I agree. Raging dishonesty is a theme the ''cons have to stick with, or else they might lose their Hypocrite Badge. Cowards.

I work with more than one racist, openly saying they won''t vote for a black guy. I pretty much tell them they have some kind of mental disorder. One guy said BO is moslem, and i pointed out to him that he''s been sucked in by a comedy routine, "It''s a joke!". All that and more...

Obama8years, JohnBush2

Seems like you guys not only lie, you lack the courage of your convictions. You are sorry advertisements for McCain, if you''re representative samples of his supporters.

I have spoken out and worked openly for Obama. I have also registered voters regardless of their political views. I believe in a political system that has at least two parties, so they can keep one another in check and honest. The six years of lies and corruption when Republicans had full control of government should have been enough to convince any skeptic of the truth about absolute power corrupting absolutely.

So you guys would lie on polls, and lie to your co-workers, and lie about the positions of the candidate you oppose. What a sad commentary on your values.

CHANGE does not happen with one election, one individual!
CHANGE can only come with time, not now.
CHANGE is good, changing the world is not the answer.

So, realistically, who is the better candidate? (don''t think change cuz its not gonna happen)
You get the picture, thanks

I am telling the truth here. If I was asked by a pollster which candidate I supported, I would say Obama to avoid being labeled a racists. But on election day I would vote for John McCain. That is what many people are secretly disclosing to me. The results of the Presidential elections are going to shock many liberals who rely on the polls.

Every day, there seems to be a new example of Barack Obama''s Peoples Temple-like grip on otherwise (semi) rational people. What began as a political phenomenon borne of a particularly charismatic figure has turned into a creepy and possibly malignant force. It is the Obama Hypnosis.

I have to laugh if anyone thinks McCain will be accepted by any middle eastern nations as an acceptable leader.

Remember "Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran..."

While Obama was organizing a rock concert in Berlin, John McCain was down on the ground listening and talking to the average American.

While Obama was in Germany with dreams of being leader of the whole world, John McCain was on the ground grateful to have the chance to lead this nation.

I don''''t want a megalomaniac as my President. I want someone who cares about the concerns of the average citizen. I want John McCain as my President.

That''s fine, but your original post was an out and out lie, and I called you on it.

Jews who used to vote overwhelmingly for Democrats don''t trust the Democratic candidate this time.
How can Jews trust Hussein when all his best buddies and close advisers are anti-semitic.

Jews are voting for John McCain, a man they know they can trust.

For those who are against ILLEGAL immigration, remember, he''''''''s the one who will give amnesty and possibly not secure our borders.

Again, research the facts before you vote!

I vote for MCCAIN!

Obama''s approach to immigration is almost a carbon copy of McCain''s; it''s one of the few areas that they basically agree. NEITHER ONE IS ACCEPTABLE TO ME, BUT DON''T THROW MUD ON OBAMA ALONE, SAVE SOME FOR MCCAIN!

Why not just admit that you don''''t like him because he''''s a Democrat, or because you don''''t like his policies, instead of resorting to slimy character assassination tactics.

That''s fast becoming their only way of expressing their opinions. McCain can''t win on the real issues, so scare tactics and mudslinging are the weapons of choice.

Ariel133:

You have repeatedly shown your willingness to stretch the truth or lie to further your own political agenda. According to people that worked with Obama in his community outreach programs:

"Nobody else running for president has jumped off the career track for three or four years to help people," said Jerry Kellman, who first hired Obama as a community organizer.

Obama also fought for student summer jobs and a program to keep at-risk children from dropping out of school. More importantly, say those who worked with Obama, he showed people how to organize and confront powerful interests.

"He had to train residents to stand up for their own rights," said former organizer Loretta Augustine-Herron, who was part of Obama''s Developing Communities Project.

Why not just admit that you don''t like him because he''s a Democrat, or because you don''t like his policies, instead of resorting to slimy character assassination tactics.

Hopefully, intelligent Americans will chose the next President on substance, not oratory. If one looks at Obama''''s record as both a State and U.S. Senator, one will see Obama has done little, if anything.

What exactly did he do as a community organizer? Yes, he is an excellent speaker when the teleprompter is on. Listen to the Senator answer questions....where is the "smoothness" in his replies?

How is he going to give everyone everything he promises?

How is he going to deal with real adversity (terrorists) when he''''s afraid to appear on certain so called "conservative" television?

For the wealthy, liberal lemmings, remember, it''''s your money he is going to tax!


For those who are against ILLEGAL immigration, remember, he''''s the one who will give amnesty and possibly not secure our borders.

Again, research the facts before you vote!

I vote for MCCAIN!

The empty suit has been inflated so much by the media that it might pop any day now. The first gas bag leaks are already in the press - this article, and polls indicating that Obama is losing ground to McCain in several key battleground states.

Somehow I goofed and my posting didn''t come out right. The good will Obama excited could help change America''s poor image abroad. He has shown that he can win respect from diverse groups abroad. Now he needs to focus on domestic issues.

Here is the first indication of a big bounce coming:

He didn''t heal the sick or raise the dead so it was just political posturing on his part...and like someone pointed out in the article...they don''t vote for our president so ***? He''s full of c.rap but proving, once again, he''ll do anything to win regardless how prepared he is to the job.
