Barack Obama’s friend tried to kill my family…
…and the other lies you are going to hear.
This election is going down the pan - and it is Republicans and John McCain who is taking it there.
How much does a man detest his country when he doesn’t do anything other than attack and try to dig dirt on his opponent. Not only dirt - and a disgusting way such as sending out e-mails that are not remotely true. John McCain would rather be in power than anything else - he is motivated by his insecurity at having successful kin, his father and grand father and he needs to go one better, and what is better than being the president.
John McCain doesn’t even like Barack Obama - that isn’t a prerequisite with being president - we could even say that this was his real motivation, but it isn’t. McCain is a vile man who will do anything, even lying to the American people repeatedly. While he does this people should be asking what is John McCain’s record - yes, even his POW record. There is many things out there where you can read the truth - I admire the Obama campaign for not bringing it to your attention. I blogged about it the other day and the Rolling Stone article is on this blog for you to read.
But it just isn’t about the lies McCain says - it is about McCain the man.
While McCain goes negative and more vile than normal I would ask that all of us who blog begin to show the real John McCain. The real McCain who is hopeless and wants to take the USA further down the road of Bush policy. We know that McCain will now, no longer, talk issues - that race is over. Come the next debate I hope upon hope that Obama shows people what this man is really about - and that isn’t about helping the American people get out of this mess - a mess that Bush and McCain got them into.

Man did you hit the nail on the head.
I used to respect and admir John McCain. But his lust for the Presidency, plus his win at all costs attitude and actions, have besmirched his image, and leaves me shaking my head.
Isn’t there a single Republican willing to tell him this is the surest way to LOSE the election?

Why, if I could ask, do you think that Republicans want him to win the election?

That’s an interesting question, Will. Do you think they’re already looking to 2012?
I started watching with as open a mind as I could. I imagined myself as an audience member. Very early on, when he told me I’d probably not ever heard of Freddie or Fannie, I took umbrage. I required myself to do much work to regain my inner equilibrium.

Hi Muse
The Republican ‘brand’ is tanking in the US - and we all know why that is. The economy. But just to give you a little prediction (not that I do this often, lol) John McCain has been pushed against a corner - and the reason is that his HAS to distance himself from George Bush - but, and this is the important bit, Bush may be detested across the US, but the neocons and a large number of the GOP Republicans still like him, and like him a lot.
That, my dear friend, is where this anomaly is - for McCain to keep distancing himself from Bush - he has to distance himself from the core base who like Bush. THAT is what will count, I would say, in the last two weeks of this campaign. You watch the Obama camp digging at McCain because he has moved, not away from Bush, but away from what the GOP core base see as Republican values. And to bring that back into balance - guess who will have to, once again, endorse McCain - yep, you guessed it, George Bush.

I’ve watched many political elections, and I’ve seen mud sling. The worst was when they tore down Kerry. Now it’s Obama. I hope the American people really check out the canadates. There is so much out there and the one with the darkest past is McCain. I don’t like what I see, read, or hear. I’m not Dem or Rep but with all my research my choice is made Obama in 08. The more I see of McCain the more I dislike him. He and Palin keep bringing up Ayers when Obama never knew him in the 60’s. What about McCain and Contra or Palin and the Sepratist who want Alaska to be it’s own country? They where involved and active with these groups. Well I guess those who are guilty accuse everyone else the loudest and McCain is loud. KEATIN 5. McCain offers no real solutions to todays problems and his grand idea of buying up morgages was already in play with the ballout go to factcheck.com it explains thats not his idea.

McCain is such a joke… Earlier I watched an interview with McCain and Palin and I am not exaggerating when I say the entire interview was dedicated to bashing Obama.
It seems to me that McCain’s campaign is oblivious to the image they are portraying. They don’t realize that the only people interested in their smears are the neocons who feed off of these sort of conspiracy theories that are steep with holes and opinions - no facts.
What a pathetic group of “one trick ponies”! Like Fred Evil, I used to have deep admiration for McCain but as the days go by continue to lose respect for him. It started with the ridiculous Sarah Palin pick. No one takes her seriously. Women can’t stand her and men want to see her naked. What a joke. My current perception of him is out-of-touch, evil, desperate, and poor character.
Thank you for your service for this country McCain, but please using it to appeal to Americans emotions for sympathy and try to appeal to our intellect and our everyday issues.

It’s realy sad to see John McCain heading down this path. In 2000 i would have voted for McCain and i have never voted Republican in my entire voting history but now, John McCain is not the man i admired back then. His constant contempt for Obama is reaking out any positive message he might have said. His pick of Palin? What the?
I only wish some one would ask who is the real Palin, i mean her husband was a member of the AIP, i mean she does go to a church where they believe in casting out witches, so who is the real Palin?

What are you talking about, Willy?
I am the real McCain. It was Obama who had connections to that terror group when he was a child. It’s his roots.
And I approve all messages against that Obama-terrorist.

You know, I just got through reading this commentary on the “News Busters” a conservative thinktank—now, there’s a paradox if I ever heard one—whose mission is to expose the alleged “liberal bias in the media”. They wrote a whole story on how a member of Obama’s staff called Hannity “anti-Semitic”. Of course, that was God-awful. I mean, why wouldn’t this man allow Hannity to get a word in edgewise? Why did he suppose guilt by association? Why did he keep talking, giving Hannnity point after point to comment on, and then make an outlandish assertion in the end? Man, poor Hannity. That was terrible. But wait—isn’t that what Hannity does all the time? Isn’t that what O’Reilly does all the time? So it’s so terrible when someone turns the tables on a conservative idiot, and gives them a taste of their own medicine. News Busters just got busted.

McCain is a simple minded fool. He hates America. He blames America for his misfortune - even though its his own stupidity that allowed for his own failures in life. He is a spoiled old man who still has the mentality of that spoiled kid who used his parents connections to get into a school that would never have looked at him twice. Affairs. Lies. Hate. That sums up McCain. America owes nothing to John Sidney McCain, but he sure owes alot to those people whose lives he made miserable: everyone who lost their investments in the Keating Five scandal, and most definitely his first wife. Shameful old man - that’s how he will be remembered.

First Obama claims that over a TWENTY YEAR period, he never heard a single anti-American racist sermon from Jeremiah Wright … never noticed the anti-American racist literature in the church’s lobby … never agreed to the ‘Black Values System’ that all the church members swore to … never subscribed to the Marxist ‘Black Separation Theology’ espoused on the church’s website … never knew anti-American racist Louis Farrakhan, who the church awarded a life time achievement award to … and, never knew unrepentant terrorist William Ayers, when Obama launched his campaign from Ayer’s living room, sat on a board together, and whose wives worked at the same law firm. Obama also worked with Acorn, who has been caught in massive voter fraud, in behalf of Obama. Obama obviously shares an anti-American racist, and criminal philosophy with some very unsavory people, continues to lie about it, and does not have the character, or integrity to be President of the United States of America !!!
