Fight for Virginians' votes spills over onto the airwaves

McBush!?

Also stupid. I mean c'mon is this the best people can come up with?

"...this misspelling of Obama's name. Is it supposed to be funny? Clever?"

I couldn't agree more. After all, it isn't HALF as funny or clever as "McSame."

The same mantra over and over. It seems to be OK to spend billions bombing the heck out of a country, then turn around and spend billions more rebuilding that same country, but when it comes to offering assistance to our own, people become totally selfish and can only think about themselves. Until our society grows up and understand we are all in this together, this country will never be united.

First, I keep seeing this misspelling of Obama's name. Is it supposed to be funny? Clever? Let me help those of you who don't know how to spell his name because you happen to see it spelled wrong on far right sites: it is spelled OBAMA. You don't have to thank me for that. Second, what an inspired attempt at fusing both humor and smear in a conversation regarding Georgia. Aren't we fighting enough wars right now? Do we want the proponent of endless war, the one whose chief foreign policy advisor happens to have been a lobbyist for Georgia, to be the one who makes the decision on whether we go to war with Russia? Over Georgia? Really?

Now I am guessing that according to some, taking Georgia's dilemma into context, the US should just stand by and let an invasion of Miami by Cuba just go uncontested. It is basically the same thing from the standpoint that the rebel regions are mostly Russian loyalists that want to break away from the sovereign Georgia because they don't like what country their house sits in. Russia, being a nation that relies heavily on warm water Black Sea ports was more than willing to invade to gain back ports lost by the collapse of the Soviet Union. It is truely a dangerous region that is being overrun by Russians trying to regain lost territory. A standoff between the US and Russia is imminent over soveriegn rights of the region and democracy. Can NObama now utilize his confidant Ayers terrorist experience to bring a diplomatic solution to this crisis or will he rely on Rev Wright's anti-whitey example to shame Russia into submission?

E.I. said:
"You can put all the hot moms on the ticket that you want, americans are simply not that stupid. Change is coming get used to it!"

Did you just reduce the sitting Governor of Alaska to a 'hot mom'? Is it me, or is that another Democrat spewing misogynist garbage? Too bad for you E.I., that hot mom is more successful than you'll ever be. If that's your brand of 'change', you can keep it!
Again and again I see the supposedly compasionate Democrats spewing racism and sexism in their quest to turn this nation into a collectivist gulag. I can only hope enough Americans are too smart to buy the bogus socialist trash that Mr. Obama believes in.

PS: CB's 'Virtual Storm 10000'... laughed till I hurt. Good one!

Senator Obama was right when he urged restraint. We do not need another war, for heaven's sake. It was the Georgian army's attack on the city of Tskhinvali in South Ossetia, that gave the Russians an opening they had been waiting for. President Mikhail Saakashvili completely "misunderstood" the messages that our State dept. was sending. Don't attack, but we are your friend and stand behind you. Most of Saakashvili's trusted advisors had left him months ago. Keep your eye on the former President of Georgia's Parliament, Mrs. Nino Burjanadze. She was a close and trusted advisor to Saakashvili. She could no longer support his obsession to take on Russia at any price and resigned in early spring.

i sure hope there's more to your story...if not, you're definitely making yourself and our race look horrible...far-rights and far-lefts are what's wrong with this country today...i believe that's becoming more and more evident as time passes...

although im not a big fan of welfare, i do realize its a necessity....for every person that abuses the system, there are 3 more people that TRULY need it....i say welfare needs to be reformed, don't just get rid of it...thats why we need someone who is creative and willing to think about ideas and suggestions from the people....i could be wrong, but that sounds more like Senator Obama...

Outrageously loony people like Ches are exactly why we cannot have any more entitlement mindedness in this country. I have a 4 yr degree and make less than Ches, I would seriously like to see the $8 a gal minority gas station, I would like to see the Virtual Storm 10,000 that some white person owns that creates hurricanes aimed at minorities. People like that think that certain segments of society are entitled to a life of luxury at the expense of everyone else just because of skin color. This is the baggage that NObama promises to continue funding even more into our society. It is time to quit the free entitlements and put slackers to work for it.

i just want people to answer one question and one question only... i thought the campaign wasnt going to be negative...SO WHO KEEPS RUNNING NEGATIVE ADS??? every time i turn around, Obama is a muslim, Obama is the Anti-Christ, because of his name Obama is related to Osama and Saddam Hussein, Obama is racist, Obama isnt patriotic, Obama is an elitist, Obama is an over-hyped rockstar, etc.....geez....i would hate to see what a real negative campaign would be like...

with all of the lies, spins, half- truths, name-calling, the NOBamas, McSames, "libbs" having mental disorders (liberals), repugnicants, etc.... one can only wonder whats next...snack time?? nap time?? finger-painting?? recess?? you guys are acting like a bunch of 1st graders...tighten up, folks...

