McCain robo-calls say Obama policies will be like his.
McCain robo-calls say Obama policies will be like his.

NEW YORK (CNN) - John McCain's presidential campaign is making an 11th hour appeal to Cuban Americans in Florida with a robo-call that says Barack Obama would pursue "political policies like those of Cuba."

The automated Spanish-language telephone calls began late this afternoon into Cuban households, particularly in and around the southern part of the state, and quote a Reuters story that says former Cuban leader Fidel Castro prefers Obama win the presidency.

McCain and Obama are in a fierce battle for Florida's 27 electoral votes.

Translated script:

Urgent: I am calling on behalf of John McCain to tell you that today at 1:28 this afternoon the independent news organization of Reuters reported that the Cuban dictator, Fidel Castro, has given his support to Democrat Barack Obama for being smarter and more sophisticated than John McCain. Just like Hugo Chavez, Daniel Ortega, and Evo Morales – the brothers of Castro prefer Barack Obama. Don't give Castro what he wants. Go vote right now for John McCain and avoid establishing in the United States political policies like those of Cuba. There are only a few hours left today to vote for John McCain. This call has been paid for by McCain/Palin 2008.

Still can'tquit spreading hate despite defeat stiking in his face ...

erika morgan   November 4th, 2008 6:50 pm ET

THE GOP DRUM BEATS ON, FOR GOD'S SAKE FOLLOWERS GET A CLUE AND VOTE OBAMA.

mere   November 4th, 2008 6:50 pm ET

What a joke. McCain and Republicans will do and say anything to get full control again just like they had during the first 6 years of Bush.

I guess John McCain and Sarah Palin forgot how to reach across political lines. Maybe Obama and Biden can given them some lessons.

Chi4Obama   November 4th, 2008 6:50 pm ET

Obama like Castro?

I find that odd, because I've always considered Castro to be something of a Maverick....Kind of like "you know who" claims to be

wisdom11   November 4th, 2008 6:49 pm ET

John McCain is really sick and desperate. He will say and do anything to get elected even at the expense of destroying himself. John McCain is hopeless and has lost his way.

c   November 4th, 2008 6:49 pm ET

watching from Canada, wow! can't believe at the eleventh hour he does this, its the actions of a desperate man

cna1   November 4th, 2008 6:49 pm ET

Sad.

'nuff said.

wayne   November 4th, 2008 6:49 pm ET

you people have been saying "change we need"
you know what, TALK IS CHEAP
what have the "great OBAMA" had done in his years being a senator??
just voting "present" I guess
Yes, "Change We need" but not from him, not from someone who can't even vote "yes" or "no"
when we go to the poll, too bad there ain "present" for us to choose.

Pam   November 4th, 2008 6:49 pm ET

A lady just called into a radio station, she had just voted for Obama. Her reason for voting for him was because she was called to a grand jury twice since turning 72 years old and both times she was told she was to old to be on a grand jury. So if she was to old to decide someone's future, McCain at 72 years old is to old to run a country. Makes sence to me.

PC   November 4th, 2008 6:49 pm ET

Voice of Tahoe:

Explain to me with your best uninformed argument, how the country can be worse than Bush and the Republicans have made it...please, I want to hear a real explanation, not just regurgitating the neocon rhetoric...go ahead, I dare you!

Chris   November 4th, 2008 6:49 pm ET

How sad and unfortunate.

Usually, a presidential candidate even in defeat has some semblance of honor and respect from the electorate. I do not think this will be the case for John McCain. Tactics like this make him not only unworthy of our respect, but make him ultimately irrelevant.

Linda Kelly   November 4th, 2008 6:49 pm ET

How pathetic is John McCain's campaign that they would use these foul, lying robo calls to try to win the election...if they can't win on the issues, I guess they figure the lies may do it for them.

justducky   November 4th, 2008 6:48 pm ET

This just shows how desperate McCain is. How could anyone ever vote for someone who is proving that he is willing to lie to the American people in order to get his way. Isn't that what got us into the Iraq war in the first place?

TRASH   November 4th, 2008 6:48 pm ET

YOU BETCHA ASHLEY WE WILL BE DOOMED. BULL, OBAMA IS THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN STOP THE SUPER RICH FROM BLEEDING THE COUNTRY COMPLETLY DRY. YOU NEED TO OPEN YOUR EYES TO THE TRUTH.

Lilarose in Bandon, Oregon   November 4th, 2008 6:48 pm ET

McCain, that is totally disgusting!

Shame on you, you are no man at all!

Todd in SC   November 4th, 2008 6:48 pm ET

Want another Great Depression for real, America?

Vote for the Obamessiah, and you'll have your wish!

After four years of Obama destroying our economy and killing our jobs, you'll all WISH you were in Cuba with Castro!!!!

Bill Sagraphis   November 4th, 2008 6:48 pm ET

Attention Obama suporters. Mark my words, in four years from now this country will be a complete disaster, you voted for him, this will be on your hands. Socialism has been tried all over the world and has never worked anywhere. You may have destroyed the most free country on earth.

mike   November 4th, 2008 6:48 pm ET

You are listening to the death throes of a toxic ideology. Republicans long ago stopped being the party of conservatives, and instead tried being a fundamentalist, homophobic racist cult. Nice to know the majority of people have evolved past this sick, stupid and dangerous philosophy.

Ignorant, gullible and LOUD but not in power much longer. thank God.
:)

alan   November 4th, 2008 6:48 pm ET

I don't know what bothers me more. The lies McCain and Palin have been spreading about Obama or the fools that believe them.

Nerkle   November 4th, 2008 6:48 pm ET

If Obama = Castro, then McCain = Stalin. At least Castro started out in the name of the people.

Kenny   November 4th, 2008 6:48 pm ET

Not One Person Here Said Why This Is Not Factual. If you love Obama, Fine. But, why is he not like Castro. Nobody Said This. I think were in trouble.

Red AZ   November 4th, 2008 6:48 pm ET

McCain/Palin is the lesser of two evils. Obama/Biden = socialism.

Jon in NC   November 4th, 2008 6:48 pm ET

Sounds like something Richard Nixon would have done.
Oh..I forgot...Watergate.

Anything to get in the White House.

Please America – vote against this type of behavior.

The Founding Fathers would be appalled!

David   November 4th, 2008 6:48 pm ET

Urgent – I am calling on behalf of John McCain and I need your help. I have offered nothing to the American people and I'm losing this election. Please be scared of the visionary that I'm running against. He's inspired this nation and is offering hope and unity and I cannot compete against that.

I'm supposed to be elected president this time. It''s my turn. George Bush stole it away from me with a smear campaign and I didn't like that. I was pow and I'm a military man and I'm owed the presidency because of this. Why are the American people rejecting me.

Please help me. I want to be president. Give me, give me, give me!

Codio   November 4th, 2008 6:48 pm ET

STOP with the NEGATIVE ADS no one believes you.... Wake up America we all need a change. Change not hand outs, we ALL work hard if you make $8.00hr. or $550,000.@ yr. Come on America, please see the light. Obama will see us through. Remember the Days when we all reach across the table, whether it was for a neighbor, friend or family member. Right now All Americans hardley can reach for themselves. God Bless America.

KLEE   November 4th, 2008 6:47 pm ET

Kick all the lying BUMS out!! OBAMA/BIDEN 2008 – to you guys out West – VOTE FOR OBAMA......

