"when you take something out of context, call it your own, . . . . . .plagerism?

And, sure enough, the media plays along with free coverage.

Priceless.......

If Hillary Clinton really will get us out of the Middle East she should run as an independent and she would win.

Obama and his promise to get us out of the middle east was JUST WORDS and POLITICAL RHETORIC.

McCain I beleive would give us out of the middle east honorably and get us out faster than the quagmire Obama wants over their

I love the ad! I think its a GREAT idea to have these well-known democrats giving praise to President McCain! McCain has always been bi-partisan.

The McCain campaign is incredibly childish. And desperate. He is basicaly the incumbent and he cannot break 41% in the polls.

I don't know about either candidate honestly but I know we can't continue to follow Bush's policies. While I respect McCain he really doesn't seem that different from Bush and his policies. As far as the economy I don't think the republicans have the average middle class American in mind so not sure why people still think that they can provided answers for the funk they helped put this country in.

They praised McCain back 5 to 10 years ago when he was "Maverick" and not the empty suite he is today.
Boy you guys will get excited over some of the smallest stuff.

As for Hillary Clinton: I voted for her here in Florida and always respected her and her husband. I was rooting for her to get the VP spot, but not anymore. Their conduct in this week has made me lose respect for her. If i was a childish as McCain, i would have asked her to return my campaign donation.

Cool World: LOLL McCain is one who put us in the middle east. It is like McCain vs. McCain. You people need to open wide your eyes.

Unfortunately he is temperamental and has severve senior moments. We can't afford him to lead our loved country.

Al,I respectfully say maybe you need to find out more about the candidates. McCain is and has always been a Maverick. He'll break from the republicans and stand for what he believes in. He is no Bush. Actually, Obama is starting to show many Bush-like traits. As far as the economy my retirement accounts have been soaring the past several years, it has just been in this past year that they've been coming down. Let's see, can we honestly blame the republicans for everything that goes wrong? I was so thrilled when the dems took over two years ago, needless to say, that thrill was short lived. Everyone gets credit for our current state of affairs.

Mcain wasnt that bad 8-10 years ago but NOW he has sold his soul to the evil bush,Do remember cynics there have been republicans to praise obama HAGEL,PAWLENTY, GOV ARNOLD S, ETC!!

"And what Repubs been complimenting Obama lately. Let's see: Pawlenty, Palin, Hagel, Lugar...anyone can play this game."

This works well for McCain. Obama and democratics are trying to push this "same as Bush" false notion and act like McCain does not have a bipartisan history so I think this is very effective. I think it's amusing how Obama has the most liberal voting record, has never taken a bipartisan approach to an issue where he takes any political risk or spends political capital, yet tries to be labeled as the unifier and bipartisan candidate.

If democrats had nominated a moderate democrat they would win in a landslide due to the political climate but once again democratic leadership insists upon nominating a left wing radical which will once again fail. You'd think they would have learned in 2000 and 2004 but I guess to the leadership taking a risk is worth getting a left winger into the white house.

For all those hopping on the Boone Pickens train I hope you have looked into his history. He is a billionaire from oil, but he is smart enough to see with the oil industry being the current american industry under attack from democrats he needs to diversify his holdings. He has invested heavily into wind and other alternative energies to make several more billion. He has been using some very underhanded techniques to achieve his goals but because wind power is trendy and "green" politicians on both sides are turning a blind eye.

The site I link is very opinionated and anti global warming so keep that in mind, but it is a very good starting point and analysis of Boone Pickens. Take it as you will and make up your own mind as to the validaty and purpose of his energy plan.

wah, wah, wah! Look at all these crybaby Obama supporters complaining about some positive attention for once that the media is giving McCain! YOu are just so sensitive that anything negative about Obama, you call it "biased"! It is very well known that Obama gets much more attention than McCain! How many news anchors accompanied McCain on his european trip???

And, STOP , with the race card already! It's called freedom of speech...we are allowed to criticize Obama without being racists, and we are allowed to NOT VOTE for him without being racists! Americans are sick of these accusations, and will fight back at the polls, Obama is clearly dividing America with his race card politics!!

