1.0 Strategy in 2.0 Times

As Obama moves into the Bible Belt with his campaigh rhetoric and prepared speeches, we need to keep his past actions and words in mind as they tell the real story of who the real man is. We know his past. He says he is a Christian and there are many ways to Heaven, but a true Christian knows that the only way to Heaven is through faith in Jesus Christ. Whether you are a Christian or not, you know that Barack is either ignorant of what it means to be a Christian, or he is pandering to get your vote; either way he is not the man to lead this great nation.

CHANGE can be good, but are we CHANGing from the frying pan into the fire?

As for President Bush's policies, history will tell a different story than the media that is enthralled by Barack Spears or Barack Hilton

It's one thing for Virginians to vote for a NASCAR Democrat for governor. It is quite another for Virginians to vote for the likes of Barak Hussein Obama for President of the United States. Virginians would vote for a more conservative candidate than McCain, but since it's McCain v Obama, it'll be McCain.

I have hard time understanding why people are supporting McCain besides being anti Obama. He is no more smarter than Bush and whats worst is that he would continue Bush's failed policies.

The GOP would rather you like McCain, because he seems so solidly 'old school'...so wonderfully patriotic, after all he has been in Washington for 25 years...he was a pilot (logged a whole 20 hours of flying) during Vietnam. Well, here are some facts, since the GOP doesn't like to deal in those:

McCain graduated from college at the BOTTOM of his class: 894th out of 899th. That alone makes it easy to see why he can't keep the factions and politics of the middle east strait when talks about them. It also explains why he says he doesn't know much about the economy...I certainly believe it!

McCain on Family values: After returning from Vietnam, he finds that his wife has been disabled in a car crash. While still married and living with his 1st wife in 1979 he was, according to The New York Times, ???aggressively courting a 25-year-old woman who was as beautiful as she was rich.??? (McCain then divorced his wife, who had raised their three children alone while he was imprisoned in Vietnam, and launched his political career with his new wife???s family money.)

McCain on the Economy:
- In December 07 he said, "The issue of economics is not something I've understood as well as I should."
- In January 08 he said, ???I don???t believe we???re headed into a recession,??? he said, ???I believe the fundamentals of this economy are strong and I believe they will remain strong.???
- In March 08 he said, "I will not play election year politics with the housing crisis," adding, "I have always been committed to the principle that it is not the duty of government to bail out and reward those who act irresponsibly, whether they are big banks or small borrowers." - Guess it's not his problem if thousands of Americans become homeless thanks to deregulations in the mortgage industry (which were supported by McCain).
- In April 08 when asked about the state of the economy, "I???m very concerned about it, Neil. And obviously the way it???s been going up is just terrible. But I think psychologically ??? and a lot of our problems today, as you know, are psychological ??? the confidence, trust, the uncertainty about our economic future, ability to keep our own home."
- In April 08 when asked about why he supported the gas tax holiday, "This might give them a little psychological boost. Let???s have some straight talk, it???s not a huge amount of money"

McCain on Taxation:
- In 2001 he argued AGAINST Bush's tax cuts saying, "I cannot in good conscience support a tax cut in which so many of the benefits go to the most fortunate among us, at the expense of middle class Americans who most need tax relief."
- In 2006 he said, "The tax cuts are now there, and voting to revoke them would have been to -- not to extend them would have meant a tax increase." Even tax-cutting advocates who cheered McCain's reversal could not help but call it what it was: "It's a big flip-flop," said conservative moveme

McCain attack ad, released June 27, 2008 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDTJDv4hevU) This ad shows Obama on US Currency (The Photoshop ad put about by McCain) Shouldn't Obama have the right to address the questions posed by this ad. Where is the reporting? It seems that MSM's only desire is to push McCain's racial charge without actually doing any research. old "Southern Strategy"?

What does "not out of 'Central Casting' " mean? If it is generally perceived (especially by the Media) to include his race, then he is still playing the race card. All he will have done is changed some words but the code is the same. I bet if the other side said "Central Casting", racism would be screamed.

I am a Black Democrat and I know the Code(s) -- all of them! Barack had better get on with the people's business and issues or he will be in trouble in November. You can count on America to embrace underdogs and shun phonies.

"Obama doesn't do well in Town Hall settings." This is so interesting! If the polling is close or if McCain is perceived to have an edge by then, he should insist that the 3 debates have Town Hall and direct one-on-one components or else he won't participate. America will eat it up!

Republican reporter can't help resort to this comments on John McCain ...I'M TOTALLY AGREED WITH HIS MOTHER to said publicly that indeed that JOHN McCain is plain Stupid.

"For a man who will turn 72 this month, he's a surprisingly immature politician,erratic, impulsive and subject to peer pressure from the last knucklehead who offers him advice. The youthful insouciance that for many years has helped McCain charm reporters like me is now channeled into an ad that one GOP strategist labeled "juvenile," another termed "childish" and McCain's own mother called "stupid."

Dear concerned Canuck-you were hit by one too many hockey pucks while growing up, and Preston Manning sucks.

Dear Concerned Canadian - If it wasn't bad enough to deal with RACISTS IDIOTS in this country, we have to deal with RACISTS MORONS to the north of us. Don't tell me, your parents are brother and sister - I feel bad for you.

Comment from Concerned Canadian: Barack Hussein Obama..the Muslim boy from Chicago..his southern strategy is that they are guaranteed that 99.99 percent of the registered black voters in Mississippi will vote Obama only because he's...you guessed it...black. Everybody is racist..that makes everyone equal..so why are the Blacks in America always complaining and whinning.
