McCain Running “Most Scurrilous Campaign In Modern History,” Biden Says

MSNBC Cartoon

MSNBC Cartoon

LANCASTER, OH — Hours before tonight’s third and final presidential debate, Democratic VP nominee Joe Biden accused John McCain of being interested in only in negative campaigning.

“The ultimate decision here for the American people to make is to take a look at, take a look at whether or not this negative campaigning John McCain is interested in – and that’s all he seems to talk about, he and Sarah Palin, or you’re really going to do something about the country and the economy,” he said.

Pullin out a copy of the Lancaster Eagle-Gazette, Biden said a cartoon on the editorial page summed up his feelings on the state of the race. “There’s a group of people, business men dressed in suits, standing on a ledge. Some of them jumping off into the street. And it has Sarah Palin saying to John McCain, you know, Barack Obama pals around with terrorists, you know?” he said.

“I think it best captures anything I have seen. While the economy is going to hell in a hand basket, while people are losing their jobs, while things are going under, they’re running the most scurrilous campaign in modern history.”

Biden often cites a study showing that 100% of McCain’s television ads are negative (the figure is actually 98%), and hes decried the campaign’s attempt to tie Barack Obama to former Weatherman bomber Bill Ayers in ads and on the stump.

Borrowing a line from Hillary Clinton, Biden said voters aren’t interested in the negativity. “This is the ultimate, ultimate job interview. And that’s what it’s about. People aren’t looking for a lot of extraneous malarkey,” he said. “They’re looking for what are you gonna do, guys? What are you gonna do to change my circumstance?”

Boy is that the pot calling the kettle black?????? During the primaries all Biden could say about Nobama is that he was not qualified to be President - he didn’t have the experience. Now he just kisses all parts of Nobama’s body. He can’t get enough since Nobama choose him as his running mate. What happened Biden? Are you just that stupid or is “aging” affecting you???? You’re not too far in age from McCain (who you and the Dems have ready to put in the grave). Biden
“ain’t no spring chicken” in case you dummycrats haven’t noticed.

McCain is only striking back and trying to fight the smears by the Nobama/bin Biden campaing and all the attention that the media so lovingly gives to Mr. Nobama.

IF and it’s a might big IF Nobama/bin Biden had any scruples then McCain would not have had to fight back. This year, Nobama has made it ” all’s fair in politics - unless of course you’re bringing the truth about Nobama to light - then it’s off limits and he distances himself from the issue. What a typical Chicago thug.

What is scurrilous is this economy crisis and nobody holding the politicians to blame for it accountable.

 
Comment by Frank

Mr. Biden should recall what he said about Obama and what Hillary said… apparently, he’s a bit sensitive about McCain exposing Obama.

 
Comment by Duke Fletcher

McCain and Palin have waged a pathetic campaign. Obama has it in the bag.

 
 
Comment by lauraglaw

The mainstream media and entertainment industry are doing all of Obama and Biden’s dirty work for them in attacking John McCain and Gov. Palin. It is the ultimate in deceitfulness for Biden to claim that McCain is negative when Obama-Biden have the media to do their bidding. Actually, their hands are extremely dirty here - especially when you factor this deceit about where all the attacks on John McCain and Sarah Palin are coming from. People better wake up and see Obama’s lies.

could Michelle pass the masking tape Biden needs some, Joey when this is over I hope John never speaks to you again, no matter what happens. You will be sorry because Obama is no friends to anyone but himself. Look out Michelle, he gets in the whitehouse and there will be a blonde in every room when you are gone or not looking.

 
Comment by Kim

Biden is an idiot!!! I’m sorry but Biden has done nothing but say stupid and embarrassing stuff since he accepted as VP…..I told my husband a long time ago that Hillary would not have accepted the VP nomination anyway after the way Obama treated the Clintons and now all the other zombies out there are going to vote for someone who gives pretty speeches. That’s Obama’s only good quality. Obama has played some of the US people, especially the susceptible younger ones like play dough. I thought people were smarter than that. I guess not.

 
Comment by wolfster1

Biden is a liar, and a crook. I have no use for that man.

 
Comment by Bob

If the media would truly do their job… report the facts…all the facts, and let the American people make an informed choice then McCain and Palin could focus more on the economy and running the race. Instead of having to run the race and do the job of the media, which is to get the truth out there so we can make an informed choice. Thank God for Fox News and Rush!

McCain/Palin ‘08

 
Comment by Luke

I’m a veteran of 6 years in the 10th MTN DIV. I served in Iraq twice, and Afghanistan once. I could not be happier that Obama (the clear choice for anyone who wants to see the country move forward, instead of collapse) is running away with this entire race. I only post this message on here to let everyone that watches FixedNews know that it is over, and it’s time to face the fact that Obama will be running this wonderful country of ours.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

That ad with obama and Osama was great! the only difference is the BS. Golden simply Golden!

