The Two Men Who Saved McCain's Life in That Cell

mgks

and name something that Obama put his name on that didnt carry millions of dollars back to IL? nothing! or should I say zero... zero... zero!

You have to chuckle to yourself when someone says we lost in Iraq when we are on the verge of success - admitted to by both Obama and most other Dems.

McCain called it right, Obama called it wrong. Obama should run for President of France - he's an expert at cut and run.

Bush/Cheney et al were never really in charge the last 8 yrs it was the interests like big oil and the military industrial complex... Mccain is neither and he would be the the first president since George HW Bush to have served in the military

staniam-

I didn't say a word against McCain's service or anything about swiftboating.

It's the FLIP-FLOPPING that gets me. Is he against Bush, or why did he vote 95% of the time with Bush?

Here's the deal. Politically, McCain changes positions faster than an unmarried teenage couple.

McCain voted with Bush 95% of the time. He's got a great POW story and is a great american. That was then, this is now.

We've been run into the ditch by these fools over the last 8 years. Are you going to vote for them again?

You know what you call doing the same thing over and over and then expecting a different result?

INSANITY

try as you will to use the swift boat routine against Mccain.... it only worked once and one time only against Kerry....Clinton won the primairies you have to win to win the general election... all of your arguments will vanish without a trace... Obama is dead in the water now!

furthermore.... who will it be left standing when Obama is embarrassed in November? HILLARY! Who will win decrying 12 yrs of republican rule of the white house ... sound familiar ... a Clinton... it was planned this way you know it Not to say polticians are maniplulative... but no Obama had to go this time and make the narrative evn more perfect than it couldve been if Hillary just won in a walk against mccain this time... you people need to wake up and start learning how poltics works!

On the record, McCain has fought and voted against alternative energy development in the Senate.

Now he comes out swinging for alternative energy?

So why did he vote against it before he was for it? Well, the terms pander and hypocrisy come to mind.

FLIPPITY FLOPPITY! Is it the old McCain or the new McCain? The 95% Bush McCain or the "maverick"? I'm getting dizzy with all these personality changes.

"John Kerry, who received a Purple Heart for his own acts of heroism."

Kerry's mistake was throwing his medal away. Can't imagine what he was going through at the time, although it came back to bite him in the.

thats right...this is '88 all over again... you watch the people that werent even alive in '88 who have no clue will be banished by one of the oldest poltical tricks in the book... some of us remember wiley horton in '88 but this time I will enjoy it when they do that to him!

.... how many times did no-bami vote "present" ... and who voted for him as "community organizer" ... which he probably got through affirmative action since he had no experience!

well Obama only grudgingly gave a laundry list of policy after months of not doign it on the campaign trail... hes tryingto run away from any opponents and win with only himself on stage thats not the way it works!

Obama''s supporters responded to the RNC speeches by sending money to their candidate. They have not learned .. he out-spent Hillary Clinton in many big states 4 and 5-1 .. and she still beat him. Money does not change his razor-thin resume ... or his lack of work in both the state senate in Illinois and the U.S. Senate. His voting record is abysmal. Palin got one thing really right ... he has written 2 books about himself ... and has written absolutely no significant legislation! He was "present" .. and that''s about it. So ... save your gas and grocery $$$ libs!!
The choice is: war hero or senate zero

What the GOP showed the American people tonight is, they have nothing new to offer (no new policies). Also they want us to believe that McCain's experience as a POW is more important than discussing issues that affect the middle class in America.
A vote for McCain would return America to the stone age. Enough is enough.

McCain says to stand up and fight against partisan rancor. So that's what I plan to do.

Like the partisan rancor when pitt-bull palin made that sarcastic quip about Obama's community organizing for 3 years after college?

So what did Palin do for 3 years after college?

Turns out she need a 5th year of college and was either unemployed or working as a sportscaster and or part time fishing. Are you impressed, self-adoring right wing patriots?

Obama was an organizer, sure. For 3 years after college.

Was Palin president of the harvard law review?
Is she a constitutional law scholar?
A state senator for 8 years?
A civil rights attorney?
A US Senator?
A battle-tested candidate for President who endured 2 years and challenged one of the most storied families in American public life?

How many votes make you mayor of Wasilly anyway (pop 5000)?

Living in a glass house? Hypocrites. Keep your partisan-rancor to yourselves!

Roxanne,
I personally don't like these accusations of "POW card" or "race card" or "gender card", etc. There are authentic differences between the policies of the two candidates, although they are both failures when it comes to communicating any economic messages of note. I'm still voting for Obama for Supreme Court purposes, but I see both choices as not the best that America could produce. Personally, I'd like to see Hillary Clinton up against Sarah Palin. There's a real contest between two smart choices.

McCain did our country good by serving in the military but so did many others I appreciate that he served.But it is time to start hearing his visions for the country.There was nothing said that was very moving.We are not living for the past but for the future.McCain sounded like he was tired tonight.While Palin sounded tough she did not say anything about any issues that really have an effect on the average American.I don't think they have any clue how much people are hurting by this economy.

only one epic administration can use the phrase"the Economy stupid" it was William J Clintons administration the only dem to be re-elected since FDR!! You people did not give enough respect that was due the Clintons and will now pay"bigtime" to borrow a phrase from the notorious current VP!

By the way, he keeps talking about knowing how to win a war, which is BS! Does he realize that we lost Viet Nam? This we can win in Iraq is BS! We've already lost. We went in for WMD's that weren't there. We're spending 12 billion a month when Iraq has a 79 billion dollar surplus. We're looking like the biggest idiots in the world and we're being played. It's time to get out. McCain is already setting us up to invade Iran! Enough! We've got our own domestic problems that have gone unchecked for 8 years!

Biden opitimizes the old, white, old boy's network that characterizes Washington - the true 'inside the beltway' homeboy. He's been in the Senate for 35 years - let it go already. He apparently needs to copy British speeches to make his point, or at least that was his MO in '88. Some change, Barak - you sold out!
