McCain closes book on Schultz-Obama issue

Kansas City, MO– After his campaign went to full battlemode this weekend regarding an Obama supporter who called Sen. McCain a “warmonger” prior to a speech by the Democratic candidate, Sen. McCain made clear Sunday he is ready to move on.

“I think it’s satisfactory, the statement by his campaign and I hope we can keep these things to a minimum,” McCain told reporters aboard his plane. Campaign aides had said earlier this weekend that Obama should personally denounce the remarks by radio talk show host Ed Schultz after an Obama spokeswoman put out a statement Saturday that condemned the remark but also took a shot at McCain on the war.

But asked if Obama is conducting a “respectful campaign,” McCain would only say that he is “disappointed” in the way Obama is arguing that the GOPer wants to fight a 100-year war in Iraq.

“It’s contradictory to his statements about the kind of campaign he would run,” McCain said.

70% of random times I tune to Fox News I get a commercial.

Every time after a few minutes content, I get a bait and switch to commercial news story.

I take the bait and switch ch mostly to the NASA ch.

I don’t have any time nor money to waste on electricity watching Fox News commercials. The same applies to the Communist News Network aka CNN.

The Federal Government needs to do away with the income tax deduction for commercials. Because, for every tax deduction someone else has to pay more.

McCain never got the apology!
Some Obama flunkie put out an oxymoron statement,”McCain is not a warmonger, he just supports the war!
B S!
Nobody wants war!
The fact is, we are at war already!
Deal with today and tomorrow!
It’s what we do now that makes the difference!
McCain’s plan for the situation makes more sense than an abrupt pull-out!
We went there. We changed their world! We have an obligation to secure that country, to avoid a total collapse!
If we do not finish the job, 4,ooo +, American soldiers will have died in vain!
Millions of Iraqi citizens will suffer the consequence of a half-assed pull-out!
Let the soldiers achieve the objective they started out to do!
Let the Iraqis have peace before we leave!

“Hanoi Jane” Fonda, the traitor, supporting Obama….Obama/Fonda ‘08 “The God D*** America Tour”

 
Comment by Jeff X

I can see it now, DEM convention in Denver, on stage DEM nomination winners Obama/Fonda holding hands together up high in victory, old NVA soldiers on stage for Fonda, Rev. Wright, Jesse Jackson, Louie F. for Obama, the picture of an NVA AA gun in the background, Murtha, Reid, Pelosi, Bill & Hillary on stage around them, burning a US flag, chanting GOD D*** America!

And Democrats across the nation, with tears in their eyes, wildly clapping their approval.

Ant,

It takes a racist to know a racist.

 
Comment by indy in iowa

My father used to tell me that it took a man/woman to apologize. McCain apologised for something he didn’t do but felt was wrong. Obama had his people write a statement. Seems to me that is all I need to know.

 
Comment by Kathmandu

The names that Obama have been called on this blog have been shameful, and you worry about an Obama supporter calling McCain a warmonger. ” Judge not lest you not be judged.”

“My father used to tell me that it took a man/woman to apologize.” There are not many men or women on this blog.

Comment by Enlightened

I was curiouse to see what neo-conservatives and religiouse right wingers were blabbing about. Not much as I can see by this blog. Same ole’ ignorant arguments. Justification for bull### war. Don’t forget that it’s these same people that got us in the war in the first place. And must we forget these are the people who voted for BUSH. THE BIGGEST MORON IN HISTORY! Like your opinion matters. Obama is a great man, with conviction and vision. A GREAT leader. Maybe if some of you stop watching crappy news channels like FOX. Start listening to some of his speeches, you red neck may learn what it is to be a real man!

