McCain leans on Clinton on mortgage plan, Ayers

It is interesting that the McCain campaign wants to raise questions about Obama's character that has been vetted by the media during the primaries and let the American people decide. Yet when the American people raise questions about Palin or himself, then they are being picked on by the liberal media. You can't have it both ways McCain! There is a noticeable lack of transparency in the McCain campaign, mainstream media has not vetted McCain's military record, nor have they taken a strong hold on his erratic and aggressive behavior. Palin is under investigation and her husband has been uncomfortable involved in her administration, and has a past himself of involvement with a secessionist group.

And, then there is the lack of plan from McCain. the median needs to keep contrasting Obama's plans and McCain's. I'd like to know more about their transition planning and who they have surrounded themselves.

What about McCain's anger management problem?

McCain is laying out red herrings any where he can. I'm sure that Obama's camp could do the same, but he's too busy talking about the dire issues plaguing our country. Whereas McCain is too busy slinging mud to pay any mind to the real issues at stake.

American President should be one who is loyal to America from the day that person is born.

Yes, maybe Obama did "pal around with" a terrorist 30 years after the fact, but our good old buddy Palin has been active in the Alaska independence movement for the past 10 years or so. Since that party stands for secession from the United States, doesn't that make her an enemy combatant? Maybe Bush and Co. should send her to Guantanamo.

McCain is getting slimier and slimier. He is willing to tear this country apart for his senile ambition. Because he has served it well, I can only think that his current state of mind blossoms from senility. If he were to win, there would be so much bitterness directed toward him that he would not be able to lead.

McCain is obviously so desperate! Maybe he should investigate Obama's kindergarten class, perhaps he'd find a terrorist, murderer or even a war veteran that Obama spent recess with!

We would hope that the candidates and their advisors are honorable men and women, making it likely that ARCD (age related cognitive disorder) may be used to excuse them.

What a loser McCain is. He does not have anything else to say, so he is going below the belt. A Republican Governor is friends with Ayers. Also, Hannity hangs aroud anti-semitic people.

If the debates were not totally biased in the questions asked a topic like this would have come up. But since the questions were picked by biased people they clearly avoided key subjects in favor of obama.

McCain running on honesty? When he constantly lies about Obama's tax plan? When he lies about Palin, who supported the Bridge to Nowhere? When one of supporters runs the Annenberg Foundation where Obama and Ayers were both working? This is ludicrous. Let's get back to serious issues instead of trivial mud-slinging.

Th

McCain is whining, poor, canidate for president. Why dont he addess the serious issuues that plague the country and leave whining alone. I'm sick of it.

Since McCain is into truth these days why doesn't he explain his role in the Keating Five scandal,

Mccain does have the guts to confront Obama face to face, because he would not be able to back up what he would be saying.

I think McCain is making two valid points here.

Clinton's not in the race any more; Obama is. Maybe Clinton got too negative for voters, and dwelled too much on non-issues.

Didn't McCain bomb civilians in Hanoi, thus making him a war criminal? OK, no one really wants to go there. However McCain and his supporter see no shame in making a connection between Ayers, terrorism and Obama. And that's even more of a stretch.

I read the magazine article "Make-Believe Maverick". Is this information true?

The economy is currently straight down the porcelain king. If the politician's job is to say what people want to hear, one would think that both Obama and McCain would be busy holding discussions on how to repair that which is left of our economy. They are instead talking about something that is not relevant to today's situation.

TELL US WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR OUR COUNTRY NOT WHAT THE COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU.

Senator McCain wouldn't call Senator Obama on William Ayers, because he's afraid that his association with a known criminal and friend, G. Gordon Liddy, would come up.

