4. Obama is Steady as a rock compared to McLooseCannon
Two different approaches to decision making...

McLame is GOP Self Interest using all the Negative Tricks in the Quiver

Obama is Benevolent...going for whats best for the Nation....

This Election is a NO BRAINER

The GOP has fucked America and at the same time trying like hell to blame others for the damage

We cannot afford to Trust them for the 3rd time...they are Liars

Revolt with your BLUE VOTE...whad we got to lose? Give it a try, ya might like it....

5. The New Yorker on McCain
Edited on Thu Aug-21-08 04:20 PM by MBS
From Elizabeth Kolbert's piece in Talk of the Town, August 11

How important is it for candidates to tell the truth? Throughout his long career in politics, McCain, who called his PAC Straight Talk America, has presented frankness as his fundamental virtue. . . . .
The past few weeks have seen a change in McCain. He has hired new advisers, and with them he seems to have worked out a new approach. He is no longer telling the sorts of hard truths that people would prefer not to confront, or even half-truths that they might find vaguely discomfiting. Instead, he’s opted out of truth altogether. “Well, that certainly didn’t take long,” the Times observed.
. . .
Recent history suggests that Presidential campaigns don’t reward integrity; the candidate who refuses to compromise his principles is unlikely to have a chance to act on them. Still, McCain’s slide is saddening. That he has sunk to the level of “Pump” a full month before Labor Day really doesn’t leave him—or the race—far to go.

6. Obama is way more popular.
In the context of that ad, it's used to smear Obama, but by itself, it's completely true.

7. This is the guy who said there was a special place in hell..
for the people who smeared him. Then he hires the same assholes to run his campaign. I guess they'll have to make room in that special place for Johnny McLiar too.
