McCain is trying to reach the uninformed,easy mislead voter and he is doing a very good job of it.

All of McCain's ads are lies,what is new about that.
A candidate who has been proven to make up falsehoods and lies about his opponent should be disqualified from the race because that is cheating. If you cheat in a sport you at least get penalized. Should we teach the children of the United States that they should lie, cheat, and steal and do what ever it takes to get to the top? Are these the family values that the GOP are always mentioning to steal the Christian vote? God help us.
Rocketboy,
I wholeheartedly agree with you. The Election Commission should setup a rule that if it has been proven that a candidate has purposely or deliberately lied or mislead the public about his opponent's record, that candidate should loose a state and all its electoral votes.
The best way to tell if McCain is lying is to check and see if his lips are moving.
I think the Obama campaign needs to respond to those ads. There are a lot of people out there in the swing states who don't have computers or have access to the internet to find out the truth. If McCain keeps telling these lies after lies without any rebuttal from Obama, they will eventually become the truth to those people.
John McCain with seven homes scattered about will see his taxes raised that is for sure.
The lobbyist on his bus let him got to the bathroom whenever he wants and not much else. When their client the European company Airbus said "get us the contract", he investigated a 50 billion dollar military contract with the U.S company Boeing and the "Independent Maverick Watchdog" (TM) found wrongdoing and Airbus get 50 billion taxpayer dollars. And don't forget when he had to rush to see the clients in Brazil just in time for a photo-op release of a hostage. These client/lobbyist relationships of people who were with him on the bus and running his campaign are public record.
I, for one, am ready for a change from the Bush Administration's habit of raiding the taxpayer cookie jar to give sweetheart deals for mega bucks to their friends. But at least the Bush Administration was owned by American corporations. McCain is pre-sold to anyone in the world with the right connections and willing to pay.
It would not make any difference McCain have not paid the taxes on his California home in five years .
Oh you forgot to mention McCain's $500 shoes and private jet and also getting paid disablitly check along with his senate pay! AND MCCAIN IS CONCERNED WITH THE AVERAGE AMERICAN? .....NOT!!!!
Bush had ROVE working for his campaign in 2000 and again 2004 and look where we are as a result of the ROVE TACTICS!! Remember how ROVE and gang attacked McCain in 2000 and Kerry in 2004? Again, sook where we find ourselves!!! NOW McCain has hired THE ROVE CLONE AND PROTEGE WHO IS USING THE SAME ROVE TACTICS USED IN THE BUSH CAMPAIGN. People, please let us not be brainwashed and tricked by those same Republican Rovean tactics AGAIN!! They tricked us once, shame on them, they tricked us twice, shame on them AND us; if we let them do it a third time, SHAM ON US!!
McCain also sold out the dineh Navajo tribe for the oil on their land, Black Mesa. he and his business cohorts chased and removed these people from their land and placed them in a swampy area contaminated by uranium silt. Over 2,500 members of this tribe have died in the last few years as a result of this contamination. The Dineh Navajo babies are being born with multiple deformities as a result of this contamination. And the animals they get keep dying. You see, McCain and his business cohorts stripped the Dineh Navajo of their because of the black gold (COAL) discovered there, so now Black Mesa is a mining site and McCain continues to receive big bucks from his business cohorts for his role in stripping these people from Blac Mesa. The Dineh Navajo refer to McCain's actions as GENOCIDE!! SO do I, and so do a lot of people who know about this travesty of justice on our native American citizens!!
All of McCain's ads are lies,what is new about that.
Maverick is an unbranded cow.
A Maverick is someone you can not brand or categorize, liable to say or do anything.
Maverick means unreliable, undependable and untrustworthy.
I'd say Bush was a maverick-never what you thought he'd be.
Now, McCain is calling himself a Maverick.
Is "Maverick" really what you want in a president?
anything to ensure Obama gets elected, eh? "that's true but" tells me it's true PERIOD
As usual, all Factchecks from Newsweek that attack McCain are on the front page of MSNBC. On the rare occasion that Newsweek "fact checks" Obama, MSNBC doesn't cover it at all.
Typical Newsweek/MSNBC liberal echco chamber crap. The fact that Obama can't pull ahead of McCain despite nonstop propoganda from the media is funny.
The fact that McCain has been proven a LIAR doesn't bother you in the least?
All the truth about Obama is on his web www.barackobama.com
Thank you so much for your good reporting. I find it interesting that the Federal Trade Commission requires that Preperation H tell the truth about its cure for hemmeroids, but that no one cares whether or not McCain tells the truth about Obama. It seems to me that a candidate who lies about his apponnent would also lie to the American public about how he feels about National Security, Energy policy, and who he was as a person
All these lies can be refuted on www.barackobama.com
Thank you for this. WE need this to be yelled fromt he treetops. I find it interesting that the Trade commision has truth in advertising and will fine a company for not telling the truth about hemeroid relief....but, when it comes to something like the ethics of the leader of this country....nobody....not even the mainstream press, bothers to call the McCain ads lies
If you think about it John McCain plan for forty-five new nuclear power plants is reasonable, needed and attainable. Our current 108 nuclear power plants supply twenty (20) percent of our electricity requirements. This is amazing considering that it has been thirty years since there has been new construction on new nuclear power plants anywhere in the United States. Construction on new nuclear power plants has occurred throughout the world but not in the United States thanks to Democratic leadership. In France, nuclear power supplies 80 percent of their electricity needs. Because 108 nuclear power plants are generating twenty percent of our needs, an additional 45 nuclear power plants will only increase the percentage of nuclear power to roughly 28 percent of our needs well short of French eighty percent nuclear power generation of electricity. John McCain proposals are reasonable and will help lead us to energy independence. Democrats under the leadership of Barack Obama want to study the issue for another 30 years. By that time the only remaining United States builder of nuclear power plants General Electric will have gone the way of Westinghouse and sold its nuclear construction division to a foreign owned company Toshiba Corporation of Japan. Given the Democratic led hostile business environment for nuclear power in the United States, we will have no United States owned companies capable of building nuclear power plants.
