    Can't wait until 5 November when the bullshit will finally stop> How honorable would it be Mr. McCain if by some miracle you were to win and it was all due to lies and half-truths. Your number 1 strategy is fear. You claim to not be Mr. Bush, yet you try to get the support of the American people by scaring them with scenarios that you know in your heart are not true, just like he has done. What happened to your sense of integrety? As a retired military member, I am ashamed for you. Maybe you need to refresh your memory on the leadership traits and principles learned and embraced by all of us who were lucky enough to serve this great country of ours.

    To all the right wingers since you will take no responsability for the mess we are in or you are in denial that this country is in a recession, and that Bush and his fellow republicans have been the key culprits for this mess. Stay out of the way and allow Obama and fellow democrats to try to fix this floundering economy and get this great country back on track

    Keep copying and pasting that post brydges. Everyone understands you think O'bama is a Muslima and has all these middle eastern ties. You fit right into that "Maverick" category with your friend Palin....what a joke.

    WOW FINALLY NEWSWEEK HAS LOST ALL IT'S JOURNALISTIC INTEGRITY. EXPOSING REZKO AS A FRAUD BY THE AD, IS NOT TRUE? It's either the magazine has lost all touch with reality or just hiring journalists with equal experience to Obama.

    Such childishness in the comments, lol. The fact is that both candidates have ads that are VERY misleading about the opposing candidate, several in fact, and every intelligent person realizes that. It's commonly called 'politics'. If you're going to make a news story when someone presents a 'misleading' ad, then you should do likewise, and with equal "alarm", when either party does it. Otherwise, it's unbalanced, unfair, and hypocryitical.

    The McCain campaign continues to rewrite the definition of "irony". Sarah Palin is found guilty of abuse of power, is having her arrangement for bidding on a pipeline in her state investigated for stifling competition, and went on a shopping spree for clothes in which she spent more in a month than the average American makes in 3 years, and yet she and McCain are labeling Obama as unethical.

  • Posted By: spartan74 @ 10/28/2008 1:15:40 PM

    Amazing, McCain and Palin commit the offenses and then blame Obama. Palin: found guilty of unethical conduct and abuse of her office in troopergate, fraud and favoritism in awarding $40 billion dollar pipeline contract to lobbyist company. McCain: Says he's not Bush but voted for his policies 90% of the time: Liar! Wake Up People! You voted for Bush the two times and he's brought this country and the world to the brink of disaster. A vote for Mccain/Palin will finish the job. Vote for the truth, Vote for Obama!!

    Can you spell "I D I OT" ? Whats worse that telling someone to get the facts straight is that someone is this stupid to beleive everything McCain says. It is a fact that 100 percent of his campaign has been devoted to lies, negative campaigning,exaggeration. Your a moron if you think coming out with ad's comparing him to Brittany Spears and Paris Hilton is not a pathetic attempt at negative campaigning. To further this, if your a firm supporter of stupid people than the US could certainly do without you. If you hate Obama that much then leave you communist conservative terrorist. Is it not clear to you the rest of the US and the world view your ways as terrorism. McCain is more of a terrorist than Obama would ever be. WE WILL BRING VICTORY! KILL EM ALL. You idiots. Haven't travelled much have ya? Yee haw!

    Marxist is as Marxist does, The U.S.A. has been slouching toward socialism for decades now, Obama is it???s crown prince..

    From each according to his ability, to each according to his need has been the central theme of nearly every presidential, congressional and senate campaign since FDR.

    The only difference in Obama is that he is a global socialist, the others were national socialists; witness his campaign speeches in Europe and the middle east and endorsements from Marxist leaders throughout the global community.

    Yes, Obama believes that only the Federal Central Committee of the United States can ensure economic justice, make restution and reparation for perceived past inequities.
    That it can only be done in accordance and adherence to the over site of the United Nations Central Committee of the Global Community.

    That National sovernty is a crime, and Nationalism is an evil greater than racism is his core principal.

    The only reasonable conclusion of all this is that yes Obama is not just a Marxist but a global socialist bent on eradicating the supremacy of the U.S.A. by substituting organized community entitlements for the individual rights that made the United States of America the greatest nation in the history of earth.

      The greatest, youngest Nation that is about ready to fall flat on it face and to be invaded by its enemies. Beware of overconfidence!!

    NOWFORTHETRUTH - answer my questions: WHAT TOWN, STATE or BUSINESS HAS McCAIN RUN?
    BY YOUR DEFINITION THEN KENNEDY WAS A SOCIALIST, SO WHY CITE HIM?
    IF THE PAST 8 YEARS OF TAX CUTS HAVE WORKED SO WELL, WHY ARE WE IN A RECESSION?
    AND WHY THEN, WOULD YOU WANT TO CONTINUE THE BUSH/McCAIN TAX PLAN?
    WHY DON'T YOU STATE YOUR REAL NAME AND WHO YOU ARE WORKING FOR?

