McCain Confronts the Anger

As an outsider Mccain is a joke and he is bring the worst side of The Americans Citizten out . In 2008 you hear some people comment that make u wonder . Did you see the kinda people that support him ? please , are a big mass of no ignorant people with no clue of what s really going on......Man i will fell really sorry if Mccain would win this elections......For all ya Americans.

so much hate.. cant we all just get along?

If Barack Obama filed lawsuits for defamation against everyone who has defamed him, the culprits would fill a stadium. I believe that most people would not ordinarily indulge in character assassination, however, during political races, it seems that defamation, a civil tort, is acceptable. Maybe a lawsuit is necessary in order to diffuse some of this abominable behavior, and possibly discourage it in future elections.

The McCain-Palin attacks are downright disgusting! McCain looked extremely nervous shaking his head when that woman accused Obama of being an Arab. Know why?? Because McCain's campaign is responsible for that lie too! What a disgrace. Even if he was more qualified at some point he sickens me.

If McCain wanted to tamp down the nuttery manifesting itself among his supporters his sesponse could have been simply this: "Like me, Barak Obama is an American. His racial background is African and Caucasian. He is not an Arab or a Muslim. He professes faith in Jesus Christ as I do." He would then be free to savage Obama on any issue he wants to guilt free. The answer he gave to the woman who called him an Arab was basically to say Obama could not be an Arab because he is a decent family man and a citizen. Last I checked those descriptions applied to
the vast majority of Arab Americans.

I did some phonebanking for Obama recently in Colorado, and I can say that a small percentage of McCain supporters / Obama detractors are gradually filling with rage. Especially some of these older men who consider any rumour they see on the internet (he's an Arab, he took down the flag from his plane) as "research". I had one tell me that Obama "isn't American. He's just about as American as...as Adolf Hitler".
If Obama gets in, the first bill he should sign is an increase in the Secret Service budget because these folks are upset. I'm also afraid about what hate crime stats will look like the night of Nov. 4th.

All the stuff the McCain campaign has said it on tape. That "kill him" came during Palins speech, She avocates Hate. Nothing she can say that will change whats on tape. Nothing McCain can do to change whats on tape.Nothing all them white folks said can be change it's all on tape. McCain and Palin have to place in the White House for they dO NOT represent what MOST PEOPLE WANT. They represent a small percentage of people who are narrow minded and believe they are better than anyone else. They have lied and twisted everything to thier advantage.but lucky for us..IT'S ALL ON TAPE. "Thank God"

Obama talks a good game, he is going to fix everybody with extra income, give baby bonds for new borns and spend a few trillion dollars more on new programs. This attracts immigrantion and immigrants cost money and more resources! Not a good thing for us at this time. Americans need therapy for their addictions, mainly substance abuse and shopping, closed immigration for a couple of years and to get our house in order!

serious voter,

You can't be serious. Obama's been running for 2 yrs. If you don't know him, it's because you don't want to know him.

"Many Americans still don't know who Obama is, except some negative things about him. How is the Democratic party going to explain about this..." We live in a Democracy and that gives us lots of freedoms. There are two freedoms we shouldn't have: 1)Voting. When you choose not to vote, you choose not to be a part of the Democratic system. 2)Political Laziness. IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY to get to know the candidates. No one else's. OURS. SeriousVoter: I don't care who you vote for, but if you don't take the process seriously enough to get up off your armchair and do a little objective fact checking FOR YOURSELF then you are not taking your vote at all seriously, and should be ashamed. Vote for McCain if you want, but don't say it's because you didn't know the other guy - that's just pathetic.

The McCain camp defend these comments as the comments of "real Americans". Yep, they are real. They aren't the majority, but they are real. And that's sad. Can we get back to the economy now?? I mean, in McCain's own words - it's "cratering". I would have thought he'd be interested in addressing that in the closing weeks of his Presidential run. He no longer appeals to the majority of GOP. Mainstream Middle America are real people too - and they're the ones voting the new President into office in a few weeks time - and they aren't at McCain's rallies. In pandering to such ignorance, McCain has lowered the tone of his campaign to a point past desparation. It's an insult to Middle America. Sir, Middle America isn't stupid - win or lose, you owe this Great Nation better than you are giving. You are a disgrace.

I've been around long enough to remember people crying in their front yards while I was walking home after being let out of school early. JFK had been shot. I was too young to fully appreciate why this was so upsetting to so many, but after a few years and hearing about Robert Kennedy being shot as well, I began to realize that politics and angry people are a deadly mix.

You would think that this sort of thing just couldn't happen in the United States in this day and age, but in this economy, any spark can light a fire. Losing an election, or slipping in the polls, should not be a reason to create riotous activity. We all love a good fight intellectually in presidential races, but this type of "killer" campaigning must be stopped before someone gets hurt physically.

'dirty setup'....Voters, give Palin a chance. It is about time to get women involved in serving the country. Don't you think they have been outsiders for a long time?

McCain could have picked from several highly qualified Republican women (U S Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, U S Senator Elizabeth Dole or even Condelessa Rice) but instead he chose to pick a nut case from Alaska who wants to secede from the rest of America.

I think McCain is to the point where he is personally embarrassed that his base is made up primarily of Redneck Retards.

He should be.

"Voters, give Palin a chance. It is about time to get women involved in serving the country. Don't you think they have been outsiders for a long time?"

I completely disagree with this. Women are and have been involved in "serving the country" for decades. What gender do you think the Speaker of the House is? Sarah Palin doesn't deserve anything, especially being VP. She, like every other VP has to earn it. Not to mention, this woman and her crazy religious beliefs will be watching over the U.S. Senate. She doesn't even know what the job of the VP is, and it's stated in the Constitution!

McCain/Palin and their followers are racist, xenophobic warmongers and do not adhere to clear, anaylitical, logical, thinking that is needed for the two highest positions in America.

Voters, give Palin a chance. It is about time to get women involved in serving the country. Don't you think they have been outsiders for a long time?

Many Americans still don't know who Obama is, except some negative things about him. How is the Democratic party going to explain about this. McCain is a war hero and we are proud of him. He is the most honest man we have.

The Democratic party with Obama, he is the only choice they had. I think McCain is going to win. the media is going to talk about McCain and Palin in the final week because voters are seeing many negative things about Obama.

Many voters still don't know who Obama is, maybe the people in Chicago know him. We know Biden but he is a VP candidate. Every american knows Mccain, he is a decent man who loves his country very much. He deserves to be president and I hope voters will remember that when they vote in November.

That crowd was hilarious. I hope you McCain supporters see how challenged the McCain base is.
