  1. 1 David W

    Since volunteering with the Obama Campaign, I have met some amazing people. There is a guy from Senegal (west africa) who has lived here in the states for 10 yrs. He has applied to become a US citizen. He said that he has been waiting to see if he will become a citizen before Election Day. Sadly tomorrow (6 Oct.) is the deadline here in VA. At least several days a week he is in the campaign office. There was german citizen who lives in the area who said he is working at Obama campaign office in Newport News (NN), VA (about 40 miles away) he stopped by to pick up yard signs and bumper stickers for the NN office. Also I have met a lady who originally is from canada and has lived in the US for the past 23 years, who became a US citizen 3 yrs ago.

    Hampton Roads has a large military population active duty; retired; and those in between. I am a navy veteran of 21 yrs., now living in VA Beach, VA. There is a retired USMC Maj. (05); a retired submarine officer, Vietnam veterans; and guys who have served in Iraq. These guys are not just voting but also volunteering “man hours” to make Sen. Obama the next commander in chief.

    About two weeks ago I was manning the front desk and answered the phone. A guy was calling from CA stating that he was planning to fly to VA (a swing state) to assist in anyway he could. There is this attorney from the washington, dc area who is employed with the government who used his vacation time to help with the voter registration drive.

    One day I and others were tasked with hand writing the local campaign office phone number and email address on blank voter registration forms. After about 25 minutes of writing the same information over and over again I started thinking they need a rubber stamp; preprinted labels or something. But then I looked over and saw this attorney across the room doing the same monotonousness job I was doing. And I thought if this man is willing to do it who am I to be griping internally?

    Prior to learning what he did for a living, the day before I recall seeing him in the campaign office stapling papers for about 30 mins. Today, (Sunday 5 Oct) I explain to him that he was my motivation to continue with the hand written notes on the registration forms. He said “If it took (him) me to hand write every voter registration form in VA to help prevent four more years under the republican party he was prepaid to do so.

    There is a barber shop not far from the Obama Campaign Office owned by some guys originally from the dominican republic I stopped by their shop to see if anyone eligible to vote in the presidential election. They said everyone they knew was already for November 4. I also asked if the dominican community was supporting Obama or “mcbush” and they said everyone is for Obama. I said “Cool, maybe he (Obama) will make it.” Then one of the guys in a spanish accent said “No! Not Maybe. OBAMA WILL WIN!”

    Wow!

    Obama 2008!

    Hi! Great site. I’ve created an anti-McCain poster and it is available to download for free in .pdf format:
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/71644677@N00/2862948679/

    On that flickr link, there is a link to download an 11″x17″ .pdf version of the poster, so that you can print it and post it wherever you like.

    Keep up the good work! NO JOHN!