For those who aren't old enough to remember the movie "The Caine Mutiny", it's the story of an aging Naval Commander and war hero, Captain Queeg (played by Humphrey Bogart), in the twilight of his career, attempting to hang on to past glory, and who is slowly losing his mind to paranoia and envy of his younger officers. One night, during a training exercise, Queeg's destroyer, the USS Caine find itself in heavy weather, and Captain Queeg panics at a moment of grave danger to the ship. His first officer, reluctantly relieves Queeg of command and saves the ship. Later, at a courts-martial for the first officer, Queeg takes the witness stand and gives testimony against him, and in a rampling diatribe, descends further into madness, and impeaches himself.

The more I see and hear John McCaine, the more I am reminded of that film.

I find this type of smear and fear politics very disappointing. But I guess when you have no other issues left to campaign on you resort to false issues and the distortion of facts to try to once again make people afraid. This is a tactic of the frantic and the desperate. I am sorry to see that a man that I have never really agreed with but did admire resort to the same tactic that hurt him so deeply in a prior campaign. I do not know how he can continue to his head up and continue to look America in the eye knowing that he has sunk to the lowest of the low. It is not to late to regain his dignity. I hope he chooses the honorable path that he had promised he would take.

The William Ayers issue is important because it speaks to Obama's character and ideology, and because Ayers is only the tip of the iceberg. Obama's chosen past adult associates include not only urban terrorist Ayers, but an assortment of left-wing extremists, racist and America-hating preachers, Chicago political hacks, and even criminals. These are all despicable people who hold no love for the USA. It is ludicrous to claim that these associations had no influence on Obama. The media have tried mightily to give Obama a pass on this, but he should be pressed to thoroughly explain these past influences to the voters.

Mccain needs to stick to the present and stop looking to the past the past is the past so what! What we need right now is action and less talk about who did what back then and who knows who back then. Mrs Obama was speaking an a interview with Larry King Live on wed. The American people dont care about the past the y care about what are you going to do now in the present. And for Mccain he as nothing to offer in the present!

Poor McCain. What a coward.

The more I look at both sides of the candidates the more I wonder who would make me feel safer and who is more honest. I felt at ease with Hilary, but even though I am a democrat, I must make the choice and my choice is John .

Today I lost whatever respect I had for you Mr. John Mccain...You are propagating the same politics which you had earlier opposed and were yourself a victim of. Let me tell you, I was voting for you earlier on, but decided against it when you selected palin for running mate , but still had respect for you. Now that's gone

The following was a very interesting read:
Obama, ACORN, and the churches
Presidential candidate Barack Obama has extensive experience in community organizing. In the 1980s, Obama was lead organizer for a campaign funded by the Catholic Church in Chicago that was formed on the principles of radical Saul Alinsky.

