John McCain putting Britney Spears and Paris Hilton in one of his ads. Oh yeah, his Republican voters will take him very seriously! He just did the Dems a favor! Maybe John McCain would like Britney Spears to come on the campaign trail with him? LOL!

You wonder how the right wingers would like it if the dems put out an ad comparing John McCain to, oh I dunno, Estelle Getty and Bea Arther. They would be screaming bloody murder.

I think the purpose of using the young women celebritities on the ad was to get more dirty old white men to watch the ad, sort of like using Dana Perrino as press secretary for Bush. Rest in peace, Tony Snow. We forgive you. We are glad you had time to know you were well-liked, despite your partisanship. At least you certainly were not just a pretty face. I do not believe you would have been comfortable sinking so low as the Bush White House, Fox news, and the McCain campaign have sunk. Democrats and liberals of faith should pray for you and Lee Atwater. Those who draw the line, or who repent of having gone over the line, and express regret, are very different from the evil men (former Bush and Rove operatives, many of whom ran the ads and underground slanders of John McCain himself in 2000, on behalf of Bush) who are running the McCain campaign now. Too bad McCain learned the wrong lesson from recent history -- he could have gone the other way. There are some decent GOP political managers left -- and a few decent GOP candidates for them to work for. Even as a Democrat who wants to get to 60 votes in the Senate, I find it difficult to oppose Senator Smith in Oregon and Senator Collins in Maine. The one way to do so, is by asking Senator Obama to promise that a very suitable position in the new Administration would be found for them, where they can continue to do good work in the areas where they specialize and have both effective and compassionate policy views.

Does BHO draw supporters because:

He's an accomplished leader like Moses?- NO

His supporters are Mindless Pop Culture Groupies - YES

Many believe attracting large crowds is what qualifies BHO to be President. Pitiful, Pititful.

John McCain is reading too many tabloid newspapers. He is comparing Barack to two young white girls. Now he brings up A white guy, Fictional in the movies Charleston Heston as Moses? Barack is the Presumptive Democratic Candidate, not a rock star. McCain is more like the Bird man of Alcatraz. Too old, to run the country. And his alheimzers disease seems to be setting in right now. Be prepared for more stupid , political ads from John McCain, a prisoner in his own mind. May he rest in peace, in a nursing home, back in Vietnam.

What did he say that isnt true? Democrats treat Obama like he's the second coming of Christ. All he's good for is his little rah rah speeches. He has no plans to back up all this hope and change crap he keeps talking about. McCain is no better though. When will this country wake up and realize republican or democrat, they both suck. Keep voting for the same old politicians, they dont care about regular people, they only care about sucking up to special interest groups, and kissing asses to get elected. Both of them are cowards, just saying what the dumb sheep want to hear to dupe them into voting for them.

Oh NO! McBush has angered Hollywood. Well, there goes California and all the celebrities that live there. Pop culture will lead Obama to victory. A little unlikely, but hey, we'll take what we can get am I right?

Where's P Diddy's "Vote or Die" campaign? It'd come in handy now!

From 'straight talk' to smear campaign--JOHN MCCAIN
http://www.youtube.com/watch...
The UpTake's Chuck Olsen interviews author Irwin Tang about his book, "G--k: John McCain's Racism and Why It Matters."
"I hate the g--ks," McCain said yesterday in response to a question from reporters aboard his campaign bus. "I will hate them as long as I live."

McCain Criticized for Slur
----------ECONOMY STUPID----------
REPUBLICAN JOHN MCCAIN NEED TO KNOW AMERICANS ARE NOT FOOLS!
OIL FOR VOTES-----
http://www.youtube.com/watch...
http://www.youtube.com/watch...
Republican John McCain said Monday that drilling for oil off the U.S. coast is an essential part of any plan to lower gas prices and reduce dependence on foreign sources, and he criticized Democrat Barack Obama for opposing it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch...
REPUBLICAN JOHN MCCAIN NEED TO STOP THIS FALSE FIGHT TODAY. ALL THE MONEY JOHN MCCAIN PAY FOR SMEAR ADS SHOULD BE GIVEN TO CHARITY.
This oil problem did not start over night and McCain has had over 50 years to do something. Now Republican John McCain want to attack congress for a few weeks of time away. This is very foolish. Mr. McCain need to realize this is not the kind of leadership america need. This is OLD WASHINGTON greed and it need to stop. America say no to of BIG OIL CO., McCain, Bush and all who work for big oil. Middle class american need to take back ownership in america. McCain plan will not reduce gas prices, and it will not reduce america dependence on foreign sources. REPUBLICAN McCAIN NEED TO UNDERSTAND AMERICANS ARE NOT FOOLS. Oil production in 33 out of 48 out countries has now peaked, including Kuwait, Russia and Mexico. Global oil production is now also approaching an all time peak and can potentially end our Industrial Civilization. The most distinguished and prominent geologists, oil industry experts, energy analysts and organizations all agree that big trouble is brewing.(by crude impact)
http://www.youtube.com/watch...
Do Mr. McCain Know that BIG OIL CO. will never sell Americans oil cheap. Americans say No to John McCain and Big Oil Co. Americans have already given big oil land to drill----let them finish. NO VOTES FOR FALSE OIL LIES. AMERICA SAY NO TO MCCAIN. I WAS A FOOL TO VOTE FOR BUSH. EACH DAY JOHN MCCAIN LOOSE MY VOTE. Let America take ownership in American land and Americans Oil. PUT A STOP TO BIG OIL COMPANIES. Put a stop to Republicans McCAIN/BUSH.
I WAS A REPUBLICAN VOTER AND NOW I AM A INDEPENDENT VOTER.
Republican John McCain--Bush continue to have a bad economy and dependence on foreign oil.

BAD ECONOMICS --- ECONOMIC COLLAPSE
WHERE WILL JOHN McCAIN BE 20 YEARS FROM NOW?
http://www.youtube.com/watch...
1. America need to improve it's ability to compete.
2. America need to CHANGE and restructure.
3. America need to adopt new practices.
John McCain greatest asset is---John McCain.
--John McCain is known as--- ONE MAN WITH POOR JUDGMENT AND EXPERIENCE----
Obama greatest asset is to UNITE PEOPLE TO PRODUCE CHANGE.
--Obama is known as---ONE MAN WHO UNITE PEOPLE TO BUILD STRENGTH WITH THE USE OF MANY EXPERIENCES-- AND BETTER AMERICANS ECONOMY.
JOHN McCAIN IS NOT A UNITER.
McCAIN ONE MAN WITH POOR JUDGMENT AND EXPERIENCE?
http://www.youtube.com/watch...
AMERICA NEEED BETTER ANSWERS----WAR FOR OIL AND DRILLING FOR OIL IS NOT FOREVER.
WHERE WILL JOHN MCCAIN BE IN THE NEXT 20 YEARS?
Do something better than McCain.

It's sad McCain has to resort to these kinds of tactics. Shouldn't he be emphasizing what he feels are his qualifications and what he thinks he can do to improve the country? That just goes to show you he knows he is out of touch with the average American. Desperation can be unappealing.

Just to note I am not a supporter of either candidate. Thats just my observation.