I thought that McCain thought that working across the isle was bad? When Obama recently said he would be willing to compromise on off-shore drilling in order to get bi-partisan support the McCain camp lambasted him as a "flip-flopper". So what is it McCain, it bi-partisanship only good when you do it, and bad when Obama does it?

Yes McCain is one of the good guys. I wanted Hillary but now I will be voting for McCain. The democratic party has been hijacked by extremists.

I think McCain is ready to be president. Obama has only been a Senator for what? Two years or so? Since when is a man ready to be CEO of a company when he only has two or so years of experience? At the least, a governor would have more experience since his state government is a microcosm of what the Federal government is. But a Senator of only two years? Do you really think he is ready just because he has charisma? Hugo Chavez has loads of that and look what he is trying to make his country into - another Cuba!

a good move.... mccain is bringing up two issues at one: years of experience and willingness to work with democrats.

Nelson
Mccain has been in senate for 25 years what has he done for our energry war in iraq, jobs, healthcare, education, etc if his 25 years experience of voting NO or barley showing up to vote at all i will take the less experience anyday!!!

All the "living under a rock" bloggers who consistently accuse Sen Obama as being a Muslim: Watch out, a storm is coming and you will be washed away into the storm drain. Your lungs will absorb the sand and water and you will surely drown - still hating and still misinformed. tsk, tsk, tsk...

The media is propping up McCain like
" Weekend at Bernie's "

Both parties have been hijacked by neo-cons and neo-libs however I can not in my right mind vote for a socialist who seems more concerned about redistribution of wealth to the "world citizens" than the interests of americans. It's too bad that a lot of liberals have been replaced by the faith based idealist eutopia that the neo-libs embrace above everything else. Neo-libs have lost the tolerance, open mindedness, rationality and ability to see multi faceted bipartisan issues that classic liberals possessed. Even though I didn't agree with liberal idealogy I could respect it. Modern neo-libs I lump more in with religious conservatives who base their politics on religion/faith rather than logic and reason.

McCains response to the race card was great. In my opinion there is no question this is exactly what Obama was doing just like he pulled it on Clinton several times. McCain showed he isn't going to take that garbage and end up being on the defensive about race but will keep it out of the election as it should be. Racism is wrong no matter your skin color or nationality.

Either one would be better than what we have now.

It's McCain vs McCain . He is a legend in his own mind.

McCain has a history of practicing bipartisanship.

Obama has a history of talking about bipartisanship

Why does McShame put out ads that are all lies. He is a Bush clone. Bush lied all the time and started a war the McShame supported.

8 year old quotes, that's before McBush sold his soul for the white house, trashed any values he ever had and became a joke. Why doesn't he go back to the 70's, I'm sure he can dig up SOMETHING good about himself from then.

McBush, McShame...

Yeah, those comments sound like they were made by 8-year-olds.

Hillary2012 - It will never happpen. She will be too old like McShame.

Cryos: News Flash, McCain played the race card not Obama... It has been proven, Repubs are walking away from McCain as of today because of his actions or lack of them.

I watched one of McCains town hall meeting a few weeks ago, he told those people that "Obama did not look like any other president on the dollar bill" McCain said that, NOT Obama. My first thought was "why because he is black" my second though was "how low can McCain go". Pretty low I guess.

The Arizona senator is running a barnyard demeaning campaign even comparing Senator Obama to Paris Hilton, lying about Obama's record of visiting our wounded warriors and lying about Obama playing the "race card." Denouncing the new Dirty Politics McCain, McCain's own former strategist, John Weaver said to Newsweek: "Its hard to imagine America responding to 'small ball' when we have all these problems."

McCain is going to lose this election. And the way he loses will take the Republicans down with him.

As a former Republican activist who, as late as 2000, was campaigning for John McCain against Bush, today I am a dedicated supporter of Senator Obama. Yes, I changed my mind. But that isn't the point. My point here is to ask how the Republicans will define themselves by the means they use to try to define and defeat Obama.

McCain is the most arrogant candidate out there.

