McCain Confronts the Anger

Name one good thing that Obama has done for America?
Name one good thing that Biden has done for America?
The choice for president is obvious: McCain-Palin.

Either party can solve our current problems because both parties got plans and these plans will be implemented anyway. The question is who is more trustworthy and understands american values to lead the nation? Who has the right character to run the government? Who can deal with problems around the world, especially in the Middle East? The answer is John McCain.

Too little too late mr mccain.

In fact, you should have never let the race baiting at your rallies go so far - or even start. You have dishonored yourself by doing so.

You have no one to blame but yourself...and you think you have the judgement to be president? Think again.

Damn right Americans are ANGRY !
It may be painful to hear this but the first place to direct that anger is:
INTO A MIRROR !
We live in a Democracy that -theoretically- allows us to decide how we would govern ourselves.
And if it isn't allowing that freedom of self governance than it's only our own neglect at fault.
By letting cynical politics sway our decisions rather than having some intellectual curiosity about the way our world functions we MAKE OUR OWN BED.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm tired of listening to people lash out at 'some outside force' we like to give the name 'government'. That's just an excuse for neglecting our own responsibilities.
'We the People' - IT's OUR FAULT ! Everyone likes to feel good about themselves - but too bad !
It's your fault.
And mine.

And they arrest people for protesting war?
Shouldn't McCain and Palin be charged under the Riot Act?

Who will be the first to concede publishing a lie about Obama is sexier than telling a truth about McCain? That any fake story using the name Obama is more likely to get eyeballs than any real story usint the name McCain. The Media isn't looking too good here. They still have yet to take any responsibility for fanning the flames of McCain's crazies.

Ironic, but one of the ads that appears alongside this column in my browser is for a disinfectant. Not enough for this press corps.

Who does McCain think he's fooling? My 7 year old grandson gave a better performance in the school play.

It's dis-ingenious for McCain to toss a lighted match on a haystack, then call for a water bucket when it is engulfed in flames.

Great line! Bur you forgot....McCain is lighting the match while Palin is pouring the gasoline...

Someone ought to point to McCain and Palin how elected officials of US Government can condone those who advocate violence against any US citizen let alone assasination? McCain and Palin should dis-associate themselves from this crowd instead of insiting them. Every ad that portrays Obama as somehow un-American plays into the lynch mob mentality. Sooner or later it will escalate to something worse....Mark my words...And Palin and McCain will act just like all the other Republicans and deny any responsibility for what happens..

I am a Southerner who grew up during desegregation. We have come too far in the last 40 years for any presidential or vice -presidential candidate to use dis-respectful terminology ('that one'), cloaked allusions and coded speech to inflame latent stereotypical attitudes during a period of economic instability and rampant fear in the general populace to further their own ends. It is dangerous, it is irresponsible and it is not characteristic of a strong leader. A good leader inspires his followers to be the best they can be; he doesn't appeal to their worst fears.

It is amazing to me how many people like the woman in the video think Obama is an Arab. ( and other hate filled ideas like this ) They obviously have been watching too much Fox News. These McCain supporters are SCARY!!! Good for McCain taking the mic away from her. These people are misinformed about Obama and that is very unfortunate.

McCain's supporters are AWESOME, "average Americans" like the McCain camp said!

Vote for McCain, and you'll be in good company!

...or not....

PRESIDENT OBAMA!

It is very disturbing to hear the level of anger in some Republicans voices. Reminds me a bit about the groups that went to Florida during the so called recount of 2000.
John McCain and Barack Obama both have secret service protection because in the 1960's we lost Robert Kennedy and almost George Wallace as a result of a few unbalanced people that gave in to anger.
Law enforcement needs to take these outbursts seriously. And the person or persons that shouted "Kill him" need to be arrested. I am sure that with all the cameras on the crowd, that person can be Identified.

I also agree that John McCain acted like a true leader in his response. That's the first glimpse of the real McCain

So now its called "fear and bigotry" to question the qualifications of the dem candidate?

First time I have ever seen a candidate deploy "truth squads" and use state officials to threaten the public with investigation if they ask questions about a candidate. Now the same candidate is using the press to silence public opinion.

Despite everything that disqualifies Dear Leader Barry from being a valid candidate, this abuse of my right to question makes it clear he is NOT the POTUS for those who love freedom.

Anyone who actually takes the time to research . . . with a "fine-tooth comb" . . . Obama's legislative voting record, both in Illinois and in Washington, can clearly see that his voting record rarely meets the lofty standards of his rhetoric.
Obama's disciples are like religious zealots. They are emotionally and psychologically incapable of looking beneath the surface and accepting the fact that Obama is NOT what he claims to be. He IS a "stealth" Socialist.

A good post:

I like what author Frank Schaeffer, of the Baltimore Sun stated about the way McCain has been running his campaign. Keep in mind that Schaeffer is a Republican. I think he states it best don't you...`

"John McCain and Sarah Palin, you are playing with fire, and you know it. You are unleashing the monster of American hatred and prejudice, to the peril of all of us. You are doing this in wartime. You are doing this as our economy collapses. You are doing this in a country with a history of assassinations.

Change the atmosphere of your campaign. Talk about the issues at hand. Make your case. But stop stirring up the lunatic fringe of haters, or risk suffering the judgment of history and the loathing of the American people - forever."

Enough said...

OBAMA ACTUALLY HAS GREAT IDEAS THAT MAKE SENSE ...I TRULY BELEIVE HE WILL WORK HARD FOR US AND THIS COUNTRY AND IF NOT THEN WE ALL KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN .....BUT I KNOW OBAMA IS GOING TO DO GREAT THINGS FOR THIS COUNTRY ...

VOTE 4 OBAMA IF YOU LOVE THIS COUNTRY... I LIKE MCCAIN AS WELL BUT MY VOT E IS 4 OBAMA.. I THINK HE GENUINELY HAS AMERICAS PEOPLES BEST INTEREST AT HEART...WE NEED A REAL CHANGE AND A REAL POSITIVE LEADER .....GO OBAMA !!!!!!! I DIS-LIKED PALIN FROM THE BEGINNING ........GO OBAMA / BIDEN.. I CANT WAIT TILL OBAMA IS OUR PRESIDENT !!!!

Okay, so McShame has one day in which he attempted to staunch the bleeding from the weeks (months?) of negative rhetoric and lies coming from his campaign and Governor Palin, not to mention his utter lack of respect for Senator Obama during each of the debates.

There's no noble gesture here. His own surrogates and endorsers were blasting him for the violence-inducing turn his campaign has taken, and poll numbers were going down (are going down) even further. He changed his tune because it was only working with his base -- and his base won't win the election!

We'll see how long it lasts. McShame's wandering around the stage at the last debate was a metaphor for his campaign, so I'm guessing the negativity at rally sites will return, even as it hasn't disappeared from ads.

Remember: Ayers, Arabs and Wright didn't work for Hillabeans. They won't work for McShame either.

Obama/Biden 08

A supporter of McCain's stated that she did not trust Obama because the woman claimed that Obama was an Arab.
McCain told the woman No, that's not true. And his Republican supporter were shocked to hear that it was not true.
McCain has allowed so much of the Republican lies to circulate, McCain and his running mate have added more lies to the tub of Republican Lies that now he has to take a back step.

Well, It's too late McCain, now it's too late, though you really did try to stop it, People are now realizing that lied and you can't hide it, you just can't stop it. It's too late, McCain. It's too late, now Johnny. It's too late.
