Cindy Mccain says Sen. Barack Obama has "waged the dirtiest campaign in American history,"

Before interviews with the press, McCain spent about 20 minutes visiting with children staying at the hospital who gathered to work on voting bags to pass out to other patients.

Um....Uh....*blank stare* I have read the quoted sentence above at least 20 times and wonder what it means. Cindy McCain visited  Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. Ok I get that part of it. Cindy McCain spent about 20 minutes visiting with children staying at that hospital *I'm going out on a limb here...I assume the children are PATIENTS?!? who gathered to work on voting bags to pass out to other patients. Those other patients I also assume are CHILDREN. Um.....Uh.... ok.... this doesn't make sense.  I have one conclusion, either she is exploiting children to pack voting bags for their meds, or she herself raided the med cart on her way in.

I have a blank stare as well.  I am just simply amazed at her charity. *dripping sarcasm*  Campaigning at a friggen children's hospital where children's lives are in the balance and possibly pandering for votes from their parents?  I think I'm going to be sick. I wonder if she explained her husbands health plan to these poor kids parents. YIKES.  And she says Obama is dirty?

Charlotte -- Wow.  Just wow. 

Totally.  Or she needs to get laid so bad it's affecting her mental state.

Ironically, someone would be need to be on drugs to lay her..! :D

Lets take a vote.

1) Cindy McCain is telling the truth.

2) Cindy McCain is telling a lie and she says it anyway.

If you believe #1 ...I'm sorry.

If you believe #2 ...vote this comment up. I have a feeling the answer is going to be very apparent.

There's a third possibility.

3) She believes it's true, even though it isn't.

JoJo--that is just like Sarah Palin being just stupid enough to really believe she is qualified to be president.

Roger, I don't know that I would call her stupid, more accurate I think would be - ignorant of her limitations.

On second thought, stupid is just fine.

OKCDEM, let's add a third.

#3- The Mccains are BOTH senile.

Thank you R.Donald--big hug from the 'burgh

Don, that's what Cindy was trying to say, but she was confused by the drugs.

Sorry to disagree with you, Doug, but the only reason McCain wasn't prosecuted further was because he actually appeared before the ethics committee and apologized. He was NOT cleared 100%. If he had been, why would he have appeared before the committee? why would he have had anything to apologize for? and why would the committee have chastised him and said he exercised poor judgement?

WSJ/NBC News Poll: McCain Running a Negative Campaign

charlotteelise shared the following:

Obama's zipcode being e-mailed all over the country and world look it up 60606 that's 666 the sign of the beast get ready all you fools who vote Osama

I just can't even image how you get to some of these places your comments come from, the contortions you must have to go through must truly be back braking. I suppose everyone living there is a demon servant of his?

Let's see...
BARACK H OBAMA Born Aug 1961
(exact street address removed by me) EAST VIEW PARK
CHICAGO, IL 60615
OR
PO Box 8102
Chicago, IL 60680-8102
For the record, 60606 DOES happen to be a Chicago zip code, however, Chicago has more than one zip code.  Obama doesn't live there.
Please, folks, if you're going to toss around lies, try to make them lies that can't be disproven with a five second Google search.  It just makes you AND your candidate look desperate.

and the prosecutor said he should have never even been brought into that deal. 

Source please Doug

You are wrong Doug. It is an issue only because Sen.McCain and his supporters are making it so. He was DIRECTLY involved in the Keating Five, Sen. Obama met Ayers YEARS after the fact. And lets not get into racism, Sen. McCain has been in politics long enough to have become associates of racists in Washington - that in and of itself does not make one a racist!

And, even IF Ayers and Obama had any dealings besides what has been clearly stated, apparently consorting with known terrorists and terrorist supporters is not a deterent to being president.

George Bush and Prince Saud al Faisal.

George Bush holding hands with Prince Saud al Faisal

George Bush kissing Prince Saud al Faisal

oh look Prince Saud wearing a keffiyeh and we know, because of the Rachel Ray debaucle, that that is only worn by terrorists.

In regards to the concerns of charlotteelise...

Let's all do our part and make sure that Barack Obama's new zip code is 20500... effective January 20, 2009.

I'm already leaning that way so I'll be glad to do my part there SnotRag Dave!

I'm doing my best, SnotRagDave. I've already managed to convert my 84-year-old mom. Well... actually... Sarah Palin did that for me.

Lasair:

As a US taxpayer and voter, I am FAR more concerned about Sen. Mccain's record of voting for the failed & bogus Bush policies 90% of the time. Voting for a war that was based on out and out lies, a war that cost in lives, a war that cost $700 Billion and counting. So, we can factually say that  to date, John Mccain has cost this country $700 Billion for Iraq, plus $700 Billion for the bail out. Thats 1 TRILLION, 4 hundred billion, that Mccain has cost us.  It's important to remember also that by voting for the war, Mccain failed our troops. They gave their lives for a lie. I am proud to support Obama who, voted NO to Iraq.

