From a fellow blogger: Sen. John McCain's campaign launched a new Internet video lambasting the media for fawning over Sen. Barack Obama. Obama supporters say that McCain, who has in the past had such good relations with the media that he called them "my base," is jealous, if not trying to gin up a nonissue for political gain. Have the media fallen for Obama? Or is the McCain campaign off base? Source
The media will always err on the side of excitement. Death, controversy and sex are what sell papers, not riding around in golf carts or hum-drum appearances at baseball games.
McCain is on the defensive right now and he needs to promote himself rather than simply denigrating his competition. The more McCain critiques Obama's every move and word, the more desperate he appears.
i dunno candiate Mccain does not seem too desperate . the polls show no bounce to candidate Obama related to his love fest in europe or the micromanaged farce in the middle east .
and Obama has shown his true colors with this ... this is not going to enhance his position with any of the voters that i know. ................................................ http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/4261 ......................................................
At the base of the New Democrat (Marxist) philosophy is this Obama statement
This is the moment when we must build on the wealth that open markets have created, and share its benefits more equitably. Trade has been a cornerstone of our growth and global development. But we will not be able to sustain this growth if it favors the few, and not the many.

If McCain were not so desparate, wouldn't he be attacking Obama's policies, record, and his stance on relevant issues? Instead McCain is attacking his character, which thus far seems far more impeccable than his own. McCain can't win on the issues or merit, so he's trying to win by smear.
As for the polls, ask President Dukakis how important polls in August are. At this time in his campaign, he was 17 points ahead of his competition.
After the speech in Berlin , Obama got out of the shower and was drying off when he looked in the mirror and noticed he was white from the neck up to the top of his head. In sheer panic and fearing he was turning white and might have to give up his hopes to be president, he called his doctor and told him of his problem.
The doctor advised him to come to his office immediately. After an examination, the doctor mixed a concoction of brown liquid, gave it to Obama, and told him to drink it all. Obama drank the concoction and replied, 'That tasted like bullshNit!' The doctor replied, 'It was, you were a quart low

You are not concearned with the issues that America will have to face in the next 4 years, you are just concearned with perpetuating your backword belief system far into the 21st century.
Please don't let us suffer because of your ignorance. Keep your stupid jokes to yourself and the monkeys that are like you.
Karma will deal with you in short order. You'll get what you deserve soon enough.
Um, MOTM, with all due respect, your joke was inapproriate, racist and extremely low-brow.
And it really sounds like you have been spoonfed all of your political "clout" from FOX news. Why don't you stop parroting O'Reilly and develop an opinion or two of your own?
And why are you always so hostile? Why do you come on this forum? You don't listen to any other opinions, you don't partake in any friendly debates, you merely resort to exactly what you did at the beginning of this thread: Offend people and show YOUR true colors over and over: A small-minded, uninformed RACIST who has to resort to recycled jokes to get any attention, which is almost ALWAYS negative attention, at all.
Were you neglected as a child? I really wonder what makes you tick.

racist ? ask the pudding head obama why he called the reverend jerimiah wrong his "spiritual mentor" for 20 years . ..................................................................................... so i am catagorized as a racist because i dare to critisize the demoncratic messiah who is himself a racist .... oh well . worse things could happen .
so , remember that the pudding head Obama voted against the surge , he voted for defeat and can not to this day admit he was and continues to be WRONG about his vote opposing the surge and the effectivness of the surge , whereas his opponent and the next POTUS voted for the surge and victory .
the surge was and continues to be effective , anbar province [which contains fallujah and mosal ] was just returned to control of the new iraq military . ...................................................... or you could vote for the pudding head obama , vote for change including higher taxes which wont affect YOU unless YOU work for a small or medium or large corperation or yourself or unless you buy anything sold by a small or medium or large corperation .
oh yes obama has promised to raise taxes , but only corperate taxes which wont affect you ... unless ... see above .
vote for change if you think keeping the air in the tires on your car at the correct pressure will solve the energy shortages and corresponding higher prices we are seeing today ....
the list goes on ... change can be bad .
racist ? ask the pudding head obama why he called the reverend jerimiah wrong his "spiritual mentor" for 20 years .
what has the pudding head accomplished ? define his "change" and "hope" ? .....................................................
lottsa luck . ................................................... America does not need that kind of change . we need a POTUS , we need McCain .
the opinions i express are my own and not those of the managment ,

