i didn't vote in your poll because i don't agree with the supporters but i am not embarrassed because it has nothing to do with me.

you don't think all that goes both ways? please 75% of blacks will vote for him simply because he is black. i know, ive seen it. i grew up in detroit. vote for the black guy that is corrupt and lives his life like a rockstar having $300,000 partys every weekend at the governers mansion. dont vote the guy or white guy that actually wants to make the city better.

McCain made the decision to go down this path and I believe in my heart that he is regretting it now because all it did was incite fear and hatred. When he saw this was happening he started to back down, but I think it's too late.

I predict that after he loses, McCain is going to come out and apologize for this.

This is just a media/left effort to try to get the McCain campaign to back off it's criticism of obama and his connections, which are fair game.
I don't care for radicals from either side. sanrene...honestly...if you really do want McCain to have a chance you should stop being part of the problem. I saw something very similar play out when I lived in Vermont. Radical religious right people descended onto Vermont and spewed this same kind of hate around and it disgusted the people there so badly that Civil Unions support went from 30% to 70% in a very short period of time. The same thing is happening to McCain and those radicals are DESTROYING the man's long time reputation of being a decent, good guy. You're not doing him any favors...not at all.

We have created a terror filled killing zone in Iraq that has affected the lives of over 25 million people through violence and war and mayhem and murder.
Keep up with the good news from Iraq, will you?

What does this have to do with the fear and hatred being incited at these rallies? Calling Obama a terrorist has nothing to do with this.

I don't recall seeing during the primaries all the obama thugs intimidating and bullying Hill supporters.

You bots act like OBama and his supporters are pure and innocent. They are part of the dirtiest, thugish campaign I have ever seen.

Why can't Americans appreciate that they have a say in who gets elected....even if their candidate loses, it is still a great country simply b/c we do have a say.

I'm a McCain supporter...but will support Obama and pray for him if he is elected. We need a great President right now...so I hope, if elected, he is that person.

I only wish more on the right felt the same way.

They AREN'T his beliefs. If you want to attack his real beliefs - go ahead, feel free. But these are attacks on things that he does not believe- it's fiction, made up, hallucinations, paranoia, idiocy, squirrelyness, ...
