This article http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/27/the-most-stupidest-mccain_n_129840.html contains a McCain ad that shows Obama agreeing with McCain a bunch of times at the debate (although one of them is out of context, and prefaced a disagreement). It says that, based on this, Obama is not ready to lead. Isn't it a bit weird to say that agreeing with McCain makes you unqualified to lead the country? What does that say about McCain's positions?
I suppose the implication is that Obama has no ideas of his own and is just a follower, but I can't believe anyone who has eyes and ears can believe Obama agrees with McCain of everything. Does this make sense to anyone, or is the writeer of the article right that this is the "most stupidest" ad? |
Change "of everything" to "on everything". |
What's funny to me is that McCain has been coming across as a follower this entire campaign. He copied Obama's slogan (change), he copies Bush's tactics (appeasing to the religious right), there are a few more things that made me think "hey, he totally copied that!" but I can't think of them right now. |
Just yesterday I noticed an article referring to the "Rovian tactic" of accusinb your opponent of your own sins. Karl strikes again! |
I've been thinking of the brilliance of Obama choosing to use a single word, 'change,' as a campaign slogan. You use it everyday, probably several times a day. Once you are brainwashed into the 'change' message, everytime you here it, you are snapped back to the message, and that is intriguing. However, you assert that McCain "copied" Obama's campaign slogan. Well, last I knew, 'change' is a word in the English language, not a slogan. He can't possibly have copyrighted or trademarked it, although I will admit total ignorance to that being a fact. As near as I can tell, McCain used the word to parody Obama's message, which seems to be perfectly legit. As far as appeasing the religious right, I have to ask, how many Republicans should McCain disenfranchise in his campaigning? By the very definition of the phrase, the Religious Right is a Republican electorate. |
