John McCain's campaign is calling the media out for something anyone with half a brain, ear and eye knows already - that the press loves Barack Obama.
The campaign just issued a short but sweet note to supporters saying:
"It's pretty obvious that the media has a bizarre fascination with Barack Obama. Some may even say it's a love affair. We want you to be the judge. We've compiled two videos of the more outrageous moments of this not so secret love affair. Follow this link to watch the two videos and vote on which one you think is better. Your vote will determine which video we put on the air.
"The media is in love with Barack Obama. If it wasn't so serious, it would be funny. "
Now on McCain's Web site, You can vote for which video song you think best portrays the media's devotion to Obama.
The first video is played to the tune of Frankie Valli's "Can't Take My Eyes Off You," the second to Vallie's "My Eyes Adored You." Both montages include snippets (mostly of MSNBC clips) of Chris Matthews saying Obama caused a "thrill" to go up his leg and NBC News' Lee Cowan saying, "it's almost hard to remain objective because it's infectious," among other examples of Obama love. As of 11:43 a.m., video and song #1 has the lead, 81%-19%. Seems like people are flocking to the site to vote soon after the campaign's e-mail went out.

Lets see my choice is John McCain or Barack Obama?
John McCain who says the economic downturn is psychological? - Na! I'll vote for the smart black man.
McCain who says you are better off under George Bush? - Nope I'll vote for the smart black man.
Mc Cain who wants to continue killing more people looking for weapons of mass destruction that do not exist? - Gee! I'll vote for the smart black man.
Should I vote for a man that does not know that 9-11 was caused by Osama Bin Laden not Sedam Hussein? - Easy! I'll vote for the smart black man.
Vote for the man who does not know if the Sunnis or Sheits are our enemies? - No way I'll vote for the smart black man.
Vote for the man who helped put our government on the China, Saudi Arabia credit card? - Not a chance I'll vote for the smart black man.
Vote for the man who wants a right-wing Supreme Court? - I'll take a chance on the smart black man.
Vote for the man with the worst temper in the Senate to have his finger on the nuclear button? No way - I'll vote for the smart black man.

John McCain the great American genius war hero has been in the senate for over 26 years.
Barack Hussein Obama is a black first term senator with a funny Arabic name.
Hillary has all that experience and that great honorable AMERICAN name.
Why the hell is McCain, the best that the Republican Party could do, not wiping this inexperienced black kids butt?
Maybe the American people are sick of politics as usual?

Its strange that the Obama supporters state facts and the GOP states racism, lies, and innuendos. Do you ever wonder why so many people are supporting Barack Hussein Obama?
Could it be that this nation is becoming colorblind and does not care if a good person is black, white, red or tan?
Could it be that the American people don’t care if a person worships as a Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu, or Jew?
Could it be that people remember the scandals of the Clinton And Bush years?
Could it be that the American people know that if it was not for the Clinton’s filth and scandals that Al Gore would be completing his second term in office.
Could it be that the American people remember Bush and McCain looking into our eyes and saying, believe me there are weapons of mass destruction?
Could it be that the American people are shell shocked that over 4,000 precious lives have been lost fighting the wrong war in the wrong country against the wrong enemy?
Could it be that the American people realize that Carl Rove politics brought our nation to where it is today?

John McCain has been to Iraq 8 times to Obamas 2 and yet we are seeing more shots of him there than we have ever seen McCain there. The media finds it very hard to admit that John McCain is more in tune with this war and how to win it. As for choices - choices - choices, he/she is obviously swept off their feet as well by this portrayal of a "smart" black man. When John McCain was a prisoner of war in North Vitnam, Barack was in hawaii smoking weed with his buddies. Where do you go to find the real TRUTHS. Obama isn't that smart or he would agree to sit down and debate with McCain. I think he is just affraid that he will choke when he doesn't have a controled speech prepared to sweep YOU and the media off of their feet. McCain 08 - it is the only way to save our country, from economic crisis, from immediate energy independence and from worrying who the Iranian prime Minister feels the best candidate is for HIS best interest. THIS IS AMERICA!!!!

