McCain’s campaign has sent an incoherent message about 0bama.
It has failed to define him.
What good is talking about William Ayers or ACORN if the campaign doesn’t use these associations to draw a conclusion about 0bama?
McCain needs to use not one, but rather the aggregate of 0bama’s influences in life to bring him into focus. Frank Marshall Davis, Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, Saul Alinsky, ACORN, The Democratic Socialists of America, The New Party. What do they all have in common?
The answer: a dangerous, radical, far left ideology.
McCain must make this about ideology, and take 0bama’s associations as instructive. He should highlight that Saul Alinsky taught radicals to cut their hair, put on a suit, and take down the government from the inside, and 0bama was so versed in Alinsky’s tactics that he taught them to ACORN activists.
McCain’s ACORN ad reveals that 0bama taught for ACORN, but it never reveals the substance of what he taught.
The substance is what we need to understand 0bama. The substance is what makes it tangible.
McCain needs to call 0bama a wolf in sheep’s clothing. A clean-cut radical with very little papertrail infiltrating the system in order to destroy it.
Exposing 0bama’s radical agenda and properly identifying it as Socialism would be enough to ensure his defeat. It is what McCain must do.
The problem is is that it appears that McCain is still obsessed with “bipartisan unity,” and it has blinded him. He needs to stop being so “nice” and stand up and fight for what is right! For the sake of our country, he needs to do it!
When McCain ties Obama to teaching ACORN without telling what he taught, I can see where that could be construed as racist. And that’s exactly what the media want.
I have read of several people who don’t know who Ayers is. One idiot wrote if he was so bad why had he never heard of him before. I agree the connection and definition of Ayers’ philosophy needs conveyed more clearly. People will watch survivor but not look up who Ayers is. They need spoon fed.
I’m posting under work constraints so can’t read the thread to see if it’s already been said...but McCain can’t very well explain Obama to the nation on your terms AFTER he just two days ago said Obama was ok and would not be a President we need to fear. And I believe he later added that his SCOTUS picks would be ok, too. If Obama fits your description (and he does), then he is certainly someone to fear and should never occupy the OVAL OFFICE.
