he will say and do anything to get elected
You’re right, McShame’s Charges Against Obama are Baseless and Lacks Evidence.
Each day brings a desperate new set of attacks.
And they’re not just attacking Obama. They’re attacking you.
They’re mocking the desire of millions of Americans to step up and take ownership of the political process.
They’re trying to convince you that your enthusiasm won’t amount to anything — that the people you persuade, the phone calls you make, the donations you give, the doors you knock on are all an illusion. They believe that in this election the same old smears and negative attacks will prevail again.
Don’t listen, stick to your guns, you know the truth.
hes old. maybe he just forgets
that’s like asking why does Obama lies about things McCain does. Its called politics and mudslinging and I can’t wait till its over.
Historically, Democrats always raise taxes, p**s off the people – then we get Repubs to lower the taxes, it’s been going on for a loooong time.
Because that’s what gets him the votes of the idiots
Probably for the same reason people on here still think he’s Muslim. Sheer stupidity? That’d be my guess.
WHat else are you gonna do? He cant win peoples votes with his policies, or even his personality. The only thing he can do is lie about obama, its the only thing hes got, though he would have better luck if he made that wife of his give away free beer.
This is politics, period. They lie about the other to get an advantage and earn trust.
factcheck.org <– Republicans worst nightmare
Obama’s policies are VERY well spelled out on his website. He will raise the taxes of people who make more than 250,000 a year, and lower everybody else’s.
Republicans always come up with some lame “facts,” by saying “Obama wants to raise corporate taxes, so the corporations are going to raise prices, so Obama is going to cost you more money.” STFU. Regulate the corporations better then.
Rolling back the Bush tax cuts will raise taxes for all, including: rates on all brackets, capital gains, and depreciation. You figure it out.
Oh, forgot about rolling back the inheritance tax too.
McCain is acting like jelous kid,between the lies and B/S ads making fun of Obamas popularity. he still reminds me of the grumpy old man yelling at me to get off his lawn.
There is always enough of a smear campaign in the political process, you don’t need to help them. Obama does the same stuff as McCain so stop whining. If you think Obama has any idea how to run the country then you are very much misinformed. He is a puppet and does and says what other people tell him to say and do. Watch him closely when people ask him questions where he doesn’t have a script to read from. If he wins this election I am moving out of this country.
bc that is what dems do
make anyone who actually has a good paying job pay their taxes and the low income famalies taxes too.
Ok, lets get serious. Politicians don’t really care , they are in the game for money and to manipulate. He’s trying to turn people against Obama it happens in every election .
It’s one of those political logic exercises that makes no sense. Obama plans to raise taxes on people making more than $ 250,000 per year. A small business owner fitting that description will see higher taxes. That isn’t the problem. The problem, Republicans believe, is that the business owner will fire employees to make up the money lost in taxes. Don’t know why that would happen, since the employees presumably make money for the business owner or employees would have been fired long ago. So unless higher taxes make small business owners stupid, the Republican argument is silly.
because that is dirty politics!
He’s not lying..that is what ObamHUH wants to do! He wants to be like Robinhood and redistribute the wealth! Hey, do you like socialism? If so, vote for ObamHUH. Do you want more government control of the money you make? If so, vote ObamHUH. Do you wish to live in a country that is based upon the thought that you can attain your highest goal of making as much money as you want to make? If so vote for one who believes in American ideals of capitalism and the republic for which it stands. Vote NO for ObamHUH!
Because he is running out of arguments …so he lies .
HE’S REPUBLICAN..ITS HIS DUTY TO LIE
you are wrong. Read this if you actually care.

He’s not it came from Obama’a big mouth.
Sen. McCain does not have clear plans for America he is fixated with trying to bring down Sen. Obama. It does appear that Sen. McCain truly dislike Sen. Obama–he’s younger, handsome, intelligent, most Americans and other countries respect him, in other words Sen. Obama is everything Sen. McCain is not. Sen. Obama really and deeply care about America and her people.
Did you know that factcheck.org is run by Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania. Did you also know that the University of Pennsylvania is arguably one of the most liberal university’s in the country? so there fore wouldn’t their reports on the “facts” be slanted one way? I am not saying that they are wrong I am just pointing out some info for all of you so that you do not rely on one source for your info.
