Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Monday, September 15, 2008

Harsh advertisements and negative attacks are a staple of presidential campaigns, but Senator John McCain has drawn an avalanche of criticism this week from Democrats, independent groups and even some Republicans for regularly stretching the truth in attacking Senator Barack Obamas record and positions.

Quotation marks got lost somehow.

The Straight Talk Express ran off the road a LONG, LONG, time ago.

Just about the time he ddecided it was necessary to win the Presidency-EVEN IF IT MEANT USING DIRTY TRICKS-or promoting policies that will ultimately destroy what's left of America.
He doesn't care, only about winning-no matter how.

All I can say is that if you didn't like the last 7 3/4ths years under W and Cheney, run for the hills if McSame engineers a Red state electoral majority.

More wars, more deficits, more incuriousity!

McCain has made a bargain with the Devil. Better to rule in Hell for four years than to serve in Heaven. Unfortunately for him, leadership in Hell always reverts to the real boss.

It is so sad to see a once honorable man throw honor and integrity under the bus in the name of power.

Did he mention he is a POW?

When Karl Rove says your commercials are dishonest there really isn't much left to say.

Just look at our financial sector and I say the economy is great!

John McCain

The mouseturds and trollolps who are criticizing me can't even spell "s-t-a-r-i-h-g-t t-l-a-k."
~John "Is It A Grin Or A Tic - You Decide" McCain

That's "trollolps," pronounced c**ts.
But without the tail end of the Big Dipper.
And speaking of tail ends, have you heard the one about the drunken banana, the meth-crazed ape, a keg of pineapple infused vodka, and a Rockette in the confessional at St. Patrick's?
Later, my friends, later.

Ohmama is not bipartisan. He is the most partisan Sen.

Since 2005, Mr. McCain has led as chief sponsor of 82 bills, on which he had 120 Democratic co-sponsors out of 220 total, for an average of 55 percent. He worked with Democrats on 50 of his bills, and of those, 37 times Democrats outnumber Republicans as co-sponsors.

Mr. Obama, sponsored 120 bills, of which Republicans co-sponsored 26, and on only five bills did Republicans outnumber Democrats. Mr. Obama gained 522 total Democratic co-sponsors but only 75 Republicans, for an average of 13 percent of his co-sponsors.

Obama is an empty suit. And Liar.

Obama, says we need change. He is a liar. He has never taken on the leadership of his party, just like a good boy.

Over his Senate career, Mr. McCain has voted with the majority of Senate Republicans about 85 percent of the time, while in his three years in the Senate Mr. Obama has voted with his party 97 percent of the time.

Geee, this sounds a lot like what Hillary was saying of Obama not too many months ago!

Poor Dems, when you got an empty suit for a candidate what else can you do but complain about how mean your opponent is?

Helpful Hint: You will not win the Whitehouse by whinning! Obonehead is now on defense...like Hillary before him. I wonder if Hillary had whined more would she have won? LOL...LOL!

Keep whinning Libs. It's priceless!

"Poor Dems, when you got an empty suit for a candidate what else can you do but complain about how mean your opponent is?

Mean??? No, just commenting that Karl Rove says McLiar is a liar.

Midtowncowboy's post shows what? Obama is a Democrat, wow that is some insightful stuff there.

"You will not win the Whitehouse by whinning!"

Er....the whining most of us hear is how mean everyone is to poor Sarah Palin....the victim.

Midtowncowboy's post shows what? Obama is a Democrat, wow that is some insightful stuff there.
No, it shows his claims that be will bring bipartisanship are not consistent with his voting record. Most on this site would call that a lie.

He says one thing and does another.

Er....the whining most of us hear is how mean everyone is to poor Sarah Palin....the victim.
As long Ohmama continues to run against Palin and Bush, he will continue to slide in the polls.

Ignore polls that use registered voters. Look at the polls that use likely voters.

Obama's back room cannot stand the fact that the Repubs are beating them at their own game.. of course, Obama has been more strictly partisan, but that is the so-called substance of his all out rhetoric... one reason he stumbles so badly in debates and question situations is that he is always working from a 'prepared' script and trying to recall from memory what he is supposed to say rather than something from his own origin.. he has no origin..this all comes from the Axlerod staff in prepwork, because he personally has nothing to give.. it is a complete package of mirrors.. now that the McCain wagon is playing into his sanctum of tricks, and a little better because of the sudden rise of Palin's popularity, it is driving Axlerod crazy... he has no substance to package Obama with except 'Hollywood mirrors' and Obama cannot stand on his own... this will be an interesting development..!!

