Heh, to state the obvious the world according to McCain will be exactly the same as the world according to Bush. I believe the result of the special election is foreshadowing things to come.

CAN WE TAKE A PEEK AT THE MENTAL HEALTH OF THIS GUY ???? NOW I SEE WHY HIS DOCTORS WILL BE ON VACCATION TILL NOV 5TH. HE SEEMS TO HAVE A MORE ROBUST TIMETABLE FOR WITHDRAWAL THN HILARY AND OBAMA PUT TOGETHER.
KEEPS CHANGING HIS MIND.
GO MCCAIN.. TO A NURSING HOME!

And the world according to Obama will be exactly

the same as the world according to Ward Churchill.

SEND O-BOMB-A TO LIVE WITH OSAMA.

TO DOOMSTER.

I dont know who u support but you sure do sound like a hater.
My 3yr old can come up with a better line

last month, McCain said that “to promise a withdrawal of our forces from Iraq, regardless of the calamitous consequences to the Iraqi people, our most vital interests, and the future of the Middle East, is the height of irresponsibility. It is a failure of leadership.”
Did he just fail?

Are you kidding me?!?! Ok, at this point, all 3 candidates are guilty of pandering to some degree. But, give me a break, Johnny boy!!

Next, he’ll be promising 40acres and a mule to the black community, an offer to Al Gore to head his newly founded “Presidential Global Warming Coalition”, free concert tickets to college students, and half-priced latees to grasp the “elitist” vote.

How many of us were counting the days until the Republicans vocalized a promise to catch Bin Laden? Reminds me of the “terror alert” that would miraculously increase when Bush was down in the polls.

That’s alot to promise for an over the hill man who may face a Democratic congress. How’s he going to explain how he didn’t live up to his lofty campaign promises in 2013? Assuming of course, that he lives that long. He’d better pick a d*** good VP. I truly believe that McCain is living in a world all of his own; one that’s not based on reality. Just my opinion.

Washington, D.C. (AHN) - In a profanity-laced tirade, U.S. Sen. John McCain exploded at a fellow senator over a proposed immigration overhaul.

In a heated exchange, McCain screamed, “F- - - you!” at Texas Sen. John Cornyn, who had been raising concerns about the legislation, the New York Post reports.
“This is chickens- - - stuff,” McCain told Cornyn, according to several people in the room off the Senate floor Thursday. “You’ve always been against this bill, and you’re just trying to derail it.”

Apparently, the conversation escalated after Cornyn accused McCain of being too occupied with running for president to be a part of negotiations that a small group of senators has been engaged in for months to hammer out a bipartisan compromise.
“Wait a second here,” Cornyn said to McCain, according to the Washington Post. “I’ve been sitting in here for all of these negotiations and you just parachute in here on the last day. You’re out of line.”

So your strategy is to include your 3 year old in a conversation with a stranger who is a hater?

Ward Churchill has a crystal ball and in it he sees little EICHMANNS working feverishly

inside Obamas head.

NOW THIS IS NOT THE WORLD ACCORDING TO CHRISTIANS

their are a lot of Christian Fundamentalist that will have a problem voting for John Mccaine.
especially when you bring up the angle of infidelity.
while his first wife was very ill, he was having and affair , with his new billionaire wife.
yes he was a war hero ,and no one will take that away from him. but there in lies the morality,
can you trust someone who turned his back on a woman so ill at the time

WHEN YOUR DOWN AND OUT , IS THIS WHO YOU WILL VOTE FOR ?

i am sure that is what we call supporting cast.
birds of a feather !

he will gladly take that one !

GET UP STAND UP, STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHT !

And your Proof is where????

Give me a Break people….McCain is speaking of his “goals”, Not promises. These are the “goals” he wants to aim for. Jeeeeeeeeeeeg, I’ve never seen so many people afraid that McCain just might be able to pull this off. Shame on all you McCain bashers…. Wow! the Audacity of Hope.

Obama is sinking fast! He cannot win in November and the party is in a panic, but what are they going to do now he is loosing ground?????

8 years of goals

nowhere close to where we were according to goals,

and at that a republican controlled congress.

pretty pathetic !.

they lost my vote this time, no wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy !

