Democrats Launch Ad Targeting McCain

The announcement got buried in the avalanche of news coverage ahead of Tuesday's Democratic primary in Pennsylvania. But on the same day that Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton finished another lap in their slog for the nomination, the national Democratic Party launched its first television ad against the man one of them will face in November.

The 30-second spot, which will air for three weeks on CNN and MSNBC and targets John McCain's economic views, reflects a growing sense among Democratic leaders that the prolonged nomination fight is giving Senator McCain a free pass for too long.

The media & internet can give MC CAIN all the air time they/he want. But it ain't gonna change the people's mind. They're tired of all this SAME stuff ! ! !

Memory loss is usually the first sign of Alzheimer's disease. Having some short-term memory loss in your 60s and 70s is common, and some people with mild memory problems will go on to develop Alzheimer's disease.

I'm just saying...

[speakingtruth2power]

Drug use and alcohol dependence can't help either.

[spyda]

It is sad and scary that they are in denial.This administration is definitely the worst in history for anybody with any common sense and its scary that there are still peoplpe supporting Bush and even considering putting John McCain in his place.Other than people wake up,Lord have mercy is all I can think of to say.

[speakingtruth2power]

Kellygirl has an interesting point about trolls becoming the faux rioters at Denver,

shouting "the whole world is watching!" Just like the staged white man riot in the

Florida elections, these posers think that they can riot and protest, pretending to

have principles. The whole world will recognize their hypocrisy but NOT our MSM.

[dinomak]

What about our new dilemma. North Korea and Syria in kahoots!! Watch out Israel.

[AbdulScarface]

Obviously you are just learning about it. It happened months ago. For a dilemma it's not new.

[Chiang]

Watch out, Syria.

[NetProphet]

John Kerry had said - back in '04 - that North Korea's the one to watch, not Iraq.

But of course nobody listened!

[kellygrrrl]

I think it's safe to assume that
no matter what
there is going to be mayhem at the Convention
Rush is inciting his puppets to riot in the streets
and pose themselves as Clinton supporters

it is not going to be pretty

[JulieSA]

He's not telling Republicans to riot; he's hoping that Dems will riot. I think it's very wrong of him to wish for violence, but he's right that lefties need very little incentive to get violent--they do it all the time, and if they do it again in a big way, it'll turn off centrist voters.

[AbdulScarface]

You guys really think anybody take instructions from this guy. Come be real. All those guys take their supposed influence to seriously. It's one thing to listen and agree with is views, it's another to face incarceration for such a character.

From the homepage of R-68:

"R-68 agrees with the proposition, POTESTAS IN POPULO, "all power comes from the people." What stands between the people and power are the party machines. The parties were devised as a means to represent the people. Today they represent nobody, not even party members, but only party bureaucracy. The people have been left without appropriate institutions for their representation. We intend to create those institutions!

Join us in the streets of Denver as we resist a two-party system that allows imperialism and racism to continue unrestrained. "

You trolls can't even come up with good "librul speak".

[redraymonds]

o love this add makes mccain look like a fool

[kellygrrrl]

McCain makes himself look like a fool on a daily basis

shame the media is sweeping it under the rug

The DNC and MoveOn should be putting out ads every other day with all the misstatements of McCain -- there is no shortage of material there

[NoSocialism.com]

Come on... he said those statements back when the economy was pretty good. You guys DO realize that it was only in February that we actualy started LOSING jobs, 52 months went by with positive Job reports.

[Pixie12]

"Come on... he said those statements back when the economy was pretty good. You guys DO realize that it was only in February that we actualy started LOSING jobs, 52 months went by with positive Job reports."

No socialism ... are you freaking kidding me? What state do YOU live in? I live in Michigan and let me tell you what -- it's pretty much sucked in this state for years. We are on the BOTTOM of the employment pile. So spare me the comments that it's only been since February that we've actually started losing jobs. What a joke.

[AbdulScarface]

I guess last month was pretty good because that's exactly when those statements where made.

[madmaggie57]

I love this DNC ad against McCain! It reveals him as the out-of-touch panderer that he is...

[crease]

This man is so out of touch with America It`s scary.

[kellygrrrl]

he's out of touch with Earth at this point.

[DFDoerr]

"Democrats launch ad targeting McCain"

Not much bang for the buck there. I mean, how much damage can an Ad do? Unless it was one of those placards. That could hurt. But McCain has secret service protection now, so it better be speedy or stealthy.

[Tonyreg]

I'm going to go shopping for I really need after President Obama is sworn in. I'm not going to spend one more discretionary cent supporting the Bush administration's economy. I'll just wait for what I'd like to buy or I'll get it through an "IOU in kind".

[haboob]

i am hoarding rice because i can not eat hope to survive

[iluvsam]

The ad has good content, but is a little to soft for my taste. I really want to see this guy hammered.

[CarlsV]

They're coming ...

[H2O]

e everybody " It cost some money to be an honest caring Country " Or would it????
If the rich-greedy was honest and caring in the first place " They wouldn"t have the country in this situation " Now they"re going to cry around " and want a taxpayer bail-out for their greed.
Countrywide and other place " run the scam " buy a house " or mortgage your house " and in a couple of years we will flat out steal it and sell it again, Companies all over drove down worker wages with cheap slave labor " Energy and oil " speculators have drove up the prices of everything " With their laugh at America-the-world " drive-up the prices speculation no reg rule the world manidestos.
Whatever happened to respecting the fundamental foundation of the Founding Fathers " Freedom and justice for all " Not this " pay us what we want " and work for cheap slave labor " Otherwise " we will simply destroy America " with cheap slave labor and even take your house from you.
The American dream is who " The rich-greedy say can have the American dream.
The Founding Fathers " Have to be ashamed " The corpo manidesto elitists " Have Destroyed their dream " Truly God has damned " The Founding Fathers - American dream

[grinreaper]

hehe
this is the best the dems got??

[CarlsV]

Still enough to wipe the floor with you fools!

[grinreaper]

yea right..hehe
aint even got started on shrilary and nobomba carl

[BronxBorn]

No, not the best, just the first.

I would make an ad asking how a guy getting 58,000 a year because he has 100% disability, is fit to be POTUS.

[Chiang]

McCain is not certified to have a 100% disability. His disability pension is 100% tax -free.

[BreakingnewsJustintime]

Yep.

[CarlsV]

This is hilarious ...

Only a republican would think using someone owns words against them is swiftboating!

[BreakingnewsJustintime]

We have no problem with swiftboating.

By the way, thank you for accurately defining the term.

[CarlsV]

You plan on voting for that old loser bj?

[FirstShirt]

Yep.

What have you got? A talking head with no executive experience...at all. And Billary. No need to comment.

[BreakingnewsJustintime]

That's no way to refer to the next POTUS.

[hope]

I know this is off topic, forgive me, but has anyone 'seen' Thalia/ Danbury?

I hadn't seen a post from her in quite some time, but I never can keep up with the name changes and bannings around here.

[AdLib]

I read someone's post that Danbury was banned. Enough new idjits here, any one of which could be Return of the Living Dead Brain Matter.

[BreakingnewsJustintime]

She's working as a volunteer moderator and taking the opportunity to settle scores with the Obama supporters who drove her from this blog.

[speakingtruth2power]

Full of Bushit as usual!
