GOP raises McCain

And have a little compassion for the family issue of teenage pregnancy.
I loved the image of McCain standing in front of a mansion during his speech (what an image given all the hoopla that McCain couldn't remember how many houses he had -- so much for the GOP's appeal to the Sam's Club voter rather than the traditional Country Club voter)!!!! More importantly, all the distortion of Democrats' plans by touting the same old tired criticisms (Democrats want to raise taxes or reduce jobs, etc.) were all lies. Perhaps they didn't get the memo. Democrats are proposing incentives to create domestic jobs, investments in next generation energy technologies, reduced abortions, etc.
What the GOP must do now is articulate specifically how they'll change from the Bush years. I won't buy it!
The gop's party platform looks like something out of the book Fahr. 911. The religious nuts now control the gop, have for about 8 years now.
and he is running against the establishment: 8 years of Bush and 6 years of the gop in control of congress. incredible. the public must be asleep.
if you love Bush, you will love McCain. what a lieing hype game. If you don't believe that, ask yourself why no one mentioned the actual issues?
Because they don't care about you the middle class: it is still the party of the money.
No Dick Cheney mentioned once, and a brief reference to the current president?
This last 8 years have been a disaster! Don't be fooled into thinking that a McCain presidency is anything more than the same failed policies, over and over again.
McCain has no standing to talk about Change. None.
Move on, old man, its time for a new direction. One that doesn't involved the corrupt failed policies of George Bush and company.
Unfortunately, Democratic operatives have chosen to spend this week attacking us. They have stooped lower than anyone could have imagined. And with just 60 days left in this election, we must respond to these attacks with the truth. McCain-Palin Victory 2008 is a fund set up to do just this; to set the record straight and get the truth out to all Americans who support our cause."
GOD BLESS AMERICA - Vote for McCain this November 2008, Never forget a Veteran, and, pray for our troops.
I can't believe someone actually called McCain a coward for being in captivity at the Hanoi Hilton for 5 and a half years. That's got to be one of the LOWEST comments I have ever seen on a blog. I have personally visited the Hanoi Hilton in Vietnam. It's a horrible, dark, evil place. Anyone, who would voluntarily stay there so someone else could go home is, a TRUE HERO.
Fortunately, I am happy to report, these far-left loons don't represent the mainstream of America. They only represent a very small percentage of pathetic people who have never succeeded at anything and want to blame the rest of the world for it.
It's the other way around. The Republicn Party became the face of McCain
Carter, Reagan, Bush sr, Clinton, Bush jr walked with their wives.
Maybe that's the change?
Reporters need to ask him what is his stand on this and does he promice he will not do it.
I think Sen. McCain gave up any claim to "maverik" status when he allowed his party, at his convention, to write the most conservative platform in history, abandoned any thought of giving the Vice Presidential slot to those he really wanted, and bowed down to James Dobson who thinks I'm going to go to hell because I'm LDS.
I'll vote for the candidate who gives me hope for the future of this country (a concept the Republicans ridiculed for three nights running), has never committed adultery, has not married into his fortune, understands and can relate to my generation, and has values like mine. That's Barack Obama.
By the way, Jesus said: "I come not tro bring peace but the sword.

Barack Obama represents anti-semitism at its worse, and will continue to take the country in the same direction that the congressional Democrats have attempted to take us for 40 of the last 50 years. NOWHERE!
It's time for a change.
McCAIN/PALIN
thing going on, between McClames wife and palin...
I think, in the future we will see a possible cat thing
going on!!!
meow!!!
I feel uncomfortable when, as I see it, a high schooler and to become father, is exploited for political gains.
McCain 1965: "I promise to love and honor Carol until death parts us."
Promises, promises....
If he's a maverick by bucking the Republican Part, why not just pick the other party?
Of course, the maverick bit is a joke. Not only did McCain vote with Bush over 90% of the time, he bragged about voting for Bush over 90% of the time.
And hardly a word in his speech about the economy -- when the very next morning the newspapers report that joblessness us up past the 6% mark.
"Creepy" is the best description for the wacked-out conservative fools.
Any group with the likes of Rush Limbaugh as their conservative guru deserves that distinction.
"Creepy" and Crazy as well.

I believe the GOP thinks it has nothing to lose and may gain ( at least with the right wing). But, with it�s VP nominee McCain and the GOP does not have a chance.
