I love how John McCain calls Obama a socialist after he planted Joe the not-plumber (did I mention he's also a tax evader). McCain is the one who wants the government to buy all these homes. Should the government be owning the homes of private citizens? That's worse than socialism. It's more like communism. And what about the college student who was arrested in Maine for holding up an Obama sign at a Palin (secessionist) rally? I thought we had free speech in this country, but I guess McShame and Hockey Mom don't agree.
OBAMA '08!

Hey everybody, I'd just like to point out the obvious here. I have read through every comment here, and it's sad and troubling to see that McCain and Palin are being so successful in dividing our great country! They have instilled hatred into their base and it's disgusting to say the least. It is one thing to disagree with anothers policies, but it's downright dangerous and immoral to attack an opponent as unAmerican, a terrorist, a danger. Using these scare tactics is abhorrent.
It's sad to have to explain to my young children that they should never act the way McCain and Palin have been acting. I try to teach my kids to be fair, respectful of others even when they are in disagreement, and to never ever incite hatred for another human being. So they asked me recently, "well, how come that man and lady can do those bad things, don't they know the rules?". No, I guess they don't..maybe they need to go back to kindergarten and learn them!!! Thanks McCain and Palin for being such a poor example for America's children. I get the feeling the kids of those predjudist people at your rallies who are yelling "kill him", "terrorist", and "bomb Obama" aren't teaching there kids how to be good American citizens!! Way to go!

To Real_American
October 18th, 2008 11:52 pm ET "We all know John McCain, but who is the REAL Barrack Obama?"— I agree, we all know John McCain, a misogynistic, angry, entitled, greedy, deceitful, desperate, divisive, pathetic, adulterer who sold whatever respect and ideals he had left for one last shot at the White House. Oh yeah, he was also a POW during the Vietnam War. As for Barack Obama, he has told and shown you "who" he is time and time again, you simply refuse to listen or pay attention.

well we lost the real america eight years ago to the bush and if we are not carefull to the sinster mccain and palin. tell me who is using negative tactics at there rally.

Well, I guess the "real" Virginia is like being in parts of America that are, uhm, "pro-American." At what depth of lowness will the McCain campaign be proud to hit? This is uttlerly ridiculous.

I live in Northern Virginia and unless you have traveled throughout the state, I can see how one would be offended by the "real Virginia" comment. But the truth is that the state is broad and complex with significanty different driving issues to the south and west compared to Northern Virginia. Most of the rest of Virginia actively claims that Northern Virginia isn't really Virginia. It wasn't until I drove through other parts of the state that I realized WHY there is that feeling among other Virginians. We are all Virginians but many Northern Virginias do have a different focus than the majority of the state.

I am a real Virginian, just as my parents, grandparents, and great grandparents were. Where is the real McCain? I am ashamed for him. Has he all ways been this way? If he has then we need to ask who is the real McCain, not who is Obama!

Senator Mc Cain, please stop bringing your divisive attitude to our proud state. And by the way, Sara Palin's ethics are lacking . As far as this real Virginian is concerned, she can't return to Alaska fast enough for me. Real Virginians don't like her spreading her hatred in our red, white and especially "soon to be BLUE " state. Richmond, the real Virginia, a pro-American state.

Real Americans vote for a real man, a real hero, or a tested soldier, a real commander-in-chief in a dangerous world, after 9/11, and not a smooth talker, or a flip-flopper, like Obama. We all know John McCain, but who is the REAL Barrack Obama? American people are smarter than that.

Was Northern Virginia part of 'the real Virginia' when it was pro Bush just a few years ago? Makes no sense.
Obama / Biden 08-16

Scott in Norfolk–your political insight is amazing.

You must have attended the School of Palinism for your political savvy.

Let McCain try to win Virginia without Northern Virginia. The voters in Northern Virginia count too, whether McCain thinks they are real Virginians or not.

Please… someone… anyone… Joe the Plummer, a soccer mom or dad, even a pig with lipstick… Ask Sarah if she even knows what "socialism" is and how it applies to Obama!!!

All she's doing is stirring the hate/fear base of "real" America who might be convinced by such shameful, wrong rhetoric. McCain, himself, should know better and put a stop to it… because it harms ALL of America…

I would rather have a socialist Obama than a lying, cheating, pathetic, desperate, whacko like John McCain. He gets worse everyday. Mental problem for sure.

That's like Palin's comment implying that some of America is not pro-America because we don't side with McCain. Well at least their party is consistent.

I guess the McCain campaign's true colors are showing. Earlier this month Joe McCain, John's brother, called Arlington and Alexandria, VA, "communist country."

After that wasn't received too well he tried to explain it away as a joke. Now what would have happened if Barack or Joe or any of their surrogates said that? We'd still be hearing about it today!

Now McCain and Palin think they have the authority to label who's more American and who's not based on geographical preferences? Seriously? This beyond in insulting. These two need to go down and go down hard so that the American people NEVER have to suffer through another campaign as pathetic, xenophobic and divisive as the one the McCain/Palin have waged..

Hey Jessica in VA,

My family came to Virginia in the 17th century, I went to college instate, and now live in Northern VA. Remind me again, why am I not a "real" Virginian??

This man and his thugs will stop at nothing. I hope everyone remembers all of this when they go to vote and they are temped to do it for ANY REPUBLICAN. They really have to learn that their crap has got to stop and that we will no longer allow them to do this to us. If we vote for them then we are asking for what they dish out.

America will not be same again after this election…it will be even worse under McCain with palin…she is so divisive

WELL DID MCSAME SAY HE WASENT GEORGE BUSH , MR MCAIN GOING BYE YOUR CAMPAIGN YOUR EVEN WORSE THAN GEORGE BUSH .

"Obama stands for Socialism, plain and simple."

Really?

Fascinating!

So much to be proud of, Repubs!

I have seen and had enough. John McCain, Sarah Palin and there whole damm sick, twisted, terrorist thinking campaign can go to hell. I just finished watching the Chris Matthews show and according to him there is more slime to come. The McCain campaign is all about preaching and I did say preaching terrorism. Take the hint. All republicans have to be really stupid to believe any of this crap. If they do then John McCain, and his entire campaign are pushing terrorism. There I said and I am not taking it back.

Scott in Norfolk

I thought the republicans were socialist since they bought out the financial system (banks) in wall street. second, the republicans say that they are bipartisan and work across the aisle specifcally McCain. Yet the republicans alienate democrats by saying we are unamerican. does not sound bipartisan to me.

His ‘Straight Talk’ motto seems to have no principlies anymore.
The McCain campaign is embarrasingly unethical and dishonest. To think a man who at one time was ruined, hurt, and violated by the same tactics used on him. Rove and other campaign managers blasted McCains reputation and now he has chosen to sell his soul.
We are forced to watch Nancy Pfotenhauer practice her brand of phony, over-smiling condescending reiteration of annoying Republican talking points far too often While some might say that Nancy is just full of Botox and lip filler, I think she's full of crap. Nancy is allow lie after lie to be repeated to the press without challenge.

We shall all see; Americans can no longer be fooled….That is The World's greatest nation!!……But l don't really think that McCain has anything tangible to tell Americans except to attack Barack. One wonders why he has not been telling Americans what he would do if elected instead of bullying Barack. The younger candidate has proved to be more sensible with a real plan for America but maybe it is McCain's age that is making him to behave the way he has been behaving. May God save America from McCain

Looked it up in Websters online:

Terror:

1. A state of intense fear. 2. One that inspires fear.

Terrorism:

A systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion.

What a sad state this country is in. I just finished watching a segment of the HBO series John Adams. There were a ton of problems at that time, namely the British but what did the leaders do? They united! It is so say that John Mccain says "Country first" but he is anything BUT! He is Mccain first – all this made of BS about Obama to scare the people – I hope Karl Rove politics will fail this time.

