McCain-Backing GOP Senator: Obama Did Not Play the Race Card

McCain has indicated the direction in which he will take America would he become president:

1. He is willing to give the oil industry more latitude to bilk us out of more money by continuing to grant tax breaks to them.

2. He lies at the drop of a hat - what wars has he won. Better yet, what war has he been in that we have won? He divorced his wife; a woman that stood by his carcass when no one knew whether he was ever going to walk out of Viet Nam. He has called his current wife a cu^t in front of a group of reporters. He is for perpetuating the ideas of Bush when it comes to economics, women, and repsect for the Law.

3. His economic advisor (Gramm, the former of Florida) called the people of America (the working class) a bunch of whiners who are mentally delusional with regard to the state of the economy.

4. He laughs like 'Chuckie' at the ads that his campaign has issued for our amusement. Ads that are childish and can only appeal to those who are mentally challenged to the point that they, the viewer, see substance in the ridiculous.

If McCain is your guy and you see truth in these ads, a solution in his rhetoric, then you are about to be 'Bushed' for an additional four years on top of the eight that you so ardently supported before.

As the story goes... Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, damn, but I am stupid... voting for McCain, you will be fooled thrice!

I am an -ex-marine and more patriotic than MccAIN in that I have fought more wars than MCain. I have served more years in the military than McCAIN. But it sounds ridiculous to hear McCAIN TAlKING about how he knows how to win wars but failed to mention one that he had ever won! I am a republican but I will never sell out my country to McCAIN. McCain is too risky to lead a country. Besides, I am flabbergasted to see the amount of MCcAIN PAID SUPPORTERS IN every web news who keeps arguing among themselves, changing their names and logging on and off with different unaccountable names fighting to dominate the sites with misrepresented information, news; attacking Obama and his supporters in evry corner and even attacking themselves. mCCain Supporters who are on weekly wages are unpatriotic and doll-eyed fools who for money can do anything just as their lord and master who ditched his first wife for a woman with money! With all his negative ads, MCcain has still not tell the public: (1) what qualifies him to be elected as President; (2) What wars he has ever won that he claimed to be a better commander-in-chief; (3) how many wars has he ever fought? (4) what does he have to say about trust, if he dared to ditch his faithful wife, will he ever be faithful to our nation? People, read the facts and do not be deceived by negative ads that conceal the true nature of its inventors. More than 2500 ex-marines and about 3000 marines are for Obama and we shall vote him - election day will be a shocking moment that may send many of MccAin's supporters to eternity.! I, now cast a doubt on MccAIN'S faith! He is absolutely not a christian, if he is, he will never taunt and discredit the Christian faith that upholds our constitution from time immemorial. Though republican and white, my vote will go for OBAMA.

McCain's a fool!!!!!!!!!!

McCain’s greatest priority is to define Obama as risky before the nomination. If McCain fails to accomplish this task, he is toaste since he would not have the resources to mount vigorous campaign during the Fall due to the constraints of public financing. On the other hand, Obama is going to have 4:1 resources at his disposal when it matters most to drive stake into the heart of McCain’s campaign. McCain has only one viable alternative, which is, throwing mud since he would not have the resources for ground-game organization and operation in ever expanding battle-ground states. Obama’s campaign is using this period for building ground operations, opening offices and registering voters, while McCain is seduced to hogging useless and meaningless polls that have no staying power. McCain is going to wake-up to the reality check after the first debate in the Fall where the visual contrasts between his opponent as to who looks far more presidential in comportment, mode of communications, elegance and graceful personality. The idiocy of those who claim that Obama is all hat and no cow or empty suite or airhead like the two blue-eyed blonds in the ad without recourse that Obama was once a professor of constitutional law at one of the best universities in the nation and graduated at the top of his class as Harvard. This election is going to be a landslide.

How about playing the age card! Mc cain should simply retire and let the vibrant and energetic future correct the wrongs of the past

Yeah, and I could say, "the sky is not blue." And, guess what? It's still blue.

How is John McSame like fermente grapes?
Answer: They both = whine/wine.

mcwhiney's comments don't bother me, he is sinking to new lows because he just doesn't have what it takes. what bothers me is that he still has supporters...I don't believe it...its unreal...sad, really...and scary.