I have a four year degree in information systems, I make 51 thousand a year. Ohh, I'm white as well. My wife is in the Navy and makes 32 grand a year, and she's white. So I guess we must be victims of reverse racism. My wife may get booted out of the navy in 4 years if she does not make PO1st class. And the company I work for charges about 300 a month for health care. So again, I guess I'm a victim of reverse racism.

You're too funny. You want everything handed to you. Sorry, I would rather work to be the most deserving which is what I've done all my life. Work my butt off for everything that I EARN and HAVE. I'm not content to have the Government hand me something. When that happens we all know what happens next, they keep you there with no hopes of making anything better for yourself. Sorry bud, I'm not standing in that line for the government hand outs. I'd rather shovel a stall full of horse dung to earn money to fee

We need an expanded post to state all of the criminal behavior of the Bush administration. I tried but got cut off before the word head start could be printed
HAHAHHA but its not funny

..was "right" as you claim? His first one, second, third or fourth, all uttered within a couple of days after the glaringly WRONG first statement that included this: "Now is the time for Georgia and Russia to show restraint, and to avoid an escalation to full scale war." -- which places the clear overpowering aggressor, Russia, in equal footing with the invaded victim nation, Georgia? Putin and Medvedev are fist-bumping right now and saying, "That's change we can believe in!"

"I am a minority but pulling in less than $90,000 a year with a 4 year degree (bet you cant find a non-minority getting such demeaning pay with a 4 year degree) and my families coverage is $500 a month!! beyond outrageous based on my pay. Wonder why so high for my family?? I think we all know why, hmmmm wonder if being a minority has any impact?? For the Goverment not to pay for my families insurance could only be perceived as racism."

How would many of the posters feel if this comment were to be posted in other countries? Embarrased? Ashamed?

I wonder why the poster did not mention that your ethnicity is not requested when your price is quoted for insurance? Only after you receive a price dod you fill in the blanks. Lean on that crutch baby. Life must be hard and the burden heavy at 90K.

Asner I know all of that and more, but I don't think swd3k does. That was my point.

The comment to which my last posting reffered was removed. I don't know why, exactly. I was trying to point out to ches37 that his assertion his wages are artificially low because of his race is untrue. I am white with the same education but make a good deal less in salary that he.

Your prejudice against people in uniforms is interesting. Have the police or military people done something to you personally? Do you realize that many of the minority people you wish to help by cutting the police and military forces are already helping themselves, serving in uniform?
As long as you keep mentioning the supposedly high paychecks we get as military members, it does come across sounding like the politics of envy. Do you realize you yourself might qualify to serve, to collect that paycheck, and to have some of those benefits that you keep calling "freebies" (all jobs have benefits included, as I am sure you know, unless you are longterm unemployed)?
I have never seen anyone as intent on taking police and military salaries and redistributing them as aid to impoverished families. It would be interesting to hear your story. Cheers, MGM

damage America? 1.Iraq. The "spin" that everyone believed Sadam had WMD'S is NOT TRUE! Many unbiased experts, here and abroad, doubted the neocon's claim. Our very own weapons inspectors begged for additional time to provide the PROOF that there were no WMD'S. Request for additional time denied. Can YOU figure out why? The cost in lost human lives, the pain, suffering and displacement of millions of innocent people and last but not least the billions of dollars wasted is staggering and mindboggling! But America lost even more, it's reputation, it's standing as a honest, moral and law abiding nation. 2.Katrina. Pictures of New Orlean's devastation went around the world. So did the pictures of an incompetent and callous Bush adm. 3.Guantanamo.
I could go on and on, but space is limited here. Do your own homework on the disastrous 8 years of the Bush "regime", if you have the courage to face facts and the truth.

Thank people like Phil Gramm. People like Phil Gramm make the bed for the problems you cite...an irresponsible economic policy which makes the U.S. weaker.

