Good for McCain

now wouldn't it be nice if Hillary lived up to the same standard.

It's no wonder the American people get so disenchanted with politics and the motives of the politicians. Especially in these times when most people are trying to squeeze the most value of every last penney in their wallets, we have to listen to nasty comments and be subjected to negative ads in their efforts to make one another appear less appealing to us. Long before November, we will all be numb and disgusted by it all. Then they'll wonder again why no one votes!

What's the difference if the ads run now or in the fall? It's inevitable there will be many of them and they will be run over and over - maybe not by McCain's campaign but there are others chomping at the bit to let the battle begin. Obama isn't going to have a leg to stand on once the republicans get through with him. Next time around, dems might want to do some background checks on their candidates, just a piece of advice in case they ever decide they would really like to win a race. Right Howard?

Wright, Ayres, lack of patriotism, and the rest will not go away -unlike the "coolness" factor of being an Obama supporter.

The NC Republican party is the 3rd largest party in the State. Democrats are first and Unaffiliated are the 2nd. Since both of those groups are leaning Democratic this year the Republicans in state are attempting to get National attention elsewhere. The Media should ignore their petty spiteful attempts.

This Campaign isn't on behalf of McCain as some would suggest but Hillary Clinton. Why else would the Republicans be targeting Obama in an ad that is supposedly for the Gubernatorial race?

You can say what you want about Wright but the man served as a Marine. I don't agree with what he said, but if you don't think that he should have ahda the freedom to say it, then I don't know what country you think you are living in.

HRC and the Republicans know what America is; a mob. They play to base fears and insecurities to make that mob go their way. Clinton and the Republicans do not want a thinking electorate, they do not want an educated electorate, you can't control that. You cannot lie to that electorate and then pretend it doesn't matter and the mob goes along like the sheep they are. Only the Clintons and the Republicans can provide false rhetoric and have it presented as salient fact. Oh they know what America is and why America is lost.

I totally agree with this ad. Obama is too extreme for this country.

And anyone that falls for it is a damn fool. Everyone knows, if your neighbor steals a loaft of bread, the cops can't come an arrest you. Hell, you didn't steal the bread. This is the dumbest campaign season of my lifetime. They can't find anything on the candidates themselves, so they go after the people that they associate with and try to pull a gotcha. Wtf is that about? Stupid people deserve just what they get.......

Mark: I don't believe there is a creature that exists that could withstand a background check when it comes to politics. For me, I'll take Obama's "background" any day over Hillary's. That includes Rev. Wright, and all the other slams Obama's had to face recently. I am one "older, white woman" who has come to dislike Hillary Clinton tremendously and I am not looking forward to possibly having to vote for her in November if somehow she manages to get the nomination, as I have never voted republican in my life and don't intend to start now. That would be a sad, sad day.

The big problem is why Obama still go that church and continues to call this pastor his uncle.

If it had properly disassociated and apolized, may be one can consider OBama to be clean.

No person with brain can see Obama different from his pastor. Rest all are just brain washed.

counting cows,

I sooooo agree with you and Ami. The criticisms around him, involve other people. Yet, the criticisms of her involve HER! Furthermore, if we are juding these people by the people that are around them, then that makes her even less of a desirable human being. She is as tainted and flawed as anyone else. So, I agree. I will take the fact that he has some crazy people around him, over the fact that she IS crazy - not to mention morally challenged.

McCain needs to think twice before not injecting Jeremiah's sermons into the race in North Carolina. I think the nominee's character is as much or more important than the issues. Issues change but a man's character and morals do not.

Sure, Obama is expected to renounuce, reject, explain, etc. the actions of those around him and disassociate himself from those people. Yet, last time we checked, Mark Penn was still on the Clinton campaign. And, she has yet to address or REJECT him. What about her judgment? Save your typing energy, what you say won't matter.....

You all should also look at the level of crazyness of the people both are around.

Obama is a threat to the national security of this country. The people he hangs with are linked with terrorists or against USA.

No way I can see OBama running this country. I can see a moderate black not a complete liberal black running this country.

Let the Kennedy and Kerry get a lesson from the PA election.

Hillary carried Bob Casey's county by 74% vote.

No you can't get arrested for your neighbor stealing bread, but it certainly speaks to your moral character that you knowingly allowed this person to steal bread for 20 years and in the process of them doing so, influenced and hurt many people, the exact ones that you are supposedly pledging to fight for, stick up for and help.

God BLESS America!!!!

So Rev.Wright was a Marine. so was Lauren that murdered a 8 mo. pregnant fellow Marine and buried her in his back yard then fled to Mexico.. The point is ..does it really matter that he was a Marine? that didn't stop him from damming America.

dan

Yeah that is a great statement you made...
"I can see a moderate black not a complete liberal black running this country"

what exactly is the difference between a "moderate black" and a "moderate white" when choosing a President... could you see "a complete liberal white"

that would be Hillary she is not moderate(...besides threatening a country from getting Nuclear weapons with Nuclear Obliteration or massive retaliation...that is. I will keep reminding people this is not Russia and Reagan...this was not an arms race ...the point ids for them not to get them...threatening a country with nuclear attack for any reason is the fastest way to make sure they go nuclear...only an idiot or an overzealous, posing, non-experienced wannabe does that)

THIS AD WILL NOT EVEN BE IN THE INTREST OF MACCAIN HIMSELF, EITHER. IT WAS SO GOOD THAT HE REJECTED IT FROM THE START.
THEY NEED TO RUN A RESPECTFUL CAMPAIGN.

I HOPE THEY FOCUS ON REAL ISSUES. ISSUES THAT FACING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, LIKE THE ECONOMY AND SECURITY.

sjc-tx - I'm not giving him a free pass either. He is an illusionist. He and his campaign have been planning this for years. They know their base and are saying and doing anything to appeal to them. Unfortunately, when the sugar high wears off on these people, they are going to see they have been following a speech maker - not a qualified leader. But by then, we'll all be saying President McCain.