McShame praised Obama at the NNACP convention a month ago. So who paaised who?

That's fine. If they want to replay good examples of the civility of the Democrats, more power to them!

GJohn,

Sorry buddy but your not fooling anyone about being a former Republican voting for Obama. The republicans and many democrats are voting McCain this year. Obama was in the senate for 1 year before he started running for president. He voted "present" on over 100 issues in that 1 year that he was in the senate instead of voting "for" or "against" the issues. He has changed his position on almost every issue since he has been running for president. No one believes a word of what this guys says or even knows where he stands.

A Democrat who is paying attention.

They praised McCain back 5 to 10 years ago when he was "Maverick" and not the empty suite he is today.

Yea, find a Dem that will praised the old man today not 5 to 10 years. Mcshame ads all reach too far from the truth. Like I said, McShame just praised Obama at the NNACP a month ago not 5 to 10 years ago. Nice try, but to far of a reach. McShame is seen today as an old out of touch angry man who is so jeaslous of Obama press coverages so day after day the McShame machine keep putting out fault ads about Obama just to get some media coverage. How sad for the McShame campaign.

Praise MacCain! give me a break. This is my slogan: "Give MacCain a cane." He wouldn't even survive a full 4 year term. The man is too old. Hello!!

If John Kerry would have fought back for himself like he is doing for Obama, he would have beaten Bush. McCain HAS changed. His campaign has turned nasty and irrelevent. Problem is, this negative stuff works on the naive American voters.

WHAT????? Politics? Is there going to be an election.....

AKA: Who CARES! They're all crooks in their own way.

Love it!

Anyone who claims to be a Democrat for McCain is a liar. No Democrat or for that matter Anyone with an IQ over 75 would vote for a lying, cheating, incompetent, power mad slimeball like McCain. He was never a real Hero, not like those who actually did heroic things like save others lives. READ his book, he thinks we should have ignored the POW's and then we would have won Vietnam. Our soldiers are completely expendable and so are you.

This getting ridiculous – everyone is acting like they have a choice in the presidential election and they might have had one, if Hilary Clinton won her parties nomination. But she didn’t and you have a well spoken man who has never done anything with a very few friends for he has disowned most of them for political reasons only.

We are electing the President of the United States not a pretty boy and a great debater. You must bring something to the party like a resume DUH. There is no comparison between McCain and Obama when comes down to their life’s work. NONE

Sad but true you have no choice – you can take your polls and listen to the press but in the end when make that vote the majority will vote McCain for there is no other choice.

McCain acts like he is running for homecoming queen. It's all personality and zingers. But McCain is playing with fire, he has caved to the right and no longer is a "maverick", isn't talking to the press any more, and there is still that problem of calling his wife the c-word, and Asians g**ks. The Democrats can use all this at any time. He is disgusting and more than a little envious.

Hillary wouldn't "get us out of the middle east" any sooner than the next person. That was all just campaign stomp speech rhetoric.

These posts are funny. Where do you guys get your facts from? I want all the obama supporters to write their comments down, go bury them in the yard, and dig them up after the elections.

You can look at all the polls you want, obama is not going to get elected. The dems have a magical ability to choose unelectable candidates. Thanks guys!

Didn't people try to vote for "change" 2yrs ago? Look at what we have now, a democratic congress that would rather take vacation then try and solve anything. Yeah what a great "change." Yet, there are still people that believe Obama's change will be good for America. I am sorry, a socialist is never good for America. He will not help unite party lines, he will cater to his party as much as he can, especially since they are in charge right now. He may say things to persuade you to vote for him, but look at his record, its nothing to brag about. I hope America will open its eyes to the real Obama.

wanger says Obama is a "race card player" yet its wanger that brings up race over and over and over again. Who's the race card player again? I think it's people like wanger that continue to bring race comments into the blog conversations.

So he's now using the respect of his peers against them...We call that "burning bridges" where I'm from.

NEW LETTER TO SENATOR BARACK OBAMA

Laval, August 6, 2008

SENATOR OBAMA

"It is in adversity", I was going to say in "darkness", that one recognizes true friends.

