Liberal Group: McCain "McSame" As Bush

Liberal advocacy group Campaign to Defend America has an ad running in Pennsylvania and Ohio called "McSame."

The spot, which the group is spending more than $1 million on and could expand to other states, is reminiscent of ads Republicans used to run during the 1990s in which Democratic candidates "morphed" into Bill Clinton.

In "McSame," it's John McCain who is the target – and he is, ahem, said to be the "McSame" as President Bush. In the spot, a picture of McCain has its head removed, and Bush's head replaces it.

"Where does John McCain stand on the issues?" asks an announcer. "A trillion dollars in Iraq over the next ten years. McSame as Bush. A millionaire who’s for tax cuts for millionaires. McSame as Bush." The same message is repeated regarding tax breaks for oil companies and the lack of a plan for universal health care coverage.

Who Mike Huckabee really is: A genuine American who wants to bring back the American Dream to everyone in America. Mike wants to work for everyone from Wall Street to Main Street. He respects the corporate boss but also really cares about the average hard working family in rural America. Mike Huckabee would be the Republican nominee if the Washington establishment, the media and the RNC had not completely shut him out and blocked his message.
McCain, & Romney, would have never made it even quarter as far as Mike Huckabee on the same resources he had. Without big money and big media backing, they would have folded all most immediately, because they have no message, no heart and no desire other than to promote themselves.
Here is the secret of Mike Huckabee in his own words.
"The greatness of this country has never been in it%u2019s government, but in the extraordinary things that its ordinary people are willing to do for their neighbors."
%u201CWe will be a strong nation that will apologize to no one for our strength,%u201D
%u201CI%u2019d like to be the kind of President that%u2019s more concerned about the people on Main Street, not just the folks on Wall Street. Let%u2019s never forget who the real boss is. I work for those people, they don%u2019t work for me%u201D
%u201CI would consider it the highest honor of my life if you would give me the opportunity not to rule, but to serve,%u201D Mike Huckabee, candidate for the people, of the people,by the people.

Will Americans vote to perpetuate the same detrimental policies of the neo conservative right wing?

More wars, war spending and a permanent war economy?
High Energy costs dependent on foreign Oil?
The continued dilapidation and living standard of the American Middle Class?
Open borders and the abuse of the slave immigrant working class?
Corruption, and passing out Federal Treasury Funds to the Private Sector?
Furthering the disregard of the US Constitution?
Invasion of American privacy and illegal surveillance?

Non of these issue has anything to do with McCain%u2019s Service during Vietnam, not enough said%u2026