Senator Barack Obama's political ambitions stirred Jackie Kendall, executive director of the Midwest Academy, a Chicago-based training center for community organizers, to crow, "He's given community organizing a good name."
This remark was sparked by the fact that Obama entered politics through community organizing. In 1995, one analyst wrote, "He says he is drawn to politics, despite its superficialities, as a means to advance his real passion and calling: community organization….What if a politician were to see his job as that of an organizer, as part teacher and part advocate, one who does not sell voters short but who educates them about the real choices before them? As an elected public official, for instance, I could bring church and community leaders together easier than I could as a community organizer or lawyer."
Obama has had extensive experience as a community organizer. In the 80s, he was the lead organizer of the Developing Communities Project, a campaign funded by Chicago's south-side Catholic churches and formed on the organizing principles of Saul Alinsky. He spent another four years building an organization in Roseland and the nearby Altgeld Gardens public housing complex.
ACORN is another community-organizing network with Alinskyian roots. Before going off to law school in the early 90s, Obama directed ACORN's partner organization, Project Vote. Meeting with ACORN leaders in November, he reminded them of this, saying, "I've been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work."
ACORN, an acronym for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, considers itself the nation's largest community organization. Its Political Action Committee, ACORN Votes, announced its endorsement of Senator Obama's run for the US presidency in February 2008.
The Problems with Alinskyian Organizing
The community organizing embraced by Senator Obama is an inheritance from Saul Alinsky who founded the Industrial Areas Foundation and wrote about his organizing principles in two books, Reveille for Radicals and Rules for Radicals. Today's major organizing networks - ACORN, PICO, DART, Gamaliel and, of course, Alinsky's own Industrial Areas Foundation - owe their structures and their methodologies to Alinsky. The old time organizers who founded these networks were either trained through the Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF) or by IAF organizers.
Alinsky's principles are deeply unethical, however. He teaches, for example, that in politics, the ends justify the means. Specifically, he teaches organizers to seek political power by any means that accomplishes that end. Local agendas are used to serve a larger, organizational agenda that is sometimes diametrically opposed to the values of its membership. Faith-based institutions are evangelized into liberationist theory through a variety of mechanisms. These are serious problems for the religious bodies who have become institutional members of the Alinskyian networks.
These Alinskyian principles are manifested in myriad, cynical ways. Obama unabashedly explained how he became "churched" in a 2007 speech:
"It's around that time [while working as an organizer for the Developing Communities Project (DCP) of the Calumet Community Religious Conference (CCRC) in Chicago] that some pastors I was working with came around and asked if I was a member of a church. "If you're organizing churches," they said, "it might be helpful if you went to a church once in a while. And I thought, "I guess that makes sense."
Complicity of Religious Bodies with Alinskyian Organizing
If, as Alinsky taught, worldly power has two forms - money and people - the organizer's rule of "follow the money" is to be taken seriously. Where do the Alinskyian networks get their people and money?
The answer is that Alinskyian networks get people and money from religious institutions. Catholic, Jewish, evangelical, mainline Protestant, and a spattering of Muslim congregations have been the primary members of the networks organizing by institution.
An analysis of Catholic Campaign for Human Development grants demonstrates that over the decades, about 33% of its beneficence goes to Alinsky-style, church-based community organizations sporting highly politicized, left-wing agendas. This means the ACORN network receives approximately 5% of the national CCHD annual budget. The Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF) network receives approximately 16% of the national CCHD annual budget. These figures, however, don't include the dues paid by member churches, the money given to network affiliates through local Catholic Campaign for Human Development grants, nor the grants coming into the networks through other Catholic bodies. Nor does it account for the money raised by other religious groups through similar "poverty programs".
Using donations for the poor to help power-seeking politicians attain their ends is pure Alinskyianism. One of Obama's Chicago mentors, Gregory Galluzzo - a former Jesuit priest, now married and Executive Director of the Gamaliel community organizing network - was interviewed by a writer to whom he showed the training manual he uses with new organizers. "Galluzzo told me that many new trainees have an aversion to Alinsky's gritty approach because they come to organizing as idealists rather than realists. But Galluzzo's manual instructs them to get over these hang-ups. 'We are not virtuous by not wanting power,' it says. 'We are really cowards for not wanting power,' because 'power is good' and 'powerlessness is evil.

You Go John McCain!!!!!!!

You confront Obama so everyone can see that he lies!!!

Listen to Sean Hannity....He has footage of Bill Ayers speaking of what he did.

It's chilling!!!!

Obama has answered the charge.. He stated clearly enough for my ears that he never palled around with Ayers, they were never friends, and that the accusation was false... If your strategy is to dwell on that point, old man, and beat it to death then you are to be admired for your "intensity" and judged for your acumen. Maybe with a little Viagra under your belt you could have stated your position in the debate... As far as your excuse, "the issue never came up during the question-and-answer session with voters", why don't you talk to Sarah and she can counsel you on how to work in a non sequitur into a public forum.

I think Mccain should be addressing the issues,right now our concern is the economy,jobs and how to end the wars,is costing taxpayers.Attacking Obama personality is not working and it is not going to work.How low do you have go just to be elected president Sen.Maccain?In the second debate you can or refer to Sen.Obama as THAT ONE,you are anger,very angery,Mr.Maccain.America not need another angery President.You will win the election,you will not president of the free world because you very angery,we dont need you.

