This is why I will vote McCain, honesty, and integrity

I DID NOT SEE THE AD ABOUT REV.WRIGHT, HOWEVER WHEN DO WE REALLY FIND OUT WHAT KIND OF HATRED SERMONS SENATOR OBAMA AND HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN HAVE BEEN LISTING TO. YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO HATE AND WHO BETTER THAN REV.WRIGHT TO BE YOUR TEACHER. MARINE OR NO MARINE DOES THAT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO SPEAK ABOUT AMERICA AND THE JEWS AND ISRAEL AND WHATEVER ELSE WAS SAID. IT’S TIME WE HEARD THE VIEWS OF REV.WRIGHT AND EXACTLY WHERE OBAMA AGREES AND DISAGREES.

thank you
god bless this beautiful country .keep your ad going .we need someone who can fight
for our country .obama is not for our country .he even wants to change the national anthem.
he is far left.

rev. you are in the spotlight

John, you expect Obama to run a “respectful campaign”?
Already the Soros 527 is running.

I still refuse to vote for McCain. It is Ron Paul or nobody!!!

Clearly, John McCain wants to make the race about the REAL Issues.

John McCain has a lot more class that a lot of his supporters who want to attack Obama’s character.

Bless you John McCain.

boy these posting pages are messed up tonight. Get with it Fox.

Why is every candidate afraid to speak up to Obama about his controversial issues. Even though McCain did not run the ad, it is fair game. I’m sick of Obama complaining and trying to pull the race card and blame everyone for being negative. obama can go to hell.

McCain has made his point, but the ad is telling the truth.

What’s up with the blog Is FOX turning into CNN and moderating the heck out of everything?

Rev. Wright is off the table because John McCain know that the democratic nominee will be Hillary R. Clinton.

OBAMA DEFINITELY SHARES THE SAME VIEWS AS THE REV. WRIGHT OR HE WOULD NOT HAVE SET IN THE CHURCH PEWS FOR OVER 20 YEARS LISTENING TO WRIGHT SPEW OUT HIS VENOM!!!!!!

As low as Hillary Clinton goes, the North Carolina Republicans apparently can go lower. John McCain is a very unusual Republican candidate - he is a decent and honorable man. Why would you go against his wishes and accomplish no more than making Hillary seem less dirty?
Barack Obama will be the next president of the country and all that you local Republicans, along with the loathesome Hillary and Bill, can do is make yourselves despised.

It’s easy for McCain to say now he will not run a negative campaign, but just wait until they really start campaigning for the general in November, he will be as negative as the other party, no doubt about it. I agree he may not want to get too personal because he doesn’t want his past baggage to be brought to light. He’s a politician just like all the rest and he will do whatever it takes to get elected. It is frustrating that the candidates and the media think the American people are so stupid they can’t see right through them all.

testing again

The AZ Senator added today that he believes “it is clear” that Obama does not share the world view of Rev. Wright and stated his intention to run an issue-centric campaign.

Im glad its clear to him. Im not so optimistic.

Congratulations to John McCain. He is a genuine American Hero and he knows too well that the politics that consists of smearing opponents will not serve American people. These distractions are a disgrace to a developed country. Americans deserve elections based on real issues.
If John McCain loses, at least, he will retain the respect of American people

you may use

Fox, Fix the blog. Please.

Hello it’s all true facts, nothing wrong with this ad video.

go NC GOP, you rock

quote:
“The AZ Senator added today that he believes “it is clear” that Obama does not share the world view of Rev. Wright”

…uuuhhhh…no it isn’t johnny boy!

Obama and Wright are from the same cloth…that cloth being black liberation theology…what a bunch of crap!

ExT

You guys in Fox News scrutinise Obama too much..other candidates also make mistakes but you briefly talk about it and that is it..but incase of Obama you talk about it too much..why? because he is an African-American?

PULL the ad!! McCain is right. Let the Democrats eat their own, we, Republicans, must be above this.

