Oops, McCain did it again

By Rob Tornoe

After watching McCain's new ad mocking Barack Obama as a self-important celebrity along the likes of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, I was inspired by the last time Britney got involved with a politician in a commercial, back when the media was still in love with the straight-talk express.

That video is halarious. LOL. I am still having touble with digesting
the fact that the McCain camp put out a video comparing barak
Obama to Brittney spears. wow, McCain isnt the same candidate as he was in 2000 I think everyone thought they were getting 2000 McCain,
Instead we got a much more confused and cranky McCain.
Did you seem him knock the stuff off the shelf in the grocery
store., Or him blowing up on the reporter. His Campaign has
become a punch line. You can see both mentioned train wrecks
at http://www.mccanes.com I am torn, do I vote for Obama,
who I dont think is really the change that he claims, and the
change he is going to bring might be for the worse. He is sooo
arrogent too. Bush was very arrogent. I think weve learned our
lesson for voting for someone who wont admit when they are
wrong. Stay the course is a scary Motto. I dont want that any
more. Obama is a bit scary. OH, did you see the video of
Obama losing his temper., I had never saw that before. They
have that video of http://www.TheObamaPlan.com

McCain

McCain said he wanted to run a respectful campaign. So what's the first thing he does - goes negative with a series of blantantly false charges. We now know that before Obama went to Germany, the McCain campaign prepared two attack ads one if he visited troops and one if he did not.
McCain accepted $1 MM in donations from Texas Oil men after he flip-flopped on off shore drilling. McCain doesn't like how Sen. Stevens uses earmarks; seems he's more comfortable with Sen. Stevens fundraising efforts.

Anorexic looking blond

Anorexic looking blond heiress with a history of drug problems who wears incredibly expensive clothing styled exclusively by European designers, looks like she's had quite extensive "work" done on her face & body and who had no compulsion about publicly flaunting her affair with a married man while he was still living with his disabled wife and their children ...

... nope, not Paris Hilton, and it's certainly not either of the Obamas, but it sure is someone John McCain knows well, and whose Daddy financed launching and maintaining his entire political career along with his lavish lifestyle (9 multimillion dollar homes AND McCain actually had a lake built by one of them so he could fish while he was there!)

John McCain really shouldn't have gone there with this ad, but now that he has he has made this topic fair game. What an incredibly idiotic thing to do.