 
Comment by indy in iowa

I don’t think that the names Obama have been called on this blog are any more hateful than I have seen from Obama supporters. I have been called “racist” (which made my bi racial son roll over laughing) I have been called “menopausal and blue haired old woman” (mid thirties and my hair is turning white, not grey or blue) My favorite was an “uneducated low class nascar watching white trash”. I have to admit that was from an Obama supporter on Real clear politics, the writer called herself philly girl. I do have a degree, I make a decent living (work in a doc’s office) have never seen a nascar race and I am American Indian and Mexican (so unless they changed something without telling me I don’t think I could be considered white). The whole problem with Obama supporters is they don’t want to admit that many people don’t like Obama simply because he is LIBERAL, his skin color has nothing to do with it. Now why don’t you go back to CNN/MSNBC where all the little kids play and leave this blog to the real adults who look at issues, character, integrity and honesty and not vote for the one who makes the best speech. And next time you listen to Obama at a debate count the the number of times he says “UMM” or “I agree with Hillary”

 
Comment by Jo Anne

John McCain has conducted himself as a gentleman so far!
I do believe he needs to be more aggressive in his approach with defining the differences between himself and his opponents.
I also believe he is holding out until the Democrat’s nominate a candidate!
His staff are checking and re-checking their facts on both Clinton and Obama.
McCain is no fool. He will fight when he gets a true opponent. Until then he is doing well by keeping his cool.
He will need to fight hard in the general. He is up against a global movement if Obama wins the nomination. That movement is voracious in their attacks!

 
Comment by Jean, GA

McCain does not want to stoop to Obama’s gutter level of politics even though he points out that he is disappointed in Obama’s decision to not live up to the honest campaign he said he would run.

 
Comment by Jo Anne

Dear Enlightened.
Saddam Hussein played a bad game of bluff!
Bush could not go to war on his word alone.
This was a result of the numerous times Hussein threw the UN nuclear inspectors out.
Many nations took him on along side us!
No matter what started this, the fact remains, we are there now.
Finger-pointing and all the rhetoric in the world won’t change that.
Even if you believe going there was wrong in the first place, how does that make a difference now?
We went there. We blew up parts of their counrty. We changed everything the Iraqi people were accustomed to.
So now we should act like John Belushi in “Animal House”, where he broke the guy’s guitar and just shrugged his shoulders and walked away? We should leave them with a broken country and just walk away?
We have to at least leave them safe and in their own hands, before we ditch them!

 
Comment by dante

and yet another lie from hillary
In Eugene, Ore., Saturday. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., attempted to change the measure by which anyone might assess who criticized the Iraq war first, her or Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., by saying those keeping records should start in January 2005, when Obama joined the Senate. (A measure that conveniently avoids her October 2002 vote to authorize use of force against Iraq at a time that Obama was speaking out against the war.) She claimed that using that measure, she criticized the war in Iraq before Obama did.

But Clinton’s claim was false.

Clinton on Saturday told Oregonians, “when Sen. Obama came to the Senate he and I have voted exactly the same except for one vote. And that happens to be the facts. We both voted against early deadlines. I actually starting criticizing the war in Iraq before he did.”

It’s an odd way to measure opposition to the war — comparing who gave the first criticism of the war in Iraq starting in January 2005, ignoring Obama’s opposition to the war throughout 2003 and 2004. (And Clinton’s vote for it

“I don’t think it’s useful to set a deadline because I think it sends a signal to the terrorists and the insurgents that they just have to wait us out,” she said
in February 2005.
these are her words people. how can you trust this woman she would say anything to win.

 
Comment by dante

In an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press on Feb. 20, 2005, Clinton said that withdrawing some troops or setting a date for withdrawal would be a “mistake.”

“I don’t believe we should tie our hands or the hands of the new Iraqi government,” Clinton said. “We don’t want to send a signal to the insurgents, to the terrorists that we are going to be out of here at some, you know, date certain.”

It is up to you now to decide what is best for our country.

 
Comment by Jessica, Rolling Meadows, IL

On another note the Clintons have done more for the African American people during their political career than Obama has. Obama is not for the people. America needs to wake up and take this election seriously and make an educated vote.

Obama says words matter…. America says experience counts.

Do not put Obama in office. Think of your children’s future. Protect our children and keep them safe. Protect the right to life. Children are not a mistake and should not be spoken of as a mistake.

Obama feels that if one his daughter were to get pregnant, that his daughter should not be punished by a pregnancy. The gift of life is precious from the first moment it is created and all of GODS creation should be given the right to live.

We need someone in the Oval Office that cares about all people at all phases of life.

