McCain booed after trying to calm anti-Obama crowd

What I find the most amazing in all of this is why anyone would be outraged by how  rabid the right has become.  Rightwing radio, FOX News, and many, many rightwing publications has used the same tactics the nazis used to sway the people to support the fascist ideology in Europe.

Fear, smear, and riducle has been used by the GOP since the election of JFK in 1960.  It's simply has been amplified by the election of Nixon, Reagan, and the Bushes.  When a party has all but exhausted it's useful ideas it turns to fear and smear to attack it's opponets.  It worked for every GOP success since Goldwater. 

This time the people are aware of the dirty tricks of fear and smear.  We're all tired of dirty electioneering and want the candidates to run on the they they view the issues,  not attacking the candidates character, religion, race, or sex.   How they will run the country is all that is important.   

People Need to Focus on Issues not Fear

I supported John McCain in 2000, I know McCain at one time in 2000 was a man of his word and he had credibility then, but the same Rovain Bush/Chaney goup that is running his campaign now where the same group that smeared him then.

It is a big disappointment that he choose this path and I only saw a glimpse of the old McCain when he made an effort to correct and calm the fearful mob that thought Obama was some Arab Terrorists and not an decent American candidate whose policies he has some disagreements with.

Palin gave us all excitement when she came on the scene, but she turned out to be a vacuous politician who the NeoCons exploited (with her permission) and she failed miserably to promote McCain during the debate as she continues to fail him now, with her per diems, troopergate, Todd Palins involvement in AIP and Gov. work and meetings, those awful interviews and the vanity of fuming over a flawless photograph on Newsweek when America is suffering over their 401Ks. One can go on and on about the skeletons in ALL the candidates running and scream hypocracy until we are sore.

The truth is, one cannot deny that it is this team that voted for Bush/Cheney twice. And that McCain went against his independent streak when you see him endorsing GW Bush time after time and voting with his policies, time after time. Dispite how much we would like folks to base their vote on FACT CHECK.ORG there is an undercurrent of fear fed by the lowly Rovian advisors in the McCain camp. It is McCain that failed America when he chose Palin as VP and when he chose to hire these guys to run his campaign . Compound that with the policies and issues, is it no wonder many people want to go with a focused, reasonable and cohesive team like Obama and Biden.

It is too late Mc CAIN....

Once you start a forest fire... it is hard to put out!

"Pacific, I think you are quite right about McCain's ship losing its direction. He allowed himself to be "managed" after seeing how well Obama's managers were doing. The problem is that his managers' ideas don't mesh clearly with McCain's personality and ideals. As a result, he often looks uncomfortable in his own skin."

Nanc, just by this stament alone you are confirming Mc has lost control of his plan, campaign, his followers, all of the above? How can you see fit to elect this man POTUS? This goes right to his judgement and his leadership.

That being said, I understand people questioning Obama's judgemement, that is why we have campaigns. But for me trying to make him out a terrorist or a terrorist sympathizer because he sat at meetings with a man that was trying to better the education of young people is a far streatch. Ayers at the time of those meetings was an honored professor and had been chosen for those meetings by a very close freind of Pres. Reagan's. Was Obama supposed to walk away from those meetings and let down the 10n's of thousands of young people counting on him because of someone who was never taken to court for an incident that happened when Obama was 8 years old? Just listen to the foolishness of that lodgic. Are you suggesting that every meeting that every women or man goes to from now on, should do a 40 year history check on everyone at that meeting before deciding if you will attend said meeting. Will ever another meeting take place again in our future under those conditions? McCain and Palin are retarded to think that most Americans are as stupid and gullable as the many at their very select and highly screened rallies. McCain lost all my respect after he hugged buSh following the 2000 fraudulant selection. Our country needs a change not a complete reversal to the sixties. Please rethink your choices.
