Barack Obama's campaign continues its negative attacks on John McCain with a new :30 second spot titled "Don't Know Much." It rehashes the theme McBush that Democrat operatives have been pushing. Ironically, it is unveiled today as Jimmy Carter takes the podium at tonight's DNC Convention in Denver.
Get the new PD toolbar! It's clever to set this type of attack up with some light hearted music. And focusing on the economy is the greatest area of opportunity for Obama.
The whole McCain is Bush theme hasn't yet proved successful. People are not dumb, they know the difference. But maybe the Democrat's perfection of the Big Lie (repetition) will work for them.
Republicans always fall back on making the Barack Hussein Carter Obama connection.
"The whole McCain is Bush theme hasn't yet proved successful. People are not dumb, they know the difference. But maybe the Democrat's perfection of the Big Lie (repetition) will work for them."
Greg,
What's the difference?

Its true. McCain has supported all of the neocon agenda. He is also limited in his understanding of current affairs. Dems should chant,"NO FOUR MORE YEARS."

McCain is really so different than Bush? Wow - maybe you need to check out McCain's web site - seems pretty damn similar to me to Bush. At least on economic and foreign policy issues, which are the two major issues that a president confronts. Sure, McCain supported campaign finance reform (McCain/Feingold) and the immigration bill - both of which his fellow conservatives despised him for - yet Bush signed off on McCain/Feingold and would have signed off on the immigration bill as well, had it not blown up in their faces. Just not feeling the huge differences here.

Here are some reasons why four years of McCain does NOT equal four years of George W. Bush:
1. McCain–Feingold Act: The Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 - Its chief sponsors were Senators John McCain and Russell Feingold.
2. Lieberman-McCain Climate Stewardship Act - October 30, 2003 - While the measured failed by a vote of 43 to 55, the vote demonstrated growing bipartisan support for a genuine climate change policy.
3. McCain-Kennedy - the Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act (S. 1033), a bill proposed in May 2005 by Senators Ted Kennedy and John McCain.

John McCain, based on his bipartisan past, is probably one of the Republicans least likely to govern like Bush--and therefore least deserving of the inevitable Bush III label.
Barack Obama is actually Bush III. Another deer in the headlights.

At least McCain knows how many states make up the United States. The empty suit candidate is grasping at straws again!

Obama is unqualified and unfit to become Commander-In-Chief. In fact, his association with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, among others, would prevent him from getting the security clearance needed to enter the military as a private. HE HAS NEVER SERVED OUR COUNTRY!
American citizens are beginning to realize that Obama and his angry wife are the most dangerous socialists to ever attempt a White House takeover.
It used to be that a candidate running for the highest position in the United States had to have an impeccable reputation, patriotism above reproach, outstanding ability and experience, a wife worthy to be first lady, and a character of the highest integrity.
There has never been a candidate for the presidency of the United States with more questionable background, more controversial issues, and more conflicts than Obama.
Obama has neither ability nor experience.
He truly is a Muslim who wants to be seen as a Christian. (How's that for disloyalty to both religions?)
There is much controversy regarding his birth place? He is receiving large donations from China, Iran, Iraq and who knows where else? Now it's being denied.
He is half white but identifies only with black.
His wife is a militant black who thinks like Malcolm X.
The conflicts and controversies, rumors, myths grow bigger by the hour.
Years ago this would have been a formula to reject such a candidate simply on the basis he was too controversial and suspicious to represent America.
Now --- none of those items seems to matter to a large percentage of voters as long as they think he is black, Muslim, and looks good.
Why not let O.J. become a member of the Supreme Court of the United States. So what if he killed two people! Why did Ted Bundy have to be executed? He would have made a good crime investigator! So what if he killed all those women.
In other words, it seems it doesn't matter how wrong or controversial a person may be as long as he is popular.
What is wrong with the minds of the American voters? If Obama is elected, then God help America --- It will get what it deserves!
The Honorable John McCain has proven he loves our country enough to die for us! As a Proud American, he gets my vote!

The problem with the 57 comment was that there are 56 primaries/elections in the primary. It shows more to the decline in State rights and a primary election in a very tight primary. Guam was being counted that day. GUAM! I think not knowing that Pakistan doesn't border Iraq is huge. McCain is running on his foreign policy and ability to manage the wars. Funny? That border includeds both wars? What about the pesky Iran right in the middle? O ' and Afghanistan. These are Countries. Barack was trying to keep up with primaries. Silly republicans.