Energy of the Sixties tested, confronted by Todays's Energy crisis, what does Science hold for us in this field at the crossroad of the third millennium?

Each of us should express solidarity, according to his means

My contribution, apparently futuristic, refers, Senator Obama, to an inexhaustible source of energy, which one should tame now.

In a book with limited publication, translated in English for the needs of the cause, entitled "BILL A RI And There Was Light", addressed during his last American election campaign to President Bill Clinton who acknowledged having received it, I dared to tackle this subject.

It's like to say to you, Senator Obama, that in the exceptional circumstances in which we lives today - in the point of view of energy - no exploration in the mid or long term, by the american expertise , of an additional source of energy, at the same time safe and profitable, should not be ruled out.

There is no witchcraft at all involved in all that, Mister Obama. In spite of my Haïtian ascent and my carefully phrased remarks. It is undoubtedly so when a taboo should be broken through A taboo of magnitude, Sir, I admit it. A "scientific" taboo, seldom encountered.

" The taboo arises as a negative categorical imperative," affirms Roger Caillois. It is not saying little. Especially when it is a question of adequately correcting the theory of Newton on light and colors.

However, at the dawn of the twenty first century, to denounce this taboo, to reverse it, should I say, what an asset! Moreover, at the same time the multiple taboos grow blurred which surround another phenomenon of the highest scientific range, the well known phenomenon under the abusive name of "Black Holes", synthesis of light and colors. Indeed Newton, in good faith undoubtedly in his time, really reversed the interpretation of the phenomenon of light. He took the part for the whole ! So much and so well that today like yesterday, the visible appears so much more tempting. Physicists say it: "ninety to ninety nine percent of the matter of the universe is made up of a dark matter, invisible, which generates, propels and surrounds the visible, like the sea surrounds the continents". Scientists such as Stephen Hawking affirm it. The Hubble Telescope confirms it. But theoretical Optics is stagnant.

My intervention, here, Senator Obama, would mean that. It is possible to use another form of energy. By decoding the Black Matter.Without a play on words. Theoretically initially. While "returning the elevator to Newton"- without a play on words. By the ACT which consists in making an AMENDMENT TO THE LAW OF NEWTON ON LIGHT AND COLORS.

Presently, why should we take the result instead of the cause?

— Objectively and in a pragmatic way, by a new synthesis.

Consequently, what a liberation !

At the threshold of the third millennium, let light live, invisible by synthesis, visible by analysis !

"Synthesis and analysis are two wings of the same bird, the rythm of the universe`s heartbeat, tamed inside the infinitely small having mass. Successively contracted and deployed. In the benefit of humanity."

One small step for Man, one giant leap for Mankind - I also said myself - in "BILL A RI and there was light !... "

Unfortunate, yes, but how much a convenient Energy crisis if I dare say, which invites us to explore other avenues, other concepts and, therefore, other resources so far neglected.

Invitation to go from the invisible to the visible and vice versa. Taking advantage of the sequence of colorless and colored luminous speeds. In order to better understand the Universe. Where Law and Order prevail. Just like in Democracy !

Energetic formula with a unique character !

In the name of Science and Technology, vapor is being reverse !

A winning formula !

In The United States Of America

By The United States Of America

For The United States Of America and abroad !

With you today, Senator Obama, I repeat this sentence - since 1972 and 1978 - that is to say forty years old, but always, in my opinion, carrying the same message that I wish more and more positive for the years to come, in the third millennium, as I said since 1972 and on April 10, 1978, in a Letter to Doctor Carl Sagan:

"On the cosmic scale as on the terrestrial scale, darkness or blackness forms an integral, sine qua non part, of color and light pocess".

Is it still broad daylight
in the shadow of the black sun?

Yours truly,
Lucien BONNET

You can't support Bush 91% of the time and still be a mavrick!

McCain = Bush.

Okay, Pepper, "McChameleon" is by far the worst and most pathetic use of the "Mc" prefix so far...

What's next? "McCain? Why, his real name should be McCaineMutinyCharacterCaptainQueeg!"

