayers as inciting racism. Palin has incited the crowds with the Ayers statements. Today she's not mentioning Ayers but only sticking to the issues I too have heard people scream KILL HIM, TERRIOST but Palin nor McCain said nothing to stop it. It wasn't until Friday when the report was coming out about Palin, that McCain decided to quiet down the crowds because McCain didn't want the Democratic Party going after Palin and her abuse of power in firing an innocent man. The Republican party wanted the report about Palin not to be an issue and if it became an issue, they would say "SEE MCcain denounce the racist remarks about Obama. I wonder if the report had come out positive about Palin would McCain have denounce the negavity because he didn't denounce it earlier it the week. Listen my fellow Americans, the Republican party is the most crafted party at trying to switch things in their favor.. BE WARE OF WOLVES IN SHEEP CLOTHING… McCain / Palin wear their coats very well but we are onto you McCain tactics. Obama should definitely NOT apologize for Lewis because Lewis is right. McCain and Palin incited racism and brought back the 60's of the south. McCain/Palin put Obama's life even more in danger and showed no remorse. My fellow American's let's show them we can come together as one.

Rendell is trying to calm the waters and bring the focus back to the issues. No one can say that Obama, drawing on and reminding people of the McCain/Keating relationship, is not relevant. Consequently, can any McCain/Palin supporters not speak intelligently to the reality that McCaiin pulled a huge bait and switch this week in favor of mortgage bankers with the mortgage debt buyout proposal which he now saddles the American public with and his saying "it was an oversight that the correct language was not included.

Face it, McCain won't speak to any issue specifically except the Iraq war or tying his opponent to obvious racially based claims and statements.

If infact it was an "oversight", what else do you need from McCain in order to see that he is truly incapable of providing competent leadership.

McCain can dodge the issues all he wants, the fact is the American people are putting there hats in with who they think has actually articulated a clear plan. Obama might not be perfect and have the best solutions to all of our problems but at least he has a plan. We all understand what he wants to do and how it will help. McCain just wants to continue tax cuts to the wealthy, deregulate our industries, and expand the war in the middle east. How is that a strategy to fix our problems?

mr rendell is right, they are stupid
john mccain was a respectful man who would never stoop so low, then here cmes hot pants and all lies broke loose.
john has lost all respect from ever one. can he rebuild it
yes, after he rids himself of his mate and bows out of the race then tour the country and try to make amends. he needs to go on air and apolize to ever one especiall the young children who are beginning to pay attn: to politics. they got to be very confused on the way it should be run

finally someone attacks McCain for his attacks on Obama instead of sticking to the issues

ACTUALLY…….. McCain/Republicans are not stupid they are:

Greedy, mean, hateful, spiteful, liars, dividers, etc., etc.

I grew up in a Republican household, my elderly parents are still Republican. But, after voting for Bush in 2000, I realized what a huge mistake in judgement it was to vote Republican.

They lie, they say that they are Pro-life, but deny poor children health insurance.

They say they are pro-life but McCain jokes "Bomb……bomb………..bomb Iran!"

The Republican-lies-hate-divide-attack machine has become even more vile and evil in the last few weeks. Their rallies look like Klan-rallies, with angry people, even some yelling……."kill him!"

As a Christian, I am disgusted by McCain…… and disturbed by Palin.

And by the way, can you imagine IF Palin was a Democrat?? They far-right-family-values-people would have ads claiming that "Palin's an unfit mother, who has abandoned her children!"

BUT…….. the far-right-family-values people are silent on Palin. Hypocrites.

John McCain sold his soul to become the Republican nomine. John McCain and Palin started the hate and terrorist BS and now are pretending that they didn’t really mean it!

I can’t wait for Nov 4th to get here so we can finally throw out the Neo-con right wing terrorist who have plagued and ruined our country for the last 8 years.

Shame on McCain and shame on Palin for being racist tools!

Never make that mistake.

These people are NOT stupid; they are simply willing to go to any lengths to win.

They don't have to have better ideas, and they don't have to tell the truth.

They simply have to scare enough voters to get %50 +1 vote; this is the lesson that McCain learned form Bush and Rove.

Governor Rendell is being polite; he should tell us what he really thinks…..of the indecent, hypocritical, callow and shallow GOP ticket.

I get chills watching Palin smile after the crowds yell "Terrorist" or "Kill Him". Very creepy.

And it is dumb… but it is also appalling.

Sometimes i think the same thing: maybe the McCain campaign doesn't really have a strategy, maybe they are just to bone-headed to notice what's really going on around them.

Obama on the other hand has shown he's paying attention, he's adaptable, and he's shown true strength and leadership throughout this campaign.

I Agree . . . The Mccain Camp Is Full Of Idiots!

I don't know about dumb, but has anyone noticed that Sarah Palin is beginning to sound like Ann Coulter? Rabid but increasingly articulate.

That's straight talk right there.

I don't know about dumb, but has anyone noticed that Sarah Palin is beginning to sound like Ann Coulter? Rabid but articulate.

The same dumb people who pretend govern the nation. People who vote for mccain/palin need to get their heads examined

Palin is asking the media to question Obama, really?

What about you miss Palin and your Alaska mess?

You tell 'em, Gov. Rendell!!!!

McCain and Palin are clearly trying to get Obama killed.,, even if they will not admit it to themselves. Anyone with a rational mind can see they are trying to make Obama look like a secret muslim terrorist that will hurt America. Some nutcase is going to think he is being a good American if he kills Obama.
If that goes down… it will rip America apart. Someone needs to talk sanity into McCain before it is too late. This mixed message bs is not going to work. McCain needs to flat out stop with the terrorist with a muslim name.. wink wink… shadow email smear campaign.
Will someone please talk to him?

Mcbush and Palen are finished, the people want answers, not more lies. and rhetoric.

Mcbush has not come with a plan for the future of America, only slanderous attacks.

Gov. Palin was found guilty of abuse of power in Alaska; she is still guilty of abuse of power on the campaign trail for Senator McCain. She was dead wrong to say "Obama pals around with terrorist." Gov. Palin is leading angry people down a dangerous road to wave of riots similar to those in the 1960s.

He has said what he will do. I'm sorry he doesn't constantly repeat himself the way Obama does. I mean for real… If I hear "the economy just shows us the failures of the last 8 years overseen by George Bush, supported by John McCain" one more time I'm going to scream. He's not actually saying anything. I watched an entire speech of Obama's on CNN one day when the bailout was still being discussed (and notice he was giving a speech on Green Bay, and not actually doing something in Washington) and he didn't offer up solutions. He merely stated the obvious things that need to be included in the bailout, said how bad of a President Bush has been, and tried forcing the connection between him and McCain. I'm still waiting to hear how you want to pay for all of your spending if you're cutting my taxes Sen. Obama.

mcINSANE needs an apology from Gov.Rendell.McCain is really desperate.

When will we get more info on the CURRENT and on-going friendship of McCain and G. Gordon Liddy - the guy from watergate that worked to subvert our Constitution? I know he was buddy buddy on Liddy's talk show last November.

When will we get those details?

McCain is trying SO hard to make something stick. Nothing will…it's too late for that. Obama will be our next President, and there will be celebrations across the country.

i wonder if palin doesn't make it to washington, is she in line to get a job at fox [hypocrite] news after nov 4th. she sounding like sean hannity and rush limpbraugh is running her talking points on the campaign trail now days.
