McCain - nationalism at its worst.

Obama 08

McCain needs to release an ad campaign about all the GI Bills he has voted for.

Do your research, he has voted against almost every Veteran benefit bill he has come across. For him to pretend that he supports our troops and he's a military man, makes me sick.

As a veteran, McCain is my worse enemy. He committed treason, made 32 propoganda films and has voted down almost every Veterans Bill to date. Quit lying McNo, it's unbecoming of an anti american, which is all you are.

Obama '08

It's about time Obama starts to be exposed for what he really is.

Is this coming from the man that would not sign the GI Bill because it would have made it too easy for the troops not re-enlist.. He does not want to fund and support the troops he just want to fund war. That is why are troops don't have the proper equipment they need. They are being electrocuted in showers and they are being underpaid because they are giving all the money too these private contractors. That money can go to the troops and those are things that they can do. It has knocked down every bill that would help and support the throops.

contrast ad? how bout calling what it is.."attack ad"

more free rides for mcsame

The repubs are a joke this year.

No more of the failed policies ot the repubs.

Go Obama go.

Obama 08 & 12.

McSame is the same old tired policies of Bush and the GOP. Fear mongering. This is the way they want to win. They could care less about the soldiers and their families but how they can win the presidency. Look at how the veterans are treated after they return and this is a BIG INDICTMENT of the GOP and McSame. Shameful! McBush should be thrown out on his ear.

foreign policy…it is sad but it the desperation is showing in the McCain camp. what little respect he might have had has been long lost.

Once again, this bears repeating:

McCain: ‘I Received The Highest Award From Literally Every Veterans Organization In America"

The recognition McCain has received from veterans groups is not "high awards" but failing grades:

Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America gave McCain a grade of D for his record of voting against veterans. (By contrast, Obama got a B+.)

Well, McCain, by the look of things, you are not for us Veterans.

Disabled Veterans of America noted McCain’s dismal 20 percent voting record on veterans’ issues. (Obama had an 80 percent.)

In a list of "Key Votes," Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) notes McCain "Voted Against Us" 15 times and "Voted For Us" only 8. (Obama voted for VVA 12 times, and against only once.)

even if that is not the nicest way and the Media is not doing their job I am glad that at least John McCain shows the people who Obama is.
Lets face it, Obama is just an opportunist…. definitely no change

Rob

Everything listed in that ad about Barack is about McSenile.

1. McSame was against the G.I. Bill
2. He hasn't had any meetings in 2 years.
3. The Veterans of America gave Barack a B+ for veteran issues. They gave McSenile, a Vietnam "hero," a D.

Obama/Sebilius 2008/2012.

All McCain knows how to do is talk about war.

So sad……………….

God forbid we should repay their service with a college education.
Obama 08

And as is the custom in the modern presidential elections, Obama's campaign will respond, with a counter-contrast ad

I say we just put the two into a game of Halo, and see who wins. Whoever does is the President.

The dems have a whole lot of ammo to use on John W. McBush. They need to start firing some of it. I know it sounds good to take the high-ground, but people respond to negative ads, unfortunately.

You can't bring about change unless you get elected first. There's too much at stake to hold back.

Sadly - the McCain camp can't advertise their own positives so have to attack instead.

"if" they win, it's not the result of believers in their party, they'll just be the runner up that claims to prize due to fear mongering.

John Mccain more significantly was opposed to the new GI bill that Obama fully supported. Why (as usual) is cnn not reporting negative things about Mccain. The ad is also misleading as it suggests that Obama doesnt support the troops which he does. He rightfully is opposed to the war in Iraq and has been way ahead of Mccain in strategic importance of Afghanistan where Canadian troops are dying beside Americans.

he's against troop funding because why fund the troops when you can bring them home instead?

SEN OBAMA WAS AGAINST FUNDING AN UNJUSTIFIED WAR??? (GASP!!!!!!!!!!!) Wow that suprises me. You mean he didn't want to watse tax payer dollars looking for imaginary WMD's? (Gasp Gasp!!!!!!!) I love our soldiers but i see no need for them to fight occupy or die in Iraq. Saddam is dead we aren't taking the oild there are no WMD's and we are not going to war with IRAN. So there is no need to invest in Iraq they have plenty of oil revenue they can invest themselves. But that would be the right thing to do. 10 Billion a month and countless lives lost and we aren't staking a claim on that oil. Eff that. Dubya your priorites are all jacked up you should have went for and siezed that oil for us the USA. They can keep the money we just want the oil. Isn't that what we are fighting for anyway?

John McCain, the Republican Party, and conservatives are a disgrace to American.

LMAO this is too funny….It turns out that presumptive Republican nominee Sen. John McCain, has attended even fewer Afghanistan-related Senate hearings over the past two years than Obama’s one. Which is a nice way of saying, McCain, R-Ariz., the top Republican on the Senate Armed Service Committee, has attended zero of his committee’s six hearings on Afghanistan over the last two years.

Don't think this ad is going to go too far! How has he always supported the troops, he was against the GI bill! His ratings with most military groups is lower than Obama's How can anybody believe the blantant lies they come out with everyday. This funnier to watch than SNL! Thanks McCain campaign for keeping me smiling, this is just too easy

John McCain, the Republican Party, and conservatives are a disgrace to America.

Why is CNN calling it a "contrast ad" when it is nothing more than a negative ad. McCain has gone negative as he continues to slide in national polling. Why doesn't CNN just call it what it is? Why does CNN still have a crush on John McCain?

Won't blasting Obama that "He hasn't been to Iraq in years" kind of fall flat, given that Obama's bags are literally packed to go there in a couple days? Won't they have to pull the ad as soon as he leaves?

And I thought everyone was on Obama's case because he HAS been voting (except the most recent bill) FOR troop funding!

