Limited intelligence. Limited vocabulary. Double-minded, no mental discipline. No class.

McCain’s father and grandfather were both lousy admirals who drank and cursed. He’s a bullet-headed moron risen far above his level of incompetence through his wife’s Organized Crime money and the political connections he began building while growing up on Capitol Hill.

Palin is the icing on his cake: inbred whitetrash.

The road to recovery begins with the People’s “insisting” upon Obama’s righteous election as POTUS, and the trial, conviction and execution of Bush, Cheney and their closest accomplices as they attempt to loot the Treasury upon departure from the offices which they have fully defiled.

IT IS A NATIONAL DISGRACE that we have to choose from Iraq Hussein Osama and John Insane McCain for President. Even their VP candidates are reprehensible.

America has morphed from a democratic republic into a true KAKISTOCRACY. Disgusting.

I’m a college educated white male in my mid 30’s and I’ve been a staunch democrat all my life, but this is a non-story/non-issue.

These are grown men, squaring off head to head in a debate for the highest office in the land and for all the marbles. If you want to take issue with the possibility that one of the candidate’s may or may not have muttered “horseshit” then I don’t know what to say, except that there are more important things at stake. Tell me its reflective of McCain’s inability to maintain his composure or control his temper? Fine. Tell me its a defining or relevant reason why an otherwise qualified candidate shouldn’t hold office and I’d reply “horseshit.”

The issues being debated in this campaign are far too big and far too important by comparison and I don’t think this is at all significant or relevant.

It depends what you want out of your candidates;

Obama- The government to take care of you More food stamps More section 8 housing More social programs Tax credit for going to college Decrease in defense spending Capital gains tax 28% Eliminate Bush’s tax cuts, which would change the tax brackets to pre 2001. Have the general population pay for healthcare through taxes(socialized medicine) Pro choice

McCain Keep Bush tax cuts Capital gains 15% Reduce corporate tax to increase company jobs. Cut the ear mark spending No increase in social programs Pro life

It all depends on where you are in life. If you are unemployed or underemployed, Obama is your man. If you make over 45k and have any investments, McCain is your guy.

You’ve just showed righteous indignation in its finest form and you should shut off your children from all contact with the rest of the world.

Mr. Swing voter.. Anyone that says American companies pay high taxes is a liar or has no idea what they are talking about. I own a small business. My $100k Porsche and $60 k BMW are a tax free write off paid by my company. My business has paid $0 federal tax for 15 years. My personal income was $200k last year and my federal taxes after deductions were 16% and I am not rich…just upper middle class. My “rich” friends pay even less of a percentage. That is the reality of our tax system. The true middle class and lower middle class pay for the lifestyles of the rich. You obviously do not have a high paying job. If you want lower taxes for r vote Obama or get a much higher paying job. Oh yeah, if you are “pro-life” I assume you oppose the war and you are trying to adopt one of the 100,000 children in this country that need a home.

upper middle class small business owner: I have to agree with you. I write off my kids diapers with my business and I pay 0 in federal taxes. There is nothing I buy that is not deducted for business purposes, my cars, gas, clothes, computers, phones. 99% of American companies do not pay taxes because they write off everything. So if you get a tax cut on nothing, what do you get? More money in the pocket of rich. I hope everyone voting for McCain is making a few million dollars a year or have it saved, cause if he wins, you will need it. People are on low end will be eating cat food out the can and life will be 10 times harder than what you think is bad.

John McCain is hotheaded and there’s no question about that. By listening to him, it is not difficult to figure that he is not someone with plush or high intellect. His lack of high intellect does not necessarily exclude him from being President. WHAT WORRIES ME IS HIS RUNNING MATE, SARAH PALIN. THIS WOMAN IS PATENTLY CLUELESS AND MAY END UP BECOMING THE PRESIDENT BY DEFAULT SHOULD SOMETHING HAPPEN TO McCain. THAT SCARES ME DEAD.