Could what McCain and Palin are doing with this divisiveness be considered home grown terrorism? I'll have to look up the definition, but isn't terrorism related to fear and scare tactics?

All of Virginia is the "real Virginia". Just because you do not like who is moving in does not mean it's not reality. The state is changing…and that's REAL. F off, lady.

. . . and we supposed to believe McSame, Palin, and Republican supporters like Nancy Pfotenhauer will do a better job in bringing the country and other nations together. Yeah, , , right.

GOD Bless the United States of America!
GOD Bless the Obama-Biden Leadership Team!

JMH How dare you insult Americans for not wanting to lose their sons, husbands and children losing their fathers. I thank God you made it back but what about my friend's husband and others who didn't. We honor your service, but YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TELL US HOW TO FEEL!!!

What is wrong with those people ???Shame on McCain and his supporters. What hate and disrespect.
YES WE CAN & YES WE WILL
Obama/Biden

RNC Pundits="Gracious" Racists

How ghetto. the RNC is pimping the 'Stepford chicks' as their spokespersons.

Obama stands for Socialism, plain and simple.
VA for McCain-Palin

Maybe some of these Repubs need their own country. Follow Palin back to Alaska; she will make it happen. LOL.

Obama / Biden 08

I am really scared about the outcome of this election. I was confident thinking Obama is going to win. But now with the kind of campaign McCain is running ,they are scaring people and few biased media people are helping them to get away with it. We don't deserve this.
With McCain and Palin in the white house what is going to happen to this country.

I use to live in Virginia and travel all over the state,North,south,east, and west ievery part is Virginia an filled with the most nicest and pro-americian people you would ever want to meet,these Mccain people say more stupid things day after day…Please turn Virginia Blue…

With a campaign like his, who needs an opposition to defeat you? For a basically decent guy Sen. McCain has spent far too much of the past year kicking himself in the backside.

McCain and Palin are becoming more evil by the minute. It will be a nightmare to live in this country if they win, because they will continue to foster the hate and division they are enjoying so much now.

Congressman Lewis was wrong about the McCain campaign rallies. Some of their tactics would make even George Wallace wince in disgust.

Wow, now they're questioning the patriotism of the American people.
GOOD JOB GUYS.

POST PLEASE CNN!

First they insult Chicago
Then label some parts "pro-America"
Then define "real Virginia"

They must not want to win this election

OBAMA-BIDEN 08

McCain and Palin make me vomit in my mouth.

First we have "pro-America" v. the rest of America. Now we have "real Virginia" v. "communist Virginia?" When is this going to end? I am completely disgusted with the way this campaign is trying to divide the country. Is McCain the reincarnation of McCarthy? I can't wait for Nov 4 when the "socialists" win!!

She is right on about her comment about NOVA – It has changed dramatically over the past 10 years.

A buddy of mine was at the rally. There was a 3 mile line to get in so – some of those people had toliet plungers. WAY TO GO JOE!

As far as you people commenting on the pro-American thing. Flat-out McCain supported us (including me) when I was in Iraq – That makes him more American to me than both Obama and Biden combined. All I heard the whole time I was in Al Anbar was how bad our morale was and how we were losing from the whole dem party. WRONG ANSWER. We're at the 10 yard line and all you guys want to do is PUNT. I watched tens of thousands of Iraqi's walk up to ten miles to vote for the 1st time in the history of their country and Obama and the gang want to pull out because they don't have the stomach to let VOLUNTEERS FINISH the job. You're real, real concerned about the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi's that will die when the country colapses if we pull out early. 99.5% of you have been at the mall for the past 7 years and haven't been remotely touched by anything that has gone on in Iraq or Afghanistan- By the way – we fought terrorists from over 30 countries who came to Iraq to kill us – I'd put the target on my back again and again to make sure they go anywhere other than here. Typical Dems – you sound like me little kids – Its too hard, I can't do it, I want to quit.

Real Virginia? Racist Virgina?

McCain and his followers are some hateful folks.

I am so sick and tired of these labels: 'not real Virginia", not real (not patriotic) American…. What is next? Not real people? How come so many McCain/Palin supporters still did not realize that the entire McCain/Palin campaign is a scam? Fake maverick – McCain; fake ‘reformer’ – Palin; even fake plumber – Joe. They probably believe that they can fool most of the people most of the time. McCain and Palin bravado is just a complete lack of knowledge. They are attacking Obama like vicious dogs, accusing him of anything and everything. It is pathetic! McCain is definitely erratic and delusional. And Palin…? Well, David Brooks said, Sarah Palin ‘represents a fatal cancer to the Republican Party’. Goodbye, ‘my friends’. I hope I will not see you again soon.
Elvera, 65-year old white female from Texas

John McCain claims to be "hurt" by Congressman Lewis's comments. Yet he allows supporters to sport Soviet symbols and Muslim symbols as references to Obama. Can he be so blind with ambition not to see the hatred and division his campaign and running mate have sown? And what is this nonsense about some parts of America being more patriotic than others? It is time this country to repudiate these hate mongers.

bunch of Macacas?

What was said is the truth! ( the real virginia ) is for mccain!! up north they are democrats.

i do not see what is so insulting about that !!
you are voting for the democrat !!!
\

mccain 2008

What next? Are they going say that some Americans aren't American.

It seems like every time I check out these ticker reports, I find yet another example of the Republicans splitting up our fine country into some pieces that they find more acceptable than others. Palin's pro-American small towns vs. Washington, Pfotenhauer and her "real" Virginia vs. northern Virginia, the ridiculous Rep. Michele Bachmann from Minnesota insinuating that those with leftist views in the House are possibly anti-American and that the news media should launch an investigation…… Is this what we really want to establish here in America, an us. vs. them mentality? I think this is extremely dangerous, and divisive rhetoric, and if it is not tempered, I am afraid of the kind of anger, hate, intolerance, and violence that could result. It breaks my heart to hear and read this kind of stuff in 2008. I always thought that what makes America truly unique… truly great…is the freedoms we are granted, and the diversity of our nation. In my opinion, it is these kind of divisive politics that are Un-American.

The republiklas need to remembers a couple things: Joe the Plumber was planted by the Mccain campaign. He isn't a real plumber, he's no small business owner, yet he seems to have connections to a major player in the Keating 5 scandal. Joe the Plumber is a gimmick pulled straight from the Rove playbook. He is the new incarnation of William Horton: a great tool that cost Dukakis the 1988 election against George Bush. They are now using this character, the plumber, to make the false argument that Obama is a socialist for trying to increase taxes on the richest 5% of this country's population (when all he wants to do is to simply reverse GWBush's cuts for the rich to the tax rates of the Reagan-era), a group in which the Plumber doesn't belong. They speak of socialism, while ignoring that the republican president effectively nationalized the financial sector with his bailout plan! How can you talk about socialism when your own party leader is turning private capital to the State?

MAN HAS SOME MENTAL ISSUES, DOESN'T HE ?

How can a man who is working so hard to divide this nation possibly expect to become its leader? The nastiness that characterizes his campaign is almost beyond belief. We must all speak loudly against everything this pathetic, peevish old man stands for.

