"Look at this poor man who once might have been able to call himself a maverick having to play super-conservative so that he can get elected"
So what is it that has changed my pity to downright loathing?
Two recent campaign ads which lie in extremely big ways.
First there is the "lipstick" ad which I can no longer link you to because it has been pulled from Youtube for a very valid reason. The ad is very simple. It starts with Sarah Palin and her infamous quote about pit bulls, hockey moms and lipstick. Then it shows footage of Obama where he says something to the effect of, 'if you put lipstick on a pig it's still a pig'.
OK now that alone would have been a fairly standard ad. Sure it takes Obama's statement which was in reference to McCain's policies out of context and makes it seem as thought it was a straight shot at Mrs. Palin but oh well that's par for the Republican course. The real problem is the third clip they show. In this clip CBS anchor Katie Couric says:
"One of the continued lessons of that campaign is the continued and accepted role of sexism in American life."
The ad makes it seem as though she is speaking about Obama's campaign. It makes you think that Couric thinks that sexism is a major part about the Obama campaign. Sadly that is not the case. Here's where the quote actually comes from:
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/06/11/couric-on-the-media-and-clinton/
Yep that's right, she was talking about Hillary Clinton's campaign and how it was continually attacked on sexist grounds.
Where does the Republican Party get off? They were responsible for SO many of the sexist attacks against Hillary Clinton and now all of a sudden THEY are crying foul because this time it's about THEIR candidate? Fuck you Republican Party!
And now onto the second odious ad.
This ad implies that Obama is in favor of "comprehensive sex education" for Kindergartners then follows up with, "Learning about sex before learning to read? Barack Obama. Wrong on education. Wrong for your family."
A bald face lie.
"But the legislation allowed local school boards to teach "age-appropriate" sex education, not comprehensive lessons to kindergartners, and it gave schools the ability to warn young children about inappropriate touching and sexual predators.
"Republican Alan Keyes tried to use Obama's vote against him in the 2004 U.S. Senate race. At the time, Obama spoke about wanting to protect young children from abuse. He made clear then that he was not supporting teaching kindergartners about explicit details of sex.
"Obama spokesman Bill Burton said Tuesday of McCain's ad: "It is shameful and downright perverse for the McCain campaign to use a bill that was written to protect young children from sexual predators as a recycled and discredited political attack against a father of two young girls.""

Please, please, please vote for Barack Obama this November. We cannot allow such Bush/Rove scum to continue to pollute the White House for another four years. If you cannot bring yourself to vote for Obama that is fine, vote for Ron Paul or Bob Barr.
Anyone is better than John McCain.
I'm Craig Duffy and I approve this message.

The “lipstick” ad is brilliant, you know why? It reveals the sexism that exists on the Obama ticket and party. Also, I have to say, Obama probably wasn’t referring to Palin when he made the pig/lipstick comment, but the crowd sure did pick up on what he was saying. They knew, what he meant even if Obama didn’t mean it. It shows his slowness of mind that he didn’t stop and clarify what he was talking about. The cheers from the crowd prove that the crowd thought of Palin and not Policy. When McCain said the same phrase with Hil Clinton, all knew that he meant Policy and not Clinton, the crowd didn’t laugh out loud. That is the difference.
The sex-ed ad, brilliant as well and true. I read the legislation last night and boy oh boy, it just ain’t to protect a young’in from perverts. It is a lot more, it is actually sexual indoctrination for ages K -12. and the topics are for a MUCH older audience than five year olds. Unless you want to put and strap-on on Elmo. But then I think some people on the left would go to jail for that one. Protection from pedophiles is already taught in the school system in two ways. The “stranger talk” kindda like the one that went down in Kindergarten Cop. And secondly by telling kids to not let anyone touch you where your bathing suit covers you. And if it does happen tell an adult or your teacher. That is all that five year olds need to know. They don’t need to know about appropriate genital touching, lesbians, homos, oral, or HIV. They need to be concerned about building blocks and not blow jobs. Obama is a socialist leftist and desperately trying to pull out of a sharp nose dive that he is now in. Palin is absolutely wonderful and the America people like her more that the community organizer. The Obama campaign has lost all momentum and will probably loose. DEAL WITH IT!!!! Politics are politics, it will get dirty… but that is just human nature, and especially the nature of a liberal democrat. In closing I just would like to say, Fuck Liberals Fuck Obama and Fuck che guevara