If you do a Google search, you will see my comments are supported by facts.

Hey Doug-375144 "As for the old Keating thing McCain was cleared 100% and the prosecutor said he should have never even been brought into that deal.  At least John's friends aren't felons , racists, or proud terrorist bombers."

So you REALLLLLY believe that huh! Well i got some facts for ya.

U.S. Council for World Freedom:

During the 1980s, Sen. John McCain served on the board of a far-right conservative organization that had supplied arms and funds to paramilitary organizations in Latin America."John McCain sat on the board of...the U.S. Council for World Freedom,""The Anti-Defamation League, in 1981 when McCain was on the board, said this about this organization. It was affiliated with the World Anti-Communist League - the parent organization - which ADL said 'has increasingly become a gathering place, a forum, a point of contact for extremists, racists and anti-Semites.'" But let's move on shall we!

The Keating 5:

McCain was one of the "Keating Five," congressmen investigated on ethics charges for strenuously helping convicted racketeer Charles Keating after he gave them large campaign contributions and vacation trips.

Charles Keating was convicted of racketeering and fraud in both state and federal court after his Lincoln Savings & Loan collapsed, costing the taxpayers $3.4 billion. His convictions were overturned on technicalities; for example, the federal conviction was overturned because jurors had heard about his state conviction, and his state charges because Judge Lance Ito (yes, that judge) screwed up jury instructions. Neither court cleared him, and he faces new trials in both courts.) Though he was not convicted of anything, McCain intervened on behalf of Charles Keating after Keating gave McCain at least $112,000 in contributions. In the mid-1980s, McCain made at least 9 trips on Keating's airplanes, and 3 of those were to Keating's luxurious retreat in the Bahamas. McCain's wife and father-in-law also were the largest investors (at $350,000) in a Keating shopping center; the Phoenix New Times called it a "sweetheart deal." But let's move okay!

Mafia Connections:

In 1995, McCain sent birthday regards, and regrets for not attending, to Joseph "Joe Bananas" Bonano, the head of the New York Bonano crime family, who had retired to Arizona. Another politician to send regrets was Governor Fife Symington, who has since been kicked out of office and convicted of 7 felonies relating to fraud and extortion. So much for the "Johns friends not being felons" huh!

So you could do yourself some good with just a little fact checking before you post. Thanks!  :-)

What kind of a choice is this?
Two Corporate Lawyers and a cup.
or
McSame Pail in feces.

Stop Missing the Point.
This is about:  Corporate Board Member ownage of Corporate America!!!
Politicians owned by lobbists = Lawmakers, Justice Department, US Military, etc..
You, unless you are unemployed. 

These are the people funding the Obama Biden Campaign!!!!
You DO NOT make these people angry:
Delaware: Freddie Mac, Fanny Mae, Bank of America, Wilmington Trust, First USA / Bank One / JPMorgan Chase, AIG, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, Barclays plc, GM, Chrysler, ISDA, and those Corporations Incorporated at Delaware. 

Especially, ISDA. The People that brought you:  the 60 to 100 Trillion USD (it is not 700 Billion USD US Economic Crisis) Global Economic Crisis.  These people will be back for more just like GM, Ford, Chysler, September 2008, 25 Billion, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, to milk the cash cow.  updated add: AIG, 85 Billion USD.  The 60 to 100 Trillion USD does not include the usary interest protected by the Delaware Court of Chancery.

Options are getting limited now as to what can be done to save the US Economy:  Prosecution under the Patriot Act for those involved as Treasonous Domestic Terrorists.  This is the only way to circumvent the Delaware Court of Chancery.  Unfortunely, this would directly involve Corporate Lawyer Vice President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.of Delaware. Indirectly involve (campaign contributions) Corporate Lawyer President Barak Obama (Oil Corporations, Coal Corporations, Corn Co-ops).  

Also per US Dept Energy there is no such thing as "clean coal" technology (maybe next few decades) and endorsed biogasse technology as clean burning compared to any coal technology. The coal idea is from the Illinois Coal Corporation Lobbists and contributions.   Corn is 7x, less effective than Brazilian Sugarcane to ethanol techology, US Dept Energy, US Dept Ag "food vs fuel", Global famines (Africa).

Illinois is not where he was born.  Ask his Grandmother at Hawai'i.  By the way as mentioned before he is not African American, unless you count all the crackers that jumped the fence.  His geneology is from the Arab Slave Traders that settled in Africa.  The same ones that wiped out the advanced civilizations of Africa (the enormous ruins in the Jungles), his father through oral tradition (Kenya).  Barak (Barry) Hussein Obama is 43% Arab (that is why the names Barak, Hussein, Obama, arabic not African, I have lived at both for years), 7% African (making lots of caucasians more black), 50% Caucasian.  Does that make me more Black than him?  It is just like a Lawyer to change the facts to match the situation.  Black today, Caucasian now, Arab tomorrow.

