He told a woman at his rally something like "Obama is not an Arab. He is a good man and a fine family man. The only problem I have with him ...we both want to be president!"

His supporters BOOED him!!

I couldn't believe he said that.

What's next?? Will he kick Palin's derriere back to Alaska? I hope so.

It was nice to see a glimmer of the man he used to be before 2001.

etc

No, just a cynical realization (probably from his media advisors) that ....it's backfiring.

He unleashed the Hounds of Hell and he's trying to get them back in the kennel before the Moderates and Independents see HIM "palling around" with the Rabid Right.

He's got THEIR vote (the Hard Right)....this crap loses him the Middle...and he knows it...........now.

I believe in who McCain wanted to be. Many times he has done the right thing, so, I wasn't at all surprised to see this display of character. I think he is trying to control the Republican party tactics once again for the good of the country.

I wonder who writes Palin's speeches...Ann Coulter?

No way, not vile enough.

Ann would be insulted.

And NO wonder they booed...

We know that Hussein Obama is a Moslim and a bad man black Boy... UH-huh!

They booed McCain.

This is the McCain that I used to like and respect, and the McCain I would have voted for before he sold his soul to the Christian right.

Even though he did do the right thing, I doubt he did it for the right reasons. All the commercials trying desperately to make hay out of the Ayres thing are still running. Sarah Palin is still winking at the crowd and hiking up her skirt to show a little leg while saying "terrorist" every other word.

McCain only stepped in when it became clear that all the slack jawed mouth breathing hillbillies that attend his rallies are making him look bad and dragging him down in the polls, and that his desperate attempt to make the last few weeks of the race about character are failing miserably.

Will he drop Palin like a hot potato? Not a chance. He was browbeaten by the GOP into picking her and if he were to dump her he would never recover from the wrath of the Christian right. But that's OK. She's a moron and is helping Obama win the race. She keeps hinting around that she thinks the Reverand Wright association should be talked about more, without any inkling as to why it has not come up yet.

The minute McCain rolls that out, the Obama campaign will immediately respond by informing voters about:

- Palin's association with a church that is affiliated with Jews for Jesus, a group that believes that violence against Israel is simply an example of God's will coming to pass on Earth.

- The laying-on-of-hands blessing she received from an African minister pleading with God to keep her safe from "all forms of witchcraft."

- The pastor of her church telling voters in 2004 that they would go to hell if they voted for John Kerry.

If it's OK to judge Obama on his association with Wright, then all this bullshit is fair game too. I doubt we'll be seeing her act so high and mighty any more, now that it's been concluded that she abused her power as Governer by firing Monegan. A real nice shining beacon of truth, ethics, and morals now, don't you think, moronic GOP strategists?

at the debate on Wednesday night. Instead it will be just two tired candidates discussing the same issues we have heard a thousand times before. As mookie is apt to say.."how droll"

This is so appro.. "McCain unleashed the Hounds of Hell and he's trying to get them back in the kennel "

Now he has unleashed the Hounds Of Talk Radio. I wonder how that will work out for him...I don't think it will be pretty.

bandy

but remember Palin is no lady. You might want to think of Sarah as "Bush in a skirt"

That should cool you down...

way down

ash&andout

on this board but I top posted your post. I thought it was so factual and interesting I wanted everyone to read it.

If I violated your space please forgive me. I meant well.

Oh come on people, like Obama's Spanish language ad putting McCain and Limbaugh as best buds is any different?

You're on rocky ground when you start parsing hypocricy.

McCain doesn't want to be doing this shit any more than Obama does. I honestly believe both candidates would rather spend some serious time on the issues, but they're repsective party bases won't let them. If no one else does I remember clearly the clarion calls for Obama to go on the negative against McCain, to attack back in kind, and the cheers when he finally capitulated.

Because they're doing it isn't a defense, people.

I blame the American people, we've allowed our system to morph into this peice of shit it is today willingly and we're doing nothing to get ourselves out of it, so we must like it here.

and haven't been watching the news. McCain did a complete turn-around yesterday and wants to be friends with Obam now.

Of course he pissed off the Crazies....but he got some of his so called Maverick image back.

I no speaks de Spanish...

etc
