OK, so the Dems are phony. Isn't the Religious Right support of McCain, and for that matter any wholehearted conservative support of McCain phony, as well?

Get to the real issue here.

Elrod, if the ad gets any traction at all, the GOP will trot it out again after the convention. I wish Sen. Clinton had won. She's a more compelling and experienced politician than Sen. Obama, who has spent all of his short Senate career on the road, grabbing for the next rung on the ladder. At least Clinton had 5 or 6 years where she was in D.C. getting used to her new Senate role. I'm still disappointed by the choices in November. Hard for me to get excited about either Obama or Sen. McCain.

I honestly don't understand this strategy by McCain. It's a big media buy that doesn't really raise new questions; he's already castigated Obama for being a “celebrity.” And calling Democrats “tax-and-spend liberals” is not exactly a new tactic. I suppose the egregious lie at the heart of it is newsworthy, but even that's not all that new. John McCain pissed away all his honor and dignity earlier this summer.

Then you add the fact that people are focused on the Olympics, plus two new events – Edwards' affair and war in Russia-Georgia – and this ad, with its money goes down the hole. Oh, and the conventions haven't taken place yet, so nobody is paying attention. Remember, past August attacks from the GOP happened after the DNC met in July. I guess McCain has to spend his pre-convention money some way.

From Chris's link:

"The John McCain of 2000 wouldn't vote for this John McCain".

Well said.

Have you seen Obama's response? Here's what those same Dem's have said more recently:

A Limbaugh quote on TMV? That's a new low.

As for Hillary's words being used by the R's, that was expected and only goes to show how much in lockstep the D's are NOT as compared to the R's – which is to say, the D's are indeed the larger tent.

Republicans using the democrat’s own words against them?

Unfair!

Damn you, Karl Rove!

As Rush Limbaugh once said: “Democrats don’t mind if you lie about them, it’s when you tell the truth that they get really upset”.
