You know, McKinnon does have a point.

Maybe he's really feeling his White guilt. That's the White man's burden. If he wants to ease that pain why not give Obama a lot of his money for repapations, give up his job to a Black guy for affirmative action, or kiss Obama's ass to show what a pussy lib he really is.

You really are a sad little man.

I going to take a wild guess: You consider yourself "white," right? Better check your family shed for a tarbrush, though. Could be you're a self-loathing, unknowing, part-black white boy who just doesn't know any better.

Gawd, spare us from the ignorami.

"Maybe he's really feeling his White guilt."

Or maybe he really knows John McCain and realized that he doesn't want him as president and that he really has become an Obama supporter because he will be better for the country.

DANNI,

If that were true, then why is he working for John McCain? I think he's just being condencending toward Obama and Obama seems to be running fine without it.

FuckWadThom-half the guys working for McSame were the guys who trashed him in 2000.Think they've forgotten he's crazy and has an illegitimate black child?

It's called money...

Obama leads McCain in November match: Reuters poll

Democrat Barack Obama has opened an 8-point national lead on Republican John McCain as the U.S. presidential rivals turn their focus to a general election race, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday. [Obama 48%, McCain 40%.]
. . .
The poll also found Obama expanded his lead over Clinton in the Democratic race to 26 percentage points, doubling his advantage from mid-April as Democrats begin to coalesce around Obama and prepare for the general election battle with McCain.
. . .
Obama led McCain among independents, 47 percent to 35 percent, and led among some groups of voters who have backed Clinton during their Democratic primary battle, including Catholics, Jews, union households and voters making less than $35,000 a year.

McCain led among whites, NASCAR fans, and elderly voters. McCain led with voters who believed the United States was on the right track, and Obama led with the much higher percentage of voters who believed it was on the wrong track.

Clearly voters are looking for change. Every problem Obama has had in consolidating his base and reaching to the center, John McCain has the same sort of problem," Zogby said.

"It's McCain's lead among voters over the age of 65 that is keeping him within shouting distance of Obama," he said.

There's 3% right there for McCain!

If obma is elected, it will be carter all over again. A failed presidency, high unemployement, high inflation..... But what do most of you care, you don't have jobs anyway and I am sure he will want to increase your welfare paments.

I don't know who this guy is but he has Obama-like integrity.

Don't care what his affiliation is either, he should be on a Obama administration shortlist for leaders.

How do you put a name on perpetually wrong?

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Integrity in a Republican campaign?

Well now that has to be a first.

How long until Gramps McSame breaks his pledge and goes negative. However I doubt that saying Obama has a black baby will work this time.

"If obma is elected, it will be carter all over again."

As opposed to what we have right now....I think Jimmy Carter himself could have run and won this time and he could legally do so if he chose.
It is so laughable to see the same old right wing talking points drug out even now with the obvious disaster that Republican rule has brought.

Back to Mark McKinnon who says that he wants to send a message to the world about Obama. Here is the message: We are whiney, wimpy liberals who find it impossible to criticise a half black man for anything because we are afraid that we will be called intoleramt or racists or worse.

"Maybe he's really feeling his White guilt."

Why is it that when white people express support for Obama it must be white guilt and when a black people do it is racism?

I plan on voting for him because he's the better candidate all-around, and I'm white. I've no guilt about how minorities are treated in this country because I've never discriminated against minorities because it's wrong. It's ass-tools like you who should be bearing any guilt.

It's gonna be fun to watch McCain get spanked again in the general. You republicans deserve to reap what you sow.

Last week, John McCain's campaign manager, Rick Davis, sent a memo to the McCain campaign staff about a brand new "conflicts policy."

This policy was designed to identify staffers with "conflicts" working within McCain's organization after three advisers resigned from the campaign. One was found to be working for an anti-Democrat "527" organization, and the other two -- a regional campaign manager and the convention CEO -- were found to have lobbied for the Myanmar junta in 2003.

Here's the punch line: Rick Davis, author of the memo and the person in charge of finding these "conflicts" within the campaign, founded his own lobbying firm, and, according to the Politico, "has made at least $2.8 million lobbying Congress since 1998."

But it gets worse. Charlie Black is McCain's chief political adviser. Over the past seven years, lobbying filings show he's used his connections with George Bush and Dick Cheney to lobby administration officials for dozens of wealthy clients. The Washington Post reported that "Black said he does a lot of his work by telephone from McCain's Straight Talk Express bus."

John McCain's commitment to keeping Washington lobbyists out of his campaign is a joke -- but it's not funny. It's shocking.

Since Davis sent around his "conflicts" memo, two more people have been shamed out of the McCain campaign. But why not Davis and Black? Of all the possible conflicts revealed, isn't lobbying from the campaign bus the worst? And does McCain care that his campaign manager made millions after starting his own lobbying shop? If those are acceptable, what exactly did McCain find about the people they let go?

Tell John McCain to fire Rick Davis and Charlie Black today. If he's really committed to keeping "conflicts" out of his campaign, he should have no trouble cleaning house the way he needs to.

This past Sunday, John McCain defended the situation by telling reporters that his lobbyist advisers are "not in the lobbying business; they've been out of that business."

And just yesterday, John McCain said he wants to have "the most comprehensive and transparent of any presidential campaign in history" when it comes to lobbyists. How can that be true when people like Charlie Black admit he's conducting his lobbying business on the back of the bus?

John McCain and his campaign can't have it both ways. On the one hand, he says "ethics and transparency are not election year buzz words." But, on the other hand, he and his top campaign advisors have no problem fudging about their lobbying records. When pressed on the discrepancy, they give a flip excuse: Americans don't care.

DDENTON,

Your personal anecdote was very inspiring. It's really wonderful to know that there are some progressive, tolerant peoplr out there like you. But, somehow though I get a sneaking suspicioun that in the middle of the night, when no one else is around you have an overwhelming urge to shout the "N" word as loud as you can.

Face it, McCain won't work against Obama either. Of course, after 8 years of Bush, there's nobody who could win as a GOPper.

Unless, of course, they go with the Sirhan Huckabee plan.

"And just yesterday, John McCain said he wants to have "the most comprehensive and transparent of any presidential campaign in history" when it comes to lobbyists. How can that be true when people like Charlie Black admit he's conducting his lobbying business on the back of the bus?"

They don't bother trying to cover up that they are lobbyist. That sounds pretty "comprehensive and transparent" to me.

McCain can't run away from it so they are just re-branding it and running on it.

It's called "my party fucked my eyes out, stuck me in the ass with oil and we're all out of creativity"

GW ran solely on a slanderous campaign ruled by none other than Karl Rove.

Many seem to forget the fuckin' that ole McSame got in 2000 by his own party.

Push polls anyone?

McKinnon realizes that African-Americans are morally
superior than European-Americans.

Voting for someone because they are black is not
racist - it's just common sense (change is coming!).

What do you expect on the heels of the disasterous Nixon presidency? We were up to our eyeballs in debt from Vietnam and the president had lost all but 20% of his credibility rating with the American public. He left the White House tainted and America wounded and in shock.

Remind you of anyone? Think George W Bush - (yet Nixon could put a complete sentence together off the cuff and without cue cards)
