The Smear Gap

McCain relates to us white blue collar workers. we must leave the tax cuts the same. we must stay in iraq to show our military might. the middle class is more ethnic groups who want to be like us but can't. we must wake up and understand that as much as Obama wants to help the middle class, they are not us. Obama is not us. I support holy roller and what he has to say. remember, you will always find a white person who will say they will vote for Obama, but they won't. whites do not like blacks and thats that.

It is absolutely amazing how divided the people of this country can be about an overgrown popularity contest. The Holy roller right wing fanatics are on one side and the bleeding heart nut jobs are on the other. It's a wonder the rest of the world doesn't declare us all insane and block the borders so we can't get out. In all the hullabaloo, you have all missed the most blatant truth of all - Neither BHO or MCC is qualified to lead this country out of the quagmire of mistrust, lies and deceit that GWB has gotten us into. This is not a republican or democrat thing, it's an AMERICAN thing. Call yourselves Republican or Democrat - you can't stand up, say something is wrong with BOTH of these clowns and demand two candidates that are qualified to lead our country back to the high status we once held among the international community, as well as take care of our own citizens in a humane, ethical way. I for one will go to the polls in November and, using a Sharpie if I have to, write a name on the ballot, and it will not count towards either BHO or MCC. Who cares how either voted on an abortion bill (just an example, there are many other issies that this goes towards) - because if either one did not abstain, then they don't believe in (or understand) the constitution. The constitution gave the STATES the authority to legislate these matters specifically to keep the federal government.out of our personal business. Both of these men are guilty of lies to the public, both are guilty of flip-flopping on policy. So, step back, set your loyalties aside for a few moments and really LOOK at these two men and ask yourselves what you really see. The really intelligent ones among us - the leaders rather than followers - will see the truth and maybe enough of us will stand up and say "hey, wait a minute..." and be heard.

Barack Obama???s campaign continued to hit John McCain on his failure to answer a question on the number of homes he owns with a new ad Thursday, as the presumptive Democratic nominee hammered the same point on the campaign trail in Virginia and the McCain camp battled back.

???Somebody asked John McCain, 'how many houses do you have?' and he said, 'I'm not sure, I???ll have to check with my staff,'??? said Obama at a Thursday morning campaign stop. ???True quote! 'I'm not sure, I'll have to check with my staff.' So they asked his staff and he said, 'at least four.' 'At least four.'

???Now think about that ??? I guess if you think that being rich means you gotta make five million dollars, and if you don't know how many houses you have, then it's not surprising that you might think the economy is fundamentally strong,??? he continued. ???But if you're like me and you've got one house ??? or you were like the millions of people who are struggling right now to keep up with their mortgage so that they don't lose their home ??? you might have a different perspective. ???

He also said that there was a ???fundamental gap of understanding??? between McCain???s world and ???what people are going thru every single day here in America.???

Weathervane McCain???s ability to come unglued at inopportune times and even on people he espouses to love and cherish. In this case, he got highly peeved at Cindy, his wife. This excerpt is from a soon to be published book by Cliff Schecter:

Three reporters from Arizona, on the condition of anonymity, also let me in on another incident involving McCain???s intemperateness. In his 1992 Senate bid, McCain was joined on the campaign trail by his wife, Cindy, as well as campaign aide Doug Cole and consultant Wes Gullett. At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain???s hair and said, ???You???re getting a little thin up there.??? 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.

Sounds like McCain has some serious anger management issues.

McCain was at the bottom of the list in the Navy. He was given a political position, never worked to get it. He has all kinds of money to spend on anything he wants and what he wants is more power and no responsibility. If he were a responsible steward of authority, he would have been campaigning non stop since he secured the nomination, but what's he been doing? Nothing. Wait, he's been doing something... he's been cheesing and smiling thinking he was a shoo in for the POTUS. Man you are crazy to want to vote for McCain. He doesn't have any military experience other than being shot down but a pop gun.

And as McCain takes the lead in today's polls for the first time, I quote to the disgusting core of Obama supporters who took the "high road" so dear to them and polluted the blogs with Hillary is a Bitch and McCain is an old degenerate idiocies,the words of Obama's inspiration, the Rev Wright: Your chickens are coming home to roost and that rough sound that you hear is the Fat Lady clearing her throat in honor of your messiah's candidacy.

Everyone that says they are the all american will have a different opinion when November comes and goes. Many people talk about how patriotic they are and this and that about how they love their country. If Obama is elected President, they will just assume pack their bags as they will more than likely feel that they have been betrayed and that America is not America anymore. It won't surprise me one bit. But if they do think like that then they can go back to England or Ireland or where ever their ancestors came from, no skin off my back. I have had to sit through GW and Ronnie that stomped on my rights for too long. Obama will bring true perspective of equality to the U.S. This election is too much for youse. Stay on the porch.

jonny how about this?

"Obama camp links McCain to Abramoff scandal"

This from the above the fray candidate who claims judgment, honor and integrity. No old Washington?

HolyRoller, you want to cite the National Review as source?!! That publication is clearly biased, it's affiliated with the Repuplican party, and was started by a repuplican/conservative commentator. At least Newsweek is fair and balanced and has this article PLUS a main cover story about "What Bush Got Right" and another story called "[Obama] Distorting McCain's Remarks." It's just that people like you place a higher priority on distorting the truth to continue living in your own close-minded world.

I guess that's why McCain's wholly untrue attack ads appeal to these types of people...they're too lazy or dumb to check the veracity of the facts. The ads appeal to the lowest common denominator and that's what these people are. They believe what their neighbor says or the email in their inbox. Try reading a book now and then or doing some objective research, maybe, I don't know, instead of using valuable time to come up with hateful acronyms and nicknames for people who don't agree with you, such as 'RINO' = republican in name only, 'NoBama,' or 'Hussein' instead of Obama. Classless and hateful...

In 1995, McCain sent birthday regards, and regrets for not attending, to Joseph "Joe Bananas" Bonano, the head of the New York Bonano crime family, who had retired to Arizona. Another politician to send regrets was Governor Fife Symington, who has since been kicked out of office and convicted of 7 felonies relating to fraud and extortion.
