    McCain has not even managed his own campaign well. How can he manage this country, especially at this critical time? Every week McCain has a new campaign direction. He has spent weeks on this silly Ayers line of attack, which everyone who has above an 8th grade education knows is a lame attempt to make Obama into a suspcious untrustworthy character.

    McCain has performed poorly in the only executive position he has held - as manager of his own campaign. I agree with Colin Powell, that Obama would make a much better President.

    Those who believe that Powell's endorsement of Obama is race based, must also accept that McCain endorsements from White folks are also race based. In the alternative they may believe that White endorsements of White candidates are based on merit , Black endorsements of Black candidates are based on race, and that any person holding such a belief is a racist, whether self-recognized or not.

    i have a dream. that come november 4, senator mcbush and his rich bride(the attacking governor sarah) will regret all the negative and racial attacks aimed at dividing america in this campaign. do we call that good tactics? or they are just being stupid to neglet the major problems facing america today. it suprises me to see that there are up to 40% americans who still consider these hyprocrites. lets make a change in america. Go Obama-Go Biden

    Look for a repeat of the 2000 election, the GOP will play way dirty.

    I guess republicans do eat their young.......They are turning on each other faster than you can say GOP. I love it when the ones at the top leak information to bring their party down and so how disfunctional it is. McCain is losing in Florida because of his comments prior to and the last debate concerning the cuts he would make to Medicare, Medicaid, and Social security. That sent up a red warning flag to retirees across the country and especially Florida. The McCain campaign will be the worst run one in a long time and the lack of a clear stragedy along with an erratic policy changes is the root cause. Given this, their only option was to go negative all the time and you could tell McCain's heart wasn't in it. He did sit back for awhile and let his advisors attack Obama wioth smear, innuendo, and outright lies throwing his supporters into hate filled responses. McCain had a brief moment of clarity when he corrected the two in Minnesota. This was well after weeks of the crowds beening stoked. Instead of coming out and demanding his supporters stop these comments, he said nothing while his lip-sticked pig incited more hatred. All republicans should not hold John McCain totally responsible for their demise. Most of the blame rests solely at the feet of the Bush administration. Mccain failed to distance himself from them and his record of over 90% siding with Bush made it hard for him to do just that. The Florida GOP must realize that this is payback for stealing the 2000 election and running our country into the ground.

      what kind of falsehood is this? neither candidates speak anything substantially about medicare/medicaid. I think Obama has a better plan for the future if social security.

    The GOP should be angry at itself.

    They are no more conservative than Karl Marx. I remember when the Republican Party was kinder and actually cared about something other than making more money for the top 2% of the population. Before Phil Graham changed stripes (again) I worked on the Reagan/Bush/Graham campaign. That was about the last time the GOP had anything resembling a conscience.

    The so-called conservatives in office now have given us two wars we cannot afford, and it scares the heck out of me that Sarah Palin can sit down with Charlie Gibson on national television and, without blinking an eye, say that war with Russia is actually a possibility. And this while Dick Cheney pushes for Georgia to enter NATO. Although the defense contractors would dearly love it, the last thing we can afford, in any number of ways, is a war with Russia. Enough is enough!

    I don't know why the GOP is angry. They have done little or nothing to support McCain from the beginning. They made it very clear that he was not their candidate. They have sat back and let Obama steamroll over, lie, cheat and steal yet, they remain silent. So don't blame McCain. He's doing the best he can against all odds including his own party, the media and just about everyone else....

    Cancer (medical term: malignant neoplasm) is a class of diseases in which a group of cells display uncontrolled growth (division beyond the normal limits), invasion (intrusion on and destruction of adjacent tissues), and sometimes metastasis (spread to other locations in the body via lymph or blood). These three malignant properties of cancers differentiate them from benign tumors, which are self-limited, do not invade or metastasize. Most cancers form a tumor but some, like leukemia, do not. The branch of medicine concerned with the study, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cancer is oncology.

    Cancer may affect people at all ages, even fetuses, but the risk for most varieties increases with age.[1] Cancer causes <a href="http://www.cnaizheng.com/zl/azzl/ganai/Index.htm">??????</a> <a href="http://www.cnaizheng.com/zl/azzl/ganai/gazs/2007-09-01/7751.htm">??????</a>about 13% of all deaths.[2] According to the American Cancer Society, 7.6 million people died from cancer in the world during 2007.[3] Cancers can affect all animals.

    The nation was exposed to two brutal presidential campaigns from the GOP! Basically if you dont vote for the GOP you will be attacked, killed, murdered. Here comes the mushroom cloud, gas attacks and on and on.
    So this our center righ nation? A paralyzed culture in shock - frozen with such life-threatening policies. If we
    dont have wars such as Iraq we are not safe. Theres another word for this current culture- its fascism plain and simple! The GOP shouldn???t be running for yet another term they should be running to escape getting lynched!

    If McCain wins be prepared to grab your ankles...
    Democracy as we know it will slide into the ditch. We will continue our journey as "a police state" to the world. The middle class will continue losing its equity/education hence they will become third world citizens- another Mexico!