CB   November 4th, 2008 6:47 pm ET

This is appalling. You have to live in complete ignorance to think that Obama is a socialist and that he would be like Castro. That is insidious and represents a new low for McCain.

Chevallier   November 4th, 2008 6:47 pm ET

Wow...glad to see that many people are already seeing what should not come to fruition. So what, Obama is a good speaker, he can move people to tears. But you dont want someone in office who is an eloquent speaker, we need someone who will get the job done. OBAMA HAS NOT LAID OUT ANY PLANS AS TO WHAT HE WILL DO FOR THIS COUNTRY! HIS HOPEFUL RHETORIC HOLDS NO VALUE! And his choice for VP is quite funny, because Biden....wow...I mean BIDEN! "The issue on hand is about 3 letters: J-O-B-S" Haha. That guy is a joke, and the democratic ticket is a sham to make this country a more leftist nation. Hopefully people will realize how bad of a pick Obama is, other wise, this nation is royally screwed.

Oh and to those who say McCain is another 4 years of Bush. Look at McCains policies versus Bush's and you will see a stark contrast in their beliefs on issues.

Hoohray for 8 years of Marxism and Socialism.....not to mention Communism.

-Chevallier, 18 years old

Emilia   November 4th, 2008 6:47 pm ET

I'm Cuban-American and I can't imagine that people could be so naive to believe or be persuaded by that recording message. What Castro, Chavez, and the rest of those leaders say has nothing to do with Obama. Can't they see that McCain is desperate to win and will do or say anything to get their vote?

vahe   November 4th, 2008 6:47 pm ET

mccain talk about yourself not obama idiot

Wake-up America   November 4th, 2008 6:47 pm ET

Bitter to the END!! And this is Bipartisan, a Uniter. McCain/Palin is a DISGRACE to this COUNTRY.

Chris   November 4th, 2008 6:47 pm ET

Utterly disgusting, just when you think they can't get any lower

Commonwealth   November 4th, 2008 6:47 pm ET

Wow, the transformation to complete jerk is complete with this latest bs.

Alice Newman Center Harbor NH   November 4th, 2008 6:47 pm ET

and as McCain returns to the Senate ... he should reflect that "fear and smear" is not the way to win the hearts and minds of Americans!
Shame on you, John McCain ... shame, shame, shame!

S   November 4th, 2008 6:47 pm ET

Oh boy...what's next ?

McCain is gone Nutes....

Obama/Biden '08

Q   November 4th, 2008 6:46 pm ET

Interesting I read this article about Castro statements earlier and the most interesting was Castro said he was very neutral about both of the candidates but he was speaking the truth about the intelligence and well we're so happy to see that McCain read the article and well him making phone calls and doing a whole lot of excessive, unnecessary stunts only proves how much McCain shouldn't be our next president and how true Castro was about his statements about whom was smart and well who wasn't cause it's definitely not McCain. His only plan of action is to bring Obama down and as someone mentioned he has actually did a great amount of campaigning for Obama himself.

Mizzdragonfly   November 4th, 2008 6:46 pm ET

Wow! This is like watching one of those cheesy 80's flicks where the bad guy goes down sucking his thumb like a jerk – calling for his mommy and while holding his teddy!

Darren   November 4th, 2008 6:46 pm ET

You Go Girl !!! Ashley has it right !!!! lol

Rick   November 4th, 2008 6:46 pm ET

You know... I used to be a McCain fan back in 2000. I was pulling for him instead of Dumbya. Obama has consistantly touted the change we need. What has McCain done? Can't stay on message. (Sorry... He never had a message!) Then he insults our intelligence with Lipstick Palin. I guess she appeals to the religious zealots. Thank DOG the RZs are being shown the door! My prediction???? AN OBAMA LANDSLIDE!!!!

To all Republican die-hards   November 4th, 2008 6:46 pm ET

To all the die-hard Repubs posting angry nonsense on this and other sites: would you please stop foaming at the mouth? only TIME will tell if you are right, so relax and be patient. Dems say that Obama will usher in a new and bright chapter in the American story; that we will see more cooperation, economic stability and social justice. Repubs have been listening to maniacs like Hannity, Coulter and Limbaugh, so they think that the world is going to come to an end. Let's just watch and see, shall we? And in two years, we can meet back here and talk it over calmly. For today, however, you may need some Valium to cope with the Democratic LANDSLIDE that is about to unfold.

chris S   November 4th, 2008 6:46 pm ET

this latest desperate attempt by a defeated man and a defeated party just proves why America needs a change. 8 years is enough. I look forward to celebrating the Obama/Biden victory and saying goodbye to America's dark days

TRASH   November 4th, 2008 6:46 pm ET

MORE TRASH FROM THE TRASH MASTERS. HOW CAN A SUPPOSED WAR HERO AND RESPECTED MEMBER OF THE US SENATE STOOP TO SUCH LOWS? IT JUST SHOWS WHAT MC CAIN IS REALLY MADE OF. HE IS MADE OF PURE EXCREMENT 99 AND 44/100THS % PURE.

bert   November 4th, 2008 6:46 pm ET

it's not john mccains' fault that he is so dishonorable, such a liar, such a poor American. it's daddy Jacks' fault!! had he not been the influential naval commander of the pacific fleet during the RVN era son johnny would have lost his wings after trashing so many jets (4-5). he would never had the opportunity to get shot out of the air over Hanoi, never have been reprimanded for flying 1000 ft lower than his group. never earned the names flat-hatter, screw-up, maverick, or hot dog. never had the opportunity to betray his country. ah shot, to go on would just be a waste of ink

George   November 4th, 2008 6:46 pm ET

This should be illegal and those that are responsible should be brought up on charges...its no worse than telling voters that election day is November 5th.

Mel   November 4th, 2008 6:46 pm ET

I think this is the beginning of this centuries' awakening period (like the awaikening of the late 1800's or the 1960's) . The old guard gets thrown out – or completely renders themselves irrelevant as in the case of McCain's disaster of a campaign. This leaves room for the new thinkers of the era to make a meaningful and lasting shift in the way we view our country and our responsibilities to it. I can't tell you how excited I am about this!

republican_paulie   November 4th, 2008 6:46 pm ET

He's talking about Obama's view on distribution of wealth. Castro was a charismatic leader that came to power in Cuba. He promised to "distribute the wealth' of the rich to the poor (sound familliar)? The result was no one in Cuba can be rich unless they are somehow in the government. This is why no one in Cuba can afford a new car, house (never mind a mortgage) or has a good job. In a USA where jobs are leaving daily and GM and Chrysler and Ford are all going under I can see us all driving 20 year old cars soon too. It doesnt sound that far off. Can you afford a $35000 or $40000 car? How about a few years from now? Obama really hasnt said how he will create jobs in the USA other than paying off already greedy company CEO's who will have to hide their money from the new Obama tax-machine if he wins.

pooh2   November 4th, 2008 6:46 pm ET

You have all be deceived in the final hour!

Benjamin   November 4th, 2008 6:46 pm ET

Next John McCains advisors will tell him to say 'Obama is from Mars'

The American people just love getting their intelligence insulted. Hey I got a good one. Tell John to say that Obama turns into a frog at night . Now that should get a few more votes!!!!!!!!!!!!

Antoinette from New Carrollton, MD   November 4th, 2008 6:46 pm ET

Its a little late, being as though most polls will be closing or the people are already in line or have voted

Armando in Dallas   November 4th, 2008 6:45 pm ET

This is why McCain wont win. Such a sad man.