"McChameleon" actually ranks up there with "Obambi" which is equally ridiculous and bad.

No matter how much he protests, McCain is GWB in every aspect of his policies. Seriously I truly believe that if McCain is elected. his will be the last presidency of the United States. He will continue to destroy the constitution and send our young to war. At some point the American people will have to overthrow the the government. - 200+ years and look at what has happened. Tragic

Obtaining quotes of praise someone said about someone else from years past means what? Things change over time as we all should know. I'm sure there is a treasure trove of comments of praise the U.S. once gave to former friends and allies like - Iraq, Iran, Venezuela to name a few. Hmmm... what would we say about them now?

We're in the here and the now.

Hi? Did you upgrade to the new ObamaOS 3.0? It makes you sound less paranoid and sound more intelligent.

OBAMAAAAA 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-8!

I think it's interesting to note that before McCain was the Republican nominee, the Democrats loved him - he was praised as a senator who often worked across party lines and cared more about issues than party politics (one of the reasons why conservatives don't like him). Now that he is the Republican nominee, people seem to overlook his history of working with both parties and lump him in the same category as George Bush (who, coincidently, bad-mouthed him and made nasty insinuations against him during the 2000 primary season).

McCain is a puppet and his handlers are the neo-cons. Open your eyes!!! We will be at war again if this man wins... The Middle East better start resolving their own problems, such as stop building on disputed land and sit at a table and negotiate...Why are we being held hostage for the Middle East troubles??? Don't we donate enough of our money? Apartheid is alive in the Middle East and we are the "Ugly American" behind the whole thing. Then we wonder why people hate us...

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

I know that some of you don't like to read long drawn out messages ...so here's the executive summary.........

Congress Military

McCain 26 years 22 years

Obama 143 days 0 years

Summary Concluded.

McCain is rallying the conservatives again by showing how much the liberals love him.

Barr '08

Who else thinks it's time to dissolve the electoral college? It's time the people make their own choice and not leave such an important position up to the discretion of those who are more fortunate or more connected.

Summary Concluded.

Jeff, you are a tool if you think both sides don't change stances. Are you that naive? If Mccain wants to keep jobs here, why would he vote no on repealing tax subsidy for companies which move US jobs offshore?

Changing your mind is a step toward progression, not recession you retard. Christ, there are too many idiots in the U.S. that feed into this crap. Pull a couple facts off of a web site and you know it all huh?

From Stan:
Al,I respectfully say maybe you need to find out more about the candidates. McCain is and has always been a Maverick. He'll break from the republicans and stand for what he believes in. He is no Bush.

----------------------------------
Stan, you are right to advise people to really, really study the candidates. It is harder to do that with Obama b/c his voting record is thin. But, if you study what is there and his off moment comments you can learn some things. McCain on the other hand has lots of votes on record. I certainly don't agree with all of them, but he does at least have a record to examine. One thing that should be noted is that McCain did vote against Bush's economic plan and Obama voted for it. I am still trying to figure out which way to go. I am a FIERCE Independent .... and quite honestly, I don't understand why ALL Americans aren't Independents. Maybe that would help break gridlock in Washington. To my utter disappointment, I find most people vote party not person.

Does Oprah Winfrey have "The Obama Nation" on her book of the month club list.

It is a #1 best seller.

Al Johnson, your response, "That's when the truth is spoken, separate from political bias."

to linda in Carolina:
"Sound bites 5 and 8 years old"

your claim is that back then when Obama, Hillary, and Howard made those comments, made them because they weren't trying to win an election. But the truth is that they made those comments because back then John McCain's stand on many issues more closely related to the Democrats' stand. But he has changed his stand on many of the same issues and now alighns himself almost identically to GW's administration which we know has been a pathetic failure.

Are you sure that McCain was for aparthied and against MLK? This democrat didn't know that. I'm voting McCain.

Missy M - McShame turned people against him by the way he is running his campaign. He is running a very nagative compaign that most people don't like.

McCains own people are turning on him.