Protect the American people by not voting for Obama

 
Comment by A Clinton Supporter

For Clinton to receive the nomination she must get 60% of the votes in all remaining states and 60% of the remaining superdelegates. Her campaign is in desperate need of support. Please sent your money today. Everyone can make a donation of $2300.00. Please go to Hillary’s web site and make your donation now!!!!!! Show your support through you donation.

Salat prayers at 5am according to her own interviews. Not to mention,

Christianity wouldn’t allow her to have been one of 14 wives to 1 man.

6.) My Name is African Swahili - LIAR, your name is Arabic and ‘Baraka’ (from

which Barack came) means ‘blessed’ in that language. Hussein is also Arabic

and so is Obama.

you were registered as a Muslim and kept that faith for 31 years,until your

wife made you change, so you could run for office.

of struggle to identify - your classmates said you were just fine.

the article you mention in your book. It doesn’t, and never did, exist.

14.) A Life Magazine Article Changed My Outlook On Life - LIAR, Life has yet

Nuclear Donor, Exelon, from which David Axelrod came.

you sponsored or voted for have yet to be released, exposing all the special

interests pork hidden within.

were just combined into a proposal which lost 99-0, and even YOU voted

against your own bill.

26.) I Have Been A Bold Leader In Illinois - LIAR, even your own supporters

claim to have not seen BOLD action on your part.

27.) I Passed 26 Of My Own Bills In One Year - LIAR, they were not YOUR

bills, but rather handed to you, after their creation by a fellow Senator, to

assist you in a future bid for higher office.

28.) No One Contacted Canada About NAFTA - LIAR, the Candian Government

43.) I Inspire People With My Words - LIAR, you inspire people with other

44.) I Have Passed Bills In The U.S. Senate - LIAR, you have passed A BILL in

the U.S. Senate - for Africa, which shows YOUR priorities.

45.) I Have Always Been Against Iraq - LIAR, you weren’t in office to vote

against it AND you have voted to fund it every single time, unlike Kucinich,

who seems to be out gutting you Obama. You also seem to be stepping back from

your departure date - AGAIN.

46.) I Have Always Supported Universal Health Care - LIAR, your plan leaves

us all to pay the 15,000,000 who don’t have to buy it.

47.) I Only Found Out About My Investment Conflicts Via Mail - LIAR, both

companies you site as having sent you letters about this conflict have no

record of any such letter ever being created or sent.

don’t put your hand over your heart during the Anthem.

49.) My Wife Didn’t Mean What She Said About Pride In Country - LIAR, your

wife’s words follow lock-step in the vein of Wright and Farrahkan, in

relation to their contempt and hatred of America.

50.) Wal-Mart Is A Company I Wouldn’t Support - LIAR, your wife has received

nearly a quater of a million dollars through Treehouse, which is connected to

Wal-Mart.

51.) Treehouse Is A Small Company - LIAR, the CEO of Treehouse last year,

made more than the CEO of Wal-Mart, according to public records.

52.) University Of Chicago Hospital Pay Is Fair - LIAR, your wife’s pay raise

was nearly 150% her already bloated rate and the hospital is a Non-Profit

Hospital, which made $100,000,000 in the last 3 years. They overcharge blacks

VS whites for services, and overcharge everyone in general by 538%!

53.)I Barely Know Rezko - Only 5 Billed Hours - LIAR, you have known him for

17 years, and decided to do a real estate deal with him during a time when he

was proven to be under investigation. Despite this, you divided your property

and had them take off $300K before the mortgage problems started. Then

Rezko’s wife buys the lot beside it that you can’t afford, saving you

$625,000.

54.) My Donations Have Been Checked Thoroughly - LIAR, you only gave back Hsu

($72K) and Rezko (first $66K, then when caught lying $86K, then when caught

lying again $150K and now caught lying YET AGAIN OBAMA, it’s $250k) their

money when publically called on their involvement in your campaigns.

55.) My Church Is Like Any Other Christian Church - LIAR, your church is so

extreme, the pastor who married you, Rev. Wright, just got done blaming the

US for 9/11 and named Louis Farrahkan their person of the year.

56.) I Disagree With My Church All The Time - LIAR, you still have yet to

repudiate Wright, who married you and your wife, and you still donate large

sums of money to assist the church in furthering its message - hatred and

revenge. You donated in 2006 alone, $22,500 to the church that you so

terribly disagree with. That is nearly $500 PER WEEK - that sure is

disagreement, Senator Obama.

