Young people had better study the issues and get out thee to vote. John McCain has nothing in his head but war.
You can bet you'll see a pseudo draft if he wins. It will be one so cleverly designed,probably by Carl Rove and the whiny man Graham, that only low wage,middle class young men's shirts will hang on the fence. Republican
deferments will be easily come by but the young men bearing the brunt will be devastating.This grandma would march with the thoughts of Clinton, You can't go around the world killing everybody who hates us. We had all better be finding new ways to get along than war unless attacked! McCain is a devastating choice.

McCain, "I am questioning his judgment." I don't think McCain wants to go there. McCain was pushing for the Iraq war even before Bush. He had terrible judgment. All the Obama campaign needs to do is put together an ad with all the video of McCain pushing for the Iraq war, including linking the anthrax attack to Iraq.
What is worse, pushing for an unnecessary war or pushing for a surge after the mess was already created?
And when McCain says he puts his country first, he infers that Obama doesn't. That is dishonorable. And this whole thing about ambition is laughable when it was McCain who admitted that his run for the Presidency in 2000 was all about ambition.

Who cares how many homes John McCain owns? How many does Ted Kennedy, John (Teresa Heinz) Kerry and Nancy Pelosi own?
Poor Obama - he owns a house that he got in a shady land deal with Tony Rezko. Will he pardon his friend if he becomes president?

HotonTopeka.....re: McCain, "doesn't care enough about real Americans to bother with us". You must not be listening..OHB is as phony as a $3 bill.
Maybe if he said what he really wanted to to us we would be scared out of our wits. He won't be challenged on anything and don't question my wife. Remember a liar has a BAD memory. Also, in the US of A you cannot get a Passport without a "Certified Birth Certificate". HUM.....

Scared of Obama -- yes. But not because he is black or because of his middle name. That's what he would like us to believe because he is a racist.
It is because of his association with those who hate America - Ayers and Wright.
It is because he wants the USA to become a Socialist country.
It is because he believes in late term abortion and leaving babies to die who survive these abortions.
He is naive and inexperienced. He thinks you just "ask" terriosts to play nice and they will.

Sen. John McCain in an interview Wednesday didn't know how many houses he and his wife, Cindy, own....
What DOES this man know?

Obama out spends McCain 5 to 3...... And he can't close the deal. He couldn't with Hillary, so why would Howard and Nancy think he could with McCain? Forget about what the people want, it's Howard and Nancy that matter. Wonder if Obama will pick Chett Edwards to make Nancy happy?

Debra: Thank God?
Republicans should read the Bible for a change, especially the Gospels. There's nothing in there that does approve of lying. There's nothing in there that does approve of hating.

The problem with McCain is that he talks down to people. He is condescending, self-righteous and sanctimonious. I admit he's good at sucking up to people in the press, but he just doesn't care enough about real Americans to bother with us.

"The overuse of they will make you scared of me"
I think he's said it twice. On noes!

Barack Obama,
If you want to win, and save this country from John "Hot Head" McCain, you need to confront hi. Every day. Every speech.
George Bush divided and harmed this country by starting this unnecessary war in Iraq. John McCain was there at every step encouraging America to go to war. After all, you should never talk with your enemies, right?
If you listen to what McCain is saying about Georgia, it is clear that we would be in military conflict with Russia if he were president., and we would definitely be at war with bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran!
How does endless war help us educate our children ? How does endless war help us prepare to compete economically with China? How is endless war going to boost stagnant wages for middle class Americans?

" I guarantee he will have more negative ads against McCain than the other way around."
He got a long way to go to catch up.
"Thank God there are still at least 4 NEGATIVE Obama books out there and one is a #1 Bestseller with another one hot on it's heels."
If you think any God in this world supports the republicans, then you are sorely mistaken. I'm pretty sure God doesn't support lying and cheating your way into power.

Yeah Obama knows how to take things too far till people get sick of it. The overuse of they will make you scared of me overused people are sick of it. Him saying same old washington poltics(while practicing old politics) is getting tired. Now this dragging out who his vp is until friday or sat, is getting tired.
Posted by: rachel | Aug 21, 2008 7:58:18 AM
Will you please consider offering something on your political news website other than obama's focus on a VP. There must be some other news. These have been on four days and there are four or five of them.

Have you noticed that the paid republicans are in panic mode?
They come out in larder numbers with the same old Republican soap opera.
It's childish. I should assure you that the voters have grown up. The republican party should too.

SO make the announcement already. I cannot be the only person in the US who is getting more than a little tired of the tease. At one point does this middle-school-like "I've got a secret but I'm not telling you" mentality start to seriously annoy people? I think the whole tease gambit is starting to become a negative, instead of building anticipation.

Obama is a disgrace to the Demorcratic Party.
Oh wait he ripped it apart and made a new one. The Democratic Socialist Party.

Hello Scott, yeah, go Obama! go Williams Ayers!!!

=McCain voted against Reagan when we had soldiers in Lebanon and Reagan wanted them to stay there for 18 more months and McCain voted against it....terriorist bomb blew up the barracks and I think 250 of our soldiers died. He's not McWar he's McCounty...this guy knows what he's talking about regarding National Security and I want him at the helm. CNN mentioned today talks with Iran about our troops starting to come home next June and all out by 2011. So who will this help in the election? Just curious.
HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN!

Why isn't the McCain agreeing that we need a draft getting more play? I know the question was a little long but he agrees with the lady's statement that "if we don't have a draft, we won't get Bin Ladden".
If he can't follow a long winded question, how can he focus on policy? Or, does he want a draft to feed his ego wars?
