Originally Posted By Dabob2 <Whoa, McCain actually bragged about voting with Bush 90% of the time? LOL!> Yep, during the GOP primaries. Part of his pander to the far right that he's still doing. Of course, this and his "the fundamentals of the economy are strong" are the twin soundbites he must wish he'd never said.
Originally Posted By Hans Reinhardt "That's not negative, it's simply factual." Exactly. It was killing me last night listing to the McCain camp trying to put a spin on Obama's negative ads, but failing to distinguish between attacks on policy and character. Even if McCain wins, the GOP needs to come to terms with all that is wrong in that party. It's a complete mess.
Originally Posted By Sport Goofy I thought it was funny that McCain's main example of an Obama "attack" ad was the one about the McCain healthcare plan. The tone is certainly negative, but it deals entirely with the issue of healthcare and doesn't have any personal shots at McCain. Compare that to the ad running now questioning Obama's judgment for serving on a school advisory board with Bill Ayers. Completely different sorts of stuff.

But saying Obama is "pallin' around with terrorists" is no biggie.
