Dems rip into McCain at Obama's convention

Democrats ripped into John McCain as indifferent to the plight of the working class and an ally of big oil on Tuesday, launching wave after wave of attacks from the podium of their national convention.

The "men" who were around the convention center and who ran from the police in a truck full of guns and bullet proof vests were only charged with possession of meth. What a joke! If all goes well for them they will be released within days.(I'm sure some wealthy republicans will hire the best lawyers for them.) And people think racism doesn't exist in America? If these men were found outside of the RNC in this manner they would have been charged with everything under the sun (including terrorism)and would be facing years in prison. Of course you can be sure wood tv and the rest of the news outlets will completely ignore that factor and seep this story under the rug. Let's hope Obama can get out of town before they are released.

Kinda makes ya wonder where B. Hussein Obama’s money comes from, doesn’t’ it.



I’ve read where people be little McCain because he has seven houses; but, don’t say anything about B. Hussein Obama having a house valued over a million dollars ... I don’t know how they can think with their heads stuck so far up their BUTTS ... obviously they are using flatulence’s as a suitable substitute for oxygen!

As usual the Dems message is whatever the GOP is doing is bad. They offer no real solutions mind you, they're too bust comparing McCain to Bush. These are the same people who loved McCain 4 years ago because he went against Bush all the time.

Democrats make me laugh. No platform, no substance, no problem!

It's easy enough to rip on the republicans. They just keep making the same mistakes over and over and bury their heads in the sand.

McCain is a joke anyway. He is an empty suit. No substance, no integrity, no ethics. Even more disturbing is that he's really not very smart.
He is corrupt, as shown by his involvement in the "Keating 5" scandal, and by using his influence to keep his drug-addict wife from being prosecuted for stealing prescriptions in the '90's.

He also stole the "cross in the sand" story he used at the Saddleback forum from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. What a pathetic liar, to pander to the evangelicals like that.

The republicans wanted to crucify Bill Clinton for recieving oral sex, yet now they think McCain's extramarital affairs are OK. McCains' repeated cheating on his first wife makes Bill Clinton look like a saint. Good ol' republican hypocrisy.

He's also a sell-out. He took sides against POW/MIA activists in his efforts to promote trade agreements with the communist Vietnam government.

You're right. And Obama is such a genius and a non-empty suit. I mean, he's been in office for so long and he's so knowledgable, how could you disagree? </extreme sarcasm>

By the way, he didn't steal that line. Liberal bloggers made up that story. Go check out the guy's work. He did -NOT- have that story in it.

Hey Flanders. Your assumptions and comments are idiotic. However, if there are some police who are less than excited about Obama it could have something to do with the fact that he's being backed and he respects a terrorist who bombed our capitol as well as police stations.

Tonight Hillary said that it was important to get another dem in the white house.

The last time we had a dem in the white house he was committing adultery and playing touchy feely in the oval office for 8 years while Osama was planning 9/11.

McCain doesn't even know the difference between the frakin' Sunni's and the Shiites! Remember when Biden had to whisper in McCain's ear "Uh John, Iran isn't financing the Sunni uprising because Iran is a predominately Shiite country." McCain has ALL THAT experience but doesn't know his butt from a hole in the Ground. ABSCAM was a tremedous experience for McSame. And cheating on his wife. The guy tries to act like Lunchbox Joe but has 7 houses. His wife stole drugs from her own charity! She lied about adopting a child via Mother Teresa! if Michelle Obama did those things you CRC Hollanders would pee your pants in outrage. McCain is a joke, a flip flopper extroirdanaire. I'm confident the debates will tell the story, now that Iraq has insisted on a withdrawel timtable what will McSame's attack angle be? Hint: they're scrambling to come up with one as we speak. Since the Brittney ad went over like a fart in church. QUOTE:'THE ECONOMY IS NOT MY STRONG SUIT." ENDQUOTE. Game, set, match.

McCain's problem was not so much the number of houses, we all know he is a kept man, it was that he didn't know how many. He tries to come off as such a regular guy and he could not remember how many houses he and/or Cindy own. He has been living the High Life care of his wife's Bud distributorship for decades. He has all the perks, jets, limos, etc.

Getting the GOP out of the White House is all the solution we need. The McCain of 2000, the last time he ran, is not the McCain of 2008. He is now a evangelical hugging right wing wacko, not a Goldwater libertarian.

I can't wait until they start digging up the other woman he was banging during his first marriage.

The current guys in the White House planned torture, warrantless wire tapping, illegal war, outing CIA agents, lying to cover it up, makes a hummer or two look tame and decent.

Lieberman not Biden I believe had to whisper in his ear but the rest of the post is great. I forgot that Cindy had a Rush moment and was hooked on the good stuff for a while. Funny how that works some kid gets popped for drugs and it is the end of the world, Cindy McCain and Rush have real hard drugs and they get surprise surprise, nothing.

McCain knows all this Bush bashing caused by the far left, and propped up by the mainstream media.
I don't think he wants a continuance of all this BS.
The guy is far more legit than Obama, but if Obama wins, you will see the far right come back and totally trash the dems, like the way the far left does now for 7 years straight to Bush.
I think what has changed, is he is trying to diffuse that situation, but little wimp Obama won't do any of those side by side town hall meetings.
Then the people would get first hand information and form their own conclusions without the liberal media and the far left smear sites ruining our country.