The "divide and conquer" tactic seems poor stratagy to win Virginia to me. Todd Palin going to "more favorable" areas?? Maybe those conservative "upstate" citizens should take their first and second ammendment rights and go meet him, just for fun, you know, because surely the good people wouldn't be so poorly mannered as to throw gum at a visitor in their state?? I do feel sorry for Mr. McCain, as I believe he has in the last 6 months become a "fallen from grace" hero. Gone is the pride, integrity, honesty and even the courage to "talk straight", my friends. I also believe his judgement has been shown to be VERY SERIOUSLY challenged, in his VP pick. He was duped by Sarah Palin, and all those in his campaign who pushed her agenda. He says he's learned from his mistakes, but recent history shows otherwise. One last thing, touting his constant "reaching across party lines, and fighting the even the Republicans" on so many occasions, makes one think he would like it if there was just all one political party in our "democratic society". Sound dangerous? Vote for Mr Obama.

Oh great. We are not only dividing the country, we are now dividing states. Wonderful!

Is this the real America?????..I'm just disgusted

throwing gum at a media person? good thing there were no rocks or rifles close by for that woman to use.

This is nothing than racist, because most people who live close to DC are black that's the reason she says people who live north Virginia not a real Virginia shame on you Mcsame.

From the article: "Right outside the entrance to the outdoor venue, a sign urging voters to "stop Barack Obama" featured the Soviet hammer and sickle, and the Muslim crescent."

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R – Minnesota) has now urged the media to investigate members of Congress who harbor anti-American views.

Forget George Wallace, it appears Jim Crow and Joe McCarthy are running the McCain-Palin campaign. If it quacks like a duck…….

"Real" republicans are tired of the nonsensical spin, I bet.

Dana bash needs to go work for fox news . her bias shines through everytime i see her do a report on the obama campaign. Compared to when she is reporting on the mccain campaign. She is smiling and very upbeat about her report. Please fire this woman she is giving cnn a bad reputation.

Still not guts you won't print the truth but you can read this about you anywhere on the Internet.

Oh, I get it…."real Virginia"…"folks who love America"….So only if you're a Republican can you get a label like this. The rest of us (Independents and Democrats), must not love America…..
Where is the outrage?

Is mr dude going south to try and get the south to seceed with alaska?

too many people are coming to texas from socialist states, they bring thier bad morals.

john you can pull out all the nonsense you want but come nov 4, lose you will! and i can't wait

I thought that the 'real Virginia' reference was intriguing. I was watching that interview on CNN and it raised my eyebrows. So are all of the "red" areas on the map the 'real U.S.A.?' haha

As is the usual tactic for Republicans,

Slice-N-Dice the population, further insulate divisions within our population. Feed your politics on fear and anger instead of vision and substance.

I swear, everything he states is a repeat to what he has said before. I never really cared too much about politics, but this one is like a freaking soap opera. Everything that McCain and Palin say is like a Friday cliffhanger…..makes you ask what is going to happen next. Just so you know Mr. McCain, we've got YOU where we want you…on your way back to Arizona.

Well from probably Palins less American regions. Advance voting opened today in New Mexico and two of the first one in the box were for OBAMA!

McCain palled around with a convicted terrorist (G. Gordon Liddy)

So she isn't a real Virginian then, if she lives in Northern Virginia.

I think she just made herself irrelevant… much like the rest of McCain's campaign.

These people dreaming man for real, Mcsame its almost over old man…Its almost time for Sara Palin go back to Alaska…I'm sick tired hear this lady every day talking nonsense stuff.

Don't you just love the McCain Campaign's focus on dividing our country. 'Country First' my butt! Keep on tearing the country apart you nit wit.

I for one am looking forward to the end of you and your crooked cronies and look forward to the McCain/Palin ticket getting slapped back to reality on November 4.

Really? The "real" Virginia? Does anyone remember the Tyson-Holyfield fight in 97? Tyson being gamely beat the first two rounds and was so desperate he bit Holyfield's ear! Is it only a matter of days before McCain tries to nibble on Barack?

I love Virginia. Great presidents have come from there and there pictures are on some of our currency. I'm proud to say that Washington and Jefferson are two of the finest.

Unfortunately Obama is trying to buy this election with money from the welfare queens checks. Don't let him do this.

Obama is a well known liar and a man who listened to Reverend Wright say the wrong things for twenty years.

Obama also told Joe the Plumber he needed Joe's money for wealth redistribution "which is code" for new welfare programs.

Obama has voted 94 times to increase taxes and as far as I know never voted to reduce them. So a tax cutter, he is not.

McCain will protect our values our country and our retirements.

These are pipe dreams. McCain is going to get a big beating in the election….17 days and counting. Don't believe a word that old man and his bumbling side kick say over the next two weeks. It's all GOP politics designed to scare you!

Is that the BIGGEST sign you could find, McCain?

McCain and his supporters is a disgrace to America,calling Obama names,throwing a pack of gum at CNN Ed Henry, and McCain never ask them to stop, McCain & Palin is incouraging his supporters, like how he hired Joe the Plumber. McCain you are a disgrace to us the American people.

Getting pretty scary out there on the ground folks. Death threats to people in the Chicago burbs who have Obama yard signs. The McCain Robocalls are also leading some of the more extreme people to believe that Obama is in league with Al Qaeda style terrorists.

"The line has become a familiar one – and drew a now-familiar reaction from the strongly-Republican crowd, which began booing and chanting “Liberal media!” One woman threw a pack of gum at CNN Correspondent Ed Henry.

Right outside the entrance to the outdoor venue, a sign urging voters to "stop Barack Obama" featured the Soviet hammer and sickle, and the Muslim crescent."

And this is crowd of people he calls 'my friends'. When will John McCain realise that he appeals to an ignorant, simplistic, intrinisic violent crowd who will always resort to some sort of negative and nasty verbal and physical behavior. Obama had a crowd of 100 000 people in Missori today. Was there anyone shouting hateful rhetorics and becomeing physically violent with the reporters or news team? I think not…

WEll, go figure…

More divisive politics from the GOP. Please people, you don't have to agree with all of a candidates politics, help chose a leader that will bring the Country together based on our similarities, not divide us on our differences.

I cannot begin to tell you how insulted I am by that comment. I used to live in Burke and Chantilly, both part of Northern Va., and even though it isn't "southern" like the rest of the state, it is still Virginia.

"That One" 08

"Right outside the entrance to the outdoor venue, a sign urging voters to "stop Barack Obama" featured the Soviet hammer and sickle, and the Muslim crescent."

just let that keep happening, mccain. shows us exactly what you are willing to do to win this race…

First the whole Palin thing about who's more pro-American, now this. /shakes head

So now according to McCain/Palin campaign is only "real Virginia"…"Pro-America"???

The republicans are really trying to divide this country. "Good guys v. Bad guys"…"Pro-America v. Non-Pro America"…"Real Virginia v. Non-Real Virginia"…"Christians v. Non-Christian…"…"Obama doesn't see America as "we" do…"

What's next??? Separate water fountains for democrats and republicans.

I'VE HAD IT WITH MCCAIN AND PALIN AND TRYING TO DIVIDE THIS COUNTRY!!! The year isn't 1960 but 2008!!!

What is with these people? The only 'real' American parts of the country are the parts that vote Republican?! Give me a break!

The republican party has divided this country into 'pro-americans' and 'anti-americans'. If you agree with the republicans you are viewed as being 'pro' if you don't then you are 'anti'. How are they going to reunite americans should they by some misfortune be elected in Nov? McCain and Palin have come out with the most divisive comments I have ever heard! They have worked the crowds up and convinced people that the Democrats are 'anti' america, that they hate america and want to destroy the american dream. This is so far removed from reality! There are brave men and women in the military that are democrats – they are NOT anti america – they are fighting to protect the american dream. Yet they have been insulted by the republicans. How sad. I cannot imagine a peaceful, uniting McCain/Palin presidency.

Obama/Biden 08

Wow! The crazies are coming out of the woodwork. Now they are dividing parts of states that don't agree with them. Maybe the "real" part of Virginia could become South Virginia. There's already a West "by God" Virginia.

