A prominent liberal radio jock called McCain a warmonger. McCain said that was untrue and compelled Obama to denounce the remark. Obama did disagree with the remark, but did not denounce it. Still, I was amazed that Obama would say he disagrees with the remark.

This is unreal. McCain debates more civilly with Obama than Clinton does.

Even though I will give McCain credit for saying that Obama is qualified to be president when Clinton may say otherwise, it sounds like a political stunt to try and gain favor as being more mature than Clinton.

I am sure if McCain and Obama run against each other McCain will use the same critisisms of Obama by calling him inexperienced and the same unqualifying critism as Clinton. McCain he wouldn't call him unqualified, but he would imply it with his comments.

we have already seen the type of attacks that will be directed toward obama. they will not stop, but intensify if obama becomes the nominee, and they have nothing to do with mcCain or clinton

I don't think McCain will even come close to what Clinton will do to him. The one thing i do like about Obama and McCain is they seem to be committed to the no mudslinging campaign.I mean come on, we all know, there is nothing to dirty or low for a Clinton to do to win. They like the Win at any cost strategy.

Mccain and Obama can not be gentlemen becuase there are politique opponent. how can anybod y campagne for President an d be gentlemen t o his opponent. you can not be nice candidate and aspect t o win. only one personne can win an d Hillary, she are worst personne of all.

Mccain an d Obama are different personne. Mccain say he want t o keep Irak war for 100 years. he want t o further Bush politique. this are not good for U.S. or the world. Obama want t o end the war and work for peace i n the world.

so how can there be gentlemen t o one anothre?

You're definitely not drawing upon the facts of American politics when you make statements like the above.

I can give you some good examples of dirty politics:

• People in favor of Bush said McCain was brainwashed by the Vietnamese, that his adopted daughter was the daughter of an extra-marital affair, they said nasty things about his wife too
  
  
• People against Kerry said that he had shot himself to get his medals in Vietnam
  
  
• Mitt Romney has interchangeably used Osama and Obama
  
  
• Bill Clinton tried to marginalize Obama as the black candidate
  
  
• Hillary has repeatedly lied about Obama and lied in her own favor throughout the campaign
  
  
• In 2006, racial fears by whites were stoked by people who opposed a biracial politician
  
  
• Early in the 19th century there was dirty politics too:

  Quote:

  Perhaps one of the most venomous elections was in 1828, when John Quincy Adams was running for President against General Andrew Jackson. According the same BBC news article, Adams was "nicknamed 'The Pimp' by the campaign of his opponent…based on a rumour that he had once coerced a young woman into an affair with a Russian nobleman when he had been American ambassador to Russia." In response, Adams' supporters came out with a pamphlet which read: "General Jackson's mother was a common prostitute brought to this country by British solders! She afterwards married a mulatto man with whom she had several children of which number General Jackson is one!!"

You rushed towards a conclusion without examining the facts.