  3. 3 NO MCCAIN

    25 Deadly Sins - Just the Beginning of the John McCain Story

    1. He publicly decries the influence of lobbyists in Washington, but has accepted more campaign contributions from lobbyists than any other candidate by far.
    2. He has admitted on many occasions that he does not understand economics – but denies saying this during debates.
    3. He voted against Bush tax cuts twice saying they “benefited the rich” – but now says it was because spending cuts weren’t attached to the bill.
    4. He tried to push an amnesty bill down our throats (McCain-Kennedy) but denied it was amnesty for illegals because they would be required to pay a small fine to become citizens.
    5. He was the only Republican member of the Keating Five savings and loan scandal, which cost taxpayers over $3 Billion.
    6. He made over 32 propaganda tapes for the Viet Cong suggesting that American’s primarily targeted schools, hospitals, children.
    7. He has been the main obstacle to bills in the senate related to helping families find missing POWs/MIAs from the Korean and Viet Nam wars.
    8. He opposes drilling for oil in the Artic National Wildlife Refuge – although only 0.5% of ANWR land would potentially be used for oil production. He even put ANWR on the same footing as the Grand Canyon.
    9. He authored the McCain-Feingold Bill, which severely limits free speech in campaigns.
    10. He graduated 5th from the bottom of his class at the Naval Academy – wasting his time there while being supported by taxpayers.
    11. He married his mistress after his 1st wife was severely injured in a car accident.
    12. He has been at the head of normalizing relations with Viet Nam and China while his father-in-law became a major beer distributor in Viet Nam and China.
    13. He was endorsed by the New York Times.
    14. He is very “close friends” with Hillary Clinton, according to both him and Bill Clinton.
    15. He told the Viet Cong the flight paths and targets of US aircraft, endangering the lives of his fellow airmen.
    16. His campaign is run by lobbyists – He has more than double the number of lobbyists on his campaign staff than any other Republican or Democratic candidate.
    17. His economic platform consists of cutting pork barrel spending – which sounds good, but will hardly have any impact on the US budget or economy.
    18. He supports the carbon cap and tax approach to global warming, which will cost the US tens of trillions of dollars and make almost no impact (think India and China).
    19. He has no understanding of business, business accounting, taxes, job creation on the private sector – his promise is essentially “your jobs aren’t coming back”.
    20. He publicly rails against government earmarks and says he has never asked for earmarks – however he has asked for earmarks for Arizona on several occasions.
    21. He constantly states that he was the only one supporting the troop surge in Iraq, although that has been proven to be blatantly false.
    22. He has a hair trigger temper – he’s cursed at fellow senators in committee on various occasions.
    23. He has had skin cancer twice and is 71 years old.
    24. He was negotiating with the Democrats about switching parties and being John Kerry’s running mate – he denies this now, but its been confirmed by his own aides.
    25. He is the Republican the liberal media wants to win the Republican nomination – they’ll have a field day with all the skeletons in his closet.

    Bonus 1 – He was less conservative than 78% of other Republicans in the senate (American Conservative Union).

    Bonus II – Helped form the Gang of 14 to further stick it to Republicans.

  4. 4 Rest Of The World

    I am not an American. So I cannot vote in your election. But I beg of you. Please do everything you can to stop this mad man John McCain. The truth is America cannot afford another 4 years of Bush. There will not be an America if the neo cons get into the White House again. How can you possible go past an inspirational leader like Obama and vote for Geriatrix McCain and his moronic pick for the vice president Palin! ..Who has international political experience because she lives next to Russia!!!.. You people buy this shit? An old man who stutters, probably has brain damage and cant remember what he is talking half the time is neck and neck in polls with someone like Barack Obama? Seriously, the whole world is shaking their heads at American politics. And to think the actions of the US president affects the whole world. Dont believe me? Ask the millions who died in Iraq. Oh thats right, you cant. THEY ARE DEAD.

    Even though I didnt like Hillary any more than Obama did, I am starting to think it was a mistake not to include her in the ticket. Even though Joe Biden is a good VP pick, her inclusion would have sealed the deal for Obama. I hope she will campain for Obama in the coming months in earnest. One can only hope!!!

    The thing you americans can do now is to mobilise the young and the educated. I am sure no person with high school education and not brainwashed by Fox news will ever vote for John McCain. Get as many people out and work from the grassroots for Obama. Also I hope he brings back his great attitute that he showed during the primaries. I think he has gone soft once he secured the nomination. He should fight back at the republicans in the same way they are attacking him now. No more Mr Nice guy. I am sure Obama and Biden will excel in the debates. But thats not enough. Run ads showing the true colour of these Republicans and the so called USA lovers.

    I cant imagine what I will do if I hear that the republicans are back in the White House. It will be soo saddening!!!

  6. 6 P J Johnson

    What in the world is the matter with people who have a grip against Barack Obama? The man has done what we have been waiting for for years. Getting people involved again with making the decisions for all of us. Apathy has been the ruin of our country where only a small amount of people have been making decisions for the majority. John McCain is to old to understand the new era of voters. This is their time to decide who will lead them. I am a 58 year old woman and can see the excitement on young peoples faces and also on my peers who have been waiting for years to have a candidate who can make us proud to be Americans. PLEASE VOTE AND VOTE DEMOCRATIC FOR A NEW AMERICA!