A radical redistribution of wealth by the state _is_ socialism, and a longstanding tolerance for radical black liberation theology _is_ the moral equivalent of embracing equally delusional Islamists.

Boy oh boy – McCain has stooped as low as he can go. The Republican party have done an amazing job with propaganda. They have worked hard at convincing Americans that it is not the governments duty to 'help' its people in any way. If you are having any kind of difficulties you are on your own. The government however will happily tax you and give you FREE schooling, libraries, police, firemen, etc etc, however, they cannot provide free health care. Nope you are on your own there – that's socialist to provide free healthcare to those that cannot afford health insurance! Oh and then they convince you that its ok for health insurance companies to make a profit out of your illness, these health insurance companies get to decide if treatment is really necessary and then what treatment is necessary. Your doctor may not agree, but if the insurance company wants you to get a certain type of treatment then thats all they'll pay for. Come on America – lets stand up and unite for a better future.

Obama/Biden 08

So democrats aren't 'real Virginians'? Is this like when you guys said some parts of the US were more pro American than others?
What gives you the right to dismiss a large portion of a population or particular ethnic groups you don't like?

Wow, McBrainless loves palling around with a bunch of air heads….

The "real" Virginia? The "pro-America" parts of America? "John the plumber" as a representative of wannabe small business owners? Who are these people playing to anyway?

Good Lord – what's wrong with these people!

This is not my America, these actions are shameful. McCain has lost all honor and dignity. He is pandering to the lowest common denominator.

Unbelievable.

Well, since DC is denied the basic rights of any US citizen to have voting representation, even though we pay taxes just like everyone else, good for Northern Virginians who are part of the "DC metro" and not "real" Virginia for using the vote they have.

The strategy of belittling those who aren't decidedly in your camp seems unlikely to improve one's chances of winning.

To the minorities that were PAID by McCain and camp during this election, WE can’t wait to see which ONE of you BECOME the NEXT Presidential nominee for the Republicans party in 2012. Per campaign surrogate Nancy Pfotenhauer statement……….."REAL Virginia’s – ONLY live in Northern Virginia", that right she is telling us what her and McCain REALLY think about the voters in OTHER cities in Virginia.

Seeking MINORITY Presidential nominee's for 2012, who live in Northern Virginia falling for McCain and camp bull

I WORK for McCain and I approve THIS recuit……BETCHA!!!!!!!!!!

Just pitiful…….and dont they really need to win virgina?

McLame and his gang still depending on lies, hate and misinformation instead of explaining his plans and policies. With Palin taking about 'pro-American parts of the US and now Nancy Pfotenhauer mentioning that part of Virginia is 'did not represent the ‘real’ Virginia'. Is McManiac and his posse trying to drive a wedge between people/ethnicities in America?

How can anyone still consider voting for this morally bankrupt campaign?

I live in Va. Beach and I'd say it is " Real Virginia" . I usally vote Republican, but this year, I am going blue. Nancy Pfotenhauer do not speak for me or the millions of " Real Virginians " that will vote for Barack Obama. We will deliver this state to a Democrat for the first time in 44 years. History will be made.

this is typical of how they think. us and them.

It's a shame that these "supporters" of Sen. McCain are too ignorant to realize the contradiction in calling Sen. Obama both a Soviet-style socialist and a radical Muslim.

OH PUH-LEEZE….

If the McCain camp think Voters are STUCK ON STUPID they've got another thing coming on Nov. 4th!!!

This whole notion that if they continue to "recycle" the same lies it will somehow resonate as the truth.

You have to wonder just WHO is McCain's Aides really trying to convince here? The Voters or THEMSELVES?

If this is their lame argument, I can honestly see what Johnny boy is losing big time. I mean, if you listen to Tucker Bounds and all the other "Blonde and Blue-Eyed" Bimbos he has spewing these ridiculous lies, it truly becomes COMIC RELIEF!!!!

What a bunch of clowns!!

I've already voted here in Southern Va…looks real to me.

Obama '08

My God, what are McCain and Palin perpetuating in this country? They've aimed it all at Obama and Biden. Racism. Dangerous political rallies. Socialism. Terrorististic connections. Arab. Islam. They've even called Obama the Anti-Christ. These people will do anything to win an election. This has to STOP NOW. We should all, Democrats, Republicans, Independents and even people who hate politics and never vote, rise up and call for an end to this. What is happening here is frightening. And it's like a tide that gets stronger as time goes by.

Obama/Biden 2008 for America's sake.

just what part of Virginia are mccain and palin calling not real, VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN, EVERY PERSON AND EVERY STATE IS REAL WITH OBAMA-BIDEN.

itsa really very sad and pathetic how McCains campaign and Palin have sunk so low to try and divide states as *real* and *pro* America
its a sad day in America when a candidate stoops to such devisive
hateful tactics.No wonder people are wandering around like crazies
McCain and Palin do NOT deserve to win!!!!
they are a disgrace in my opinion

How can the media let this hate continue, are they waiting until after the election to see if they can help McCain win. What gives!!

Why does the "liberal" media put up with this rhetoric? Don't cover their campaign and then we will see them begging for your return.

Is Pfotenhauer's "Real Virginia" also one of Palin's "Pro-America" areas? The divisive rhetoric of the McCain campaign neither serves his bid for election or the country as a whole. That is why Obama's message of hope and change has resonated with so many people over the last 20 months.

Simply idiots.

Go Obama / Biden 08 and 12

And this is how you Pro-American? I am so embarrased to be called a Republican right now. This crap has no place in a Presidential election. I think I may become an independent when this is all over so I can be patriotic without hate for my fellow Americans.

Mccain/Palin is not the leaders that I want my family to look up to they encourage their supporters to show hate and anger to others and that is so dangerous No to Mccain/Palin.

I'd say this is unbelievable except I've been paying attention for most of this campaign…the Republican party only has left the extremists and the right wing nuts that would rather point a finger at Barak Obama and resort to name calling and childish antics (throwing gum? are you in kindergarten?) to try and make their point.
I'd have a whole lot more respect for Republicans if they could actually address the issues at hand. But they'd much rather yell "socialism"…I wonder how these Repubs would feel if they had their Social Security taken away…

Does this guy (McSame) EVER change the language in his stump speeches? The smallest things tell the biggest stories — so ponder this thought: if elected, will McSame's approaches to our problems be one or two ideas he repeats over and over and over?

Too bad about the real Virginia, huh? Wonder what NOVA's think about that?

Republicans at their best!!
Accuse the Democrats of dividing the nation while one adviser defines the "real Virginia" while their sheep accuse Obama of being a communist and a Muslim.

Voters please pay attention and note who is pitting Americans against Americans. It is time to stop the Republicans.

And by their definition, only those who vote for McCain are "real" Americans.

Four years after Barack Obama proclaimed, "We are not red states, we are not blue states, we are the United States of America," John McCain seeks to push exactly that wedge, now dividing brother from brother even within a single state.

Next stop, he'll proclaim the Red States of America are seceding from the Union. With Sarah Palin of the Alaska Independence Party as Queen, it makes perfect sense.

I LIKE THIS POST, ENJOY–
So wait wait wait a second…

How can Obama be both a Socialist and a Muslim palin' around with terrorists at the same time?!! You fruit loops can't even get your own propaganda straight.

HINT: Most extreme Muslim regimes are ULTRA RIGHT WING FANATICS. You can't be a looney Muslim extremist and a Socialist at the same time!

I doubt Gov. Palin even knows what Socialism even means. Maybe Sam the Tax Evader can clue her in – he seems more qualified for the job.

