McCain slams Obama as deceptive, inexperienced
Columbus, OH — Taking dead aim at the Democratic frontrunner, Sen. John McCain rebuked Barack Obama as an “inexperienced candidate” who is making empty promises to the American people of a “holiday from history.”
“Will we make the right changes…or will we heed the appeals for change that ignore the lessons of history and lack confidence in the intelligence and ideals of free people?” McCain said before about 500 supporters after declaring victory Tuesday in the Wisconsin Primary. “I will fight every moment of every day in this campaign to make sure Americans are not deceived by an eloquent but empty call for change….that promises no more than a holiday from history and return to the false promises and failed policies of a tired philosophy that trusts in government more than the people.”

The truth hurts. NOT!
It was an excellent speech, but I think McCain may be jumping the gun going after Obama. Hitlery will not go down without a fight.
Unless his aim is to help Hitlery, thinking she’d be an easier opponent.
If we wait any longer, it could be too late. It’s time to put the brakes on the Obama express.
I don’t know- after tonight- and the amazing rise of Obama in the polls in Texas...I think McCain’s strategy is right on target.
**thinking she’d be an easier opponent.**
I’ve thought about that scenario too.
McCain is 50-60 percent conservative, while Obama’s staff hang Che Guevara flags. I think its obvious what conservatives should be doing right now, but it seems too many freepers are listening to Ann Coulter.
Being all nicey-nicey just aint gonna cut it, when dealing with the sort who cut of Daniel Pearl's head.
I do not believe that he is doing the most correct thing by addressing the opposition.
Except in the most general terms, it has no advantage other than to be a feel good exercise.
Obama will deflate after the primaries are over, given that he gets that far..
McCain is 50-60 percent conservative, while Obama’s staff hang Che Guevara flags. I think its obvious what conservatives should be doing right now, but it seems too many freepers are listening to Ann Coulter.
The choice between McCain and Obama is like choosing between Trotsky and Stalin.
To call McCain a “conservative” is like calling Jimmy Carter a “moderate”.
Darn, he gives a speech and they swoon ... were have we heard this before???
I think that is the strategy.
And it's good practice anyway in case he ends up facing Obama.
That is not a slam.
That is fact jack.
Obama is very deceptive.
This whole plagarism needs to be brought up again during the general election... but not just his plagiarism of Deval Patrick, but also his plagiarism of MALCOLM X.
“They’re trying to bamboozle you. It’s the same old okie-doke. Y’all know about okie doke, right? ... They try to bamboozle you. Hoodwink ya. Try to hoodwink ya.”
— Barack Obama
“You’ve been hoodwinked. You’ve been had. You’ve been took. You’ve been led astray, led amok. You’ve been bamboozled.”
— Malcolm X
Wow! The Animated Turd versus the Popcorn Fart....whata show!
I also thought it a good speech. I particularly liked his descriptions of the Islamofascists.
I think the only other "message" we are hearing is that Obama is for change and that his wife hates America. I think it was appropriate the McCain (and Mrs McCain)are attacking both Obamas.
I think it is over for Hildabeast, though I was frankly hoping to see the rat party implode in internecine warfare.
Indeed.
McCain wasn’t my first choice, and I know there’s still a lot of grumbling on here, but he may well be our best possible candidate this cycle. We’re in sort of the same situation as France was in with a deeply unpopular Chirac. Despite this, someone from Chirac’s own party won big, because he was able to separate himself from both Chirac and the rest of the party in important key ways. McCain can do the same here.
Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

Guess who’s been funding John McCain?
Since 2001, the year President Bush took office, Senator McCain’s Reform Institute has received funding from the Far Left billionaire George Soros and his Open Society Institute. Soros once compared President Bush to the Nazis. McCain’s organization has also received funding from Teresa Heinz Kerry’s Tides Foundation. In 2004, McCain seriously considered becoming John Kerry’s running mate.
In July 2001, the Reform Institute listed Senator McCain as the chairman of its advisory committee. Several staffers on his 2000 Presidential campaign found jobs at the Institute before rejoining McCain for his 2008 campaign. Also on the advisory committee of the Reform Institute since its birth in 2001 is the ultraliberal writer and website operator Ariana Huffington of Huffington Post.
Soros has also funded the Far Left character assassination websites MoveOn.org (which ran an ad contest for ads to oppose President Bush and posted two on its website that called the President a Nazi), Media Matters for America (also funded by a large grant from the Clintons), and other such organizations. He was a large contributor to Senator John Edwards. MoveOn.org has accused American Jews of having dual loyalties.