  7. 7 Ruth Calabria

    A Warning for Barack Obama. Concerning your upcoming debates with McCain. Go as the Barack whose white mother comes from Bedford Stuyvesant and whose black father deserted him when he was less than two years old. This is not the debate club. This is not Confirmation class. This is the boxing ring. And best you be a Mohammed Ali. He should have been your first pick as wise advisor, not your dear, if wise, family oriented wife. You tell McCain: I don’t believe your prisoner of war shit any more than I believe you didn’t have the questions ahead of time. You tell them you don’t believe it, Barack, because you have an email from a mathematician who says it was probabilistically and experientially too obvious, the ease with which McCain answered the important first set of questions so presciently perfect.

    Our mathematics can also prove that Iraq was an invasion of American Forces, not a coalition, other than in words. And our bio-mathematical analysis also suggests that the conservatives are all perverse homosexual rapists and liars, collectively a Mark Foley, Larry Craig flag-shipped ludicrous bunch of power mad faggots. Cindy McCain is a subordinate fem lesbian. She goes down for the strap-on. Up the ass. It all fits with Cindy’s pill popping. Ask her drug rehab psychiatrist. Cindy was an upper class piece of cake for her rich parents who fucked her when she was a child as often happens to daughters in rich families in their having both the requisite perversity and the power to get away with it. Take a second look at this blank eyed plaything who was McCain’s mistress while McCain trashed his first wife who waited faithfully for him the five years after McCain’s plane was shot down while bombing the life out of a hundred thousand Vietcong women, children and primitive men living in thatched huts whose prime sin in their napalmed life was that they lived in a land that had oil off its shores when the North Vietnamese were kid brothers of our Orwellian foe, the Russians. Or, if your prefer the soapier explanation, McCain’s first wife was fucking for other soldiers even before John was shot down. That’s as typical for military wives as it is for the daughters of the rich. The military is too powerful in its officer rank to allow for anything vaguely resembling love except in a Ronald Reagan propaganda movie. Contrast to Dwight Eisenhower’s love affair with his secretary that had no love in it because our General and President was admittedly impotent. Typical for a Republican. It’s the orderliness of living at that level of military hierarchical control that ends freedom. If the soldier’s superior officer owns your husband, you’re not going to be nice to him? Rape and coercion is the reproductive strategy followed in the military, both heterosexual and homosexual. Yes sir! It’s said perfectly in the movie, The Sergeant, starring Rod Steiger, who was never hired again, blacklisted, after he made that piece of truth. McCain ditched his unfaithful whore of a wife. Or alternatively, if she really was June Allison, McCain messed her up bad by sneaking off with another woman, the aforesaid, child molested, Cindy, I like to have my tits pinched by my mother, McCain.

    This is a slightly more realistic view than you may have, Barack. Open your eyes to it or otherwise you can kiss your family goodbye. Dukakis’s faithful loving wife, Kitty, started taking cough medicine like it was Gator Aide after they lost the election with egg on their faces. It wasn’t what the Dukakis’s had succeeded at that mattered, Governor of Massachusetts and sparkly wife as presidential candidates. It was what they didn’t succeed at that mattered. So Barack, put Michelle’s advice aside. And listen to Mohammed Ali, I am the greatest, today. In the next round, kick McCain in the balls. We wrote a letter to your Denver Campaign Coordinator, Victoria Scott-Haynes, whose husband played football for the Denver Broncos, telling Victoria, way back in May, that your just taking the crap, as started in the ABC debate, is deadly. But Victoria and the rest of your campaign are as blind to the reality of the game up at the next level as you are. Your fate, Barack, is as in the movie, Field of Dreams, as the guy who gets one time at bat in the major leagues and strikes out. If you lose, and you are going to if you don’t listen up, it will be, as we make clear on our website, your ass strewn across the backboard in a very public way with them waiting down below bucket of tar and basket of chicken feathers in hand.

