I don''tthink McCain is doing someting bad. People on the blog inply that he is. Why? It seems to me, from looking at the news, that McCain has the most honor and the best approach to the campaign. Maybe the people putting him down are just looking for stuff to throw at him, but I don''t buy it. McCain has good intentions and tries hard to do the right thing. Not too hard to see....

Year after year slander adds by the Republicans party runs amoke. They condem but what they really don''t.

This has been getting wrost sense Regan, the only way the win is to slander. The Republicans started it with the king of slander Joseph MaCarthy and they just never tried to go back.

MaCain you are getting desperate and so is the GOP because you know just how angry we the middle of the road are with the Republican party.

Good night and good luck.

When I was in high school, we used to have a high road. I wonder if his bus was on the same road?

Living in the south, I believe this is going to back fire on the Republican''s. Most people in this part of the country do not like this kind of thing as it puts us in a very bad light.

But I am innocent in any wrong doing. Yes I was 8 years old when Ayers was doin his terrorist thing. But now I only listen to his wise teachings. Yes I did crack when I was young but no I was never addicted to it. Yes I went to a catholic school but no way I%u2019m going to renounce my Muslim teachings and loyalty to the Jhadists! Yes I was somewhere else other than my church when 911 happened. And of course I never spoke of it to my pastor or he never spoke of it to me. I only remember vaguely two people jumpin from some God forsaken window screamin. I am Obama I keep this all inside of me. Will someone sympathize with me? My name is Barack Huessin Obama please vote for me so the people of my race teach the black children that white people keep them down in schools. I demand you vote for me! After all did not your white government inject us with aides? The chickens always come home to roost?

I''d like all REAL Republican''s to READ this... this is what your party has become. IF this kind of trash is allowed to win elections how long can we survive? We all know what happened when Rove used Swift Boats to get a VERY unqualified President a second Term... do you REALLY want more of the same?? I''m retired and have made mine. I''ve got nothing better to do than spend the next 4 years torturing that tired old man and YOUR party... it''s really up to you! Sieg Heil Bush

Hey Sparky! Hang on to your hood and sheet... just remember Your canidate agreed this wouldn''t happen.. he lied, it has.. so don''t come crying when YOU get back worse than you give. YOU should know the base of your party is KLAN through and through... When McSame can''t get from one place to the next because of demonstrations... remember he has NO money so he has to depend on PUBLIC resources... In other words he can''t hide out like the Little Nazi... anyway YOU freaks put him in this position. LOL Good luck to all you swastika huggers!! Sieg Heil Bush

blackspirit,

Good points! The media does inflame and divide.

I don''t think you can fairly judge someone on the basis of soundbites, but we all get sucked up into it from the media.

I was disgusted by Rev. Hagee''s comments about Catholics and wish McCain would be as forceful as Obama in condemning those remarks.

At the same time, I don''t think I can pass judgement on Rev. Hagee based upon a soundbite.

No need to discuss anything because according to McVet, its not important.

Obama has said he does NOT agree with what the minister says and that should be enough. YOU fascist accept that when McSame say''s it about that Nazi Minister who supports him don''t you? Guilt by association is the biggest weapon of the Klan and of Fascist... Having gone through the times the Rev refers to I can understand his hatred for a government who at times ignored them and the Terror they endured. THERE must be a price to pay though when the people putting out this video are part of the Klan... this loser and the chair of the NC Republican Party have deep roots in the klan... It''s YOUR party so you do as you will but rest assured We on the OTHER side will NOT sit by and allow another canidate to be swift boated. McSame agreed it wouldn''t happen and here it is... Ask the fascist who lived through McCarthy''s fall... it''s not worth it. Sieg Heil Y''all.

Obamas Story
Yes I did go to Rev. Wright racist church for 20 years. No I am not a racist? Yes I bought land with a Rezko deal. But I am innocent in any wrong doing. Yes I was 8 years old when Ayers was doin his terrorist thing. But now I only listen to his wise teachings. Yes I did crack when I was young but no I was never addicted to it. Yes I went to a catholic school but no way I%u2019m going to renounce my Muslim teachings and loyalty to the Jhadists! Yes I was somewhere else other than my church when 911 happened.

Only WE the PEOPLE can stop this modern day McCarthyism. When WE the PEOPLE start HURTING the canidate who benefits from this trash is it going to stop. We have so many problems in this nation and what are we talking about... what some old Black Minister said over the course of 30 years. IF we do not draw the line here the Klan will turn this into division like this nation has never seen. YOU want problems with terrorist?? Keep this kind of hatred up and you''''ll get it BIG TIME! Sieg Heil Grand Wizard!!

Just so happens McVet that the ''black minister'' as you put it, is the spiritual leader and confidante to a man who wants the American people to elect him president. So it is completely relevant. I think the American people have a right to know what Obama thinks, who he takes advice from and who he associates with. If not, then why are we debating at all? Just put up a list of people who want to be president and start the vote. No need to discuss anything because according to McVet, its not important.

crusherking,,, We agree totally on the gov not being a good steward of the tax dollar -- But differ entirely on the method to fix it ------ It takes taxes, investment in modernization, effective management, inforcement & oversite, people have to be held accountable.

Not Smaller government & Less Regulation --- That policy resulted in disaster for our government, hurt our troops & our national security as we''ve seen over the past 8 years.

Hey little religious brains - McSame has said he believes evolution is true. Does that disturb your microcephalous minds?