Why doesn't John McCain and Sarah Palin stop slinging the bullcrap, and give all us poor people some real answers as to their real plans to save the country, they haven't shown me a thing yet. Obama was a very young person at the time, maybe he can't remember, just like McCain can't remember how many money making homes he owns.

How low will they go?
We aint seen nutten yet.
These futile attempts just wont work this time around.
Whats next ,the kitchen sink.

I remember the Vietnam war years well. I am 60 years old and a US Navy veteran. All you thirty somethings out there listen up: The war in Vietnam was horrible. It WAS terrorism. It ruined countless lives. If you were 18 years old and male you got drafted and you could not even vote, or consume alcohol legally. That time in our history was a mess. Buddhist monks were burning themselves alive to protest the war. Kent state happened - but then you don't have any clue how it feels to hear that unarmed college students have been slaughtered by our own troops on our own soil. You don't know what it is like to think "am I next if I protest?". That sounds a lot like terrorism to me. Ayers is a professor, and a respected citizen. Obama was just a child at the time Ayers supposedly tried to "destroy America". Those who protested the war have been forgiven. McCain, get over the idea that war is somehow glorious, you are grabbing at straws here. Just - GET OVER IT. Tell us how we can get our retirement back that we just lost - on your watch dude. Half my wife's and my retirement just went up in smoke and your AIG cronies are taking retreats to resorts on our dime.

I AM EXTREMELY SADDENED BY MCCAIN AND FEEL SORRY FOR HIM. THIS DESPERATE MOVE IS WAY BENEATH HIM. FOR YEARS, I STOOD BY HIM. THIS IS VERY DEMEANING OF A MAN OF HIS CALIBRE. IT BREAKS MY HEART FURTHER TO SEE HIM NOW DRAG HIS WIFE TO THIS LOW LEVEL. IT'S SAD, SAD, SAD. THAT'S VERY UNSOLDIERLIKE TO HIDE BEHIND WOMEN INSTEAD OF PROTECTING THEM. BREAK A MAN AND YOU'LL SEE HIS TRUE COLOR.
ON THE OTHER HAND, OBAMA HAS TRULY DEMONSTRATED HIS LEADERSHIP IN SPITE OF HIS YOUTH IN COMPARISON.. MY VOTE NOW GOES TO OBAMA.

Keating 5 & AFC. Thats all that needs to be said. What do you have to say about that McCain? Pretty shifty people and just think you went even 8 years old.

john mccain is a pithetic old man whom has sold his soul to be president.

u gotta do what u gotta do mccain, thank goodness it's not that easy to trick america

McSane is a desperate old man and Palin is a nut. What happened to the clean and issue oriented campaign that he promised us? The alzeimers must be getting worse.

EVERYONE OUT THERE WHO IS SUPPORTING OBAMA AND SAY THEY WILL VOTE FOR HIM, JUST REMEMBER THIS.......YOU WOULDN'T LISTEN TO HONEST AND INFORMED PEOPLE IN ALL WALKS OF LIFE WHO ARE TRYING TO TELL YOU, ME AND EVERYONE ELSE "WHAT" OBAMA IS AND WHAT HE REPRESENTS. YOU NEED TO HONESTLY LOOK AT HIS BACKGROUND TO SEE "WHO AND WHAT" HE HAS BEEN AFFLIATED WITH DURING THE PAST YEARS. IT IS DAM SCAREY AND IF YOU VOTE FOR HIM REMEMBER....THEY TRIED TO TELL YOU AND YOU WOULDN'T LISTEN. VOTE FOR MCCAIN,

Was Ayres wrong? Was it treason, terrorism, or patriotism?

The federal government during Viet Nam was ignoring the will of the people here and in Southeast Asia, dropping napalm, spraying Agent Orange, carpet bombing thatch-roofed villages, killing college students (Kent State) and abusing protesters at home.

