Racism, violence and inciting violence will only lose the election for us. I want to win this election without threatening minorities! Again, these are Dim plants.

LAKEVILLE, Minn. -- Sen. John McCain spoke out against the growing nastiness his Republican crowds have been demonstrating toward Barack Obama, asking that his presidential rival be treated with respect.
At a town hall meeting Friday afternoon, he took four different opportunities to promise that he will treat the Democratic nominee with respect and to ask the same of his supporters.
Still, his campaign is hardly backing down. On Friday, it released a TV ad linking Sen. Obama to a 1960s radical.
At the town hall meeting, one audience member said that he and his wife are expecting a child next year. "Frankly, we're scared. We're scared of an Obama presidency," the questioner said.

Obama could not answer this because his party's platform and he himself is for mass legalization of these invaders. Further, McCain could drive some wedges, albeit not dramatic, into the African-American vote. African Americans across the board are generally fed up with Illegal Immigration. The Conservative base would also continue to be kept in the loop and motivated.
There you have it. This is how McCain gets to swoop up massive segments of the Undecideds.
Do YOU want him to do this?
Do YOU want him to win the election?
Does HE want to win the election?
Frankly, anyone who isn't has a screw loose. That may well turn out to be a majority in this country.
No. They're Americans that are angry.
Seriously, what is this? In 2004, you couldn’t walk into a Barnes and Nobles without tripping over frothing-at-mouth anti-Bush books. You know the ones - “Revealed: The Secret Bush-Cheney plan to kill your children and feed them to Halliburton executives” and the like. It got so bad that someone coined the term “Bush Derangement Syndrome”. But we’re supposed to be respectful? We’re horrible if we tell the truth about Barack Obama while the Democrats get to make stuff up like the secret military draft that never happened?
If you noticed the questions that were being asked at his appearances, they were about 'taking it to Obama' - let me tell you, the people who ask questions at the events are screened and chosen, as are the questions that are being asked. If the people talk about being angry, and wanting McCain to 'take it to Obama', then he can continue hitting him, hard, with ACORN, Ayers, etc.
McCain is doing fine. He just needs us to think about things from his perspective sometimes, and support him.
It's like Rush said this week: we are going to pull him across the finish line, and hold him accountable while he is in office.
There is no other choice, and frankly, I admire a lot about him. He was not my choice, but I need him now, as does America.
Racism, violence and inciting violence will only lose the election for us. I want to win this election without threatening minorities! Again, these are Dim plants.
We are very angry, but we can allow Senator McCain to act respectful and to expect it of us. We do not have to give an inch, but we also do not have to stoop to their level, and behave as atrociously as they behave.
We are going to win; all the signs prove it. If the Obama campaign were doing as well as they say they are doing, why all the vote fraud? Why did the Obama campaign withdraw from four states, because they know that they cannot win?
They use push polls, indoctrination and propaganda to try to manipulate us; are we their puppets? I know that I am not one of their puppets. No way am I going to act in the manner they desire me to, and give them what they want so very much.
Come on; take a step back, take a deep breath and use your head, as my grandmother used to say.
On Geraldo, a few minutes ago.... Beckel and another guest basically calling McCain Palin supporters ‘trailer trash’ and Becket said “I know what happens in trailer parks on Friday nights” or something like that. Geraldo saying no matter the Ayers connection... not surprised Geraldo probably hangs around with former terrorists as well.
Despicable. I want to beat the smarmy smiles off their faces by putting Mc Cain Palin in the Whitehouse.
There ya go! That’s my goal as well :-)
If I could close my business down for a few days I would like to go help out in the battleground states.
I’m trying to rope my daughter into doing it. She’s making calls in local offices, but Cali is not really in play.
I am in Ohio, and working for McCain in Cuyahoga County. In 2004, our county decided the presidency.
There is a man at our Victory Center, who came from Guam, just to volunteer for the election! He is retired, and here at his own expense. He is in the center from the time it opens everyday, until it closes at night. What an inspiration.
See if your daughter can do it for both of you.
I heard there was one, huge, amazing crowd that turned out for Palin in California! The pics in the news were stupendous. McCain has 50 centers there. Sounds like he expects to do well there.
Thanks. Yes there was an amazing crowd in Carson!
Prayers for you in Ohio.
I guess I missed a news cycle. I didn’t see any of that.
McCain sounds like he is still in the Senate, the great deliberative body, debating with fellow Senators. He’s in a street fight with an in-your-face opponent who shows very little respect for McCain. Obama’s campaign has stooped so low to air ads that link McCain and Rush Limbbaugh and then lie about Rush’s statements about Mexican immigration. Another lying ad was aired in Florida, to link McCain’s privatization options with current Social Security receipients. Even factcheck.org had to knock down both those ads.
