McCain Says He's Running "Respectful Campaign," Not "Negative In the Slightest"

nobama? how many states are there?

Look, McCain also did PR ads for the No Vietnamese. He was paraded around by them alot because his father was the admiral.

None of what he did means he's a coward. If your organization is dependent on people not talking under torture, then you have much bigger problems. You cant fault a POW for _anything_ they did while held by the enemy.

He was, however, bombing civilian targets in violation of the laws of war, and he should at least have complained up the chain of command about that. You can call him a coward for not speaking up about war crimes.

McCain stayed alive as a POW because he sold out his fellow Americans. Signed statements whenever the Vietnamese put a piece of paper in front of him. So much for Name, Rank, & Serial Number: McCain sold out. How does this make him a Hero? Sounds more like a coward to me. Do/Say anything so your captives leave you alone, while selling out your fellow Americans. Disgusting.

John McCain survived five years in a POW camp. Do you think he is going to let Obama play the race card on him? Don't think so. The man knows how to stay alive.

McCain had to stop the race card from Obama. If he hadn't we would have heard it everyday from now until November. I am glad he did. When Obama accused the Clinton's of being racist he may have won that round, but he will lose the game.

McCain's a big, fat liar who is playing the race card. Mr. Republican David Gergen says so. There should be no low road to the white house, but Karl Rove and GWB proved that there was. Now Karl Rove and McCain are trying to prove you can get there through the sewer. It's shameful.

The strategy that Camp McCain is trying to use is the belief that the highest level of notoriety/fame an African American can attained in America is that of celebrity.

They are tapping into the psyche of a group of Americans who are ONLY comfortable witnessing African Americans ascend to popular status as entertainers and sports legends. Goes back to "they can only sing and dance." The underlying theme is RACE, RACE and Negroes, please "stay in your place."

So if you cannot understand why McCain used Britney and Paris alongside Obama, the man who has shattered the glass ceiling on what an African Americans can achieve-- now you know. It's all about psychological exploitation.

I have a child who is almost five and she has already outgrown this kind of avoidance tactic: saying "no it isn't", when it obviously is so, or "I didn't do that/say that", when she obviously did. Interesting that McCain hasn't!

:-)

I just saw the ad with Obama on the $100.00 bill!

It's perfect!

And Obama was the one who set it up by first importing his picture and design into his "clever" re-make of the Presidential Seal!

This new ad... just took Obama's
initial presumptuous act..... and put it into spin, spinspin.

Very clever of Mccain!

If the obamaniacs don't like it, they can blame the parody on their fearless leader.

McCain Says He's Running "Respectful Campaign," Not "Negative In the Slightest"

He should tell that to the marines. He is running a smear campaign which is fast becoming the stock in trade of the republicans.

Man who lives in glass house should not throw first stone.

I so wish the Dems would produce an edited video on McCain's brilliance - The Foreign Policy "expert" who did not know the difference between Sunni & Shia...who thinks Iraq & Afganistan border each other...who sums up his Iran policy by singing bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran. The guy who admits he does not know much about economics when we are sliding into a recession...etc, etc, etc.

Use his own words to expose him and then remind him - it is not mean spirited...just having a little fun.

Right, maybe we should ask Obama's former opponents in the US Senate race and in the Illinois Senate race how "clean" Obama is in campaigns.
-------------------------------------------

Why yes. . .let's ask the always credible, carpetbagging loony tune Alan Keyes about political campaigning, shall we?

The only one who has been playing the "race" card are the ones perpetrating the idea that only the same minority who bought their way into the White House for over 200 years is entitled to the office. In that respect, one should wonder why only one minority is represented on our currency - when it is obvious the vast majority of Americans have no racial or gender relationship to those figures.

McSame doesn't seem to understand the word "respect." Perhaps if the Democrats started regurgitating some of the ads generated by the Bush campaign eight years ago, he'll remember how well Republicans respected him in 2000.

Bush-McCain must think we are really stupid. He is running the most negaive campaign in US history. If he doesn't believe it then his handlers have him hidden away in a closet somewhere.

Love the ads, John - keep it up. Reflect exactly what a lot of voters are feeling. Mission accomplished - you are hitting raw nerves. Stop whining, BHO. Yes, Mc Can!

McCain and his campaign understands the voters are clearly upset with the state of Nation and its affairs. When comparing the candidates on the issues challenging America, Sen Obama has commanding lead over Sen McCain. Given these facts McCain has decided to try and Smear Obama with lies & distortions. McCain fearing a loss has decided to throw Decency, Integrity & Issues under the bus. I guess McCain believes " If you can''t dazzle the voters with your Brilliance, Baffle them with B-ll S--t". This is a very bad year to be a Republican Politician, It is so bad that the Republican leadership is telling their House & Senate candidates to campaign against the GOP if they hope to get elected. Let''s face it, McCain has Buzzard Luck , Can't kill nothing and nothing will die."

The Good Ole Party are devoid of ideas or Leadership!

Obama 08

Isn't it GREAT to see an average American really make it big. Obama was raised by his single-mother with the help of his grandparents. He worked Hard, got a good education, and turned down large sums of money to go to work for the average American. What a great story. He raised his large sums of money for his campaign, not thru big corporate donors like many others, but thru average Americans giving $10 or $20 at a time. I suspect he is going to go down in history as one of the great presidents of all time. Obama will be Great in 2008!!!.

Obama is quoted as saying “Let me be clear — in no way do I think that John McCain’s campaign was being racist...I think they were cynical and I think they want to distract from talking about the real issues.”

Two things about this comment demonstrate that Obama is the real cynic.

First, the Obama played the race card continuously against Hillary. Everyone knows it, and everyone knows it worked. Obama knows the Clintons are not racist, but that did not stop his campaign from smearing them as racists. So, McCain knew the race card was coming and he was prepared for it.

Second, Obama is not interested in talking about real issues. If he was he would meet McCain in town hall meetings. His campaign is about celebrity, about style, about huge crowds, and about pretty words. It is not and never has been about any real issues.

This 2005 interview with Tim Russert on Meet the Press make it very clear.
************************************
RUSSERT: The fact is you are different than George Bush.
SEN. McCAIN: No. No. The fact is that I have agreed with President Bush far more than I have disagreed. And on the transcendent issues, the most important issues of our day, I’ve been totally in agreement and support of President Bush.
**********************************

It all comes down to whether or not you think we should continue the bush policies. If you think the war should continue indefinitely, while we spend $10,000,000,000 a month, and you think that bush has done well with the economy then mc-more-war is your man. If you think that it's time we start to get out of iraq and do some positive things for the average American instead of just the top 1% then vote for Obama.