The Arizona senator is running a barnyard demeaning campaign even comparing Senator Obama to Paris Hilton, lying about Obama's record of visiting our wounded warriors and lying about Obama playing the "race card." Denouncing the new Dirty Politics McCain, McCain's own former strategist, John Weaver said to Newsweek: "Its hard to imagine America responding to 'small ball' when we have all these problems."

But that isn't the point. My point here is to ask how the Republicans will define themselves by the means they use to try to define and defeat Obama.

Cryos: I saw the town hall meeting on CNN about 3 or 4 weeks ago. Go ahead find it yourself. You would not believe it if you watched it yourself. You will just say the station inserted the words. I am just a normal voter looking for the truth and facts of both before I place my vote. At least I try to get the facts before my mouth runs, unlike you.

Some of the comments here have gone a little far afield. Returning to the original article, Kerry tries to get out of his original praise of McCain by saying he has changed. Typical politician. The "change" is that the Democrats are now running against him. Clinton and the other Democrats criticized Obama until he won the nomination - now he is the best thing since sliced bread. Nothing but spin. I would, however, accept their original praise of McCain because they didn't have an axe to grind at that time.

And politicians wonder why we have such a low opinion of them!

Obvioulsy just joking. Folks could tell I'm not a democrat. Not enough misspelled words.

Congress Military

John McCain 26 years 22 years years

Barrack Obama 143 years 0 days days

Question: Would you let a Doctor operate on you who has only 143 days of Med School? - - -

Then what qualifies Hussain Obama for the task of running this great nation with same amount of experience.

AMEN!!

Why would thinking Americans vote for either of these clowns???

McCain and Obama say we cannot deport 12 million illegal aliens.
WE DON’T HAVE TO…
1.Restrict all access to housing.
2.Restrict all access to jobs.
Illegal aliens will go back to their home countries the way they came, without government assistance.

QUESTION: Why would an American vote for any politician who could not figure this out for themselves?

THINK ABOUT VOTING LIBERTARIAN.

Just read the article about McCain shills populating the blogs. I wondered what the motivation was for people to spread the republican lies, should have known it was for money. The corruption party spreads itself into every aspect of American life. From now on, if someone defends McBush, it can be assumed they're being paid.

John McCain has never worked a day in his life, the taxpayer has supported him for 48 years, and will continue to work to support him for the rest of his days. Rather a parasite, don't you think?

Good ad! I think it's going to get some points for Mr. McCain! Keep it up, GOP! You got the Dems on the run!

I have been to Barnes and Nobles three times, called around to all the bookstores, and they can't keep this book on the shelf! I want a copy, but guess will have to order. Amazon has it on backorder. Must be that folks are tired of Obama and his lies and now are searching for the truth. I heard the book was "lawyered" so all the facts, over 600 references are true. With this book, McCain climbing in the polls and Obama falling, and the onslaught of Hillary and her supporters, doesn't look good for Obama...and, where is he....on vacation in Hawaii! LOL!

V Racer,

you said "Obvioulsy just joking. Folks could tell I'm not a democrat. Not enough misspelled words."

everybody mispells, and everybody makes typos, look at your own post. Or do you think thats how to spell obviously is spelled.

McCain is no American Hero. I wish the Viet-congs had kept him over there. He was and still is an American Disaster. He is everything a president should not be. what has he accomplished by himself? Absolutely nothing. He only got as far as he did in the Navy because of his father and grand father. He only got as far as he did in politics because of his wifes money. Give me a break, this guy is the biggest joke(besides Bob Dole)to ever run for President. Nah, He a bigger joke then Bob Dole. -------------------Obama 08

gl - People have left Obama's campaign too and Democrats are certainly not united behind him either. Both Obama and McCain are both running negative campaigns - both are typical politicians who say one thing and do the other. The difference between the two is that McCain has a long voting history from which we can get a very accurate picture of his policies. Obama rarely stays in one place more than a few years so it is difficult to gauge his true political agenda (campaign promises are nothing more than campaign promises - they mean nothing). Perhaps if Obama had a few more years in the Senate, the picture would be a little more clear.