    With all the ringing endorsements from profound authors/writers, the nations newspapers, the U.S. military, Americas fireman and policemen it amazing to me that centrists/independents could even be thinking about the GOP party! The GOP has shown nothing but disdain, hate and fear. I could be writing these words about Bush or Mccain, the truth is- this message fits them both equally!

    A microcosm of McCain Arizona-
    near last in the union with health care...
    near dead last in public education...
    a right to work state- this means you are underpaid for your work and skill and you overpay for the bad quality of health care.
    Sound familiar?

    In 26 years of legislative work Mccain never once worked, sponsored or pushed for the science and or implementation of sustainable energy/solar even though Arizona has the most potential of any state in the union for such programs!
    He did bring gambling to the Nations/reservations of Arizona.
    McCain never met a war he didn???t vote for.
    Ugly, you darn right its ugly!

    Most firms pay no income taxes - Congress
    Study finds that the majority of domestic and foreign corporations in the United States avoid paying federal income taxes.
    NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Nearly two-thirds of U.S. companies and 68% of foreign corporations do not pay federal income taxes, according to a congressional report released Tuesday.
    The Government Accountability Office (GAO) examined samples of corporate tax returns filed between 1998 and 2005. In that time period, an annual average of 1.3 million U.S. companies and 39,000 foreign companies doing business in the United States paid no income taxes - despite having a combined $2.5 trillion in revenue.
    The study showed that 28% of foreign companies and 25% of U.S. corporations with more than $250 million in assets or $50 million in sales paid no federal income taxes in 2005. Those companies totaled a combined $372 billion in sales for the largest foreign companies and $1.1 trillion in revenue for the biggest U.S. companies.

    Every state's GOP should be furious with McCain. He is destroying the party!! Palin sickens me but McCain sickens me even more. He choose a person who is so lacking that I seriously doubt that the Republican party will ever allow another presidential candidate to make their own selection for Vice President. McCain's choices are so poor that they in and by themselves show McCain lacks creditable judgment. The McCain / Palin ticket have turned many republicans have away from the party!

    Ayres is a radical Marxist from the 60's who 's goal wast to bring all the violence around the world onto the American streets.
    Ayres thrives on violence, confusion and internal turmoil and needs a President in the Oval Office sympathetic to his radilce cause to permit him to take over a major political party in the USA, as he did the Students for a Democratic society in 1969.
    There is no mistake which political party he want's to grab for himself! It is the DNC!

    • Posted By: Cazador1972 @ 10/18/2008 10:30:12 PM


      ... And Walter Annenberg, a former ambassador under both Nixon and Reagan proposed Ayers to be on the same board along with other high profile republicans. See? This whole issue is garbage.

      Information must reverse when it passes through the border. RNC is the only party trying to commint ELECTION fraud. How is it done,.. challenge Democratic voters...how is that done...say it is due to ACORN and fraudulent voters registration that ACORN turned in. Not a single republican registration from ACORN was challenged.

      Consider the fact that, as the Brennan Center reported recently, "[E]lection officials across the country are routinely striking millions of voters from the rolls through a process that is shrouded in secrecy, prone to error, and vulnerable to manipulation." Consider the recent New York Times review of state records and Social Security records, which concluded that "[t]ens of thousands of eligible voters in at least six swing states have been removed from the rolls or have been blocked from registering in ways that appear to violate federal law." Consider the case, now on appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, in which 200,000 new Ohio voters stand to be bounced off the rolls because, through no fault of their own, their names don't match error-riddled state databases. Consider the indictment this week of former Republican official James Tobin for his 2002 role in jamming Democratic get-out-the-vote calls. Consider the much-ballyhooed Republican challenge to the eligibility of 6,000 Native American and student voters in Montana that backfired first in court, then with the abrupt resignation this week of the official who spearheaded the effort.

      The bottom line is that the republicans have STOPPED Democrats from voting and they find creative ways to do so in 2004 and came out smelling like a rose. Bush won by only 500 votes in FL and its probably the votes later found in the warehouse. After all of the static noise concerning ACORN in 2004 they found ONE person committed voter fraud. One the scale of fraud, RNC hid a warehouse of votes and DNC one voter. So the next time the RNC tells you to LOOK left, immediately LOOK right so you can see them in time as the sneak out the door with a box of votes.

    I live in Florida currently (temporarily for school) and I am truly amazed. I watch a couple of hours of TV per week and listen to the radio quite a bit more. I have YET to hear a McCain advertisement. I mean, for the few hours I do have the TV on, I probably have heard a hundred Obama ads. As an independent, and a person who said they would have voted for Hillary>>McCain>>>>Obama, I now find myself continuously arguing against McCain. I read at least four sources of news each day, to extract as much unbiased opinion as I can, but the intellectual side of me still probably doesn't compete with the glossy ads Obama has about how McCain would be a detriment to our future. And I know I am going to get lambasted for this statement, but the common Joe is a lot stupider and doesn't try that hard to ferret out the information about each candidate. So my point...why aren't there more ads here from McCain?? He's not even putting up a fight in Florida. Was I mistaken in thinking this was Republican country? Or is his party just assuming that the state that voted for (R) Christ was going to lean the same way? Maybe I am going into the wrong field, and I should think about politics and advertising. It seems obvious to me. Then again, I am obviously an "elitist"....
