McCain Is "Proud" Of Ad That Hits Obama On Celeb Status
(CBS)
(RACINE, WISC.) – While Barack Obama was asking John McCain if an ad comparing Obama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton was “the best you can come up with,” a member of the audience at McCain’s town hall meeting here asked if the Arizona senator had “flip-flopped” on running a positive campaign by airing that ad.
“We are proud of that commercial,” McCain said. “There are differences and we are drawing those differences. And I’ve said earlier I admire his campaign, but what we are talking about here is substance and not style, and what we are talking about is who has an agenda for the future of America.”
McCain said they could have a better discussion of the issues if Obama would join him at town hall events. “I have asked Sen. Obama to travel across this country with me and engage in town hall meetings. He has refused to do so, and yesterday, in case you missed it, he wanted to have a duel,” McCain said. “I’m not sure exactly what weapons he had in mind, but why don’t we just sit down together and have a discussion.”

%u201CAs Election Day nears, McCain''s campaign is adopting the aggressive, take-no-prisoners style of Karl Rove, the GOP operative who engineered victories for President Bush....But the sharp-edged approach is being orchestrated for an unpredictable candidate who often chafes at delivering the campaign''s message of the day. It is that freewheeling style that has made him popular with voters and cemented his reputation for candor and straight talk.%u201D http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2008_07/014199.php
for his independent ways and his
ability to cross party lines.His
adoption of Rove politics is very sad.I thought he had alot more to offer.The majority of voters are sick of the ole smear tactics.Sen McCain I thought i knew ya
Hahaha what an idiot!
The Obama camp is intelligent and consistant.
The McCain camp reduces itself to school yard insults (and proud of it!) McCain can''t keep track of what he says, because he throws away his notes.
The Bush campaigns taught us well---not to expect any brillance from the Republicans--they''re only capable of destruction.
It doesn''t matter what "weapon" they use--MCCain is the loser--he has no ammunition.
How do you defend a potential POTUS ridiculing ordinary and very troubled (Brit & Paris) young women while trying to smear another fellow American ? And you still find some Repugs embracing this actions. Repugs should be outraged and as Americans, defend these women who have NOTHING to do with this elections or the process. Cheers!
Is McCain sane? He really believes that Obama has challenged him to a duel? Something is wrong with the old boy.
What with? A wet noodle?
You certainly can''t take pride in your empty, flaccid, lobbyist-run tabloid campaign.
No ideas = sleaze politics.
Never earned a thing in his life.
Rich daddy and rich second wife gave it all to him.
Now he''s even given up his integrity and honesty in his lust to win.
Too bad McCain will be an empty shell nobody after November.
McCain--fade away.

McCain%u2019s campaign may be getting torpedoed by Republicans.
HE WOULD THAT F.UCKEN LOSER!!
How dare you?!!!
You promised to run a "respectable campaign" instead you put out cheap trash like this taloid garbage!
Everybody knows you don''t want to address the issues because you and Bush are failures!!!
The Jewish people knew once of a man who wanted to change them!
All of Germany bows to its new friend whos name is Obama Hussein!
Germany made one mistake? Me!
Do you have the audacity to have hope without truth? Vote Barack Obama on Election Day!
................Your loving and kind friend A. Hitler:)
=_ _=
(O O)?
._^_,
..o..Our initials together spell HO? The HO boys!
McCain has stooped to the lowest of low borrowing from the criminal KKKarl Rove campaign tactics. Anything to win, just like Bush.
Do you want a Bush 3rd term America? More of the same with John McSame!!!!
Wake up your going to have 4 more years of GOP rule and more devastation in this country!
What a hypocracy?
When he becomes Great Emperor,
all those evil Progressives who have come out slamming him, will be rewarded with a one way trip to Gitmo complete with unlimited waterboarding when they get there.
Those loyal neocon Fascist Nazis who have come out in support of McCain, will be rewarded by being rounded up, shoved into a uniform, given a hunting rifle, and thrown on to the next plane heading for Afghanistan, where they will remain for the next 50 years! The great "SURRRRRRGE" McCain promises that he will "SUPPORT THE TROOPS" by having Haliburton deliver sub-human food, provide sewage water for drinking and washing clothes, and "free" electrical shocks while taking showers!
SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!!!
sig heil, SURRRRGE, SURRRRGE, SURRRRGE, McCain!
What a hypocracy?

Sorry they were wounded.... but the cause was fraudulent, (less that grat....or great).
Obama wants to be a Super Star, No doubt about it. He wants to be loved by all and glorified.
Maybe he chose the wrong Profession, his vanity and ego would be more suited as a Super Star.
*******************************
That is because McCain is not quite sane.
If John doesn''t stop with these site photos looking like a clinch-fisted pit bull (Yes pit bulls can do that) with the word RACE in bold type we''ll be divided along the same lines as our CW.
Not sure if Billy Bob John wants to go that route,,He may though, with his memory he might not remember how the civil war turned out.
As far as the two of them hitting the town hall circut each week?
I doubt that the 4-foot 6-inch Billy Bob John wants stareing into Obams''s belt buckle to be his six-oclock news photo-op every week.
And it''s always the politician who''s''s behind that wants to debate.
No honest man, no man of character would be proud of that ad! :(
You are a moron, just like the current moron in the white house.
Looks like you got dumped, just like you did to your first wife, Johnny! Tooooo bad.
Guess you''ll just have to suck it up -- like the war "hero" you pretend to be.
BTW, anybody seen McSame''s honey, Vicki Iseman, lately? How come the Rethuglicans were all hot and bothered about Bill & Monica but don''t seem as interested in McSame''s sexual "problems?"
Hang in there Sen McBush at least you''re not under indictment (yet) like buddy Ted Stevens!

LOL YOU are joking right? LOL Why do you think McBush came out with this horrible attack Ad''s? LOL It was because he could NOT compete on the World Stage with Obama and he felt he HAD to drag him down to his level. It''s sick, it''s sad and EXACTLY what the Worst in our History did to get to the White House. What kind of fools would we be to allow that to happen a SECOND time?
John, it didn''t work for Hillary, it won''t work for you"
Suggest you stick to the tried & true "flip-flop" attack ,
Start with Bush tax cuts , a good way to promote the Republican agenda for America....
I have found it amusing that even though some bloggers have become nothing more than judgemental rambling empty headed people, one after the other, day after day, it reflects the way society seems to want to support "change" but refuses to do so for themselves.
Are we nothing more than children pretending to be grown ups?
Duty, Honor, Country- McCain
ME, ME, ME- Obama.