57.) I Have Clean Connections Despite Rezko - LIAR, you are not only

connected to Exelon and Rezko, you are also connected to Hillary PAC

supporter Mr. Hsu, AND an Iraqi Billionaire of ill repute, Nadhmi Auchi, who

ripped off people in the Food For Oil, Iraqi deal. Seems Mr. Auchi may have

helped Obama buy his million dollar property long before Obama had millions

of dollars. Wonder what favors Mr. Auchi expects, when Obama leaves Iraq free

to be taken over by special interests such as him.

58.) I never heard sermons like Rev. Wright’s, that have been in videos all

day, You Tube - LIAR! 3 days later during your Mea Culpa BS speech you said

“Did I hear controversial statements while I sat in that church? Yes I did.”

59.) The Passport Invasion is a conspiracy to find dirt on me! - LIAR. Your

own Campaign Foreign Policy Advisor is the CEO of the company that looked

into your records. PS - You had them look into yours to hide the fact you

looked into Clinton’s and McCain’s more than a year before!

60.) Rev. Meeks has nothing to do with my campaigning - LIAR. Rev. Meeks

appeared in ads for your Senate Campaign, donated to you, and helped raise

money, then AND NOW. PS - He also seems to despise America.

61.) My wife didn’t mean America is ignorant, she was just using a phrase -

LIAR. Again, MicHELLe’s comments perfectly sync with Wright’s, Meeks’, and

Farrakhans, both in language, anger, and direction.

62.) I am very Anti-Terror - LIAR. [03/30/2008] One of your good pals is long

time radical and terrorist William Ayers, with whom you have been seen in the

last 12 months and who has helped the now jailed khalidi, Professor at

Columbia who invited Ahmadinejad to the University, to raise money for

Palestinian terrorism attacks against Israel. PS - Your church published a

pro Hamas Manifesto - guess you weren’t there on THAT Sunday either? How

lucky for you.

63.) I have the best plan to cure the Mortgage Crisis - LIAR. [03/30/2008]

You and your campaign buddy Penny SubPrime Bank Collapse Prizker have had

your little fingers full of subprime cash - Obama has taken $1,180,103 from

the top issuers of subprime loans: Obama received $266,907 from Lehman, $5395

from GMAC, $150,850 from Credit Suisse First Boston, $11,250 from

Countrywide, $9052 from Washington Mutual, $161,850 from Citigroup, $4600

from CBASS, $170,050 from Morgan Stanley, $1150 from Centex, and last but

certainly NOT LEAST - Obama received $351,900 from Goldman Sachs. I am sure

that cash all came from folks who knew the subprime loan they had was a

dream, eh?

64) I played greater role in crafting liberal stands on gun control, the

death penalty and abortion - LIAR - [03/31/2008] It was found that Obama —

the day after sitting for the interview — filed an amended version of the

questionnaire, which appears to contain Obama’s own handwritten notes added

to one answer. Read Obama had greater role on liberal survey

65) I did NOT play the race card: - LIAR - [03/31/2008] Obama was the first

to play the race card. According to Phialdelphia Inquirer, Quietly, the storm

over the hateful views expressed by Sen. Barack Obama’s pastor, the Rev.

Jeremiah Wright, has blown away the most insidious myth of the Democratic

primary campaign. Obama and his surrogates have charged that Sen. Hillary

Rodham Clinton has deliberately and cleverly played the race card in order to

label Obama the “black” candidate. Read more here

66) I did not take money from oil companies: - LIAR - [03/31/2008]
THE FACTS: True enough, Obama does not take money from oil companies. No

candidate does. It is illegal for corporations to give money to politicians.

Corporations, however, do have political action committees that collect

voluntary donations from employees and then donate them to candidates. Obama

doesn’t take money from PACs. He also doesn’t take money from lobbyists.