One of the directors of Soros’s Open Society Institute is Morton Halperin, a leftist formerly associated with the Institute for Policy Studies, an organization the U.S. government officially identified as a Communist front.
Why is a Republican Senator and Presidential candidate accepting funding from a hate-mongering, anti-American smear merchant like Soros?
Soros likes to throw the charge of being a Nazi at his opponents and likes to describe himself as a Holocaust survivor. But he admitted in his book that as a 14-year-old boy he went around in occupied Hungary fingering the local Jews for the Nazi occupiers. In other words, he is by his own admission a Nazi collaborator. As David Horowitz and Richard Poe wrote in their book The Shadow Party: How George Soros, Hillary Clinton, and Sixties Radicals Seized Control of the Democratic Party, Soros “survived [the Holocaust] by assimilating to Nazism.”
Soros was also an associate of the late Francois Genoud, who met with the Grand Mufti on direct instructions of Hitler and who was the keeper of the Nazi fortune after World War II.
If we can expel little people like John Demjanjuk from our country for their forced service in the armed forces of the Nazis, why can’t we denaturalize Soros for his willing service to them and send him back where he came from?
McCain should be ashamed of this funding. Although he has severed his formal connections with the Reform Institute, he should publicly condemn Soros and formally call on the Reform Institute to return the money. It is about the most tainted money you can get.
“McCain is 50-60 percent conservative, while Obama’s staff hang Che Guevara flags. I think its obvious what conservatives should be doing right now, but it seems too many freepers are listening to Ann Coulter.”
Please elucidate! 50-60% conservative??? Really? Please explain where he is even 10% conservative. McCain is funded by George Soros and is Soros lapdog. Soros hates the U.S. and McCain hates the Constitution. They are a great pair and will no doubt enjoy destroying America.
I’d rather have a “che Guevara flag” flying in one campaign headquarters, than one Juan Hernandez directing McCain’s Hispanic outreach!
Considering the fact that Obama looks like he is down 3 weeks before many primaries and then suddenly takes the lead about a week before and wins victory......
I think Hillary will not be the nominee. I am surprised. I did not think Obama could pull it off.
But, I don’t know how he can lose at this point......things just keep breaking his way.

While I respect and admire Sen. John McCain’s military career, I wouldn’t vote for him if voting were mandatory and his name were the only one on the ballot.
He votes like a Democrat on all the critical issues.
“Hi, I’m John McCain. I’m not a Republican, but I play one on TV.”
He opposed the Bush tax cuts, voted against them twice, not (as he now claims) because there were no spending cuts attached, but on the same class warfare grounds that the Democrats use. (The Congressional Record establishes this clearly.)
He co-wrote and co-sponsored the worst restriction on free speech in this country since the Alien and Sedition Acts.
He said publicly he would not appoint judges like Alito. (Remember, it was Republicans who gave us Stevens and Souter and earlier, Blackmun, Warren, Brennan, and the like.)
He is co-sponsoring a bogus “global warming” bill that would shut down American industry.
He co-sponsored amnesty. Even though he says he’s never supported amnesty, a search of the Congressional Record shows that he was explicitly for amnesty back when it was still called amnesty.
He’s for closing Guantanamo and bringing the terrorists into our country.
He flat-out lied about Romney supporting timetables. Romney said he would veto timetables.
Then, of course, there is the Keating Five. McCain is a person of low character and can’t be trusted. Why would anyone support him?
He’s unacceptable and would destroy what’s left of conservatism and of the GOP.
Obama is the cult of personality.
Empty suit Chicago politician is close enough. The folks who will pull his string if he hits the jackpot are the guys who fit your description.
I should have used quotes for the 50-60 percent fact. Michael Savage explained it a couple weeks ago based on his recent votes in the senate and his NRA record. It was posted on his website but now its gone.
Now you've gone and rattled the Mccainacs cage.
Presidental elections have become fiascos of negativity and scandal, ESPECIALLY for Republicans. A Republican can count on at least 25% of their staff being indicted, with at least 10% imprisioned just for doing their regular job. Even the liberal show “West Wing” demostrated how this works.
We will never, ever find a good, perfect candidate again. They simply won’t run, since most Republicans have too much common sense; i.e. Powell, Rice, Gingrich, etc. Liberals assume, correctly, that they will receive a pass for their flaws from the press; i.e. the obviously corrupt and personnaly flawed Clintons.
