Creepy Ads by A Deperate and Dishonorable Campaign

The creepiest part of all these McCain attack ads is the kookoo fairy tale music they tack on at the end. Truly chilling.

Get all your friends to vote for Obama, even if they don't care or don't necessarily like him. It's too important, we CANNOT let McCain Palin near the White House!

AN HISTORIC LANDSLIDE is needed, now more than ever.

Well...

It's the defense of a cornered rat. Hiss, snarl, and say nothing of substance. Just attack repeatedly.

I don't think it's going to work anymore.

"Is there any bottom to the McCain campaign? Seriously: Is there? "

donno about that, but would be happy to see the end of Bill Clinton shooting off his mouth in a way that hurts the election chances of fellow Dems in this critical election. (& yes, that includes his stupid comments that hurt Hillary's campaign earlier this year.)

koo koo fairy tale music

Ha ha, i've also been creeped out by that music, but couldn't have described it so aptly.

Talk about a tone deaf campaign.

Silly People, It's ALWAYS Bill Clinton's fault

Don't you know by now that even if it began on the Reagan watch, it's always Bill Clinton's fault?!? Living in Repugnant Republican OC you get this all the time from people. Fox News, CNN, Rush, O'Reilly, our local OC Register, all are quick to blame the Clintons-especially 'devil spawn' 'Slick Willy' for all their ills. According to those who subscribe to this logic, Saint Ron Reagan never made a bad economic decision, rebuilt the military, and made life so much easier for the middle class....Slick Willy on the other hand, gave us NAFTA, took jobs out of the US, tied the hands of corporate America....even though Slick Willy gave Newt Gingrich and the REPUBLICAN controlled congress everything he wanted and then more.

Somehow they forget that Newtie was running the show with his 'Contract On America', I mean Contract For America. They're all to blame. WE need to tell them how to fix it and VOTE them out in the next few weeks if they don't.

creepy....

McCain's campaign gets creepier and creepier and more out of touch every single day. This is a man who thinks we are stupid or he never would have picked Palin and now he thinks he might pull an upset on the wings of a shotgun wedding of Palin's daughter. Is this a soap opera? What a foolish man.

need a little help here

I'm not sure what's wrong with this ad. Could someone explain it? If Bush Sr. had said something damaging to McShameless, I'm sure it would find its way into an Obama ad.

Clinton said what he said...was it taken out of context or was he talking about something else?

Not arguing, just not understanding why this one is so bad.

He Spelled "Rein" Right!

This is the first time in the last several years that I can recall seeing the phrase "rein in" spelled correctly. Today, everybody writes "reign in". Like, you know, to rule like a king or something.

That just shows you how old McCain is. His first car was probably an oat-burner.

NOW they use the term Mr President

Throughout Clinton's terms the Republics did their best to refuse to call him President. Now that they want to use him, they suddenly call him Mr. President.

"Is there any bottom to the McCain campaign? Seriously: Is there?"

No.

Does anyone notice the dates?

Does anyone notice the dates in the ad? They're all from the previous week - as if to say this housing crisis and foreclosings had just begun this month! Hello, McCain Campaign- we Americans have been struggling for nearly two years with the unregulated greed of sub-prime mortages!!! To re-write history now is atrocious. Let us hope other people notice and call them out on their lies. May truth set us free.

I didn't realize Democrats were so powerful about something

When Republicans controlled Congress in 1999 the Democrats stopped reform. Subsequently, when Republicans *really* controlled both Congress and the White House the Democrats kept on doing it! Darn those Democrats!

McCain is dishonest!

My goodness how low does this man stoop? How on earth can you want a man who lies so much to be your president? He even lied about his Vietnam experience. What with the incompetance of Palin and the lying of McCain, I don't think America can afford to vote for them.

I think you will be doomed if you do. Obama has Abe Lincoln calm and intelligence.

McBain Using Billy

To what depths will McBain actually stoop now I wonder? Blaming the housing market crisis on real estate agents? The investment banking problems on tellers? The gas price problems on bicycle riders? Man makes less and less sense as days get shorter and shorter.