So, now you think you know the details of their divorce? Ever consider they were already split when he met Cindy and wife was the one who wanted it? Why is he still paying alimony? Why are they still friends?
Cindy is not a billionaire.
you sure like to exagerate when you don’t even know what your’re talking about.
Get all the delegates you want for OB. Its the electoral votes that count in the GE. And he won’t get them.
The 4,000 + delegates at the convention will be fun to watch. Some will really be teed off. Fight team fight. United my foot. lol. No matter how much spin they put on it.

Bush and Mccain are not alike at all, republicans have been saying for years , he is about as close to a democrate as you can get and still call yourself republican, I see him as a middle man myself, and he will be gatting my vote…..Mccain’08

he couldnt stand a chance next to bush. Bush at least was loyal to his family.

i dont trust him ! turn your back on your family .. where is this thing called Character ?

Get it !

Typo-getting my vote…..

If you want to Judge him on his his divorce, you would also be judging half of americans. The divorce rate in America is 50/50.

Mike in south florida, if you find this Please find me I need to talk to you! God Bless and hope to hear from you soon.

Congratulations Senator McCain! You’ve layed out your visions for our country. Thank you for all your services. You’ve put your life on the frontline in protecting America. You are a true hero, a patriot, and the most trusted among the candidates. You have a proven excellent records of your performances.

Obama is unknown! All I see in him are complaints about being offended. Even if he is not the target as if he was so guilty that he complains right away of being offended. Bravo to Presidnet Bush. he had been stating that he won’t negotiate with terrorists without preconditions since 2001. Why is Obama offended of this? Is he so guilty now? Obama said before that he will talk to Iran, Syria, Hamas without any conditions. I think they will unite and CHANGE the world to islam. Hamas has already endorsed him.

Obama should drop out now, while he still has a party…….

Dwight, Couples split up all of the time, usually for a multitude of reasons, not just the ones that seem obvious. If that is the only dirt you can come up with it`s pretty weak. If Michelle Obama was ill, and Barak left her, I wouldn`t hold it against him at all. I would be that much closer to voting for him. Everyone knows what a bit@@ she is, and it would be assumed that he left her because of her attitude, instead of her illness.

Hi Holly: I saw your conversation with Dean. Don’t get me wrong, I think he’s a nice guy, but he doesn’t seem to read my coments very well.

Number one. He said in one of his post that I called him a liberal. I don’t remember ever calling him that. I have however called Mitt Romney a liberal, but I never said that he was liberal to support him.

Number 2. He keeps acting like my only reason for not voting for Mitt Romney was becuase he was a Mormon. However I have told him many time that I would still vote for a Mormon and that had nothing to do with my decision. I do however disagree with them ( the Mormons) but thats not the reason I choise Huck over Mitt. I have debated with Dean on issues over and over, but he still acts like I did vote for Mitt becuase of his religion. I can assure you that thats not the case.

Is BO really a truth teller? A stand up guy? Oozing honesty and integrity from every pore?

*  ”These days, [Obama] says, he attends the 11 a.m. Sunday service at Trinity .  .  . every week. .  .  . His pastor, Wright, has become a close confidant.” (Chicago Sun-Times, April 5, 2004)

*  ” ’Senator Obama is proud of his pastor and his church.’ ” (Obama campaign statement reported in the New York Times, April 30, 2007)

*  ”[Wright] is like an old uncle who sometimes will say things I don’t agree with.” (February 25, 2008 )

*  ”I don’t think that my church is actually particularly controversial.” (March 2, 2008 )

*  ”I can no more disown [Wright] than I can disown the black community.” (March 18, 2008 )

*  ”I am outraged by the comments that were made and saddened over the spectacle that we saw yesterday. .  .  . The person I saw yesterday was not the person that I met 20 years ago.” (April 29, 2008 )

And if you would like to read a very good analysis of Wright’s philosophy, Stanley Kurtz has reviewed a year’s worth of the Trumpet, the TUCC magazine.

Go ahead and read this, then come back and tell me, with a straight face, BO didn’t know exactly what Wright was all about from day one.

You are correct. If BO gets in, we will not have six years with no attacks on US soil. We may not have more than a year or two.

No wonder Hamas wants Obama to be our next president….. He’s going to take America’s nukes away and leave us helpless.

