At a fundraiser tonight in Louisville, Ky., Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said that the word of his opponent for the White House, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., "cannot be trusted."

"You know, this election is about trust, and trusting people's word" McCain told a crowd of donors to his campaign. "And unfortunately, apparently, on several items, Sen. Obama's word cannot be trusted."

Johnny, if you intend to run a "respectiveful" campaign you have joined the wrong party. It ain't gonna happen. Millions of small donors like me are going to bury you and your party's slime machine this time.

Hey John, tell me how you're going to get Republicans to vote for you if your remarks last summer about Americans being too incompetitent and lazy to pick lettuce like illegal immigrants are re-presented in the right campaign ad. Is that offer of $50/hr for Americans who want/need to work still on the table? With gas the price it is, I'm sure you can afford it, but there are probably even more Americans this summer who want your job offer. Still acting like the money offer was just a sarcastic remark, or are you still hiring?

McCain is a dangerous fool living protected by his ignorance from realities common to most. He is old for his age, incapable of and disinterested in learning very much about even the most mundane things, much less thinking ahead to consequences of rash and foolish behavior. Like Bush, he is the son of privilege, pushed along by his Daddy's connections and more lately his wife money. The press should do its job and stop selling out their profession ethics and the country's well being for a few piece of BBQ.

"as any fool can tell, Obama cannot be trusted, because he voted against the GI bill for Vets and then tried to take credit for the bill passing! For Shame! For Shame, your next beloved Great War Presinator

This statement is hilarious coming from McSame. There are a few topics that he should stay away from so he doesn't look foolish like this statement has made him look.

Here is a list for the McSame campaign of topics that he should stay away from:

Trust, flip flopping, energy policies, diplomacy, foreign policy, the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, the current administration, healthcare, veterans affairs, immigration reform, campaign finance reform, natural disasters, America's infrastructure, NAFTA, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, taxes, tax cuts, religion, warrantless wiretapping, education, and the economy.

McBush's newest flip flop is a prime example and one of his worse.

McBush did not bother to show up and vote for the new GI Bill but expressed his opposition to the bill. Then he said he did support the new GI Bill (major flip flop). Then McBush kept on pounding on 0bama that he did not support the troops because he said 0bama was not going to vote for the Iraq and Afghanistan war funding. Then the Iraq and Afghanistan war funding was tied to the new GI Bill. Obama came back to vote for the Bill and McBush was AWOL when it came to showing up and voting for the final bill. The press does not even report the flip flop or the fact that McBush broke his word and did not even show up to vote. The only other senator that did not vote was Teddy Kennedy for obvious reasons. If McBush wins this election it will be because the media is far from doing it's job.

Obama can't be trusted says the former member of the Keating Five who hasn't paid his taxes.

This is one of the strangest general elections I can ever remember. This election is all about 0bama. That's not talking out of arrogance that's reality. I check out about a half a dozen blogs a day and the comments on linked articles like the articles on HuffPo. About 99.9% of the blogs are for or against 0bama or against McBush. Out of the hundreds of opinions I have read less than a dozen or so have actually been for McBush. And all those blogs were for things regarding his biography like saying he is a war hero. The polls show the same thing in one poll 84% of 0bama voters were enthusiastic in their support of him, while less than 50% said they were actually enthusiastic about voting for McBush. I think this means 0bama will have a big win in the fall but it is just a fascinating phenomenon.

We all see this phenomenon on HuffPo especially when 99% of the trolls don't even admit they are voting for McBush. Many of them lie and say they are for third party candidates or even Ru Paul before they admit they will vote for McBush. The only people that ever threaten they are going to vote for McBush are bitter Hilllary supporters.

Try checking some of the Conservative blogs - always a good idea to monitor what the opposition is saying. They are easily vehemently anit- Obama but sure don't seem very enthusiastic about their candidate, McSame. As Jonny's mom said, they seem to be "holding their noses" to vote for him.

McBush is in desperation mode in the latest polls. People you have to check out this link. McBush is dropping like a rock in the polls. It's quite amusing actually.

McFu: The Ancient Art of Flip Flopping.

I'm not going to list all the flip flops her because people already mentioned them. But I will say his latest flip flop on the new GI BIll may be the most disingenuous. He sated his opposition for the bill and did not even show up to vote against it. Then he attacks 0bama for not authorized the latest war funding for two weeks and when that vote comes up he is AWOL again (the latest war funding bill also contained the new GI Bill). Then he has the nerve to say he is for the new GI Bill. Now that is the definition of unmitigated gall coming from a man who does not have the integrity to be C-in-C. I wonder which of his 7 homes he is taking this weekend off in and if he paid the taxes there also.

"The bill was approved by 92 to 6, with most Republicans joining all of the Senate's Democrats in favor of the measure. Senator John McBush, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, and Senator Edward Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts, who is ill, were the only absentees.

Both 0bama and Clintoon voted in favor of the war spending measure."

Just which words of Mcsames are you supposed to believe?
The ones he spoke the first time he ran on the straight talk express?
Or the ones that spill out now from the flip flop express?
I mean really can this guy really talk about someone else being trusted? Just what about him?
republican = insanity!

Some people don't think marital "cheating" is as important as you do.

Lots of politicians -- including ALL of the Kennedys and FDR -- have been serial cheaters. Do you automatically distrust ALL of them for office-holding purposes?

well, yah - if they cheat under the spot light of the public eye, then they are not only untrustworthy, but really, really dumb.

Says the man who votes against his own bills, sides with Bush on torture, sides against children's health insurance, sides first against then for Bush's tax breaks 50% of which go to the top 1% (like McCain's wife, for example), sides against a woman's right to choose and so on and so forth.

It is refreshing to hear a man who is an expert in deceit lecturing on deceit. It's called PROJECTION.

John McCains views on the value of Trust are about as bogus as Charles Mansons' views on the value of Family! Anyone interested in McCains' notions on trust should take a look at the way he cheated on his first wife Carol with a much younger and richer woman named Cindy; now his current wife!
