How to Beat a Rock Star: ‘Substance.’

"I think we've got a world of problems," said one Republican strategist with extensive experience in presidential campaigns. He said this came home to him with a thud when he watched Obama and McCain give speeches last Tuesday, with the Democrat speaking before "20,000 screaming fans, while John McCain looked every bit of his 72 years" in a speech televised from New Orleans. This Republican cited McCain's speech with a green backdrop that made McCain "look like the cottage cheese in a lime Jell-O salad."

McCain is No George W
Because of President George W. Bush???s low approval ratings, many Democrats and their liberal allies want the next presidential election to be a referendum on Bush???s performance over the past eight years.

The words ??? Bush???s third term ??? and even ??? carbon copy of Bush??? have already become commonplace among the second- and third-tier liberal pundits / hacks (and Democrat presidential candidates ) in describing the possibility of a John McCain administration.

Trendy online mag Salon (the Web???s answer to NPR ) proclaims: ??? John McCain runs for Bush???s third term. ??? On a North Carolina Democratic Web site: ??? John McCain offers nothing more than a Bush third term. ??? Sen. Barack Obama has even gotten into the action, saying Sen. McCain is determined ??? to run for George Bush???s third term. ??? You get the point. This stupid, oversimplified talking point is nonsense.

The only person who could legitimately claim to be giving us four more years of Bush administration is Vice President Dick Cheney. And he isn???t running for president last time I checked. Neither is Karl Rove, who I suppose could also legitimately carry the mantle of a ??? third ??? Bush term. But not McCain.

John McCain is no George W. Bush.

Did John McCain betray US in Vietnam?

"In his book, the Arizona Senator repeatedly expresses guilt and disgrace at having broken under torture and given the North Vietnamese a taped confession, broadcast over the camp loudspeakers, saying he was a war criminal who had, among other acts, bombed a school. "I felt faithless and couldn't control my despair," he writes. He writes, revealing that he made two half-hearted attempts at suicide. Most tellingly, he said he lived in "dread" that his father would find out. "I still wince," he says, "when I recall wondering if my father had heard of my disgrace."

THIS MAN IS NOT FIT TO BE MY PRESIDENT!!!!!!

OBAMA SUPPORTERS:

We need to fight the internet smear campaign initiated by "The Old and McGrumpy Men & Women of America."

Go to "Fight-the-Truth.com" and be heard.


OBAMA / FONDA '08


Thank you!

I am not a McCain Voter, and I am not an Obama voter; nor a Bob Barr voter. None of these yet, cuz I will vote in the fall one way or another. But I have been seeing alot of dissing (dishonoring) of John McCain about him being a war hero. Not by every Obama voter, but some who gone out of their way to go the Swift-boating route of a US veteran. This is very sad. For anyone that wants to learn FACTs about John McCains military record, please read this:

http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/john_mccains_military_record

There is nothing more unsettling to me than another party swift-boating a POW to the degree I have been seeing by Obama supporters.

********NEWS ALERT!********

Turncoat John Ferry is now a part of the WRIGHT (oops) Left-Wing Conspiracy Group to dishonor a fellow veteran. Disrespectful Ageism attacks! Sour grapes huh?

Just 'cause you got Swift-Boated chump! Be a real man and standup and support a fellow vet!

McCain's poll numbers are only going to get worse from here.

That being the case, we're all waiting for the Republican smear season to begin. If these inevitable smears don't catch on, then they will probably backfire and McCain's poll numbers will drop to Bushlike levels.

Evangelicals hate McCain because there is nothing spiritual about him at all. If evangelicals don't vote for Obama, then they won't vote. McCain does not have a spiritual vocabulary. Obama is very skilled talking about redemption, forgiveness, non-judgment, and hope. McCain is skilled talking about tanks and bombs.

This is why McCain went after John Hagee so agressively even though he knew darn well that Hagee made those controversial comments vs. Catholics, Women, and Jews.

The Republicans will not have an energized base in November.

The Democrats will be highly energized, organized and unified.

Game over.

How to beat a rock star? Let Obama and the media play the American Idol game while Mccain campaign and speak and reaches out to voters...........oh and add a Bobby Jindal to the ticket..........this country need a whiz kid to googlized this economy! Mccain - Jindal 2008

This part of an interview with McCain on Roe vs. Wade in 1999

Concerned if women undergo illegal dangerous operations
Q: In 1999, you said, "In the short term, or even the long term, I would not support repeal of Roe vs. Wade, which would then force X number of women in American to undergo illegal and dangerous operations."
A: That was in the context of conversation about having to change the culture of America as regards to this issue. I have stated time after time after time that Roe v. Wade was a bad decision, that I support the rights of the unborn.

Q: If Roe v. Wade was overturned during a McCain presidency, and individual states chose to ban abortion, would you be concerned that, as you said, X number of women in America would undergo illegal and dangerous operations?

A: No, I would hope that X women in America would bring those children into life in this world, and that I could do whatever I could to assist them. Again, that conversation from 1999, so often quoted, was in the context of my concerns about changing the culture in America to understand the importance of the rights of the unborn.

Bush, McCain plug Social Security

Here is a portion of that article
Bush wants to let workers born after 1950 divert a portion of their payroll taxes into individual, privately managed retirement accounts invested in stocks and bonds. In return, workers would have to accept a cut in the traditional Social Security benefit.

Peter, have you ever heard that old saying "Know your enemy?"