Tim   November 4th, 2008 6:45 pm ET

Alright, yes, this is low. However this is called politics people. McCain is playing bad guy and Obama is playing good guy. To tell the truth thats all Obama has to do. All he has to do is say "Change" and people jump. If Obama had to fight for this election he would pull the same stuff as McCain is now – so GET OVER IT!

– And seriously if you really would like to move to Canada because you don't like who the next president will be – regardless of who it is – please go to Canada and make some more space for the Americans.

independent for Obama   November 4th, 2008 6:45 pm ET

Umm I'll take my chances. Don't need to go to war with Russia and Iran maybe North Korea. I feel if McCain is elected we'll be fighting 4 or 5 wars.Anyway if we elect McCain it'll be a third term Bush. What happened to the Maverick I voted for in 2000.

Watcher   November 4th, 2008 6:45 pm ET

Just to add to the grave ditch they are digging for themseleves. CA. RNC- GOP just file a lawsuite against Obama for visiting his ill grandmother...because he did not go their to campg while he was there, This is really sad .. the Mccain/Palin group talk out the sides of their neck. They must think the citizens of this nation have an IQ of Bush 111...to think we dont double check our double checks.
Sad when a man like Mccain shows no heart ( sorry pace maker )

Nick   November 4th, 2008 6:45 pm ET

Fantastic that even Castro realizes the integrity of Obama over McCain

Susie from Canada   November 4th, 2008 6:45 pm ET

I haven't heard of any leader of any country that prefers McCain. Surely they can't all be wrong. Obama is the best thing to happen to the U.S. in a good number of years. Maybe they can regain some of the respect that they have lost the last 8 years.

Dan in Utah   November 4th, 2008 6:45 pm ET

Barbara in NC: Yes, I have seen liars before.

Obama is the worst.

Please, Liberals and Democrats, continue to show your true colors and make up names for McCain (McShame is my favorite) and call Sarah Palin all sorts of things (Hillbilly Barbie was a great one). Then deride Republicans and Conservatives for being unchrisitian "even though they're supposed to be" . . . noooo, THAT'S not hypocritical at all!

I love the Free Speech I still have. We'll see what happens in a year. The Democrats have been trying to push "Fairness Doctrine" for a while. Guess you'll get it and I won't have a voice anymore. – Funny that it's called Fairness Doctrine but then only applies to making sure conservative programs are "balanced" and not liberal newspapers or news broadcasts.

Welcome back Woodrow Wilson's Espionage and Sedition Acts!

Mark   November 4th, 2008 6:45 pm ET

This election has captured everyone. It's been so interesting to follow, but I will be so glad not to have to listen to any more of this garbage coming from McCain & Palin.

Hixson   November 4th, 2008 6:45 pm ET

Just today I sat in a call center for the Republican party. Next to me sat a Cuban woman who said she felt deja vu from this election. She remembers a young, eloquent man calling for non-specific change. Then she remembers the government taking their property and home. She told me about how her family used whatever resources they had to flee Cuba. This from a real person and you believe McCain is just bitter?

Kelvin, Lancaster CA   November 4th, 2008 6:45 pm ET

In my opinion this is why Arizona's polls were tightening for Obama because of sleaze McBush/Palin throw out and hoping it would stick. The American people were fooled, including myself, back in 2004 with the swift boat ads–not this time.

As Hillary would say no how, no way, no McCain. We cannot afford McCain, one who does not have the temperament to be President. This man couldn't bear to hear Obama words during the debates without acting like he's swellin' up like a blowfish.

Gov Palin is just not ready. I don't care what kind of Republican spin you put on it. This is one piece of laundry the water will not come out.

lanny   November 4th, 2008 6:45 pm ET

These tactics show just how low the republicans and mccain really are. Shame on a nation that would elect such people. surely our country hasn't stooped this low. Go Obama Go.

Lambo4Life   November 4th, 2008 6:45 pm ET

if any of you were smart you would know obama is the most shady candidate of them all...at least McCain has proved his worth to this country...check into where obama's funding comes from...at least McCain follows policy and will never screw the hard working people in this country...if you want free handouts go to the welfare line...which was set up by democrats to keep you down!

McCain/Palin '08

dan   November 4th, 2008 6:45 pm ET

shows you how low mccain has sunk. How anyone can vote for man who has been so negative against his opponent. Hey Mccain: How about you spend all that negative energy on something productive, maybe coming up with some plans for our country... what a waste he is.

Michelle   November 4th, 2008 6:44 pm ET

Hopefully, light will shine through this darkness.....the negativity is thick....we need to work together for a better America!

Winnie Hussein . . . in Montana   November 4th, 2008 6:44 pm ET

That is vile and incendiary. Did Sen. Obama put out an ad that Al Qaeda prefers McCain (they do in case you're wondering)? No, because it is low and stupid and misleading and disgusting. McCain's political tactics have been the basest I have ever seen. He made a big deal about Obama breaking a "promise" to accept public campaign financing, but then expects us to just forget that he promised US that he would run a clean campaign. He lied to US and I, for one, don't appreciate it.

Sen. McCain and Sarah Palin are nothing but fearmongers.

Chi4Obama   November 4th, 2008 6:44 pm ET

McShame,
If you stooped any lower, you would be pushing up daisies from out of the ground.

David   November 4th, 2008 6:44 pm ET

This is so sad that we Americans have degenarated into pathetic socialist wannabes. All you who votred for Obama, mark my words you wil live to regret your choice, but it will be too late.

a republican   November 4th, 2008 6:44 pm ET

shame shame shame McCain.....half the election is over now...we still support the what is best for the country

Abul   November 4th, 2008 6:44 pm ET

THE SHIP HAS ALREADY SUNK. DEAR GOP,, TRY TO SWIM TOWARD THE SHORE, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

Joel Thomas   November 4th, 2008 6:44 pm ET

Those annoying RoBo Calls... who listens to them. As soon as I hear them, It only takes me 3 words and CLICK. I Hang up. We should all do that. Robo Calls should be illegal.

Moira Morris   November 4th, 2008 6:44 pm ET

Are you freeeeekin' kiddin' me? "to avoid establishing in the U.S. the political policies like those in Cuba." Desperate people do desperate things. McNasty, time for Cindy to tuck you in....

joeR   November 4th, 2008 6:44 pm ET

You guys think that McCain has run a dishonest campaign?

What about the ad making fun of McCain because he didn't know how to use a computer? He can't use a computer because of the war injuries he incurred while he was fighting for our country. Now that's despicable ad!

Or how about when he wants to claim that everyone who opposes him is a racist? I'm a white male who grew up in one of the most diverse areas in the country and I am sick of you liberals accusing me of being a racist. I've been told by all of you indoctrinating educators and politicians that because the color of my skin and my gender, it automatically means that I hate people of different color. That's despicable!

Give me a break people!

MIKE   November 4th, 2008 6:44 pm ET

Show MCcain some respect! He is the best for the job! At least he does not give up. All of our enemies want Barrack in charge. What does that tell you? Also I like Palin too. She has shown us how important family is!!!!!!

Ed   November 4th, 2008 6:44 pm ET

If you deport Republicans, who will pay all the taxes to support the Democrats?

dick delson   November 4th, 2008 6:44 pm ET

I think McCain has lost his mind. And if anyone needs further proof, look no further than Sarah Palin. She is a real dummy.

