Obama and McCain open to unmoderated debates across country

Senators John McCain and Barack Obama are already drawing up strategies for taking each other on in the general election, focusing on the same groups -- including independent voters and Latinos -- and about a dozen states where they think the contest is likely to be decided this fall, campaign aides said.

McCain is too old for anything so he is too old to run for President. Obama is young and alive he will pay attention to what we need in America. Good bye McCain.

Hillary Clinton is smart but do we need another back up for Bill Clinton? Hillary is that back up. I say no. So screw her. Go vote for the young man and that young man is Obama.

Obama is a listner. He will listen to us. We americans need to live a peacefull life. So far the last 15 years have been hell. The whole Bush administration has been hell. We found ourselves at the hell of these airliner bombers due to our own FBI and CIA faults. The protection was not there. The FBI and the CIA were dead asleep. I hope it does not happen again. We taxpayers pay for their salaries. So if they were asleep then we Americans need our money back.

McCain is very tough and well seasoned. He will not be a push over for Obama.

How many McCain Meltdowns will we see before November? Pass the popcorn! Obama '08!

Let's see McCain answer for his America hating record when he comes against Obama:

1. John McCain voted against establishing a national holiday in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Now he says his position has "evolved," yet he's continued to oppose key civil rights laws.

2. According to Bloomberg News, McCain is more hawkish than Bush on Iraq, Russia and China. Conservative columnist Pat Buchanan says McCain "will make Cheney look like Gandhi."

3. His reputation is built on his opposition to torture, but McCain voted against a bill to ban waterboarding, and then applauded President Bush for vetoing that ban.

4. McCain opposes a woman's right to choose. He said, "I do not support Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned." (He recently announced that he was giving up on getting exceptions to rape, incest, and the life of the mother written into the GOP platform.)

5. The Children's Defense Fund rated McCain as the worst senator in Congress for children. He voted against the children's health care bill last year, then defended Bush's veto of the bill.

6. He's one of the richest people in a Senate filled with millionaires. The Associated Press reports he and his wife own at least eight homes! His wife is estimated to be worth $100 Million. Yet McCain says that Obama is an elitist. Obama and his wife just finished paying off his student loans three years ago.

7. Many of McCain's fellow Republican senators say he's too reckless to be commander in chief. One Republican senator said: "The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He's erratic. He's hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me."

8. McCain talks a lot about taking on special interests, but his campaign manager and top advisers are actually lobbyists. The government watchdog group Public Citizen says McCain has 59 lobbyists raising money for his campaign, more than any of the other presidential candidates.

9. McCain has sought closer ties to the extreme religious right in recent years. The pastor McCain calls his "spiritual guide," Rod Parsley, believes America's founding mission is to destroy Islam, which he calls a "false religion." McCain sought the political support of right-wing preacher John Hagee, who believes Hurricane Katrina was God's punishment for gay rights and called the Catholic Church "the Antichrist" and a "false cult."

10. He positions himself as pro-environment, but he scored a 0—yes, zero—from the League of Conservation Voters last year.

This will be a democrat's dream.

WHO CARES WHO WINS! They are both:

-Open Border/Guest Worker/Free traders.

-Carbon neutral nuts.

-Deficit spenders

-Against oil drilling/refining/coal/hydro

-Affirmative Action whores

Oh sure McCain is against abortion and Obama loves killing babies. Sure there is a dimes worth of difference, but theres also a trillion dollars laying on the table, so what is a dime to a trillion?

3rd party time.

Mcain is living in the past. Roughly about 40 years ago. His war never ended in his head he will lead the country into the future. Thats why he is willing to illegally occupy Iraq for 100 years, to make up for the one the country lost while he was a prisoner. His presidency is just therapy ofr him.....

McCain - Obama

joke....

They're both nothing more than two heads of the same corporate party.

Either one is a total waste of my vote.

mr hussein has the upper hand on the debates..No matter what the subject is, they will scream racism. McCain won't be able to overcome the bleatings from Alvin Sharptongue.

mr hussein will intentionally prod McCain and make him lose his temper and say something horrible like, "I think Colin Powell was a great General"...

At that point mr hussein will scream, "You filthy old geezer! You are pandering to the black voat!!"

McCain will of course have no comeback therefore is screwed before he even starts.

Man...what do you do? It's picking between the two weakest candidates. This is why Obama is ready to debate McCain. He sure did run from the strongest candidate when she wanted a one on one. This country is just wacko.

Hillary now or in 2012. I just can't see it any other way.
