Washington Post: Attacks And Retorts From Obama, McCain Show How They Plan To Take Aim At Lobbyist Influence

[eroosevelt08]

I know six voter who will stay home and not vote if Barack Obama is the Democratic nominee. These are hard core Democrats. This is scary. If I know six, how many others are out there?

The vast majority on Hillary supporters will back Barack simply out of party loyalty and because they hate Bush (and despite what GOP would have one believe, Bush really IS running in this election) and the remaining more angry ones will vote for Barack over McCain because most of them are angry feminists who will never pull the lever in Favor of a republican simply because McCain Supreme Court appointments will overturn Roe and Title IX. this whole idea of a divide between Hillary and Barack supporters somehow giving the GOP the White House is a right wing wet dream.

McCain is a walking talking lying bought and paid for lobbyist robot.

Obama takes oil money. Not from the corporations but from the CEOs and their wifes. Nice little loop hole isn''t it.

Oh yea Obama is fond of talking about Kennedy meeting with the Soviets. But he doesn''t tell you a year later the Cuban missile crisis blew up as direct result.

What an idiot!!

As individuals, they are only allowed to donate $2300 a piece - just like me, you, and everyone else. Are you realistically going to say that the big wigs at big oil didn''t give $2300 to EACH of the candidates in order to hedge their bets?

Please.....




And as for the Kennedy discussions with the Russians, you might be surprised to learn that the discussions were ABOUT the cuban missile crisis, which defused the whole situation. The crisis didn''t happen because of the discussions.

"The climax period of the crisis began on October 15, 1962, when United States reconnaissance photographs taken by an American U-2 spy plane revealed missile bases being built in Cuba, and ended two weeks later on October 28, 1962, when President of the United States John F. Kennedy and United Nations Secretary-General U Thant reached an agreement with the Soviets to dismantle the missiles in Cuba in exchange for a no invasion agreement and a secret removal of the Jupiter and Thor missiles in Turkey."

You and the rest of the fools in congress really do under estimate the swing voter. We made it clear that we wanted out of Iraq, that we wanted health care for kids and we wanted to fix our own health care. But you and your political buddies still think you can pull it off.

Okay keep that in mind when you are wishing we weren''t around.

[hungry1968]

McCain is the next president. that much we DO know.
obama needs HRC''''S supporters and he wont get it.

SIMPLE DEDUCTION???? McCain wins hands down.

How naive!!

You really think that 17 million+ people are all not going to vote, or vote for McCain - NONE of them are going to vote for Obama?


That''s absurd!

[harrydoghiny]

Shucks, that''s an easy one. Who has 54 lobbyists on their campaign staff? Hint: it ain''t Obama.
Vote McBush for a third term!

Be careful, as with most politicians, when their lips are moving they are probably lying.

I want the value of the dollar to go down to zero. I want gas prices to reach 10.00 a gallon. I want more war. I want more CIA agents outted. I want more corruption. I want less respect from the world.

I''m votin'' McCain for more o'' the same.

"McCain is the next president."

That''s the kind of arrogance and stupidity that got us into this mess. All because of "Vote for me and I''ll send you a check."

McCain is the oldest beltway bandit in the game. He isn''t to change now.

Obama responds to McCain: "when he was busy supporting a war against a country that had no nuclear weapons, I was busy in the Senate working ... to pass legislation to secure loose nuclear weapons"

demslie no Democrat hates George Bush. However, it would have been nice if he had been president of World-Com and not the president of the United States these last seven years.

[tomanyt]

....not to mention his shady Arizona land swaps and the Keating 5 debacle.

Why don''t you ask Obama how he got that house he lives in. Obama is just as shady as McCain. They all are. They are politians.

[beader59]

McCain is a liar when it comes to lobbyists, Obama is not squeaky clean, but he is cleaner than most. But a politician often has to play the game to get good work done. That is what earmarks do unfortunately if used correctly. I don''t think Obama or McCain would be good leaders. They are fine as Senators, but that is where it ends. I wouldn''t vote for either one of them if they are the contenders. They are both equally unqualified for President, just on different issues. Oh that is right, Obama doesn''t know how to make clear how he is going to get things doen. He just says change and old Washington and I am going to do this, but I rarely hear him say how.

You do not even know how to be civil and articulate your point, claiming that all democrats are atheist, excuse me as a independent who will not be voting for any of the three top contenders for the presidency. Take a look at history and your neighbors, was Truman,JFK,Rooselvelt atheist? Not hardly.
