DO YOU FEEL THE WAY MCCAIN/PALIN ARE RUNNING CAMPAIGN THEY ARE HANDING IT OVER TO OBAMA?
Posted 7 weeks 3 days ago byThis week has got to be the hottest week in this election circus yet.. McCain and his Maverick Sidekick Palin have been going for blood where Obama has been concerned, and I am sure you all have viewed it. Now it has just become completely pathetic for McCain. I am nothing more than embarrassed for him and what is going on. On the Obama front, well, he is doing damage control and keeping it to an even flow with all these accusations. He does not want to do anything to screw up his chances of getting the Presidency which is looking like it's in his bag. IF the Rev. Wright stir up didn't do it; the Bill Ayres didn't do it; the ACORN scandal didn't do it; his alleged terrorist connections didn't do; his citizenship didn't do it; his wife didn't do it; and GOD knows a handful of other things that have come up during his campaign didn't get him tossed out, then frankly... congratulations Mr. President Obama....
Now, here are my questions:
Do you feel with the way McCain has been running his campaign, with only 23 days left before election day, he is handing it now over to Obama?
Do you feel his campaign manager has done as good a job as Obama's? Obama has had a clear message all through out his campaign, and unfortunately McCain has been all over the place with messages really confusing the American people, including his own supporters.
Finally, do you feel Palin has gone way over the top in her accusations of Obama? Now I know how many of you feel, but there is a fine line here, and I feel to stir up the crowds to hate and wanting to kill Obama, regardless of how I feel about him, was wrong.

They use predictability and conspiracy on all:

Metastasized by it, government of USA,
And USA elite, and pliticians, and CIA,
All metastasized - by greed and sin.
Imperial resurectors lie, for to win.
Sure they use again McCain head,
It might be spell for Russian breed,
It could explain the Palin Russiness
And some McCain coherent stiffness
Of honorable man - as I so far read.
The doom machine above bust it up,
Including part Republican party's core
And Media and Press, a Russian corridor,
Like they enlarge, invading European gaps,
And blocking my advise by mass media lolly-pup.
McCain tells the truth about
Submitted on October 13th, 2008 by BeoMcCain tells the truth about Obama and asks legit questions and they call him a racist. Well, is that how it will be whenever a black runs for anything? Question blacks and you are automatically doing it because you hate blacks. Forget the fact that OBama has some serious flaws as a candidate. Truth is, if he hadn't been so arrogant and gave himself the four years of being a senator to gain some real experience, it might have worked for him. This way, especially since he absolutely refuses to answer questions, he appears like he is hiding his real agenda, and that is what troubles people. His agenda and philosophy about government is nebulous to say the least, and he has kept it that way purposely.
As for McCain. he should keep up the pressure on ACORN and other Obama weaknesses. He should tie Obama to Reid and Pelosi the way OBama ties him to Bush. I cannot imagine how socialistic this country will go with a dem Congress and Executive branch. Personally, I like to see a balance of power. Whatever party is a majority in Congress, should have an opposition in the presidency. This keeps the wingers on both sides from pushing through agendas which are out of control with no checks. It is scary to think of a Pelosi, Reid, Obama triumvirate.
No
Submitted on October 13th, 2008 by rom12921McCain/Palin ticket are unfortunately having to fight 2 fronts - against opponent and against media.
MSM does Obama's smearing for him.
I also think states w/in margin of error in the polls will break McCain's way.

Submitted on October 13th, 2008 by TreeTopFlyerI have been saying since the primary that it seems like they are both trying to lost. McCain seems to up the ineptitude bar every week and is immediately matched by Obama. I think the long term result has been that the media focuses more on McCain.
I think both campaign managers are politicians. There is no conviction on anything any more...just reaction to poling. It is pathetic.
I don't think Palin is over the top. There are huge issues with virtually everything about Obama that has never been discussed. I don't like that it is Palin that is attacking but if the McCain campaign is unwilling to let her talk about her views, the state of the world, or anything else, they may as will at least let her point out the numerous faults with Obama.
McCain is bizarre
Submitted on October 12th, 2008 by John 2000I am starting to think that he was brainwashed over in Viet Nam and is under some sort of sophisticated mind control. He behaves like (excuse the crude expression) he is Obama's b*tch. If he says something halfway aggressive and insinuating the truth it's like he receives a code that makes him whimper around like a little puppy and yapping sad eyed about being sorry and master is a great guy. So yeah, I am seeing a guy with brain damage. Palin ought to slap him across the side of the head and say "why the f*ck did you drag me into your psychotic crap?"
He's just greasing the skids for Obama kinda like Hillary did late in her sequence of self destruction.
Guilt by association
Submitted on October 12th, 2008 by kevinkindOne of the many problems with the McCain camp is, They have never understood what makes "guilt by association" work.
It doesn't work simply because someone knows someone who has had a negative past, GBA only works with voters if the candidates past actions are similar to a person who is considered by society to be a villain.
Bill Clinton , Spitzer works on many levels.
McCain, George Wallace works even if they may have never met.
Bill and Hillary are doing
Submitted on October 12th, 2008 by BeoBill and Hillary are doing what they have to do to save Hillary's future in the Dem party. No more, no less. They almost have to do this.
Wouldn't it have been refreshing, though, if the Clinton's just told Obama "NO" We will not support you publicly after you called us racist unless you offer up a public apology. It would have been so nice just to see one of these politicians react like a human being and not like a stooge running after the last vote.
I guess I am as disgusted with the lot of them, much as you seem to be.

Submitted on October 12th, 2008 by Skye RiversTHIS is my point exactly.... you are right! The bottom line is that there are flaws with all of them. AND you can't trust any of them. I find it completely disheartening about Obama and all his lies. And who knows, maybe Palin is doing all a service, but it does not seem like it and yes, McCain should learn how to speak English, especially if he is going to be President... Hillary and Bill again, your correct, and there they stood today in PA supporting Obama with Biden. I am just sad... very sad...
McCain's inability to speak
Submitted on October 12th, 2008 by BeoMcCain's inability to speak the King's English has screwed him up. He does not articulate his positions clearly enough. Obama does not articulate his positions either, in fact he outright refuses to lay out his specifics, but he does it artfully.
Palin is asking questions that should have been asked of Obama long ago by the MSM. Hillary tried to raise them and Bill tried to raise them, but the issues were ignored by the media. Bill Clinton was labeled a racist and so was anyone else who questioned Obama's backround.
I do not think Palin is the cause of the recent outbursts. I think the case is the total frustration of people who are not getting their answers about a guy who very well might be the next president.
Now that it is looking as if McCain is taking a dive (in boxing terms) the general populace is demanding that some of these questions about Obama be answered before he takes office. They want to know just how far left he is and whether or not he will turn this country to socialism. These are valid points.
Obama is doing his country a disservice by not answering the questions about his past affiliations and about his citizenship. He obviously feels that it is more important that he keep silent for his own selfish reasons.
I do not understand all the blame going to Palin as we had the same crap going on before she hit the scene. Most of it was by Obama supporters and Obama playing the race card whenever anyone challenged him. This is more of the same. The Obama campaign has done more to hurt race relations than anyone in recent history.
