Obama or McCain: Who's in touch with the people?

[thursdaysrecords]

What's clear is that John McCain and Sarah Palin would rather spend their time tearing down Barack Obama than laying out a plan to build up our economy.

Another reason why 2008 just ian't the Republicans' year!

[dynamitemike65]

I am a hardcore conservative republican and couldn't agree more with your statement.

They even wanted to bring up Rev. Wright in the last week of the election, unbelievable.

[Robert8smith]

Bush had a C average in school. He really screwed up America. McCain was part of the lowest 5% of graduates at the Naval academy. If you were getting a brain operation would you not want a brain surgeon that graduated in top 5% of his class ? BTW, voting machines are rigged....

[dynamitemike65]

Really what school, Oh that's right Harvard, then after he graduated he went to Yale to get his Masters.

McCain went to the Naval Academy where you have to be in the upper 10% of your High School graduating class to apply. So I would have to say that a person who graduates in the lowest 5% would be around the upper 25% of most major colleges.

If you truly think the voting machines were rigged then they were equaled out by ACORN.

[sniper2535]

Mccains going to win.

[nonqoqo]

OBAMAAAAAAAAAAAA

[Jackson19862008]

*Republican*

[Jackson19862008]

mccane gets elected, im moving to canada, away from the united states of reublicans.

[thursdaysrecords]

The guy in the video who looks like Dick Cheney forgot to bring his hooded sheets.

[thursdaysrecords]

Obama may or may not get us out of the crapper, but if McCain gets elected, we micht as well just flush.

[thursdaysrecords]

The average American college graduate is more intelligent than George Bush and also more intelligent than John McCain. Time to bring back brains to the White House! Retarded guys don't cut it!

The man in the video who defends McCain's ignorance regarding how many homes he owns should be ashamed of himself for calling such failure "understandable". Enabling a failure is not helping anyone!

McCain is dangerous. McCain is out of touch. McCain is an extension of the Bush administration.

[thursdaysrecords]

Liars need excellent memory, otherwise they trip up frequently. Both McCain and Palin have tripped up many times. Their problem is that low IQ usually comes with poor memory.

Hillary supporters have completely different views than the ultra-conservative Palin. To suggest that women will vote for McCain/Palin on the sole point of gender is insulting all women.

2008 is not the year for right wing extremism running on an anti-women, anti-gay platform. That's why McCain/Palin have no chance.

[badsimia]

He speaks comfortably because he is a good speaker. Do you think that if he was told to speak about something he disagreed with, that he would stumble over his words? He is a politician, and a politician is hired by a party to get elected, nothing more.

Name one issue that actually matters where Obama and McCain disagree. I'll tell you where they agree- They are both going to drastically increase the size of the government and continue to project American military might overseas.

[thursdaysrecords]

If you honestly have the worries as you claim in your second paragraph, then Obama is the better guy to vote for. Since I know you're just arguing for argument's sake, you won't admit that Obama is a man for the people, while McCain is the puppet of big business (like Bush has been for 8 years, and his Daddy before him.)

Palin is a pathetic bubble-brain with insufficient credentials. McCain picked her for the wrong reasons, just like he changed all of his positions to kiss right wing asses.

[badsimia]

No one with enough resources and enough influence to be a major candidate can ever be a "man of the people".  Men of the people are decent human beings, a quality that will get you nowhere in politics.

[thursdaysrecords]

To be a sincere servant of the people is not asking too much, and it's a reasonable goal for a presidential candidate. Roosevelt, Kennedy, Clinton lived up to that standard. They also had the intelligence and the vision to improve life for all Americans.

Neither Bush had the above qualities, they serve self and their cronies before anyone else. McCain is just like them.

Please don't go into "infidelity" babble, because that's the lamest excuse for the Bush failures, and desperate, too!

[badsimia]

Roosevelt dramatically expanded the welfare state and the size and scope of the government with his idiotic New Deal. Kennedy? He happened to be President when the Civil Rights Movement occurred. What about the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis? He too, greatly expanded government power.

And I liked Clinton. He was more conservative than Bush is, definitely. But he was not a "man of the people". And the government still grew under him.

[thursdaysrecords]

"Roosevelt dramatically expanded the welfare state and the size and scope of the government with his idiotic New Deal."

Yes, I know Nixon or either Bush would have told the straving masses who lost their jobs to "suck it up" and stop wining.

That's the difference between trickle down (aka "piss on you!") and getting Americans back on their feet. Corporate welfare is the GOP way, helping struggling Americans is the way of Demorats.

Right now America is sick and tired of the ME ME ME GOP!

[badsimia]

Bullshit. George Bush and all the other neo-cons are just as bad as the Democrats. George Bush doubled the size of the Department of Education in 2006. He massively increased the Medicare program in 2003, the largest increase in the history of Medicare. Social programs have grown more dramatically in George Bush's administration than in any other previous one.

It would be wrong to call Bush a shame to conservatism, because he is just plain NOT a conservative.

