Candidates Think Flip-Flopping is the Only Way to Win Elections

I am so sick and tired of MCCain's campaigners saying that Barack has demeaned and/or lied about his (MCCains) service record!! He has never said anything demeaning whatsoever about the service record. I wish they would get on the real issues and quit attacking...but I guess that's all they know being they're working for McCain-after all, he's the master at attacking (look out Iran). OBAMA '08

Sen. Obama is half black and now he is half Clinton.
So much for change....

hey Clark you have to remmeber ia a retired milatary leader and he had a lot of troop's he is saying being held captive is not a requirement if that is the case all veteran's should be considered let's keep it real now he just doesn't want McCain to get it twisted and have some vet's even those with mental condition's potraying themselves as candidates or he know's the mentality of some our Veteran's he was not trying to bring him down just keeping the fear out of the game

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: Because in the matters of national security policy making, it's a matter of understanding risk. It's a matter of gauging your opponents, and it's a matter of being held accountable. John McCain's never done any of that in his official positions. I certainly honor his service as a prisoner of war. He was a hero to me and to hundreds of thousands and millions of others in Armed Forces as a prisoner of war. He has been a voice on the Senate Armed Services Committee, and he has traveled all over the world. But he hasn't held executive responsibility. That large squadron in Air- in the Navy that he commanded, it wasn't a wartime squadron. He hasn't been there and ordered the bombs to fall. He hasn't seen what it's like when diplomats come in and say, 'I don't know whether we're going to be able to get this point through or not. Do you want to take the risk? What about your reputation? How do we handle it-?'

-it's publicly.' He hasn't made those calls.

So, in short, General Clark respects John McCain's service, calls him a hero to millions, but notes that experience doesn't make him qualified to be Commander in Chief.

General Clark called McCain a hero to millions for his sacrifice. And, that's a pretty big statement coming from a man who, himself, left Vietnam on a stretcher. But, facts are facts:

* Senator McCain's service and experience, both as a POW and as a Senator apparently hasn't infused him with a dose of good judgment.

* Senator McCain's experience hasn't led him to realize that the war in Iraq and it's continuance has empowered and emboldened Iran, and destabilized the region.

* Senator McCain's experience hasn't caused him to recognize that we're losing ground in Afghanistan, and Osama bin Laden is still out there, plotting.

* Senator McCain's experience didn't lead him to support the 21st Century GI Bill -- he opposed it. It didn't even make him feel the need to get back to Washington to vote on this -- one of the most important veterans' bills this Congress. He twice skipped votes on the GI Bill, to fundraise.

* Senator McCain's experience didn't help him empathize with troops are overstretched and overdeployed, when he voted against the bipartisan Webb-Hagel "Dwell Time Amendment," which would have given troops as much time at home as in the field.

Senator McCain is running on his experience, saying it makes him ready to lead right away. By doing so, he is asking people to look at what that experience taught him. By looking at Senator McCain's positions and votes (or lack of them), it seems that experience has not given him the right judgment on important issues of our time. And, while we should all honor Senator McCain's service, that doesn't mean we should necessarily honor it by putting him in the White House to take up George W. Bush's third term.

So, General Clark is 100 percent absolutely right, and he should not back down, These are important times, and deserve a blunt and honest debate

Ok everyone here is where I stand. You all know my dislike for the Clintons goes beyond the cheating, Bill LIED about it repeatedly to all of us Americans, Bill lost his law license due to perjury WHILE POTUS, the Clintons are dirty politician who appear to arrange for very bad luck to happen to people who cross them, and they stole property from the White House as they left. Thats the Reader's digest version.

well i for one will not vote for obama or mccain if my life depended on it and it dose i know they have both proved themselves to be liars and will say anything to get elected and i just don't trust either to do what they say they would do obama said he is for change well so far he has ran the same kind of campaign as all the others in the past will say or do anything to get elected and mccaine has done the same so were dose that leave us the same way we were and that scares me not for myself but for my kids and grand kids and great grand child that will be here soon i will probably not live long enough to have it effect me very much but they have there whole life's ahead of them at least when we had the choice of electing Hillary we knew what we were going to be getting now that choice is gone the people did not want her so i hold them responsible for my family futures and hope and pray they are the ones that are right and i am wrong but if i am the one that's right god help us all

In the long run, history hates a bald face liar. All of the data is there. The war was as big a lie as we have ever endured from the office of the President. It was fake built upon fake built upon misrepresentations that are now common knowledge. As soon as the cudgel is taken from his incompetent hand, the truth will flood in and the best that he can expect is infamy. Mc Cain takes the hit as the culprits fade into the background.

GOODMORNING ALL!!!!

