Political Punch

All I remember was the time McCain and his fellow Republicans trying to have Clinton removed from office in 1998 - 1999 when the Senate trial removal and Impeachment process was in effect.

So for him to quote Clinton is like being more deseperation move.

I don't get how the RNC plays two face coins when it comes to real issues.

Instead of talking about issues, McCain and GOP are taking Clinton's recycled goods and trying to cheat to win.

No wonder many people donate to Sen. Obama.

Too much praising of the Republicans enemy will hit him in the end. Cause I thought Republicans and conservatives hate Hillary and Bill Clinton?

The Clintons are out, they better focus on issues that face Americans or prepare for a blow out.

Moron.

McCain doesn't know enough words to quote Clinton.

Would someone please define a "candidate of substance" for me? What would this candidate have on his resume? I want specifics, not that someone has spent x number of time in office, a maverick "brand," etc.

What would like to see Obama display or express that would indicate "substance?"

Once again. Anyone who says he/she would've voted for Clinton and not Obama based on a charge of "inexperience" is not being true to him or herself.

See my earlier post on how much legislative experience Barack has over Hillary. He's been legislating at the State and Federal level since 1997, Hillary since 2001.

Who really has more experience representing voting populations - NOT Hillary.

Just say you don't want to vote for Barack but don't throw out statements as fact based on inexperience when they are NOT FACTUAL.

This all goes on too mercilessly long. We need to have a parliamentary system where you get 45 days to make your case and then comes the vote.

Similar to the substance of your complaint about his flip flopping? Are you serious?

Have you been paying attention to the two campaigns at all? Mac doesn't go for a day without reversing his stance on something. Sometimes he does it twice in a week! And you say Obama is a flip-flopper? You can't be serious.

The same old tired complaint that's been a GOP talking point for months now. The reasons against Obama presented by re-thug-licans are starting to sound like the same broken record that their candidate has been playing.

Come back to play again when you can think for yourself and don't have to parrot the GOP/Fox talking points...

It is pathetic to see McCain using Rove's help to attack Obama. Didn't Rove dirty tactics hurt McCain's chances to become the Republican nominee in the 2004? I thought McCain had more pride, but I think he doesn't care as long as he wins. Do we really know who John McCain really is? He has changed his positions on every issue. Where is the old John McCain? I love how everybody keeps insisting McCain's experience. Sure, the experience of Cheney, Rumsfeld, Bush and MaCain combined brought americans an unjustified war, econimic disaster, unemployment, a terrible standing in the world. They can stick the experience wherever they want. Judgment is what they lack.

I'm an independent voter. I don't really like political parties D or R. I always vote for the best canditates that the election offers. I would vote for Clinton, but no Obama, no way. Simply inexperienced. He needs big arena with big staging like rock star. I'm laughing at all the people throwing money for that for nothing. They should save the money for sensible things like helping disabled than an Italian arena. It doesn't even look American. Lousy taste.

McCain is the BEST choice for 2008.

VOTE McCain 2008

It's plagarism, I thought it was a crime

Actually.... the Democrats have controlled congress for the last year or so.......

Obama has flipped flopped on just about everything. He's great at making speeches but there isn't too much substance.

It's absolutely pathetic the J-Mc's campaign has to hijack speeches from the opposing candidates convention. Mc's campaign has shown not one shred of originality, decency or honor. It has been nothing more than the "me too, but..." campaign.

And to top it all off, he's supposed to by launching a major offensive via new ads in battleground states tonight while Obama is accepting the Dem nomination. Never before in history has a candidate for the oval office been so overwhelmingly petulant, yet claimed to be the only one with honor. Mc is a joke and a shell of his former self whose only answer to questions is "P.O.W."

Hear, hear! Exactly, Ben! I wish the Obama campaign would put that into an ad. Add up all the years of experience that GW, Cheney, and Rumsfeld have and what do you have? The answer is: a disaster! It's disgraceful and disgusting what they have done to bring down this country. The Hillary supporters who are turning to McCain are delusional. It's time to let go of egos and do what is right for the country and for the future of our children and grandchildren.

These so called "Hill supporter for mcCain" are hillarious! if they were true Hillary supporters, they would run as far away from mcCain as possible, because the ideologies are polar opposites.

To those who are trashing Obama for his purpoted lack of experience, look what Bush/Cheney (people with experience) did to the country! So the bottom line is that experience is total BS. Common sense and surrounding oneself with good people is what is important.

McCain has so many years of experience, yet has not one original idea for campaigns!!!

Lieberman is the only person of equal weight to Biden. Romney is however the pick of the McCain handlers. Bush and McCain are surrogates for the corporate interests that are presently running this country.

Obama would offer some fresh change in leadership. A president who is his own man. At least with Obama you know what you are getting. With McCain, like Bush he'll do what he is told. He is already doing that.

When you are used to distorting the truth you can see anything you want. McCain looks into the mirror and sees someone fit to be president. Never mind that you have to be in touch in order to be fit.

If McCain saw Clinton as advocating him then he is surely out of touch.

Clinton was bringing up parallels between 1992 and 2008, between himself and Obama and their respective battles against the Republican opponent. This Candidate X & Y thing is a non-issue, taken out of context - so typical, I might add of the press corps. Clinton's own words in his speech last night should clarify things for all of you - Obama is ready to lead:

"My fellow Democrats, sixteen years ago, you gave me the profound honor to lead our party to victory and to lead our nation to a new era of peace and broadly shared prosperity.

Together, we prevailed in a campaign in which the Republicans said I was too young and too inexperienced to be Commander-in-Chief. Sound familiar? It didn't work in 1992, because we were on the right side of history. And it won't work in 2008, because Barack Obama is on the right side of history."

Since 2001, the Republicans controlled
congress and the White House and have set records in government spending and
growing the public debt. McCain has talked a lot government spending but he was unable to lead his own party to
fiscally resposnible budget.

Is that "effective" ?

I read that included in the republican party platform is provision to continue the abusive expansion of executive power used by the Bush administration to lie to us, cover up, and avoid penalty for their misdeeds. If McCain were truly a maverick he would not have allowed this to be included. Instead, as always, he has sided with the Bush, Cheney and Rove machine.
