John McCain so negative, what is his religion? I know he was link to Higgy and Ron paulson, who are outrageous, I refuse to listen to those two
McCain is so angry, Hillary did not get the votes because she waste time talking about OBAMA instead of the issues of this country, OBAMA still have time to visit the troops, that McCain said no GI BILL that to generous for the troops, SHAME ON MCCAIN, ONLY BECAUSE HE IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, HE'S TRYING TO RECOGNIZE THE TROOPS.
DENOUNCE JOHN MCCAIN AT THE POOL, TO OLD, TO ANGRY, AND DON'T KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT, HE WAS LOCK DOWN, HOW CAN HE KNOW, WHAT WENT ON, ON THE GROUND.

McCain's trying to link Obama to Spears and Hilton is sophomoric. Spending his limited money on weak attack ads shows his campaign lacks direction.
What next? His next ad might show that by Obama's clear opposition to the 'gas-tax holiday,' Obama wants to do away with holidays!
They're twisted connections.
By attacking Spears and Hilton, he shows he cares little for people needing psychological treatment, and that he cares only for wealthy white women that behave like Cindy.
On the other hand, it's smart of McCain to divert our attention from the 'issues,' his perspectives are weak and backward.

Oh, if his attacks help McCain win CO, at least he had to spend time and money there.
I doubt he had plans to campaign there when the race began.

You Obama nut jobs are much too reactive in making interpretations that aren't based in reality; i.e., the bit about 'not caring for people with psychological problems.'
Puleeze! The ad is simply a dig at the superficiality of Obama, the empty suit.
Sometimes the truth hits you right between the eyes.

monkeylips,
Convince me to support McCain.
Speaking about Spears and Hilton doesn't do it. Aren't there more 'celebrities' out there to use in ads?
Oh, the 'psychological' and 'wealthy white women' lines are sarcastic. I was trying to show the far, unconvincing reach of the 'Britney' ad.
