Let's hope the ABC "town hall" has a cross section of voters -- not just GOP voters like the typical McCain "town hall."

So, who gets to invite the audience? I suspect the McCain campaign will "vet" the audience more than they vetted their vice presidential pick. Gotta make sure the "right" folks attend. Don't want to have any of those hard questions asked. And please--GS ask hard questions? He's too concerned about proving that he's not part of the so-called liberal media! He'll suck up to McCain as usual.

Anyone who voted for Bush in the last two elections and votes for McCain should be arrested for treason. You've done more to damage this country than terrorist could dream. Show me a Republican, and I'll show you a criminal.

McCain spokesman Brian Rogers said this to the Politico about the increased media scrutiny of the campaign's factual claims: "We’re running a campaign to win. And we’re not too concerned about what the media filter tries to say about it.”

who needs the truth?

Hey Republicans: did you notice that the economy is going into meltdown mode. Your ideas are bankrupt!! You guys simply do not like reality, you just want to keep your images of grandeur in your mind no matter what the results of your policies. God help us if McCain wins. Our country can't afford the price of more of the same economic policies.

So ABC offers a free hour of spin to McCain? Unless Obama agrees to their terms and McCain's on where to meet?

Nice going. Obama should get some other network to do the same for him. If ABC and George want to blackmail anyone they should just come out and say it.

McCain will tell the crowd over and over how he was a POW, what a boring meeting it wil be.

McCain still harps about Obama not going to all the town hall meeting with him. Well mabey McCain doesn't understand that Obama isn't his boy and he's running his own campaign and they have their own seperate schedule and if McCain wants to be along with Obama mabey he ought to join in on Obama's tour.

Of course Sen. McCain will be happy to do this, as Obama runs scared. McCain has asked several times for 10 town halls with BO and he runs scared, like he did with Hillary and debates.
He will never agree to take a mixed audience without scripted questions...it is one of his huge weaknesses. McCain gets in the crowd and is great at off the cuff.
Looking forward to McCain's town hall just as I did Hillary's.
HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN before PALIN!

John and Cindy McCain looked very patriotic visiting ground zero, hand in hand. Barack Hussein Obama looked like a guy who couldn't get a date to the prom. Where was Michelle Obama? Does she really hate America so much that she celebrates the terrorist attacks of 9/11 at home in a turban?

Barack Hussein Obama and his anti-American wife spent 20 years listening to spews of hatred and "God Damn America" in a so-called church of God. Apparently Michelle believes America caused 9/11. All these radical teachings have been instilled in their brains by Jeremiah Wright.

For over two decades Obama turned to, was counseled by, and formed a strong personal bond with a minister who is a divider and a hatemonger. This simply cannot effectively act as a unifying force for the USA.

The best result out of Obama's campaign may turn out to be progress in the form of all American cultures accepting that each individual, regardless of race, is to be rightfully held accountable for their actions, affiliations, as well as the doctrines that they adhere to and cultivate in others.

The embarrassing litany of anarchy, filth and hate that Rev. Wright spews should not be excused away as simply "the way our people speak". Wrong is wrong and is not to be determined on a sliding scale according to skin color.

Obama has told too many lies. He has too many ties to anti-Americans and terrorists.

Have you thought about what might happen if Obama really is a closet Muslim and becomes president?

Vote for John McCain in November. Country first!

Phil Gramm, You're the Greatest!!!

Or "How I learned to stop whining and love the Depression Years!"

777 is, I see the usual resident racist. There are so many these days.

Why not talk about how republicans have managed to utterly destroy the economy, or anything else people actually care about?

Why try to distract us with racism? We don't want your ugliness, slimebag.

Obama plays games with soldiers’ lives–to gain political advantage. According to Amir Taheri in the NY Post:

While campaigning in public for a speedy withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, Sen. Barack Obama has tried in private to persuade Iraqi leaders to delay an agreement on a draw-down of the American military presence.

According to Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Obama made his demand for delay a key theme of his discussions with Iraqi leaders in Baghdad in July.

“He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington,” Zebari said in an interview.

Obama: Ruthless cynical manipulation you can believe in.