I saw a clip about that story this morning on CNN as I was getting ready for work. It made me do a double-take and check if it actually was Karl Rove, or some sort of space alien wearing a Karl Rove suit.

I'm still not 100% convinced it's the former.

Amen, DrSoul...and again I say, AMEN!

Republicans calling Obama partisan....hilarious.
Think back a couple of years to the Congress ruled by Republicans, if you are capable of doing so, and remember K-Street Project, 11th Commandment, etc.
Think of today and ask yourself....have you ever seen so many filibusters in your life??? The answer is no you have never seen such an obstructionist party before.

"I'm still not 100% convinced it's the former."

Me too, but it was him, and whichever Fox Liar actually asking him if dishonesty in those commercials was important???? The Fox News guy actually questioning if honesty matters.
Can't make this shit up.

Did he mention he is a POW?

#5 | Posted by 726

Did Obama and company mention he was a community organizer just like Jesus Christ...

McCane was for telling the truth before he was against it.

Well, again....Obama's rhetoric that he will 'reach across the aisle' is a projection of rhetoric on Axlerod's behalf, as his proven record does not sustain this sudden turn of events...!!!


You know... He was unable to lie about Obama for 5-1/2 years when he was a POW.

So you have to give him a pass on this one.


Did I mention he was a POW?

Obama has the support of some of the greatest minds in Hollywierd even Hugo's buddy Mr. Spickoly AKA Sean Penn along with the intellectual master George Looney who supports him, all this along with being a community organizer just like Jesus Christ. Wow who cares about those pesky polls that show actual voters switching to McCain/Palin. I think most people will go along with Hollyweird and vote Obama and ummmm who is he running with Joe somebody...

Did Obama and company mention he was a community organizer just like Jesus Christ...

So as ususal only the repubs are airing false ads?

John McCain thinks anyone making under 5 million is middle class.

John McCain said he wants to stay in Iraq for a hundred years.

John McCain will overturn Roe v Wade and make abortion illegal.

John McCain is so out of touch he forgets how many houses he owns.

John McCain is just now learning how to use a computer.

This doen't even mention the hundreds of lies from huffington, Kos as well as CNN and MSNBC. How about Whoopie asking if she will be a slave again if McCain is elected? Which got applause from the audience.

If they simply re-use the dems ads during the nomination campaign, are they still lies and distortions?

Obama and company are on the run and it is obvious they will break another campaign promise and use what got him elected. Gutter, Daley politics.

The only tactic Obama can use is his continuing misstatement that McCain and Bush are one and the same... he can preach that soapbox on his own without understanding that he is spouting BS.. he also does not realize that it continues to tear him down.. of course, Axlerod will use ANYBODY he can, and many are willing, behind the scenes to continue any slaps on McCain as possible, such as the ignorant remarks of Whoopi... but, you see the company that she is in...!!! the O side cannot face issues with the McCain campaign, as Obama himself is not strong enough on issues to stand up to debating and/or discussing, except the sign on the window pane... his real lack of substance is slowly showing..and, this is what scares Axelrod the most..ole Ax is the show here, not his numb candidate...

Biden on Himself:

I know making a V.P choice is the first tough decision for a potential President ohhhh the humanity of it all how can I possibly help Jesus I mean Barrack. Why oh why didn't he pick Hillary I'm not worthy Lord I mean Jesus Uh Barrack oops...

This article must have drawn blood. McCain bases his campaign on at times very obvious lies and Obama is the liar? McCain bases his ads on lies and Obama lacks substance?

Everyone knew the Republicans would get the point they would lie and cheat to win this election. We started talking about it well more than a year ago. The history of their doing so stretches back over most of my lifetime.

McCain, it is said, now becomes very angry if you don't deal with him as if he were completely pure and heroic. I imagine he gets angry a lot these days.

So, Zed, where is the substance of Obama????

"The only tactic Obama can use is his continuing misstatement that McCain and Bush are one and the same.......and then back it up with fact after fact.
Them damn Democrats, using facts again, damn I hate the reality based community.

What fascinated me about the last elections was Republicans excoriating Democrats for not having the "courage" to hit back in kind.

They satisfied the moral problems with their behavior by winning. That, my friends, is what a deal with the Devil is.


"Substance"---Dr. Soul---Liars and cheats have no substance. After the last two weeks, McCain and Palin are demonstrably in that category. You may like how they lie and cheat because you want to win, but don't mistake there's nothing more than that to them or to you.