Joe Biden just said yesterday that the full Senate committee has fully dealt with all the issues re Afghanistan at that level, so there hasn't been any point to have the subcommittee meet. So, is John McCain arguing that there should be wasteful, redundant governmental meetings? Not too Repub-ish of him, eh???

McCain and the Republicans seem to want to have the facts all ways.

McCain is the one who has repeatedly stabbed the troops in the back!

If they want to start using negative adds, I say "Bring it on!".

TRUTH IS ALWAYS PAINFUL. IT'S THE TRUTH. SO WHAT???

They used to be called negative ad. CNN are you re-writing the term just for McSameBush???

The McCain ad says he voted against troop funding in May of 2007, then Obama defends himself by saying "I stopped voting for troop funding in May"? Not a very good way to defend oneself from a pretty strong ad….

So much for respectful dialogue. can't talk about anything positive. He did vote for troop funding until republicans stuck in a bill to cut funding domestically. What a PIG.

Guaranteed- Obama will be out with an add showing his superior 'grades' to McCain's from multiple veterans groups. Lickety split (like tomorrow).

Good, No troop funding, END THE WAR and SAVE AMERICA!!!

And John McCain voted against the Veterans' Bill of Rights that gives our troups a chance of a good college education. He said it would entice them into leaving the service. Nice guy!

Obama was against a dumb war….not the troops! I don't expect McCain to understand the difference though. Pathetic!

The truth hurts…

No Bama No Way

Oh go away already McBush.

No one wants you.

more misrepresentations from the McCain campaign and RNC - I hope America doesn't fall for it like they did under Bush/Cheney/Rove.

we dont want to pay for your bogus war,anymore.people are mad at congress for not stopping funding for yours and bush's war for oil.obama's vote in may was why we voted dems to congress in 2006.mccain has wasted 150 billion $ in iraq ,funding his oil and contracting buddies,in the last year alone.

Obama doesn't care about the American people all he cares about is his ego, his wife and his kids. He threw all of his friends under the bus, Hillary and Bill, African Americans, health care, iraq, all for some votes and power.

I'll bet they didn't include the fact that McCain attended ZERO hearings on Afghanistan that his committee held….ZERO….

Voting against money to continue the war is why the American people elected a Democratic majority to Congress…..unfortunately, only a slim majority. Therefore the veto can never be overridden unless some Republicans come to their senses….Obama did what he was there to do….

McCain says that he has always funded our troops….maybe to die but not to live….that's why he's against the new GI Bill.

such ignorance…Obama is against Iraq funding, not the funding of our troops. And obviously, Obama would be against more funding since he wants to bring our troops home…duh

I can't BELIEVE they think they can get away with attacking Obama on support for the military. This ad was put out by McCain, the man who said that the last bill for veterans' aid was too generous and he wouldn't vote for it. UNBELIEVABLE!!!

the comments section were full on the article about McCain saying we will be getting more serious attacks in Iraq before the election (after saying we had succeeded in Iraq) so I am putting my comments here. These Rove/Cheney/Bush scare tactics are disgusting and McCain should be ashamed of himself. He really already has shown his lack of character.

and McWar has voted against veterans over and over again

Obama is going to fall BIG TIME.

who votes more againsnt vets and troops tham Mccain? Incredible!!!

John McCain has not attended not one of 6 meetings held over Afghanistan during the last two years. what a Hypocrite!!!

With John McCain you get lies, hyprocrisy and more of the same..just like Bush….

Here we go again…… you thought you'd seen negative campaigning??? you ain't seen NOTHING yet…

this will be the ugliest election cycle in the history of the us….

CNN) – John McCain’s campaign continued to hammer Barack Obama on foreign policy ahead of the presumptive Democratic nominee’s upcoming overseas trip, releasing its first contrast television ad of the general election campaign Friday – a spot that that paints the Illinois senator as a flip-flopping opportunist who opposed fully funding U.S. troops……….McWAR you are a LIE and An IDIOT!!!
****************************************************************************
UPDATE: The Obama campaign responds that the senator voted in favor of every defense spending bill until the supplemental last May.

Go McCain! With you all the way to the White House!

McCain voted against GI bill. Obama is the one who said from the beginning that we need more troops in Afghanistan. Then McCain followed him after 9 troops died there other day. Until then McCain focused on Iraq. Republicans are full of BS and lie. Their accusation on Obama in this Ad is just BS.

"VOTED AGAINST TROOP FUNDING" - McCain, lets talk about your resistance to the 21st Centruy GI Bill, which Obama fully supported. Lets talk about your horrific ratings by a number of veterans groups, the same groups you falsely claimed gave you excellent ratings and which in fact have given Barack higher ratings. Lets talk about your previous statement to agree to pull troops out of Iraq when asked to do so by the elected government and your sudden backtracking on that very point when they ask for our withdrawal.

McCain, let us hear what you are "For" instead of consistently and falsely attacking Barack with half-truths and misleading ads!

If not voting for funds for this immoral war is bad then thats great! How about McCain NOT supporting the GI's when they come home all mangled mentally an physically by cutting VA $$$$$$. These people are unbelievable and disgusting claiming the high ground.

John McCain is such a liar and a panderer. He doesn't have any convictions because they change at every given moment. I'm so sick of his lies! If he supported the troops so much then why was he against Webb's GI bill? He then had the nerve to lie and even have the President lie for him to say that he always supported it! We all know he was against the bill because he was on record many times explaining is lame reasoning for being against it. I'm sick of these lying Republicans all they care about are their own wallets.

So much for McCain's empty promise to avoid negative ads…

Ok CNN…it is called attack ad..not contrast ad…be consistent.

The democrats should have run away with the election this year.
With the rating Bush has this should have been on a silver platter for the Dems.

But no… they pick this far left wackjob with no experience that falls on his face the second a teleprompter isn't in front of him.