    Just imagine what the country would be like if the Bush republican had not stolen the election in 2000! (awfully coincidental that a Bush was governor of Florida at the time!). We would have had a rational response to 9/11, since Gore would not have needed to "show up" his Daddy and "finish business" in Iraq! We would also have had some regulations to prevent the credit meltdown, and we would be well on our way to energy independence with renewable energy and be working on global warming! Of course, Halliburton, Cheney, Rummy, Bush, and company would not be quite as rich.... Funny how things work out.

    More absolutely ridiculous mud slinging. But let's play along for a second. If John McCain believes these claims, if he's really that angry and concerned about Obama's "associations", then why hasn't he pushed for an investigation into Obama as a Senator? Barack Obama is a United States Senator, a peer to McCain. All of these false claims, exaggerations, and personal stabs are against a current elected official, not just a Presidential Nominee. If he's so concerned about corruption and fixing Washington, why hasn't he done this? We know why. Because he knows they are lies aimed at getting himself elected, no matter what the cost.

    At what point is the line crossed to libel and slander when a Presidential Nominee is lying to the public about another Presidential Nominee with hateful, personally and professionally harmful rhetoric? Are we still in the real world, or does the Election process live in some sort of vaccuum? Maybe instead of bitching over public vs private financing they should take a hard look at themselves and consider what they're doing is more harmful to the election process and Democracy as a whole.

    The fear tactic has consumed the past 8 years. The "you're either with us or against us" attitude is not just used for our international enemies, it's the philosophy of the Republican party as a whole. George Bush and his administration has divided this nation, we need somebody that will bring it together. Why would we think John McCain is the guy to do that when fear and division has been the entire strategy of his campaign ?

    i'm shocked! shocked i tell you! that newsweek is defending obama's earmarks...this from the folks who first annoited him the second Messiah...

  • Posted By: Palin who? @ 10/28/2008 12:54:33 PM

    Hotsummer, I absolutely agree with you but Bush approved the legislation to make the banks be able to lend to people who couldn't come close to affording it. And of course the banks (greedy bastards that they are) will push any type of loan out the door because they know their good ol' buddy is sitting in the whitehouse to help them in troubled times.

  • Posted By: KaK77 @ 10/28/2008 10:18:22 AM

    Nowforthe truth - I am sick and tired of paying for the mistakes that have been continously made over the last eight years because we have dealt with social "wag the dog issues" which have kept our attention focused on what the republican party has been doing ( or deregulating). This countries economic stability is in complete shambles because of the degredation of integrity the republican party has brought on to this country. SHAME ON YOU for having to manipulate facts to make some kind of point and shame on you for not having any integrity in who or WHAT you are supporting.

  • Posted By: Palin who? @ 10/28/2008 12:51:00 PM

    Another wonderful thing Bush is doing, he has asked the state of Ohio to withdraw 200,000 new voter registrations or change of addresses for no good reason. That crooked bastard is stopping democracy and taking away the right for American Citizens to vote. Now, I know one of you right wing nuts are going to fire back about the ridiculous claim of O'bama's ties to ACORN...so just save it, I've already heard that lie.

  • Posted By: hotsummer @ 10/28/2008 12:50:45 PM

    Twice I did not vote for President Bush, but he is our president, whether we like it or not. Let history be the judge if he did the right thing of invading Iraq. Regarding the subprime mortgagge fiasco, why blame the president for the mess. It is the carelessness and irresponsible attitude of the home buyers that led them to the situation they are in. Not to mention the greediness of the lending company.

  • Posted By: sheebe @ 10/28/2008 12:48:43 PM

    Some of you need to learn about Economics. And That the President cannot just cut a check. He needs the approval of Congress. They in turn vote and add pork for their personal and pet projects. Here we are fighting against Political figures. We have to live with each other. The ones that are the Government Officials, live among themselves. You think they care? Look at all the money they stole from US. Who voted yes on this bail out? Both of them did. No matter what color we all are. We are the ones that have been making this Country run. Besides the greed of our Wonderful Government. Just search and check out facts about each candidate. There are a lot of un biased articles on their views and what they want to do for our Country. Then make the decision. Instead of throwing points that a few of you are not accurate on. When one is mad and throwing their hatred at each other. It does not good in the end. Remember, the news, and this Liberal rag have been telling un truths, and have not been telling the truth. Do you think they care?

  • Posted By: tiredoflies @ 10/28/2008 12:48:29 PM

    It is fact that Palin fires anyone who does NOT kiss up to her and hires all her friends.

    Bush brought all his friends from Texas.

    McCain, beholden to Bush, has hired all his team.

    McCain and Palin are the only two in this race convicted with ethics violations.

    And in case you do not get it, that means McCain and Palin have been PROVEN to be dishonest and deceitful in performing their duties in government.

    THAT IS FACT.
