This may be a little off topic, but I was wondering if there any poles out there that addresses the BS, lies and hate mongering that go on in the McCain camp?
It would be nice, if Americans could send a strong message that would give MaCain reason to question his current campaign tactics.
I for one want to hear ideas not crap!

B-b-But! BUT! George W. Bush will be vindicated by history and historians! After we're all dead! After we're all GLAD we're dead, thanks to George W. Bush treating the world like a toddler treats a diaper (hat tip to Graydon Carter for that one).

October 7, 2008 Business big shot: Neel Kashkari Tom Bawden A space technology whizz who works in the US Treasury is expected to be appointed to run one of the world's largest investment funds. Neel Kashkari, 35, who developed technology for Nasa missions in his first career, is thought to have been chosen to oversee the $700 billion fund that the US Treasury has set up to buy bad mortgages from financial institutions.
Mr Kashkari's appointment, which is to be announced soon but is likely to expire when a new government takes office in January, comes less than 18 months after Henry Paulson, the US Treasury Secretary, poached him from Goldman Sachs. There he headed the IT Security investment banking practice in San Francisco, advising companies on mergers, flotations and other financial transactions. Mr Kashkari joined the Treasury last year as an adviser. He quickly became involved in the unfurling credit crisis and was promoted to the position of Treasury assistant secretary for international affairs. http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/... ers/article4894011.ece

That's 25 percent of American idiots. How embarrassing to think that there are people out there who just CANNOT get it. They are hell bent on voting for these same failed Bush policies, and fantasizing that McCain is going to be different, despite following those same failed policies. Any village idiot should know that when one party has let you down, lied to you, started an unnecessary wars, and whose top priority has been to take care of the wealthy, you vote for different policies, and want the country to take a different track. It is common sense. I guess that kool aid must have messed up their brains.

Ayers, like McCain in Keating, was acquitted, right? Besides, McCain bombed more innocent people than Ayers anyway.
The GOP's smearing logic is crazier than their top of the ticket.

An estimated 26.2 percent of Americans ages 18 and older — about one in four adults — suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year.

Any questions?

Most people with diagnosable mental illnesses still have at least average intelligence, so the numbers should still be lower.

Well, you have to add in the idiots who don't have diagnosable illnesses.

Despite what the talking heads were saying about the debates being won by McCain/Palin it was the other way around with more people feeling Obama/Biden won the debates. Palin's negative rating going up too.

Wow! David Gregory just said that he saw McCain in New Mexico and could tell McCain was upset with Obama. LOL
When you have David Gregory pointing out that McCain is "eractic" you know things are bad!

I think McSame is jealous. An articulate, intelligent, good looking person is stealing away his dream.
The crashing economy is just another nail in his coffin. He may have that "Keating" remark on his headstone sooner than he thinks.

I think McCain is getting ready to really blow....as in explode....he seemed really angry today.
He said today he didn't need any advice from a Chicago politician.......especially one that came out of nowhere.....lol lol lol....where the heck did Palin come from??

I'm appalled that his approval ratings are still that high. Why aren't they in the single digits? What in the hell is wrong with people in this country? I guess you just can't educate fundamentally stupid, no matter what kind of facts are presented.
Make no mistake: Bush must go. He and his like should have been thrown out of office and in jail years ago.
Period.

Facts trump lies. Here's the truth: McCain was dirty during the Savings and Loan debacle that cost U.S. Taxpayers billions (not to mention the dirty hands of Neil Bush, GWB's brother). McCain doesn't get this integrity thing. Excellent video on Keating and the Savings and Loan scandal, and McCain's role:
It is amazing that Bush's trajectory has steadily been downhill in a pretty consistent line (except for the uptick from 9/11). Basically, the more everyone got to know him the more everyone realized he is a failure. My parents in Texas warned me that he was actually a terrible governor prior to 2000.
