Nice from Hill the Bosnian General to say that Obama is formidable, because she is afraid of tonight debate after distoritng and twisting Obama's words and qualifying him of being an elitist and out of touch for a whole week. No, Hill the Bosnian General you can run but you cannot hide, meet him tonight and there will be real conversation about the issues facing America and how you amassed 109 million+ 800 000 from Urube in Colombia. Hopefully these union people undertand what you are planning with Urube on their back i.e. shipping over to Colombia their jobs. God bless America and God bless obama. OBAMA08.

This is great one senile ingrate attacking another.

MYCOUNTRY, voting for Obama is voting for your country. You may understand that McCain is unelectable as is Hill the Bosnian General. So you better get ready to support Obama to transform his leadership vision into a reality. The world and America are waiting for Obama to lead. God bless America and God bless Obama.OBAMA08.

Murtha? The greatest ear marker of all times who steals from the citizens to support his pals?

I guess he's read where McCain is against earmarks. That wouldn't be his motive. Would it?

B E W A R E !

Moderate democrats are going to be ousted by the party's leftists. If you want real meaningful change, you should vote for Nader come general election time. Switching allegiance to the leftists will destroy your party forever.

Obama is Dangerously out of touch with
reality and clings to guns and religion.

This Election is crazy. People get so wrapped up into the hype of politics. The bottom line is the issues. while you’ all are fussing about who said what and who is associated with who...why not think about what that person can do for you...If you look at the dems both candidates have most of the same solutions. So, instead on voting on the issues that may or may not affect you, you rather focus on petty things that in the long run are irrelevant to you. This country has gone down hill with Bush in office. So, you wouldn’t vote for BO b/c he’s arrogant or Hillary b/c she makes too much money. But you would vote for McCain because you don't like the other candidate personality...reality check: These people will never be your friends. All of these people are not perfect and will never be perfect…and the last time I checked they were human being. As if any of you are perfect…wow God forbid they say something that may offend someone as if you’ve never done it before. God forbid you were associated with a person, you may think has crossed the line once or twice before…however you’re still associated with them. Wake up people!!! You’re taking this petty thing way to seriously. Focus on the issues and how it will affect your lives. I’m an Obama supporter, however if he didn’t get the nomination, well guess what the next best person would be Hillary for me. Focus on the Issues people…come on!!

To be perfectly accurate Obama's stupidity
and unpatriotism makes him unfit to be
a citizen of this country.

The democratic party is doomed! With Hillary's follower's defections, Obama will become a minor player in the general elections.

Obama thinks we don't like him because
he is black - but actually we don't like him in spite of the fact that he is black!

Obama pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez
withdraw!!!!

all this stuff coming out of these posts about obama is exactly why part of the democratic party needs some tough love to get rid of this clinton cloud.

There a good article on USA today's website entitled "Obama tied to lobbyists, but boasts of not taking money". The connection with his fellow lawyers is most interesting.

Just the idea of that "bitter" not proud of her country, Michelle Obama, becoming the first lady of the country that I love and am very proud to be from and that she would represent is enough to inspire me to vote Republican if Hillary is not the nominee!!

rockthebleachers -- if Hillary looses, you can still have meaningful change. Vote Nader and make a statement in addition to promoting your values.

Common Sense

Do you seriously believe Hillary supporter's will shift to Obama. McCain represents centralist values that appeal to moderate democrats far more that the southpaws represent their core values.

McCain climbed the grand canyon last year over 3 days with his son in the navy academy.

Colin Powell is McCain's age.

Pelosi is McCain's age.

Justice Kennedy is McCain's age.

6 justices on the supreme court are older than McCain.

23 senators are older than McCain.

Senator Feinstein is 3 years older than McCain.

McCain is being smeared and it is a shame because he would be a historic leader.

Murtha last year tried to become majority leader in the house. At that time he wasn't talking about his own age.

Reagan was re-elected when he was years older than McCain.

McCain isn't even that old.

Bush Sr was president around McCain's age.

71 isn't that old.

Italy just elected their leader who is 71.

BKMC,
I see you are attempting to build up your candidate, Obama by again hacking away at Hillary Clinton with bald-faced lies.

You cannot show where even for a moment that Hillary Clinton has backed down from Barack Obama. Your statement is nothing but a distortion of reality. What's in the koolaid?

If you and Obama don't have anything to fear from Clinton why do you blog non-step. Be careful, you are going to turn into one of the BITTER voters.
========================================
OBAMA BLESS OBAMA
OBAMA BLESS AMERICA!
BKMC's LORD GOD AND SAVIOR '08
========================================

He may be too old for the job, but more importantly: he's too dumb for it, just as George W. Bush is.

Murtha has seen 8 presidents come and go. Why do we have lifers in the Senate and House?? They are supposed to serve their country and then leave. Please limit the terms of these geezers.