I don't give a flying rats ass what "nationality" he was born under.

My ancestry is British should I be judged by the taxes the British imposed on the colonies? That's just asinine.

If your ancestry is German should you be held responsible for genocide your race participated in?

What if you are Italian, your ancestors may have been from Rome, should you be responsible for the wars and tyranny the Romans participated in as far as they could reach?

For gods sakes you guys, you are no better than the fear and hate mongers of generations past and present. The radicals that you say you hate so much because they hate simply because of race or religion or what side of the street you were raised.

I could no more choose my ancestry than I could choose my own name at birth.

You are attacking him for things he had no control over.

You are British, therefore I hate you because I am French and we had been at war for hundreds, if not thousands, of years!

Ah, the power of logic.

So what happens if you are part english and part french?

The whole thing is silly isn't it?

Well, I am that actually as well as German so my head might as well just implode with internal conflict.

Hey don't give her any ideas.
I'm so disgusted with Sarah Palin. I thought it was a rather arrogantly stupid move to bring her on as his running mate, but I thought at least, while she appeared to be mostly clueless, she might be honest and forthright. I was so wrong! She turned up the B— — — — thermostat so high that she's about to incenerate to whole campaign. Iknow they didn't intend for her to go quite that far. but goshdarnit, she's a "maverick". she can't be controlled! I see that she'll stop at nothing, waste no lie, to get what she wants. She wants to be queen. 1st runner up just isn't enough for her. She's starting to remind me of Jezebel:

the daughter of Ethbaal, the king of the Zidonians, and the wife of Ahab, the king of Israel (1 Kings 16:31). This was the "first time that a king of Israel had allied himself by marriage with a heathen princess; and the alliance was in this case of a peculiarly disastrous kind. Jezebel has stamped her name on history as the representative of all that is designing, crafty, malicious, revengeful, and cruel. She is the first great instigator of persecution against the saints of God. Guided by no principle, restrained by no fear of either God or man, passionate in her attachment to her heathen worship, she spared no pains to maintain idolatry around her in all its splendour. ...The idolatry, too, was of the most debased and sensual kind." Her conduct was in many respects very disastrous to the kingdom both of Israel and Judah (21:1-29).

travelinfotog
That man who shouted that out should have been carted off if he wasn't and Sarah Palin should have Immediately issued a statement re same (being the good Christian woman that she is....)

just because someone doesn't chant Obama that doesn't mean that you are a racist

Of course not, but by your commentary on Michelle Obama I would say you are in that portion who are...

Like i said

Mcbush is a turd and Sara is the water the turd floats in!

Sorry Cindy, your dreams of redecorating the White house won't happen. Best you can do is make friends with Michelle now and maybe you'll get an invite to Barak's inauguration.

SH: "Best you can do is make friends with Michelle now and maybe you'll get an invite to Barak's inauguration."

Well winter IS coming but I don't think it will get cold enought for hell to freeze.  Mrs Obama has been very gracious in the face of all of the attacks on her husband, herself, her party etc. but I don't believe that even Mother Teresa could be THAT forgiving.  ;>)

And if Cindy told the truth, the only reason she married him was a hint of a political career.  I bet she's paraded around for years in her drugged up fog imagining herself in the white house.

I have also noticed that just about every picture they are captured in together (except for the cover of people mag) she has this look on her face of "Ewwwww". You never see the two of them sharing a personal moment between them.  Not to say I need to see them liplock (eeewwwww) but I mean at least act like you like the man.  Also after the debates last night I watched how she interacted with us everyday people.  You know us "joe six packs".  Several of them it looked as if she shook their hand just because she felt obligated in front of the cameras.

Maybe some of the dirt that she sees came from McCain and she thinks its from Obama

oh well she is on my list for people I feel real sorry for. She must go through hell at home with McCains temper. Her or the dog.

Yes, the truth has a well-known liberal bias.

ie childhood,father

What did Barack Hussein Obama II lie about regarding his childhood and father?  By the way, back your claims with reputable sources.

No, Doug, not really...  If you look at some of the neutral fact checking sites, Obama does get zinged for stretching the truth, as well.  It's just that McCain gives so much more material.  What's sad is the number of people spreading flat out lies on the internet.  They read something that some idiot pulled out of his hat, decide, "hey, that sounds really bad, I hate him," and repeat it as fact without bothering to do a minute's worth of research.

Charlotteelise, please read the Code of Honor.

You will find it at the bottom of the page and it has the green sheild next to it. Personal attacks like @8.1, that along with the ALL CAPS writing you posted are grounds for disipline.  And your comment has been reported as inflamatory.

