The latest from the Texas GOP.

These people are despicable assholes.

Bring on the keys.

1. And the interview with Cindy's 1/2 siblings.......

as well.

2. People will make the connection between the keys and McCain's seven to 12 homes, but

the GOP ad makes no sense. It's just despicable.

McCain should be called out for it.

5. Yes, he should...

The fact is, McCain got called out for an actual gaffe that shows how out of touch he is with normal people in this country. This ad is despicable and unbelievably misleading.

1. I don't know who ever described the American Dream as being inheriting wealth or marrying into it, which is what describes both John and Cindy McCain.

2. Barack Obama should not be held responsible for his father's actions AFTER his dad ditched him and his mom. I wonder what people would think if they knew the truth that the man abandoned Barack as a 2 year old and then went over to Africa and pumped out a bunch of other kids. That is an indictment on Barack's father being a deadbeat, not on Barack himself. Shameful to attack him for something he had no control over.

3. Unreal...

That might be one of the most misleading ads ever created. Since when is inheriting a fortune "the American Dream"? And since when is it Barack's fault that his dad had a bunch of other kids in another country, kids he's barely ever met? Unbelievable.

6. They want to make us all victims of McC's POW days.

This seems like what they are doing everytime someone says anything about the rest of his life it automatically goes to poor john status. I'm sorry he was a POW, it was rotten. It was also 30some years ago and since then he's been unfaithful to his wife, skirted scandals and told lies. He gets no free pass from me. I'll remind the pubs who throw this around that McC was against torture before he was for it.

Walking on eggshells about his POW days while they beat the shit out of our candidates isn't my idea of fair play.

7. Quite frankly...

Being left by his father at 2 years old had just as big of an impact on Barack's life as being a P.O.W. had on McCain's. Biden needs to call them out for this. He is a good man, and if McCain is called out by Biden for it, maybe he will respond and denounce it. This is worse than the Kerry swift boating in my opinion.

8. This is fucking disgusting.

Karma is a bitch.

9. Ciundy McCain made her money the old-fashioned way: she inherited it

And I just cannot respect people whose wealth comes from nothing but a trust fund.

[AuntPatsy]

10. Sorry but lame, very lame...I hope someone here in Texas mentions it to me...

I honestly hope so;-) they will wish they hadn't, it is extremely stupid, seriously stupid...does not make sense.

[Naturyl]

11. You "bring on the keys" and the despicable assholes will win.

I'm through with this.

Do it and see what happens. I very sincerely hope I'm wrong.
