Thank you Senator McCain

Tonight at a town hall, Senator McCain said American's have nothing to fear from an Obama Presidency & that "he is a decent, family man, we just happen to disagree on policies". I have always had a lot of respect for McCain, would have voted for him in 2000 if it wasn't for Karl Rove. But the tenor and tone of the last few days has been a disgrace to McCain and the American people. I'm glad he took a stand, probably too late, but admire him for doing it. By the way if you haven't seen video of it the crowd turned around and lustfully booed him. Is this Rome circa 100 A.D. now?btaylor2404

They booed him?

See, this is what getting people to blindly hate the opposition through propoganda does.

Well, I've got to see this...

Should be an interesting final debate.

Could be. Who knows what the hell the world is coming to. Theres so many problems. But i still think that the people saying "OH GOD A DEPRESSION IS COMING" are crazy. It just sounds too drastic. I mean maybe if Obama becomes president we'll be in a depression, but like i said who knows.

Seems like theres so much insane **** being talked about.

-Bailout

-Presidency

-Recession/Depression freaks

-Drainage of Social Security

-DOW Jones "UNDER 9000!"

-Baby Boomers

-Capitalism isnt working, what do we do?!

-Housing market

-Gas/Alternative Energy

And tons of other ****.

Strange as hell to grow up in this mad world.

This is the video for anyone interested. I really admire McCain for doing this.Genetic_Code

That's just the debate...

Thank you McCain for helping a Democrat win the Presidency. Thanks Palin for abusing your power and helping a Democrat win the vice Presidency.

The first video in the left column is the town hall meeting though.

Thank you John McCain... 1. For fixing a problem of your own making due to your campaign strategy of trying to paint Obama as a dangerous radical extremist and terrorist sympathizer (or out and out sleeper cell terrorist). 2. For at least acting in your own self-interest for realizing that these revolting tactics, not much different than your tactics of the summer months comparing Obama to air-headed celebrities, running ads accusing him of being the anti-christ and supporting comprehensive sex education to kindergartners, were backfiring. I applaud you for doing the right thing, even if it is about four months too late and motivated by your own self-interest. 3. For tacitly acknowledging that you're going to lose and if you want to have any influence or authority as a national political figure after you lose you need to back off NOW. 4. For closing Pandora's Box...AFTER opening it and unleashing the inner-id of the most unhinged elements of the right-wingers of our society. Now Senator McCain, if that is what you truly believe, then it is about time you stop the revolting Ayers pushing campaign, stop your surrogates from calling Obama a cocaine using "man of the streets" on national television, and otherwise put your campaign back into the mainstream of U.S. society. In the last week the Dow dropped more, as a percentage, than the first week of the Great Depression. Maybe you can talk about the greatest financial crisis of the last seventy years once in a while? Actions speak louder than words. If you truly believe that Obama is a decent family man who you happen to have some disagreements with, then make your campaign act like it.nocoolnamejim

Agreed, and written much better than mine, hopefully though, other than Palin, he will stop this now and act like a Senator. Only a few weeks now and we'll finally have a change.

You're right. Sorry about that, but the actual video as at the top left.

"Terrorist"

"kill him!"

"Off with his head!"

"he's...he's....and arab."

that's the culture the GOP has been cultivating. This is what McCain should have ALWAYS done. You get NO extra credit for doing what you're expected to do.

Lady: "Obama is and ARAB!" McCain: "no mam, sit down"

maybe the lynch mob will turn on Him now.

Ohh... my fellow Americans... smh

I'm glad he's finally taking the high rode. Though to be honest he's probably just doing this because bashing Obama clearly hasn't been working. Obama seems to have always been more respectful to McCain than McCain to him, although it wasn't much better...

Even so, I wish all politics could be played out like that.

I'm glad he did it, but it's too little too late.

I'm sorry that the McCain of 2000 is long gone...

My God, McCain is erratic.

That is good. Respect.

John only did the right thing. That's not worthy of respect. That's a bottom-line expectation. Damn shame it took him this long to wake the hell up on the subject.

I'm glad he did it, but it's too little too late.

I think people need to realize that people on the opposite side of the political spectrum are our opponents, not our enemies. There is a huge difference.

Hmm a quote from the AP : "Shouts of "traitor," "terrorist," "treason," "liar," and even "off with his head" have rung from the crowd ".

I think those were overboard especially the "off with his head", that being said I think the Bush-haters deserve some blame for what's happening to Obama, let's face it after 8 years of leftist attacks like this against Bush and Cheney some of the Republican's are probably looking to avenge them on poor ol' Barry. Two wrongs don't make a right, but then again neither does one wrong.

Anyway this stupid election has been so divisive and so out of control I kinda can't wait until it's over..... but based on the candidates we have, I kinda can because either way we're gonna get stuck with a quite crappy president it seems.

Watch some of the videos of McCain from the 2000 Republican Primary. Back then he was a man who respectfully spoke what he believed, what he thought. Not what his party believed, not what his party thought.

Karl Rove and George Bush murdered the good man of John McCain in 2000 with their "What would you think if McCain illegitimately fathered a black child?" campaign.

At the same time, Karl Rove and George Bush murdered the republican I used to call myself.

No your not being overly cynical, it's been Palins MO since day one. But I always respected McCain, and wouldn't have thought the world would come to an end if he won, until he choose Palin which was a complete brain fart. Obama said he'd stay on the high ground, and personally he has, which is why I'm proud to be volunteering for him, voting for him, and proud that he will be our next President.

people are showing up at palin and mcain rallys and saying obama should be killed... seriously. that is friggin' ridiculous. mccain is just being smart and telling the crowd to chill the f out like any intelligent human being would do.

This is the video for anyone interested. I really admire McCain for doing this.Genetic_Code

That's exactly what he wants you to say...

He took a look at the polls today and switched masks.

everyone talks about riots being in the streets if Obama loses....if Obama wins I seriously worry for his life...the white extremists are some of the craziest people you'll ever meet in your life.

I personally wish we could have a balanced government, one which no affiliation has control of two branches of government. It didn't work before, and only bad things can come of it now. But oh well, there's still a month to go so much can happen. If anything McCain really needs to start deciding better where he campaigns. He should know that he needs to stay away where people like this will show up. It makes it look like that credible people who actually know about his politics look like racist imbeciles.

The people that he spoke to in that video are going to vote for him anyway, so why bother talking to them?

Regardless of whether or not the US enters a terrible depression, I think it's realistic that the US may merge its monetary system with other nations in the near future...which will make drastic changes in the way this country operates.