Mr. “upper middle class small business owner” is 100% correct. I am a small business owner not as well off as this guy but he is right. There are so many legit write offs that you end up paying less taxes. If you are really aggressive you can get away with more. I really wonder why so many middle class people vote want to McCain/Republicans. It can’t be for economic reasons. He is also right about truly rich people. They have money offshore and all kinds of stuff. You would be shocked at how little taxes they pay.

N.B.: Another real low-point in “Married to the Mob” McCain’s appearance last night, demonstrating how out of touch and truly pathetic he is, was his blatant pander feigning compassion and empathy about Ted Kennedy’s having been re-admitted to the hospital…particularly when it had been in the news more than an hour before that Senator Kennedy was fine, back home and waiting to watch the debate. Such quick, on-the-ball crackerjacks he has around him…like Hitler-in-Drag Palin.

It was the same dull, dimwits that got him shot down when the equipment provided for him in his airplane told him a SAM was on course to shoot him down and he failed to take any action to dodge (“jink around”) it.

I am living in poverty with high gas prices and high food cost. Today, a person needs to make at least 6% more to keep up with the inflation. On that note, I don’t agree with you one bit.

And the republicans want to pass Barack Obama off as the ill-tempered, angry man. This should show us all who is capable of losing their call and acting a fool in fron of the whole world. I can’t wait until November. Every poll that came out today except for the one Sean Hannity (of course) did gave the debate to Obama, he won it by big numbers among first-time and undecided voters. We can not afford to have this out-of-touch elitist, 8 home having, 13 car driving, foul-mouth, trigger-happy, George Bush wanna-be in the white house. And for all the people saying this article is pure bull who cares.

I’ve read at least one article written by a friend, college classmate and fellow POW that stated McCain isn’t fit to be president. That hasn’t happened to Obama. What is it about Republicans that makes them go overboard for candidates that are on the lower end of the intellectual acale? Republicans like Nixon(tricky dick), Reagan(ancient age), Bush Sr(dumb) and Bush Jr(dumber)Dan Quayle(out to lunch), GFord(clumsy) and Sarah Palin(a dumb blonde without the hair). I’d call her a moose brain, but that would be insulting to moose. Just how intelligent can Palin be if she thinks field dressing a moose in close proximity to Russia is FOREIGN POLICY EXPERIENCE?

McCain supporters, consider this. He openly cheated on his disabled wife, then stumbled upon his current wife Cindy. Her drug addiction was so bad she had to resort to stealing them from her own charity. She got caught in a the DEA sting, but her influential Senator McCain and wealthy influential father got her out of being arrested, charged and sentenced. This piece of trash(McCain)filed for a marriage licence before he was divorced, married Cindy 5wks after being divorced, then abandoned his disabled wife. The divorce stripped his former wife, Carol, of all military health benefits and financial support. Even though McCain married a multimillionaire, dozens of times over, he provided zero support. Ross Perot, once a close friend of McCain, has provided support for Carol.

McCain was a charter member of the Keating 5 and was directly involved in the S&L scandal/collapse. His wife and her father were Keatings biggest partners/investors along with the Bush family. McCain worked overtime to keep his friends and family from getting indicted along with Keating, even though they were all guilty of insider trading.

Now McCain is claiming to be against corp interest. Yet, he hired lobbyist, who represent the very corp’s he’s suppose to be fighting, to run his entire campaign. The Gov’t just discovered, after taking over Fannie Mae, that his campaign Mgr has been on their payroll for over 3yrs. Fannie Mae exec’s admitted they paid him 15K+ monthly to influence McCain. Now, do you delusional McCain supporters think Fannie Mae would continue paying his campaign Mgr so much for so long if he wasn’t getting what they wanted from McCain? HOW STUPID AND/OR MORONIC DOES ONE HAVE TO BE TO SUPPORT A PAIR OF INCOMPETENTS LIKE MCCAIN AND PALIN?

He will make the sacrafice our men and women in uniform in vain and he will help the islamic terrorist win he is a liberal who only knows 3 workds, cut and run and retreat let’s not forget their best word surrender.