NOVA (Northern VA), Hampton Roads, Southwest VA….we are all Virginians! And guess what….we are for OBAMA and BIDEN!!!
Turning VA blue right here from Blacksburg, Virginia!!!
With Hope and Hokie Pride!
Obama '08!
Cause'
Yes We Can!!!

Palin said it too… These crazy Republicans believe that the "real" and "patriotic" parts of the country mean REPUBLICAN. They have the "You're with us or against us" mentality.

To all Obama supporters… Do NOT underestimate these ring wing looney's. We ALL must get out and vote. The simple truth is that there are more of US!

I hope McCain loses Virginia. This has to be the worst campaign ever run.

And it looks like these rallies are still being as hateful as ever. How sad.

More divisiveness from the McCain/Palin campaign.

The Republicans will lose this state and the general election by a Land Slide. Anybody wanna bet?

Disgusting! I can't wait til the john-sarah-cindy-todd circus packs up and leaves town.

When is mccain going to stop blaiming the media for his down fall, the media has not written him off voters have written him off !! he needs to stop his nonsense and start taking the blaim for his own bad judgments. starting with palin!!!!!

Let me clear something up, I too am from VA, the so called real VA (tidewater area). Like the rest of the country VA is ready for change. I came home this weekend and was very much surprised to see all of the obama signs in people's yards. People are voting early and everywhere i turn i see Obama stickers. Mark me words McCain, Obama will take VA, and we're excited about it.

Anyone on either extreme of the civil war McCain and Palin are desperately stoking who believes pragmatic, centrist Obama will deliver anything remotely resembling socialism, let alone communism, is seriously delusional. I mean, what are we talking about here folks? A 3% increase on earned (i.e. wages or salary or net profit) income over $250,000.

Do they offer math in plumbing school? The McCains pay 10% less in taxes on Cindy's $4 million income than the average plumber, electrician, cop or teacher.

I am a Virginia native from the southern part of the state. I don't believe NOVA is any less a part of the real Virginia than any other part. I'm tired of the McCain-Palin campaign's notion that if you aren't from a small town than you aren't American enough. Now if you're from the metropolitan areas of Virginia, then you're not "Virginian" enough. They need to get a grip and realize that republican policies just aren't working for this country nor are they working for Virginia.

McCAin claims to be a fighter
He knows how to fight wars, He fights his own party, blah blah blah
Doesn't he understand I myself am tired of the fighting!
Gridlock in the congress not being able to get nothing done
He screams that he can work with the other party to get things done that he has done it before , But how in the world can he do it again with the way that he is treating the other side
dirty and nasty
And its not only congress that he will have a problem with what about the American people that he is attacking
God bless us all

What frightens me? The hateful energy that McCain is sowing. Winner or loser, he's stirred up some serious hate and anger. In the end, the blood will be on McCain and, especially, Palin's hands. So very sad that they would instigate such ugliness.

We're all Americans, "rea, and otherwise.

. . . Want to see a picture of what Sara Palin will look like as President?

Just Google Mudfats.wordpress.com and look under funstuff and
click on Sara Palin as president.

SOOO HILLAROUS!!!, or maybe not.

nice…

As he said though… He's proud of his attendees at these rallies.

…One woman threw a pack of gum at CNN Correspondent Ed Henry.

Real Nice

Here's some real straight talk: There is no REAL "this or that." It is a matter of perception. McCain/Palin are trying to manipulate people into thinking that one is better than the other, more authentic than the other and more "real" than the other. They also put an emphasis on the "other" to perpetuate fear into people, because they want so badly for Obama's campaign to fail.

Bottom line and more straight talk, no philosophizing and no BS: Obama/Biden WILL prevail and November 4th is going to be the turning point of our country. Enough said.

Obviously, when you have a middle name of Hussein, people can be critical…..

I'm getting so very sick of the divisivness of Palin/Mccain (that's in the right order because chances are Palin will be Pres. in the near future.) I' voted for the UNITER OBAMA. Is anyone else getting sick of this juvenile behavior??

idiots

As opposed to…the "fake" Virginia?

Get a life, McCain!

Obama/Biden 08

These two candidates should forget about Virginia all together and should get together and make a solemn promise to the thugs that have taken that little boy from vegas, if you hurt that child, and don't turn him loose immediately there will be hell to come and they should mean it.

Obama's campaign is one of inclusiveness, bridging across the traditional polarized political spectrum. McCain's message continues to be one of divisiveness. You see it in the signs and the behaviors at his rallies, and you hear it in the mindset of his advisors.

I'm a real Virginian.

NO SOCIALISM

NOBAMA

McCain_Palin 08

We Know Exactly What Long Neck Nancy Meant!

Virginia, please don't let obama destroy our country.
Vote McCain / Palin

Metro DC. Not real Virginians. You got it right! This is a call to the base to get out and vote for John and Sarah! Stand up for America!

Why are McCain using the words 'REAL VIRGINA'? Didn't we just heard me say at the last debate he did not care for the statement from Congressman Conyers about 'segregation and Gov. Wallace'.
Apparently, McCain and his crew are out to stir up unwanted feelings. He is two-faced !!! It is a darn shame that 'UNDER-COVER RACIAL TACTICS' keep coming up from them…
Big money politics really want to win. It may take some 'Socialist' theories to get AMERICA back on track. But whatever is needed should be used !!!
******************************O B A M A / B I D E N************************

mr.mccain please quit

The McCain campaign is out of control!

John McCain—your hero status is officially null and void.

YOU SUCK, DUDE!

Oh my God! A sign saying Stop Obama and featuring the Soviet hammer & sickle and a Muslim crescent! This republican campaign has truly lost it's mind. McCain should have immediately ordered this sign removed. In not doing so, he is inciting the American public even more. CNN, can you do nothing. The age of McCarthy is again upon us. As journalists, you should be reporting this incitement has to stop before it damages the core of the U.S.

McCain will not work to bring this country together as seen in this article he even tries to divide states. Sure right now he and his running mate are out there doing to late nite/comedy show route and trying to represent themselves as nice people but their prior remarks and actions do not bear this out; those prior actions were the real personifications. They are just trying to get votes now as their numbers and support are in the tubes. Of course when you go to one of their rallies you can only expect hate from their followers either verbally or thru posters because they have allowed and encouraged this type of activity and do not hold themselves or these hate mongers responsible.

So campaign surrogate Nancy Pfotenhauer does not consider a Democratic portion of the state of Virginia to be a part of the state. WOW. That is preaching separatism more than anything I have ever herd. That is not what our country is about. We are all America. We are not a Democrat or Republican America. We are America.

Given her statement about Northern Virginal, if the state votes Democratic then it would be some other state that does it. That is the dumbest thing I have ever herd. While I am a Democrat and I support Senator Obama, if after the election is over I find that our new President is McCain, I will not be happy with it but it would have been the decision of the majority and I would accept it as he would the President of the same United States of which I am a citizen. I think this person needs to have their head examined.

The McCain campaign is becomng more erratic. certainly we can take 17 days of this behavior but its certainly important to make the campaign history on 4th of Nov.

Period!

McCain's rallies have turned into a festival of troglodytes chanting and yelling at whatever they're told to. I'm just glad that there are intelligent conservatives out there that have the capacity to think and reason on their own without having to resort to mob mentality and outright falsehoods against Barack Obama.

McCain, your time is up in 17 days.

How dare McCain and his camp think that THEY determine who is "pro-American", "patriotic" or part of "real Virginia"! Instead of name-calling and reveling in unbridled arrogance, they should focus on how they can help fix the American economy.

Enough of this petty name calling and drama, I'm voting for Obama!

