The truth is that your party screwed things up royal.

Calling the competition a bunch of names will only insure that your views are completely disregarded… and that may not be a bad thing.

Let me get this straight: You actually read Michelle Obama’s thesis?

Why? Is she running for something?

I may disagree with Obama on issues but he is a very smart guy.

Did you hear the EIGHT minutes of “UHs” that Rush was able to cut out of his press conference in the Mid-East(?)? Go visit any speack teacher and ask if Obama is the model for eloquence.

When you add in his idiotic positions . . . holy crap, how can anyone with a brain think he’d make a good garbage man, much less the pres.?

I guess the Pied Piper’s call only affects some people and they can’t help but follow him. BAAAA.

I agree!

“Look, my opponent is a smart fellow, and you can rest assured that after I beat him in the election I will listen to him, and his supporters, to help me guide this nation.”

I’d welcome this from either candidate.

Keep it up, Sen. McCain, keep it up. That way we can be sure of a landslide!

WP-The mainstream media has been reluctant to call McCain’s “Troops” attack ad what it is — false. But the Washington Post devotes three pages to debunking the charge in a front page story today:

For four days, Sen. John McCain and his allies have accused Sen. Barack Obama of snubbing wounded soldiers by canceling a visit to a military hospital because he could not take reporters with him, despite no evidence that the charge is true.

The attacks are part of a newly aggressive McCain operation whose aim is to portray the Democratic presidential candidate as a craven politician more interested in his image than in ailing soldiers, a senior McCain adviser said. They come despite repeated pledges by the Republican that he will never question his rival’s patriotism.

The essence of McCain’s allegation is that Obama planned to take a media entourage, including television cameras, to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany during his week-long foreign trip, and that he canceled the visit when he learned he could not do so. “I know that, according to reports, that he wanted to bring media people and cameras and his campaign staffers,” McCain said Monday night on CNN’s “Larry King Live.”

The Obama campaign has denied that was the reason he called off the visit. In fact, there is no evidence that he planned to take anyone to the American hospital other than a military adviser, whose status as a campaign staff member sparked last-minute concern among Pentagon officials that the visit would be an improper political event.

…

Despite serious and repeated queries about the charge over several days, McCain and his allies continued yesterday to question Obama’s patriotism by focusing attention on the canceled hospital visit.

Read the whole thing.

The New York Times , meanwhile, publishes an editorial calling the ad “a false account of what occurred.”

UPDATE: McCain’s campaign seems to be backing off some of their more spurious charges. Ben Smith reports:

McCain’s camp, accused in the New York Times and the Washington Post this morning of distorting Obama’s canceled trip to a military hospital in German, seems to have backed off the core of the charge: That he canceled the trip because “the Pentagon wouldn’t allow him to bring cameras.”

“It does now seem that Barack Obama snubbed the troops for reasons other than a lack of photo-op potential,” writes McCain blogger Michael Goldfarb this morning, contradicting his campaign’s televised ads and his candidate’s statements.

But as the media swings around to contradict McCain’s story, the campaign is trying to stay on offense, blaming the press for the confusion:

“[T]he initial reports were less clear,” Goldfarb writes.
