McCain LIES yet again at rally, says Obama is planning 2012 run if he loses
McCain, in Defiance, OH, recalls Obama's line about -- should he lose -- returning to the Senate to do "terrific work" with the next president.

"Last night, Senator Obama said that if he lost he would return to the Senate and try again in four years for the second act," he said. "That sounds like a great idea to me.Lets help him make it happen!"

Here is what Obama said: (and you can tell the 'Second Act' he is referring to his to becoming a great senator)

In an interview with Charlie Gibson, Obama contemplates losing:

I’m a relatively young man. You know, they say there’s no second acts in politics, but you know, I think there are enough exceptions out there that I think I could envision returning to the Senate, and just doing some terrific work with the next President and the next Congress.

1. Rove Tactic: Whatever your side has done, accuse the other side of doing it.
Sarah Palin has conceded she will lose, and will run for President in 2012.

Therefore, accuse Obama of doing that.

5. Mccan't hasn't got anything better to mumble about than this.
It's what you do when you have nothing new to offer.

8. This ties into his ad "He's not ready to lead .... yet."
Edited on Thu Oct-30-08 11:28 AM by AtomicKitten
This is the same strategy Clinton tried; in fact, much of what McCain does/has done comes straight from the primary playbook. It's almost an admission that, yes, this guy is pretty awesome, but he's not "ripe" yet.

9. He is only talking to the "base"
Right now the only people that are listening to McCain are the base. The people that were going to vote for "PALIN" in the first place. He is not changing the mind of anyone else. The majority of americans have seen through his BS, and are no longer paying any attention to him. The only ones who come to his rallies are die hard zombies, and the only ones who come to Palins rallies are the right wing nutjobs who are so brain dead they can't think beyond "end of times"!

11. This just goes along w/the new ad that Obama is not ready to lead YET....Translation:
"Please... please....the GOP is BEGGING you for just FOUR years....that's all...four years...that's nothing...really...and then, if we f*ck it up worse than Bush...THEN only THEN you can vote for Obama....He's young...he's in his prime...he has plenty of time to run for the Presidency...look at how long I've been in government....C'mon, please....I'm not supposed to beg...but but but...there's a war going on that I fear we will end before we finish...forget that it was brought to the American people under false pretenses...I'm a MavWreck...I'm the one that's been tested...I know where Bin Laden is...I will make him famous...you will ... know...his...name...."

commence temper tantrum...Ask my 8 y/o daughter-going-on-drama queen..

12. WhenThe fuck does mccain ever tell the truth?
Desperate little shit can't get much uglier.

Someone should rack up all these lies and play them back to him on the Senate Floor.