You really have to read Obama's book Audacity of Hope. That way, when you criticize him you will sound intelligent an well informed, instead of like a dufus name caller who happens to know some big words.

I have read McCain's three books, and several other books written about him, pro and con. I have listened to McCain's speeches on YouTube. And I did this BEFORE I had decided who to vote for. I also did it for Clinton and for Huckabee.

Now, if you had bothered to do your duty as a citizen and educate yourself about the candidates, you would know that Obama majored in International Relations at Columbia University. This Ivy league school requires exceptionally high SAT scores, higher even than those needed to get in to MIT. And Obama graduated with highest honors, which means he was in the top one percent of the approximately 5,000 students who attend Columbia, all of whom have higher SAT scores than MIT students. Very, very smart competition.

At Harvard Law School, Obama was number one in his class, with the highest GPA of any student there, all of whom were at the top of their classes in college. It is a huge honor to be named as an editor to the Harvard Law Review. Barack was not only an editor, but also President of the Review, the first time in history that any black had been so honored. The Law Review choses its editors based on GPA, writing skills, social skills and attributes that the faculty believe will lead to being top lawyers and lawmakers. The jewel in the crown of the Presidency goes to the student who has all of those qualities, plus outstanding leadership skills.

Obama is considered a Constitutional scholar because he was a Professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Chicago Law School, which ranks number four on the Gorman Report ranking law schools. (Harvard ranks number one.) Part of being a professor is being a scholar. The University of Chicago is a "publish or perish" institution, so Obama has written at length as a Constitutional scholar.

Now that I've answered your baseless assertions about the veracity of Obama's credentials, let's turn our attention to John McCain, shall we?

Of 899 cadets in his class at Annapolis, John McCain ranked 894. That's just about last, and certainly a grade of F, being in the lowest one percent of his peers.

I come from a Navy family, and Annapolis rank is everything when it comes to career advancement. Even though his father and grandfather had been four star Admirals, McCain would have not even been accepted as a Naval officer upon graduation. He flunked out. If it weren't for the fact that we were at war with Vietnam and needed warm bodies, McCain never would have gotten in.

So, if I were a McCain supporter, I would NEVER bring up the subject of education. It makes your guy look very, very bad.

HILLARY SUPPORTERS: Just thought I'd bring you up to date on a new Documentary being made about the OBAMAs (Barack and Michelle) and Barack's political record and his and Michelle's background in general that will be coming out in the fall. The people creating this documentary about the Obamas are the same ones that made a documentary released in January about Hillary Clinton I hear. One of the names I have who is involved is creating this documentary is David Bossie. You can google him. He has said that given the MainStreamMedia has gone out of their way of NOT vetting Obama that they were creating a documentary that will present all US citizens with hard facts about Obama and his political and personal life along the way to making it to where he is now, running for US President. They have said that it will not be based on innuendos and that what they document will be supported with facts. So that is good. Maybe this will give us what we need which is answers to alot of questions a good many 18 million people have about questions about his life that have not been thoroughly answered for many people that fall into the segment not comfortable for voting for Barack Obama. It should be interesting as it is supposed to be THE FACTS with PROVEN resources and not a smear campaign. Maybe this will put our fears to rest about Obama in the fall. Or maybe it might reinforce many concerns that this segment of voters have about him. Guess we will see when this documentary comes out in Sept/Oct timeframe. Just thought you might want to be aware of this.

Comment: IMPORTANT BULLETIN FOR ALL BLOGGERS ON THIS SITE:

TO NEWSWEEK STAFF:

This is to report that there is a FRAUD going on, on this site, in which bloggers are using the names of various bloggers (Obama supporters are most likely the culprits) who are fraudulently writing blogs that are deplorable and tagging them under other bloggers names (non-Obama supporters names). I officially reported such a fraudulent abusive use of fake postings that I just viewed on this site today that affected me personally. This is what it said in which the blogger fraudulently used my name as the poster:

IT SAID THIS. I NEVER WROTE THIS. SO ALL OTHER POSTERS, ESPECIALLY FORMER HILLARY SUPPORTERS, BEWARE:

Posted By: sharenews @ 06/11/2008 03:05:43

Comment: I agree. So why do so many Obama supporters make him out to be a Messiah?

I NEVER wrote the above comment or ANY mention of Obama being a Messiah. At this point I am ready to bring this abusive process that you are using on your site to FOX NEWS as I have done this before and they are very responsive. I have copied this report to send onto the media if I dont see a stop to the smearing of my name or others on this site moving forward!

Sen. John McCain is praising the recent wave of pro-illegal immigration demonstrations, saying that if the protesters hang tough they will succeed in forcing Congress to liberalize immigration laws.

"If such demonstrations continue, I think we will have a bill for the President to sign soon," the Arizona Republican told a New York City gathering on Friday sponsored by the Irish Lobby for Immigration Reform.

"The more debate, the more demonstrations, the more likely we will prevail," McCain added, in quotes picked up by the New York Daily News.

Author: McCain Called Wife ***, Trollop
In his book The Real McCain, author Cliff Schecter claims that John McCain made extremely ugly remarks about his wife Cindy McCain during a tirade witnessed by three reporters and two aides. "At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain's hair and said, 'You're getting a little thin up there,'" Schechter writes. "McCain's face reddened, and he responded, 'At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you ***.' McCain's excuse was that it had been a long day. If elected president of the United States, McCain would have many long days