    We say all this scientifically, mathematically. We agree with and actively defend Robert Scheer’s insight in the San Francisco Chronicle that Saakashvili and the Georgia war were schemed up intentionally to make McCain look good and fire up his once sputtering campaign and beat you. It’s in the SF Chronicle. Obampa Bumpa, you don’t get to play it a second time around, dummy. So I suggest you pay attention to the insults hurled at you on http://www.matrix-evolutions.com for being such a chicken shit pretender, when what was expected and is still needed is that you be the fearless, out of the night, super hero leader you once promised to be with your tone and style. You have superior talent. You should be able to beat McCain, an ass fucking, military brat, liar. You think his mother was any less a whore than his wives? And mummy owns her Johnny sonny boy next president like Aunt Tillie owns her aging Labrador Retriever. Barak, baby, promise you will take risk quickly, throw Jesus and Pastor Warren and other rabbit foot superstition out of the car, and know, oh last hope of us all, that you have nothing to lose by completely putting your ass on the line. There is no tomorrow for you, or for the rest of us. Put some truth behind your saxophone. Or toss it into the ocean and step aside and make room for Hillary. While there’s still time to repair the huge hole torpedoed into the Democratic Part ship of state, the only Ship of State we have left, because if it goes down, competitive government shifts to the totalitarian, no real opposition, kind, aka, THE END.

    you guys think that he’s worse than Obama. people like you let people die. would you rather kill a murderer or let your old child and people die? i have a feeling this will be deleted. have fun democrats, your the death of this country.

  9. 9 DMW, Tallahassee, FL

    John McCain seems to mispeak and forget things pretty frequently. Is questioning his mental capacity fair game? He is running for president of the United States and leader of the free world, so it appears to be a legitimate question.

    See how he does on this little test:

    WHY ARE THERE SO MANY IGNORANT AMERICANS? We have the biggest slump in AMERICAN HISTORY because these DARN REPUBLICAN’s who are ALL CORRUPT, are using our money to make their CORPERATE “friends” and them some of the richest men in the world. They have no regard for the AMERICAN PEOPLE, they are selfish, and OUT OF DATE. They dont care about the avg person, and I AM SICK OF NOT HAVING CONTROLL.

    STOP
    MCCAIN
    NOW

  11. 11 Lefty

    I just can’t take another four-f years. I’ve had enough, barely surviving the last. Since they (you know who) are playing to the masses, are the majority of the Americans that ignorant? No. They’re (you know who) just good at suppressing honest votes. We just can’t let that happen again. Please no.

  13. 13 JWAT

    I am British so you could say this does not concern me… But the ol’ USA is an extremely powerfull country and it needs to be in the right hands. John Mccains should not hold the USA in his hands, its just common sense. It will change history who ever wins, if that man does - I doubt for the better. No more wars, its time for peace. America dont vote for a man who is a voilent war machine.

    But I bet he puts his hand over his heart when the national anthem plays unlike this guy:

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=N8QCkgg5Kjo&feature=related

    So you’re telling me putting one’s hand over his or her heart when the national anthem is going to help us in our crisis? If it did then why does America still have the problems that it does? You are seriously stupid. Its time to look at REAL American affecting problems not the tit for tat crap.

  18. 18 Shawn

    we would be really insain to elect John McCain as a president, we are suffering right now, where as Bush is minting money, we have lost our jobs right now soon we will loose our house and everything we have if John McCain becomes the president hope everyone understands this..

  19. 19 Im a political girl

    He is going to beat Obama…like a rented mule.

    I get the military channel here in Canada. I must say the number of ads for high-tec wheel chairs and life insurance is the most depressing thing I have ever seen.

    As a Canadian, I proudly displayed signs for Kerry / Edwards on my front lawn in Canada. As many Americans travel by my house to their vacation spots. I wish we had a say as it is unfortunate that the future of our world has been almost distroyed by George Bush. George Bush has shrunk our world, I don’t think I will follow my dream of travelling to Egypt.

    Please tell me what right he had to go against the UN.

    McCain is in favor of the war and if profitable enough for him, Cheny and Bush will continue further wars.What about the rest of the world and what you are doing to us all and what right do you have to invade another country.

    Oil Prices - Well I hate to say it - It is because of the War. No one will ever admit this little secret.

    Please do the world a favor and vote for a democrat.

  21. 21 Immigrant Song

    This site is great. McCain is a democrat posing as a Republican and so many idiots actually bought into it. Even the idea of going into Iraq pre-emptively is a liberal idea hatched by Bill Clinton. Under no circumstance will Amnesty McCain have my vote. He along with this whole new gang of colonio-kooks (that’s a play on the word colonialism)are wrong on just about every possible issue. They are anti-constitution, anti-liberty and anti-American. I mean he supports the Patriot Act for Christ sake, its the most anti-American document out there. Anyone out there who wants ACTUAL conservatism to play a part in this election I urge you to either support Ron Paul or the Libertarian candidate which may likely be Bob Barr.