Dan from Illinois   November 4th, 2008 6:44 pm ET

Why can't we put lawmakers into office that will make this type of fear-mongering campaign illegal? It should be a federal crime to lie in campaign ads, let alone try to induce fear into people by calling them in the privacy of their homes with, what are basically, threats.

de   November 4th, 2008 6:44 pm ET

This is for "Davis".
That awful lady from Alaska just happens to be a very intelligent lady. GET A GRIP. LOSE THE HATE. STOP BEING SO INSECURE AND IGNORANT. McCain fought for your sorry butt to express your stupidy out loud...hmmmmmm good thing he didn't know that then.

Rick   November 4th, 2008 6:44 pm ET

Pathetic...just pathetic. How does McCain even look himself in the mirror. I'm surprised he doesn't claim bigfoot will eat our children if we don't vote for McCain....then again...there's still time.

Jake   November 4th, 2008 6:44 pm ET

Country First. Unless I'm trailing in the polls. Then me first.

Brent in NC   November 4th, 2008 6:44 pm ET

McCain by himself was not good. But Palen! I work with 400 people in a building. I know at least 50 folks. Not in management positions who would be a better Vice than Palen. They must believe that the citizenry is totally hoodwinkable. George scared folks into his reelection and that probably won't happen again for 50 years. Now Reagan is where the root of our problem comes from. He set the stage for what eventually happened. The Monoply Game ended. Now "We the People" have to borrow money to help those who already had the game won but were so greedy the built paper profit at the citizenry's expense so they could continue to line their pockets.

bill   November 4th, 2008 6:43 pm ET

so ridiculous. the only people who can even credit that statement are the same nutjobs who think Obama is a Muslim, foreign, terrorist. ie Limbaugh listeners and idiots.

Jennifer Cunningham   November 4th, 2008 6:43 pm ET

Don't get too excited yet "my friends" if they are low enough to pull this stunt, who knows what other shenannigans they may have up thier sleeve. Remember the last election?

joe   November 4th, 2008 6:43 pm ET

This election has disfigured the old man. He's become unrecognizable. This is so sad and I am hoping aging can just be less ugly.

Wishing I still had Ohio residency...   November 4th, 2008 6:43 pm ET

why would they want to win by cheating anyway?

this election has truly shown America that McCain is no longer the man he once was. he no longer stands for his former beliefs.

what a sad and unfair lie.

S. Boatman   November 4th, 2008 6:43 pm ET

Congrats On Your Landslide Victory PRESIDENT OBAMA!

Brad   November 4th, 2008 6:43 pm ET

And this, my friends, is why McCain will lose.

What will become of this country if Obama wins?

We will be doomed.

please people, vote for the RIGHT..the ONLY right leader. John McCain!

At least Obama vs. Ron Paul would have been an interesting race!

Well this just proves that the old addage is really true then, that the road to hell is paved with republicans!

abcxyz   November 4th, 2008 6:43 pm ET

I can only hope that Obama doesn't do too much damage to this country before his four years are up (no way he is re-elected after everyone sees how he's lied). Scary, scary man.

John   November 4th, 2008 6:43 pm ET

In his last hours in the spotlight, I hope that McCain actually feels this negativity is actually worth it.

Joe   November 4th, 2008 6:42 pm ET

Hey all you liberal pukes!

If you actually knew anything about politics and what Obama wants, you would recognize it as socialism. Castro is a socialist and a communist. Do you want that kind of person running the country? Do you want your daily lives regulated?

Didn't think so.
Think before you post.

bob   November 4th, 2008 6:42 pm ET

well Mccain is right.
But Obama will win and remove lincoln as the least qualified person to be the president of the united states.

o.m.g. ... it is sooo over... and they KNOW it.

Otis   November 4th, 2008 6:42 pm ET

At least you'll get public health care, then. : )

Mugabe   November 4th, 2008 6:42 pm ET

Per Mrs. Obama, we know that Obama is smelly and snorey.

Have you ever met a Marxist that did not smell?

thx_but_no_mcbadmouth   November 4th, 2008 6:42 pm ET

It's too sad for the Republicans that the McCain campaign hasn't learned up to the last moment that playing rove-style tricks disgust most undecided voters. They want solutions and unity, not disinformation.

Some candidate may have been thinking here: "What has Obama to do with this ? Nothing, really. But some desinformed folks may be scared by it, so let's run the message. But make it a Robo-call, as I can't have anything to do with it."

Please vote scare politics out of the white house. 8 years have been enough.

Susie   November 4th, 2008 6:42 pm ET

Sounds like the silly old coot is suffering from advanced dementia!

B   November 4th, 2008 6:42 pm ET

How sad. I used to have a lot of respect for Senator McCain – he lost my vote with his VP selection, he has lost all sense of decency with this 11th hour insanity

Ken in NC   November 4th, 2008 6:42 pm ET

Someone needs to take McCain out back of the wood shed and paddle his A$$. This man has lost the respect of a nation all for the sake of winning. I hope it was worth it to him.

J Schuh   November 4th, 2008 6:42 pm ET

What, is Karl Rove advising his campaign now? I really thought about voting for McCain this summer, but crap like this is why I changed my mind, more so than anything Obama has done to impress me. I really believe that McCain once had principles but he has sold his soul to win the Republican base. Honestly, is there a Rep. that has anything positive to say? How about talking about your vivsion for positive change rather than fear mongering and predicting doom and gloom for this country.

Don   November 4th, 2008 6:42 pm ET

WE don not need a president who is TOTALLY INSANE as is McCain

Betty   November 4th, 2008 6:42 pm ET

And they accuse Obama of terrorism?

Joe   November 4th, 2008 6:41 pm ET

nobody will remember the smear smear in 2 months.

mark   November 4th, 2008 6:41 pm ET

WOWOW,
any links to the source of this statement by Obama?

oh, just like all the repub talking heads on TV...

Moderator: "Name me one instance of (choose your Obama slander)"

Repub Talking Head: " "

Pathetic, lemming following the party line; or just a last McCain field worker getting off one last dig before turning the lights out.

nyc loves obama   November 4th, 2008 6:41 pm ET

sad pathetic man. I almost feel bad that he's making himself look so stupid. but wait... no... I really don't.

nyc is buzzing with excitement for Obama!

Anonymous   November 4th, 2008 6:41 pm ET

The truth is that there is NO country that would like to see McCain win so they are really stooping to desperate measures – but are we really surprised at this?

Carroll   November 4th, 2008 6:41 pm ET

I have followed Jonh McCain for years and as a registered Democrat I thought he was one Republican I could really vote for. But the past month of this campaign has proved he has changed and is now sinking to new lows just to get elected. John we hardly knew you.

HouseDiva   November 4th, 2008 6:41 pm ET

First the RNC pays some crackhead to dress in black while holding a nightstick...knowing darn well that giving the crackhead a gun may backfire on them....and now this.

evil till the last drop.

Andrew   November 4th, 2008 6:41 pm ET

This is a pretty low blow, even coming from the McCain-Palin campaign. I'm tired of hearing stupid slander like this. Pretty shameful indeed

Nodtveidt   November 4th, 2008 6:41 pm ET

Not only is this kind of slandering illegal, but ill-placed and counter productive. Lest McCain forget that the vast majority of Cuban-Americans LOVE their home country and follow their leader? This ad spits in their faces, as it implies that Cuban policy is wrong. This will do nothing more than turn these voters away from McCain and towards Obama. Way to go, McCain...

