I am increasingly finding McCain and Palin to be a most unpalatable and unpleasant team who are quite obnoxiously waging a malicious campaign of desperation against Obama. And it stinks.

Hillary Clinton’s exact endorsement of Palin, and the unseemly way McCain seems to have taken a leaf out of Hillary’s book, by smearing Obama, is far too obvious for any intelligent person not to notice.

I feel really angered for Obama by the way lies and mendacity are being used in what has become a race to the whitehouse strewn with dirty tricks and empty accusations.

I have faith that the great American people will see through the disrespectful behaviour of McCain, and through his vapid and superficial neo VP.

As a conservative Australian, I am horrified to watch the farce that is the American election! Can the Republican party sink any lower? After 8 years of failed Bush Administration policy that has affected the world, McCain, his trophy wife and the joke from Alaska expect the American people to fall for the “swiftboat” tactics again? God help us all if they do!
Go Obama/Biden Go !!!

It is pathetic for someone to assail Obama the way the Republican candidates do. If you don’t like him, fine. Be respectful- don’t call him “that one”, don’t tie him to people who are 39 years older than him who worked with him on a foundation sponsored by a devout Chicago Republican to improve schools. Don’t call him “Hussein” and don’t allow your crowds to call him a “terrorist.” The day that happens, independents will respect John McCain. Since it has failed to happen, Obama will smash McCain in a landslide victory.

What a difference between the two potential first ladies! I was so impressed with the poise of Michele Obama, but not quite so impressed with Cindy McCain. With Michele Obama you could almost say after the politics let’s put the differences aside and enjoy one another. Cindy McCain’s demeanor was desparate.

I feel sorry for Cindy McCain, she has been the doormat for that rotten husband of hers too long, now he has her out there spewing hate and anger to try and stir up the uninformed. Cindy you see, we know that your own husband voted against H.R. 1591 in March 2007, an emergency war funding bill that would have funded the troops and returning veterans. He was angry because it had a timetable for withdrawal. Where were your chills then Cindy?

This whole thing makes me sick! We have become a nation of sound bites, filled with lies, half-truths, and zero substance. The whole process is rotten and needs to be thrown out. Good men are reduced to mud slinging and name calling, reactionary tactics and defensive strategies by evil little men (and women) in a smoke-filled room somewhere in Washington, D.C. When did we stop being a nation of people who thought for themselves and needed someone to believe in that, I don’t know, you could ACTUALLY believe in? An now, in order to separate themselves from the backlash, they send their wives out to do their dirty work? Apparently there is no shame left…

Cindy - Was it the same kind of chill Sen. Thad Cochran of Mississippi gets when he thinks about your husband being President of the US. Here is what Thad Cochran has said:
“The thought of McCain in the Oval Office sends a cold chill down my spine.”

@Brickhouse - I assume by you being against “a Marxist future” you want to get rid of all worker protection laws? Do you claim that the workers of lower to middle class standing (proletariat) are never exploited by their corporate employers (bourgeoisie)? Do you think they’d be less exploited if the laws hadn’t been enacted or unions hadn’t formed to challenge them? Do all workers share equally or at least proportionately in the profits generated by their work? What exactly is it you fear will change so much about “American history” if Obama becomes president?

@DemocracyRules - Actually a capitalist looks at the beautiful house and thinks ‘I should buy that now and either rent it out for significantly more than I pay in mortgage, taxes and upkeep combined or hold it until housing prices go up and sell it at a profit with little if any improvements made to it.’

@Paul - Nothing anyone does in the future can in any way jeopardize history…history has already happened! And why is “redistribution of wealth” if tax breaks are taken away from the already rich and large corporations in favor of giving them to the lower and middle class workers who make those companies run in the first place, but it’s “supporting business” if the greater tax burden is put on the middle class so that the executives can buy another house or take a third vacation or buy their spoiled kid another brand new car?

Brickhouse, Paul, just keep spitting the word socialist around when you have no clue what it means. Bush has been the most socialist president in US history and has grown our gov’t to be bigger than ever imaginable. Who supported just about all of those growths in gov’t, growth’s in spending and socialist policies? That’d be your boy McCain.

There is a special place in Hell for a Mother that would use her child’s name and life to conveniently distort facts for her own selfish gain. How did she feel when her own husband voted against supporting the troops (and her son)? I wish the media would pose that question to the Cindy McCain.