So, Aed, you cannot give me any substance to Obama..sounds like an Axelrod answer to me...!!!
just try addressing the real question..

As a bright man mentioned this very week, if McCain wins the presidency this way the victory will be "ashes" in his mouth. There will be a Democratic Senate and House regardless, and the infuriated half of the American electorate will laugh at "bipartisanship".

The Democrats know how to hit back especially when there is a vast right wing conspiracy to steal the election AGAIN, word on the street has it that hanging chads will be brought back again in swing states to ensure that Republicans steal the election. Remember the guy in Florida with coke bottle glasses scanning each ballot bending and poking hoping a few would fall out here and there. Most voters do not realize the conspiracy started in Roswell New Mexico with the help of conservative Aliens...

So, Zed, you still cannot answer the basic question of "where is the substance in Obama".... stands to reason..

I'm encouraged by the information McCain's poll "bounce" after his convention may be starting to fade.

Dr. Soul, would it matter, really matter to you at all, if Obama had "substance"?

I used to think John McCain was a hero. I used to think he had substance in spades. Now I just see him as being an old and empty man.

"Vast right-wing conspiracy...." It never had to be vast, it just had to be nasty and well-funded.

The really galling thing about what McCain is doing is that he really is the poster child of victim when it comes to Republican smears.

Whomever "you" people are hated McCain so much you were willing to do to him in 2000 pretty much what "you" are trying to do to Obama in 2008.

No one's saying it might not work. It sure as hell has worked in the past. I'm just saying if that's how "you" all win again this time, you have my deserved contempt.

Obama on Himself:

Now listen folks before I was a community organizer you you want to talk about substance I turned one basket of fish and some some bread you know into enough food to feed thousands not to mention that that walking on the water thing, now now that's substance for you. And then my V.P choice theirs real substance Joe uhhh what the hell is his name again...

LOL....Me thinks ol' ZED can't answer the question.

We all know why! Nobama has no substance, and ol' ZED knows it too! LOL...LOL :-)

"Now I just see him as being an old and empty man.....driven by nothing but ambition."

He knows he has no plan for America, you'd think that he'd step aside for the benefit of the country, he doesn't have a clue about the economy and he knows it.

To the small mined individual who keeps flagging my posts as racist no matter what the content. More than likely your cranial capacity limits your ability to understand and respond back. If you flag enough possibly you will rid yourself of all other views just like North Korea, China, and Russia. One other observation you have to be a liberal Democrat and the Retort is your entire life

The problem is that McCain isn't running his campaign -- the Bush team is. Makes you wonder how much they will let him be president.

ah, the trolls are out early today. When you have no substance, you can at least yell loud, right?

Cash those McCain checks soon, boys!

No he never mentioned that once. Dumbass...

yours,
John McCain POW

About as much as they let Bush be president. And you see how well that has worked out.

No, he never said THAT, either. Damn, if it isn't McCain lying about Obama, it's his petty minions!

McCain may be drawing an avalanche of criticism over his distortions, but he's not drawing an avalanche of supporters to see him without Palin.

Yesterday in Jacksonville, FL he drew 3000....

In an arena designed for 16,000

Looks like a benefit for a General Sherman statue in Atlanta

Good old Uncle Billy.

Why the fuss?

If after 7.5 years you don't know the modus operandi of the GOP, you're just as clueless as Palin.

Poor Danni has not had a day of reality in her entire non lucid, demented-filled life.

No, he never said THAT, either. Damn, if it isn't McCain lying about Obama, it's his petty minions

When did huffington become McCains minions? I admit every lie from them that makes it to CNN and MSNBC have helped. I just don't think they are smart enough to know. Much like anyone who copies straight from huffington to drudge. Keep it up.

McCain drew an avalanche of criticism even without the distortions. The criticism started right after the press were done pumping him up after he assured the nomination. He has been swamped in criticism ever since.

Unbelievable!

The loonies who continue to bad-mouth our country's only hope for making it until tomorrow, while Bush-Cheney, the clone models for McCain-Palin, push the economy ever deeper into the toilet.

By the time the incumbent Republican administration gets done picking our pockets, looting whatever savings we may have stashed, all voting may be academic anyway. herm

I wonder what state the democrats are going to decide to challenge the vote in after they lose this time around. One way to tell is what city do their lawyers book rooms in advance of the election like they did in florida!