Or the Betty Ford clinic

i totally agree. obama has stood by his ideas and have only started responding to mccain's negative attacks when it became all it is they are campaigning... lies, lies, and more lies.

In the midst of a deep economic crisis, the potential first lady said, the blame game needs to stop and civility in politics needs to make a comeback.

“The days of Ronald Reagan and Tip O’Neill are what we need to look to: a divided government but a government that needs to agree to disagree,” she said. “We’re now seeing polarizing factions, people politicizing things that should be about what’s best for America. Instead, they’re doing what’s best for themselves.”

Is she paying attention? Does she think we don't notice who is saying what? Wasn't she nodding and standing right behind her husband as he was slinging mudballs about Obama today? I'm really dreading the next 4 weeks. This is gonna get really ugly.

On NV you need to cite actual references, please cite yours @9.3

Denise,
He is KICKING butt!!!!   I think this is the best ever---wow.  Double wow.
Hey My Friends! This is for you: Can't talk without a teleprompter right conservatives????  Um no.   Really????   Stutters? Um. No. 
How proud would you be to send this guy all over the world????  I know I would.
No substitute for intelligence-------finally. Someone who actually remembers what the question/topic is. 

Total McCain meltdown? You don't have to wait. You got it tonight.

I felt a pang of sorrow for McCain. He really has screwed up. And then he and the Mrs. scuttle away. I felt a pang of sorrow for having had the FIRST pang of sorrow. Total Obama, nada McCain, in my opinion. I have emailed and talked with others after this debate, Impressions, for one, "like eating a stale slice of bread". I found it very intense, Obama exciting, McCain with ants in his pants. Tom Brokaw was a mediocre choice as moderator.

Sarah Palin is for John McCain what Spiro Agnew was for Richard Nixon.  A lying sleazy attack-dog with fleas.   She can continue to drag out the Troopergate investigation until after this election, but not past 2012.  Don't worry about her.  Unless McCain wins, she is history.  

If McCain wins, hope she is impeached before McCain's cancer returns.  Worry a lot.

I agree twocreeks. I felt a pang of sadness and pity for McCain. It's obvious he wants this so much, and he's let Rovians run his campaign over. He's made too many mistakes, and missed what is probably his last chance at the presidency.

I don't doubt that McCain, in his own mind, has good intentions. I don't agree with his means to those ends, but he's a decent person who loves his country and wants to serve it.

I would honestly feel more comfortable (and therefore less anxiety about this whole election) if Palin was not his running mate. Mitt Romney, Ron Paul even. I certainly don't agree with them since I am not a conservative, but Palin makes me uncomfortable and is ruining his whole campaign.

I feel bad for him, really... But I'll still be voting Obama.

I can't stand how she stands behind McCain nodding her hand in agreement with all of his lies. 

She looks like a chicken boiled in Botox and Vicodin.

again charlotte, I can see by your article hopping and your comment track record (though thankfully your are an Ignored Author) you still have nothing of substance to say.  You have been reported to Newsvine as an inflamatory user.  Your racist comments about Michelle Obama are deplorable. Don't say you haven't read the Newsvine COH.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

OK, Tyler... now you've gone and done it... guess I have no choice but...

... to buy you a beer.

Thank you.

Thank you!

The McCain Palin should be careful about throwing stones, because they are the ones that live in glass houses..... All 7 of them

P.S. I'm watching the debate---Obama addressed every single issue and outlined each step in every proposal that affects us. McCain keeps agreeing that there are problems facing us, but has STILL not given or outlined his plan on how he plans to accomplish it! He is not your friend.

My philosophy and logic professor, Doc Brown, used to say that when someone can't argue on the facts anymore, they resort to the ad hominem attack . Apparently the McCain camp can't argue and win on the issues, so all they can do it make personal attacks against Barack Obama.

They'll say the finger-pointing needs to stop, then point over at the Obama camp and say "like them" or "like they do." They don't really want it to stop, to have a more civil polite discourse. If the attacks stopped, then what would the McCain camp do? They'd have nothing else to say.

Wow Charlotte, you really seem to have some kind of an obsession with Michelle's rear end?  What's up with that?

Ken, I can't see the comment you are referring to because I have Char on permanent ignore since, well, forever....but your comment made me laugh SO hard.  I guess that this medium is humor-friendly after all.  Regards and thanks for the laugh.

Same old story just a different player

The Republican creed:

FIRST, make yourself a savior and reformer

NEXT, bully and control those who do not comply

LASTLY, Cry “victim” and deflect blame to other people when caught in a lie.

You got it GMM.  Seriously, what else does he have?  He has said absolutely nothing substantive since he locked up the nomination.  And his dirt is really just wishful fabrication.  Glad I'm not  Johnny Mac.
