when has mccain stated a truth? i missed that part.
- Anika
Mark: What do you mean by "truth hurts?" McCain isn't telling the truth. Obama is the one who's telling the truth. My blood pressure is way up now. >:(

The Obama campaign *has* been overwhelmingly negative and truth twisting - granted, they stick to the issues and lie about those instead of twisting the truth on personal histories, but seeing McCain finally call out Obama on his politics is something I've been waiting for the whole campaign.
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
but he stated flat out lies. again. i understand the fringe wingers like malking and hannity like the lies, but it's a shame that sort of crap has filtered into a national campaign.
- Anika
Hey, Mark...I'm just going to say this to you once, STFU. McCain isn't shoveling the truth. I'm sorry that you think that, but you need to open your eyes and face the facts. Your guy is behind the 8 ball and losing...BADLY. He isn't leading the way in a positive campaign...he went negative because he's so desperate at this point that that was the only thing he could have done to make any movement after his performance in the previous debates and the economy.

i agree faboo. just pushing those lies til they become truth
- Cee Bee
And he's telling something so opposite to the truth that it's called...wait for it....LYING!

I disagree with Mark GREATLY but we want to respectful
- R. Ferguson
If you disagree, you haven't been watching Obama's attack ads.
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
I hate all the attack ads. Politics is politics. It is not like we are choosing between normal people. We are choosing between politicians.
- Bret Taylor
Indeed, but as someone who disagrees with Obama's politics, McCain has waited way too long to say "hey, a lot of the stuff you're saying about my stances is incorrect."
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
Of course, I have way better things to do with my time than watch commercials...especially political ones.

How can you disagree with me, then? If you haven't seen them, you don't know what you're disagreeing with.
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
Because you are so blatantly just trying to stir up shit. This is obviously room leaning more towards the left than the right and you are totally taking the defensive and trying to get people pissed off.
- Jennifer Marie Sandbank
@Jennifer: Just so we're clear, you're disagreeing not because you know something I don't, but just on principal. got it.
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
That's all "Rizzn" does is stir up shit. It's his hobby.

-10000 to all those who are supporting McCain and agree with Mark. +10000 to all those who are supporting McCain and disagree with Mark. :P

It's fascinating to me as British Thatcherite / Conservative who ought to be voting Republican but I cannot vote for someone who continually lies. BTW the Joe Plumbers here love Joe Biden
- Sally Church
@Molly, really? +infinity to anyone who agrees with me. I win.
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
Wrong or right McCain doesn't inspire me for the future of this country. His character is the old and angry type. But of course the old man can't handle being crushed like he his.
- orionstarr
@orionstarr - Agreed. I didn't strongly dislike McCain before the debate last night, now I really do not like him. I did dislike his policies and politics before, but I thought he was alright, personality wise. Now I know I couldn't take 4 years of him.
- JoEllen
Yeah dismissing "health" of the mother was the final nail for me. I guess McCain can let us know when a mother's life is worth consideration.