Why did MSM take the ‘race card’ bait, they had heard Obama’s use a variation of these lines many times in his stump speech for months?

It is clearly McCain's strategy to race bait by whining that Obama is playing the race card.

I had expected better of him. When this election season began I thought we had a win win pair of candidates; that whoever won this country would be on a better path. I don't think that any more.

John McCain is just another of the ilk of thugs we have had in office for the last 7 years bankrupting this nation economically and morally. He is old and vain and bent out of shape that this young black whippersnapper might beat him. I can only pray that is what happens.

Obama made a big booboo. And now his supporters are just trying to cover it up. Obama should just own up and apologize. But he is not capable of that.

McCain does not want to talk about issues. He wants to distract voters from the issues, because he has nothing to offer them. So he trots out these ridiculous attack ads and then complains about the race card when Obama merely points out the tactics the McCain campaign and Republican party are already using. America, don't let it happen again, don't fall for another 4 years of the same mess that we're in now.

And so McCain has won this conversation, instead of talking about issues, the MSM, who are all in the tank for McCain are harping on this non-issue.

Any one who is NOT rich, white and male should not be voting Republican, the GOP does not have your best interests in mind. Their goal is to make the rich richer and the heck with every one else.

You would have to be a fool to vote for the failed GOP policies again.

Obama 08

Sabreen60, thankfully you are in the minority. I have always liked Senator McCain (although have been an Obama supporter since 2004) but his antics as of late have convinced me he is absolutely not fit to be POTUS. This behavior is unbelievably undignified for anyone, much less someone running to lead this country.

While it's been awful and sad to watch, he's carving out his own fortune and letting him continue only pushes more and more rational folks out of his camp.

Welcome independents.

More people now see how shady Obama is. He is not the rite person to be president,not a comfortable thought at all. McCain is not perfect, but he will be good for our country and he will be a great president. My prediction is that Obama may even quit at any time, i dont think he is very sure of himself or obout anything.

Of course, McCain is playing the race card. The Britney-Paris ad not only highlights him as the racial other to whites, but it also equates him with the 'dumb blond' stereotype. Then he reads an Obama statement as being exclusively about race when Obama was referring to his general difference from the standard POTUS profile (not only black, but young, new in the Senate, a Muslim name though he's Christian, etc). Meanwhile, another McCain ad appears stirring up the Latinos. Not playing the race ad? Come on!

Talk about bankrupt and immediately one gets a picture of clueless Mc Same-Bush trying to conceive ideas that will solve the many problems America is now facing.

His schoolyard gutter behaviour, which he has been demonstrating with consumate ease, is certainly plaguing his campaign.

At first I thought Obama's comment how he looked different than all those presidents on the dollar bills was meant to accentuate racial differences. Then I found out one of McCain's ads actually does Photoshop a rather goofy-looking Obama onto a 100 dollar bill. Obama was responding to an attack that had already occurred, not making something else. Since the McCain camp had to know about the ad thye produced (or are they that incompetent? Perhaps), then their claim that Obama played the race card is a patently false, and itself a playing of that card. I voted for McCain in the 2000 primaries. In 2008? Fogetaboutit.

Now everyone can see why Sen. Martinez appeals to so many of us in FL. He is truly a man of substance, and (based on McCain's ridiculus ads this week) is desperately needed at the top of the Republican ticket. Martinez in 2012!

I am thoroughly disgusted with Senator McCain and his campaign.

Since WWII we've gone thru the Korean War, Vietnam, Northern Ireland, Afghanistan I (the Soviets), Somalia and Iraq. What will it take for our fool politicians to realize that an occupying force will not defeat a determined group who does NOT want us to be in their country.

The vast majority of Iraqis do NOT want us there. How many more young men and women have to give up their lives or damage their souls just to carry out misguided policies.

We've watched our nation become divided and we are on the brink of all sorts of major social catastrophes, yet we have a major candidate insisting that we must "WIN".

"What gaineth a man who winneth the world but loseth his soul?"...

Trouble is, we ain't even close to "winning the world" either.
