Go ahead and defend the Bush Administration's stewardship.

Make a positive case for them.

The distortion part comes in when McCain “defines” $250,000 as $42,000.

ahh but you see there is no definition of middle class. Obama says if you make 250,000 dollars or more you are upper class. McCain says 5 million.

Therefore if you make 250,000 dollars Obama stated that you can expect a tax increase but in McCains world and lots of peoples worlds that is not upper class, that is middle class.

So inaccurate?

Depends on who is doing the defining.

Well, it is funny, but I still wish it was a funny video by some random person at YouTube and not an official campaign video. It's just going to continue the downward spiral of the campaigns.

Well said – I'm also disappointed that Obama has begun pushing negative ads, particularly the ad that insinuated that McCain gave political favors to Ralph Reed (and was thereby associated with Abramoff).

Neocon:

However I find it comical that Obama can unleash attack adds and its okay. When McCain claims Obama is a ROCK star its the end of the world and McCain should be hung… Id rather see this kind of adds then flat out distortions.

Sadly Obama has aired some negative ads, so it's now a question of the degree of negativity, but it seems clear that McCain's negative ads are primarily in the “flat out distortion” category that you mention, which seems like a truly vile way to run an election. Screaming “Obama will raise taxes on the middle class”, which is not only false but completely innacurate since Obama has proposed a middle class tax cut, and then claiming that Obama's stance on Iraq was a move to “put politics ahead of country” are simply wretched actions. Obama of course countered with the Ralph Reed ad mentioned above, which is also hitting below the belt, so sadly neither candidate can claim clean hands.

Thats funny. However I find it comical that Obama can unleash attack adds and its okay. When McCain claims Obama is a ROCK star its the end of the world and McCain should be hung.

The progressives really do have thin skins. I find the above add funny and I hope it starts a new trend in advertising. Id rather see this kind of adds then flat out distortions.

Quoting McCain accurately is hardball politics at its worst.

(Ignore any second home he has in Washington, DC)

Hah. I would say something like stop picking on the wrinkly old white haired dude but you might mistake that for Joe Biden. I guess Alzheimers will be the main focus of this years debates.