Thanks, love you show,

I think it’s essential that this Wright loon remain in the spotlight. After all, we’re electing the president of the United States and we have a right to know who this guy Obama chooses to believe in. As far as I’m concerned if he sits in church for 20 years and listens, he believes as his pastor believes. On the other hand, I think John McCain is taking a wise strategy to come against it. McCain knows his pushback won’t keep the ad off the air, but he has to remain above the radar on racism. Brilliant move.

The ad is appropriate.It shows the truth about Reverend Wright’s attitudes and his close connection with a presidential candidate.What’s wrong about that????
We need more truth and less politically correct bull….t from our leaders.

Of course North Caroline republicans should run the Reverend Wright ad. It is entirely relevant and not at all “off limits”. If this is a real issue then bring it out in the open. Let’s discuss it. If Senator Obama is offended that we keep brining it up, then he’s not really proud to talk about it. Why not?

Run the North Carolina ads.
The truth needs to be told.

Senator McCain may want to distance himself from the Obama/Wright ad, but honestly it is not disrespectful. It is truthful, showing real facts. I don’t think it harms his standing at all as a politician or American by recognizing Obama’s association with this church and this pastor and anyone like him disquailifies him from any chance of being President. Just this association alone. Let’s not forget about some of Obama’s other anti-American associations such as Ayers. Americans want to know the facts and the fact is Obama was involved with this “church” and pastor for at least 20 years. Obama still will not disown him. The fact is Wright said and propbably still does say some really racial offensive, anti-American statements with all the passion he can muster. We all have the right to this information especially when it concerns someone who is running for the President Of The United States Of America. We should not be afraid of the truth. But isn’t that what Obama’s campaign is suppose to be all about…being truthful. Or maybe that’s not the change he’s talking about. Wake up America..this guy is no good and Senator McCain should be totally comfortable with the facts coming out.

John McCain should stay out of the race for Gov. in NC. Why is he afraid of the truth?
If he can’t deal with an issue like this,how is he going to deal with all the major problems of the world?

Why would Obama listen to Wright for 20 yrs I vote to run the NC Rep ad.

I agree with the NC Republican party’s use of the Rev. Wright story in their repudiation of the Democrats’ backing of Obama. I completely agree with the Rep. party leadership that Obama’s continued support of Rev. Wright and others who are so completely against the United States and are so vile in their activities (ie domestic terrorism in the 70s) that it is obvious to many of us that Obama is a truly dishonest person. The Republican party in this case gets my full support even though I am a registered Democrat. I am amazed that so many people have taken this subject so lightly and I am sad that candidates from my party have turned off their good sense to so easily to bend to the National Democratic Party pressure to endorse this man.

In short, I am very tired of the focus being on Reverend Wright. He is not running for President. Nor is the Pope. What if people from a non-Catholic religous backgrounds, decided to whole the Pope accountable for all the Gay Priest who rape and tormented little boys. Would this fair? Think about it! Have Catholic denounced the Catholic church. Keep church and state separate.

I don’t listen to negative ads. All I want to know as a voter is what the candidates are going to do for us and our country. I couldn’t care less about the dirt they all dig up on each other. All it does is discourage me from voting for any of them. I’m a registered democrat, but it seems like all they have to do these days is discredit each other. I’ll vote for the person who’s best able to run this country, not the party.

Americans should consider the fact that Obama may share Rev. Wrights views…why else would he stay in this church for 20 years! This is not a racial issue…this is a question in the minds of voters that make us wonder how could Obama lead America if he hates America.

re: Obama ad in NC to do with Rev Wright…running the ad is fair game…any downside for McCain can be handled later…lets get some mileage while we can..

The NC Republican Party should air the ad. It is NOT racially motivated. It is merely repeating the”Rev’s” own words, underscoring that he is a close advisor/mentor to the man who would be president and it points out the Dems who support Obama. Televise it! McCain or not!

