Instead of blaming the Republicans or Democrates why don't we really put the blame where it REALLY BELONGS on the American people shoulders for we vote in the people. Lets put a limit on how long the senators can stay in office just like the president (HE CAN ONLY STAY IN FOR 8 YEARS). How many people have been in the house or senate for more than 8 years and still has not done good for the poeple or the country. But they are all rich without helping the american people. LETS SET A LIMIT OF 8 YEARS FOR THEM JUST LIKE THE PRESIDENT.

McCain show the American public you have no ties with the Bush administration and how you plan to get this country back on track. Can you really fire the Good OLD Boys you have been associated with for the past 26 years? If you were a true leader, you would lay out your plan for getting this country united instead of spending money on material that lack substance. I have yet to see any leadership abilities:

John McCain is simply trying to fill his daddy's little boy done good complex. please have we not spent the last 8 years with a fool how has been trying to do that. McCain says he is a proven commander and chief but i could not make it in the Navy and his father was a Admiral in charge of operations in Vietnam but his son got shot down twice, held captive and made statments condeming the actions of his beloved goverment .he then walked away from his Navy claim a conflict of princible. but now he back sending today solder off to fight a war on FALSE CHARGES that no one has ever been held accountable for "MR VICE PRESIDENT" PLEASE I HOPE THAT WE CAN GET PAST THE BULL AND SEE THE TRUE CHANGE. " VOTE OBAMA VOTE OBAMA

Why don't we demand next time that all political ads from whomever ,have to pass a litmus test and that no ad that is not speaking the truth be allowed on the air. Futhermore there should be a large fine given to whomever authors the ad...no exceptions. The fine money should go to the opposite party, the party who has been slanderd.
Why is this so difficult? Do the ads actually work? The campaigns have to be held responsible for what they say....It's too late this year but I will push for ad reform starting Nov. 5th. Anyone wish to join us? dgg

Agreed Moscow traveler. Let's talk about Hussein Obama's plan to reverse Bush tax cuts. For lower earners ($30M single; $60M married) it's a 84% increase. Bush put more $ in our pockets than any Pres in 40 yrs. Calculate the savings when your mortgage went from 81/2% to 5%, then add up your annual savings with his tax cuts X 8 yrs. EVERYONE saved, & he helped the lower earners the most! Where's fact check???

in the last 30 years republicans have had the white house for 20. in the last 56 years the repulicans have had the white house for 36. 66.6 percent in the last 30. 64 percent of the last 56. Yet every 4 years they blame everything that goes wrong on the democrats. seems to me they must be quite ineffectual or incompetant. a mccain presidency will be a repeat of the last 8. obama has sparked hope and unity amoung those of us willing to listen to him. he has called for sacrifice and responsibility from us. on the other hand a mccain or palin rally attacks obama and encites anger and hate. i'm 56, white, have worked hard all my life, and have been self employed for about 20 years. i've put 3 children through college and consider myself very fortunate.

There go the neocons throwing the welfare term out there again. Hey radar and the other ignorant necocons out there - why don't you just say what you mean? "The terrorist black man will take money from the hard working white people (not all just Neocons) and give it to the black/brown people who sit at home waiting for more government handouts." Though many experts refuted the welfare claim, the ignorant still spout the same drivel heard at McKKKain rallies. Like the article stated, when McCain gives back - its reform, when Obama does it - its welfare. Heaven forbid, McShame gets elected, the country should be renamed the Divided States of America. Patriot vs. Terrorist; Maverick vs. Socialist; Real American vs. Un-American. You'd have to be blind, deaf and dumb not to see that the GOP campaign is run on lies, misconceptions and fear-mongering. McShame doesn???t even discuss his policies anymore ??? just spouting divisive terms and dragging that ???loser??? Joe the (not a) Plumber around like an abandoned dog. Like the saying goes ??? ???You reap what you sow.??? If we haven???t learned anything from the last 8 years, then we get what we deserve.

Again WOW, Klz125 sure can sling the "hate" stuff around ,good thing the wind is blowing from your back as it seems that none of it flies to the left. peaceout

I watched Mike Huckabee's show tonight (yes, on Fox) and he explains things in such a way that neither of the candidates have done thus far. Why oh why couldn't Huckabee have been running for President? Maybe in 2012?

Ethics in campaigning is only foreshadow of the ethics that can be expected by the winner???s administration. Misrepresentation of the truth, in the form of logical fallacies and outright lies about the opponent's plans or past actions, is a tactic being used to win en election, but more importantly, are being used on us, as Americans. We are the ones that will suffer by succumbing to distortions, because that behavior will persist another four years, perhaps more.
Unfortunately, both parties are guilty of ethical lapses as a method of winning. Can anyone assure Americans that we won???t be lied to more once either of them are in office? I believe our duty is to hold candidates accountable for honest campaigning. Any amount of dirty campaigning should be viewed as grounds for losing their constituents. After all, they are lying to ALL OF US!
