Here is how I look at the top two candidates.....Both have made mistakes, so it is a simple and wise thing to pay attention to which direction a candidate is moving,....from bad to good, or from good to bad. Senator McCain wins toward the good.

Some want to call Obama''s ads negative campaigning, I see it as revealing the truth. The McCain campaign has been spewing lies. That''s really negative campaigning. It''s a big difference from Obama''s. If that''s what it takes to get issues on the table. Obama. Keep them coming. The high road is only up. You can''t really go any lower than McCain''s camp has gone. You got to stand up to these people. They like to try and drag you in the mud with them.

CBS. Stop running stories to appease the far right. There is an audience that would rather here the actual issues and policies than stories about what kind of tone they''re delivered in.

Obama''s camp is like a bunch of schoolyard sissy''s, who slap someone when the teacher isn''t looking then sob "he was mean to me." Gosh, anyone who went through junior high, or who teaches there, could see through this stuff. Obama has lost his moment. The country''s in crisis, the Dem Congress (who have run the committee''s responsible for oversight) don''t know what to do. Obama''s been holed up w/ leftover economists from the Carter administration (that worked well then) and still doesn''t know what to say. He''s a coward who won''t stand up and debate.

The truth has a well-known liberal bias.
Going more negative? It''s about time.

He is so desparate that he, O''Bama, will be soon claiming to be of "Black Irish" descent.

It''s very pertinent for BO to shout louder and louder negativity at someone else the more negative things are discovered about his doings,....that''s what liars always do. By the end of this election cycle, his "above the belt" campaign at the start will be much farther south......Watch and see for yourself folks.

I thought Obama was the canidate of change? If he is, why is he running the negative ads? Why doesn''t he accept joint townhall meetings with McCain to debate the issues? Why did he pick Biden instead of Hillary? Do you think the American public is starting to think twice about him?

McCain''s been groin kicking and back stabbing since this thing began-the top cheap shot artist in the U.S. aided by his friend the moose hunter. So if he gets a few ads back in the chops, he can handle it. Can''t he? Heck, he doesn''t even know Spain is an ally.

I truly hope you will continue to chant "USA, USA, USA" on your next trip to WalMart.... where 98% of the products on the shelf are MADE IN CHINA.
Think about it. And the Walton family that happens to own WalMart, are Republicans? God Bless Walmerica?

Folks, we seriously must ponder McSame''s judgment in his VP selection. He admitted that he saw her once before the selection. ONCE! Even when I was being interviewed for my job 20 years ago paying $25,000 a year, I was interviewed 2 times by my potential employer. To pick a VP candidate "out of a hat" like that demonstrates his "shoot from the hips" type of decision-making process, which is quite disturbing when you consider that a president has access to nuclear button.

OK, if anyone can explain how a person who cannot use a computer invented the Blackberry, he should get the Nobel Physics award.

McSame admitted he cannot use a computer, but his campaign manager said that McSame invented the Blackberry!!! Can you believe that???

The Rapepublican''s candidate, John McBush, I mean, George McCain, I mean, John McSame, "pretended" he was outraged by Obama''s lipstick on a pig comment.
He PRETENDED he was outraged.
He should get a Grammy. Unfortunately, many of his blind followers eagerly lap up everything he says.
How sad.

Is it just my imagination, or does that McSame guy look a bit senile? Sometimes, he can''''t follow a long question. I mean when that lady asked if the draft should be re-instated, he said, "I don''''t disagree with what you said."
Did really think that or did he just have another one of those "senior moments"?

I bet it''s a lot more than that---he didn''t even know where Spain was today.

And anyway--good old Sarah is now touting the "Palin/McCain presidency.

You are a perfect example of how hate overpowers intelligence.

Anyone with as much hate as you have is a real dumb azz.--In fact a gnat is smarter than you.

This is so funny. John McSame invented the Blackberry???
That is what the McSame campaign is saying.
Have they gone completely mad?
He can''t even count in the single digit! He can''t even remember how many houses he owns!

We should build a home in Georgia for McSame and deport him there.