 
Comment by Gaias Child

Hillary will likely be offered a cabinet position that will allow her to manage the healthcare reform. Biden is an excellent elected official and person and man and Obama probably chose him for the maturity and experience as well as the forthrightness. Knowledge of foreign relations and everything that goes with it made Biden my first pick for State Department, although there was also Defense and there is great talent available such as Colin Powell and even Secy Rice, though she might be held responsible for some of the untruthfulness of the Bush administration that got us into our expensive war in Iraq. If Hillary doesn’t want the cabinet job I’ll be surprised, she’d be great at domestic and foreign policy. She would have been the nominee except the times gave us Obama and a more brilliantly managed and dignified and Midas Touch campaign we’ve never seen.

 
Comment by Traci

Obama has been running for 2 years and no one has brought out any information on Obama until now… did Biden know his birth certificate might be a fake… one of them is since he has 2. One from Kenya and one from Hawaii…does michelle know the truth… Does michelle know about all his affiliations with radicals.. ayers is only one of them. She may be just a pawn in his big agenda, she better fact check her husband… you are right about the masking tape since they all have not offered up any of this information?????Hey Biden, if Obama will not tell you about himself, you can check this website and find out just what you should know to run your campaign..

After reading the comment section, I think the angry McCain supporters should contact Fox Mulder from the X-files to help sort out all their conspiracy theories.

p.s. I think McCain is a good man and politician.

Comment by Traci

responding to Luke..

Thank you for your service sir. but i have to disagree with you when you talk of Obama so sweetly. this man is a radical and i urge you to go to this website and see for yourself who Obama is.. It is well written and very informative, you will enjoy the read. Not trying to sway you but just to educate you. The news will not report all the facts so therefore we have to pass it along like this. Thanks again.

Looks like Joe is running off at the mouth again. This is the same guy who said BO wasn’t ready to be president and now all of a sudden he’s great. BTW if you take away all the botox Joey’s had he isn’t so young either.

 
Comment by Bob

Obama is clearly against America. He wants everyone to have equality and be safe and free. Typical liberal BS. A true American would realize that everybody is different. Therefore, some win and some lose. Sure its a drag if you don’t have healthcare and your kids are sick. But what do you want? Russia? I say vote for McCain if you want a country were you can be proud no matter how bad things get.

 
Comment by pamela

I kept waiting to see what the candidates had to say in the third debate. But I’m so sick of the Democrats flooding the media with their whinning. And how many times has Obama had to hide from his past relations, Wright, Ayers, Acorn? How many more skeletons are there? It’s apparent, Obama you are hiding something!!!

 
Comment by abo

I used to think the majority of Americans were dumbed down. It appears now only the minority is. GOP grow up.

 
Comment by Matt Hainey

What would we expect from McCain he work’s for the rich he is rich and he can’t see past his own wallet.He can’t unerstand what we the people are going thourgh

 
Comment by Luke

It’s interesting how Bob from above chose to group all other media together, and Rush and Fox News were the honest, balanced, and fair “media.” It appears that someone might be a Republican, but who can know for sure. The “facts” that she is referring to, that don’t exsist, are the reason that Barack Obama is the clear choice for President, and John McCain should be put in a home with the rest of his graduating class.

 
Comment by Jason

Republicans = fear and hate
It will not work this time!

 
Comment by Obamaofcourse

For all who think the media is in the tank for Obama. Think again. Major media is owned by Republican, they do not support Obama. They are aware that MOST Americans WANT Obama to be POTUS and they do not wish to offend us. So stop whining and face facts

 
Comment by Kevin

Believe me, if the Democrats ran the country in the last 8 years, we would be in the same situation as we are in today or worse . There are hidden factors that sometimes we don’t see like the war in Iraq and Vietnam but together we can solve our problems. I am sure if we vote for McCain and Palin we will get out of the war in Iraq and our economy will get better. McCain and Palin understand American values and they will fight for America.

 
Comment by Avilove

Thank you for sharing your person experience and your insight, Luke. I think it is extremely telling of the state of affairs when experienced military personnel come forward to support Obama, who is considered by some to be a very controversial candidate.

I don’t understand what the McCain supporters here are commenting about. Joe Biden express himself factually and concisely. McCain and Palin have indeed taken the low road, they are lying to their constituents, the general public, and the world. It seems so desperate. Of course they have to continue this blunder of an act because they have no choice. They have to fight to the bitter end.

My only hope is that their supporters will listen, and I mean really listen, to what they are saying and question whether they are suitable to run this country. If they REALLY listen and pull themselves out of the media haze and out of their own sense of self-righteousness, they might just change their mind for the good of this wonderful nation.

I love this country and I’m concerned about the welfare of its people… all of them. There is a great article out called “if the world could vote…” I recommend that all of the McCain supporters read it.

 
Comment by Kevin

Joe Biden will be back in the dark after Obama gets elected. 35 years in Senate, I can not name a good thing that he has done as senator. In the vice presidential debate, Joe said he would not drill oil because it takes 10 years or longer to get it and a week later Obama said he would drill oil. They are not sure what they want to do.

