Campaign by photo op.

McCain has no integrity and no issues on his side. He had to do something because his poll takers showed there was no way he was going to pick up the middle anyway, so he had better get out the Religious nuttos and redneck elite if he was to stand a chance.
McCain/Palin: No meat, all photo op and smears.-

Can you explain why McSame was NOT promoted along with the other POW's? His resulting low rank forced him to retire early. Can you explain why McSame was dating his current wife while still married? Ross Perot and Nancy Reagan had to take care of his first wife. Can you explain why McSame turned tail and abandoned his own anti torture bill? Can you explain why McSame violated his own campaign finance reform bill? Can you explain why McSame has some 160 lobbyists running his campaign? Can you?

First, being a bad pilot does not make you a war hero. Being a prisoner of war, and specially treated because Daddy was an admiral does not make you a hero. Being so specially treated that you were the only one of the prisoners in the prison camp to gain weight is certainly not moral. He should have shared some of his extra food with the other prisoners.

Agreed, McCain heroically served his country and suffered greatly for it. On that, he has integrity. Does that make him the man to be the next President? Sorry, I don't see it. Just because he has been in war doesn't make him an expert. On the economy or healthcare or energy? He offers nothing that would make any positive difference for me or anyone I know. What's he gonna do for you?

Key, why did Mcbush cave on his own Anti-torture bill? Sure failed the integrity test there!
Reply
Lied that he would never own a foreign car also - he has two!
How about obstruction of the Alaska investigation of the trooper firing... lots of failed integrity there too!
More lies everyday... like his pledge to keep the election civil... all lies that the Honor Code of the Naval Academy would have kicked him out for!-

"More voters in each state also would rather see Democratic vice presidential candidate Sen. Joseph Biden become President, even though voters in each state say Sen. McCain's selection of Gov. Sarah Palin as running mate is a good choice."

As much respect as I have for those who have gone to war, I am fed up with the insinuations that they are somehow 'better' than any other American. Ordinary people show courage every day of there lives when they never give up, pay their fair share, endure injustices, raise good children, & get up every time they're knocked down. They're the backbone of this nation, & are no less American than john mccain. Most people do what is asked of them in life, and most do it quietly and without fanfare. ENOUGH of this trying to make mccain a 'god.' He did a job and had a tough break. So did thousands of others in war time, and thousands didn't get the chance to have any more tomorrows. He's no better. And he has no mandate to be President for doing what tens of thousands did before him and after his service! -

No, and neither has McCain nor you. So what does that have to do with the price of a bowl of rice in China?
I could give a rats azz about what happened to McCain in Vietnam 40 years ago. You Republican neocon suckups taught me that one when you smeared a real war hero, John Kerry.
Besides, McCain has shown he has no integrity time and again over the last decades and especially in the last eight years. The lies, the adultery (worse than Clinton!), the cheating, the stealing, the voting time and again AGAINST our own troops, the entitlements to his crony buddies and handouts to oil and other PACS that donate to him. The stealing of private property for crony profit. I mean the list goes on and on!
Not to forget that he flip-flops so much he makes Kerry look steady like the Rock of Gibraltar. How many presidential candidates have not only switched their positions within a day, how many have written a law only to break it? How many have sponsored a bill before they were against it? McCain has more waffles than IHOP. -

Makes me sad because I really believed that what is right would take hold and I thought Obama was that. The saddest part are these narrow minded, bigotted people who actually think they are right. They act as if the Republican party has done something for them. I keep asking, what is it that the Republican party has done for any of us just hard working folks? Yet they don't answer that question.

Obama, really, what was the DNC thinking. Oh, er, I mean what was George Soros thinking? I can guess .... He was thinking "Who is a corrupt politican that I buy lock stock and barrel and bring the USA down". Don't be a dupe people .... research and learn.

when you can't think of anything else, just say "George Soros" like it means something.

standard operating porcedure from the right.
the election is 42 days away. in much less time than that the world will realize that McCain is a lobby/special interest (w)hore. he's already taken almost $200,000 from lobbies while Obama has taken only $6000.
and McCain's senior staff is filled with lobbyists.
time to wake up.
george soros can't save you now.-

Klarissa - Again a little misleading on your part.
Reply
Jim Johnson was an UNPAID volunteer to head up the VP vetting committee. As soon as he became the source of controversy, he immediately resigned. He was there - what - 2 weeks?
In contrast, the campaign director for McCain is Rick Davis. He just happens to be head lobbyist for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
And he has not resigned yet
So, do you want to continue bringing up Jim Johnson vs Rick Davis. I assure you that McCain is looking pretty sordid in this game of "Count the Lobbyists."
As of several days ago, when I last looked, McCain had 177 identifiable lobbyists in his campaign structure. If you want, I can look again and see how many more have signed on to help McCain. I simply got so disgusted I haven't bothered to look again.-

Unions begin big election effort, By John Wojcik, People's Weekly World
Reply
With the primary season over, labor is wasting no time jumping into the fall campaign. The 10-million-member AFL-CIO is expected to endorse Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, shortly. The Change to Win federation has already endorsed him.
Once the AFL-CIO officially endorses Obama, it is expected to deploy large numbers of ground troops for the election. It has already budgeted $54.3 million for its own get-out-the vote drive and may, according to its political committee chairman, AFSCME President Gerald McEntee, spend as much as $60 million on the effort.
The Steelworkers have already begun what they say will be 30,000 or more worksite visits by union activists, talking directly to workers about Obama’s positions. They’re emphasizing his proposals for fair trade policies and for creation of millions of good paying “green” manufacturing jobs. The jobs they are talking about include production of solar cells, industrial-sized windmills to power electric turbines, and hybrid automobile engines.
The Service Employees (SEIU), the largest union in the Change to Win federation, voted at their June 2–4 convention in San Juan, Puerto Rico, to spend $85 million for the fall campaign to elect Obama and a bigger Democratic majority in Congress.
An additional $55 million will be spent for a legislative campaign to push for creation of a “universal, comprehensive and affordable national health care plan,” according to a union statement issued after the convention.
In a unique move, SEIU voted to spend $10 million to mount campaigns against legislators on any level who go back on promises they have made to the labor movement.
The SEIU info
Organizing in Oregon
The Civil and Human Rights Committee of SEIU Local 503, Oregon Public Employees Union sponsored and hosted a talk by Communist Party Vice Chair Jarvis Tyner, Local 503 retiree activist Ann Montague and union organizer Bob Novick on Friday, August 8 in Portland, Oregon.
The forum was held to reflect on past civil rights struggles and to tie these to the present political moment. The panel featured three slightly different perspectives on the past and on the Obama candidacy. Communist literature was briskly distributed. One woman who attended took a number of items with her for her non-union paper mill.-

Klarissa - Thank you for this wonderful article showing how much AMERICAN workers and laborers back Obama. It seems they understand that Obama's tax policies will help the common folk far more than the tax cuts to the rich and continuation of the trickle down policies that McCain espouses.
Reply
They realize that Obama is far more committed to creating new jobs in the "Green" industry than McCain will ever be.
They realize that Obama's policies of subsidizing health care insurance costs for all Americans makes much more sense than McCain's taxing of corporate health care benefits.
I admire you and am quite amazed you have turned into an Obama supporter. Welcome to the fold.
