Obama should go on the offensive & he can keep his intergrity in the process


Obama should hit these mo fuckers with EVERYTHING that he has got. And, he doesn't have to compromise his integrity or ethics to do it.

The TRUTH about McCain and the GOP is so horrible, there is no need to run on lies. But, we can't back away from telling any of it, out of political politeness.

The Republican playbook is simple. Take their opponents greatest strength and turn it into a weakness. Hence, the incredibly stupid Paris & Brittany ads (Obama is popular & well-liked - tear him down for it).

McCain's perceived strength (I know its not) is national security.

Obama should be wiping the floor with McCain on this issue. HE was right on Iraq. McCain was WRONG.

Here's an ad:

McCain was WRONG about EVERYTHING on Iraq

And, then show all his ridiculous quotes and stupid statements - Over & over & over & over.

Wrong on Iraq. Wrong for America.

Take the GOP strategy & turn it back on McCain. What is the media going to do - they can't attack Obama for running truthful ads - & if they hit him for being tough - so the hell what - people will actually think a democrat has the balls to fight back.

Add your own ideas for a McCain ad here & let's send it on to the campaign.

1. I for one would never let the media's favorite candidate accuse the press of bias against him

Obama should not have let that slip.

2. I'd rather he keep his integrity on the issues than on his ads...
Right now he's taking the high-road on ads, etc. ~ and caving on issues. Backwards.

3. I am with you. He should do BOTH - caving to the Republicans is the WORST 'strategy' of all


I think he is getting his footing back - his energy speech was very encouraging today...

4. I wouldn't worry too much about the election rhetoric..
by now we should all know what kind of leader he'll be---fucking light years away from McCain. We have to trust him, he's our nominee.
