MCCAIN accusing OBAMA of changing his positions to appease his base!
Edited on Mon Sep-08-08 03:23 PM by jenmito
I can't believe he just did that today, following that lie by saying, "My friends, you may not always agree with me, but you'll always know where I stand." Did he forget about Youtube and that HE has flipped on tax cuts for the rich, "agents of intolerance," off-shore drilling, immigration, torture, the ease of "winning" in Iraq, lobbyists, etc.???

3. We don't have to worry. McCain is going to get struck by lightning WAY before November if he keeps
this up.

Jeez!

7. Sounds like Karl Rove tactics to me
Isn't that is Rove's MO? To accuse your opponent of what you are doing? :shrug:

31. I don't know-I'm not seeing hardly any
This is the time for them, IMO. People are paying attention right now because of the conventions, and forming their opinions that could be hard to change later.

19. Absolute proof that ROVE is on board...
Accusing your opponent of EXACTLY what you are guilty of is an old classic.

One of his favorites.
It muddies the water and makes the (legitimate) accusations against HIS guy sound like "tit for tat"..

20. Classic Rove. JSM III is flip flop king, better accuse the other guy of that.
Modern Republican John Sidney McCain III, humble public servant with $520 shoes and 7 homes, has so many flip flops to his name, he must follow the RNC mandate and accuse his opponent of that quickly. Before Democrats resurrect their ads of McCain vs. McCain.

21. Face it the GOP will say anything. To win is the aim.
I would say that the days of the GOP are on the end side. Can you see how this country is moving. The old white man will not be for ever running this country. Like to see it end this year but I am not sure every has had enough of these greedy men yet.

23. The Obama camp put out a statement saying McPalin will say anything to get elected.
That's a start.

28. Everytime is hear the surrogates
spouting talking points or McCain ads it seems literally Orwellian. Reality and truth do not matter. Accuse the other side of the very foibles and failing present in the McCain camp.
