No Prize to the Noble Loser

An interesting trend is to read the comments on these sort of articles and youtube videos. There is an incredible support for Obama. (this comment being one of them!)

A teacher in Elmira , New York , who is a McCain supporter, asked her 4th grade class, "How many of you are McCain fans?" Not really knowing what a McCain fan is, but wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the kids raised their hands, except for Little Johnny. The teacher asked Little Johnny why he has decided to be different.

Little Johnny said, "Because I'm not a McCain fan." The teacher asked, "Why aren't you a McCain fan?" Johnny said, "Because I'm a Democrat. "The teacher asked him why he's a Democrat. Little Johnny answered, "Well, my Mom's a Democrat and my Dad's a Democrat, so I'm a Democrat." Annoyed by this answer, the teacher asked, "If your mom was a moron and your dad was an idiot, what would that make you?" With a big smile, Little Johnny replied, "That would make me a McCain fan."

I believe that the public has shown that we much prefer Obama's campaign. Barack Obama has continued to be calm, collected, honest, and knowledgeable - shall I go on? He has continued to talk about the issues while McCain's campaign has continued the mud-slinging and smear campaign. McCain has become a grumpy, dottering old man with his little attack dog Palin by his side. I believe Sarah's drool has clouded her already clouded brain. I'll take Barack's CHANGE CAMPAIGN any day over McCain & Palin's dodging the issuing and smear tactics.

Let's see, he campaigns just like Rove, uses his tactics, lies and distorts the truth. Hum, what the hell else are we supposed to think? He's Rove Jr.

watching these post degenerate over the last few weeks has been lock step with Mr. Mccain's slow slide.. sorry gop supporters try to take the next 4 1/2 years in stride huh

HolyRoller, JoseMarti and similar posters: Do me, yourself and the GOP Party a favor: Put just half the effort that you put into bashing Obama and the Democrats into praising the real values of the Republican Party and it's ticket if you want to get McCain elected. All of this peurile and acrimonious name calling, smearing and outright antagonization is not helping our cause, makes the conservative base look childish, unintelligent, frightened and self serving. It turns off Independent voters and so basically serves the Dem's interests.

Now we know who the person is behind the "madness" ....Schmidt may have got away with the previous elections, but not this one...It's an uphill battle that cannot excuse the failures already with the McCain camp , the false ads and McCains zero dignity. You cannot repair these open wounds.... It's all clear that all of you will do 'anything' to win this election - even if it costs your soul.

Thank you for this article. I am an Obama supporter and there is a tendency to forget that real human beings are on all sides. I voted for President Bush in 2000 and 2004 on idealogy but this time I'm voting purely on issues. I admire Senator McCain but the "maverick" title ceased reigning true when he selected the political team that smeared him in 2000 and picked probably the least qualified Republican in the country for VP. I, along with many others believe that had he run the campaign he ran in 2000, he would probably be ahead because of lingering questions about Senator Obama. I hope there are others on Senator McCain's team who are taking stock and rethinking some of their tactics but in the event there are not, it's nice to read another side of Steve Schmidt.

Imagine you bein a person of color in the 50's and 60's and being asked to wait for your rigths? Could you have waited? It was not by the GOP that blacks got their rights, How patriotic of Mr.Schmidt, to tell gays to wait, how can you be a gay Republican when your own party is trying to destroy every thing you stand for? As evidence of the Raging bigotry of most of the GOP (Mr.Schmidt ) Hep Karl Rove use gays as a wedge in the last election, and the hateful speeches of Sarah Palin are nothing new, same tactics use in 2004, And we are supposed to trust these people , the ones that gave us W? cHENEY? tOM dELAY, nEWT? please, go sell your crazies someplace else.lastlast election.

Imagine if you were a black person in the 5o's and 60's and you had to wait for your rights? How deceitful and cowardly to ask gay supporters to wait, Don't gay republicans get it that their party wants none of them? That party is as we can clearly see from the event of McCain with all the hateful and way false advertising that Schmidt,Rove,Palin, Cheney and their like are killing the GOP, THE PARTY OF LINCOLN, HOW PATHETIC AND SAD.

I would question the right of anyone to distort facts (or engage in Perception Management)
to the detriment of the United States of America and it's citizens - as well as bringing harm
to the World. Winning is not an option in the path to becomming the President of the USA.
Qualifications - current qualifications shaped by experience and manifested by judgment -
are.

I should have clarified my point: like we should believe anything she says about Schmidt -- because all she's trying to do is absolve McCain from any wrong-doing and obvious hate-mongering he has APPROVED in this election. She's trying to give him an out... poor McCain. Perhaps she really misses that tire swing?

Barf. This reporter, one Holly Bailey, once spent an afternoon drinking white wine and swinging on a tire (then falling off visibly drunk) at McCain's Sedona ranch. Yeah, like we should believe anything she says about the GOP slimer's campaign.