I believe the NRP is making a grave mistake. If a person is not directly associated with the
Rev., why should they be painted with Sen. Obama’s brush.
. This is extremely juvenile. It is also not racial. Again let us not paint
everytthing with the racial crap.

I am a African american independent who is voting for obama. I say let the the world see how racially divided we really are. But let’s go a step further and play the whole sermon of pastor wright, then bring on your pastors and ask them in the context of the bible is he right or wrong. Remember the world is watching. How can we as Americans talk about china when we have issues right here in america when it comes to our own people. this story is a good example if Mc Cain really wanted the truth, have them look at the whole sermon then talk to your own spiritual advisor.

Play the whole tape!Play the whole tape!

McCain knows better than anyone that the Wright issue is not off limits. But I understand that he has to take the “high road” and denouncing it in public. I am certain that the conversation is totally different behind closed doors.

Obama has no real experience so he made his campaign about judgment. The Wright issue is a very legitimate and it says alot about his judgment and so does his decision to seek the assistance of an unapologetic american terrorist to jump start his first campaign!

Anything that relates to Obama’s judgment is totally fair game!

I think people are intitled to know as much about a presidential candiate.the fact that he can’t respond to questions without a written paper says alot about his personal upbringing.I want to know who I am expected to vote for that refuses to debate because he does’t really want to slip up and say what he really thinks.Bev Purdue,in n.c.wants to be GOV.,then she has put herself up for expected questioning.

i think every one should run and talk about the wright pulpit teachings,,,he hates every one but the blacks,every one needs to know obama has sat in that church for twenty +years and listen to this hate garbage,,,if wright hates america then leave,go back to his mother land,even though he was born here,was not a slave,he preaches white hate ,,although his church has bought and paid for him and added $10 million dollars for him to live in a white neighborhood,on a golf course,so where is the hate?he does not practice what he preaches,,obama thinks he is better than any one,he says he can talk any one into any thing,sounds like a con artist to me,,,we have been con and lied enough by bush,,we don’t need another like him in our white house,,,,wake up my fellow americans,,if you put him in our white house then you will deserve ever bad thing he has planned for ,if he gets in…race is not an issue,,,he plays the race card,,to incite us into something we delt with years ago…

I agree with Senator McCain the add about Mr. Wright should not be ran. All that will do is make more trouble. I say no don’t run this ad.

Yes they should continue to run the ad.

Thank you,

Mc Cain, will lose African Americans, Latinos, some Caucasians and the young voters in America with this ridiculous Reverend Wright ad. Enough is enough!

Looks like Senator McCain is trying to strategerize himself right out of contention.

The ad showing rev Wrights anti-American comments, are just that. The ad is not racist.

If someone is accused of associating with a communist, is that racist? NO

Televise….anyone who sits for 20 years and listens to a man who hates America , defends his pastors words and considers him a friend must believe this in his heart. He should not be worried for the rest of the world to hear his sermon.

Although I deeply respect John McCain, the Rev. Wright is important in considering Obama’s character.
rev Wright is merely one of many unsavory characters Obama surrounds himself with.
I disagree with McCain on this issue.
I believe Mccain and Clinton should should hammer his as well as the rest of Obama’s list of anti-American friends and associates.
These are just some of the names Obama has had to explain his relationship with. He has never disowned any of them, just parts of what they are.
Rev. Wright, Rezko, Farrakhan, Meeks, Ayers, Dohrn, Weather Underground, Nation of Islam, New Black Panthers, along with endorsements from Moore, MoveOn.org, Jane Fonda.
Seeing a pattern?
There are many associations of Obama who have yet to be brought up in mainstream media, however they are certainly mentioned in numerous blogs and Google searches.
Odinga, Khalidi, Sorros, Auchi and some insinuations from a guy named Larry Sinclair.
So Sen. McCain, I believe Americans are entitled to really know who we are voting for and I disapprove of news blackouts. That is selective journalism. Who needs that?
We need info, not censorship.

