How to Beat a Rock Star: ‘Substance.’

I love how all you repub supporters are all ready trying to stir up the race card. Clinton tried doing that to, and yeah she got record numbers as well, much higher than old whitey McCain but she still lost. Real Americans who believe in the meliting pot that is America will not fall for the race bait. We are grown ups who see people for who they are, what they say, and more so what they do. Obama has never shown himslef to be a racist, as a matter of fact the only people claiming Obama is racist seem to be racist white people. Let it go a black might make it to the white house. Who Care's? He is by far more in touch with the average American than McCain. If you people want to continue down the same road vote McCain. But I can't afford this anymore. Things are getting way too expensive, and we need somoene who isn't willing to rely on foreing oil. We need someone who wants to creat jobs for Americans. Obama has all ready put out his numbers, cost, and plans for doing this. And guess what economic experts even agree his plans will work. Now what does McCain have plans for? Nothing, he has no numbers out or anything yet he claims Obama is too inexperienced. All McCain knows is military and a fighter pilot who gets shot down twice in his frst coupld missions can't be anything to great for a fighter pilot. Yeah he was a POW, and it is a great story. But when it comes to the economy and actual politics he is lost.

You people are reaching at snippets trying to find a racist. The real racist is McCain. Ask minorities in AZ what they think of him, he does nothing for them. They have big gatherings and ask him to come speak so people can see if the want to vote for him but he doesn't have the time. A senator who doesn't have time for people in his own state??? Seems like he has plenty of time to talk to big corporations though, and defend a losing war. $4 plus for gas is too much, and I am sick of it. We need a change back to a president who tried to get the nation out of debt, like Clinton and the people before him did so well before Bush. Bush doubled the national debt in 8 years, what do you think McCain will do? He has no plans at all.

Oh and one last thing. You people out there claiming that that is a racist church had best watch your mouths and take a damn close look at your own beliefs. Persecuting a church for a snippet of one sermon that one person made is very dangerous. That church has a much stronger Christian faith than most. And guess what they actually have white people to, so how can it be racist? Actaully the United Church of Christ was started and still headed by Germans, Norwegians, Polski's, and people from that area of Europe. So again it is not a black supremesit church. Although people would know that if they ever researched things themselves rather than relying on their friends or the media.

GROW UP EVERYONE, STOP TRYING TO DIVIDE US AND THINK ABOUT THIS GREAT NATION ON THE DECLINE'S FUTURE.

You're the funny one sportlock09, with your lack of complete sentences and vague attempts at belittlement.

Bottom line: McCain's arguments don't hold water and are contradictory to the policies he is NOT changing. When you put the two candidates' statements side-by-side, it's obvious who has substance and who is simply writing off vague statements much like in the past.

We will support you soldiers and get McBush out of office

For you that don't get it and feels McBush will give you a better 8 years I ask how is that when he has the same policies as the current President with the lowest ratings in Presidental history. If you are a democrat and feels disrespected by Hillary loss, I ask you to get pass this as you would fighting with your family, at some point you work it out. The democrats need to stand strong and vote our democrat in office with so much at stake. Here are more facts to why: Please keep an open mind. I don't expect the republicans to give a dam because there motto is to get richer and richer, no worries for our economy, the lower and middle class.

Behind the door of Army Spec. Jeremy Duncan's room, part of the wall is torn and hangs in the air, weighted down with black mold. When the wounded combat engineer stands in his shower and looks up, he can see the bathtub on the floor above through a rotted hole. The entire building, constructed between the world wars, often smells like greasy carry-out. Signs of neglect are everywhere: mouse droppings, belly-up cockroaches, stained carpets, cheap mattresses.Soldiers dealing with psychological disorders of their own have been put in charge of others at risk of suicide.

Disengaged clerks, unqualified platoon sergeants and overworked case managers fumble with simple needs: feeding soldiers' families who are close to poverty, replacing a uniform ripped off by medics in the desert sand or helping a brain-damaged soldier remember his next appointment.

The soldiers feel like they are not getting proper respect. This leads to anger."
Most soldiers do not have access to telephones or the internet. Communication with home is solely by letter.