The reality is that one nuclear power plant will have a greater contribution to our energy independence than all the contributions of solar, wind, and thermal energy. Only the proposals of John McCain on nuclear power, offshore drilling, wind, and solar energy will make the idea of United States energy independence a reality.
While camping and attending a bluegrass music festival, I took a tour of Comanche Peak Power Plant,the last nuclear power plant built in the United States. The plant is unobtrusive and is at perfect harmony with its environment. It is located near Glen Rose Texas a beautiful area that has bluegrass band festivals in the summer. It is a wonderful scenic country area and home to Dinosaur World and a state park. There are dinosaur tracks from 100 million years ago that some say are heading in the direction of New York City. The Brazos river flows through and the place is an environmental heaven. There is old green Sinclair Oil Company dinasour statue that stands at the park. Ironically most of the stations and assets of Sinclair Oil Company was bought by Arco Oil Company and Arco was bought out later by foreign owned British Petroleum during the second administration of Bill Clinton. The point of this comment is that nuclear power plants can even be located next to wonderful wildlife and park areas and make good unobtrusive neighbors. Nuclear power is a friend of the environment and does not emit green house gases.
There are a few comments about nuclear power. However, where to build and safety are not the only issues.
Who???s going to pay for these plants? The cost of these plants is rising rapidly due to the high inflation for building materials. Are utilities willing to invest billions and are ratepayers willing to have the costs included in their electric rates? From U.S. New & World Report:
???A new study by Cambridge Energy Research Associates shows that the cost of new power plant construction in North America increased 27 percent in just the last year and is 130 percent higher than in 2000. A plant that would have cost $1 billion in 2000, in other words, would cost $2.31 billion today. Once new power plants get built, these huge and growing costs of construction surely will be passed along to ratepayers.
Here???s Florida Power on the cost in January.
FPL, based in Juno Beach, said recently that the "overnight cost" of its two-reactor project would range from $12 billion to $18 billion, more than twice as high as Progress Energy's December 2006 estimate. Overnight estimates exclude the interest paid on the loan and are based on commodity prices when the estimate is made.
What's more, Moody's Investors Service, one of three major rating agencies, said in October that new reactors would cost up to $6,000 per kilowatt of capacity to build. At that price, Progress Energy's two-reactor proposal would cost $13.2 billion. FPL's recent estimate was $3,100 to $4,500 a kilowatt.
Keep in mind that it takes decades to build a nuclear power plant, Comanche Peak Nuclear Generating Station in Texas began construction in 1974 and went on-line in 1990. Critics note that the Comanche Peak plant, the last nuclear facility built in the United States, took two decades to construct and cost about $11 billion, 12 times more than anticipated. That does not bode well for the estimated costs of building new plants.
Another issue is the lack of trained workers in the United States. We don???t have sufficient nuclear engineers or other skilled technical workers. We might be able to have a training program but where will a mass of newly training workers gain the necessary experience. Are we willing to import a large number of workers?
Why would we invest hundreds of billions building nuclear power plants instead of investing in new innovative technologies? Perhaps the answer comes from the lobbyists on McCain???s campaign and from the campaign contributions from the utility industry.
He has raised $558,365 from the electric utility industry, which includes the nuclear power industry. Fifty-nine energy lobbyists serve as staffers or fundraisers for McCain???s campaign

Thanks for posting the truth about McFudd's lies. The "media" has been remiss to do this during the last two election cycles and Americans have suffered as a result.
Mcain's distortions are typical of the Republicans deceitful campaigning in the last two elections. That these tactics succeeded in the past reveal the low intellectual level and intellectual laziness typical of Americans.
I mean, your commenting next to a frieken wind power ad. How stupid are you?
One guy that knows the trade mark of GOP is Karl Rove. He masterminded George Bush's transformation from boozing brat to national leader, and has been called the most powerful adviser in the White House. He was in charge $150m campaign to re-elect Bush.
Karl Rove concocted the defense of Bush Administration as American people were finding that politicians were directly involved in the disaster of Katrina, the immoral, disgraceful and unforgivably political nature of the Bush Administration???s handling of one the crisis.
Eight years ago this month, John McCain took the New Hampshire primary and was favored to win in South Carolina. Had he succeeded, he would likely have thwarted the presidential aspirations of George W. Bush and become the Republican nominee. But Bush strategist Karl Rove came to the rescue with a vicious smear tactic.
Now McCain has long ago embraced Karl Rove's smear tactics. Karl Rove not too long ago Rove announced that he had given $2300 to the presumptive GOP presidential nominee John McCain. Asked about the donation, McCain said he has "always respected Karl Rove as one of the smart great political minds I think in American politics," and specifically refused to condemn Rove's hyper-partisan campaign tactics (including his smears against McCain in the 2000 South Carolina race
But it is interesting to know that Karl Rove has high school diploma. His biography show that he had emersed himself and well versed in the tricks of president Nixon's administration
What a shame! The Mc Cain "campaign" consists of two things: (1) whining about Obama and (2) telling lies about him in campaign ads. What a truly sorry mess his campaign has made of things! Of course, they're doing this because McCain can't campaign on his record cause he's flip-flopped on it ever since he was in the primaries. Right now we can vote for Obama or we can vote for a ZERO! (And to think when the primaries started I was "undecided".)