Censorship is no good for any news venue.
It is then known as selective journalism.
Wright is an issue to Americans. Whether or not McCain approves, we have a right to know someone who would aspire to be President.
Obama’s friends are an indication of who he is.
Mccain, please don’t encourage censorship. That would put a strain on the First Amendment.

I realize McCain is trying to take the high road, but come on, the Rev. Wright episodes should NOT be off limits!!!!!

There are serious questions about Obama, and we have not heard the last. He is politics as usual (despite his rhetoric) and was involved in dirty politics for years in Chicago. Then throw in Rev. Wright, Ayers, Rezko, his “bitter” comment, his wife’s comments, etc and you start to get a very LARGE glimpse of where this man’s beliefs lie.

We should be VERY EXTREMELY concerned about this man. He has serious issues that need to be looked at very closely. The press and the people need to hold him to the same microscopic look that you hold Hillary to.

Look at his associations as a whole —- they are speaking VOLUMES

I believe that the Rev. Wright issue is significant enough that the American people need to know about Obama’s close association with this man is a very serious matter. So, YES, I believe the RNC in North Carolina should be able to use the video in the election. It wouldn’t matter what color Rev. Wright is, it is his message that is anti-American,

Yes, I believe that Rev. Wright’s message should be allowed to be heard in North Carolina. It doesn’t matter what color he is, his message is anti-American and the close association with Obama is a serious matter.

Mr. McCain has more class in his dirty underwear than either of the two clowns he’s running aqainst. The Dems need to get off that tired mantra of McSame. Bush made the right decisions, he just relied on the wrong people to execute. McCain will actually hire competent people, whether they be dem or GOP. He’s proven he can work in a bipartisan atmosphere. All Obama has proven is that he is too controversial to unite anything, and Billary just carries around too much baggage.

Do the right thing America: Vote McCain!!!!

Why don’t you gutless commenter come to a blog that you have to sign up for. It’s free but you can’t hold a conversation with yourself as so many of you do. You must use you email the real one to sign on. NEWSWEEK has a great blog. You can still spout non sense. the only difference if that you’re stuck with one alais and if you are all over the place with your comments, anti one moment pro the next on a subject, it will be recognized by fellow commenters. It a lot more intellegent so it may not be for all of you, especially you mouth-breathing Republicans. If you have real opinions it’s a lot more fun than this drivel spouted by DB and others like him/her

Looks like McCain wants to ignore the truth.
Obama/Wright might be “off limits” to McCain but to ignore the relationship between Obama and Wright is just plain stupid!
McCain wants to “be the candidate of everybody” which can not be done without lying and denying the truths.
He is no different than the Dems. I guess. What a bunch of losers!

This ad is not a good thing for McCain because it will not buy him any black votes. Even Hannity does not seem to understand that, I am afraid.

This will be the first occasion that I disagree with McCain. This goes to Obamas judgement and so far his judgement calls have been pretty bad. He is even running his campaign on his good judgement. Only the true Obama supporters are taking that bag of crap. Let’s just hope that Hannity will continue to investigate Obama. There is a lot more out there for us to learn.

While I applaud McCain for staying above this, the American public needs to know the facts on the REAL Obama and not simply take him on face value.

Clearly Obama is a gifted orator but his judgement in whom he associates with especially given the actual meaning behind the Black Value System, really shows the other side of Obama, a side that really scares me.

After listening to Rev. Wright’s rants and reading the text of The Black Value System which his church theology is built upon, it became crystal clear for me why Obama didn’t show proper respect to the American Flag (at least until it became obvious that people might back away from him when they became suspicious about the significance of these seemingly insignificant missteps - missteps that after further scrutiny of what Barack believes, what his church believes, and for that matter, what his pastor believes; clears up any doubt in my mind that his choice to not wear a lapel pin of the American flag or his not showing proper respect to the flag during the pledge, are indeed, outward manifestations of a person that has disdain for what this flag stood for and stands for, what the Black Value Systems says regarding to whom blacks should “pledge allegiance to” and the essence of a form of reverse racism caught up in the fervor of the sixties style of black supremacy.