Name a good thing that Biden has done as senator. None!

Obama comes from nowhere. We can hardly know this man!

I have not heard Obama say what he did as senator in Chicago. This guy is a secret!

 
Comment by No nonsense

Biden is a liar and Obama is a stranger. Vote for McCain and Palin!

 
Comment by Matt

Bob: I find it very amusing that you site Rush Limbaugh as someone who tells the truth. You are an ignorant fool.

Obama might not be perfect, but McCain has made a fool of himself in recent weeks. His performance in the last debate was terrible, and his choice of Palin for VP was ludicris. He’s an old fart who’s rapidly losing touch with reality.

Obama will run away with it next month.

 
Comment by jonathan

Sarah Palin is UNAMERICAN! McCain is just ERATIC! Sure let’s just give them the keys to the White House and wait for America to IMPLODE!!!!

 
Comment by sue

“Thank God for Fox News”. Yes you are right. After all it was through an interview at Fox News that it has come to light about more corruption of the Palin’s. It seems they had a lot of favors done for them in getting their house built. Ironically, all the favors were done by people involved with Senator Stevens, a big political backer of Palin.
Thank you Fox for pointing out the corruption of the Palins.
By the way Fox, when are you going to play the video of John McCain at an Acorn convention in 2007 saying “everything that is great about America is in this room” Hmm, could it be that he was a supporter of Acorn before he was against it??? Hmm, just another smear attempt by McCain.
By the way Fox> when are you going to bring out the voter suppression going on throughout this country by the Republican Party.
To all those who say only young, dumb people support Obama, you really need to get out more. People of every age, race and religion support him. Remember Palin just wants the ignorant beer drinkers to vote for her. Remember she says she appeals to Joe Six Pack. Talk about ignorant!

 
Comment by Connieb

Sherry, you sound a little upset???
You will just have to get over it..Barack Obama is the best thing to happen to this country in a LONG TIME…better get used to CHANGE because it IS going to happen…and the name calling is a little CHILDISH, don’t you think??? His correct name is BARACK OBAMA :)

TO HELLLLWITH THE GOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 
Comment by David

Well folks, you gotta remember; what passes as a smear for the Dems is questioning or telling the truth about Obama’s relationships with Socialists. In actuality, a smear is a lie. In essence, most of the Dems do NOT know the difference between a lie and a truth. What irritates me is that some of them do know the difference but do not care. And there you have a key factor in the Liberal agenda.

Say NO to Socialists!!!!

 
Comment by Anna B

Uh Nancy … I think you must be confusing Obama with McCain … now McCain, there’s someone who would go for a “there will be a blonde in every room”, especially once Cindy’s botox wears off some more … he already did with that blonde lobbiest discussed earlier this year!
Why would Obama go for some skanky blonde, when he has an intelligent, beautiful chocolate mama like Michelle? You can tell he is totally besot with her … don’t go projecting your skanky republican morals on Obama!
Go Joe Biden and Barack Obama - tell the truth - we love you!!! Obama 2008/12 .. the only intelligent choice.

 
Comment by Anna B

Also Luke, thank you for your service to this country and your true patriotism!

 
Comment by Traci

In September and October of 2008, an auditor at the federal Election Commission requests a formal investigation into Obama campaign contributions, suspecting it of collecting $200 million or more in illegal contributions, including illegal foreign donations; the auditor states, “I believe we are looking at a hijacking of our political system that makes the Clinton and Gore fundraising scandals pale in comparison.”
The Obama staffers in charge of the campaign’s “small” (less than $200) Internet campaign contributions are Obama’s former college roommates from Pakistan, Muhammad Hasan Chandio and Wahid Hamid; those “small” contributions total at least $223 million; many are believed to be illegal contributions from foreign countries. Campaigns are required to keep track of names of those who contribute more than $200 in aggregate, and verify their nationality as U.S., but the Obama campaign does not – in direct violation of federal election laws.

Wonder when the media will pay any attention to this…

I really feel John has lost touch with reality and his v.p. choice makes me sick. when I was young winking either meant you were joking or flirting. Too many women use their sexuality to gain popularity as a large amount ofthe male popularity don,t think with the head on their shoulders

this was an awesome post

 
Comment by koolkat08

Obama will surely change America and the world, for the better.

With McCain, he with his freaking blinking, he cannot be trusted. He will do ANYTHING to win, as if the White House is some real property he is trying very hard to get his hands on (he has plenty of houses already but nothing beats the White House). Lately, he tries to mimic Obama and said that he will change America. The only thing he is and will be doing is short-changing the American people.

 
Comment by Jojo

Why hate on Biden for becoming inspired by Obama like millions of others in this country? Even Clinton is a believer… Joe as the VP candidate supporting Obama the Presidential candidate, that’s a frivolous point of contention.

Believe in the change that YOU can impart.