We have to go for what we have available. If the deeply flaw McCain is what is presented, then we must morally support him. The unborn, and the fate of liberty dicate this outcome, no matter what we may wish for. I am quite certain that Jefferson and other founders, who were pragmatists, would agree with this.
Dittos
McCain needs to go one step further and pass legislation now, while he is still a Senator to repeal the anti-1st amendment legislation, McCain/Feingold, of which Soros was the main beneficiary. McCain sold him the Democratic Party who is now beholden to Soros radical anti-American agenda!
John McCain has betrayed his country and its Constitution by taking money from George Soros to pass this unConstitutional legislation. It proves McCain will sell us out for $$$. That should scare the ‘you know what’ out of every American, let alone conservatives.
Save it for the general, General. Let him knock Hillary out first. I want those people gone from public life and private death.
“But, I don’t know how he can lose at this point......things just keep breaking his way.”
The Devil takes care of his own.
Go support Che’ osama, blonde. You have to work with what your have.
I can imagine McCain vs. Clinton in a debate. Down and dirty mean spirited nasty. She's so desperate and grasping. Is she going to show up "pretty in pink" or in commando style pantsuit?
But, McCain stood defiant to his subhuman vicious Viet Cong captors and they did not break his spirit. I don't think standing up to Hillary's witchy ice cold stare, frequent head bobbing, twitching shoulder shrugging, nerve wracking cackles and venomous screeching blithering would put a dent in his armor.
Although, I rather see Obama debate McCain and not have to face the prospect of the same old scandalous reprehensible reckless and negligent Clinton president, and this woman, is ordained by herself to lead us into misery and despair. Her voice coming from her fish mouth is enough to give me a major headache.
yeah, they are All NOT experienced.

Recent votes in the Senate? What McCain/Kennedy amnesty or the unbelievably expensive McCain/Leiberman Kyoto Protocol Act?
NRA record!!! My heavens, Savage said that???
McCain/Leiberman Gun Show Control Bill was a direct assault on gun owners and the 2nd amendment. He ran ads for the Americans for Gun Safety, another Soros funded group. One of the largest 2nd amendment groups, Gun Owners of America, has denounced McCain and will not support him!
I wouldn’t vote for John McCain if he was running for dog-catcher!
Obama could say the same thing about McLaim..
However to Obama supporters thats a PLUS..
Oprah has American women flummoxed as they usually are.. only worse..
The weasle McLaim has nerve to call anyone deceptive..
The main Weasle with his weasilly ways is a Pole CAt..
You may believe that you are under some obligation to vote for McCain. I owe him nothing but thanks for his military service. Other than that he and his rabid fans can kiss the very fattest part of my ass. Thanks!
I'm not crazy about McCain either, but that is an idiotic statement.
He's been easily rolled by the Rats in the Senate on some issues. That we all know.
But he hasn't been rolled on every issue we see as critical, and for me, the most critical is the war, and winning it.
You know damn well Jimmy Carter would have surrendered before noon on 9-11. Obama will have us declare defeat and leave the field to the enemy. Hillary will stick her finger in the wind and do nothing decisive.
God knows that McCain has turned me off so many times over the last 10 years with his phony DC bipartisan sthick, but I still think the guy will face head on the most dangerous threat we face -- the Islamo Nazis.
Just my opinion, but I am bothered by some of the overblown rhetoric here such as the Trotsky / Stalin bit.
That's just nuts. I hate the choice, but in the end, I'll hold my nose and vote for McCain. That's the reality.
sort of along the lines of “old age and treachery beats youth and treachery every time”?
McCain needs to learn from Hillary and her extremely flawed campaign run. (And she wants to run the country? Can she even spell Bush?) Talk to the people. Spare us the attacks. Especially at this point of the game.
Obama is going to bring a liberal hell we have never even imagined
Why you ask? He would actually be able to push through liberal legislation through a Dem Congress the likes of which Bill Clinton could not even accomplish between 1993-1995
The military will be gutted, we will pull out of Iraq in the worst way, AQ will rebound in Iraq, and socialized medicine will be here
This man must not become POTUS
Yeah, because president Obama would be so much better on gun issues...wait I have to stop now, I’m laughing too hard to type.
“Go support Che’ osama, blonde. You have to work with what your have.”
Maybe you should vote Obama, because demeaning other people when you don’t have a respectable argument is usually the strategy of libs.
Is McCain an idiot or is his speechwriter? This is full of ambiguity, waiting to be interpreted the wrong way. Besides the fact that McCain is more of the same.