If you are worried about the general election, NOT THIS TIME!! We will not vote on FEAR of the General election. This time we will prove that Hillary and the Republicans cannot steal the presidency by scaring the daylight out of us and force us to make the wrong choice.

G0 OBAMA!!!!

The old Murtha, should remember that it was Hillary who suffered from amnesia and sleep deprivation regarding the Bosnia make-up. The majority of time she makes her speech, she has to read them. This man maybe 71 years old, but he speaks fluently and intelligently and does not seem to have any lapses of memory like the Clintons, whom OLD Murtha is supporting..He is as much as inspirational as Obama, and for his age he can match the two of them together,McCain is oozing with confidence and above all he is STRONG, and he speaks with AUTHORITY, befitting a strong leader Murtha, you may be OLD, but not John McCain. This man is full of ENERGY. You have endorsed someone, who is a PHONEY, who has memory problems, who is a PATHOLOGICAL liar. Yeah, it is better you had endorsed McCain, that would have been more justifiable to you, and furthermore you would have felt better.

Obama should be running motivational sales seminars, not running for president - simply not ready yet.

As said by the American Child Scholars, The Little Rascals.

"If you can't beat em, join em"

Don't forget - Murtha was pushing a program to cut off funding for the troops WHILE they were deployed in Iraq.
I am a former active duty Marine Officer.
WE have a saying - Once a Marine, Always a Marine. Murtha proved to be the exception. He is truly an X-Marine, and a disgrace to the country and uniform.

It goes to show you how a pathological liar can influence them to the point of no independent thought. Let me put this on a relationship basis: Man and woman go into a relationship:

Man lies and says he's a CEO of a company when he's actually out of work. He lies not only once but tells you the story multiple times. When the woman confronts him, his defense is that he was very tired and emotionally spent and actually mispoke. That woman would drop him in a heartbeat without further merit. However, those women who would keep this pathological liar as their partner can only expect more lies down the line regarding issues in the past on up to the lies preparing to be told in the future.

It's one thing to tell a lie, but when you're a well known established politician, why do it? Sounds like Clinton knew a long time ago that she had to pad up the PERCEPTION of leadership because people didn't believe she had any experience.

When you tell one lie, you have to think of another one to cover up the first.

Parents, Hillary Clinton is not a good role model for anyone.

Murtha is afraid that someone who was actually in the front during the Vietnam war will expose the fact the he (Murtha) was a backoffice hack who never saw and probably avoided going into combat.

Murtha was born in 1932 and McCain in 1936. So isn't Murtha too old for Congress?

I think Clinton is right on the money concerning the Republicans. Furthermore, J. Murtha was one of the few in congress to stand up to the Bush administration and voiced his concerns about the war. The Bush administration was nasty if you spoke out against them or against the war. Remember, all those people who got fired from t.v., and jobs because they spoke out. Another concern I have with Obama is that I am not sure he is strong enough to stand up to an military industrial complex. One thing about the presidency is that you have to be able to have the bueacracy behind you. If not your in trouble and I am not sure Obama can do that. I suspect if he wins he will try in sincerety to change things but will end up failing because most outsiders who come into change end up just like the rest of them. I like Hillary's approach in terms of solutions. Let's not change what we have but improve what we've got and make it better. I think that is a much easier goal then to try and take on washington.

True realities of the kind of republican supporters. They are so naive.

KJ, you're jusdt the type of voter that's so frustrating in this election. You keep harping about wanting to discuss issues (you're an Obama supporter) and yet, Clinton is the only candiddate that really discusses issues; Obama spends most of his time making snide reactionary comments about the other two candidates; eg Annie Oakley etc. My point is, PLEASE OBAMA SUPPORTERS, stop with the left-handed compliments for Hilary. If it's issues you want, then Clinton tries her hardest to talk about them (her first 100 days in office for example) but you (and the media)want to go on and on about Bosnia or Bill but completely ignore the gaffes made by you know who and what's in it for you? You all talk about being inspired." You want inspiration? Read the Bible.

Miss Peri

If the nominating time doesn't pertain directly to the general elections, what does it pertain to?

How should senior take Murtha's comments about McCain?

Will Mutha's comments help or hurt Clinton?

Watch as the Clintons become more desperate, we're likely to see another blow up from Bill. It'll just take the right person to set it off. If you keep poking an angry dog with a stick, sooner or later it's gonna bite...

Murtha makes McCain look like
a Spring Chicken and McCain isn't
Brain-Dead like Murtha!
By the way didn't Howard Dean, after mentioning McCains age say that the
Dems were not going to bring it up
in the campaign?
I guess it's not just the Clintons who are Serial Liars, it's the whole
Democrat Party!

Jason:
Excellant Post!

Why is it not okay to attack Mrs. Clinton on her gender or Mr. Obama on his race and his youth, but Mr. McCain's age is fair game?

I call that ageism.

Kay: Can't you talk about ISSUES instead of slinging mud. Oh -- I remember -- your candidate has no solutions for anything except touchy-feely things that give his followers false hope.

