McCain/Palin

They are really dispicasble as they incite fear, rage,and hate across the country at their rallies. The T.V. ads, the flyers, and the T.V. ads by the Republican National Committee and Let Freedom Ring ought to have been banned by the T.V> networks. They have "way crossed the lines of acceptable campaigning. The latest rant about a Paslestian professor at Columbia University and the insidious LeT Freedom Ring T.V. ad about Barack's re;ltionship with children is slanderous and they should be sues along with CNN for running the ads!!!!!The air is thick with Karl Rove nastiness here in PA!!!!!!

Clawing their way to the White House

McCain/Palin will claw their way to the White House, they will do/say just about anything. It deems very personal for them -- when it should be about the Country and it's people.

I am sick and tired of their faces - it is so FAKE.

Negative ads are common for Republicans

We expected and knew this would happen but not to the extent that McCain and Palin are rsponsible for...encouraging crowds by using dangerous rhetoric and inciting them. I was shocked to see McCain encouraging the crowd to call Obama a Terrorist and worst---Palin encouraging and laughing with the crowd when they started yelling "Kill him, Kill him!" That is going too far. These swift boat tacitcs are obviously ones used by Karl Rove and for McCain, who promised a clean campaign, this is abominable and inexcusable. If McCain loses the race he will have no one else to blame but himself and the pit bull he hired and trained. The damage he has done, he will not be able to erase in the next 24 days. What a shame.

Obama

Some may he is desirous of improving the socio-economic life of all Americans but some of us view him as a rebel rouser activest bent on creating a sociaty controled by a socialist goverment that will be doomed to fail as all other socialist governments have.

McCain needs to lose with honor

McCain, the man who said he would not take the low road to the highest office in the land is now running a 100% negative campaign. He cannot win on the issues so all he has left is swiftboat tactics and smear campaigning. Pitbull Palin is holding events that look and sound like Klan rallys calling Obama a terrorist and the lynch mob calling to kill him.

Senator McCain

Do you really know the other Obama?The question posed by

McCain is double loaded.if I can volunteer an answerObama

Seems to me as a new political

material desirous of improving

the socio-economic life of all

Americans.His life from the

Streets of Chicaco as a social

worker to the U.S.Senate is a

case in point.His cool demeanor even under attack and

his unassuming disposition speaks volumes of his leadeship preparation.

With the world in turmoil

Economically and politically

the need for America to lead

the free world is more urgent

than ever before.Obama is capable of providing a compassionate leadership with

a steady hand on the atomic

button at these uncertain times.

McCain, negative ads

John McCain said early in the campaign that negative ads and personal attacks would not be tolerated. Now he and his bimbo running mate re doing just the opposite. Palin earlier this week incited crowds to yell "terrorist and "kill him" directed at Obama. And, being the honorable man he claims to be, by his silence endorsed the attacks. I've lost all respect for this man. By the way, he says he knows how to win in Iraq. What's he waiting for?

McCain's 'Cheating'

For anyone to bring up McCain's cheating in light of the last Democratic Administration is plain stupidity.DID YOU EVER HEAR OF MONICA LEWINSKY??? Get over it.Unlike Bubba,McCain admitted he made mistakes in his first marrige.He also never lied to a federal grand jury about it.Are you just stupid or are you really comparing someone who tells the truth about his past to someone who lies about his boyhood religion,his assiciates,both past and present and about a McCain presidency being just a third Bush term.Last time I looked Bush's name was not on the ballot.I'll take someone who's made mistakes and admitted them over someone who takes great pains to lie about,obscure and obviate his past any day!

Negative ads

I McCain to be a good guy. No more! McSame is by far the worst liar who has run for president in my 75+ years. Just when I thought that Bush had taken the GOP to the lowest level possible, McCain and Palin have taken it much lower. The former media darling has messed up so badly that Fox is now the only network he's not mad at because they're the only one that will stoop so low as to pretend that his lies are the truth.

it doesn't matter

to me, McCain is or will put negative ads about Obama. it won't change my mind of voting Obama in November.

McCain is ok but since all know that McCain is a lier. it show his supporters are liers also since they don't speak reasonable. think of the trouble economy. try to do something better than making smear attacks or more lies.

how pathetic. I somehow pitty McCain's campaign.
