Barack Obama's campaign is up this afternoon with a new TV ad trying to debunk John McCain and Sarah Palin's bid to be mavericks.
"They call themselves mavericks. Whoa. Truth is they're anything but," the announcer says in the spot.
It then argues that seven of McCain's top 10 aides are lobbyists, and that he voted with President Bush 90 percent of the time. The spot also says that Palin supported the infamous "Bridge to Nowhere" in Alaska before opposing it as governor.
"Politicians lying about their records? You don't call that maverick, you call it more of the same," the announcer concludes.



Get up in dat azz Obama! The Rethugs will not steal another election on Obama's watch. No way, no how, no Senile Senator Citizen and Attack Pit Bull Barracuda Wearing an Empty Suit...with lipstick.

So Obama and Biden both vote for the "Bridge to Nowhere" as wells as millions more in CONGRESSIONAL earmarks, and Sarah Palin is somehow to blame?
Since when did mayors and governors become responsible for Federal Government (mis)appropriations?
Man-up Obama. You too, Biden
It won't be stolen. It will be handed to them, gladly, by legions of intelligent (and literate), typically undecided and disinterested citizens of voting age who realize that empty rhetoric of the bat-eared pied piper of Chicago has been perfectly pitched to the finely tuned political understanding of legions of less literate, questionably intelligent, typically first time voters who think they have had a vision of some Utopian world where words actually have some metaphysical property to make everything better. Understanding that the fate of this nation is in the balance, we must be ever vigilant against the hard truth that one can never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers. Having voted for the Democratic candidate in the more than several elections I have had the privilege to participate in I can say that I am once again voting for the best man in the race. The difference is that this time he is a Republican... of sorts. He is actually more a ... what's the word here... uh - maverick - yeah... that's it.
republican liars, lying. and their blind moronic minions repeating their filthy lies on message boards. lies, more lies, and still more lies. that's what mcliar and his granddaughter, miss alaska runner up, are letting loose on the american people. don't dump moose droppings on my head and tell me it's raining. you filthy rethugs have taken this country to the brink of ruin and you don't get to say "we want a do-over." off w/ their heads!
The real Richard Brautigan died several years ago. You sir are no Richard Brautigan. If he would have been interested in this at all, he certainly wouldn't have supported this pack of liars. Shame on you.
You go Obama! Expose their lies!!
"So Obama and Biden both vote for the "Bridge to Nowhere" as wells as millions more in CONGRESSIONAL earmarks, and Sarah Palin is somehow to blame?"
Maybe they did, maybe they didn't. My guess is you don't know either, but this all besides the point.
Sarah Palin is blamed for LYING about fighting the bridge to nowhere. And she took the money even when the bridge wasn't built. She also had a lobbyist especially for her little town, that got her town more earmarks per capita than any other city in Alaska. When she does this, and then claims to have a history of fighting earmarks this makes her a Liar.
McCain's a maverick? Really?
If he was a real maverick, he'd have given the VP nod to the #1 person he wanted, Joe Lieberman.
Instead, he caved in to the powerful pressures within his party.
Sorry, that's not my difinition of a maverick...sounds more like a puppet to me.
Cynic of a woman Sarah Palin is now trying to deceive the Nation and make the Bridge to Nowhere lead to the White House!
,
And, bet you, she is reasoning that that it's God's Will!
.
What a lunatic. God, please save us from her.
The maverick that John McCain was, is no more – that was history. We need to move forward, to look forward to real change.
There is so much that McCain simply does not understand. He's so out of touch with the American people. He's close-minded, backward thinking, and indicative of more of the same.
Focus on Obama"s inspiration and leadership to take us into real change.
America, we are better than these last eight years! This election is our chance to revive and relive the American promise that ordinary Americans can pursue and reach their dreams".
