Politics brings out the best in people and the best of people.

How many times does McCain have to show his terrible lack of judgement or the pathetic company he keeps before people have to realize that this man will do ANYTHING to get into office before he passes. If it takes having his campaign run by corrupt lobbyisits, ok. Racists, sexist support, ok. Thousands of dead Americans over flawed intelligence, and refusing to admit failure, while trying to start yet another war, with even less factual basis to support his personal assumptions, ok. I mean forget the fact that he admittedly knows nothing of how to help the economy, which is the number one issue to virtually ALL Americans today. I mean just HOW does he expect to be elected? I just don't see it. And I'm a Republican! Why should the Democrats vote for McCain when they have one of there own? How can self respecting Republican's support a man who disagrees with virtually every position in the party's own platform? The only real people who support McCain's campaign are Democrats, and the liberal media. He is nothing but a sacrifical lamb, being led to the slaughter; And everybody knows it, to bring about the coming of the ultraliberal Obama. It would be pathetic if it wasn't so sad.

I'm a bit confussed about this one.

For starters, it's good he cancelled the event. but this seems like the kind of thing they should have known about... so who is providing them with information?

disappointing.

I'm a 43 yr old woman (former Hillary supporter) who is leaning towards Obama. I wonder if he can really pull this thing off though. The GOP has a lot of bad stuff on this guy. I've seen it on the realdealreport.com website and wonder when ABC news ,CBS, CNN, etc. will air this stuff. We'll see what happens.

I guess it did not take long for you anti-american (i.e., democrats) to continue your hate-filled postings on this site. Give me a break! Do you really think that Barry Obama's hands our clean when it comes to his choice of associates (e.g., Reverend Wright, Louis Farrakhan, William Ayres, etc...)? I think not. Frankly, it sickens me that you feeble minded morons are posting your hate-filled garbage so soon after the death of Tim Russert. I for one really view his death as a wake-up call. Life is too short to spend your time posting lunatic rants (like the ones below) on websites that nobody is reading. You people are sad and need to get a life!

Hey Donald, better McCain than a socialist tax raiser. Better an experienced voice on foriegn affairs than an empty suit. on judgement...Wright, Resko, Ayers, and on, and on, and on.

McCain is going to have a major problem with women voters. With this episode and also when they learn that McCain dumped his first wife after she became disabled in a car accident. He was in his 40s and went after women in their 20s. It's just disgusting behavior. McCain's first wife was very loyal to him and waited for his return from Vietnam. But after becoming disabled, McCain no longer found her attractive and cheated on her with many different women. This is not a man of character.

Give me a break you people talk about lapse in judgement of peoples character. Obama spent 20 years in a church that he said he never heard the message that Rev. Wright was spewing. thats a man I want running this country one that doesn't listen.

John McCain is good man who gave more then any of you would ever give to our country. He has spent years in the Senate sponsored and passed bills. Where is the legislation that Obama has written or sponsored? I may not agree with everything that McCain stands for but he is our best bet for the future of our country.

Obama needs to spend some more time in the Senate before he runs for the most powerful seat in this country. He is a fad for the moment but he is an empty suit talks about change but has no plan for how to achieve it. Wants to tax the rich and give to the middle & lower class and thinks we are stupid enough to belive this bull. Anyone with a half a brain knows that taxing the rich is indirectly taxing the middle and lower class it all trickles down hill.

Read between lines people, wake up before you vote for another Jimmy Carter.

Yes We Can... Yes We Can.

So the guy made a silly remark 18 Years ago? Who hasn't. God only made one perfect man, and the best he could do was to pick 11 out out of 12. McCain better take what help he can get. With his wacko views on Global Warming and his refusal to drill for more oil, he doesn't have many consevative supporters.

I can't believe this bull-crap.

John McCain is running the stupidest presidential race i could imagine from a Republican. Even though he was the weakest of all the republicans in the field, I at least respected his integrity, but this is ridiculous!

We have a real opportunity here republicans, DONT YOU GET IT???

Here, in a presidential race where everyone thinks that Republicans are SCREWED because of Bush's low numbers, and just assumes a Dem victory, and they BLOW IT by running OBAMA... a socialist,out of touch, elitist with NO EXPERIENCE

this was a perfect opportunity to WASTE him...but MCCAINS doing everything he can to lose

this race should be EASY to beat Obama...mccains is a war hero, and a man of integrity and obama is a total schmuck with a charlatan charm any way you look at it!

