New e-mail from the McCain campaign - the spin is on!

McCain Team -

Americans across the country are feeling the effects of high gas prices and our need to expand domestic oil production.

John McCain says we need offshore oil drilling and we need it now. Senator Barack Obama has consistently opposed offshore drilling - calling it a "gimmick." Senator Obama's solution to high gas prices is telling Americans to make sure their tires are inflated.

Today, I'm asking for your help in putting Senator Obama's "tire gauge" energy policy to the test. With an immediate donation of $25 or more, we will send you an "Obama E nergy Plan" tire pressure gauge. Will simply inflating your tires reduce the financial burden of high gas prices on your wallet?

It's clear Senator Obama has no plan to address the energy challenges we face as a nation. He has said no to offshore drilling, no to expanding domestic drilling and no to nuclear energy. He has no plan to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.

John McCain is prepared to lead our country as president to break our dependence on foreign oil with real solutions. John McCain believes we should lift the federal ban on offshore drilling, enabling you to decide where we drill for oil.

But John McCain won't be able to enact these policies without your help in electing him as our next president.

Please help us put Senator Obama's energy plan to the test - donate $25 or more for your very own "Obama Energy Plan" tire pressure gauge.

Th anks, as always, for your support.

Sincerely,
Rick Davis
Campaign Manager

P.S. Our next president's energy policy will need to reduce our dependency on foreign oil. John McCain believes we need offshore drilling now. Senator Obama's plan is calling on Americans to check their tire pressure. We're asking for your help in testing out Senator Obama's energy plan. With your donation of $25 or more right now, we'll send you a tire gauge to test for yourself, Senator Obama's "tire gauge" energy policy.

1. I got it too. Just when I think they can't be more reprehensible, they prove me wrong again

The irony is that if the dumbasses who donate to McCheeseAisle use the guage they will save money.

Obama should do his own gimmick.

3. You know what - he should say just that.

"McCain obviously knows you'll save money with my plan, so donate $20 to me and I'll send you my tire gauge."

2. God, that's just fucking moronic.

Obama nailed their asses on energy today, and this is the best they can come up with?

Negative campaigning sure ain't what it used to be...

7. McCain doesn't even know the price of a gallon of gas- how

can anyone given that admission mock anyone, and be believed?

And anyone who would buy a cheap quality tire guage for $25 from McCain deserves what they get.

10. That gauge is photoshopped. They haven't made them yet... you can be sure they'll use cheap Chinese

junk, and when they do, we can cry foul over their being un-American. Meanwhile, Obama should roll out a flat tire on stage with him labeled McCain's Energy Plan.
