I've seen better video campaign ads posted here than the ones produced by either Obama or McCain. I've also seen endless hand-wringing and second-guessing and loads of advice for Obama to get down and dirty on McCain, who just keeps on attacking, and lying, with the complicity of the corporate media.
We need more of the No How, No Way, No McCain lines. We need to use our knowledge of the tubes of the Internets to define, and spank the pants off, the Liar Liar Pants on Fire Serial Adulterer Keating 5 Beltway Buffoon. Too many voters don't seem to care about issues, or that this crazy coot who wants to make war everywhere has a nasty temper and poor judgment.
While I agree that the Dems must hit McCain hard, and fast, I believe it's a job best done by ABO -- anyone but Obama. So let's see wotcha got, folks -- define the mendacious duffer simply, harshly and creatively, and may the best YouTube videos go viral!
Bonuses for working in repeated allusions to Obama's faithfulness/fidelity/monogamy -- for the values voters!
Here's my first idea:
John McCain, Mudslinger. (show the old guy as a Western gunslinger covered in muck and filth, falling down in the street into a big pile of mud)
Voiceover: John McCain is rolling in the mud. He's throwing all the slop he can -- smears, distortions and outright lies -- at Barack Obama, hoping something will stick.
John McCain is wallowing in mud because he has nothing of his own to run on. Except his record, and it's REALLY muddy: against torture before he was for torture. Against the Bush tax cuts for the rich before he was for them. Endless war in other countries. Endless war on the middle class in OUR country.
Get out of the mud, Senator McCain. Is is really worth getting so dirty just to try to inflict four more years of George W Bush on the American people?
John McSame, Mudslinger. Because he has nothing else to offer.
Yeah, yeah, I know it's rough. I'm on a deadline and have to get back to work. . .