  22. 22 John Gregory

    What you see happening around you on the face of the earth is the advanced species awakening to identify the atrocities committed by individuals, and their desire to change what they see as being wrong, without being personally accountable.

    That will change.

    There will be Equity.

    Soon.

    My prayer and prophecy: [Continue to] Expose the abominations, Lord.

    Give unto them as they have given unto others.

    Amen.

    So let me get this straight, you don’t care who I vote for, as long as it’s not McCain. Right? What you are saying is that a vote for anyone one this here planet is better than that slimebag McCain. Vote for Huckabee, you could care less, if I want Romney or even that Corvair hater Nader, go get em, but please please please don’t vote for McCain? Is that what you spend all this time and money on?

    Ok, just wanted to clear that up…

  28. 28 VS

    I agree with the sentiment of the site entirely but I actually don’t like this video itself.

    First, I don’t think it is worth it to go after McCain on torture. That is one issue in which he has an upper hand in regards to public perception and I think it will just muddle the rest of the reasons why he shouldn’t be president.

    Second, I would remove the mention of his temper from this film. This film goes through a series of instances where he has changed positions and then seems to throw in his temper as a side note. I think we will all be better served to make a separate film splicing clips of him losing his temper with clips of him calling for escalation in Iraq, bombing of Iran, etc.. Or something to that effect with a consistent theme.

    The rest of my issues are purely aesthetic so I won’t go into them because they are really just based on my personal taste. Otherwise I love the site and what you are doing. I just find this particular video somewhat sloppy.

  29. 29 slowroll

    You’re exactly on the mark with this video. McCain has lost his rudder and is going around in circles.

Dont worry they are from the goverment and are coming only to help you. Terrorist groups such as this must be stopped at once, for the children. I have taken a oath to uphold the constitution and I have decided to send the men to your home search it without warrants, shut this site down at once, and send you to a nice get away at the reprograming camp, all of this to uphold the constitution and protect the children. This decention doesnt help the American people who may learn some truth and it is the goverment job to decide who gets the truth not you. Leaves me and my staff with only one choice, the United States goverment representing the people will drop a necular bomb on yoru house.

    Thanks for this site…..will send link via email to all political buddies and will post link on all political websites. The grand flip-flopper…I never liked him, but kinda respected him for going against the republican weirdo base, but no respect now. How can anyone even consider voting for someone who is so opportunistic, and has no moral certitude? Oh wait, that describes most republican office holders. Power, not integrity is the name of the game.

    The thought of this man becoming president is too frightening to entertain. NO WAY JOHN! NOT NOW! NOT EVER!!

  45. 45 Michael W.

    Thank you for publishing this site. I just hope it isn’t too late to show people what McCain REALLY is ~ and that is not “independent” or “moderate”. He is a dangerous man, perhaps even moreso than GWB.

  46. 46 will estes

    Nice job here, I am always pleased when a Republican comes to the light and sees what life will become if one does not change their thinking.
    Funny how I children and grandchildren bring out the truth in all of us. Blessings to you and yours.

    The video seems accurate to me – McCain is not my kind of politician and I certainly do NOT want him to ever be President. No John.

  50. 50 Bruce B

    This should be required viewing for all voters!

  51. 51 Sandy Thomas

    Thanks for the video its great, the thought of having this angry neocon in the White house is more than scary.

  52. 52 hendrix was a paratrooper

    Well executed. Thank you!

  53. 53 Cheryl

    Thank you for doing this.

  54. 54 Ron

    While I support your site, the images of torture in the morphing video are dishonest when you associate them with Sen McCain. He has repeatedly denounced torture and he has been an victim of torture by the Vietnamese. To tie him to the Bush policy on this is simply dishonest.

    Take him to task on everything else but keep it accurate.

  55. 55 Shel Weisel

    Thanks. The thought of four more years of Bush, and make no mistake, John McCain is another Bush, is frightening.

    Thanks for this site.