It's been a busy weekend for politics, folks. The GALLUP POLL - which had the candidates tied for the better part of last week - now has OBAMA back up by 4pts. RASMUSSEN is showing a 6% lead for OBAMA, and REALCLEARPOLITICS has OBAMA leading by 7%.

The ELECTORAL MAP - which the GOP never missed an opportunity to reference - has McCain LOSING by 40 points.

Although, BOTH candidates have major flaws and questionable pasts, how is it that ALL of the polls are significantly one-sided? Tracking the candidates support groups reveals that McCain has no true core supporters. His constituacy is "scattered". Evangelicals are jumping ship....the far right, hard-core conservatives are ignoring his phone-calls......and, what I've been hearing is that women (as upset as they are at OBAMA) are not viewing McC as an option.

It seems McCain's past, and caveman-like attitude towards women is rearing it's ugly head. In a recent interview, McC jokes about BEATING HIS WIFE:

http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/06/mccain-gambles.html

I wouldn't think this would be such an issue if he didn't already have a history of degrading women. In a press conference McC CALLS HIS WIFE THE C-WORD:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/04/07/report-mccains-profane-ti_n_95429.html

You'd think that McC's disrespect toward women would only be directed towards adults, but it doesn't stop there. When Chelsea Clinton was only 12 years old, McCain directed a vebal assault towards her - a defenseless young girl:

On top of the fact that he cheated on, and abandoned his ex-wife after she was severely injured in a car accident, to be w/ a rich, blonde heiress - I now understand why he's losing support of women by the day.

Wait.....almost forgot........OH HAPPY DAYS!!!!!!

This campaign is already exhausting. Obama is a smooth talking, under experienced liberal, and McCain is a maverick turned radical republican. It's all about mud slinging wiht very little substance. Hillary was by far the best of the three

WARNING TO ALL OBAMAMOHAMMEDS...WATCH AT YOUR OWN RISK...DOES NOT MIX WELL WITH KOOL-AIDE............................ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDgc6tZTBpk ............................

# of views has gone from ~200 to ~3000 in last few hrs.

NOBAMA!!!

At the beginning of the month I thought the opposite would be true, but the more time that passes, the more I miss Hillary. Obama is a smooth talking under experienced liberal, and McCain doesn't know whether he is a maverick or a radical right wing republican. In the meantime, they are fatiguing the voters with their mud slinging. Change we can count on? Leadership we can count on? Not a chance from either one of these two.

Sen Obama is half Black and now he is half Clinton

KOOL-AID??????..From the kitchen of the obama sheeple!! take one heaping spoonful of an inexperienced elitist white male seeking self validation through exploitation of his african-american genetics. Combine two parts black liberation theology clerics spewing intolerance! With two parts of unrepentant intellectuals committed to the destruction of America. Stir in one cup of militant black wife harboring the overwhelming desire to stick it to whitey and one spoonful of typical white person grandmother mix well. Pour a gallon of anti-patriotism into tall glasses and sprinkle with naïve foreign policy ideations. Serve on a platter of meaningless oratorical hyperbole with a generous dollop of wealth re-distribution. Sprinkle liberally with zest of white guilt flip it and flop it till it tastes right. Serve large portions to the undiscerning and spellbound masses convinced that the Second Coming is upon America and now you have a complete recipe for disaster!

The only one wagging their tale about Barack Obama in regards to General Clark is you dead dog

Nice try, walking dead hero, at the turn around. I'm Only talking about General Clark "The War hero" That actually has had the experience to make the judgments and he calls them like he sees them.

I didn't see in his statement any Mention of Barack Obama

Extend your stupid PAIN with your vote for McCain

5:00am comes early
have a good night posting

Mc Cain's chance was in 2000. He was ten times better than Bush (that doesn't say too much), but the Rove method of smear ate him up. He's too old and too late. It's sad but true. He's just spittin' into the wind.

When it comes to change, it doesn't begin with the president. "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country" JFK. Change begins with each citizen in the USA living up to their potential, working as best they can, being the best parents they can, helping others and contributing to their communities. Change begins with each citizen registering to vote and voting for honest representatives who have the best interests of the people, the country and Earth in mind. Voting for the best qualified representatives at the local level ensures as they move up to the Senate, House of Representatives or a Governorship, they will maintain their pledge to represent the people. Everyone knew GW Bush was a loser from day one, but every kept voting him into a higher office and now the USA is a mess because of decisions people made at the most basic level.

For those who believe in truth after 8 years of lies and decdeit and to see that Both parties are corrupt, Here is an article from FactCheck.org, an organization which supports neither party. This article is why we need a revolution in this country to take back our country from the pandering and lying and corrupt politicians:
