Things Are Getting Rough Out There (McCain is getting good at this!)

Things Are Getting Rough Out There

From McCain spokesman Brian Rogers, in response to the Obama campaign's new offensive on John McCain's houses:

Does a guy who made more than $4 million last year, just got back from vacation on a private beach in Hawaii and bought his own million-dollar mansion with the help of a convicted felon really want to get into a debate about houses? Does a guy who worries about the price of arugula and thinks regular people “cling” to guns and religion in the face of economic hardship really want to have a debate about who’s in touch with regular Americans?

The reality is that Barack Obama’s plans to raise taxes and opposition to producing more energy here at home as gas prices skyrocket show he’s completely out of touch with the concerns of average Americans.

...if houses were really an issue, why didn’t they count Heinz/Kerry’s?

Because they are DEMOCRAT houses. In the DNC's wholly-owned mainstream media, negatives only count when they are REPUBLICAN negatives.

The gloves are off.

Somehow I think the All Sizzle No Steak guy will be crying again.

Team McCain ought to give Brian Rogers a pay raise. That’s a 2 Million Scoville Units Burn.

“It’s funny, but the problem now is that Obama may be too weakened to fend off Hillary at the Dems’ convention.”

If HillBilly gets the nod, it’ll be an absolute meltdown for the Dems. Not running the candidate that won the primary fair and square? That’s not “democracy”....

Not to mention the riots. :-P

McCain landslide, either way.

For only $12 a year you can sponsor the brother of the Democratic nominee. Won’t you please help double this poor man’s income?

That’s it Brian, kick Obambi and Axelrod where it hurts the most. Smash mouth politics at it’s best courtesy of Steve Schmidt, way to go! I doubt Ax ever thought he’d be up against someone 10 times tougher than he is, he was probably counting on John Weaver and Rick Davis to lead Mac’s charge alone. Sorry about that Ax, you’re up against the A Team now.

We have 8+ years worth of detailed crapola on Hillary. She can make Barry look honest by comparison.

I love that Obama’s brother was homeless for ten years....and not Barry nor any of his “big family” will lift a finger to help their truly poor youngest brother.

Hey Barack, how many kids are you responsible for killing— do you know the number?? My guess is your God does...

If Obama gets the nomination, McCain will just continue to chip away at his lead with little sound bites and effective speeches.

McCain wins.

If the Beast somehow comes out of the convention as the nominee, the Obama supporters will be so outraged that they will NEVER vote for the Beast.

McCain wins.

For only 12 dollars a year you can help the impoverished Obama tribe in Africa.

Meltdown, yes.
Riots, yes.

But then the MSM goes into action, ignores the "that ain't democracy" angle, and plays up Hillary's speeches calling for unity in the face of those e-e-e-e-vil Republicans who want to put the poor out into the streets with no access to hospitals, hand more money to the ultra-wealthy, and kill the elderly. Landslide, no. Hillary will be a threat until JAN 21, if not beyond.
