Spam and John McCain Run for President

It’s not a big secret that the Obama campaign is benefiting from bloggers like yours truly while running for President of the United States of America. It’s a bigger secret that John McCain is trying his best to thwart and sway opinion on independent blogs like this one with his spam message campaign. One thought comes to mind in the McSame campaign of politics, if you can’t sell your own message, then bash the hell out of your opponent. Check the link out here! I kid you not! I could not make this stuff up if I wanted to.

Over at the Gun Toting Liberal I found this interesting post with more points better than I could ever articulate…

Republican Candidate Admittedly Could Not Turn A Computer On A Few Weeks Ago But Has Now Learned How To Spam

The Washington Post’s Paul Farhi is reporting Senator McCain of Arizona Panama has now taken a page out of Communist China’s playbook by encouraging sympathizers to spam popular Liberal, Conservative, Moderate, and Other blogs with his “cut and paste” talking points — the most prolific of his spammers will accumulate “points” entitling them to prizes. In the one and ONLY direct link Señor McCain will ever receive by The Gun Toting Liberal™, click HERE to see for yourselves just how LOW Panama John will stoop to convince The People to endorse the prolonging of the Bush Oligarchy -slash- Police State versus the installation of the Barack Obama Nanny State. - Gun Toting Liberal

McCain is fighting a battle on the internet that he could never win. For one fact, most if not all bloggers have some form of spam protection to stop this kind of idiocy filling up our web pages. And the second fact is the point of argument that the Gun Toting Liberal made is the response to the post that would follow in the comment section. Empty discussion on what America needs in the next election for our President. John McCain is following the footsteps of the man he most despises and thinks the world still lives in the 70’s.

This election is going to be an Obama blow out against Bush and McCain will be the victim of playing the Bush game plan. Obama does not need to buy your votes, your support, or your hate. He is promising to change the status quo and McCain is selling more of the same last eight years. Hate, and anger is pretty much absent in the Obama for President campaign and for a reason, Barack Obama is not about looking back!

Ask yourself the same scenario and question that faced the Reagan Democrats, is your life better now than it was before George W Bush? Answer that question honestly to yourself and you will find that you simply can not vote for McCain. McCain is mirroring Bush in this race and he can not hide from that fact. Voting your wallet is yet another testament to the political question of “Is your life better now than it was before George W. Bush?” What did it cost you to fill the Chevy this week? Take in the fact that big oil has contributed millions to the McCain campaign when he changed his mind on offshore drilling and you see a pattern. McSame lives!

John McCain is not a bad person, he just isn’t the person our nation needs at this time in our lives as President of the United States of America.

Bring on the spammers Senator McCain, I don't normally delete any comments but if it is a copy and paste comment it will be deleted.

McCain Respectful Politics, Wink, Wink

Democrat’s should all be thankful to Senator McCain for wanting to run a clean Republican campaign without all the negativity and nastiness aimed at Senator’s Obama and Clinton. Not that Senator Obama does not have a few skeletons in his closet but it will be nice to see a Presidential campaign based on the issues instead of accusation of who stuck a wad of gum under which lunch table in high school.

Now that the North Carolina campaign is in full swing the television ads from all camps will be flying on the airwaves and we all know about those pesky privately funded advertisements. We all know that the candidates technically can not be held responsible for the actions of any politically active groups supporting their election bid for the White House. Wink, wink, wink!

We can’t hold John McCain liable for below the fray politics if it didn’t come from his campaign war chest or even his lips. Wink, wink, wink! Over at CNN they have this piece on John McCain and his very respectful campaign strategy and we should be truly thankful for his personal integrity on running an issue based election…

After McCain effectively clinched the Republican nomination, he called on his party to run a respectful, above-the-fray campaign.

But the ad, conceived by North Carolina Republicans, appears to defy that call.
"For 20 years, Barack Obama sat in his pew listening to his pastor," the TV ad says.

The ad then airs comments from Obama's pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who says: "And then wants us to sing 'God Bless America?' No, no, no. Not 'God Bless America,' God [expletive] America."

McCain's campaign released an e-mail he sent North Carolina GOP Chairwoman Linda Daves that asked her not to run the ad.

"In the strongest terms, I implore you to not run this advertisement," he wrote. "This ad does not live up to the very high standards we should hold ourselves to in this campaign."
North Carolina Republicans refused to pull the ad.

"I can't dictate to them. But I want to be the candidate of everybody. I want to be the candidate of Republicans and Democrats and independents," he said Wednesday.

During one New Orleans appearance, an audience member questioned McCain about an endorsement he received from controversial Pastor John Hagee, who once said on a radio show that "what happened in New Orleans looks like the curse of God."

"When someone endorses me, [it] does not mean I embrace their views," he responded. Later on his bus, McCain elaborated, "I didn't attend pastor Hagee's church for 20 years." -CNN

Wink, wink, wink. Key phase from McCain himself is; "I didn't attend pastor Hagee's church for 20 years."

Maybe the press should ask Senator McCain what the definition of the phase “Above the fray” means in relation to respectful campaigning? Get the old Maverick in the hot seat like they had Bill Clinton when he had to define the word “It” during one of his “Personal” indiscretions.

One can picture John McCain reviewing the television advertisement being very disgruntled about the negative content and yet nodding his head and winking in full approval while Karl Rove okayed the ads to run all over North Carolina. Technically, McCain did not approve it but maybe his consultant did? This is of course all speculation but the only speculation that makes sense for McCain to utter the phrase in defense of his association and endorsement with and by Reverend John Hagee.

I think if I had the lesser of two evils and associations that I would prefer Reverend Wright’s every single time. McCain with this remark has proven the fact that he has no intention to run a clean fight against Obama for the White House.
