John McCain's Double "Rope Line" Standard

McCain a known product. Obama never has so little been known about a candidate for President.

I just read that Joe was chosen for his honesty and free spirit...does that include gaffes? Sarah was chosen for her free spirt and honesty..why can't she have gaffes?? the media is like wolves, they hate her and want to distroy her. Joe CUJO Biden attacks his master.

Obama looked like the five year old. He interrpted, raised his finger, made faces and in general was a sideshow. He agreed with John 9 times! McCain never interruped never raised his hand and kept to himself. People want a president-in-training are just like chirs Matthews, they get a "tingle" up their legs, man-love. actually Obama is Michelle's third kid. I think an unqualified obma for president is dangerous, who will be actually running the government? one of his minions? Obama is lazy and has no experience except as a community organizer causing trouble and ripping off the Government. But his got ACORN and they will get thousands of ballots and fill them as usual.

And now this from the guy who today is accusing Obama of not telling the truth about his voting record. McCain didn't even bother to show up to vote on the bills he's talking about. McCain has the worst attendance record of any senator, worse even than the guy from South Dakota who suffered a stroke this year.

McCain really has to think the voting public is a bunch of fools to believe him when he says Obama isn't telling the truth - after all the lies he's been telling. I suppose he figures he's been getting away with it so far.

McCain is showing more and more he is naive regarding the media....In this day and age you need be media-savvy...Attacking the press as biased simply brings more bad press...particularly, when McCain and his running mate have given plenty for the media to report...McCain is simply erratic...and it shows..His running mate is out of her league....and it shows as well...

How is the world ruled and led to war? Diplomats lie to journalists and believe these lies when they see them in print.

I think it's important that we all be able to admit when our candidates make a mistake, and John McCain made one here. I actually think the Biden Coal ad needs to come down. Sauce for the goose, you know.

That being said, I still think McCain is the superior candidate. He still gets my vote in November. But when you're wrong, you're wrong.

Thank God for George W. Bush-yes is said it-he is and was the right man to teach us the error of our way. It is unfortunate that all Americans have to suffer for the choice we made in 2004, but it gives me great joy to know the the same people who choose Bush over Kerry is doing even worse than I. I am even hoping John McCain win this time so by the time he is done with us Americans, we won't be able to think, so when we do finally get the right man to rule we would learn a appreciate a good leadder instead of a JOKE like BUSh and JOHN.

Senator McCain past actually impairs him from to be flexible and confront the future with open mind. .Senator Obama foreign policy is moderate but also smart. That helps to keep our friends near, and or foes nearer! The last days of the campaign confirmed that McCain -Plain are the most inadequate people to run this country.
Now we know that not only Obama can lead, but also he had a plan for the future of this great country!
Now McCain can snooze tight. Obama can answer the 03.00 am call any time!

All McCain kept ranting on was his record in countries that were in a mess in the 80s' and 90s' after the collapse of the Soviet Union. I know you want to assure us you're experienced, but McCain, you didn't say much on WHAT EXACTLY you will do, nor did you show how you would be different from Bush. You did not seem to give a thought to the fact that our world standing has plunged because of the Iraq fiasco (although it's slightly less of a fiasco right now), and lots of people worldwide see America as a war-mongering country that has no respect for international law (we invaded Iraq against the UN Security Council Resolution) and a big bully.

People are not going to join some league of democracies or whatever. We already have the United Nations- and we need to include those hostile countries in the UN so we have some means of engaging them. A league of democracies could very well start another Allied vs. Axis sort of Cold War, this time with the US and Russia on opposing side, as seen from the rise of China and Russia.

The last thing we need is a polarized world.

Recent update on the compaign trail. After their latest attempts at of stall and spin recovery have run into difficulty, the Republicans asked the question in the VP debate to be changed from multiple choice to a true or false formate.

So McCain's injuries from crashing his plane and being tortured by the North Vietnames makes him a hero? Why?
And, pathetic as his present physical injuries are, the wounding of his psyche that inevitably accompanies physical wounding, on top of the arrogant upper-class prig personality he took into the service, would hardly add up to qualifications for office. Consider the ill-tempered, irratic, impulsive behavior witnessed and documented about McCain. Assaulting coworkers when he disagrees with them, calling his wife filthy names in public. We don't need a warped, messed-up person for president.

Instead of addressing the key foreign policy challenges of our time - a resurgent Russia, China rising, North Korea and Iran increasingly belligerent, wars on two fronts, and an increasingly worried Israel....All McCain was saying was to stay the course with the same approach we have taken over the last eight years, an approach that has NOT WORKED. SO to me, the two positions are very clear...do we stay the course, and quite likely risk war on another front, or do we try something different. On Foreign policy the choice is really that simple.

Didn't Palin say something in a speech about not saying one thing in one part of the country and something else in another part of the country? I think she does....as go the Pakistan comments.....shees!

Holiday Bombings Kill 27 in Baghdad

5 bomb attacks struck Baghdad on Sunday, three of them aimed at civilians who were out holiday shopping and strolling. Security sources said at least 27 people had been killed and 84 wounded.

The bombings reinforced fears among a growing number of residents that the security situation in Baghdad was deteriorating.

if you can rember the media coverage of the bombing of bagdad, did you wonder as i did how terrified those poor citizens were at that time? i thought" who is the biggest terriorest in the world now? we had no reason, other than the burring bush's need for a distraction. it wasn't about oil( all the oil in iraq is going to china) it was to take your eye off of 911.afganistan is where the battle should be joined. there,as you know are NOweapons of mass destruction,but there ARE 1,000,000,000 dead iraqi. what does that mean? george bush has bequethed us a legacy. a legacy of continuing hate and antimosity from the familys of 1,000,000,000 dead iraqis how would you react if it was your family, if it was your contry, and someone decided to just come in and start killing?

Congressman Barney Frank - told a group of reporters, “It’s the longest Hail Mary pass in the history of either football or Marys.”

I think this hypocrisy goes a little farther than standard issue.

If you want to find embarrassing things that the Vice Presidential candidates said, you can probably find a few in the millions of hours of blabbing that Biden done.

Or you can find more in the 20 minutes of interviews from Sarah Palin.

It takes astounding hypocrisy to defend Palin as anything more than a Hail Mary pass.

The thing about Hail Mary passes; they rarely work.

It’s discouraging to think how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit.