Rita in SC   November 4th, 2008 6:41 pm ET

Obama is an a.hole and a flaming radical bent on destroying US. And that Joe? Now HE'S a liar!

McCain/Palen '08

Britta - FT Hood, TX   November 4th, 2008 6:41 pm ET

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree...wasn't it a certain Senator McCain denouncing certain PAST politicians for their dirty smear campaigns in past elections? Just goes to show that under that under that facade of "Country First" lies the truth: "McCain First – No Matter What We Have to Say or Do to Get There"...

larry   November 4th, 2008 6:41 pm ET

McCain won on being the ugly one

CC in Ca   November 4th, 2008 6:41 pm ET

Seriously. This tactic underscores why I throw my trust and faith behind a man so solid and unflappable. Obama is the leader we need. Someone the world can respect and identify with, someone who does not stoop to such tactics, and someone who believes that just because you choose peace does not make you un-American and non-supportive of our military.

dick delson   November 4th, 2008 6:41 pm ET

A year ago, I thought McCain was a coll guy. Now I'm convinced he's lost his mind. And if anyone needs any further proof, look no further than Sarah Palin.

Savannah   November 4th, 2008 6:41 pm ET

This was going around from Cuban Americans before it came out from John McCain. Castro was for change, people accepted enthusiastically without question and look what happened to those people.

Andy von Guerard   November 4th, 2008 6:41 pm ET

You people are fools. There is a reason that Castro and other leaders like him (Ortega, Chavez) like Barack Obama and that is his social policies are socialist. They are socialist in their very definition, in the sense that government control of the economy is socialist. That being said messier McCain is just as big as a socialist (military spending, the Bailout, corporate welfare) as Obama and neither of these egomanics should be voted into office.

Michael F. O'Boaill   November 4th, 2008 6:41 pm ET

I bought a bumper sticker online yesterday, in anticipation of an Obama win. It reads: "MANY PEOPLE, ONE NATION". I was feeling like we need to get along. Forget it! I'm ordering a different bumber sticker: "DEPORT REPUBLICANS"

Hoop   November 4th, 2008 6:41 pm ET

How far are these people going to go with the mud slinging. Enough is enough! McCain is just making himself look real nuts!!!!!

Voice of Tahoe   November 4th, 2008 6:41 pm ET

If Obama wins our country will suffer. I hope the last minute efforts of McCain pay off.

Go Democrats!!

Mary   November 4th, 2008 6:41 pm ET

I proudly voted for McCain/Palin.
I can't believe how naive you Obama voters are. Maybe McCain can come from behind, but I dread the state of the US when Obama takes control.

Cris   November 4th, 2008 6:40 pm ET

WAKE UP AMERICA!!! THIS IS OUR TIME FOR CHANGE!

COLORADO   November 4th, 2008 6:40 pm ET

Oh, Moses, smell the roses! Oh yeah, McCain? Then McCain will be like Charles McCarthy if he were to be president? Actually that is more likely than your Castro claim.

Roger   November 4th, 2008 6:40 pm ET

Your headline writer got it wrong. Nowhere in the robo call text does McCain say Obama would be like Castro. The text says under Obama we would get political policies like Cuban. As a libertarian, that is certainly something I fear. We got some under Bush and will likely get more under someone like Obama who believes in the myth of a "living" Consitution that says whatever he wants it to say. That is Castro-like.

chris in alaska   November 4th, 2008 6:40 pm ET

More fearmongering, more outdated rhetoric, and more "If we can't get your vote based on merit then can we at least get your vote based on trashtalking "that one"? Sad...but revealing and confirmatory. Talk about morning in America...thank goodness the nightmare seems to be ending! Barack the vote indeed ! Woo-hoo !

the god   November 4th, 2008 6:40 pm ET

Does the McCain campaign know that al Qaeda has endorsed John McCain? They endorsed him because they know he will continue the George W. Bush cowboy justice in the Middle East.

Angel   November 4th, 2008 6:40 pm ET

okay anyone who falls for this crap is just out right stupid.......

Sean   November 4th, 2008 6:40 pm ET

Wuts the problem here??? Everyone has voted by now. If Castro likes Obama so wut??? McCain is telling the truth. That doesn't mean Castro will be like Obama. Lets just get through this and tomorrow, John McCain can sleep well knowing that he is the president elect.

jane   November 4th, 2008 6:40 pm ET

Can anyone say: 'slimy bastard'? If McCain gets in I am seriously going to be sick! It's not surprising that McCain and Palin have resorted to the typical Republican smear and scare tactics – they want to win at all costs, not caring about truth and reality.

Jamshid   November 4th, 2008 6:40 pm ET

This is ridiculous::.

An Independent Hillary   November 4th, 2008 6:40 pm ET

I voted for your Messiah Obama, and you Obamabots still show your ugly selves in these pages. Go away already! You guys are almost as bad as that crazy lady at the McCain rally who called Obama an Arab.

I only pray that Obama has what it takes to get this country back on track.

Deirdre Hebert   November 4th, 2008 6:40 pm ET

I've lost all respect I formerly had for McCain. I did my time in the military, and McCain was one man for whom I had respect, but he's worked hard to destroy it, and done so successfully.

pirmin   November 4th, 2008 6:40 pm ET

wow this is a pretty lame stretch of 11th-hour desperation...time to totter off to the old folks' home, john, and take your little alaskan lap dog with you. LoL.

Brensley   November 4th, 2008 6:40 pm ET

Why should MCCAIN and PALIN give up? At least MCCAIN loves and is dedicated to our country! I want someone in charge who knows what they are doing. Also, I am tired of hearing all of the racist comments about white people. Racism is not just 1 sided. I love my country and want someone who I can depend on and is strong in charge!

MCCAIN and PALIN all the way!!!!

ROGER IN THE VIRGINIA VALLEY.   November 4th, 2008 6:40 pm ET

POOR JOHN, HE JUST CANT HELP HIMSELF. IN 45 YEARS OF VOTING IN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS, I JUST CANNOT REMEMBER ANYTHING LIKE THE DEGREE OF SMEAR, LIE AND DIVISION HE AND PALIN HAVE BROUGHT TO THIS ELECTION.

RS   November 4th, 2008 6:40 pm ET

This is awful. I cannot believe they've gotten that desperate

Ed   November 4th, 2008 6:40 pm ET

McCain stated facts in his call. Castro and other dictators prefer Obama. Sorry if you don't like it when Republicans state facts, but this is a fact. Why they prefer Obama is up for the voter to decide. I think it's because they know Obama is indecisive and America's enimies will be able to get away with more without fear of retaliation. They all know that a country run by Obama, Pelosi and reid would never use our military against another country no matter how outrageous their acts.

And is McCain did run a dirty ad, he'd have to sink very low to get down there with Obama on ads showing McCain's melanoma surgery or stating McCain can't send emails. The reason he can't send them is because of war injuries. So save you holier than though language.

Young Legend   November 4th, 2008 6:39 pm ET

When will he stop taking shots at obama? All McCains ads aim at obama, he doesnt talk about what he's gonna do for this country. He's only hurting himself by doing this.

Dennis   November 4th, 2008 6:39 pm ET

The Repugnant-cans have absolutely no shame. This reeks of desperation!