But he does accept money from executives and other employees of oil companies

and two of his fundraisers are oil company executives. As of Feb. 29, Obama’s

presidential campaign had received nearly $214,000 from oil and gas industry

employees and their families, according to an analysis by the nonpartisan

Center for Responsive Politics. Clinton had received nearly $307,000 from

industry workers and their families and Republican Sen. John McCain, the

likely GOP presidential nominee, received nearly $394,000, according to the

center’s totals.

Two of Obama’s fundraisers are Robert Cavnar, the chairman and chief

executive of Houston-based Mission Resources Corp., and George Kaiser, the

president and CEO of Tulsa-based Kaiser-Francis Oil Co.

liberals cannot accept that. They see the second coming of Christ and as such they use anything they can to further their goal. I can’t tell you how many times Obama supporters have called me racist for not supporting him. When I explain that I disagree with him on just about every topic, they tell me that I am just using that as an excuse not to vote for a black man. It’s kind of sad actually. I never take issue with someone who supports Obama that knows his positions and agrees with them. I may question why someone thinks that way but if they honestly agree with him then they should vote for him. It’s too bad they cannot give the same respect to those who don’t.

“Who would you rather have in charge of the defense of the United States of America,” Dean asked the young crowd, “a group of people who never served a day overseas in their life or a guy who served his country honorably and has three Purple Hearts and a Silver Star from the battlefields of Vietnam?”

Of course Howard Dean was saying this about John Kerry when endorsing him in the 2004 election. However since McCain has many more decorations than Kerry I think it proves his point even more.

Here you go Jo Anne of course my favorite quote of the day is from Obama himself on gun control

he now says that “the ban on handguns would not be “politically practicable” at the moment”.

http://noamaskew.blogspot.com/2008/02/david-bernstein-finds-some-obama-quotes.html

Not political practical cuz he needs the votes of people who own guns? read the article he has found away to ban guns by going around the second amendment.

Pfft. I have listened to a ton of his speeches. They are very inspiring, moving…the man is a great speaker. I disagree with him, however and despite his charm and eloquence I cannot vote for a man whose actions do not match his words to such an alarming degree. The guy says one thing on the trail but you look at his voting record and it’s shows the exact opposite time and time again. Hillary is nearly as bad. To be fair McCain has some contradictions between his rhetoric and his voting as well but no where near as bad as Hillary or Obama.

Obama is a racist, a liar, and an opportunist.

Obama MAKES ME SICK

You are so right. I thought Fox didn’t want us spamming on this blog, but I think this Obama supporter (probably not even from the United States) is getting more than his share of spam time. I try to post one comment and they usually tell me slow down.

PRESIDENT JOHN SYDNEY MCCAIN - 2008.

True the mass graves were very important in the overall view of why we went to war but the dems do not care. Have you seen one response about this ethnic cleansing….the dems do not care for someone else’s family life….how can they explain their resistence now to the war and the tens of thousands of lives lost due to Saddam…..entire families!!! They look at this and say OK…..let them kill them off…why do I have to care. Bill Clinton got into party trouble when he went in on Kosovo….so what do the dems stand for…ethnic cleansing??? So we should have let the killings go on???

Now why would any sane person want to give money to any one who wants to take more money from you if they got elected.
We can’t afford lefty liberals.
McCains a big boy. I’m sure he can hold up to name callers.
People aren’t afraid of being called racists any more. Personally I never was. It’s just a word the uneducated toss out when they can’t present an intelligent argument or statement.

The liberals stand for anything that the Republicans oppose. If the GOP favored new developments in fondue pots the Democrats would start screaming about the plight of the fondue pot worker and the inequity between fondue pots and saute pans…which of course would be the Republicans’ fault.

I know it makes no sense to me. The last guy that ran on the platform of “vote for me and I will raise your taxes” was Walter Mondale. That worked well. LOL. One thing I know to be true is that when people step into the voting booth they ask how their vote will affect THEM and people don’t vote for candidates who promise to take their hard earned cash.

i think all of you OBAMA SUPPORTERS would be better advised to find a way to check the methods you use for making those determinations. I see these methods:

My hero says it. It must be so.

People I like say it, it must be so.

It makes my hero look bad. It can’t be so.

It shows what I have always thought. It must be so.

It makes the enemy of my hero look good. It can’t be so.

It makes the enemy of my hero look bad. There must be some truth there.