I suppose McCain saying a bad word on national TV is obscene, but Obama trashing our country on foreign land is acceptable?! Wake up and stop drinking Obama’s kool-aid. He is not fit to be president. He contradicted himself last night on the war. I also believe that common sense economics will tell you that taxing the heck out of the rich and businesses will also hurt the middle and lower class as well.

The rich are the one’s who employ others; if they pay more in taxes, they will cut jobs to save money. They will also raise the price on the products or services that they sell, and guess who pays the price there? This does not encourage new businesses to develop, which also hurts our economy.

Obama’s universal health care plan is a joke. The taxpayers will pay the price for those too lazy to get a job and those who smoke 2 packs a day. Obama wants to be a modern day Robin Hood; steal from the rich and give to the poor.

If you dont know by now who to vote for then you will never know. It doesnt take a genious to see that we are going down by the hands of the present administration. I dont trust McCain and he sure seems the same as Bush. Anybody can see that he hasnt supported any kind of support for the middle class at all! No regulation for big companies. It makes sense to give it to the Democrats after 8 years of failed policies.

People think they know what a person would do in the White House but they really dont. Bush is a good example of that. All these lies about Barack Obama is expected but people who know in there hearts that he is the man to bring change will vote for him. The repubs and their tactics should really sat down somewhere. They have done enough thinking only of themselves. Its time to work from the bottom up and get this economy back on track. You cant do that if there are no jobs and purchases to invest in America. McCain has been given the free ride all the way and he makes hasty decisions. Look at Palin. There is I am sure a better choice of republican women who would have brought intelligence and knowlege to the table. McCain needed a quick fix to get attention which lasted for a short while. It is so clear that Barack/Biden should be if office. Barack/Biden 08.

I finally figured out what the meaning of the acronym of Obama - Odd Bro Attracting Moronic Airhead…..

Folks, Obamadoma is a lion in sheeps clothing. Have you ever met one of those car salesman that was just all cheezy and was “going to get you that special deal on a car you wanted, but it turned out to be a lemon car and a bad deal? Well, here’s your car salesman - Obamadoma. Do you want to be stuck with a “bad car” for 4 years? Do you want to get tatooed by a man with an ink pen on the street? If you want a socialistic country, where government decides what’s best for you and gives you no chance to embetter the quality of your life…causes you to have to bow down to government because they have what you must have to survive and it’s the only resource allowed…want a 30 - 40% increase in your taxes and want to be enslaved by the socialistic ways of Obama, vote for him. He’s offering change…Now that’s the “change” you can expect. If you want someone that has no experience in leadership roles of this magnitude, the highest power and leadership of our country and having no military leadership during a time of turmoil, vote for Obamdoma. You can put a nice suit on somebody - that doesn’t make him a leader…we’ve seen that already from the big corporate giants, haven’t we?

I prefer to have an experienced, intelligent and straight talking person for my next president. I want to hear from a president words that are true and straight forward, so I can make prudent decisions about my life….just like Presidential Nominee McCain has done throughout his entire career. I like someone who supports our troops and our veterans and don’t abandon them for ANY reason. I like someone who has the forsight to lead, rather than looking back at past all the time (as Obamdoma demonstrated he cherishes during the debate).

Let’s make it simple for you Obamadoma supporters to understand. Hypothetically, if a group of people were after you to destroy you and it was imperative you have protection for the next 4 years, who would you choose? Dirty Harry - the Clint Eastwood character, a man (MCain) with conviction, experience and determination or Richard Simmons - a man, oh well you get the point (Obamadoma)?

My experience with the government’s free lunch program is enough to make me think SEVERAL times about voting anyone in office who will increase federal programs or allow the government to run our health care program. Come into my classroom and see the discrepancy: students on free lunch who wear very expensive clothes, purchase ice cream every day, have the newest cell phone in their pockets, and two of whom who have parents who drive new BMW SUVs. The three students in my room who could actually use the help don’t qualify. Their parents tell the truth on the forms, and they just mix the maximum. I usually end up buying their lunch two or three times a month. A better program would be to just give the parents vouchers for bread, peanut butter, apples and juice. Then, they could get up in the morning, and with the government’s help, take care of their own kids.Guarantee you this would take several off the”dole”; it’s not cool to eat peanut butter!

