AMERICAblog: McCain campaign: We got sleazy to get press attention

  • sukabi1 · 1 year ago
    The Lying Crybaby Defense, wow... almost as good as the Wife Beater Defense that they were using earlier in their attempts to justify the negativity... ie, "If he'd only done the townhalls with me, it wouldn't have had to be this way."

    And people think this is the party that will keep them safe??? Time to haul out the binky and the blankie and put these fuckers to bed.

    WOW, admitting they are LYING and GETTING SLEAZY is not putting Country First. How dare they say they are "straight talking" when they admit they lied to get attention! That isn't change we can believe in!

    McCain is getting worried about the ads that might come out of the Obama camp. Why else would they be making excuses now that they have gotten away with the dirty campaigning of the last couple of weeks? Rove started this new ploy to stop Obama from going negative by coming out with his criticism of McCain this morning. Now it’s being followed up by McCain’s own campaign.
    This is nothing more than a ploy to keep Obama from coming out with attacks showing the truth. McCain got called to the carpet for going negative with lies they thought no one would call them on.

    Karol, I think you are correct. AIR THE ADS NOW, OBAMA!
  • An_American_Karol · 1 year ago
    Watch what happens when Obama comes out fighting...the Republicans will play the victim by saying they admitted what they did was wrong and Obama broke the truce.
  • Cjeffery · 1 year ago
    And the Media will love it. Rove set him self up to say "I siad the same thing about McCain Obama has gone over the line." Makes him look fair and balanced even if Obama ad's ar ethe truth it won't matter they are trying to pull him down.
  • sukabi1 · 1 year ago
    they are already crying about not getting attention, Obama not being fair in his ads, ect. , so what's going to be different?
  • hawkseye · 1 year ago
    I think you are right, too.

    This just proves John McCain isn't willing to hew to honor, integrity and honesty. He will always take the easy path and then when its over expect everyone to just forgive him. He believes the ends justify the means. Its the pattern in his life. He does what he wants, and gets rewarded for it no matter who he annhilates in the process. We can't have that kind of person who always PUTS HIMSELF FIRST. JOHN MCCAIN - PUTTING HIS EGO BEFORE COUNTRY, FAMILY AND HONOR every time!

    John, I just saw a post on another blog about the largest political rally in the history of Alaska. It was an anti Palin Rally in the capital . I'm sure this will not be covered by the main street media. See what you can find for us.
  • sukabi1 · 1 year ago
    I posted this link on another thread... story, photos and video of the rally.
  • cowboyneok · 1 year ago
    Hey, 123akennedy!

    I read it over a DailyKos. Here is a link. Its GRRRrrrrrr-eat!

    http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/9/14/103042/...

    Man, I didn't know they had that many people in the whole state of Alaska. The funniest part of the rally is the puny little anti-rally across the street...
  • An_American_Karol · 1 year ago
    Someone posted a video clip of an angry radio political commenter trying to get people to call the organizers of the anti Palin rally and harass them. The poor women were called with all kinds of violent hate speech.
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    I noticed the last update on the Kos diary says Ed Schultz did a Town Hall Show there today, to be broadcast tomorrow.

    Should be interesting to hear the views of real Alaskans, versus the Fundie Land Rapers who Palin represents.

    In her latest appearance on SNL, "Hillary Clinton" offered to lend the media "a Pair." She had better find the keys to Ft. Knox. That is where the GOP keeps a huge stockpile of journalist gonads. To keep her offer, she'll need a larger supply. Her own two will likely go to waste over the weekend. One harsh look,from Tucker Bounds, one GOP refusal to priovide donuts on the bus, one McCain call to the corporate suit who is their boss, and the pair she lent to the two media recepients will shrivel and fall off. "Hillary" will need to resupply on a weekly basis at least. Poor "Hillary," she'll be passing out balls faster and more furiously than Steve Nash and Jason Kidd combined.

    Of course when Obama goes negative they'll yell he's just the same old politician and not different. That's why it would be better for the 527's to come out swinging. Obama needs to keep pounding McCain on his economic plan. There should be an ad right NOW over Allen Greenspans remarks. There should be ads with Obama spelling out exactly what he'll do for Americans in simple sound bites.

    McCain honors McCain

    McCain puts McCain first, he put himself first when he was captured, he put himself first when he left his wife, this is McCain's pattern.
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    Yeah, he's no hero, he's a piece of garbage.
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    As long as the tire keeps swinging, the Corporate Media will continue to do John McCain's bidding.

    The crap that George Bush has thrown at the fan has not yet hit the fan blades. His mess will be one that the next entire generation or two will spend their time cleaning up.
  • MNUSA · 1 year ago
    McCain has sold his soul (if he ever had one) to win this election. Does that scare anyone but me? He has also done 180 degree spins on so many issues. How do voters know where the real John McCain stands?
  • 123akennedy · 1 year ago
    Great link Cowboyneok, everyone should check it out. I hadn't seen the Daily Kuz site, that't even better than what I saw, only a few snapshots. But they said that they went around with a counter and had in excess of 1400 people which was almost double the pro Palin rally across town. And that didn't count the protesters across the street. Apparently she ain't so loved as the repuks like to say she is.. I understand the liberal talk radio show up calls her Gov. Gump. I wonder why.
  • sukabi1 · 1 year ago
    Hey, remember the Great German Weiner / Fudge Fest McCain had a couple of months ago??? He apparently either doesn't like women reporters, or maybe it's the WSJ he doesn't like... ignoring and dissing reporters surely hasn't been winning him any brownie points... It took his girl Lindsey by surprise as well...

    it was the WSJ and their reporter he was dissing... here's the full tape.
  • hawkseye · 1 year ago
    Just another sleazy lie to cover up other sleazy lies and McSame's age.
  • ImpureScience · 1 year ago
    Isn't that sort of like someone who commits a dreadful crime because they want to become famous? I don't think that explanation has ever been used successfully as a defense.
  • OleHippieChick · 1 year ago
    Yeah, that's the ticket, Johnnie. Uh huh.
    What a giant load of crap, what cheap bu$hian reason creep.
    They just got done saying they took the dirtbag route b/c Obama didn't agree to the town halls. WTF? Did they realize just now how immature THAT sounded?WTF?

    Seesmic video reply from Disqus.
  • FauxReal · 1 year ago
    Sadly, it worked. The public may say they want focus on the issues but they don't. They respond to the sleeze not to the issues.

    If McCain prevails after the filth his campaign has put out, can you imagine how disgusting future camapigns will be? And this is from the man who was the subject of one of the most reprehensible smears in political history. Now he goes even lower.

    John McCain hs sold his soul for this election.
