John
McCain Goes Negative
By: Ironside
John
McCain says Americans want a respectful campaign.
John
McCain assured the People of the United States
that he was above the fray of negative campaigning.
OH
REALLY?
Nobody
questions McCain's or Obama's want for victory in Iraq. Nobody that is
accept for John McCain! We now have to wonder if McCain honestly believes
the rhetoric spewing from his mouth. This grumpy old man has now decided
to go negative and he's gotten down-right nasty doing it! These are false
statements:
"It seems to me that
Obama would rather lose a war in order to win a political campaign."
John
McCain 7/22/08
"He (Obama) didn't
just advocate defeat, he tried to legislate it."
John
McCain 7/25/08
"Obama skipped a visit
of wounded U.S. troops in Germany last week because it would not generate
sufficient publicity for his campaign"
John McCain 7/27/08
"So Senator Obama opposes offshore
drilling, he opposes reprocessing of nuclear fuel, he opposes storage of
spent nuclear fuel, so he is the Dr. No of America’s energy
future."
John McCain 7/29/08

Campaign Running Obama-Castro Ad
The McCain campaign
has a new web ad out placing Barack Obama, for the second time,
side-by-side with a foreign dictator. This time, it's Fidel Castro.
A Democrat in south Florida alerted the Huffington
Post to the image, which shows Obama and Castro, profiled
side-by-side, above a quote from the Cuban leader praising the Illinois
Democrat as "the most advanced candidate."
Picture association is a time-honored tool in political campaigns (think:
former Georgia Sen. Max Cleland having his mug pasted beside Osama Bin
Laden's during the 2002 congressional elections). And indeed, this is not
the first time that the presumptive Republican nominee has used the
tactic. Early in June, McCain's campaign launched a web ad placing Obama
beside Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad underneath the caption:
"Is it OK to unconditionally meet with anti-American foreign
leaders?"
Unlike that spot, the Castro advertisement actually uses the foreign
leader's words against Obama. But the quote is misleading in regards to
the actual political dynamics in play. For starters, since Obama became
the de facto nominee, Castro has been critical of his candidacy, arguing
that he has not called for serious alterations to U.S.-Cuban relations and
would willingly allow the island nation to suffer from hunger. Obama,
meanwhile, has criticized Castro as a repeated abuser of human rights and
a tyrant whose time has passed.
Moreover, the guilt by endorser meme is something that even McCain has
disavowed. When questions started being raised about his supporter, John
Hagee, the Senator washed his hands of the pastor's controversial
statements. "When he endorses me," McCain said, months before he
rejected Hagee's endorsement, "it does not mean that I embrace
everything that he stands for and believes."
For now, it seems the McCain camp is using its Castro ad on sites catering
to South Florida - obviously a politically important geographic region. An
email to McCain staffers went unanswered, but if readers have any more
information, please send us tips.

Polls
Around the World Favor Barack Obama
Obviously McCain cares
about what others in the world think about our candidates, unlike his
Party's faithful that could give a rat's ass what the world thinks about
America as we cram our ideology down their throat with military might,
like it or not! With McCain caring so much, I wonder if we can expect his
upcoming ads to look something like this (pssst, I guess it's not just
Fidel Castro):

Let
Us All Listen To McCain's Logic
If
John McCain is going to insinuate that Fidel Castro's beliefs are also
those of Barack Obama because of Castro's endorsement of Obama, then I
guess McCain believes that;
"All hurricanes are acts of God, because God controls
the heavens. I believe that New Orleans had a level of sin that was
offensive to God, and they were recipients of the judgment of God for
that."
John McCain Supporter John Hagee
And...
"God says in Jeremiah 16 - 'Behold I will bring them the Jewish
people again unto their land that I gave unto their fathers' - that would
be Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - 'Behold I will send for many fishers and
after will I send for many hunters. And they the hunters shall hunt them'
- that will be the Jews - 'from every mountain and from every hill and
from out of the holes of the rocks.' If that doesn't describe what Hitler
did in the Holocaust... you can't see that. So think about this - I will
send fishers and I will send hunters."
"Then God sent a hunter. A hunter is someone with a gun and he forces
you. Hitler was a hunter. And the Bible says -- Jeremiah writing -- 'They
shall hunt them from every mountain and from every hill and from the holes
of the rocks,' meaning there's no place to hide. And that might be
offensive to some people but don't let your heart be offended. I didn't
write it, Jeremiah wrote it. It was the truth and it is the truth. How did
it happen? Because God allowed it to happen. Why did it happen? Because
God said my top priority for the Jewish people is to get them to come back
to the land of Israel."
