McCain Ad: Obama Camp Trying To "Destroy" Palin
The McCain campaign has released a new television ad, "Fact Check," that suggests the Obama campaign is trying to "destroy" Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. No word on how often the ad will run or where; the McCain camp will say only that it is running in "key states."
"The attacks on Governor Palin have been called 'completely false'...'misleading,'" an announcer says as the spot opens. "And, they've just begun. The Journal reports Obama 'air-dropped a mini-army of 30 lawyers, investigators and opposition researchers' into Alaska to dig dirt on Governor Palin. As Obama drops in the polls, he'll try to destroy her. Obama's 'politics of hope'? Empty words."
As CBS News chief political consultant Marc Ambinder reported yesterday, Mike Gehrke, the DNC's research chief, denies that Democrats have deployed a "mini-army" to Alaska to dig up dirt on Palin.
"Not a single person from DC or Chicago has traveled to Alaska to do research," Gahrke wrote, saying that no Obama or DNC staffer (or hired gun) has made the trip.
He called the paragraph in the Journal report containing the claim featured in the McCain ad a "flat-out absolute fabrication," adding, "we have sent absolutely zero people."

The facts speak for themselves: McCain acted impulsively and now must lie and distort to keep Sarah Palin from pulling him down. That can only last for so long, the voters will wake up, and they''ll reject this ticket.
%u201CAnd now, the DNC and the Obama campaign are surprised that women are abandoning them and that Obama can%u2019t raise enough money for the general. I%u2019m surprised that they are surprised. What we have witnessed is an abuse of our caucus system, fradulent primaries and superdelegates substituting their will for the will of the voters. And all of this was done with Obama%u2019s approval because it was more important that he win than whether the party survived his candidacy. He was even willing to let Congressional candidates lose if he couldn%u2019t be at the top of the ticket.
No parachutes for his liberal backers, either.

Governor Sarah Palin is everything that is wrong with America.
Vote out corruption and take back America.

*** more like amnesty mccain and his over 20 million illegals are going down! They need to start swimming back! Vote no on amnesty mccain and the over 20 million illegals that he wants to give citizenship to so they can take away our american union jobs!
The fact is, both her and Bill could be countering this lunacy with some statesmen like responses. People listen to them, I assume even this 20% of obviously ''uneducated on the issues'' crowd who have jumped from the torpedoed ship, right into the oil spill that is the McCain campaign. McCain/Palin stray from the truth on a daily basis on the campaign trail. Let''s just be brutally honest: They are lying straight into the faces of their new adoring fans. I''m going to bet the ones lapping up their lies, don''t know the difference between a Filibuster and a HungerBuster.
Oil spills very often catch fire. They also produce the most searing, palinful and deeply scarring injuries immaginable. As I write, Dana Perino is issuing another terrorist alert of current "plotting and planning" to attack us. Why can''t people see through these GOP tactics?
Hillary Clinton needs to immediately grab a hose and Bill Clinton needs to man the eqivalent of an abandoned 30 caliber and blast away some sense on what may very well become the next USS Arizona disaster.
In other words, the ad simply lies.
But what should you expect from what has become the sleaziest campaign of modern times? It''s another reason I am glad that I finally changed from Republican to Democrat this year, and am voting Obama.
A complete fabrication
It shows
McCain HAS NO HONOR.
Our country is in a serious decline on a number of fronts and yet these people want to continue to allow it to slip by continuing with the exact same policys of the past 7 years.
Are they willing to allow our country to basically desintegrate just in the hopes they can keep a few extra bucks in their pockets?
It is really difficult to fathom such greed they people would destroy their country over it.

Nobody, even the most willfully ignorant among us could ever believe such utter nonesense.
Christians don''t believe in murder of any kind???????????? Think about it!

Those of us who are holding out aren%u2019t doing it because we%u2019re racists. It%u2019s not because we are wedded to Hillary. She%u2019s right about never looking back to what might have been. We have to move forward. But we will never support a man who has so utterly destroyed our trust in him and the party apparatus that put him in power. Not only have they failed to exercise leadership and control but they have put victories for downticket Democrats in question as well. They have subverted the process to the point that we may lose the slim margins we hold in Congress while we end up with a Republican running the White House.%u201D
Obama, your days as a politician on the national scene is severely shortened by your own foolish blunders and your elitist arrogance.
The more they repeat PROVEN lies in their stump speeches, and have their ads rated BOLD FACED LIES by MSM%u2026the sooner we can relax.
Obama and Biden take the day off, you deserve a rest%u2026.let Grampy dig his OWN grave.
The South Carolina Democratic chairwoman''s comments today that Sarah Palin''s only qualification for being picked was that, "she hasn''t had an abortion", is just sickening.
We love you Sarah. Hang in there!
Examples? They quickly used Obama''s analogy of "lipstick on a pig" against him. Their campaign helpers launch fake letters and vids to say he''s a muslim etc. It goes on and on.
Obama tries to defend himself and when he attempts this, Mccains camp will claim Obama is the attacker which is yet another dishonest tactic.
Every time something bad is said about Obama, I do research to quickly learn it''s untrue. If I discuss some mccaine fanatic usually attacks me. Each time it happens I''m more unhappy with mccains camp. I originally wondered if mccaine might be a good choice. YES, I honestly did.
I no longer feel comfortable with him. To top it off, mccaines campaign manager has been one of the biggest oil executives in the world. And yet he claims they will look for alternatives. I''d say the temptation is too high and he could end up pretending he''s looking, yet insist on drilling. Obama can drill if needed while searching, without the financial temptation.
With the continual desperation, dishonesty I see in mccaines camp I can only feel it''s unfair. And attacking Obama for defending himself is also crooked.
That said. I can''t imagine having someone as dishonest and sneaky as mccaine as our president.
Democrats will raise taxes, cut military spending, military veterans will also see a decrease in there yearly raises.I have not heard Obama say how he will support our troops, he does not have the military background that McCain has. As a nation we need to support the canidate who will benefit all Americans.
Obama needs to get back to the issues and keep pig comments out of the elections.
Keep up the good work McCain/Palin.

Change we can believe in.
Vote Obama/Biden ''08
Cut the kiddy ***! Both sides!
We ARE facing tough times but anyone would be disingenuous to say that it is not in part due to bad leadership and poor judgment. John McCain and his party has directly contributed to the tough times that we face. To elect him would patently idiotic on our part.

You are right...she does scare us. The fact that this person could be a heartbeat away from comander-in chief....scary indeed. As for the McSame ad, it is nothing but more lies and out-of-context hype. As for the "lipstick" comment, anyone with half a brain would know that Obama would not risk the fallout of such a comment directed at Palin. His comment was directed at McSame''s fiscal policies - and he hit the nail right on the head. Wake up America!!
Obama ''08

- Wolves out to get her? Well I guess Sarah can just get her fatigues and AK-47 out, hop in a Cessna and blast those wolves to smithereens. Good old hockey mom is willing to shoot to kill. This fits well with her anti-environment, anti-global warming, pro-oil, pro-war, abuse of power position. Anyone like her who has God on their side prefers to shoot first and ask questions later. Say that sounds familiar! . We just had 8 years of that nightmare with Bush - Sarah and John can%u2019t wait to gives four more. God Help this Nation!
