Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain’s (Ariz.) latest television ad says that the country is in worse shape now than it was before President Bush began his second term.
“Washington’s broken. John McCain knows it,” the ad says. “We’re worse off than we were four years ago.”
The ad, titled “Broken,” shows that McCain is, at least in part, running away from President Bush’s record and looking to win favor with the centrist voters who have supported him in the past.
The ad, which is slated to run in key states, comes after Democratic rival Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) made a point of including images of McCain with Bush in his last two ads hitting the Republican on his energy policy.
The McCain spot, in which a narrator is referring to the Arizona senator as “the original maverick,” makes a special point of saying that McCain “has taken on Big Tobacco, drug companies, fought corruption in both parties.”
“He’ll reform Wall Street, battle Big Oil, make America prosper again,” the ad says.
Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton responded by saying that “Sen. McCain wants Americans to forget that during the Republican primary, he said that Americans were better off than we were eight years ago, and that he thinks we’ve made ‘great progress economically’.”
Burton added that McCain “wants us to forget that he’s fully embraced the Bush policies he once opposed, and bragged about supporting those policies ‘more than 90 percent of time’.”
Thanks ReaganMan. We could keep this up indefinitely. Take care.
Right.
Adios.
That's the scariest part.
You go too far FRiend. Arnold is raising taxes, supporting gay marriage, abortion, strange energy plan (closer to Obama frankly), and spending spending spending. Arnold also evolved into anti-Iraq. Arnold is a leftie. McCain is moderate conservative.
But enough. Good night.
Good night to you also.
What the hell do they think they will gain by running this ad? When I first heard it, I thought is was an Obama ad against McCain. All I could think was WTF was that?
One step forward, ten steps back. I was just starting to think our side was making progress and now this.
THE NEXT FOUR YEARS ARE GOING TO BE HELL ON EARTH FOR OUR CHERISHED COUNTRY.
Troll warning at post 191.
Needless to say, it's going on. I'm in South Orange County CA, so I shouldn't have any issues with a caring sensitive liberal damaging my car.
Of course, if I catch one doing something, I won't be a Compassionate Conservative. I will go by my FReeper name, then demand the Authorities treat the vandalism as a Hate Crime.
Perhaps there are psychological issues involved.
Simple - there isn’t a conservative running for president so I’m skipping that race. There, done.
I didn’t like that ad because I thought it was sloppy and the message wasn’t all that clear, but when I saw it I got the impression he was taking a swipe at the Pelosi/Reid congress, not his own party.
Now the ObamaRats have been provided ammunition to justify their attacks on President Bush all these years. McCain has just given credibility to a bunch of lying Socialists.
The McCain sticker I just put on the car is coming off. The NOBAMA sticker will take its place. McCain has just become the lesser of two evils. His ad insulted me.
I will take Ann Coulter’s advice and drink myself into a haze while I vote for McCain. It will be an anti Obama vote, not a pro McCain vote.
An Obama Presidency will spell the beginning of the end of the great experiment that was The United States of America.
The "right-wing" isn't "extreme." Conservatives are the only sane people left in this country and the GOP needs them desperately.
Without an energized conservative base, Republicans always lose elections. It may be that the base will be sufficiently energized to vote against Obama to hand McCain an undeserved victory.
If McCain wins it will be in spite of his moderate stance, not because of it.
I knew they would blow it. Things were looking up with Obama being pressed on his idiotic energy comments. The timing of this ad is a political blunder to end all political blunders.
Not too long ago, there were plenty of longtime Freepers who were castigating all of us who are too conservative to vote for McQueeg.
The insult of choice was "unappeasables" and it was DEMANDED of us that we crawl out from under the bus, where we'd been thrown by McQueeg, and campaign for him.
The last several weeks of nonstop, turbocharged pandering to the left by McQueeg have somewhat silenced this crowd.
So it's at least possible that the poster is not a troll, just a "moderate" Freeper who's still using this spring's playbook.
In light of his "born on" date, I doubt it, unless he is a recycle. The comment he made calling conservatives "extremists" sounds more like a DU troll.
His kind of talk is going on daily around here and somehow it is acceptable.
It would be like going to a RAT site and calling liberals far left moonbats. Bet no one lasts more than a minute doing that.
Frankly, I am quite happy McCain doesn't need me, I don't need him, but a person that trolls around spewing that idea is no help to anybody, least of all McCain.
I believe some of these people don't really care if we vote for McCain, not sucking up to McCain gives them a chance to bad mouth people and they enjoy it.
John Mc Cain.....................George Soros