Maybe bombing the Pentagon was the morally correct thing to do?

It seems to me that we have quickly forgotten the lessons we learned with Clinton. We forget that character is important. McCain has character. We forget about the sleaze that surrounded the Clinton Administration. Now we want to elect a man that is even more dangerous than Clinton ever was. A man who associates with terrorists is a terrorist himself. A man who sits Sunday after Sunday listening to hate talk about America, cannot love America. Obama is not fit to be President.

Obama's statist socialist policies and his ties to organized labor will only make the current economic crisis look like a walk in the park. He wants to raise taxes on small business which is the very foundation of the US economy and nationalize health care resulting in even greater government deficits. Perhaps he can bring in Reverend Wright at that point to really goddamn America

McCain has become McPitiful and Sarah Palin remains and is even growing into a larger McClueless . Together they do make quite a pair. They have become a joke. The longer they rant the more their true colors appear. John McCain could have retired in the Senate, loose the race for Presient with dignity, and still remain somewhat of a war hero. His own ego and inability to understand what is now happening is making him look and act really old and pitiful. He has become so erratic that he can not even remember the same day stances he has taken. Ms. Palin needs to go back to Alaska and face her own criminal charges.

Let me get this straight. McCain insists that Obama is inexperienced. Wouldn't that make Obama an outsider? And isn't that what the nation needs in Washington, someone whose experience is not tainted by years of being part of the Washington establishment? What did McCain do before entering the Senate?
Well, we are not supposed to comment about his horrible internment in Hanoi. And, indeed, Senator McCain performed heroically then, but not now. Today, his pathetic ambition presented to the electorate as a love of country truly disappoints and ridicules this nation. We need leadership, not angry old men.

The country's economy and our collective personal wealth are slipping away and millions of people are worried about their future welfare. I could care less about Mr. Ayers, but I do care about how we will get out of the crisis we face today.

If John McCain thinks Mr. Ayers is a threat, then why doesn't he have him picked up and charged under provisions of the Patriots Act? If he can't do this, then he needs to shut up and tell us how he is going to fix the economy. Robert

McCain's claim about Obama and Eyers shows his ignorance of the Unites States history. Here is a reminder John: There was a global sweep toward socialism in the 1950's and 60's which also hit the U.S. And of course there was a civil disobedience campaign against the establishment by blacks and white groups that was justified -except armed insurrection- and which yielded
the good things that America enjoys today.

Without agitators like Bill Eyers, or radicals like Malcom X, a) The American Indians would have been aliens -not citizens- in their land. b) State governors of the right-wing kind- like George Wallace- would have been standing in front of universities to keep blacks out. c) The African Americans may still have been called "niggers" , or might still have been considered 3/5 of a person. Obama might have not been a qualifying candidate today on the 60% person only , but since he is, you might spill your bitterness and call the events that paved the way for him to be there "terrorism." d) The Civil Rights Act of 1964, the most important civil rights law in our country, would not have passed without the upheaval of the late 50's and the 60's. e) Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society" initiative flopped, and he was forced no to seek a second term because the Vietnam war and the inequalities at home had radicalized the society so much. But the blame was
placed by historians on politicians - and Robert McNamara had admitted it publicly. f) The agitators who tried to help the poor and the victims of inequality
deserve some credit for, while other like Martin Luther King lost their lives
to bigots that share your right wing ideology.

I think it is quite hypocritical to lament to Charles Gibson that you feel the loss of $4 trillion by the Americans on Wall Street, while you favor more deregulation of
the financial sector, and while the AIG failing firm took $ 85 billion from the Treasury and awarded $35 million bonuses, and $ 1 million lifetime annuities
to its executives who messed up the company in the first place. And while the American financial system is sinking, and the ordinary American are going broke,
there you are digging 50 year old events of a turbulent past and trying to pile the dirt on your opponent. Well, senator. Those events made your opponent a 100% person in the Constitution, gave the voting right to everybody, and, therefore, those events deserve the historical respect of having equalized an grossly unequal society. And if you want to call the "terrorism" because the
9/11 has made that word an anathema in our souls, that is your call - not those
who escape the sub-human social level and were recognized as humans.