CM   November 4th, 2008 6:39 pm ET

Enough fear tactics!
Karl Rove's disgusting lessons live on. You would think that after having experienced this kind of horrendous smearing in 2000 by the turdblossom, McCain would know better. Goes to show you that the epiteth McSame is not just a figurative one.

Christopher   November 4th, 2008 6:39 pm ET

McCain has ruined the Republican party. If you are a Republican, and you disagree with me, you are wrong.

Jenny in San Diego   November 4th, 2008 6:39 pm ET

The old guy is losing his fuel....he has no more talking points! RIDICULOUS! Obama 08!! YEAH

Jason E.   November 4th, 2008 6:39 pm ET

Isn't that just the icing on the fruit cake that is McCain's campaign? I know of one serious issue that needs to be rectified in the next four years – all these dishonest and slanderous election tactics. Yes, Sen. McCain, I know what a tactic is. And your party's, and their supporters, tactics are inexcusable. Phone calls and pamphlets that threaten voters of being arrested if they attempt to vote, try to convince them that they are not allowed to vote, or telling them that Democratic voters are supposed to vote tomorrow; this type of thing is absolutely intolerable and is something that should never happen and moreover should be much more investigated than it is now. The GOP has displayed more Fascist demeanor than I believe this country has ever seen.

jonathan   November 4th, 2008 6:39 pm ET

Good for McCain. Hopefully he will wake some people up.

Mike T. Vaughn   November 4th, 2008 6:39 pm ET

McCain is not a War Hero, He's a Racist and promotes Racism...........no true American Hero promotes fear and racism of his Fellow American.........next he'll be judging the Blind and Handicap...........or whoever else he thinks is not for him.

joeR   November 4th, 2008 6:39 pm ET

Lauren- how much can Barack Obama reach across the aisle when he's voted with his own party 97% of the time? He hates Republicans/conservatives. If someone's policies are very similar to Castro, how can you say that he isn't like Castro?

I know radicals and I know the definition of socialism. Any one with half a brain will regret their vote for Obama over the course of the next few years. And those who do vote for him can blame themselves for the suffering he will lay on America for generations to come.

Doug Findley   November 4th, 2008 6:39 pm ET

A vivid example of the difference between a man of substance (Obama) and a whining, desperate old man (Mccain). The two candidates have shown us what they are, now the future of our country is up to us.

Chui   November 4th, 2008 6:38 pm ET

Typical of right wing politics. They would do and say anything to win. They are morally bankrupt.

pooh2   November 4th, 2008 6:38 pm ET

Pete   November 4th, 2008 6:38 pm ET

Chi4Obama   November 4th, 2008 6:38 pm ET

Hey McCain,
At least Castro is consistent, and stands up for what he believes in.

That is more than I can say for you....This is why you will not be POTUS.

By the way, you are not a Maverick either. So quit calling yourself one.

Trish   November 4th, 2008 6:38 pm ET

And speaking of Cuba, maybe we can finally lift that ridiculous travel ban!

Desperation sure gives great laughter. Too bad John Mccain will wake up in a month or so and have such a hangover from all this he'll hate himself more than any of us already do. He USED to be a respectable man. Leave it to the GOP to corrupt anyone.

Shame on you CNN for running this gutter tripe. It's bad enough that McCain stoops this low, but when you act as his mouthpiece, you stoop with him. This is not journalism, this is fear and hate mongering.

Where are your standards CNN????

McCain is so ridiculous I don't get where all the Right Wing people are getting any of this stuff from. McCain has tarnished his legacy what a low road for the campaign. There is not one thing that Obama is offering that is "radical" I don't care what people like to say. This is just so disgusting McCain has divided this country more than it was before the election started, now we need Obama to be elected so he can bring it back together.

I stood in line for 2 1/2 hours (WELL WORTH IT,) this morning to exercise one of my civil liberties! I am proud to wear the "I voted" sticker. What I am most proud of, is that I seen a makeup of generations, different ethnicities, skin hues, people from all walks of life; I am talking about from the elderly, to the first time 18 year old voter who was just grinning ear to ear because she was casting her vote for the first time. I had the pleasure of voting with my grandparents today because they live in the same district that I do. Grandpa came to pick me up early (TOO CUTE) to make sure I went to vote before he dropped me off at work. My grandfather is a retired Air Force Veteran, who walks with a cane now, but he stood in line just as proud as could be, with tears in his eyes because he knows that history (were praying) will be made on tonight! Now I am not telling anyone who to vote for because we have the freedom of choice, so long as you vote! May the Lord Jesus Christ continue to bless and keep you all, and may his peace be with you until we meet again, or we meet at Jesus feet!

Here is to the end of a republican nightmare, and hopefully all the disinfranchised repubs can find a new party to join AKA conservative Democrats.

Geez, what's next? McCain will probably say Osama bin Laden endorses Obama if he hasn't done so already. McCain continues to show us why he runs the "Me First, Country Last" campaign.

djak   November 4th, 2008 6:35 pm ET

Isn't that kind of like throwing yourself in front of the Obama train, McCain? And yet...you are predicting a "come-from-behind victory". How? Hasn't this entire campaign taught you yet, that you lose when you try to instill fear? It was done by the Bush campaign, but people aren't so willing to be fooled again.

Dave in Indy   November 4th, 2008 6:35 pm ET

Collin Kelley   November 4th, 2008 6:34 pm ET

McCain should be ashamed of himself for these kinds of slurs. He also promised not to jump on Rev. Wright, but here in Georgia, the negative ads from one of the 527s have been playing hourly. Shame on you, McCain.

Wow, you libs really don't like hearing the truth, do you?

Candy A   November 4th, 2008 6:33 pm ET

I am an Native American living in Idaho in a small village. I didn't like the way McCain made faces when Obama talked. I was taught that was very disrespectful by my Mother and that when someone is talking whether you disagree with what they say, you respect their ideas. Also, just because Paiin wore a pair of beaded earrings doesn't mean she is friends with Native American's, you can buy beaded earrings of any type anywhere. Why don't politicians just talk about what they can offer the US of A and not criticize other candidates.

Cindy   November 4th, 2008 6:33 pm ET

Give it up McCain. You are so pathetic.

Don't let the door hit you and Palin on the way out!

Concerned Cuban   November 4th, 2008 6:33 pm ET

This is a shameless tactic! I hope my fellow Cuban-Americans do not fall for this BS! This is mud-slinging at its worst, If McCain wins I will be seriously considering moving to Canada! The US will not be socialist or communist, shame of those naive enough to believe this.

Andy   November 4th, 2008 6:33 pm ET

McCain/Palin proved that they are simply pathetic using a message like that. It only proves that they are truly out of touch with the world and reality. Red-baiting went out of style and value over 30 years ago.

Arlene Perez   November 4th, 2008 6:33 pm ET

And he calls himself an "agent of change"?!?!?!?!?!

This is absolutely appalling and John McCain should be ashamed of himself. I guess he has zero confidence in himself or his campaign because this is lower than Karl Rove. Thanks McCain; thanks for further confirming what I've thought about you all along.

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

Hey, whatever it takes to keep that idiot ego-maniac Obama out of the CASA BLANCA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Linda Barker. United Kingdom   November 4th, 2008 6:33 pm ET

p.s. Casto is right, Obama is smarter and more sophisticated than John McCain.

Tom H   November 4th, 2008 6:33 pm ET

John McCain is a transformational politician, from American hero to dirt bag.