When the Republicans win this I'm gonna be rolling on the floor laughing… I simply cannot believe the democratic party could blow it this year!

McCain's surge is working?

It delivered Iraq into the hands of the Iranians…

so I guess like with the Taliban in the 80's and with Iraq in the 90's… the Republican version of "working" means strengthening our enemies to the point where we can legitimize bombing them.

Thanks Republicans. Thanks so much… from Iran.

And thanks for giving Democrats another decade of your crud to clean up.

If I was a Senator against the war in Iraq, why would you support a bill to continue paying for that war so that they could stay there. For those of you who do not know this let me remind you that may propose where and how much money is to be spent but the Congress is the one that controls the purse.

Big budget deficit = Congress
Surplus = Congress
Out of control spending = Congress
Money to fight in Iraq = Congress

If people really wanted to stop the war in Iraq, just stop the funding and then you have no money to fight a war. But that would be political suicide because you end up with an ad that say "Against Troop Funding."

I though McBush wasn't going to be doing negative ads in his campaign?….ooops, Flip-Flopped again!

He claimes he "knows how to win wars"! Excuse me, but what wars has McSame won that I don't know about? He fought and was captured (oops!) in Vietnam and lost that war! I know he was a commander of something once… during peace time! His age doesn't make him wiser either, just look at Cheney!

Funding the illegal war in Iraq (instead of Afganistan) is costing somewhat of 15 billion dollars a month! U.S.A. is going bankrupt fast people! Gimme a break!

McCain is such a piece of crap. First off… McCain's never been to a single hearing on Afghanistan either… and he's on the same committee. Second, it was McCain that was voting against benefits for the troops. Obama is not against troop funding… Obama is against troop funding to a continue a war in which success has already been announced several times.

Before I felt sorry for McCain… now I'm really just starting to hate him.

And wasn't it McCain… Mr. Straight talk express that said he doesn't want to take this campaign into negativity? He hasn't done a single thing positive yet… all he's done is attack Obama, twisting every word out of context. McCain is as negative of a campaigner as there is.

Thar old fool did not vote for the GI bill

John McCain was in elementary school during WW II , and barely graduated from the Naval Academy, has pronounced short term memory problems and anger management issues.

If he does not understand technolgy, what are his qualifications to lead the nation in the 21st Century?

What's negative about it JR? Sounds truthful to me.

It has been reported by Reuters that while in Detroit today, McCain told supporters at a campaign fund-raising luncheon:

"I believe that either today or tomorrow — and I'm not privy to his schedule — Sen. Obama will be landing in Iraq with some other senators"

If Obama does in fact go to Iraq today or tomorrow, this announcement by Senator McCain may very well compromise Senator Obama's security.

This is the height of irresponsibility! How can Senator McCain publicly release sensitive security details about a trip to Iraq. We NEVER know the details of overseas trips for White House or State Department officials and such planning is supposed to be done in secret. The dates and times of a Presidential Candidate arriving in Hostile nations are extraordinarily senstive information.

CNN and All News Outlets, You have a responsibility to report this kind of irresponsible and wreckless action by Senator McCain which puts in jeopardy the security of Senator Obama as he makes a high level visit to the Middle East and Iraq.

Senator McCain, This is Shameful, It is unacceptable and you need to think about the ramifications of your words before you speak them sir.

I Know How To Win Wars McCain, What Wars, Still waiting For An Answer. Please Someone Tell US.

McCain is Nothing But A 10 Billion a Month Warmonger!

Obama is GOING to Iraq,,,enough…………McSame = FLIP FLOP, FLIP FLOP, FLIP FLOP Old man. No negative ads……flip flop memory lapses…McSame what happen to avoiding negative and untrue ads.

Same McBush….out of touch with the 98% American people..

What A Dumb Ad.

ARB and it's ilk…
Let's expose McCain - hasn't attended Committee Mtg in 2 years. Has voted No on bills supporting Vets. From every major Vets group he gets an F based on his Senate voting record.
Obama has vote more for Vets.

Please know the facts!

Obama voted to halt funding to bring the troops home, any other interpretation is disingenuous. It was McCain who opposed the recent GI Bill. Why is McCain against giving people who serve our country more money and more opportunities for college? Why does McCain think it is okay to risk these soldiers lives every day? It will be very interesting to see how active service members vote in this election.

This is very unfair to Mr. Obama to accuse him of not even showing up on Afghanistan's meetings. Appearing on the Oprah show has more priority than the Afghan issue. And as far as not funding our troops, he has made fighting with recycled weapons a priority because it is good for the environment. The McCain camp got this all wrong. Obama 200X!

Lisa…why can't you and all the other BITTER HRC people comment on facts concerning the topics instead of ranting against Obama in every post…aren't smart enough to follow whats going on in the world thats IMPORTANT??????

McCain portrays Obama as a flip-flopping opportunist.

But, there is no worst flip-flopping opportunist then McCain. He flipped his first wife and former beauty queen after she was no longer beautiful and became a financial drain due to her medical bills for a rich young Cindy, 17 years his jounior. After dumping his own family like dirt (two boys and a girl) so that he could pressure his ambitions and personal gratification, I have no confidence that he would do right my America.

McCain is characterized by his long time friends as a “self-centred womaniser who effectively abandoned his crippled wife to ‘play the field’. They accuse him of finally settling on Cindy, a former rodeo beauty queen, for financial reasons….”

For more information google: “McCain first wife table”

I wish the media would call McCain on all of the times he has outright lied. Even when his responses are on tape he says, 'I don't know where you got that from'? From your own lying lips McCain.

So much hate and not enough hours in the day to blog about it.

When you have no record of accomplishment, you either run a campaign on promises or you falsely create a record. Barak is an empy suit. No experience, No Loyalty, No credibility, NoBama in the Whitehouse.