LOL @ Chris Matthews and the warm feeling running up and down his leg (Matthews is old enough to know what that feeling really is) and then he says: "I don't get that feeling very often!" Yeah Chris.... I wonder why?

“Would everyone --- military, Iraqis and Americans --- all be talking about timetable if the surge had not happened, and not been successful?
Now --- with increasing success --- supporting a time table seems wise --- but what if there had been no surge?
And don’t forget that Junior Senator Obama was opposed to the surge but now cleverly is in position to take credit for the timetable discussion.
Obama’s campaign is clever — taking the surge and using it now to their advantage. This is just like a good trial lawyer. Junior Senator Obama is getting great media coverage and credit back here in the United States. Most (all?) are euphoric at the thought of getting out.”
Would someone out there tell me WHY this trip means anything to the general election, besides getting Obama more free publicity?
Tell me how this gives him experience to deal with our allies/enemies?
I am all ears, pun intended, but unlike your candidate, I can be swayed to change my opinion if given a compelling enough reason.
Obama stated his stance of the war on terror innumerous times in his short time in the Senate and during his campaign for the democratic nomination. He still is sticking by those stances, though, slowly changing them one at a time.
Obama must explain why he has changed any of his stances.
McCain has been accused of being the biggest ” flip-flopper “ --- the thing is: McCain “explains” --- Obama “complains” (or might I say ‘whines’).
I’m voting for John McCain in November.

Nobama is at it again. He is so "inexperienced" --- he doesn't have a clue. Yet, we want him for President of the United States, yeah, right! NOT!
==================================
Junior Senator Obama said, "these are the people I'll be dealing with for the next 8 to 10 years." OMG --- This is like him saying he has visited 57 states!
Obama does not know how many states are in the union, or how long a Presidential term is, or how many terms a President is limited to.
The boy is a moron. What else is new?

Obama's good looking and speaks beautifully, but that's all he's got. As for education, well, he thought there are 57 states in the US, Canada has a president, etc.; and intelligent eight-grader knows better. Experience--lacking. Principles--non existent. Racism/antisemitism--yes; Obama's a racist and antisemite all right. I'll go for the less physically attractive candidate with experience, common sense and integrity.

Someone just sent me this link to a comprehensive video covering Barack Obama. In it...is a complete history of where he came from, what he thinks, things he's said (in his OWN voice) and I'm sure he hoped that they would be lost and forgotten forever, but someone has captured them and put them on this shocking video for all to see and hear. It is called "Connect The Dots."Please watch and listen to this video and share it with others. It is the only way we can wake people up in time and try and stop this "Changeling" from overtaking the White House in November.God help us all...!!!http://www.eyeblast.tv/Public/Video.aspx?rsrcID=2036