Soldiers can post as many letters as they want a week for free but packages have to be paid for and are censored.

More on " THE REAL JOHN MCCAIN " -

"McCain" was shot down over Hanoi in October 1967 on his 23rd mission over North Vietnam and was badly beaten by an angry mob when he was pulled, half-drowned from a lake. Over the next five-and-a-half years in the notorious Hoa Loa Prison he was regularly tortured and mistreated.

It was in 1969 that Carol went to spend the Christmas holiday ??? her third without McCain ??? at her parents??? home. After dinner, she left to drop off some presents at a friend???s house. It wasn???t until some hours later that she was discovered, alone and in terrible pain, next to the wreckage of her car. She had been hurled through the windscreen. And after the accident, Carol was reportedly in bad shape - and McCain started playing the field. When McCain ??? his hair turned prematurely white and his body reduced to little more than a skeleton ??? was released in March 1973, he told reporters he was overjoyed to see Carol again. But friends say privately he was ???appalled??? by the change in her appearance. At first, though, he was kind, assuring her: ???I don???t look so good myself. It???s fine.??? ???I thought, of course, we would live happily ever after,??? says Carol. But as a war hero, McCain was moving in ever-more elevated circles.

The he met Cindy McCain - a wealthy teenager whos dad had enough money to finance his political ambitions. In 1979 ??? while still married to Carol ??? he met Cindy at a cocktail party in Hawaii. Over the next six months he pursued her, flying around the country to see her. Then he began to push to end his marriage.

Here's what some of McCain's pals say happened:

They portray the politician as a self-centred womaniser who effectively abandoned his crippled wife to ???play the field???. They accuse him of finally settling on Cindy, a former rodeo beauty queen, for financial reasons.
McCain was then earning little more than £25,000 a year as a naval officer, while his new father-in-law, Jim Hensley, was a multi-millionaire who had impeccable political connections.

Here's how one of McCain's former friends puts it: ???This is a guy who makes such a big deal about his character. He has no character. He is a fake. If there was any character in that first marriage, it all belonged to Carol.??? "

Hello Bella. Boats and water. Catch a fish once in a while. The good life. Mixes well with a cold beer. I miss my brother. He and I used to do the same, long time passing, out in a bay across the Gulf from where you are. We would get the wit going and laugh until our sides hurt. Have a good one.

You got to be joking me, some Hillary supporters who are looking to vote McCain, what a joke. He has no policies that reflect Hillaries or Obama's but here is the lastest from Cnn from McBush own words.

John McCain issued a promise Tuesday that may cause a bit of unrest with a broad swath of voters:

He'll veto every single beer?

In a slip of the tongue while railing against excessive earmarks at the National Small Business Summit in Washington, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee inadvertently pledged to veto the popular alcoholic beverage.

If you didn't get that McCain said he will "VETO EVERY SINGLE BEER"
WHAT I SAY, WHAT and you are doubting Obama who is a Harvard grad with better plans for our government, WHAT

OBAMA 08'

The Bush administration is now preparing the après-Bush party which will leave either candidate facing a fait accompli. Why is al-Maliki visiting Tehran so often, if not to convince Iran that the forthcoming Status of Forces Agreement between Iran and the US is not aimed at Iran? The SOFA will give US military and contractors (aka mercenary troops Blackwater etc) immunity from crimes commited in Iraq; the right to arrest anyone accused of anything and to hold them in military confinement; air rights under 27,000 ft; and bases in the country. What Iranian in his right mind would believe that this agreement is not one to ensure US presence for a long, long time in the Middle East? The US will be an occupation force in an occupied country, just as the Nazi's were occupiers in Vichy-France. Just as the US supplied both sides with arms in the Iran-Iraq war (Reagan's Contra affair) helped to continue the war and also led to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, which led to the US encouraged uprising of Iraqis after the war and then their abandonment by the same US, this SOFA is setting the stage for a long period of resistance to the US presence in the area and to all the foreseeable consequences of this unwelcomed presence by the people living in those countries.
So, if Congress does not get a backbone and stop this agreement, the next president will be stuck with troops in Iraq for a long time and so will we.
