Could you let us know just how many people are attending Obama's town hall meetings.

His speech is posted on real clear politics. Obama is an economic moron. He said tax cuts incurred billions of dollars in debt.

McCain's own 19 year old son served in Iraq.

How dare Obama. Obama never served.

McCain has visited Walter Reed dozens of times. Obama has been there once.

Obama called McCain's grandfather and father elitists because they were admirals.

Obama wants it both ways.

Obama wants to keep u.s troops going after al queda and guarding the embassy.

You need troops guarding the airport. You need troops for supply lines.

A top Obama advisor said you would need 60,000 troops and Obama is just talking politics.

McCain has said he is for Petreaus making more troop cuts in Iraq.

McCain has said he will turn over the areas to the iraqis and bring our troops home and have the iraqis deal with the insurgency.

McCain has said the cost will go down as troops come home.

Agree or not at least Obama is talking about the issues while McCain is making personal attacks with old news & going after VP vetters, like his team is squeaky clean.

So what, Obama wants to go back into Afghanistan, Pakistan and is mute on invading Iran. It's a freakin' shell game. You are being duped folks! And as for tax cuts. When was the last Democrat that cut taxes. (Clinton doesn't count, he was fiscally conservative, remember... Pay down the debt, DENY benefits, ring a bell?)

I'm sure it was important to McSame and his family when he was in Vietnam..

The first couple of comments on here are so wrong...lol

Yes McCain's son has now served a tour of duty but Mccain's point of view on this does not represent the rest of the soldiers families.

McCain was raised as "Lieutenant Dan."

My granddaddy fought my da fough I gfought...my son will fight.

well most of the soldiers didn't sign on for the glory of the battle...

they signed on to protect America and make them safer...but they also signed on thinking the US government would be remembering they are human not just a soldier.

Their is a problem when a man who said before the war over and over that "Bush should level with the people that this is going to be long, expensive and hard" and STILL wanted to go.

McCain expected this and STILL thought we should go to Iraq.

and for the mor*n that doesn't understand that the wealthy tax cuts (and this war)have put the burden on the rest of us and our infrastructure...not to mention our safety and our fiscal viability in the world... and we have had to borrow from China... yes those tax cuts cost most of us.
well I said it...you are that.

DEAR JOHN MCCAIN JUST A LITTLE MESSAGE TO YOU AND YOUR PAID BLOGGERS I AM A WHITE 37 YEAR OLD WORKING MIDDLE CLASS WOMAN AND I LIVE IN PA AND YOU MY FRIEND WILL NEVER GET MY VOTE AND NEVER WIN MY STATE NEVER OH BY THE WAY IM ALSO INDEPENDENT SO THIS 37 YEAR OLD WHITE INDEPENDENT WORKING MIDDLE CLASS WOMAN WILL NOT BE VOTING FOR MCCAIN AND I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE!!!!!!!!!!

There is no question that the national debt is 3 trillion dollars more than it was after Clinton. Bush alone is responsible for every penny of it.

As far as the Reagan voo-doo economic plan of 'tax cuts for the wealthy will drip down to the lower classes' was proven a falacy long ago. To think that Bush's version of the same plan is what has been the reason for economic growth in a nation full of unemployed people is just another falacy.

Think about it, if any of it were true, then why are we in the mess we are in? If all the tax cuts are what is holding the economy together, then why is the economy in a recession.

The next question is; If the economy recovers because of the tax rebates to the middle class, then doesn't it prove the tax cuts to the rich do nothing, but giving tax cuts to the middle class do? Which of course is Obama's point.

Nat Turner, you are disrespecting yourself by trying to disrespect U.S. servicemen and John McCain's service in the United States Armed Forces.

Are you a neo-socialist too, like Obama, Jeremiah Wright, and Louis Farrakahn?

bush was suppose to have a 5 trillion surplus, and now were 3 trillion in debt

the first posters are so out of touch its no wonder why they back john mccain for president

nat turner isnt disrespecting servicemen hes responding to you people who keep throwing service into our faces

you cant claim that being a serviceman or women somehow admonishes you from doing no harm or being wrong or being out of touch

nat turner was saying sometimes service men arent all they cracked up to be

SO QUIT THROWING IT IN OUR FACES AS IF ITS SOME KIND OF ULTIMATE TRUMP CARD

im sure all of you loved swiftboating KERRY

david

mccain has said removing troops isnt all that important

he wants to keep people there until there are no casualties

do you konw when that magical time will be... closer to 100 years or no?

hey redneck, i guess you cant do math can you? 2210 is the total delegate count possible :( but you are right they halved MI and FL so that gave it some other magic number.

however, if you would like to go count obamas delegates now if you can find that number still, he went way over both magic numbers.

im guessing you didnt watch the DNC deliberations?

the purpose of that meeting was to decide if they (the states, the candidates, and the DNC) could agree on some sort of resolution. Previously it was going to count for nothing. what they found from those meetings and if youll take note of the vote real fast

13 hillary supporters, 9 obama supporters, and 6 uncommitted DNC members. FL vote was passed with full support of teh states decision on what to do with the delegates.

The michigan deal passed with only 8 votes against, if you count up the hillary supporters youll see that 5 of them agreed with the STATES decision on how to fix the problem... there was no cheating here get some new talking points.

im guessing you are a republican trying to garner sympathy from supposed disillusioned democrats... namely hillary supporters...

well what has mccain done for women? what will he do for women care and womens rights?

McCain/Bush policy will no longer be americas!!!

Anyone that thinks McBush knows about the economics of this war is a moron. These right wing neo-nuts will spend any amount if it comes to war. They let the real elite convince them that money for any thing domestic is tax and spend. THIS COUNTRY NEEDS REBUILDING!!!! Neo-Nuts grow a pair!!!!

If you listen to the experts[media pundits] they will tell you those early polls DON'T MEAN NOTHING right now.
Check out the polls after labor day.
Whites had not even voted yet-not even on primaries and caucuses.

JOHN McCAIN '08

Rich or well to do or successful people can already afford to buy the things they want: They don't spend any more money when they get tax breaks, or incentives. Obama isn't the economic moron. In fact, McCain is the self-admitted economic moron.