Good bye Johnny   November 4th, 2008 6:32 pm ET

McCain, you have dishonored yourself by running the lowest and dirtiest campaign ever.
Your name will not be forgotten as a total sellout to the forces of fear and intolerance of this country

David   November 4th, 2008 6:32 pm ET

What a disgraceful and appalling campaign.

McCain needs to grow up a become a man.

Obama is nowhere near the same as Castro. Get a grip!

Obama is not a socialist and will do nothing to mimic the Cuban government. Can McCain not offer anything other than fear to try and get people to vote for him.

McCain offer something up and give people a reason to vote for you instead of this fear-mongering.

You offer nothing and will give nothing if elected-you are an empty politician without a vision for this country.

Obama put his vision forward why can you not do the same?

He's the boogeyman so vote for me.

What are you hiding McCain?

Shiva   November 4th, 2008 6:32 pm ET

Tsk..tsk... So dirty and downright shameful... playing on the emotions of people. I used to respect McCain. How can he be a hero and play so dirty? Where is the honor in this? Very sad and disappointing indeed.

Griff   November 4th, 2008 6:32 pm ET

No! I disagree with John McCain... Haa! Haa, Haa! Said Barack Obama. "Idi Amin", during Carters Reign. Listen to his, (Borac Obama's) Laugh when he was the Pied-piper. But then how could CNN know. I Do! Idi Amin kept he's foes "Heads", on display in his own Abatoir. ..Beware Wolf you could be next.,.

bob j   November 4th, 2008 6:32 pm ET

What the heck??? I'm speachless. Did they think because it was in Spanish no one would here about this?

Kenneth   November 4th, 2008 6:32 pm ET

WOW...JUST WOW how low will McCain stoop? WOW tell me no one really got a robo-call like this! Someone said Ridiculous ...no no no ...ITS Ridiculous to the NTH POWER!

paula   November 4th, 2008 6:32 pm ET

McCain is pathetic and he will be remembered from now on that way.

Janet   November 4th, 2008 6:32 pm ET

This is unbelievable...a desperate attempt to snag some minority votes in the final hour of McCain's unethical campaign using... again...LIES.

Missouri in Philly   November 4th, 2008 6:32 pm ET

Can't be slander if it's true...

Matt   November 4th, 2008 6:31 pm ET

That's it? That's his hail mary? I hope the republicans learn from this and end the personal-smear, fear-mongering campaigning style...but somehow I doubt it...

Jake in Portland OR   November 4th, 2008 6:31 pm ET

Wow... a new low for the so-called maverick. Must be hanging around Karl Rove again.

Vicki5   November 4th, 2008 6:31 pm ET

This is funny! McCain is actually campaigning for Obama by telling people that others think Obama is smarter and more sophisticated than he is. How stupid. This must have been Rude Giluiani's idea.......cracks me up.

Peter (CA)   November 4th, 2008 6:31 pm ET

Just as you thought the campaign could not get any lower.......ta-da!

Bravo McCain, bravo Republicans. I can see you will be reaching across the aisle for the next four years, won't you?

Don't know what is worse....this stuff that is expected from McCain or the posts on here with people who agree with it...

JN   November 4th, 2008 6:31 pm ET

ObamaVoter   November 4th, 2008 6:31 pm ET

Sounds like someone is bitter. The statement of Obama being like Castro is just another lie. McShame/Poolin have nothing better to do but still bring this crap to the table. McCain, you really should be ashamed of yourself. Stop talking about other world leaders, the one we have right now messed us up Big TIME!!!!!

You would too if you won by cheat!!!!!!!

Independent in Ohio   November 4th, 2008 6:31 pm ET

McCain is an idiot

Voted Obama

Nick   November 4th, 2008 6:31 pm ET

You mean like limiting what can be broadcast on tv and radio?

Oh, that's right, for a party opposed to big government, you sure like to enforce your morals onto others and restrict what can be broadcast.

Donna   November 4th, 2008 6:31 pm ET

What is even more hilarious would be if the McCain supporters were at home to get the call instead of out voting for him..

Rob Johnson   November 4th, 2008 6:31 pm ET

I have to go back to the McCarthy hearings for the appropriate quote:

"Have you no shame, Senator? At long last, have you no shame at all?"

Dr. Molly   November 4th, 2008 6:31 pm ET

so sad that this honorable man had sunk so low...Can't wait to hear the world's reaction to Obama winning (KEEP HOPE ALIVE!!)
as a 56 year old white woman (and world traveler) I couldn't be more proud!

Lillie   November 4th, 2008 6:31 pm ET

They insulted women with the Palin pick and now they insult Cuban Americans! How stupid they think we all are!!! GOODBYE McCain hello Obama

Frances C. Potter   November 4th, 2008 6:30 pm ET

If Mac Cain and Sara Palin would be as chrisitans as they claim to be , they would not try to win the election by lies and slender,instead by there own qualifications. however in the two years of pr-election
they have shown there true colors.just like a republican!

rdiven   November 4th, 2008 6:30 pm ET

Its Republican and its called propaganda...

Robin   November 4th, 2008 6:30 pm ET

I received a call from the Republican Party the other saying that voting democrat will "embolden al Qaeda". Are you kidding me? This is exactly the same thing. I mean seriously....how desparate do you have to be??

drew   November 4th, 2008 6:30 pm ET

I can not believe mccain is still pulling this win at any cost campaign.

it makes me wanna go to the polls and tell everyone there is video of mccain killing kids in vietnam

Raynell Williams   November 4th, 2008 6:30 pm ET

This is the last straw!! Literally. Let him finished what he started and let's all watch him eat crow for the next 2 years.

Nick   November 4th, 2008 6:30 pm ET

And? They got good food and fine cigars.

All joking aside, that's the best? Still? What happened, people don't remember who Marx was?

Melissa   November 4th, 2008 6:29 pm ET

You know.. thats it... I've come to the conclusion that McBush is just a slimey nogood jerk bent on doing anything he can for power. It disgusts me.

francheska ;-)   November 4th, 2008 6:29 pm ET

The McCain/Palin camps needs to get out of the gutter!! Obama might represent the one last chance to actually get Castro to open up and have Cuba join the world again. This is a scare tatic by the McCain/Palin and the RNC camp and they should be ashamed of themselves for trying to scare Cuban-Americans into believing this kind of crap. Cuban-Americans are highly intelligent people, they will see this for it is...a toilet move...

The Artful Dodger   November 4th, 2008 6:29 pm ET

And what if Obama had the same level of dignity McCain does? What would that robocall sound like? Pick your despot, mix him in with a large dose of incompetence, and some McCarthyism and George Wallace, and you've got your next President, if McCain wins.

GIVE PEACE A CHANCE, VOTE A STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC TICKET!   November 4th, 2008 6:29 pm ET

Ben in NC   November 4th, 2008 6:29 pm ET

He won't be just like Castro. If you compare the two (McCain vs. Obama), Obama will be more like Castro.

Simmy   November 4th, 2008 6:29 pm ET

If Sidekick McCain and Sideshow Palin are elected, Canada here we come! I think America has come far enough to say no to those two!

Theresa   November 4th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

I think this truly shows that they (McCain + Paylin) will resort to whatever low blows they have to get elected.

I am a Canadian – but I know what happens in the US politically has a backlash against our country (in some regards).

