Comments on: The Democrats' Plan To Hit McCain

Politico: Presumed GOP Nominee's Reputation For "Straight Talk" Will Be Scrutinized

[danstoned]

All we Dems have to do is this: "John (GW BUSH) McCain." Thus McCain will be DOA. YOu Cons better get used to a President Obama, because lots of moderate Republicons have already said that he is their man, too.

Is there something here you would like to open up for debate, or are you just in love with your own rhetoric and ritual defamation?

[hypnotoad72]

kesac4650 - more, what has Hillary done to address the job problem? Encourage tax breaks for companies that hire home? Put a leverage between "free trade" and "fair trade"?

[scottyusa]

Putting the words hit and Clinton together IS scarey. Obama is nothing more than a smooth talker. He has no experience to speak of which is indicated by his "we will get out of Iraq NOW" policy. He might as well fire all the generals too while he is at it so everyone has the same amount of experience that he commands. And what is all this change the democrats are talking about? Just what is it we are going to change? For one thing it will be our standard of living and it won''t be going up. Cheers!

Now Romney has dropped out, I think the Democrats are heading to the White House.

A pity, although Mitt seemed as genuine a Victorian DVD player, I still think he was the chap to ward off the looming recession.

The "character" of AMNESTY-JOHN can be summed up in one word: BETRAYAL.

1. Wife Betrayal. When his wife was injured in an auto accident resulting in a severe limp, AMNESTY-JOHN didn''t hesitate to divorce his then lame wife to marry-up into money. (His current wife is a multi-millionaire beer distributor who has refused to provide a single penny of her money to the AMNESTY-JOHN campaign.)

2. Constituent Betrayal. AMNESTY-JOHN betrayed his constituents on many, many issues. Most notable is his total support for providing citizenship to illegal immigrants - an issue opposed by more than 70% of his constituents.

3. Party Betrayal. AMNESTY-JOHN is one of the few "Republicans" most likely to vote against or oppose the interests of his party. He''s done it on taxes, spending, appointments, policy matters, social issues and on and on and on.

If you want to be betrayed - as the citizens of the US have been by the DickNBush criminals for more than 7 years - vote for AMNESTY-JOHN. Otherwise, elect somebody with integrity.

Nope. The only thing the Dems need to do, is remind people if the daily price tag of being in Iraq and replay over and over again McCains advocacy for a 100 year war. Romeny and the conservatives could not hurt McCain on that one issue --because they all were still for war too--but it WILL hurt McCain and since most people want the war to end (and he is proposing possibly 100 more years) and anyone with a brain can note that 300 million going for a war based on lies may not be the best way to stop a money drain--Dems can hit McCain where other conservatives fear to tread. McCAin set himself up--as for flip flops--the bagdhad lies and the lies on Romney are excellent fodder besides his other campaign snafus. McCain is a seriously flawed candidate--almost as flawed as Hilary. But then, Hilary never said she would give us a hundred more years of senseless bloodshed, just that she would take care of us with our own money and tax us later for it.

Go democrats! Knock yourselves out! Not so many of the republicans like him either, so, what a great whipping boy! Don''t think the Democrats have any fear of running against this old war horse. Didn''t Viet Nam get over about 35+ years ago?? Why is his service in this war relevant in 2008 in a presidential race in a time in history that is far different from anything or anytime we have ever faced before????

denn034,
"It should be noted that the Democrat''''s are the one''''s poisoning the political climate this time around with their negative campaigning but, people react against such and that''''ll hurt the Democrats in the end."

I laughed so hard at your statement. You are hilarious. Didn''t Mitch Romney (a Republican) just allude to idea of an Obama or Clinton Presidency as a surrender to terror just yesterday? Yes he did. I guess in your fantasy world, Romney was being bipartisan.

[kesac4650]

Making an issue that McCain admits not understanding economics as well as he thinks he should, is not much of an issue.
Perhaps it would be more of an issue, that Hillary believes that she understands finances, foreign relations, or the 2nd, or 10th Ammendment that should be more of an issue.
Hillary once said that she would like to make abortions, safe, and rare. What has she done to make them rare?

[danstoned]

Neocon mike71067, better get used to a President Obama, because there is no way America will put another Republicon in the White House for at least the next 16 years. Besides, not enough White folk in the USA to put an old man like McCain in the White House..

[mike71067]

Any attempt by the silly Democrats to attack McCain''s reputation for "straight-talk" will fail miserably. All McCain has to do is point out Hillary''s propensity to change her views depending on her audience, or Obama''s lack of any real views on anything. Obama can talk about "change" all he wants, but he really has no new ideas to speak of.

McCain won''t make a perfect president, but he''ll make a good one. And he''s enough of a ****** to stand up to members of either party.

[rowdytexan2]

McCain''s just another Neocon clone. The fact that he opposed the big business tax cuts shows he has a conscience...but he''d still take our young people to Iraq to fight for the Neocon regime''s oil, and push the regime''s interests for world power no matter what the cost to the American people.

We have to take this country back from this regime.

[denn034]

Go McCain! It should be noted that the Democrat''s are the one''s poisoning the political climate this time around with their negative campaigning but, people react against such and that''ll hurt the Democrats in the end.

johnny343sc,

being president has nothing to do with "earning" it. It is not a job that someone gives you after x number of years of service.

It has to do with who is the most qualified at the time to do the job. It requires foreign policy skills, this year it also requires a good understanding of economics, which McCain himself admits he does not have. It requires a good understanding of diplomacy.

Just because Mccain is a war vet and surviving POW does not, in any way, qualify him for the job of president. It is going to take someone with a broader resume than that.

[clestes-2009]

He is off the mark on almost everything. I see his rise to front runner a blowback from the ultra right conservatives who grabbed the rep party and forced it off road on to their private road. That alienated moderates, who must be with you to win anything.

No, the christian right, which is anything but christian, has brought this on themselves. They thought they could force their views on the party and everyone would fall in line and that was never true.

Now, the moderates and less right reps are veering away from any candidate that smacks of the ultra right and have gone with the only choice they had, McCain.

This has pissed off the ultra rights and caused a fracture in the party. The rep party is in disarray. Now whether they get it back together again or not is unknown.

But McCain will be an easy target for the dems. He has made so many stupid comments, pissed off so many fellow senators with his arrogance and rudeness plus his pro-war stance is hugely unpopular, even in the rep party faithful.

This is shaping up to be a banner year for democrats. Congress is already a done deal. The dems will only secure more seats and possibly a filibuster proof majority in the senate while the house will be 2/3 democratic. The question is, who will be the dem nomination for president.

At this point, to close to call. But no matter who it is, McCain is a cooked goose!!

[tylenol6]

McWar''s rise only explains one thing...This is McCain''s
PAY BACK for backing Bush such as the "iraq surge is working". Remember McCain was shopping in Iraq and saying everything was rosy while he was wearing a bullet
proof vest and had tons of security. Well, this is McCain''s pay back for sticking with Bush.
MC CAIN = BUSH

[johnny343sc]

McCAIN 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HE''S EARNED THE PRESIDENCY!