White Republicans are racist? Over 30% of White Democrats and 90% of all White Democrats in W. VA would not vote for a black regardless. Republicans would support Colin Powell and do not in general view race as an issue. Its only the Democrats the play the race card. The Republican party was created to abolish slavery, the Republicans signed the emancipation proclamination, oposed Jim Crow, the KKK, segegration, and a Republican D.W Eisenhower sent federal troops to help enforce Brown v Board of Ed. Who opposed the Republicans…………Democrats.. Republicans overwhelmly supported the civil rights act while over 70% of the Democrats in the south voted, voted, voted against the civil rights act.

Now who is the racist party. The party for blacks was the Republican party and blacks have been duped to believe their party is the Democrats.

Barack is a pawn in the Democratic machine and his presidency will show. This love affair with Barack will end in 6mos or after his first 100 days because he is not equipped to run a country or be a senator with his present vote.

I’ll pass on commenting on whether he cursed or not. But I will say that McCain appeared self-absorded and unflexible during the debates. At least Senator Obama recognizes the importance of putting personal conflicts aside to deal w/ the needs of the country. McCain would not glance in Obama direction. Therefore, if McCain was president he would be a stubborn old bully who, like Bush, would have tunnel vision and be unable to deal with people who have opposed views. This this not a potential presenidential candidate. Antother, thing during the crisis McCain stated he would suspend his campaign to go “SAVE THE DAY.” Interestingly, his own party did not desire or need hsi present and publicly stated as much. During the talks as everyone else was looking attentive and serious, McCain was posing for the camera with all grins. Like, Look at Me. I am in the mist of important events. He look more like a relieved nurse home resident who had a long await bowel movement. McCain may be a war hero but like some POWs he suffers from some form of mental health disorders. As an elderly person, he needs to take care of his health because “I can see Russia from my back yard Palin” is not ready to step in should the stress of presidency and his health gets the better of him.

The Obama camp has been threatening television and radio stations to keep them from airing anti-Obama ads.

The latest target is the NRA and stations in Pennsylvania.

Earlier this week, the National Rifle Association’s Political Victory Fund released a series of radio and television spots to educate gun owners and sportsmen about Barack Obama’s longstanding anti-gun record. In response to the NRA-PVF ads, a clearly panicked Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) are doing everything they can to hide Obama’s real record by mounting a coordinated assault on the First Amendment.

This is a tactic by Obama just like the Annenberg and abortion cases where he does not want people to know his record..

In the clip (as usual), Obama is slinging mud without facts. That’s why McCain said what he said…IF that’s what he said. I only heard “horse” and to me it sounds digitally enhanced. Obama knows not of which he speaks. He says only what his writers say for him. He has NO idea what it takes to run a country, after only a few active days in the Senate. His wife had dissed the USA. He refuses to acknowledge the pledge to the flag, etc. This shows me that he is NOT a patriot and is NOT interested in the welfare of this country. If (by some fluke) he is elected, GOD HELP US ALL!

Obama is far more in tune with the average American. Obama and Michelle had a modest childhood and, therefore, understands the plight of evey day American. McCain and Cindy had a priviledged upbringing.For example, McCain (and Bush) would have never made it into Ivy Leage Universities by their GPAs. No by their families name and connection they took advantage of “white priviledge,” “Good Ole Boy Network,” and the Elites. How ironic McCain now refers to Obama as an elist given he studied hard, did not accept afirmative action programs to get through college, and worked several jobs to make. McCain has 12 houses. If the market causes him to loose 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 houses. He is okay - right off by the loopholes provided for the rich. Obama has one (1) house. He understands American who are struggling. He understands America must take care of the young generation such as his young girls. As a veteran I will not vote for McCain. Underpressure did he not denounced America during capture? As stated, I am a veteran and McCain does not need a free ride to white house because he was a POW. By his statements, he is at an impasse and does not know how to be a global presidential and think progressively into the 21st century. He may rattle off names of countries or foreign leaders he has met. But the queston remains: Can he apply critical thinking when dealing with others or is he stoic like his sidekick Bush. He could not even look at a man two feet from him who opposes him. How can he address or negotiate with people many miles away. Oh wait, perhaps if you can see them in your backyard, everything is okay. Keep peeping over the mountains and plains and everything is okay, the McCain and Palin sentiments.

