Obama aide questions McCain's honor (This is the way to fight these pricks!)
Looks like the Obama camp finally grew some balls!

Snip>

Bill Burton, Obama's press secretary, responded in a statement: “It is shameful and downright perverse for the McCain campaign to use a bill that was written to protect young children from sexual predators as a recycled and discredited political attack against a father of two young girls – a position that his friend Mitt Romney also holds. Last week, John McCain told Time magazine he couldn't define what honor was. Now we know why."

1. McCain is a little twit who has been milking
his military service for 30 years.

3. Stop saying that..
they always had 'em..they won the primary didn't they?

Nobody knows how far in advance their strategy has been mapped out.

Yeah, mccain has acted dishonorably, disgracefully, and it needs to be talked about it!

4. That is perverse and McCain continually defines "honor" by his actions whether he intends to or not
and this is most dishonorable.

Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, Quixote.

7. A bill to provide sex education to kindergarteners?
What for? Everybody knows that kindergarteners are never sexually molested.

9. He needs to confront this head on tommorow
Either in an ad or in a press conference, to denounce this disgusting ad and tell the truth. Thats the only thing that is going to cut through.

13. That would make a great 527 attack
An attack like that would make a great 527 attack on McCain. I'd imagine it would go something like this.

Announcer: You would think those who served in our military and were a POW would know the meaning of honor, but not John McCain.

<show part of McCain's sex ed attack ad>

Announcer: But you'd be wrong, John McCain continues to spread lie after lie about Obama, no matter how shameful and dishonorable the lie is.

<briefly explain the truth about the lie in McCain's attack ad shown above>

Announcer: We need someone who's going to be honest when talking about their enemies, and not another person who will lie about them to the nation.

<show Bush making preIraq invasion attacks on Saddam that were proved false>

Announcer: Do we really need 4 more years of a president actually believing their own lies about their enemies and hurting America in the process because of it?

14. We can't talk about honor while letting go of our own.
Neither can McCain. We need to stay above lies & dirty politics, but there's nothing wrong with speaking the truth. I hope that they can be tough & go after McCain & still maintain their dignity & ethics.

The key is to connect McCain to Bush & remind people that the last 8 years were TERRIBLE! That's how we win, IMHO.
