2. LOL
That is the most petty piece of crap I've seen all election season! Now it's time to call McCain out with the Keating 5. He wants to play hardball, I say hit him where it hurts.

4. I think the McBush campaign is treading in dangerous waters.
Their supporters might get tired of ads that only sling mud instead of ones that introduce his policies. Or they might wonder if he has anything positive to say about his campaign and what he plans on doing for Americans in the future. I surely don't know, except to expect 4 more years of the same as the last 8. That's some platform to run on.

22. His policies?
BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAOJIOUVJNWPOIVUBAAAAHHHHH!

Here's Republican policy:

WE LOVE WAR.
WE LOVE MONEY.
WE HATE TAXES . . . except for war, which for us means aggresively (no matter if it's called for or not) bombing some two-bit nation to the stone age every so often so we can prove how strong our military is .. . that's basically OK.
WE THINK ENABLING THE RICH WILL LEAD TO PROSPERITY.
WE THINK OF THE LITTLE GUY AS A USEFUL IDIOT.

Except for the droolingest 19%er jackass, everyone with a brain stem knows this. Anything else the Repukes tell you would be a straight-up lie. But it's not like they can actually come out and say that. Nor can they use the Bewsh administration's reign of error as a proving ground that their policies worked, especially in economically disastrous 2008 . . . and pretty much any year in his term prior. So it's not like they really have a choice except to mudsling and swiftboat.

There was an article in NewsPeaak . . . cover story, I might add . . . called "What Bush Got Right". I'm opening expecting blank pages, but lo and behold, here's a giant defense of his "legacy buildin'" over the past year, in regards to Iraq, dealing with Iran and mending foreign policy with these two and other nations.

:wtf:

Then I'm thinking "Holy Christ, IS there no low our idiot media will slither to?"

I'm thinking with a potential scandal and bad-vote-ridden loser like McClown, we haven't yet SEEN the depths they'll crawl to. Stay tuned.

6. That's a fantastic observation...
...I refuse to believe that this will convince many Hillary Supporters to vote for him.

26. I can't see it MOVING many
But there are evidently a lot of women who supported Hillary just because of the chromosome count, and don't know or care anything about the policies. That truly is an insult to Hillary. I don't see this ad changing many minds.

But is this even an ad, or is it just 5 minutes work by some staffer at McCain HQ in the middle of the night to put it up on YouTube? Are they actually running this anywhere besides YouTube?

McCain is really taking a big chance by being so negative so early. People tend to get sick of that bullshit after a few weeks. The negatives are most effective the last 6 weeks. We're still 12 weeks out.

5. As we knew the pugs would and will continue to do
Hillary will continue to hurt Obama. I'm pretty sure she knew her comments could and would be used by her friend John McCain should she not get the nomination. I hope she and Bill are happy. Regardless of the outcome they will do well since they are very well off.

7. Fortunately, .....
....for Bill and Hillary, there is still some time for redemption. They will be featured @ the Convention, and I hope they put all their emphasis on helping restore the Democratic Party back to its leadership in DC.

19. I just have this awful feeling Hillary doesn't give a hoot in the rain what happens to the
Democratic Party -- that's one of the reasons I couldn't support her.

I heard a none-too-bright sounding woman on NPR this morning actually saying she's "pouting" because Hillary didn't get the nom, and is seriously considering voting for McCain.

I wonder what on earth these people are using for brains. Hard for me to believe another hundred years of war in Iraq actually sounds good to anybody.

I desperately hope Hillary will urge her supporters to vote Dem, but I wouldn't bet on it. Just a bad feeling.

11. And the Clintonistas can't figure out...
...why she wasn't picked.

Maybe it has something to do with months of ads like this.

13. This ad was already in the can to be released whether or
not she was chosen. All they did was change the title.

15. you can only imagine a SIMILAR ad if she WAS the VP nominee---->
sadly, comments like these were reviewed by the OBAMA staff in choosing his running mate...
EVEN THEY UNDERSTOOD THESE WOULD BE USED AGAINST THE DEMS.... if she were the nominee it would get real ATTENTION

now it will only hang around for a few weeks

20. It's Her Due!
After all, she's made a career out of fighting Republican legislation and WINNING! I can't think of even a single victory just now, but I'm sure there were MANY.

21. Can you believe that Obama guy actually wanting to vet her before considering her for V.P.!?!
After all, she's been thoroughly vetted by the republicans for years! She and Bill couldn't possibly have anything to hide. I just know they'll be releasing their library donor list any day now and won't that guy have egg on his face!

28. Had to watch it a couple of times
and what I'm taking away from it is that Hillary haters from all camps aren't gonna be motivated to vote for McCain based on this ad. They hate her - and so will discount everything she says.

29. Just wait!
What knuckle-dragging Repug is gonna stay and watch instead of getting up and fetching the 14th beer when they see a big pic of Hillary on the TV with the words "She won millions of votes...."? They'll be long gone before the punch line of this joke.

And what are those that do stay to listen gonna think when Hillary herself trashes the ad?

God, McCain's PR people suck. What, are they 20-somethings? McCain may approve the ad, but he doesn't get it himself.
