McCain: Obama represents a Bush third term.»

In a statement responding to reports that nearly 500,000 more Americans claimed unemployment benefits this week, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) tried to link Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) to President Bush’s failed economic policies.: “Barack Obama’s only answer is to double-down on the Bush Administration’s legacy of out-of-control spending.” The Wall Street Journal notes that this claim “hangs on the thread of proposed spending increases by Obama,” adding that Obama nevertheless “opposes most major aspects of Bush’s economic legacy, including making permanent the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, which McCain supports.”

8. WTF?! Classic Rovian tactic

attack the other side for being exactly how you are. :crazy:

[JBoy]

14. Rove was more subtle than just saying "No, YOU represent Bush's third term!"

[Ichingcarpenter]

9. McCain: "Obama! I knew Barack Obama and you sir are no Barack Obama"

"I am" ............. I think this will be next pathetic talking point.

[Lex]

10. But I thought Obama was "the most liberal Senator ever in the universe

forever and ever." Or something like that.

[babylonsister]

13. Good point; he's a rethug and thinks he's entitled to having it both ways. nt

[Dennis Donovan]

He has a hat filled with slips of paper, doesn't he?

:crazy:

[Fleshdancer]

11. How does McCain do it???

How does he keep finding more sharks to jump? Absolutely amazing.

[casus belli]

12. LOL! This guy just makes shit up as he goes along...I'm convinced.

I mean, they don't even TRY to merge with reality anymore.

[NoSheep]

17. I read today he said: "Obama will say anything to get elected"

I had to pop a bowl

:popcorn:

[City Lights]

15. Wait, is he the "most liberal Senator" or a Bush clone?

Make up your mind, John. :eyes:

Did he vote with Bush 90% of the time, or was that you, John?

[DesertFlower]

16. WTF? McCain is so desperate.

[gizmo1979]

22. Whatever comes out of their mouths

they have ultimately done more often or worse.They attack to their weakest points.Go figure.

[robertpaulsen]

23. Obama: "I'm not George W. Bush. If you wanted to run against him, you should have run 4 years ago!"

That should put that to rest. :)

25. Did Cindy finally snap and hit him upside the head?

Couldn't blame her.

[RollWithIt]

26. LOL, what planet are they living on?

I mean seriously? It's the worst campaign ever!

[ShadowLiberal]

27. Yeah, because decreasing spending has stopped what some call a potential depression before, right?

Oh wait that's right, cutting back government spending/help never has saved an economy on the brink of a recession. Hoover tried to avoid spending anything to fix the great depression and it failed miserably. It was big government intervention that fixed what caused the depression, and huge government intervention during WW2 is what most credit for lifting us out of the great depression.