STOP WITH THIS BS -- raise some friggin money and fight back! who cares what the guy said 18 years ago!!! it was a joke, he apologized, this is just a STUPID GOTCHA but instead...just watch, MCCAINS going to give back the 300,000 bucks.

and why, because of this ridiculous oversenstivity!!

JOHN MCCAIN if you would stop castrating your own campaign and PLAY the dirty game we all know politics is, you can win! OBAMA IS NOT GOING TO TAKE IT EASY ON YOU

this election is too important to lose it over stupid crap nobody cares about like this

To paraphrase Thinking:

How many times does Obama have to show his terrible lack of judgment or the pathetic company he keeps before people have to realize that this man will do ANYTHING to get into office?

If it takes having his campaign run by corrupt career bureaurocrats like Jim Johnson, Eric Holder, Exelon executives and hedge fund managers, okay. Racists, like Revs. Wright and Pfleger, okay. Sexist support from Chris Matthews, ok.

Thousands of dead Americans over flawed intelligence, yet making there sacrifice worth nothing by admit failure and turning tail for home, while blundering into yet another war (this time with Qaddafi over Jerusalem), with even less factual basis to support his personal assumptions, ok.

I mean forget the fact that he admittedly knows nothing of how to help the economy (although his hedge fund bundlers sure do - or at least they know how to help their OWN economy!), which is the number one issue to virtually ALL Americans today.

I mean just HOW does he expect to be elected? I just don't see it. And I'm a Democrat!

Why should the Republicans vote for Obama when they have one of there own?

How can any self respecting Democrat support an inexperienced sexist racist who's surrounded himself with corrupt machine advisors?

The only real people who support Obama's campaign are naive college students, their idealistic and impractical professors, and the liberal media.

Obama is nothing but a sacrifical lamb being led to the slaughter; the first black president, set up for failure. And everybody knows it!

It would be pathetic if it wasn't so sad.

Obama has exactly zero chance of being elected President. Many white people who say they support him are doing it only to be seen as politically correct. They don't want their latte sipping, urban elitist neighbors to brand them as "neo-cons" or "right-wing bigots" for their legitimate doubts about Sen. Obama. But when it comes down to the wire on voting day, these same people will either pull the lever for McCain or will not choose any candidate for president at all. Then they will emerge from the voting booth and proclaim that they voted for Obama. When it comes down to a choice, Obama will lose big time. White people simply do not trust him to be fair to them.

The biggest knock against Obama is the Rev. Wright. Oh and Obama's wife saying something that was misinterpreted.
Who really wants to have a discusion about the rev.? Nothing he said was controversial. 9/11 and chickens coming home to roost? Blase at best.
The government infecting blacks with aids?
Some black
G.I.s.
rings a bell.
Air men no less,
yet expendable.
Drugs,
ask Ollie North.

Why don't you right wingers lay off the personal attacks and the fear mongering and give a reasoned argument for tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans and corporations and continuing the Iraq war, at the expense of our military strength, our veterans and our treasury?

C'mon...argue for your policies rather than against our candidate. I dare you.

Your hate and fear mongering will not work this time.

Obama is not worthy of talking over real issues, at least not until he clears up why he hates Hillary so much and why Trinity Church? These are not Democrats we are dealing with, this is more like a cult.

That was a WELL KNOWN quote. Seems both campaigns are getting sloppy.

What bothers me is not so much the Texas oil man's comments as the fact that McCain has an oil man who is fund raising for him. You can see that McCains's loyalty lies with Big oil and not with Americans!!!!!

Actually, I think the Obama campaign is pretty much telling the same thing about taxes. As long as we are going to raise them, you might as well lay back and enjoy it.

It's now like they are actually talking to anybody about 'reaching across the aisle' when it comes to raising taxes on us. Or 'reaching across the aisle' on energy policy. Actually, what the hell is he talking about when he says he is bipartisan? Are we supposed to know get that this is an inside joke that everybody in DC knows won't ever happen if Barry gets into the WH????

Yeah these Obama people are really pushing the issues...I didn't see them pushing the issues when Hillary was running. If you want to talk issues tell Obama to talk it over with his mentor first, Reverend Wright.