Republicans have been whining about the "media" since Spiro Agnew…McCain knows that if he keeps his rhetoric at the 3rd grade level he can get a crowd reaction that looks good on TV ads that can be edited…and because he has no clue what the American people need…want…and demand..he thinks it'll win him some votes…

the GOP has just given us the worst president in history and the worst presidential campaign on top of that..

Throw the BUMS out..!

"Right outside the entrance to the outdoor venue, a sign urging voters to "stop Barack Obama" featured the Soviet hammer and sickle, and the Muslim crescent."

More thugs for McCain to be 'proud of'.

Disgusting.

Can't help yourself by DEFINING the Real Virginia, because NOW you IMPLY that the Democratic Part is NOT the REAL part of the state! Good job McCain!

Obama for POTUS in 3….2…….1…….
Obama 08

Maccain you toast

Wow, so much for bipartisinship. Not only have I been called a socialist, a terrorist, an American Hater and not living in real "america", now there are people who aren't living in a real state!

Is anyone else really worried that we might be rounded up into "camps" if McCain/Palin wins and our state doesn't vote for them? I am.

I never knew there was a "real" and a "fake" part of America. Thanks for clarifying that, Republican talking head.

Wall Street? Now becomes the Crawl Street…. A Wall of Snow Street..
The Big Melt-Down. The Stall-Street….

If McCain wins the presidency, he won't know Virginia. Will you people wake up?

Todd Palin wanted to secede
Sarah is an 'outsider' by her own admission
and John Mccain wasn't even born in the USA
Good luck in Virginia

Racism has largely crept up from local GOP operations into the whole campaign. It doesn't matter though, by using racist tactics the McCain campaign is allying itself to only a small part of America. Most Americans are decent people and are turned off by this kind of stuff.

Wow, I would have thought John Mcain's top advisor ,Nancy Pfotenhauer, would have been smart enough to stay away from the phrase "the real Virginia". Whats next? Will Nancy call a young man at one of Mccains rallies Macca. Hey Nancy, there is only one Virginia and ease up on the lip gloss.But than. This is the campaign that encourages Muslim crescents and gum throwing. These are the same people that gave us "W'. Boy there are some real whack jobs that support Senator Mccain and Ms. Palin!

Sounds like Hitler and his "real Germans."

Or further, his "real humans."

Go away please, fascists and totalitarians need not apply.

As the McCain/Palin tries to divide up the United States into what has been inelegantly termed "pro-America" and "real" America, Americans need to not play ostrich but to question what that really means. As the last days of the election cycle play out and the fear of losing becomes more of a possibility, the real feelings seem to be coming out. Political correctness willl inelegantly give way to ugly, self-serving hatemongering and fear. It's beginning. If these were children you would say "Stop it".

'real Virginia', 'real Americans' – these pathetic losers consider the only 'real' people to be the ones who agree with their twisted and extreme ideas. I have a news flash for them – when they lose this election, it will indeed be 'real' Americans who have voted against them – in 'real' Virginia, 'real' Ohio, etc, etc, etc, etc….

Hmm, I think Obama will still win Virginia, although McCain has campaigned here frequently. I think Northern Virginia, especially Loudon, Fairfax and Prince William Counties will help Obama greatly. Also, other cities in Virginia will likely go for Obama. Areas in the mountains and rural areas will likely vote McCain.

Virginia is a very key state for Obama. I believe if he wins this state, he wins this election. Come on Virginia, turn it BLUE!

nancy is disgusting and insult to women. Nancy is spewing hate just like palin and mccain are. poor ed henry this is the type of people mccain and palin are attracting how come no one in the news organization is talking palin and mccains disgusting tactics especially palin with her abuse of power and witchcraft I DON'T GET NEWS PEOPLE PLEASE WAKE UP TALK ABOUT HOW PALIN IS NOT FIT TO BE VP HER HUSBAND WANTS TO BE OUT OF THE USA HE BELONGS TO THE AIP, PALIN ABUSED HER POWER AND WAS FOUND UNETHICAL WHY IS THE NEWS ORGANIZATIONS NOT IN AN UPROAR OF MCCAIN AND PALINS BEHAVIOR EVERYONE WAS SO QUICK TO TALK OBAMA AYER SITUATION WHICH THERE IS NONE PALIN IS SICKENING AND DISGUSTING I WONDER WHAT HER KIDS THINK AND AMERICA WANTS THEM TO RUN OUR COUNTRY THIS IS DISGUSTING

Let's face it. The real radicals and terrorists are McCain supporters. These rightwing fascists are the true "Anti-Americans". McCain is just dishing out labels such as liberal, leftist, and socialist to give these neanderthals cover for their bigotry and racism.
Let's start telling the truth for a change. McCain has NOT done so during his whole campaign! He has used innuendo and outright lies. His "Joe the Plumber" is a tax evading fraud and shill for the Republican party. How much did he cost, McCain? Oh wait, these guys work for free.

I commented on this before, but this bears repeating…Real Virginia? WTH is that? That is just like Sarah Palin's comments about the "best" and pro-America parts of America are the small-towns…Let me say that as an Army Veteran, former federal employee, former teacher (government) and tax-payer citizen of a large metropolitan area, I am repulsed by these comments that suggest that somehow we are not REAL Americans or that we are not pro-Americans or that somehow people who live in small towns are better than those in big cities. America deserves so much better than this…I am proud to cast my vote for Obama/Biden on November 4th to say NO to this type of divisive and toxic mentality.

WE ALL KNOW YOU MEAN'T WHAT U SAID AND BEING FROM VIRGINIA IT IS OVER FOR YOU.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE PEOPLE WHO ADVISE YOU MCSAME?
YOU SHOULD FIRE EVERYONE INCLUDING YOURSELF.

TODD PALIN IS A JOKE, HE IS UN AMERICAN

First some parts of he country are not real Americans per John McCain's new "interest" Palin (Cindy watch your back, John might be creeping), now I'm not in the real Virginia? You are a creep McCain and that's the reason you will lose VA bigtime on the way to your lose on Nov 4th.

I guess the real virginia is also the pro-America Virginia.

It is really ashame how these people are trying to win by dividing and conquering.

John McCain do you really care about your legacy?

ed henry is a decent journalist this is the kind of hatred and spew that mccain and palin are doing. It is the most disgusting ticket i have ever seen we have got to the american people the hatred that these two are saying why is no one in an uproar everyone talks obama and ayers
this is much worse can you imagine them in the white house this is not good

These crazy Republicans are out of control! They are now resorting to violence! Throwing gum at CNN employees! Shame on them!

THAT LADY IS SO DUMB, THIS WHOLE CAMPAIGN IS SO DISORGANIZED AND FULL OF PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND VERY LITTLE, MCCAIN IS JUST ANOTHER BUSH. SAME POLICIES, SAME LOW LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING AND OUT OF TOUCH.

So I figured it out. The heavy negative campainging is to cover up the stupid remarks that are coming out of their mouths. McCain and Palin need to rewind back about six months and start over because as far as I am concerned, that is the only way I feel they can win if they keep talking about Real Virginia and Pro America.

McCain's campaign is divisive, negative and reeks of the 1960's. I blame Nasty Lipstick wearing pitbull sarah Palin. every since the RNC convention, she has added an element of division, hatred, nastiness, and anti-American noise.

Sarah reminds me of those hatefill separatist women who are seen in documentaries about teh bad element in this country,

She is not ready to be President, Vice President or Govenor of Alaska. When she returns to Alaska on Nov. 6 they should impeach her.

McCain has allowed the worst of our nation to rise up in his campaign.

When they get into a hole, McCain's camp just doesn't know when to stop digging.

A couple of days ago it was Palin who thought that not all of America are real Americans and now this. Sad to say the least.