There is a very deep-rooted form of racism in the black culture that spawned the Nation of Islam, Malcolm X, Louis Farrakhan, and the Black Panther Party and it’s follow-on, the New Black Panther Party. No, it’s no surprise why Obama’s church gave a lifetime achievement award to Louis Farrakhan which you consider the common threads of racism that drives these organizations and their attendance. Most frightening, is that over 90% of black voters endorse Obama, which I find to be even more disturbing not because of the fervor but because that tells me are blindly supporting a black man on the basis of color and rhetoric or they hold to the same beliefs.

GOP does not listen to its candidate and McCain has no power / control. How will he lead the congress GOP & DNC and Americans effectively and successfully?

I give him credit for against the negative and unfair ads, but I will give him double credit, if GOP does not run the ad. Obama is running the campaign agains Clintons’ dirty campaign, McCain & GOP. GOP is supporting Clintons because they think McCain will beat Clintons in November. They are afraid of Obama.

I am an independent and will vote for the lesser evil in November or none.

Yes McCain you main gain some independents and dems with your approach but you are slowly loosing this Conservative.
Playing nice is not going to work against the other two……have you been paying attention?

What a bunch of rednecks…it’s embarrassing.

While I respect Senator McCain, I must respectfully disagree with him, Reverend Wright is only one piece of a troubling pattern of figures that Obama has in his life.

Why is Rev Wright off limits? His rants turned my stomach. I personally think it speaks volumes for Obama’s intrinsic beliefs and core judgment. This guy is running for President of the USA not the PTA. I am getting sick of his declaration of everything that shows him in a negative light as “silly season.” Here’s what’s really silly … our pandering has allowed the most inexperienced candidate in US history to stand on the verge of the Presidency! Enough with the baby talk!

In my daily decision making process of choosing a candidate to vote for, I look at the issues as they are presented, the candidates’ position on those issues, and I decide who has a superior position regarding that particular issue.

I also look at the character of each candidate. Politicians tend to adjust their character traits to placate the perceptions of their political base on a daily basis.

This aforementioned statement from Senator McCain speaks volumes about his character. He is choosing to run a campaign that doesn’t employ tactics that demonizes opponents.
If you look back at some past political campaigns, you’ll realize that many political careers have been built using this tactic.

All three candidates are decent people, good citizens, and patriotic Americans. Otherwise, why did we-the American people, vote them in their respective Senatorial offices.

Political strategists know that in order to win a campaign, you have to demonize opponents to an extent in which the American people will literally hate him or her with such disdain that eventually, it doesn’t matter whether they have a more substantive position on an issue because our feelings of sheer disdain take over our though process and we find ourselves trying to rationalize our new-found viewpoint by excluding or dismissing opposing viewpoints and ignoring substantive opinions. This is exactly the intent of this ad which calls Obama an extremist.

Now don’t just assume that I’m an Obama supporter and dismiss the point that I am trying to make.
My point is this; we should examine, debate and deliberate the substantive issues and ignore the non-sensical issues that the ratings-driven media are promoting.

GIVE ME A BREAK …. WHAT ABOUT MCCAIN PASTOR FRIEND, JOHN HAGEE?

He’ll never get elected being a wimp. The Rev. Wright issue is a legitimate issue and gives a glimpse into Obama’s background and character. Is it wrong to question the character of one who wants to be president of the USA? Is terrorist Bill Ayers off limits too? Butch up Sally!

Everyone PLEASE donate $5.00 to exposebarack.com

I wonder if the Clinton team will profit from this — they don’t have to run a negative ad, the Republicans are taking care of it for her…

We elect a person, a human being that has the knowledge, the experience, past and present and future vision to run to office.
Obama has a dark infested past with 20 years in a racist Farakhan style church, with ties to Weatherman terrorist group, with ties to corruption via Rezko mob, etc…

I have to know who is who and it is extremely democratic to ask who is and what did you do in your life to desire my vote to become PRESIDENT of USA.