America wake up before it is too late.

Ex-Republican for Obama

are those movies avalable if so where I love to see them and have the Dems put them on the air in adds

With McCain's voting record for veteran's issues, why would he make such an imbecile choice to run this ad? As if McCain has the upper hand on this issue. Makes you wonder where he's running this ad. Probably in areas where Fox News and Rush Limbaugh have high ratings and their audience don't bother to fact check. Miseducated and misinformed Americans are easily persuaded.

McCain is a disgrace to America.

McCain has BAD karma.

McCain lacks common sense.

McCain's brain cells operate at a minimal of 1 to 2 cells per day, out of maybe 10.

McCain has a stale character.

McCain has an extremely bad temper.

McCain criticises.

McCain tells bad jokes.

McCain has a cold heart when it comes to our troops.

McCain doesn't know how to fly a plane.

McCain doesn't know nothing about wars.

McCain doesn't know nothing about the economy.

McCain's friend is Bush.

McCain's is a senile old person, ect. . .

so sick and tired of warmonger McCain and his Repugworms….do us all a favor and just GO AWAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still have yet to learn from Senator McCain his vision for the United States and what his Presidency would mean. Thus far I know McCain can't remember if he even voted on insurance coverage for Viagra and not contraception, when informed he did vote and how he voted he laughed it off and shrugged off his vote and claimed he didn't remember (not a good admission for a geriatric candidate), he tells filthy jokes about raping women, he makes alarming jokes about bombing countries, he wants to drill for more oil and has no plan for renewable energy, no plans to help the economy except to preserve tax cuts for the wealthiest, his policy to combat escalating cost of fuel is to use less, his insight for the economy is "I don't know much about it" and by his own admission he falls short of an Officer of the United States Navy–an officer who cheats on his wife, lies and chases women is not a gentleman. So much for the Straight Talk Express.

Obama couldn't run a debate team, let alone the Presidency of the United States. I'm as qualified as he is to run for the White House.

McCain Foreign Policy 101
Stronger Iran=success
Stronger Alqueda=success
Weaker US dollar=economic success
Weaker Jobs market=free trading success

30 years of "success" in congress=President of the US

Thank you McSame,PUMA, and those guys in elephant tees.

Did he mention in his commerical that he (McCain) voted against the GI bill - wanting them to stay in for a longer period of time in order for them to get the better benefits. Did he also mention how many meetings he attended for the Committee that he is on himself - probably not.

McCain must know that he has NO chance of winning - that is why he takes EVERY weekend off and spends the time resting at his ranch.

CNN once again covering up for McFuddled. This is not a 'contrast' ad. It's an attack ad. And it wasn't a 'surge' idiots, it was an escalation, just like in Vietnam. People are fools….mainly because the media is just corporate lackeys. Journalism is DEAD.

Just as you don't need to eat a rotten egg to know it's bad, so you do not need to visit the battlefields of an illegal and immoral war to know it's bad. McCain is full of it.

I want our troops home. End of story. I want the encomoy to grow. It has been a very long time since the ecomony has been good for most everyone when a rebpublicans is in office. The richer get richer and the poorer get poorer. This is proven by John McCain's first comment to the media when asked, 'are we better off today than seven years ago?'.

It's the Rove/Cheney/Bush circus of delusion all over again. Reality will be on vacation until December.

America would be much better served if there was a media watchdog that had to vet any and all political ads to insure truth.

Isn't this the same sort of propoganda that we criticise other governments for?!?!?!

This exposes Obama, biggest flip flopper American politics has ever seen. He is no longer the different change agent, he once claim to be. Obama campaign is counting on the stupidity of American people to blindly follow, I am sure that is not going to work out.

“AGAINST TROOP FUNDING.”

Where's the part about John McCain voting against the GI Bill and most other recent bills to help vets?

Keep up the negative ads McCain. You can see what it did for Hil-lie-ary, and she's 20 million in debt to boot. Donate to her first, then try being orginal - and less hypocritical since you've voted consistently against all the veterans' bills - instead of using old tactics that didn't work the first time around. You're more of a joke than the bad jokes that you tell. Actually, you're pathetic and old.

I like that "COntrast AD" MSNBC FIrst Read calls it what it is: An Attack Ad.

Keep up the non-partisan reporting CNN.

I feel sorry for the left wing hate that I see in these comments. Thank goodness throughout history we have had men like John McCain who are willing to put their lives on the line so that fools can speak. I spent 22 yrs of my life for the same purpose, but it is sad to see such hate spewed.

Obama barely has a record on which to stand–he has spent his whole time in the Senate campaigning for president. When he has voted, he clearly has abandoned his base, as he races to the center. He's nothing but a paper candidate–an attempt by democrats to pull the wool over the American public's eyes. He's already being exposed and won't be able to hide much longer. Wake up and stop thinking the democrats or republicans have answers. They're only interested in power, money, and pleasing their corporate interests. Vote Nader/Gonzalez 08!

*********************************************

YOU DON'T HAVE TO TRAVEL TO IRAQ AND FIGURE IF THE WAR WAS A BAD DESICION OR NOT.

WE ALREADY KNOW IRAQ IS NOT THE RIGHT WAR WHY GO THERE AND FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON OVER THERE.

WINNING OR LOSING, ITS NOT THE RIGHT WAR WE SHOULD GET OUT PERIOD.

CONCENTRATE OUR EFFORTS IN AFGHANISTAN WHERE THE REAL TERRORIST ARE.

STOP THE MADNESS. VOTE OBAMA.

Obama cult you are so extremely disgusting with your disrespect for any one other than Obama. You are fools to fall for this flip-flopping inexperience gangster! I can't wait to see what you say in November when Obama loses by a landslide and I can't wait to say Congratulations President McCain!

mccain did not vote for the GI bill because the US can not pay the bill. we have no money. stop spending what we do not have.