Gosh, this party gets more and more exclusive-yesterday Palin divided the country into "pro-American" states versus the rest of us, and now they're dividing states. Are we sure that McCain isn't buying into the secessionist stuff and wants to create his own universe? Oh, and good old Todd gets a tour by himself-guess so he'll be ready to sit in that VP chair. Can he get a security clearance? Will he know Sarah's "nucular" codes? Are we terrified of this potential threesome yet?

Fascism makes its American debut, not with gunfire but with applause.

I find it startling that a deeply realigious man, as senator McCain, the leader of a strongly religious party, can say things like "senator Obama wants to spread your wealth around" as if that was one of the worst possible sins. I am not deeply religious, but I've read the Bible and if I've read it correctly Christ was much most serious than Obama about really spreading the wealth around.

I don't much like paying taxes, but I do understand that they are necessary to build roads, hospitals, bridges, schools, pay the police and emergency workers, do some research and yes, lift up some of those unseemly poor that senator Mccain seems to think wreck any decent neighbourhood.

But then those people that say "so help me God", "if we are so blessed" etc, seem to be the same people that accuse "he wants to spread your wealth around".

I live in one of those countries that some americans call the Welfare States of Europe. And let me tell you, I do like americans, but after listening to McCain I'm mighty proud that I live in a country where no one lacks health care if they are sick. That's not socialism, read up some. That's common sense and also a bit of real christianity.

this is so disgusting by the mccain and palin campaign. to throw gum at ed henry is nuts. this the kind of hatred that mccain and palin are spewing how can we let mccain and palin run our country. disgusting
why no one is taking about her pastor, witchcraft, abuse of power and her husband wanting to be out of the usa this is unreal what is wrong with the news

On international and the war on terror issue, McCain has the experience and advantage over Barack for our safety. On the economy issue, it's clearly the Democrats who have been in control the past two years and they caused the financial crisis we find ourselves in because they prevented regulation of Fannie and Freddie. Obama received over $125k from Fannie and Freddie, shouldn't he give that back since Fannie & Freddie caused the Financial crisis?

McPalin needs to find the "Real World", Because in our world all the lies and half truths they tell don't fly!

It is time McBush let go of VA , it is going blue.
Obama/Biden 08

There he goes again…. McCain being the DIVIDER, not a uniter. It's one part of a state (the BAD side being northern Virginia…which makes it unauthentic) and the REAL Virginia…. the part of the state that supposedly is more open to the McCain/Bush policies.
Pathetic. Just absolutely, unequivocally pathetic on the part of John "Country First" McCain. This man has ZERO shame left, especially after raising the word "socialist" in trying to smear Sen. Obama.
McCain is losing it… he'll do ANYTHING to rip this country apart as long as he believes it will further his chances for to obtain the presidency.
Fortunately, it's not working. Virginia will go Blue on Nov. 4. And McCain already knows that.

he's keepin the mantra of "we got them where we want them," after the election will he say "we had them where we wanted them and blew it"

ANd I thought Carly Fiorina and Phil Graham were the gifts that keep on giving to Obama-Biden. Then came Sarah "Russia from my house, I need a translator during interviews" Palin and it was like Christmas, Hannukah, Halloween and Thanksgiving. Then comes Nancy "I'm from the real Virginia" Pfotenhauer and its like my Birthday ten days in a row. Wow I can't take anymore of these holidays!. Where does McCain get these people? its like they want him to lose!!. And thats not a bad thing!.
GO GO Obama-Biden!!!

AS I JUST STATED. . .

NEXT, WILL BE YOUR HOME!

WAKE, WAY UP, AMERICA! ! !

As I watched Barack Obama give his economic speech yesterday; I noticed a very peculiar flag next to the american flag behind him. It looked a little like our "stars and stripes", but instead it had a big "O" on it. Now he can put an big "O" on his plane if he likes, but what is he doing altering our American flag, the symbol of our proud country and our patriotism? Our flag represents one nation under God and that one nation is not the Obamanation!

More Republican ugliness. Obama is going to have his hands full after he's elected to calm these people down. They're downright dangerous and McCain and Palin have brought this on. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Palin on SNL is a complete joke (and I'm not laughing).
She is incompetent, has no education, no knowledge of real matters, and is spewing hate and racism at her rallies.
I love my country, and I am ashamed of Palin and McCain.

Wow…more ignorance

First, I would like both McCain and Palin to describe on live television without any coaching or scripting, what they believe socialism is. I doubt they can articulate any of the core principals of the economic theory.

Second, if I were a presidential candidate and one of my supporters, or any of my campaign staff, set up a banner like the one you described in this article regarding another candidate, I would order it be taken down and I would address the issues the banner highlights. Of course, I believe myself to be truthful and a woman of integrity, so I guess that makes me a little different from McCain and Palin.

Third, I truly hope and pray that the McCain/Palin campaign fails miserably.

It is extremely difficult to understand why the voters of the "real Virginia" would vote for the policies and programs that best fit the propoganda of Nazi Joseph Goebbels.

His ‘Straight Talk’ motto seems to have no principlies anymore.
The McCain campaign is embarrasingly unethical and dishonest. To think a man who at one time was ruined, hurt, and violated by the same tactics used on him. Rove and other campaign managers blasted McCains reputation and he has chosen to sell his soul.

We are forced to watch Nancy Pfotenhauer practice her brand of phony, over-smiling condescending reiteration of annoying Republican talking points far too often While some might say that Nancy is just full of Botox and lip filler, I think she's full of crap. Nancy is
allowing lie after lie to be repeated to the press without challenge, to give lie after lie airtime, The Press are worse cowards then the creeps working for McCain Palin.

I wish republicans would not attack Obama under this belief that he is muslim. He is not! But what if he was? If having a Muslim or Jewish President what does that say about a country that was founded by individuals that escaped religous persecution? Vote for whoever you feel is best to lead this country, but base it on issues economy, healthcare, education, and our national security. This is a disappointing view of the Republican party.

Don't censor me, Rebecca – I'm not the one that needs to be censored. Those divisive hateful republicans are the ones that need to be censored. They are tearing this country into pieces.

So Nancy some of the voter's in Virginia are not real voter's. Palin some of the voter's in the USA are not all pro-American voter's.

You will be able to see that The REAL Voter's went to the poll's on the night of November 4th. See you then!

McCain camps remarks are crossing the line repeatedly!! How come reporters are not questioning these people hard?! DO WE REALLY LIVE IN A DEMOCRACY?

Right outside the entrance to the outdoor venue, a sign urging voters to "stop Barack Obama" featured the Soviet hammer and sickle, and the Muslim crescent.

———————————————–
It's gone too far. The McCain/Pitbull team needs to apologize to every American !! And NOW !!

It's too bad there may be some decent people in the Mccain rallies that are just looking for some answers to make up their minds, but they are overshadowed by such idiots, throwing gum at reporter's…shouting all their hate mongering trying to insinuate that Obama is a terrorist, it's unbelievable how idiotic the republicans have let most of their base get. They feed them this moronic nonesense and then they are left scratching their heads when the economy does so much better under a democratic administration just as it did after it had to clean up the republican mess in 92…

John McCain has permanently tarnished his name. He will be remembered as a dirty politician. It is obvious that he will not be President. He will return to the Senate as a disgrace and eventually fade from view.

The McFake campaign really thinks that there are two different Americas. This is the main reason that we need a President that believes that he can govern for the improvement of one nation under God. Just One.

Well maybe he would be further ahead now if he wasn't taking the weekends off early in the campaign. Go back to resting John. go back to resting… I take that back you will get a looonnggg rest after Nov 4th.

McCain's slogan politics is tired.
Whenever he gets specific he lies.
America cannot afford another President like that.

