I think Obama must not be running the really bad ones here cause I haven't seen any from his campaign that come close to McCain's shit.

AHA, this was worst one I could find, and it's true.



What gives?

obama is a coward and he would defend america like he defends himself from attack ads.

If by "his one accomplishment", you mean that he didn't sponsor the bill and it didn't even pass and if by "comprehensive sex education" you mean teaching young children about inappropriate touching, then yeah I guess this ad isn't a complete fabrication.

Why should he have to defend himself from outright lies like this? Fucking unbelievable.

This one also pisses me off. Although it is true in the technical sense, it is clearly meant to mislead voters into thinking that McRory will cut education spending. Think of the children!

Unfortunately, negative ads work, but I will never vote for a candidate that uses bullshit tactics like that. That, of course, means that I often don't have anyone to vote for in the major elections.

Seriously, McCain fans, where are Obama's negative ads?

Are you pleased with McCain's ridiculous ads about Obama?

Obama doesn't really have to run negative ads other than his more of the same bs ad which was run ad nauseum through the GOP Convention. The mainstream media does enough of the mud slinging for him, they tend to be overly critical of Republicans in general, namely because Bush is in the White House.

i think obama simply lets the internet do its thing. he doesn't need to run a negative attack

there's probably 10 million photoshops of palin and her new baby photochopped into hell to make fun of her already.

Perhaps they are only reflecting the will of the people and going after ratings. Bush does only have a ~26% approval rating afterall.

" Rove: Some McCain ads don't pass '100 percent truth' test Karl Rove had some rare criticism for McCain Sunday. (CNN) – Former Bush adviser Karl Rove suggested Sunday that John McCain had gone “one step too far” in some of his recent ads attacking Barack Obama. Rove has leveled similar criticism against Obama. “McCain has gone in some of his ads — similarly gone one step too far,” he told Fox News, “and sort of attributing to Obama things that are, you know, beyond the ‘100 percent truth’ test.”"

It becoming clear that Rove isn't even evil for ideological reasons-- he's just an evil mercenary.

More Boba Fett than Vader, if you will.