Obama disgusts me!

He is only doing this because 99% of the troops have zero respect for the Democratic Party and their puppet Obama.

This was just a political ploy by the Democrats and now they are eating it up. As a member of the Arm Forces the Democrats and Obama make me sick to my stomach.

Apparently Mr McCain has no message of his own to run on so he figures why not start throwing the mud. The part that is priceless is AGAINST TROOP FUNDING as if by printing it in BOLD CAPS it somehow makes it true. I guess it's ok for McCain to oppose funding vet benefits, but if Obama opposes inserting fluff language into an appropriations bill (which is what happened) then obviously he's a socialist or something?

Good lord. I thought you were a straight talker mccain?

MCCAIN IS A CROOK AND SHOULD NEVER SPEAK A WORD ON THE ECONOMY. HE WAS ONE OF THE KEATING 5 THAT STOLE INVESTORS SAVINGS FROM LINCOLN SAVINGS AND LOAN AND CAUSED THE CALAPSE. SOME PEOPLE NEVER CHANGE, AND MCCAIN IS A GOOD EXAMPLE. HE'LL SAY AND DO ANYTHING AND FORGET ABOUT FAMILY VALUES, BECAUSE HE AIN'T GOT NONE.

MCCAIN/ROMNEY ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE.

MCCAIN 08!
HILLARY 12!

Obama showed up to vote and did not vote "present".

Now that is "Change we CAN believe in!"

Let's face it, this ad (and I suspect everything else from the RNC this year on McCain's behalf) will seem ludicrous if one is an Obama supporter. I won't deny it, I support Obama. It's too bad that the "flip-flop" argument will be a mainstay of this electoral campaign…and both sides will be cranking this sort of stuff out…it's just the reality of American politics.

This is all just pre-posturing activity before the nominating conventions. I hope the debates are not a disappointment.

I anxiously await Roland Martin's commentary steeped in anti-McCain rhetoric and praise for Bro'Bama.

KM, do you even know how the political system works ?? unless congress have a 2/3 vote they cant stop a Bush veto….

it's the illegal war, READ MY LIPS. mcbush violated every human rights issue ever since WWII. IT'S THE ILLEGAL WAR STUPID, 100 YEARS??? AND THEY DON'T EVEN WANT US TO STAY????? how dumb can one get??? it is like a 2 year old in a sand box making noise. CLUE: I WOULD NOT HAVE DEBATES — ANY — AND JUST LET THIS IDIOT HANG HIMSELF. WOW. 100 YEARS, DOES NOT UNDERSTAND ECONOMICS, but who in the mcbush era does–look at our mess.

The Author of All Evil - John McSame - strikes again. He wants our finest men and women to lay their bodies down for the next hundred years while his Republican buddies get richer and richer from the flowing of blood and oil.
But who has consistently voted AGAINST benefits for our vets ?
Who has said that an increase in the GI Bill is a bad idea because people might actually want to use it ?
Why, it's John McSame himself - the Author of Evil.

Anytime McCain criticizes Obama for something, it turns out that McCain is even worse. McCain doesn't stand a chance!

Who cares about his security? He's safe, he's among friends. He's a Chicago politicianand nothing more.
He's a do nothing empty suit. Yeah, Eli you're real deep.

John McCain campaign is doing all these ad blitz, however it is not going anywhere. It is not making any impact and they are wasteing money. I can't wait until next month when OBAMA do the convention speaches and afetr, that is when he will unload on MCcAIN AND HIS RETARDED BAND OF FOLLOWERS. McCain have the nerve to go after OBAMA when McCain have so much in the public sphere that will do him in. It is going to be such a sad spectable when the OBAMA campaign starts. It is obvious OBAMA has a plan and McCain do not, and I am just full of HOPE to see when it is all put together. McCain was a POW but NOT A HERO. Any body can get shot down, but not everyone can be a HERO!

MCCAIN, MCSAME, MCSHAME, MCBUSH, MCWAR IS NOT THE CHANGE WE WEEK. Hell will freeze over the day he become PRESIDENT, he won't!

Why would the terrorists harm Hussein? As President he gives them new hope for an Islamic world.

I would also like to add and ask the following questions:

How many senators and congresspersons have visited Iraq and Afganistan by name. Does anyone know that answer?
How many republicans and democrats by name have held public or attended congressional or senatorial committee hearing about Iraq or Afganistan? How many meeting did they attend?
What is the voting record for all congresspersons and senators as it applies to the Afganistan and Iraq wars as well as military benefits (GI BILL)?

CELEBERTY-SHIP IS WHAT OBAMA IS AFTER AND NOT LEADERSHIP,,,,HE HAS NO CLUE WHAT IT MEANS TO LEAD AND TO BE RESPONSIBLE.. LOOK AT HIS RECKLESS SPENDING IN THE PRIMARIES ONLY…MORE THAN $300 MILLION AND CLAIMS TO HAVE GOOD JUDGEMENT..AMERICA THINK AGAIN AND MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE IN NOVEMER, 2008 mccain is your man..

MCCAIN…..NO…11111111111111111111111111111111111111

This Guy. 'With just a Mike', is more dangerous; than anything the Middle East, can deliver to this part of the world…

McBush surrogate says "We won't kneel to the Muslims'. So which Muslims are we not kneeling to?The Sunni's who are our so so good buddies in Saudi Arabia. Or the Shiites who we put in power in Iraq and who have forged close ties to Iran? Never mind. McBush does not know one from the other anyhow. Idiots!

John Mccain: you said you know how to win wars. What about the Vietnam war I guess you won that being a POW for 5 years. Just like George Bush's :Mission Accomplished" you are his mirror image.