“I certainly agree that northern Virginia has gone more Democratic. And as a proud resident of Oakton, Virginia I can tell you that the Democrats have just come in from the District of Columbia and moved into northern Virginia. And that’s really what you see there. But the rest of the state, ‘real’ Virginia if you will, I think will be very responsive to Senator McCain’s message.”

So your saying Ms. Pfotenhauer is because it's Northern Virginia and is more Democratic then it's just fake or anti-Virginia. Your rhetoric is disgusting and devisive.

Real Virginia as opposed to Communist Virginia as McCain's brother hinted earlier this campaign season? Keep sticking your feet in your mouth McCain campaign surrogates! Barack and Joe have a plan that resonates with all Virginians and that's why the McCain campaign is scared and trying to divide that great state.

Real Virginia area. And Pro America areas. All the McCain campaign knows how to do is to Divide our Nation.

I guess Real Virginia is like Real Americans….. they think that they support the Republican Party…. otherwise they are NOT REAL? I think they just might be surprised at how REAL we ARE! We are REALLY sick of all the lies and attacks that have no substance behind them… and we are EVEN sicker of the MESS the Republicans have gotten US into in order to Make Themselves and their Cronies RICHER!

I would like to see the wealth spread around a whole not more. I think we are ALL sick of the policies that have made the richest 5% of this country even RICHER, while the rest of us struggle to keep our heads above water!

Nice one.. First Palin says she only visit Pro-American places, then this one from McCains people. I am from California. Never Saw McCain, and Palin only came out here to collect money on a fund raiser, met by plenty of protesters. I have to say she offends me big time. California is full of the people she just slammed. Good luck to the both of you. Go Virginia, pick the one that represents you as all true Americans!

It's too easy for folks in Virginia, and frankly all the states turning blue to turn Democratic, but remember Americans, perhaps one good thing that a Democrat ever said was "It's not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." LISTEN to John McCain. Country First. It seems many democrats want the country to take care of them. This country was not built by such people. This country cannot afford to develop such an attitude. If you want to throw your freedom away, vote democrat. If you want to fight to keep what you've been blessed with and so many people have died for, then Work and Vote for Senator McCain. Contribute yourself to this country. Contribute to freedom. Do the right thing.

Yeah, only the "real" Virginians and "real" Americans will vote McCain. I guess it's too late to fire your whole advisory team?

"real Virginia"? "Pro-American areas"? Looks like the seeds of division are sprouting. Shame on you Mr. McCain. If this campaign is preview of your Presidency, you need not be running for the job.

Arizonans know how Real Virginia feels, the real Arizona has yet to see McCain/Palin side show, becuase we are working families that won't Vote for those to ridiculous clowns! We don't earn multi millions of dollars a year like John McCain, the reason McCain doesn't like a Obama tax plan is McCain will have to pay more taxes.
BTW: The last resort of the Failing McCain Campaign is to energize the base, Ignorant Right Wing Looneys! McCain followers are waking up from a long peaceful McBush slumber [voted 90 percent of the time with Bush], to find two pathetic morons, publicly displaying a comical cartoonish love affair with themselves, totally out of touch with our Nations true issues [it's the ECONOMY!], and engaging in a revolting "McCain First" campaign! That's a tough wake up call, "MY FRIENDS"!
McCain's first Executive decision is to unleash a Fascist Psychotic With The Racist Twinkle In Her Eye [Awaiting Alaska Criminal Indictment For Abusing Power] scampering around our Nation dangerously drumming up Hatred & Bigotry [Wink Wink]. The obvious erratic incompetence of the McCain/Palin campaign provides us evidence enough that they are unfit for any public office. As Americans face the hardest financial disaster in the History of the USA, this is the McCain Policy??? John McCain / Sarah Palin have no idea what Americans trying to survive face. 401K plans gutted, Unemployment, Foreclosures, Wall Street in the Tank, Main Street hopelessly waiting for a bail out, and the Global Economy in disarray…
McCain/Palin are a disgusting self serving disgrace undoubtedly proving they are not up to the complex task of keeping the Nation together in hard times.

P.S. Acorn / Ayers / Rev. Wright / Socialism / Raise Taxes for 250K A Year Income, these are not the real issues facing America!

I love how the McCain campaign has taken it upon themselves to tell us who are real americans, real virginians, real patriots, the good guys, and so forth.

They try to divide the country but now they go to their "fedaralist" (which means more government btw) ways and try to divide people by state. This campaign is just pathetic

I'm from Richmond and live in NOVA now, I wonder what that makes me. A lot of people in NOVA are born here or come from southern counties looking for better opportunities. In VA, NOVA is the spot with the most opportunity.

When I here people say that Palin is a breath of fresh air, I have to wonder about those people.

It's amazing that people who support her for VP do not care that she is unqualified, uneducated and lacking the attributes require to be a heartbeat away from being PRESIDENT!!

SHE HAS LIED ABOUT EVERYTHING since she arrived on the scene. LIED about earmarks, tax cuts, troopergate, etc…..

These people must be very, very DUMB!!!

The real Virginia…here we go again.

Northern Virginia, wake up. This woman just said that Northern Virginia "Not "Real" Virginia". I hope you all we not vote for McCain on that day. Terrible, Terrible!!!!!!!! It shows that McCain camp have preference to some states in America. Is that a quality of a leader?

Vote Early.

Vote Obama/Biden '08

And the McCain Campaign will not admit it incites hostility and civil discord??? "…booing and chanting “Liberal media!” One woman threw a pack of gum at CNN Correspondent Ed Henry"

Nice McCain, something to be proud of…..MAVERICK!

MONTANAN FOR OBAMA/BIDEN

Terrible. McCain's camp keep dividing this country. McCain adviser Nancy Pfotenhauer refered certain part of Virginia as "Real Virginia" and the other as "Not Real". Today, Sarah Palin called some States in this country as"Pro-Americans" and indirectly saying that certain states in this country are "Anti-Americans"

McCain's camp have not rejected these comments yet.

We all need a leader who knows how to unite the people of this country together.

Vote Early. Vote Obama/Biden '08

I am crossing off every place that the MkKane Kampaign calls pro-america or 'real' on my maps because they must be god for saken crap holes full of racists and ignorant fools who believe his garbage.

Clearly what she meant by her comments about people form "Metro D.C." moving into Northern Virginia is that too many African Americans have relocated from D.C. into the Northern Virginia suburbs. I was born in and lived in D.C. for most of my life and many of my relatives have relocated in this way over the past 20 years and yes, the demographics have changed in Northern Virgina. I still am shocked, however, with the blatant arrogance and racism of her comment – stated with such ease and not retracted. I was watching MSNBC when she made this comment and the anchor, who was African American, "got it" right away, and that is why he was trying to give her a way out. This is just another example, usually brought up by Palin, of the McCain campaign's outright attempt to divide the country.

Too Little, and Waaaaayyyyy Too Late.

The McCain/Palin campaign just keeps drawing divisive lines in our states and in this country. WHY? McCain has become one of the most dishonorable people I've ever known.

The same people that brought you Bush/Cheney for the past 8 years are now presenting McCain/Palin.

Gonna fall for it again? Not me. Not this time. Not ever again.

Obama/Biden '08

It must be embarrasing being a Republican these days.

What is up with the Republicans' comparing "real" Americans with what "false Americans"? or "patriotic" vs. unpatriotic"? I mean when will they end with this divisive talk – and now its what socialist vs. democratic – they have become more disgusting and divisive by the day – and more destructive than words can describe.

I guess "real" Virginia is where a lot of white racist people live? Just like Palin's "pro American" comment, she's referring to those extreme racist white folks sho refuse to vote for Obama? Yeah, I get it.