[thursdaysrecords]

I don't believe any woman should ever be FORCED to have an abotion. I also believe that no woman should ever be FORCED not to have an abortion. FORCE vs. CHOICE is a no-brainer for me.

I vote for women's rights. I vote for equality. I vote for the hard working middle class Americans. I vote Obama/Biden.

[badsimia]

Well I don't see what abortion has to do with what we were talking about. And you second paragraph... haha. You are really practicing your meaningless Obama rhetoric, aren't you?

[thursdaysrecords]

You look like a Dick...Cheny. Stop the spin, YouTubers aren't as stupid as the average Republican, so forget your push-poll tactics, we're above your propganda crap!

[badsimia]

The pro-life stance is for choice also. We think that a woman has a choice about whether or not to have sex. What, you don't? And of course, in the case of rape, or if the mother's life is in danger, abortion is legal. It was before Roe vs. Wade, it would still be.

Women use abortion as birth control, and it has contributed greatly to the decline of the American family.

[thursdaysrecords]

How can a man who is unaware of his own obscene wealth consider himself "in touch" with the problems of the American People?

The man in the video who defends McCain's ignorance regarding how many homes he owns should be ashamed of himself for calling such failure "understandable". Enabling a failure is not helping anyone!

McCain is dangerous. McCain is out of touch. McCain is an extension of the Bush administration.

Obama in November! It's not only the best way, it's the only way!

[badsimia]

lol because obama isn't gonna do the exact same thing as mccain, right?

[thursdaysrecords]

Was this a comment, a question or what? Your message makes no sense in any context. Please use complete sentenses and a clear thought!

John MCCain is dangerous. He has no ideas of his own, he says what he thinks you want to hear.

Obama is comfortable speaking, because he believes what he says. He doesn't have to "carefully phrase" his responses in order to be accepted by his audience.

Obama cares for the American People, McCain only for himself and his filthy rich cronies. Like Bush!

[imbologna]

I understand that McCain had to move pretty far away from his core values in order to be accepted by the fundamentalists, but I hope that if he does get elected that he returns to them. Republicans didnt elect him the first time because he had a mind of his own. He even spoke out for womens rights. You just will not be nominated by either party based on common sense.

I wont be voting for him, but if he wins, I hope he remembers what he really stands for.

[Devilsnightforlife]

Im for Obama, sure thing.

But McCain has a way cooler name than Obama :P John McCain closely resemble John McClane - and we know who that is, die hard - while Obama's name unfortunately closely resemble Osama - and we pretty much also know who he is, terrorist.

Luckily its not the name that does the difference.

[CANIBUSISTHEGREATEST]

Only RALPH NADER is sincerely in touch with the poor and middle class in America literally and you will find this out for yourself only if you VOTE for and rally up more than enough VOTES for RALPH NADER to be the next American president for the next 8 years intelligently,you feel me?

[C8TON]

[lukehol14]

Im not from america, but i personally think Obama should win... He doesn't look as disgusting and evil as the rest of them, cant wait for george bush to step down, maybe the nwo plans might crumble *Hoho!*

[redibeaver]

Repugnikans are hoping McCain will win, then croak and BitchOnWheels will take over and give Alaska to the oil companies without any argument. Women are the GOP's Bitches and sooner or later they kick 'em all to the curb! Ironic? NO. Oil OWNS us and our future! NO VOTE FOR OLDMAN McCAIN!!! He'll belly up!!

[M3T4LH34D812]

Hmm, decisions, decisions, and old white man and a woman, or an old white man and a non old white man..err a non white old...nope still wrong,err...a young handsome intelligent articulate politically correct hyphenated-American...Let the Elections (no giggling) BEGIN!!!

[vmvigilante]

The men and women who serve in our battlefields may be Democrats and Republicans and Independents, but they have fought together and bled together and some died together under the same proud flag. They have not served a Red America or a Blue America, they have served the United States of America.

[lukehol14]

Proud flag? pfft as if, take a real look at your country and its government...

[des10791]

obama has this in the bag!!!!!!!!

obama08

[idgirl97]

Neither one is in touch. They're both rich assholes who'll forget the common people as soon as they get into office. This is totally a contest between a douchebag and a turd sandwich... as South Park so brilliantly put it in perspective.

[babiigurl241]

501 views cuz this video is propaganda

[tlndofa]

its nice to go fly fishing instead of talking about the price to pay.just a hook i see, but your all so hungry for the bait...flow upstream has changed course..whats best counts,as ether way said.

[OmarThePug]

you have to be utterly brain dead to vote for either! Its just a dog and pony show.

[Jessiqua42]

:(  Propaganda.

[dingorex]

They are both in touch as much as a Senator can be, but policies and proposals trump any perceived or unperceived superficial connection with the great unwashed.

[Cubicleboy04]

That was a well balanced video. Refreshing. Well done!

[GirlyVoice]

They picked much smarter Americans this time! The last video was embarrassing.

[oilhammer04]

Maybe McCain isn't focused on wealth.

[billrah]

At last a video that represents both sides of the story.