Some of you may not think using the profane “horse$hit” is no big deal, as it’s just an everyday word in some of your conversations. That’s why you can align with Mr. McCasper-look-alike and his policies. Many Americans (also the world) were offended by his not acknowleding Obama, as that is how the racists in the south treated black people pre-civil rights days. That’s o.k.; many have put that era behind us except McCasper. Here you go: something to think about:

Why doesn’t his wife or surrogates tell this man that when all you have left are war stories, and try to elicit sympathy still for what you went through, becoming the president is NOT a wise move.

If you vote for McCasper because you’ve always voted the Republican ticket, you are WRONG!

If you vote for McCasper out of sympathy, you are Wrong!

If you vote for McCasper because he’s a “war hero”, you are Wrong!

If you vote for McCasper because he USED to be a maverick, you are WRONG, because You are living in the past just like he is!

If you vote for McCasper because he picked Failin Palin, you are absolutely WRONG! This woman quite possibly be a heartbeat away from the Presidency.

If you vote for McCasper because he lies and distorts the truth, (like the GI bill he did NOT support) and sees nothing wrong with it, you are definitely WRONG!

If you vote for McCasper, calling him aggressive because he would not look Obama in the eye, you are WRONG! It’s a sign of showing disrespect to your opponent, and we can imagine McCasper treating world leaders the Same way.

If you vote for the Obama-Biden team, you are RIGHT; it shows you are using your good judgment and common sense that God blessed you with!

We struck up a lively conversation, and most of his conversation was about his pilot flying days - a very proud AA) It’s o.k - we admire and appreciate what all Vets endured for our nation. However, they should not be running for the highest office in the land. I asked this vet what he thought of McCain’s comment during the debate about taking care of the Vets.

FYI: Someone with a computer in Rome, Italy, followed the above link. If you think it a coincidence… that Rome, whose motto means “City and World,” was the “Wall Street” of slavery for two thousand years; that Lincoln was assassinated by a gang of Roman Catholics six days after Lee’s surrender at Appomattox to Grant’s Lincoln-ordered generous and honorable terms (reversed by the subsequent occupation); that Kennedy was killed six weeks after NSAM263’s withdrawal order from their plantation in Indochina; that rich pedophiles have much better to do than to protect and enhance their satanic worldly power, through machinations, intrigues and “the Italian Solution,” you’re really not paying attention or appreciative of America’s Founders.

Apparently there’s a lot of blacks posting here that’s still wants a handout. A handout, without being qualified or earning it, for a job, for welfare & foodstamps, for social security, for free school lunches…….for Obamadoma who is for handing out money like he’s voted to do for special interest and over $800 million in pork spending. Folks we simply can’t afford someone so stupid as to be doing that. That’s the very thing that ruins our country and causes financial failure. You can’t spend what you don’t have Obamadoma.

You don’t vote for someone just because of his skin color people. Talk about racism at its finest. You vote for someone because he’s qualified and deserves it. Anyone that thinks Obamdoma is qualified to be president, must have had their head stuck in the sand ever since he made it to Senator. Look at his voting record….voted to not fund our veterans in Iraq and abroad…voted for over $800 million in pork spending (shredding the citizens’ money), not showing up to vote on SB3297 (The Military Commission), IN FACT HE’S MISSED 80%….80% OF THE VOTES SINCE LAST AUGUST…MORE THAN ANY OTHER CONGRESSMAN. Tell me that’s a leader and keep a straight face…I knew it. You can’t do it. You can’t be my Senator and miss 80% of the votes that determine my destiny as a citizen and especially as important as each bill is now! OBAMADOMA…can’t lead if he can’t do his job as Senator.
