Trying to Win an Election

John McCain put Paris Hilton in a video comparing Barack Obama to that of a celebrity who isn't fit to run the country, and Paris and the media aren't finding it hot. For anyone thinking John McCain is saying Sen. Obama is just like Paris Hilton or Britney Spears, I doubt that's what the McCain campaign was going for- Obama's IQ levels are way higher.




Sen. McCain's recent ads going against Sen. Obama, have received much criticism from, and here's a shocker, those who don't support John McCain. It's been pointed out that McCain promised to run a clean campaign, because as he put it, " Americans want a respectful campaign. They're tired of the attacks. They're tired of the impugning people's character and integrity. They want a respectful campaign, and, and I, and I am of the firm belief that they'll get it and that they can get it if the American people demand it and reject a lot of this negative stuff that goes on." McCain's proud of the ad, but many believe this puts a negative outlook on him and can only do more harm than good for his campaign. Barack Obama says we should not be talking about Paris but the issues in America. Well maybe the only Sen. McCain can get to talk about the issues is to create ads calling Obama unfit to lead so that Americans will look McCain and see what he has to say.

If you look at any of the ads the candidates air, it's better to watch and come up with your own opinion rather than the one the media will give you. But apparently common sense has to come in the form of a burning bush to get people's attention, for instance there's another McCain ad where some say he's comparing Obama to Moses. No, the scene used from The Ten Commandments is Moses at the Red Sea proclaiming,"Behold his mighty hand," which is followed by the presidential seal bearing Obama's name, as if to say, "look here comes Mr. Wonderful or Captain America." Take a look for yourself at the going against Obama's "Hakuna Matata" talk.




Barack Obam's ad compare McCain to President Bush, and say McCain's offering the same old politics and the same failed policies, of course he's not copying McCain's style. It's funny how the media is shocked that Sen. McCain would air an ad making Obama unfit for the presidency- it's almost like he's trying to win an election.
