Approval Ratings: The Public v. McCain

Get this ad on TV! - http://truthandhope.org/

Although I enjoyed Barack Obama's recent web ad "Embrace" (the one with lots of hugging between Bush and McCain), I still think the campaign needs to be a little harsher. The idea of a continuation of Bush policies into a third term should be scary, not playful. Furthermore, I think it's important to emphasize that McCain has been "doubling down" on Bush's policies at the same time the rest of the nation (and world) has been abandoning them.

I created this ad to illustrate the kind of concept I'd like to see Obama's team develop.

Again, not claiming to match the quality of Obama's ad team here. :) But I think that it's a good message, and would work well on the disenfranchised former Bush supporters (or at least people who had neutral feelings about him early on), who feel like they know better know, and wouldn't make that mistake again. If the American people can "get it" about Bush, why can't McCain?

"Obama has the worst approval ratings EVER. EVER. Not kidding...My Great-Gram loved Richard Nixon and I'll model myself after her."

Worst comment ever. My grandma said the earth was flat so of course, the earth is indeed flat. And worst approval ratings ever? Maybe in your crazed head.

Well, you can have both fascism and socialism, since one is a type of government and the other is an economic system. I don't think that the government has done anything that could be called "fascist" in a long time. Most people who we call "poor" are their on their own device. I see more than a struggle between the rich and the poor, its more complicated than that. If you don't graduate high school, you won't get a good job. The rich don't hold people down, the poor hold down themselves.

@dartaddict Good point . Not all Liberals are morons and not all conservatives are smart. But I get mad when I see the Liberal Media cover for the corrupt Liberal leaders because simple minded Liberals will believe anything they are told as long as it was a Liberal that spewed it . The bottom line is if you think Obama is doing a good job then thinking is not something you are very good at!

Wrong:

And of course, an extremist such as yourself is not going to consider anyone with opposing political views to be "smart". Furthermore, do you realise that there isn't really that much difference between most of those politicians who you consider to be "Liberal" and most of those politicians who you consider to be "Conservative"?
