Comments on: Obama Vs. McCain As Mac Vs. PC

National Review Online: The Campaign Can Be Likened To The Popular Mac Commercials

McBushSame is just one more aristocratice wealthy richboy,

just exactly like GW Bush, they both attendted private boys schools, got easy college admission thru their wealthy families,

and when the wa in Vietnam came along, they could not get away with being draft dodgers for very long , so-

their wealth families got them into piolet school to avoid seeing any combat,

mcBush just got un-lucky and bush just ran away,

Hey! thats the same way they run our country!

The main reason we will elect Obama is because McSame is out of touch with everyday folks, regardless of how hard he tries. He and Cindy are living in a different era, living the lives of elites. They are in a totally different and priviledged class compared to us everyday folks, and have no scintilla of an idea how we are struggling and trying to get by everyday. Besides, he is past the age where he can lead productively. He needs to take time off so often even during these campaign days. Haven''t we have enough of that with GW, who has had more time off or on vacation, compared to any other president in history? We don''t need another McSame who would even require more time off. To top it off, McCain has often been so forgetful that I fear he will not even remember what his job really is, should he be elected. NO, we cannot afford McSame for another four years!

the only flip flop here is the republicon party,

all swaift boat veterans for LIARS,

it is not a Mac VS a PC-

It''s Obama versus McBush

I think the Mac PC debate is fitting in another way. PCs won''''t break the bank. Macs will put you in the poor house. Personally I use to have a thing for the Commodore Amiga. I got mine in 1990 it had 4096 colors, stereo sound, 512 kilobytes of memory and a Motorola 68000 CPU. It came with synthetic voice software and I use to program it to curse. I still love electronic music because of that thing. I miss my commodore 64 too.

I think you have this wrong... have YOU looked at the National Debt right now after 8 years of McSame and the Republican''s. It''s hard to imagine how broke you folks want the nation but I''d say putting McSame''s Economic Plan in place, having to borrow ALL that additional money, would pretty much sink us.

Actually, IDNNSG got it right. Obama''s acceptance of public funds (and the restrictions that go with it) was contingent on McCain accepting public fun.

---WASHINGTON %u2014 The government''s top campaign finance regulator says John McCain can''t drop out of the primary election''s public financing system until he answers questions about a loan he obtained to kickstart his once faltering presidential campaign.
---Federal Election Commission Chairman David Mason, in a letter to McCain this week, said the all-but-certain Republican nominee needs to assure the commission that he did not use the promise of public money to help secure a $4 million line of credit he obtained in November.
---McCain''s lawyer, Trevor Potter, said Wednesday evening that McCain has withdrawn from the system and that the FEC can''t stop him. Potter, who was FEC chairman in 1994, said the campaign did not encumber the public funds in any way.

McCain did...and then didn''t.

The NRO is RWN (Right Wing Noise)

[andylance1]

The Obama campaign is suffering from infantile schnanagins. Aren''t there any grownups around?

Redesigning the presidential seal looks more like a sophomore prank. Is this a serious run for the presidency or a children''s crusade?

[element51]

toughitout...How right you are! I don''t know why I continue to read the ***** that the NRO puts out. All it does is cause my blood pressure to rise. To take a non issue like this and try to blow it up to momumental porportions is insanity. These people will float any balloon that they think might cause some weak minded morons to come over to their side. Pathetic is just another word that they aren''t familiar with. Give me a break!!!!!!

[javalation]

Obama may be the Mac, but McCain isn''t a PC, he''s a typewriter or perhaps even a quill pen.