To Wonderful Oregon and Kentucky Electorate - (Specially Young voters…

A Candidate who will preside our country with “clear plans” and not by “mere words” to protect the safety and security of every Americans; and A candidate will not use and destroy the Reputation and Prestige of the Presidency for self aggrandizement of false hopes of dealing with government who advocates terrorisms without condition.
- You need to vote for a candidate who has no ties with anybody who hates America in any shape or forms.
- Don’t vote for a candidate who’s loyalty to the Flag and Country is questionable.
- Don’t be swayed by Flowery speeches without substance by some politician who thinks words are enough to solve our problems without clear plans and solutions.

Dust, I just read your post, sorry I just saw it. I did not expect you to tell me that you were against him because of his religion, I did not know of your and dean past so I made few comments about it, I hope I did not offend you. Where I live there are no mormons so I know only what I have heard, after the election i plan on checking them out and if they go against the Bible, I will say they are wrong.Where I live we have Jehovah wittnesses, I invite them in and except what they give me and if it tells different from the Bible I throw it away.I have had only one family that came to my house. But as a child I remember my parents saying run hide the Jehovah wittnesses are coming, pretend we are no here. I liked that Huckabee was going to send illegals back even thier kids, my county is broke because of them……..

Yep. In this country, after a dog has bitten the neighbors…say… two or three times, the county puts it down.

Of course in BO’s neighborhood, they just keep feeding it.

Holly,

It was Romney that was going to send everyone back by clamping down on businesses that hire illegals. Same thing that is working in Arizona (no thanks to McCain).

Huckabee was originally for giving scholarships to children of illegals.

While I agree that the people need to be treated humanely and in a Christian manner- there is a difference in having individuals and churches helping and asking the government to do it. Huckabee was a very late comer in signing the immigration pledge.

That was one of the biggest reasons I left his camp.

What the decider forgot was that he had talks with North Korea. His secdef and secstate are planning talks with foreign enemies RIGHT NOW.

Crawford awaits their village idiot to come back home. Arizona also awaits their grump old delusional walmart greeter

Dust-

Since you and I both agree that we need to vote McCain (no matter who his VP is) over Obama, there is no sense in arguing about it- or debating further.

But, I would like for you to go back and read the posts I had to Holly about what the Ron Paul supporters are doing.

They are really going to make the National Convention in St. Paul a disaster if they aren’t exposed and stopped.

I need your help in spreading the word and getting other conservatives involved.

McCain is far from my first choice, but if votes get split again- we will have Obama and a strongly Democrat controlled Congress and we will not recover from that. I will hold my nose and vote McCain because so much is at stake and he knows it.

But given his own position on Hamas, McCain is the last politician who should be attacking Obama. Two years ago, just after Hamas won the Palestinian parliamentary elections, McCain was interviewed for the British network Sky News’s “World News Tonight” program. Here is the crucial part of our exchange:

Q: “Do you think that American diplomats should be operating the way they have in the past, working with the Palestinian government if Hamas is now in charge?”

McCain answered: “They’re the government; sooner or later we are going to have to deal with them, one way or another, and I understand why this administration and previous administrations had such antipathy towards Hamas because of their dedication to violence and the things that they not only espouse but practice, so . . . but it’s a new reality in the Middle East. I think the lesson is people want security and a decent life and decent future, that they want democracy. Fatah was not giving them that.”

For some Europeans in Davos, Switzerland, where the interview took place, that’s a perfectly reasonable answer. But it is an unusual if not unique response for an American politician from either party. And it is most certainly not how the newly conservative presumptive Republican nominee would reply today.

Given that exchange, the new John McCain might say that Hamas should be rooting for the old John McCain to win the presidential election. The old John McCain, it appears, was ready to do business with a Hamas-led government, while both Clinton and Obama have said that Hamas must change its policies toward Israel and terrorism before it can have diplomatic relations with the United States.

Even if McCain had not favored doing business with Hamas two years ago, he had no business smearing Barack Obama. But given his stated position then, it is either the height of hypocrisy or a case of political amnesia for McCain to inject Hamas into the American election.

I never heard of either one of them untill the debate (or just before), so all I know about each is what was said at the debate, or the Obama hurricane made me forget. If either had won I would have checked into his background alot more, but they both lost and we are stuck with Mccain so I have been trying to support him, because I think he is the lesser of three evils. We should be debating the other side, not each other. Now if choosen one or the other for VP I will do alot more digging….
