    The Spanish ad (comparing McCain to Limbaugh) was down right fucking wrong ... I was none to happy the Obama campaign let that one out.




    That said .... I thought the McCain campaign came out this week and said the New York Times was "Obama Headquarters" ... :rolleyes:

    Oh yeah ... here it is ...

    Like I said many times, I'm not voting for either of them, but living in Philly I get to see and hear all the ads.

    Obama's stem cell ad which I mentioned last week is such a complete lie. There is no way that McCain's views on stem cell research is more extreme than W's as the ad claims. Considering McCain and Obama have supported the same legislation on stem cell research since Obama became a Senator, I guess Obama's views are more extreme on stem cells than W's too. ;)

    Did you catch the one where McCain is responsible for Corning closing their State College plant in 2001 and shipping the equipment overseas??? Real factual there...

    Yep, I also like the youtube video on Obama's official youtube site with Terry McCauliffe having a rally a block from my house last Saturday. My favorite part is at the end he says to everyone forget your jobs and forget school - all that matters is getting out there and winning this election. That other stuff you can worry about in the future.

    Yeah, that Spanish ad was bullshit. Like McCain or not, and although he's been backtracking this past year, he's been better on immigration than most members of his party.