AMERICAN ESCAPISM
Well friends have you seen the latest Batman, Ironman, X-Men, Shadow or any of the other Comic Strip Super Hero’s who are now on the Movie Screens or have been near you?
Now, don’t be shy, millions of your fellow Americans are looking for the true way to Escape the American Nightly Nightmare, from talking heads on (MSNBC or FOX) if Bill O’Reilly is going to be number (1 thru 3) of the Worse Persons in the World, as so designated by another (NYC) New York City teleprompter reading over paid media excuse for a reporter. Or, going to the Inter-Net to be faced with the same bias so called bloggers. Like Tommy Christopher or Others with there pushing of an agenda.
So, were are we going and what are we doing to escape the (NYC) New York City and Washington, D.C. nit wits? The Soaps where were waiting to see who is going to be who’s next husband and who is going to be who’s next wife, the musical country dance of change your partner and grab her ……………. By the hand. Were viewer’s still have a say in something, as if the rich back guy’s wife doesn’t fit the mold to meet expectations its off she goes, and the writers pay attention.
Or, we look for the man that is so bad he’s good, like the new “Canadian” Program Burn Notice, the guy who burns the rule book to get back what was his, but is so bad he’s the good guy playing now against a Skin Job from another “Canadian” Program “Battle Star Galactia”. , a guy from a dysfunctional family, not the prefect kid, with the perfect back ground and not in (NYC) New York City. Or, another “Canadian” Program, Pushing Up Daisies”, or “Star Gate Atlantis” were Canadians were the Red, White, and Blue fighting the bad guys.
Or, we go to the Brits on (BBC) for “Torchwood” and Captain Jack Harkness a “Canadian” or his mentor “The Doctor” of Dr. Who, or Robin Hood or many of the other’s were a difference is made by the Good Guy. The Average Joe, the Smuck, the not so type “A” personality. Or, DANCING WITH THE STARS, another (BBC) production.
The point is were all just sick and tired of (NYC) New York City, and Washington, D. C., and the better than thou view of not only the rest of the Untied States but of the World, and Americans are escaping view “Canada and the UK”, we just don’t want to hear it anymore. Democratic and Republicans so what? Hillary and Obama so what? Obama and McCain so what? (MSNBC and FOX) so what?
BATMAN, SUPERMAN (TRUTH, JUSTICE AND THE AMERICAN WAY), SPIDER MAN, THE SHADOW (WHO KNOW WHAT EVIL LERKS IN THE HEARTS OF MEN THE SHADOW KNOWS) THE X-MEN, WHO SHOT JR? Any day over (NYC) New York City, Washington, D. C., and the media talking heads on and off line.

I am livid regarding the anti-American comments made by the Junior Senator Barack Hussein Obama and Hanoi John Kerry.
The surge did work --- and is working!
Our troops have performed flawlessly and, as usual, the Democrats demean the job they have done.
I hope our troops are not discouraged because I am proud of each and every one of them and I wish I could give each of them a hug and say “I AM SO PROUD OF YOU".
Please remember these comments when you go to vote in November.

I am voting for McCain --- not just because of his many years of experience and past heroism --- but because he's the candidate who makes the most sense.
Gramm's comment was kinda right up there with "national malaise", "vast right-wing conspiracy" and "God Damn America!"
Obama's actions yesterday should be condemned by other members of congress, just as former President Carter's actions in Palestine earlier this year were condemned by congressional members.
Obama is not the President and he is on a taxpayer funded fact-finding mission. Senator Obama's actions in Iraq yesterday clearly demonstrated his use of this trip for political purposes; the military should immediately pull funding for the trip and charge the Obama campaign for the millions of dollars that this overseas farce is costing.

REALITY CHECK
2:57PM Jul 23rd 2008
The DNC and biased media "selected" Barack Hussein Obama --- he was NOT "elected" by the people.
Senator McCain is in his seventies - for a statesman, he's at his peak.
Junior Senator Obama is in his forties - for a statesman, he's just a greenhorn. (BO people: look up the definition of "statesman" before you reply to this comment).
McCain has given FIFTY YEARS of service to the United States before he was selected by his party to run for the Presidency.
Obama gave only 140 days of service to the United States before he declared his candidacy. I’m still am unsure how he was “selected”.
And now for something entirely different:
CONGRESS is the vehicle for change in this country, NOT the presidency.
When Bill Clinton was running for the first time and was calling for change, the Republicans had control of Congress.
Well NOW it’s a Democratic Congress and this Congress has done NOTHING to curb oil price rises, stem job losses, stimulate the economy, ensure proper medical coverage, and stop Social Security bankruptcy.
This Democratic majority may not be large enough to make a Bill veto-proof, or for that matter, filibuster-proof, but, they have NOT passed on a meaningful piece of legislation to the President for his affirmation or veto. IF THEY HAD, we'd have a right to blame everything on the President, or at minimum, on the Republicans.
Obama's crying for hope and change. He’s “hoping” we won’t notice how often he “changes” his mind.
Obama’s foreign policy experience is equal to his bowling talents --- NONE. It scares the bajesus out of me thinking this guy may make world affair decisions.
My caution is: be careful who you vote for.
Its time for Pelosi, Reid and Dean to go ! ! ! They are destroying the Democratic Party and AMERICA.
