John "McNasty" McCain's Week YouTube Edition

McCain's campaign went 100% negative this week. Of course, most know this is a desperate measure and a clear signal of a campaign that has "no vision for America's future", in John McCain's own words:



The week started with Gov. Sarah Palin the self-described barracuda decided to call Sen. Barack Obama a terrorist



Of course, the Ayres connection has been debunked by every media outlet except Fox and Friends which Obama's spokesperson did a brilliant job of calling them out on :




The truth is McCain/Palin camp is trying to distract voters because they know, as McCain's spokesperson said, "If we keep talking about the economic crisis, we lose." The McCain camp decided the issue they'll try to win on is to paint Barack Obama as "the other" and non-American and a non-person. McCain even referred to Obama as "that one" during the debates. Which voters thought was childish.



McCain's nasty offensive this week riled up his crazy base. The shouted at campaign rallies that Obama is a "terrorist," a "traitor" and he should be "killed."




And don't tell me John McCain didn't hear that guy say terrorist because he obviously had a reaction.


As the McCain supporters got nastier and nastier, McCain slipped further in the polls. John McCain's negatives went way up even a Fox News poll shows Obama has a 60% favorable rating to 34% unfavorable and McCain favorable rating is 53% to 40%. The backlash didn't stop there many staunch supporters of McCain are disgusted with his attacks.

In an ironic twist McCain, after inciting the wingnuts into a rabid frenzy, was forced to defend Obama and the wingnuts reacted with boos.




Obama, of course, reacted to this week with his usual cool demeanor that has won him all the debates

Palin Exceeds Expectations

I'm shocked, shocked. Also, the bar was so low for Gov. Palin the only way she wouldn't exceed expectation is if she burped all her answers. Also, she was repeating well rehearsed answers. Also, she didn't help her candidate because she didn't draw a distinction between McCain and Bush. Also I would have loved to hear Sen. Biden say at least once to Gov. Palin "I would like to hear the answer to the original question." Also I hope if McCain wins he lives all four years. Also, she said the word "also" way too many times. Also, she wasn't a Vice President candidate up there she was a beauty queen contest candidate.

Do You Benefit from McCain's or Obama's Tax Cut Plan?

Here is a quick look to see which tax plan benefits whom. Obviously, McCain's, like Bush's favors the rich and Obama's favors the middle-class and working-poor. Some would argue that middle-class in major cities like New York and Los Angeles probably falls under the 111,000 to 160,000 category. Its true, you get a slightly larger tax cut from McCain, but is an extra $1.12 a day really worth all Bush-like policies you also get from McCain?

RNC Hijacks Obama's More of the Same Ad

After the Republican convention McCain stipulated that the election was not about experience, but about change. McCain and Palin are trying to say they, not Obama, represent change. Now the RNC has hijacked Obama's "More of the Same" ads by trying to tie him to the so-called "liberals" in the Senate. The problem with this line of attack is: the average voter doesn't know who most of the Senators in the ads are. Also, showing a bunch of old guys that have been in the Senate for years only reminds voters that John McCain is one of those old guys. However, Obama's "More of the Same" ads feature President Bush, everyone knows who he is and know his horrible policies. But good-luck Republicans!

Obama Hits McCain and Palin Where it Hurts

Brilliant ad by Obama campaign. This is one of the things they need to keep doing, going after Gov. Palin with smart and true ads. They are finally attacking McCain's perceived strength that he's a "maverick." Great job Obama! Click here if the video below doesn't work.

John McCain's Speech

John McCain's speech was just as horrible as everyone thought it would be. Never mind the protesters they're idiots and make Obama supporters look bad. One of the funniest lines was that Palin was a small business owner, he didn't mention that she received a certificate of involuntary dissolution because she didn't pay her taxes. McCain offered no details just red-meat for his all white audience. I've said it once and I'll say it again John McCain's campaign is so divisive it will cause him to have an ineffectual presidency just like Bush. Last thing, the POW card is getting really, really old.

Cindy "Plastic-Face" McCain's Speech

Cindy McCain is a worse speaker than John McCain. I didn't think that was possible. She sounded like she was reading a bedtime story. Contrast that to Michelle Obama's convention speech. I wonder how much the outfit she wore tonight cost? The dress she wore on Monday cost $300,000 dollars. At least, they let their adopted daughter (You know, the one she lied and said Mother Tersea told her to adopt.) on stage unlike the cover of People magazine. I guess people magazine has too wide of an audience unlike the RNC convention.
