McCain's campaign is hounded by two kinds of people.

1) People who wants McCain to be president because they believe that McCain is fit to do the job

2) People who wants McCain to be president because they believe that OBAMA is a risk to the nation.


The number 2 group is the one giving the campaign big problems!!!!!!

While I agree #2 may be giving them problems, I do not however give him a pass because of those problems or that group since he has been oh so willing to fan those flames. If he's getting burned by the fire he was trying to stoke and erroneously thought he could control then that's his problem. He deserves no pass because of it.

If you scream fire into a crowded building don't then act shocked if you are stampeded.

I received a few robos calls on behalf of several local politicians. The call blamed "the liberals" for everything under the sun when in fact the Republicans control my neighborhood. I voted against them.

I despise robo calls.

Robocalls are meant to appeal to the uneducated, the fearful, the racist, and/or the easily terrorized. They are very successful with those types of people. McCain and Palin are revolting human beings. The fact that they would resort to this level of fear-mongering, that they are so anti-American that they are willing to subvert and sully the democratic process in this way speaks volumes about their low character. The hateful love them because they are hateful. Makes perfect sense.

If you are influenced by one phone call, you must have a very weak mind indeed. I could never vote for someone who is willing to stoop this low to win an election, this show the kind of scumbag John Mc Cain really is. I am not even voting for Obama but if I was, this kind of dirty trick would make me vote for Obama for a lack of a better choice. Mc Cain is a person with no character, morals or values, he does not even know what he believes in, a total loser.

Robo calls of ANY kind should be illegal. Children often answer the telephone and can be traumatized by calls like the ones McCain's campaign is making. One North Carolina mother is FURIOUS because her 7 year old daughter answered the robocall and was terrified by what she heard.

McCain just continues to anger and turn off undecided voters with the hate mongering spewed by his campaign.

It's pretty sad that any campaign would think that making a stupid telemarketing call would add anything of significance to their campaign. And, forget about honor or integrity--that went into the basket weeks ago.

The number 2 group are adamant with McCain. They think that it is McCain's responsibility to tell the voters about the background of OBAMA so that the voters would make informed decisions.

They feel that McCain has not done enough to investigate and push for the investigation of OBAMA's background. If Obama wins, the number 2 group will blame McCAIN. It will be McCain's fault because he did not convince the public that Obama is a threat to the nation.