Senator McCain needs to apologize to Senator Obama for making such accusations. Why didn't McCain raise these questions when Obama was first voted into the Senate? Wouldn't it have been something we should have known then~ if there was any truth to it? I even heard Cindy McCain get into the frey of dirty politics...saying Obama voted against funding the troops and Senator McCain voted no on the same bill, why isn't that mentioned? The McCains are looking desperate!

I've had a tough time deciding between McCain & Obama, but lately McCain has been making it increasingly more difficult for me to feel good about giving him my vote. The Palin selection was questionable, but I understand and gave him a pass because it was obviously a gift to the social conservatives. And now it seems as if he's entrenched with them and ignores some of us that are more center-right. This whole Ayers drama seems like a pitch to fuel the flames of the social conservatives. I don't think Obama is a terrorist. How could the Democratic party willingly prop up a presidential candidate whom they suspected was actually a terrorist? That wouldn't do anyone any good. It hardly makes sense if you think about it. I honestly believe that you'd have to force yourself to believe it's actually true. I really need McCain to get back the issues, specifically, the economy, national defense, and immigration. I've voted republican for almost 20yrs, but if this keeps going on, at worst I'll vote Obama, and at best I won't vote at all. It's tough to be a republican these day...the social conservatives have completely destroyed our party.

Nonsense. As in not sensible.

Tis guy gives a squat about5 American folks' and their mortgages? Give me a break.

Posturing. Costly posturing that will lead to his buddies taking profits and the screw-d remaining or being multiply screw-d. Everybody likes a big party.

Why isn't the media (and the Obama campaign) bringing up McCain's ties to the traitor g. gordon liddy??

Sarah Palin – A Disguised Conspirator?

If McCarthy-era guilt-by-association is a valid political consideration, Sarah Palin is the guiltiest in this presidential campaign. She is roaming around the country on a campaign that is funded by taxpayers parading a man who claims to have recently terminated his membership in the Alaskan Independence Party. AIP aims to tear America into pieces and walk away with its massive land and rich oil reserve.
AIP creation was inspired by the extremely violent anti-American founding father Joe Vogler. The AIP website has a statement by Joe that reads "I've got no use for America or her damned institutions." In 1992 when Vogler renounced his allegiance to the United States he said, "The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government." He cursed the stars and stripes and said, "I won't be buried under their damned flag. When Alaska is an independent nation they can bring my bones home."
Sarah's husband “First Dude” Todd remained an AIP member from 1995 to 2002. In her own political conviction or in support of her husband views, Sarah attended the 1994 AIP convention. It has been acknowledged by the McCain Campaign that Sarah also attended the 2000 AIP Convention. In 2006 she was a keynote speaker for the convention. This year she did not attend in person but recorded a video of greetings and good wishes for AIP members and asked them to keep up their good work! How can one attend, be a member or give a keynote address to an organization that he or she does not fully know about? What good work have the AIP members been doing?
Neither Sarah nor Todd has ever denounced association with the radical Alaskan Independence Party. During this campaign, Sarah has completely remained silent about her husband’s dark side. Based on her own logic, it can be said that Sarah continues to "pal around" with an unpatriotic Eskimo husband who not only hates America but wants to destroy it. Under the same theory of “guilt-by-association,” John McCain can be accused of having a disguised conspirator on his presidential ticket. Sarah has refused to openly share views that she holds about this nation. Her struggle to answer simple questions by Katie Couric is a testament of her inner negative feelings about this nation. In a follow up interview with Carl Cameron, Sarah surprisingly said, "The Sarah Palin in those interviews with Katie Couric was annoyed.” Then she added, "I did not want to get clobbered.” What was she annoyed of and what she was afraid of being clobbered for? It must be something negative that she had in mind. Simply, her longstanding association with AIP and its current and former militant members including Todd has not only made Sarah bitter but also ignorant of the positive general knowledge about our great nation.