Oh!!! by the way I have heard you say tha Obama is naieve and inexperience to want to have talks with Iran's president yet what is Bush doing with high level envoy this weekend……talking. I belive that was Mr Obama's suggestion.And the Afgan war Mr Obama has been saying that they have dropped the ball on Afgan,that is really where the fight should be. He was proven right again. John McCain you said Afgan was not the problem.
I don't believe you can lead a horse to water,if you were on an island.

Wow! The GOP ad trashes Obama for never having held a meeting about Afghanistan, while McCain has not even attended one!

Which candidate actually supports the troops. The one who was for the Webb GI bill (Obama) or the one who tried to water it down (McCain).

As far as I remember John MCCain has said that he will run a positive and honorable campaign. All I see now is attacks and lies. His all campaign is about attacking Barack Obama, what about his own vision for the country. Oh right he doesn't have one…

there's clearly some sand left in your vagina, can you let it go already?!
Hillary was a liar and a phony and people don't like her, and they didn't want her to be president, so let it go!
it's time to unite behind the nominee and get him into the white house, the stakes are too high not to (that's what your hillary said)
so please, for the country's sake, quit distracting people with your cranky comments
thanks

As Biden said, his full committee dealt with Afghanistan primarily with hearings b/c he wanted a full committee presentation. And for John McCain to criticize Obama on this when he never attended a hearing re: Afghanistan, is the height of hypocrisy.

He also missed the votes on FISA, torture, his own immigration bill and equal pay for women. Good job Johnny!

James…we'd have plenty of money to take care of our Vets if we weren't SQUANDERING BILLIONS in Iraq! Get a clue.

JOHN mCcAIN
dID NOT VOTEFOR THE NEW GI BILL VOTE TO REDUCE VETRANS BENFITS IT NOT HE DID NOT VOTE FOR THE BILL HE DID NOT SHOW UP FOR THE VOTE BUT WS AT A FUND RAISER THAT DAY

Only person I remember voting against troop benefits was the great General fo the World, Napoleon McCain

SWIMMING AGAINST THE CURRENT!

Yeah Realistic and you will be the first in line to send your family or kids to war in Iran - to die for this government. Who honestly doesn't give a crap about you or your loved ones.

I was born in this country and knowing what I see now, I wouldn't brake a fingernail for none of the obvious idiots in this country.

Because of all the idiots that voted for Bush, men and woman are dying in a senseless war, and for what - for $4.00 + of gasoline.

McCain thinks because he is a veteran he can get away with voting no on every Veteran Bill that comes through. He needs to understand this is a different time and a different war. He is clearly out of touch.
Obama could do more if he simply gets in touch with reality.
Neither are worth the office of President.
Speaking of which, Al Gore needs to disappear since he decided not to run. He is worthless now.

gastoys.

I too am active duty and McCain and Bush have abandoned us. I see Obama as the only person that can bring honor back to the Seal of the United States.

i"M LAUGHING MY BUTT OFF….

Didn't the Reflipicans learn anything from Billary's campaign?

NEGATIVE ADS JUST MAKE YOU LOOK FOOLISH….FOOLS !!!

How is this a CONTRAST ad and not an ATTACK ad? When Hillary Clinton came out with ads against Barack Obama they were immediately called attack ads. Please CNN report the news as it is, this is an attack ad.

Man Reps, you better hope we get into a war in the next 4 months. I have NOT heard ONE single thing about the economy from you guys….

I know what you're doing, you ain't fooling me. Like I said, you better hope we get into a war sooner or later….

Obama had the good judgment to know where the military focus should have been in the first place. McBush is just catching up. Obama has been on the money all along. Mac was wrong then and is wrong now—but he is following Bush's lead and that explains every move Mac makes.

LISA……..Obama doesn't care about the American people all he cares about is his ego, his wife and his kids. He threw all of his friends under the bus, Hillary and Bill, African Americans, health care, iraq, all for some votes and power
Lisa………There is no help for you…….SURE he cares about his WIFE and KIDS……you care about your family………Hillary, BILL African American Health Care and Iraq are very important to him and is a part
his campaign …..have you had your medication TODAY ?

To James: Then let our troops come home!
To ARB: Get a life!
To Gastoys: It's a free country vote for who you want it be quiet! It's not relevant as to who makes you sick– who are you? Just another citizen no more important than me. So just go vote.

Ah Democrats, ignorance is such bliss…..

Hey Oprah Obamabots….truth hurts!!!

Alright, go get em, McCain. Its time this empty suit is exposed before its to late in November!

Liberals are not interested in the truth, only their socialist ideals. I would suggest they read the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire. If this were required reading, it would be the end of the Democratic party as we know it, and Immigration reform would be on the fast track.

The GOP will lose because they don't have anything. McCain voted against the troops because he said the bill would make it too easy for the troops not to re-enlist. It's and all volunteer military–hello?

McCain is definitely not the man for us.

Vote for Barack Obama in November.

Yes. Rock Obama opposed funding the Bush war to avenge Saddams plot against Bush's Daddy. He voted to not fund the un needed criminal deaths of more young American heroes. And mean while McBush votes against the GI Bill to help our Hero soldiers after they have served numerous tours in Bush's needless war.

Barack is going to rock the vote. I can't wait to see him with the troops. He will be a new leader for a young, sound military.

Obama the the right person at the right time.

Obama supports withdrawing our troops from Iraq. McSame supports leaving them in for 100 years. Now, may I ask who REALLY supports the troops?

It looks like the Obama campaign needs to release an ad with MCain's stunned look over the Viagra flap.

Mr. McCain would serve himself and his party better to really be "The Straight Talk Express". His stretching out the truth to make them look like false info, is just sad.

His complaining about Mr. Obama not going overseas, and now his complaining that he does, what is up with that.