Are you kidding me?

Mr. Obama spent some of his money to support the church which paid Jermiah Wright to preach racial hatred and unpatriotic vitriol. When Mr. Obama might soon be spending MY money, it’s an issue. It’s not the economy, it’s how-you-gonna-spend-my-money.

Isn’t it odd that Fox News does not give equal billing to (so-called) pastor John Hagee, a person who’s endorsement John McCain welcomed. Just recently, Hagee declared that “Hurricane Katrina was, in fact, the judgment of God against the city of New Orleans.” This virulently anti-Catholic wing-nut seems to get a free ride from the press. Now you certainly won’t hear O’Reilly or any of the “fair and balanced” commentators at Fox go after him (or McCain), much less stoke the fires through constant replay. I truly understand that today it’s okay in Fox Reality Land to be a right-wing nut. My question to you, Mr. McCain is, “What are you going to do with those who are not?” and “When will you exert any sense of self-respect?” Maybe Rush Limbaugh is correct — you are too soft to take control of the country, much less have any influence on politics these next four years. Let’s just give the Great Leader four more years to make a mockery of the country and civil discourse.

Sorry Mac. It isn’t up to you to decide what is or is not kosher for political scrutinyor what is or is not important to voters like me. When I look at a candidate I look at the whole package. I know and am known by the company I keep. It does define my personality and inform my decisions. My church friends, my political associates and my work associations all define in large part who I am because they each define cogent choices I have made about my life and what I stand for.

Because of who I am I would not countenance associations with Reverand Wright’s racist and commuistic views, would not be seen anywhere near Ayers, Khalidi, Rezko and Auchi, Odinga, Farakhan, “Frank” the Card Carrying Communist mentor of Obama’s book, Black Panthers or the Palestinian Liberation Front.

I am defined by the fact that salute the American Flag and believe America is largely great because she is good–not evil as both Obama’s seem to believe. I am defined by attending a church that welcomes all races as God’s children that doesn’t suppor a black, white or yellow agenda above othes. I AM judged by the compan I proudly keep. It is fair to judge Obama in par by his constant choices of shady and terrorist companionship.

NOBAMA!

why isn’t this printing?

well I have news for you Senator McCain
the bad reverend is an “issue”
he is a complete racist
not to mention an America-hater

what part of this don’t you understand to be an issue ?

go ahead John
use the “N” word and see how quickly race becomes an issue for you

you really just WANT to lose don’t you ?
I have a tip, quit then
let someone else run if you’re not up to it

McCain, your comments call your judgement into question. I think it is clear that Obama DOES share the beliefs of Wright by his voting record, interference in Kenya, company he keeps.

is it just my computer or is there something wrong with the embed blog?

It is something that has to be said no matter what color some is.

McCain has no right to dictate to us in NC why we shouldn’t support Obama for president. The truth of the matter is that Obama is an avowed socialist and he in fact did support his pastor, Rev. Wright, for 20 years or so.

If McCain continues to not take advantage of facts we all know concerning his opponents, he will soon be selling Viagra with our old nominee ……

McCain, shut up with that crap! Grow some balls and ATTACK YOUR ENEMY!
You won’t let your own party do it because you want the OTHER SIDES endorsement more than YOUR OWN PARTY! You CAN’T win by alienating your own side. You CAN’T win by embracing the other side. You are proving to the country, unequivocally, that you are not two things:
1. A conservative
And more importantly you are not a
2. Regan conservative.
Regan DID NOT WIN by EMBRACING the enemy. He won by putting the enemy in their place!
You have to start defending the people who won’t turn on you, and want a republican in the white house.

Grow some balls, and face your enemy. Because we can’t do it for you all the time.
And if that’s what you think, or won’t even let us tell the people about the other side, then you’d better be prepared for more senate years, instead of white house years.