Obama should respond to McCain re Ayers. He should explain if his association with Ayers wasn't that big a deal. Dimissing it as smear is evidence that he is not being straight with voters. McCain has every right to push this until Obama's statement that 'Ayers was just a guy in the neighborhood' is proven either true or false.

McCain is such a cry baby! Hey we can dig up the past too: "Keating 5" corruption scandal McCain's self claimed biggest mistake of his like. How McCain cheated on his disabled wife, for Cindy 18 years his junior. Why doesn't Palin testify in the trooper gate scandal she and her office called 36 times to have her brother-in-law fired and sent innumerable emails. McCain's top campaign adviser was taking $10000 per month from Fannie Mae until august, McCain campaign is filled with lobbyists , McCain graduated at the bottom his class, he has been coasting so far just because he was a POW. The guy has zero decency would not even shake hands with Obama.

McCain is right that candidates should get fully vetted by telling us about their relationships.He is also right that an associate of Obama did a bad act ; not a friend of Obama, not a wife of Obama, not a son of Obama , and definitely not Obama. Can we say the same about the Keating scandal? Obama was 8 during the Ayers affair; McCain was 58 in the Keating affair. Let McCain tell the voters about the trips, vacations and sponsored activities that Keating spent on him. Cindy McCain drug problems, sexual harassment of ladies in the military by McCain; anger management, adulterous affairs on his wife, including with Cindy. Yes McCain, voters do need to know! Is it my associate or is it me?

Three of the Keating 5 were democrats - John Glenn a very admirable former astronaut and United States Senator was a member of the Keating 5 - Senator John Glenn has been campaigning for Barak Obama are you saying that it is OK for one but not for another? Especially after John McCain was found to be completely innocent of any wrongdoings with the Keating 5 episode - by a democratic investigating committee! William Ayers is an unrepentant terrorist who is upset that his terrorist organization did not do more than they did. While Americans were mourning 9/11/2001 Ayers was applauding the slimebags responsible.

I am glad that McCain is hitting him on Ayers and at least he gives Hillary credit. Did anyone else notice Dumbo I mean Obummers I mean Obama used Hillary's stump speech AND her health care plan in his debate. Just something else he stole. The man doesn't have an orginial thought in his empty little head.

Even if you look past all the money that obama gave to ayers and all the money ayer gave to obama, even if you look past the fact that obama spent time in ayers living room, and served time on boards with him, the fact is obama was a community organizer and his job was to what is right for the people of his community, and bill ayers teaching our children is not in best interest of our children or or community's, why didnt obama stand up and say ayers should not be teaching in his neighborhood, obama is wrong no matter how you look at it,
and another thing why would ayers support obama if they did not agree on things?

Do you ever notice how Obama starts talking "street thug" whenever his underlying motives or judgment are questioned?

Is this what we have to look forward to from our president? A STREET THUG???

When word comes out about McCain’s connection as Chick Keating’s hit-man in the Keating 5 Savings and Loan Scandal that has since cost us, the taxpayer’s 200 billion dollars because of McCain’s greed and poor judgement, his credibility is lost.

His running mate, Sarah Palin, it appears takes on the special interests, but only when it suits her purpose, When a bill comes in for a friend, relative, or pet project, she’s more that willing to waste taxpayer’s money on it. - HYPOCRITE

Now comes a story on Thomas Muthee, her pastor, who spews
anti-semitic comments and is still living in the 16th century.

As for the troopergate problem that she has been found in violation of, how can
it be politically motivated when it was promulgated by a legislative panel consisting of a majority of Republicans?

I think McCain and Palin’s biggest problem is that they don’t know which party they
belong to . Who are they fighting against, anyway. Democrats, or Republicans?
I guess the term Maverick is now defined as stupid and inept.
