Comments on: McCain Knocks Obama Over Public Financing

GOP Frontrunner Suggests Rival Engaging In Washington Doublespeak On Issue

Under no circumstances should McCain be allowed to give amnesty to the illegals in this country. They must return to their country and use the legal immigration route to enter the U.S. permanently.
To give blanket amnesty would create a two-headed monster.
1. What would amnesty say to the many foreigners waiting years to gain legal entry to the U.S.?
Giving amnesty to illegal aliens would be a slap in the face to them.
2. Giving amnesty would create a run on the borders by many more illegal aliens who, logically, would hope that they too, one day, would be given amnesty.
A vote for McCain is a vote for a Bush ally and more of the same.

McCain: "I don''t think Americans care if we are in Iraq for 10 years, 100 years, or 10,000 years."

Well, this Americans sure cares and if McCain would read a bit more, most Americans want an end to the civil war in Iraq. It is obvious that McCain does not have his hand on the pulse of America.

I am a 72 year old white male, veteran, and I will vote for change.
Obama in ''08.
"Yes we can".

That is the question to keep in mind when voting in the November General Election.

Your question has significant importance.

However, we no longer have the economy to support police actions that are funded entirely on tax dollars.

The other question you need to ask is how many times did McCain vote to oppose the Whitehouse during the last 7 years?

It is clear the McCain is watered down version of George Bush (Sort of like Bushlite).

If you like things the way they are, vote for McCain. If you want to change things vote for Obama.

McCain who now directs his mud-slinging at Obama, claiming more experience; yep, McCain has more experience alright, as a Bush toady, an old member of Washington''''s "good ole boys" club. Unfortunately for McCain, that is not what the people want, they want change, something that McCain cannot provide.

ON A NEUTRAL GROUND:
WHO WOULD MAKE A BETTER PRESIDENT ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS?
JOHN MCCAIN, who has Military Experience
OR
OBAMA, a young dazzler, with no Military Record

You be the Judge of that.

The global picture is crucial at this time in history.
America must look beyond its borders.
There will always be problems at home. That does not matter.
What will this "change" ,so spoken here, do to the world picture and the position of power The United States has long maintained?

That is the question to keep in mind when voting in the November General Election.

Now we are supposed to feel sorry for a candidate who represents the GOP!! Its too bad bush is not able to try for a third term. In this match up he would set a record for loss margin.

I have respect for John McCain and its really a shame he is going to be the focus of our anger at Bush and the GOP for what they have done to our country. Lets make an exception to the rules and let Bush run so he can take the beating he really deserves!

Go Obama!!!!!

[candide777]

McCain is simply another tool (like Bush) being used by the repuglican party to commit fraud one more time on this country. Bush is no more president than the Queen is Prime Minister, and McCain will be controlled by the same group of thugs that throw Bush a treat when he rolls over on command. Wake up, America.

[downsteamjim]

McCain Feingold etc. has been enacted to limit the amount of money in elections. The only thing that was limited was freedom of speech. Look at the amount of money spent especially the devious 527''s. All contributions should be allowed, but who gave what needs to be public record.

[truthspeake2]

I know not everybody can be Obama when it comes to delivering a speech but John"more of the same"McCain is like watching paint dry. What''''s worse is that everything he says is right out of the old, tired Republican play book. Wake up..the Republican party is dead for now. You can thank Bush for that.

Great post and I agree that GW messed things up for his entire party for at least the next 8 years. McCain will probably get that 25% that continues to admire GW but McCain will, like Bob and Elizabeth Dole, go the way of the dinosaur. McCain and his wife can go and count their $$$ at their ranch in Sedona AZ and look after her inheritance her father left her (Helmsley Liquor Distribution) here in Phoenix...he''s done, and he has GW to thank for it...but nobody''s talking about that though.