No one disputes that Minorities are at a huge disadvantage in all aspects of life here in the US. Lets clear things up with offending anyone but when I say minorities we should define that as African Americans, not white women who are mostly priveladged, not hispanics that are likely here illegally. Basic fairness is to offer fully funded, govmt paid, high quality health care, needs to start by distributing it to the minority community and that may resolve the real crisis. I am a minority but pulling in less than $90,000 a year with a 4 year degree (bet you cant find a non-minority getting such demeaning pay with a 4 year degree) and my families coverage is $500 a month!! beyond outrageous based on my pay. Wonder why so high for my family?? I think we all know why, hmmmm wonder if being a minority has any impact?? For the Goverment not to pay for my families insurance could only be perceived as racism.

1 intentionally fleeced FEMA so that the private sector, namely, their cronies could use their private contractor status to rape federal dollars in both Iraq and in New Orleans, creating inadequate forms of relief or work they were hired to do
2 create international incident to control the flow of oil, again, for their vested interests
3 Falsify the Justice system so it did the work making it politically bias thus firing lawyers who they viewed as a threat to their own agenda
4 Destroying credibility with our Friends in the world community by lies, false pretense
5 Allow the richest to gain tax exemptions while the middle class fell closer to poverty (And don't even try and state that two years were enough for House or senate to overcome this point that happened during the six prior)
6 Degrade the standards and means for teachers to help children in our public schools with a bogus program such a

Some rich old white guys sat around drinking booze and smoking cigars, used a Ouija board and conjured up those racist hurricanes to attack minorities. Then they called their gas station owner friends and told them to charge minorities $8/gallon with those trick gasoline pumps that sense your race/ethnic background. And Obama's "trickle up" theory will work, too. Confiscate even more of the hard-earned income of average working people (Obama's definition of "rich" "middle" and "working class" has changed at least four times since the campaign started if you've listened to what he's actually said) and give that money to a never married woman on public assistance who has never worked and has six children with four different men--now THAT will boost America's economy! I'm sure she'll provide jobs for lots of potential employees, too! That's a real "Hero" right?

RE: Price
You certainly have it on the right track-ashame it will not get in the headlines to the people.
How can the budget ever get balanced if approve Universal Healthcare and where do the ones that are paying preminums fit in? Supporting illegal immigrants & the children that cannot speak any english? Absolutely embarrassing. There are sooo many slackers that live off the gov't system and master it! Financial institutions are experiencing losses to extents they never dreamed - due to fraud & beating the system. Take it from someone who seeing it. There are those of us that play by the rules, live by the rules, and for what reason.... to pay for the slackers that have no rules.

Right on Chris, great comments. The republicans have destroyed this country in just 8 years. The only thing they know is "use the fear card".

The above statement is so funny because I listened to the Weekly Addresses this morning. Hillary played the FEAR card better then any Repub could have... It is to laugh...

Knowing what I know about Ayers, I wouldnt even walk on the same side of the street as his house let alone schmooze with him. This candidate is the end of the dem party, win or lose. If you want a handgun you better get it before the election, you may just need it. They`re easier to come by than a pitchfork.

The media has been heavily slanted in McCains favor. Obama put it best but let me it out there. The Republicans for 8 years have used the "Bogey Man" Propaganda to scare us into votes. The proof is in the pudding now and they cant dispute the facts because if there was a threat, we would have gotten hit again. I get in a taxi, dont show id, no questions, no baggage search, should be the same at the airport. Biggest lie that even some democrats bought is if someone puts on a uniform (Military or Police) and something bad happens, somehow that makes them a hero..no one buys that propaganda anymore. They get paid well and get outrageous benefits that I believe Obama will put a halt too. The title "Hero" is only fitting to a few and Obama is the true picture of a real American Hero. Not a well paid soldier who gets hurt doing what he is getting paid to do.

I for one would love to see more coverage of McCain. I believe many who would support him think he is the same man that I supported in 2000. He's not. McCain has coasted on a long wave of non scrutiny by the press for some time now, his numerous misstatements and flip flops are either completely minimized or ignored altogether. Just today he was saying that waterboarding was torture and that we should not do it, although he voted against a bill banning it. Of course, no followup question. He also completely mischaracterized the actions of his VP regarding the bridge to nowhere, to show what guts she had to stand up to this horrible pork project. He conveniently left out the part where she supported it right up to the point where she realized Alaska was not going to get the federal funds and would have to pay for it themselves...Two whoppers, in just one day. I say again, more coverage, but please, with both candidates, let's have followups and challenges to falsehoods and spin.