I just pray that if American's aren't bright enough to elect Obama – he will be always welcome to come to Canada. I for one would welcome him with open arms.
T.

D-mac   November 4th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

I've seen everything this year, but surely not even the McCain campaign would have released something like this. It just reads wrong. How was this confirmed to have originated from within the campaign?

Sue   November 4th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

This is sick sick sick–and so sad to stoop this low at the last minute. I always respected John McCain and figured he would be an OK president even though I was not voting for him. No longer–he lost my respect over this one. What happened to integrity? What is even more sick is the news media is not blasting these messages for what they are. Or confirm or dispute that the RNC or McCain campaign actually sent them.

ww   November 4th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

Impressive how low McCain will go. From a 'war hero' to low ball mud slinging.

I don't know what McCain's policies are, but I know the countless attacks on Obama. Irrelevant attacks. But I guess if you lie long enough, some people will believe it. But I'm not voting for a president who's campaign is to lie. We had 8 years of Bush for that.

Peter   November 4th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

Simply a low act. Palin has never had dignity, does McCain want to leave this campaign with his reputation in the gutter too???

Real Change   November 4th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

Just when I started to feel a little slight soft spot in my heart for the Repug they do a fine job of reminding me what sub human, repugnant people they are. They deserve to be humiliarted tonight and I hope they are.

AMAZED   November 4th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

I cannot believe the desperation of this campaign nor the lack of ethical and moral standards for a campaign that claims to be based in the religious conservative movement. Run on your laurels and your platform not scare tactics and ridiculous accusations. As a Repulican I am embarrased and although I have reservations about Barack, I definitely do not want a president who would stoop to actions such as this. On a side note, do we really want to give Castro any credibility. Who says he doesn't want McCain and said something to try to help get him elected in a swing state. This is AMAZING!!!

deb in Colo   November 4th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

So when exactly does McCain stop the mudslinging??

Wacky Obacky   November 4th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

It will be much WORSE than with Castro. Obama has much more that he can destroy and lose...such as the world's last and best chance for democracy.

And I thought Dubya was bad enough with his terrorism scare tactics. This is inexcusable, John McCain.

Phil the Engineer   November 4th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

For a while I was blaming the obvious lies and fabrications on McCain's staff; but he has had enough time to lay down the law regarding just-making-stuff-up. I voted for him in the primary, but now am ashamed of having done so.

Chi4Obama   November 4th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

John McShame,
You can kiss any possiblity of a position in Obama's cabinet...Bye-bye.

Back to the senate you go.

Moriah from Henderson, NV   November 4th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

Absolutely absurd.

McCain really is grasping at straws isn't he?

Dems Have Brains   November 4th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

This is so shameful. McCain deserves to lose just based on this disgusting call. How does the man look himself in the mirror?

Thank God for Obama.

Paul DObro   November 4th, 2008 6:27 pm ET

Desperation oh oh oh des-per-a-a-ation Your going to lose!!!

I love him campaigning in Colorado when over 60% had voted early and probably about 20% were not going to vote!!!!

Florida for Obama   November 4th, 2008 6:27 pm ET

Give it up McCain. Now Obama is like Bush and Castro? What now? Running out of talking points. Can't figure out what to say tomorrow for your last speech. You voted for Bush 90% and Obama is somehow like Bush. It might please your party who simply will parrot away every stupid little thing that you say. But not the other half who really want change.

kathy in nc   November 4th, 2008 6:27 pm ET

It's comments like this that turned me off McCain. Picking Palin was bad enough, but he's gone downhill since. I miss the John from 2000

sue/seattle   November 4th, 2008 6:27 pm ET

How pathetic. McCain will say or do anything–even things he knows are untrue–to win. It's time to go to the home of your choice.Senator McCain

Poor John McCain he is just fishing for any little thing cause he knows that he's not going to win. OBAMA/BIDEN 08

McCain knows that he lost.

Raymund   November 4th, 2008 6:27 pm ET

Ha, ha, ha! Enough already McSame. Those scare tactics aren't going to work. The American people have decided . . . and they have not listened to your and your party's distortion and lies.

Barack is going to restore respect and moral leadership for America.

God bless this country and its people! God bless the new American leader . . . PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA!

Chi4Obama   November 4th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

McCain and Palin,
In about 24 hours, both of you will be completely irrlevant.

Shame on both of you for all of your dirty politics throughout this campaign season.

Oregonians for OBAMA!   November 4th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

Absolutely ridiculuous. As a former registered Republican I am disgusted by how desperate they have become. Scum sucking bottom dwellers.

Conrad Schoenleber   November 4th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

Yes, Obama will prevent all forms of dissent, rule even for life and go so far as to kill all those against him.

Come on, this is shameless and ridiculous.
Let's let the polls do the talking.

Linda Barker. United Kingdom   November 4th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

Is there no depths to which these republicans will not sink? I have never in my life been so disgusted with your American politics.
Pray that a decent intelligent man will win the day. Obama I wish you well in your quest.

Mike Philly   November 4th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

LOL. Desperate much? I can't believe they're still wasting their money. Don't they get it? They lost!

Dan McCullough   November 4th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

It doesn't get much more desperate than this, folks.

Julie Martenson   November 4th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

John McCain does not deserve to win, neither did Bush. This is garbage. It's like cheating on an exam in school, you know in the end you didn't deserve to win.

Mr. McCain's transformation from the good guy of the 2000 Republican primaries to the basest of demagogues really is tragic. I honestly feel sorry for him. Voted for Obama, though.

If these people fall for this lame negative batch of lies then they are fools.

Mc'NOshame is out of ideas and out of hope. If he wins it's because he steals the election like his good buddy Bush. He is so out of tune with what America and the world needs.

Eddie, City of Angels   November 4th, 2008 6:25 pm ET

Just like Castro = Will win re-election over and over again as long as the people never have to face a brutal dictatorship like the one under Bu- ah, I mean, Batista...

It worked the last two elections but not today–the politics of fear and hate are defeated in this election. One more thing John–your legacy is now officially ruined.

I am sick sick sick about this and It will be a sad day for our country If he wins. probly world war 3!!!!!

this is disgusting, haven't we moved past labeling our opponents communists?

Steve   November 4th, 2008 6:24 pm ET

Does McCain ever offer a positive view of his own policies and positions? ... it doesn't seem right that best arguement is to persuade us how much worse "that one" might be.
If McCain wins, expect a "downer" of an administration that continues Bush economic policies.

And with this, John McCain finally shows us his true colors. I've been waiting for it and here it is. Those of you who would have this man be president should be so proud of this, his finest hour.

It doesn't surprise me that an individual morally bankrupt enough to leave his wife for a younger, richer piece after she waited for him for YEARS would sink to these depths.

Yes, these are truly the actions of a war hero, my friends.

BTW................Obama could see the White House from the Illinois polls this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Red, Red WHINE!!   November 4th, 2008 6:23 pm ET

I'll tell you what...Castro is a better leader then McCain. Atleast he stands up for his country and doesn't commit treason. McCain on the other hand rolled over like a coward and made 32 propoganda films and divulged sensitive information to the enemy.

McCain is complete garbage and would be a culmination of all the worse policies of Bush, Stalin, Hitler and Sadam Hussein combined. He's a proven traitor and should be tried and charged with treason! Pathetic old man with no honor and a deep hate for this country.

Obama, the TRUE hero that hasn't turned his back on his wife, his country or his party!