Lots of his talking points are false and just plain sad.

OBAMA 08

What a waste of campaign funds when McCain didn't support GI bill or a stimulous check for veterans. McCain has so many flaws until he diverts attention from him, you would have thought he would know how to run a campaign the second time around. Loser.

Obama up by 1 point in the Gallup Poll!!!

Take notes Super Dels!!!

Hillary 08

McCain got CAUGHT in the Viet Nam war, which by the way the US did not win. Being a prisoner does not make you an expert on the issue.

I thought McCain vowed not to ever run attack ads. This only leads to more dirt being tossed on McCain by Dems.

There truly are some uninformed people who commented on this.
McCain had a different version of a G.I. Bill that he was proposing. One that would increase retention rates and make the military as a career more enticing.

Can any Obama supporter answer this. In the most advantageous election for Democrats since Jimmy Carter in the 70's, Why is their candidate within 5% points of a Republican candidate that is not considered especially strong and has not even solidified his own base yet? John Kerry had a bigger lead in 2004 than Obama has right now. And this at a time when the non-incumbent statistically increases his lead. Obama is not near the savior the young voters and internet bloggers make him out to be. He has a ton of flaws and people do not adore him nearly as much as some would on here would love to think.

"Against TROOPS Funding."

Same fearmongering tactics the Bush administration practiced after 9/11. Essentially what they meant to say: "Against TROOPS."

Pitiful McCain. Pitiful.

McCain says he is for the troops and veterans but his actions/votes tell the truth. He has for several years voted against their benefits. And if we don't have the money to spend on taking care of the troops and veterans, then we don't have the money to fight wars based on false pretenses. It is not right to send Americans off to wars and then they have to fight to survive when they come home. McCain knows nothing about this as he has Cindy's millions to live a plush life.

This ad may work to Obama's benefit for it shows his consistent opposition to the war in Irag in statements going back to 2004. It is an insult to the American people to think moderate change in statements mean anything. The point is- Obama knew/knows the war was evil and bogus. Obama has the decency to praise the surge because of the efforts of all those troops. I guess McCain has to do something since he really has no inspired ideas except for advocating more war. Please, I pray voters will get us out of this national nightmare.

Funny McCain has a 20% approval rating by many many vet organizations. Obama? 80%. Who supports the troops. He is simply too old and out of touch to lead the world.

To "gastoys," ditto!

There was a large reservoir of respect for John McCain in this country. Other than some of his words regarding the environment, that reservoir is disappearing.

Q: How dumb is it to issue to the message "he hasn't been to Iraq in years" just before Obama goes to Iraq??

A: It's smart, according to McCain's feeble mind.

And of couse it better for McCAin to go to Iraq and misrepresent (aka LIE) about how great everything is and for his closeted buddy to brag about how cheap the rugs are! Idiots!

ARB,

A negative ad is an ad that attacks the other candidate, rather than highlighting the merits of the candidate releasing it.

Vote McSame if you love corrupt, old-style politics. McSame is just four more years of Bush, and you know it.

To: Marcus E. Anderson all for Obama 08

Typical response from a "24 year old voter". LOL! The fact is he is inexperienced and BHO will be called to the mat like it or not. Cheers, signs and speeches laced with pretty words and slogans will not help him. This is a very serious "job" and his movement will not save him. If by luck he gets elected–he will be a disaster! As yourself why is he going overseas? One reason only–votes! Ridiculous!

Obama has all way said that the troops should be supported, even better than they are now. But can't we get on with some ads on other subjects. McClain only seem to know any thing about one subject. When I hear him talk on any other subject he doesn't seem to know the answers. Let start working on some of the many other issues that as American we need to take care of

I have to say this is the another example of McCain exploiting the situation . I used to be a McCain supporter in 2000 but this is plain awful. Furthermore, increasing debt, committing resources to nations like Iraq and diverting from our own needed R&D in our youth does not make sense. McCain is not trying to build a stronger America but overall weaker. When will people wake up? We have squandered our advantage long ago and it will get worse. No thanks with these attack ads.

I guess we know Mc Cain is anti Obama. At some some point we would like to know what Mc Cain stands for.

Really, ARB? So you worked as a community organizer, got a law degree, worked in state senante and them the US senate? Cool. What state do you represent?

And McCain voted against uparmoring troops and against paying the troops better, against the VA bill. If you don't have the money to pay for wounded soldiers you don't have the money for the war. Can't have it both ways. Support our troops, McCain! That means on and OFF the battlefield.

This is a man that did not favor the new GI Bill. This is a man who claims that he is going to run an above the fray campaign. He and his Republicians cronnies will lose in November 4, 2008.

oh an attack ad on Obama. Shame considering that Bush and McCain are copying Obama's foreign policy. McCain was aganist redeploying troops from Iraq to Afghan. Since Obama said we need to get out of Iraq which the Iraqis want and redploy the troops to Afghan. Wow, McCain says okay and Bush now agrees to a timetable for withdrawl from Iraq and redeploy them to Afghan. For a person who is inexperienced, Obama is surely right on the money. Obama has the judgement to lead.

McCain
For torture.

A five-second ad that says it all.

Obama isn't fit to be commander in chief and he flip flops on literally, every issue. Thats what we want in a leader?

Just wait for the Obama response ad…McSame has left himself wide open for a whole host of attack lines. The biggest one is that McCain has attended exactly NONE of the last six Afghanistan-related hearings over the last two years that his committee held. Is this ad an example of the "strateegery" the McSame camp is going to employ once the campaign really starts heating up? I hope so, it'll make things a whole lot easier for us on the Obama side.

