    Ha... and yet McCain called them out in public for possible voter fraud.


    Obama has not.


    Who is ready to lead? The one willing to break ranks and demand discipline.

    Certainly not John McCain. He was speaking out against the lies and fear mongering at the townhall while his campaign was attacking Obama for speaking out against the threats and mob mentality at some of the other events.

    He can't even reign in his own campaign.

    It is always fair to judge a man by his closest company.

    But if you really want to know a man's true colors watch how he treats his own family.

    So the first clip is based on exaggerating the ties with people he knows.

    The second clip is based on calling someone Obama barely knows a family member and trying to make it seem like he's being ignored. Obama met the guy twice in his entire life.

    You are entirely right. You've convinced me not to vote for McCain. I don't want a president who hangs around with people who are known felons that have been arrested for subverting the Constitution.

    Indeed, I'll take the candidate who is kind, loving and consistent for his wife and kids. Thanks for reminding me.

    I don't want to vote for someone who dumped his first wife when it felt convenient, remarried quickly for money, and even then couldn't keep himself from shouting down his wife with cries of "c***!" in the presence of reporters.

    Barack is the family man in this election. Again, thank you for the reminder.

    What a bizarre thing for him to bring up.

    Yeah, let's focus on how one candidate "treats" a half-brother he's never had any relation with, and look past the candidate that screwed over his first wife.

    I don't have a quarrel with people who dislike Obama for his political leanings. But some of these issues that are brought up against him are just ridiculous.

    Both McCain and Palin are the only presidential nominees in american history who has been in major scandals.McCain with Keating 5, and palin with trooper gate...The Mavericks are coming to change washington alright, but not for the better.

    Let's see, McCain cheats and eventually leaves his disabled wife and 2 kids, who waited for him at home while he was a POW, for a rich drug addict. McCain calls his Wife a **** in public infront of a buch of congressman.


    Using the family excuess isn't a winning issue for you. would you care to try another?

    This ACORN scandal is really taking a toll on McCain -- he's now trailing by 11+ points in the latest polls.

    Not that I see affiliation was ACORN as a bad thing, but I don't think attending an event that was co-sponsored by ACORN with a bunch of other organizations implies any support for ACORN, generally -- just as serving on a board with Ayers does not imply any support for Ayers by Obama.

    What a national disgrace. I'm sure Rush Limbaugh gave her a real grilling on important policy points.

    I call on Palin to "rein in" whaling by the Japanese government. The main stream media denies that she controls this industry, but we know there's more to the story. You betcha!