They are sure I am wrong. They must be wrong.

Look at all the people I respect who agree with me.

I don’t respect people who think my hero has feet of clay.

I don’t respect people who admire my hero’s enemy.
That is being applied here to Barack’s supporters in a continuous stream of passionately sure posts with no real facts to support it

It began with a series of conversations with a group of Weekly Standard subscribers. Then, last week, I had lunch with the only three conservatives in Cambridge, Mass.; participated in an event in New York with the leadership of Vets for Freedom; mixed and mingled with Republicans before a speech in Michigan; and, on Friday, attended a reception for friends of Bill Buckley after his memorial service at St. Patrick’s, then discussed politics that evening with conservative college students at Georgetown University.

Apart from accumulating a few frequent flier miles, what do I have to show for my travels? I can report that lots of conservatives and Republicans expect Barack Obama to be our next president….

But a surprising number of Democrats with whom I’ve spoken expect a McCain victory. One told me he was struck by the current polls showing a dead-even race, suggesting both a surprising openness to McCain among Americans who disapprove of Bush and a striking hesitation among the same voters about Obama.

Then there’s the fact that we’re at war. As a Congressional staffer put it, “Here’s something to consider: Although Hillary will be out in May, she may determine the outcome in November. McCain’s secret weapon — among Clinton supporters — may be Hillary’s 3 a.m. national security ad.”

And an experienced Democratic operative e-mailed: “Finally, I think [McCain’s] going to win. Obama isn’t growing in stature. Once I thought he could be Jimmy Carter, but now he reminds me more of Michael Dukakis with the flag lapel thing and defending Wright. Plus he doesn’t have a clue how to talk to the middle class. He’s in the Stevenson reform mold out of Illinois, with a dash of Harvard disease thrown in.”

SO WATCH OUT WHAT YOU WISH FOR

STOP HATING HILLARY AND HELP HER WIN

In overly simplistic terms society might be better served allowing the liberals to say where we want to go and allowing the Republicans to determine how to get there. Certainly there are fundamental differences that such a situation would not work with, but in my opinion I believe the Democrats have some great ideas but their methodology sucks, while the Republicans have great methodology but need to remember that we could be doing far more in regards to improving society.

Just my two cents.

Comment by TRS

The American voter “in the end” will not accept a far-left, closet racist as our next President! Obama is totally unfit when considering: (1) His complete lack of “credible experience” to become leader of the free world; (2) His long-time and close associations with racists and shady characters; (3) Married to a woman with her tainted, hate filled view of America that would become our next First Lady…truly unthinkable! Obama’s “Change for America” is just an empty slogan advanced by a travelling politician selling tonics of colored water. WAKE UP VOTERS!

McCain never got the apology!
Some Obama flunkie put out an oxymoron statement,”McCain is not a warmonger, he just supports the war!
B S!
Nobody wants war!
The fact is, we are at war already!
Deal with today and tomorrow!
It’s what we do now that makes the difference!
McCain’s plan for the situation makes more sense than an abrupt pull-out!
We went there. We changed their world! We have an obligation to secure that country, to avoid a total collapse!
If we do not finish the job, 4,ooo +, American soldiers will have died in vain!
Millions of Iraqi citizens will suffer the consequence of a half-assed pull-out!
Let the soldiers achieve the objective they started out to do!
Let the Iraqis have peace before we leave!

 
Comment by smoking caterpillar

I guess you people who are talking up the Iraq war, must have missed reading the articles on how we are accepting 12-14,000 displaced Iraqi’s this year alone. This number will rise 10x in the years to come (this wars gonna go on for along time). The Countries who were generous accepting the refugees (Sweden, Denmark, England) have stopped accepting them or in the process of doing so. So guess who’s going to take up the slack. Bush has commited us to doing just that.

So there goes that arguement of fighting them ther so we don’t have to fight them here. The terrorists don’t even have to sneak in anymore. They will be flown in here, housed, educated, given food stamps and other social services all on you”re tax dollar

I wonder how many disenchanted muslims there will be in the first 14,000. Right now there’s still alot more people that want out of that country then are going back.

When you see a new mosque go up in you’re neighborhood you’ll probably realize then that maybe that war wasn’t such a good idea