What! Everyone knows that Barack is going to come galloping in on his Uny-corn, bringing us wind power and solar energy, and change, and no more war (except in Afghanistan and Pakistan where we're going to go in and kick some Butt!). And we'll take care of the poor and provide healthcare to everyone and tax the rich (that'll get 'em!) and the companies ("take that!") - especially the nasty oil companies. And we'll sing Bob Dylan songs, "Oh, the times they are a changin'…". And everything is going to be wonderful!

More Kood-aid with your latte?

I think that McCain is just mad because he does not have a flying Unicorn with a rainbow trail and animals don't follow him around. He is a sad little angry frustrated man that has to drink budweiser (headache beer) forever and ever.

Obama is a fraud and a zero. You folks just don't get it. Like all of those who thought Bush was so great . . . .

Wow. This is too funny. gastoys, educate yourself. You obviously have no clue what Obama stands for.

Half truths, misquotes and outright lies! Just shows that McCain is truly McSame! He has no policies of his own, no new ideas, can't even remember his old ideas. All he has is I was held captive 45 years ago! His and the RNC slander, lies and attacks won't work this time. They will find out that Americans are fed up with these kind of tactics. Say nothing about yourself (because you have nothing), try to attack the other guy. Not this time, not this time.
McSame and the RNC…can you spell L A N D S L I D E

I do not support Obama but anything is better than 4 more tears of the same.

As a fellow Veteran, I honored Senator McCain years of service for this Nation, however, supporting the Troops don't mean to send them to an unnecessary war where over 4000 deaths and an undetermined number of umputees, some are injured at a point that they are in a permanent vegetable states, laying down in some unfunded hospitals with improper cares.

The same McCain that voted against the GI Bill sponsored by Senator Webb of Virginia, the same McCain that has been absented from the Senate floor for a number of key important votes.

The same McCain that tried to redefine the definition of Success against the Webster Dictionary to suit the views of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld better yet his own view in order to fool the uneducated about the Iraq war. That's the reason the press has more coverage about Obama in order to camouflage McCain's gaffes.

Let's get real, the American people will pronounce the verdict in November. That guy McCain deserves a happy retirement in the dersert of Arizona, enjoying his multi million dollars after all these years of public deservice.

How much of a track record does really one expect for Ombama to have given that he is the junior Senator. On one hand I can understand people attack ing him for not having enough experience , but not for having enough experience in a two year period of time. My point of view is that in two year period time, Obama has come along way with defeating the Clinton machinery along with becoming more experienced as a politician. Given McCains 30 years in the Senate, the question would be what has he really done in 30 years. Congress has the lowest approval rating in the history of polls. You would have to say that McCain was and is part the problem why Congress is the way it is now today. Obama may not have experience,but he certainly is fresh.

I like the idea of the two of them playing Halo….but let's make it Halo 3 and who ever gets to General 3 Star is the winner!!! Its about as goofy as this election is!

Scott from Wichita:
Halo? Doesn't that involve using something that's almost like a computer? John McCain doesn't know how so that wouldn't be quite fair.

Why Dems need to wisen up and drop Obama at the Convention.

BS McCain wont even help Veteran's with benefits!

It's okay Obama lovers.

It's natural to be angry when Truth is revealed that hurts your candidates 'reputation'. Come to grips with reality.

Republicans: Fighting the Left for what's Right!

omg,, mccain has truely lost his mind,, he has no idea what hes talkin about here, its all about revenge and revenge,,, obama has neva said anything of a sort,, but we all know mccain has lost his mind,,, totally,,,i am surprized he can sleep at nights ,,

It's no surprise that NObama is a flipflop machine. I've said it time and again that this man is a TRUE politician who will do anything to become president.

The scariest thing is his inexperience, track record and the quality of people he hangs around with - his church, his pastor/mentor, etc

McShame '08
Hillary '12 and '16

The truth is the truth, but this isn't even close to the truth.

Frightening. With less than 4 months until the election, Obama suddenly decides to try to get foreign policy/national security experience and to try to show some semblance of being a commander. Worse still, Obama has 300 foreign policy advisers, according to media, and no two of these advisers can agree on anything. Thus, the Obama flip flopping. And, he expects to get the experience and the leadership qualities during this ONE week trip. Unbelievable.

OBAMA voted against Funding for BS projects. McCain do not know how to use the web/internet, he must think we Americans do not know how to go to the congressional sites to see and read for ourselves? Technology has created a new waves of Voters, and users who seek the truth for themselves. OBAMA has voted and taken more responsibility for the troops than has McCain, OBAMA never served, and HE OBAMA is in touch, he GETS IT! McCain served, he voted against the TROOPS all the time, HE VOTED TO SEND US TO WAR, but not to take care of us when we get home, OBAMA supported the NEW G.I. BILL, and many other VETERANS issues, McCain, growl, balk, and scream and VOTED NO!

JOHN MCCAIN CANNOT BE TRUSTED, WE THE TROOPS KNOW IN ORDER TO KEEP AMERICA STRONG, BARAK OBAMA GETS IT on ALL FRONTS!

what happened to the straight talking, maverick McCain who was supposed to be a "DIFFERENT" republican wanter to create a different way to govern

as of right now, the only difference between McCain and Bush is that Bush, as dumb as he is, actually can type on a computer

who do we want as our commander in chief

some old guy who, if he did get on of the 3am calls, would slowly find his way to the SIT room where he'd start wavin' his can telling the generals to just bomb Iran even though they are reporting on a problem in the czech republic, and he'll be like "who??? you mean Czechoslovakia??"

or

a guy who would get the 3am call, hop right out of bed or what ever and be in the SIT room engaging the joint chiefs on the situation, evaluating all options to take the best approach, whether diplomatic or military

Obama is a clear and present threat to the security of my country, America. This ad is not near tough enough.

o bama need to come down from his mountain and have a real debate…. let us compare the two at the same time….no teleprompting free discussions…. let us see where they really stand….. enough of the stage play it is time for action////