Pudding head, Mike? What does that mean? Why do I imagine if someone called McCain "pudding head," you'd complain that it's disrespectful to veterans or something.
And one more thing, MOTM, you can get as self-righteous about the abortion issue as you want, but you are exactly the type of Conservative that is the first one bitching and whining about "unwed mothers" in the Public Assistance office. I don't understand how you can play it both ways, but you do.
And let me tell you something. Sarah Palin's daughter is a prominent, child of wealth. So unless you are a Governor's daughter, a celibutard, or independently wealthy, what world of opportunities do you think the average pregnant 17 year old has? Not Many! So I suppose that the average pregnant 17 year old should just throw her whole life away...right?
And if Sarah Palin's family is so "off limits," (which is fine, they probably should be) I don't think she should be able to use them as perpetual photo-ops and props by parading them all over the stage.
And I REALLY hate it when MEN start espousing their anti-choice views on the world.

So how long have you been working for the NFDPW MOTM? I worked in a factory for 30 years and usually seen your comments on the bathroom wall somewhere, I was suprised your spelling was as good as it was. (well, I guess spellcheck can even be used by 1st graders) Go back to Utah and print your ignorance there. I hear there's a pigeon shoot Saturday and the kids can run out in the field and finish off the clipped winged birds with their BB guns...
right - i am the racist .... what follows was put together from a book written by the demoncratic messiah , Barrack Hussein Obama , racist extrodinaire . watch this if you can stomach it .... then ask yourself if you really want this pudding head to be the president of the USA . i do not .
this is just the tip of the iceberg .

Mike, your racist undertones not withstanding, allow me to take issue with your tax concerns. Will Obama raise taxes? Yes, if you make more thna $250,000. And if you make more than $250,000, your taxes will merely return to President Clinton levels. You remember the Clinton administration, 8 years of peace and a roaring economy, where everyone made money?
I know your hero is George W. Bush, under whose direction we've fallen into massive foreign debt, record poverty, a pathetically weak dollar, etc. And McCain is ready to follow in Bush's footsteps and continue the same failed policies and disastrous economic patterns. McCain said himself, he "doesn't understand the economy."
Not Bashful About Raising Taxes According to OntheIssues.org the following exchange occurred at the Democratic Presidential Debate in Los Angeles California:
Question: If either one of you become president, and let the Bush tax cuts lapse, there will be effectively tax increases on millions of Americans.
OBAMA: On wealthy Americans. CLINTON: That's right. OBAMA: I'm not bashful about it.
-2008 Democratic debate in Los Angeles, California; Jan 30, 2008
The Bush Tax Cuts "And the Bush tax cuts--people didn't need them, and they weren't even asking for them, and that's why they need to be less, so that we can pay for universal health care and other initiatives."
-Obama: 2007 Democratic Presidential Debate; Howard University, June 28, 2007
Who Needs Tax Cuts? "We heard the President say he wants to make tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans permanent, when we know that at a time of war and economic hardship, the last thing we need is a permanent tax cut for Americans who don't need them and weren't even asking for them."
-Obama's response to the 2008 State of the Union address; Jan 28, 2008

Maybe MOTM makes more than $250,000 a year and he's afraid of losing his Bush tax cuts.
Apparently he thinks the country is fine and dandy just the way it is. I almost wish I had his attitude... to me, the economy is in the toilet and the country needs some serious help (enter Obama).
Even if Obama is elected, he has his work cut out for him... he's got 8 years of chaos to correct, 8 years of damage to fix.