6 justices on the supreme court are over the age of 70.

Colin Powell is 70.

Speaker Pelosi is turning 68.

23 senators are older than McCain. Elizabeth Dole is older, senator feinstein is 74.

McCain last year hiked the grand canyon over 3 days with his son.

McCain gives the press great access on his bus, plane, and holds press events and goes on shows young people like. McCain opens himself up to more access than the dems. McCain works his tail off. Look at how he campaigned in new hampshire he would go to 7 events a day.

haha... McCain-asuarus

Did the 'reporters' over on FOX take a break and start hitting up this blog..lol.

You extremists are so obvious and pathetic...

Yes McCain was clutching that poor mascot like he lost his best friend! He grabbed his hand after he came out from behind that curtain and he did not let the mascots hand go until he walked up the stairs! I think all the young people scared him. I'm a democrat but I surprisingly liked alot of what McCain had to say. He is prolife and I'm prochoice. If Hillary sneaks this nomination away from Barack - I'm voting for McCain. I'd rather suffer thru another republican then another Clinton!

One nice thing about electing an older person,,, we won't have to pay their pension as long. As much as one retired president gets a year, it matters to me.

Another stupid remark by a by the left! I wonder if they would being saying the same thing if Clinton or Obama were the same age as Mccain. Do they realize they have just insulted every person in America over the age of 70, as if they should just sit back and let the world go by! What a boob! Silly comment! And age was not going to be an issue as was sex or race.
Stop and think how silly he sounded.
Ha Ha!!

If all Mr Murtha can worry about or come up with is a problem with Mr McCain is age! I am glad. Go Mr McCain!!!! The republicans are doing great!

GO!!!!!!!!!!

In the first paragraph, there is a line that reads 'Murtha, only four years younger than McCain, said that its too much stress for a man of that age.'

Wrong! Murtha (75) is 4 years OLDER than McCain (71) And you wonder why people say the media is biased.....

Age is not that important if a person is in good shape. My objection to McCain is his temper...which he seems unable to control when the going gets tough. And believe me, the going is going to be very tough. Our country is in the worst shape since the 1920's. Between the housing crisis and the economy, related to that huge crisis, the Social Security crisis, the Medicare crisis, the crisis in Iraq and Afghanistan, we need a cool head and a sharp mind to deal with these problems.

McCain does not have that temperament.

If Murtha thinks McCain is too old then he should get out of office too. He is too fat from all the pork he's stolen from the taxpayers for his pet projects. He is one disgusting individual.

McCain is going to win the general election because contrary to what the polls say, most Americans(the voting ones at least)loves war and is itching for another one..why do you think they gave Bush a second term?WAR! They love war and McCain is gonna take us to Iran this time..WAR! lets go..VOTE McCain feel the pain and don't complain..what a shame. Wake up America!

druggstohr: are you serious...I'm not going to put my girl Hillary out there...but, what you are telling me is that OB was the candidate who made the snare remarks...wow, you really see what you want to see. I'm a dem support...and yes, I do prefer OB over Hillary...but, I would choose Hillary if she was nominated. I think people become obsess with the person instead of the issues. The media has pretty much taking over this Election and allow morons who can't see past their own A$$ to make perceived judgment about the person. But then again...instead that's their job...so they have you to thank...smooches

Murtha is an old party hack who would say anything to beat the opposition.

The Pope turned 81 years old today, and he is in firm control of the Catholic Church.

Experience does count, and McCain has more wisdom to handle American foreign policy and to keep the wolves away and at bay.

Who cares what Murtha thinks -- he's a pork-barrel washington insider who's too fat to fit in a coach airline seat. If Mr. Murtha the muckracker born in 1932 thinks John Wayne McCain is too old for president, then Murtha-booga is too old for the senate. What a moronic story.

Would you hire a 71 year old lawyer or surgeon? I do not have a problem with older people. But do we want someone that is 71 years old representing us? McCain is definately fit for his age, but he is older leaving the possiblility of his dying in office. Hope he has a good VP if that happens.

Another blogger can't get it right. Murtha is four years OLDER than McCain, not four years younger

What happened to the law against the Federal Government discriminating based on sex, religion, age, etc.? Jack Murtha is a Federal eoployee. He should know better.

thank you georgeand charlie you are one of the few journalist that have been persistant and to the point of trying to gat some yes or no answers out of all the polititions is is a shame that for 1 hour the average americans can not ask the democrats or republicins thier own quastions we must remember or troubles in this country TODAY have been brewing a long time and both canidates have been in washington a long time i guess thier eyes have been shut let get thier eyes open and get down to business to you charlie you do a fine job also you are a verry nice friendly and a good person keep up the good job to both of you abc news is my news in the evening it was nbc but you both have maid a difference this country is in verry bad shap please keep drilling these people they are trained to not give you a direct answer reguarda j g
