Has anyone see these ads by the McCain camp on TV? I find them to be kinda puzzling, like what are they smoking over there at the McCain camp...

The Celebrity one does nothing but point out the truth. I mean, you give any German free brats and beer and they'll scream whatever name you want them to.

Trying to link Obama to Brittney Spears and Paris Hilton was a bit over the top though. QUOTE I just don't know how people can't see through his phoniness... the man hardly had the credentials to lead this country. This IS a valid concern. And if the McCain campaign would put more focus on this area, I'd be more inclined to listen to him. But thus far, I haven't seen anything but the same old tired Republican attacks. Obama doesn't support our troops, he's in league with "liberal hollywood", he plays the race card (apparently it's wrong of Obama to mention that he's black), and he's a flip flopper. We've heard it all before. I think the public's tiring of attack politics and will punish McCain at the polls if he keeps it up. If McCain wants to win the election, he needs to prove that he's the elder statesman that he is (or should be), and not just by making campaign ads pointing it out. Simply saying that someone's inexperienced can be too easily turned into saying that they're new blood who will change things (which Obama has done). McCain needs to prove to the country that his policies are superior to Obama's, which I don't think he's done. -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM) Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

I don't think he wasn't really "linking" Obama to them, he was just demonstrating how this shouldn't be a popularity contest and that people can be popular but still have no real substance. |

That is a possibility, and such wouldn't be politically wrong. I think it's a bit nuanced for a 30 second campaign ad though. But then I suppose the 30 second campaign ad is a pretty poor way to convey much more than "tough on crime" or "will show big business who's boss." It's too bad that they're so damn effective. -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM) Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!
