Desperate Times

[voyeurdug]

Hasn't changed/only gotten worse since this was first posted.

Fearmongering, negativity, smears, divisiveness and horking up LONG-disproved internet legends and innuendos about Obama. (Won't be surprised if Rev. Wright is brought up again.) Palin (today 10/5) is bringing up whathisname Ayers, in a stump speech in Nebraska, while McCain is practicing debating, in Sedona. You can almost smell the flop-sweat.

Desperation, it's an un-pretty thing.

[Advocate1234]

Wow, way to cite the New York Times twice, how persuasive.

What intellectual lightweights do you have writing this type?

[robertraidersmarines]

McCain = 3rd Bush Term

[mrsnet]

Great AD! Obama '08!!

[joelseph98]

Very few things are more entertaining then watching a liberally slanted news media completely misunderstand an accurate and on-point ad campaign.

If you can't see that Obama is blindingly wooing people into his rockstar fan club, you'll believe anything. He doesn't have anything to offer this country, and his insistence on returning to himself as a victim and creating a false perception that he is under attack for his race is disgusting.

Get informed folks, and start thinking for yourselves.

[bk3k]

Sheep like you should stick to eating grass.

[joelseph98]

Wow, you put a lot of thought into that one didn't you? : P

Where is the substance in your assertion that I am a 'sheep'?! Everywhere you look there are Obama supporters that have NO IDEA where he stands on the issues. There is no question that this man has a following of people that are startstruck, uninformed, and very well just might blindly punch a ballot for him in November without knowing anything about his plans for this country.

Baahhhhh

[jaywillie77]

Nice try.  Is this the new lie, er, I mean, spin? McCain can just say/do whatever he's told, like making an ad imposing Obama's face on a $100 bill, and Obama's not allowed to respond to it?

Sorry, but I think if McCain had anything to offer, his supporters would talk about that and not lie about Obama so much - I support Obama, and know very well where he stands on issues, and I swear McCain talks about Obama more than me!

[joelseph98]

How is this a spin? Obama has changed the presidential seal, removed the flag from his plane... Yet McCain compares him to an international celebrity and suddenly it's a low blow?

And if you think it's unusual for a Politician to talk about his opponent you must not have watched many campaign videos. : )

[jaywillie77]

Oh, he changed the pres. seal, did he? And removed the flag from his plane, eh?

C'mon...is that all the Obama bashers have? Lies, fears and smears?

There's nothing unusual about talking about your opponent. But when McCain cries about how much coverage Obama is getting and then proceeds to talk about Obama more than anyone else, it's kind of sad.

How about McCain talks about issues that matter instead of launching these childish attacks? With McCain, it's the Trashtalk Express 24/7.

[joelseph98]

McCain talks about the issues all the time, and any politician is going to point out the distinctions between him and his opponent.

I have many more reasons I don't see Obama being a suitable president - I was pointing out his arrogance.  A large portion of his following is comprised of uninformed people shouting the empty banter of "change" but many have no idea what he really plans to change about our country.

[joelseph98]

How o you really feel about his statements about north korea and iran not being threats because they are tiny, or that we will get the same economic impact as domestic drilling by putting air in our tires an getting a tuneup? Now days later he is considering domestic drilling?

[joelseph98]

Also it's important to remember that Obama built his entire campaign on a vague and rarely defined idea - "CHANGE", and almost constantly compares himself to other politicians in Washington. I don't necessarily see anything wrong with Obama setting himself apart (though he IS a politican, don't be fooled), and I don't see anything wrong with McCain setting himself apart from Obama by pointing out their differences, which are very very distinct.

[Maratanos]

Good choice of music for the video

[insancipitory]

I don't think Obama offers much. Going on what 150 days in his first term as a senetor? And being present (generally) qualifies him for President? But McCain and his POW status and 30 years of service have done what? He sold the blood of his BROTHERS IN ARMS for his own political ambition.  Put forth comprehensive campaign finance reform with a loophole he's exploiting. And an energy policy which will bring forth fruit in 6 to 30 years. For asia. Yeah... Tough choice.

[GBTRU]

Tough Choice when he represents a third Bush term. Hmmm lets see what the last eights years has brought, a costly war, economic downturn(and that is an understatement), Mortgage crisis, attack on the constitution, attack on our freedoms, world view of US tarnished, hmmm, lets see tough choice?

[gallowspole]

well that ad was really gay

[blair227]

Too old and stupid to be president.The Repugs have fucked us enough.CHANGE.

[EAStronghold]

McCain never waged an honorable campaign. Remember the attack ads against Romney during the primaries? It's too bad he deleted those off his Youtube profile. He even sent out an attack mailer in South Carolina saying Romney helped create "Taxssachusetts."

[Richardgwm]

This is the response?????? Grow some balls Democrats!!! Rip his throat open.

John McCain is no war hero. He crashed five planes and never had a successful combat mission. He is more incompetent than Bush.

ATTACK!!!!!! Do Not let the Republicans walk all over you again like in 2004.

[dogstar7]

I'm with you, R.

I want to hurt the Neo-Cons. I want to stomp their aspirations into the dirt. I want to discourage future generations from ever considering their philosophy.

In my opinion, Americas embrace of Fascism must be brutally confronted so that we make them pariahs for all time, as were the Nazis of the last century.

End Tyranny in America!

[otavallai]

Finally, someone else who recognizes that his whole "I know how to win wars" comment is pure bull.

Newsflash: We LOST Vietnam.

[pseudolover]

McMillions doesn't have a coherent strategy that's why resorts to these tactics, as well as having ROVe and his advisors helping him along. Was just watching Obama on MSNBC and they showed where he responds, but as soon as he starts to talk substance, they cut away. NO WONDER some people think he isn't proposing anything, they cut him off any time he starts talking substance.

[clipshooter]

I would've been ok if he'd won up until about a month ago... all of his "maverick" respect is for nothing, now, with his full-fledged move to the right and this horrible deterioration of his campaign.

[skids7682]

And now the McCain campaign is trying to tell us some of the things their own candidate says should not be taken as official campaign positions?

Who's in charge of this campaign? More importantly, who will REALLY be in charge in a McCain administration?

Will McCain be another puppet figurehead while elite business interests continue to run our government with no regard for ordinary people?

[TPAUSA]

McSame is just another bushbot running another sleazy show run by the same criminals that brought you BushCo 2004. The good thing is that Obama Camp won't take this crap as did the Kerry team =) The respond Fast!

[XskertsoX]

McCain lacks any credibility any more and I hope that more people will see it. Frankly I can't see why they already don't.

[ngarey]

derailed

[cosmlayla]

What happened to running an honorable campaign.

I guess desperate times calls for desperate measures.
