New McCain-RNC Radio Ads Use "Bitter" Comment, Voters' Suspicions Of Obama

Two new joint McCain-Palin/Republican National Committee radio ads surfaced Tuesday morning in Montana, where the RNC also plans to start broadcasting television ads on Wednesday -- a sign of the state's new competitiveness in the presidential race. Both of Tuesday's radio ads suggest that Barack Obama does not understand America.

In one of the new spots, legendary country singer Hank Williams Jr. pounces on the months-old "bittergate" controversy.

"When Barack Obama said folks like you and me were bitter, and clinging to religion, I knew he just doesn't understand small town America," Bocephus says, adding: "We love our God, and we love our guns, 'specially handed down from our grandfathers. And we resent it when liberals like Obama question our way of life. Don't be bitter, vote McCain."

The ad then diverts into a 30-second slam on "congressional liberals" -- a subject shift that makes the RNC's expenditure on the ad legal. A voiceover artist accuses these liberals of wanting to increase spending by nearly $1 trillion while "rais[ing] taxes on folks making $42,000 a year" to pay for it.

"Congressional liberals call it taxing the rich. We call it out of touch. No wonder they criticize our values, but expect us to accept theirs. Congressional liberals, out of touch with our America."

The second ad also tries to capitalize on any latent suspicions about Obama. A female voice, backed by an ominous minor-key piano melody, says, "Barack Obama says he'll spread your wealth around. Here's Obama's plan: First Obama raises your taxes. Then he spends nearly a trillion dollars on new government programs. Spreading the wealth means government gets bigger, special interests grow fatter, while your paycheck gets leaner. More for big government, less for you. Just as you suspected, Barack Obama's wrong for you."

Then the spot diverts into another attack on "congressional liberals."

The ads started airing on radio Tuesday morning, according to an industry source who provided them to the Huffington Post.

Bush Orders DOJ to Probe Ohio Voter Registrations

In a déjà vu moment from Campaign 2006, President George W. Bush again is asking his Attorney General to launch an investigation into the registration of hundreds of thousands of new voters, many of whom are expected to vote Democratic.

Bush forwarded to Attorney General Michael Mukasey a Republican request that he intervene in the battleground state of Ohio to force 200,000 new voters to either verify the information on their registration forms or cast provisional ballots, which are often thrown out after the voter leaves the polling place.

If your vote is stolen you know who to sue. Impeach Bush!

[foxfan]

If the registrations were done properly and the voters are legit, then there's nothing to worry about. Right?

[standup2them]

Vote! Vote today and vote vote and vote again. If you have problems get a hold of the DNC right away!

[foxfan]

"Vote! Vote today and vote vote and vote again" This is why there's an investigation.

[Captain-America]

I love our Country and its citizens.

Here we are allowed to openly debate the issues and the ramifications of our decisions.

I sincerely hope that you will cast your vote in favor of McCain-Palin.

Look, some of you will vote for Sens. Obama and Biden. But that would be a huge mistake.

Please reconsider and cast your vote to put the Maverick in the White House who will take an ax to pork barrel spending and set us on a good course.

[standup2them]

We love our country and what it used to be. Honest government. Vote for Obama/Biden the right and smart men to be ready on day one! Vote for change and a brighter future for the common ground we all stand for, America! Obama/Bide­n.08" Lady Liberty is crying!!!

[foxfan]

Honest government? Now there's an oxymoron.

[JXJASON]

Are you serious, Captain-America???

McCain and Palin are incompetent. Neither of them has said how they will solve the problems we have in the US. All I see and hear and read on the news and in the Republican ads is hate, hate, fear, fear, more BS than I have ever seen from any candidate in the past 40 years.

McCain and Palin would ruin us all.

I already voted for OBAMA/BIDEN 08. They are winning this election. Here in PA., there are thousands turning out to volunteer for SENATOR OBAMA AND SENATOR BIDEN. My girlfriend and I are campaigning with them.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

[Captain-America]

I have to admit, I really like these ads.

Hank Williams Jr. is a legend like his dad.

And, beware of tax and spend, it will get you in the end.

[boing007]

Hey Captain-America,

Hank Williams was great. His son? Not too much. How about Doc Watson? Now we're talking turkey.

[scooperss]

As opposed to the republican­-------bor­row and spend?

[scooperss]

and spend.

[Sundalecat]

This is disgusting. If McCain wins congress should pass nothing of his or Palins. This election is being run correctly by the Obama campagne and sleazy by the McCain campagne. People who make a quarter of million dollars should be ashamed of themselves if they vote for McCain it shows nothing but greed. We will end up in the same situtiation that we are in now. They have now taken this party and turned into the pray as you go party, and no one should pay for government services party. The Bush/McCain plan want to keep the war in Iraq going no matter what. Talk about big government spenders these people take the cake.

Yelling get's you no attention here.

[FOREVERHIKING]

http://usawakeup.org/ussa.htm AMERICA IS A COUNTRY OF OPPORTUNITY. AMBITION AND OPPORTUNITY WILL BE ELIMINATED IF OBAMA IS ELECTED.HO­W MUCH SENSE DOES IT MAKE TO TAKE MONEY FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE SUCCESSFUL AND GIVE IT TO PEOPLE WHO WILL NOT DO THINGS TO BETTER THEMSELVES? I CAME FROM A POOR FAMILY. MY MOM A SINGLE, WORKING MOTHER. NO EXTRA MONEY. I PUT MYSELF THROUGH COLLEGE AND HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL, BECAUSE I HAVE APPLIED MYSELF. THE ULTIMATE OUTCOME OF THIS HORRIBLE PLAN IS THAT THE PROFESSIONALS OF THE COUNTRY WILL QUIT! WHY WORK IF I WILL HAVE EVERYTHING SOMEONE ELSE HAS REGARDLESS OF WHAT I DO?

[Diogenis]

Caps? No one reads them.

[Mike169]

This is absolutely absurd but what else can be expected when you wash your brain with Fox News.

[jadedat51]

How, oh how, could McCain assume that anyone would want to work with him, IF he were to win this election, after all his bitter, negative comments/ads?

He just doesn't get it.

Go vote NOW! I've been phone banking for the Obama campaign, and that's the main message they are trying to get out.
The more Dems that have their vote in before election day, the less chance the election can be successfully rigged, and they are trying to do just that.
We need landslide numbers, and we cannot take it for granted for a second.
If you vote early and encounter a problem, you still have time to fix it, but not if you wait.
Obama voters, don't be complacent, don't be confident. Be vigilant and proactive. You know the kind of people we are up against. They will stop at nothing.

[marthlois]

They're really hit our guy hard in PA. Every news site I visit has different ads, etc. being run there. Hate it - but we'll prevail!
