McCain says he's 'proud' of new TV ad

Beth, Denton, TX — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 18:19:43 GMT

...Sen. Joe Lieberman took a different tack, saying the ad simply compares the two candidates in a "creative" way and people should lighten up. "To some extent the appearance of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears -- people complain about it -- they should just relax and enjoy it," he said.

This sounds an awful lot like a quote by Clayton Williams, who ran for governor of Texas in the 1990. His quote--regarding rape--was: "If it's inevitable, just relax and enjoy it." Disgusting.

Now I read that this same Clayton Williams has raised over $300,000 for John McCain's campaign:

So we're supposed to "enjoy" another campaign slamming our candidate for his popularity around the world? Strange, twisted logic.

"We think Americans need to know that I believe that we should base this campaign on what we can do for Americans here at home and how we can make America safe and prosperous. And that is the theme of our campaign."

So how is attacking Obama telling us what you'll do to make us safe and prosperous? Won't work this time, guys.

He should be. The left never could stand the light of day.

Brendan D, Niles, IL — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 18:20:45 GMT

Umm... Has the good senator from the State of Arizona actually seen the ad in question? 'Cause his response leads me to believe he hasn't.

At this point, I don't think it's inappropriate to wonder if McCain even KNOWS what in the heck is going on with his campaign.

I am appalled, but not surprised, that this was the next step in the McCain Camp bag of tricks. It was inevitable and we all knew it, as soon as McCain took on Rove acolytes to run his campaign.

Anyone remember this comment from Cindy McCain?

McCAIN: And what you're going to see is–I believe, we're going to see a great debate, which the American public deserves, more importantly. None of this negative stuff, though. You won't see it come out of our side at all, because…

Curry: None of the negative stuff will come out of your side?

McCAIN: My husband is absolutely opposed to any negative campaigning at all.

Seems like a lifetime ago doesn't it?

Proud of ad? Yes, this is real presidential material.

Senator McCain, let us know when you want to talk about something really important. Like your voting record in Congress for the last 25 years. IN YOUR OWN WORDS. And please, be specific.

"All I can say is that we are proud of that commercial," he answered. "We think Americans need to know that I believe that we should base this campaign on what we can do for Americans here at home and how we can make America safe and prosperous. And that is the theme of our campaign."

Then start doing so and quit these BS ads!

Bill Austin, TX — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 18:22:11 GMT

The only problem J. Mac is that your commercial tells us nothing about what you think we should do at home to make us safe and prosperous. Let's see . . . one candidate spends week tackling the details of our economic crisis and the other spends week talking about Britney Spears. Hmmmm who should I take seriously? Who is acting like they could be the next president of the U.S.?

I doubt he's even seen the ad.

Just another nail in the coffin of his political campaign!

Elrod, Maryville, TN — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 18:25:18 GMT

Yes, and that ad gets right to the heart of what John McCain said. Oh, wait a minute, where was the part of the ad about making America safe and prosperous?

Not only is McCain sinking into Rove-ville. He's bad at it.

Jacie, New York — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 18:25:19 GMT

McCain's theme is about the Iraq war for heavens sake...He has no idea how to work to help the American people...a few months ago he said he had no experience with the economic policies of our nation - and he thinks HE would be a great leader??? Give me a break! I can say more, especially about the idiotic ad...but what good would it do...

Lorna, Klamath Falls, Oregon — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 18:25:28 GMT

I cannot believe the "Straight Talk Express" has stooped to these levels of nasty attack. Here we go again with "Swiftboating" the Democratic candidate. Why can't Republicans talk about their own solutions to America's problems without slamming the other candidate with lying and ridiculing ads? I hope that Americans are SICK of this kind of campaigning and CHANGE this!!!

Gretchen, NH — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 18:25:36 GMT

Has he seen the new ad? Because, if he has, what he apparently thinks that what we should do for Americans at home is to go negative and attack everyone else? Makes no sense.

Teri from Ohio — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 18:25:48 GMT

McCain graduated 894th out of 899 at Annapolis.

GIBBS on Morning Joe: "You know the last time I saw Britney Spears on stage with a politician, the guy looked a lot like John McCain, because that's who it was. It was John McCain."

"We desperately need a president who's smarter than the average American. And we desperately need a media willing to report the truth about candidates without trying to spin the story against them in a way that badly distorts reality". (John K Wilson – Huffington Post)

NObama — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 18:25:50 GMT

Obama graduated from law school, and then became a street organizer. Next he won a seat in the Illinois senate and voted 'present' on over 100 bills (nice judgement...uh...no comment). Then lost a bid to serve in the house, then became the junior US senator from the State of Illinois in the United States Senate.

Two years later, after passing 1 bill, he said "Hey, maybe I should be president."

It's easy to have good judgement when you never actually vote on anything.

No experience.
No solutions, only speeches.
No love of country.
No higher taxes.
No keeping his word.
No new kind of leader.

NOBAMA!

Yours Truly, NY — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 18:25:58 GMT

I can't stand the fact that McCain seems convinced it's ok to be so two-faced, and that the American public won't look right trough him.
He criticizes Obama for touring other countries during the campaign season when HE was the one who toured other countries first. He's probably already forgotten his trip to Canada, Colombia AND Mexico.

If you want to fight, fight clean. Your tactics are only tarnishing your already battered image, Senator.

He's proud of that comercial??!! That statement alone lets me know he has no honor or dignity, and most certainly not qualified to be POTUS. The old fool is truly mentally ill.

The ad is stupid and quite unstable for a veteran image. McCain appears to be someone's broken down grandfather sneaking upstairs to get a drink while no-one is paying attention.

CB, Hadley, NY — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 18:28:19 GMT

That sounds nice but I'm still waiting to hear substantive details from Senator McCain on how to "make us safe and prosperous" that passes the smell test. So far his policies seem eerily similar to what we've heard from Bush for the past 7 years and I'm certainly not feeling safer and I'm definitely not more prosperous.

New Independent — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 18:29:31 GMT

I can't believe he said that! He's PROUD of it? And he thinks Americans should know that he believes he should base this campaign on what he can do for Americans here at home and make America safe and prosperous? And that's his theme? What the heck did that commercial have to do with ANY of the above?!? Why aren't reporters following up their questions? I would have like to hear his answer to that. Where, in that stupid commercial, was anything stated as to how John McCain can supposedly fix things! Give me a break! P.S. Where are the good reporters?
