OMG, I just saw a John McCain commercial in CA.

[calteacherguy]

I'm gonna puke.......:puke:

Playing up, "I was a footsoldier for the Reagan revolution," "surge is working," "a true conservative," will never waver.

ugggg :puke:

1. Hilarious, especially considering he almost left the party!

I have no idea why he's so popular on the left or right.

2. I saw the same one this evening in MN.

My reaction was the same.

:puke:

It's obvious he's pandering desperately to the wingnuts who hate him.

[Danger Mouse]

3. It's okay. Give the old guy a break.

He doesn't remember anything before 2001.

4. On CNN?

If so, it may have been nationwide. Just saw it mtself. Pitiful old guy.

5. What, exactly, did footsoldiers do in the mythical Reagan revolution?

And what made it a revolution? I'm very confused with this f'd up new McCain line. It's kind of like when Poppy Bush said, "A thousand points of light!" I would always scratch my head and say, "What the hell is he talking about?"

Saw that commercial here in Ohio tonight, too. I think it might have been a national cable buy. So far I've only seen Obama, Huckabee and McCain... but I'm in a March 4th state!

6. reagan revolution = massive deficits, illicit wars, rise of christofascism nt

[VolcanoJen]

7. I know!

That's why I always think of it more as "bootstomping" and "crushing" than some kind of "revolution." :-)

8. You left out: beggars and infomercials.

Oh, and no more Equal Time for candidates. When candidates ceased to get equal time, they started buying time...which is when campaign costs went insane. Thank you, Ronnie.

9. I saw the same ad in Atlanta

It's not the candidate, it's the Republican party that's strong and rabidly corrupt, they can run anybody and probably win.

10. "JOHN MCCAIN...COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF!"

Yeah, they just played one here in Iowa a little while ago. The caucuses are over!! Seems like they have money to burn all of a sudden now that he's the presumptive nominee!

[TexasObserver]

11. Ugh. He's more like the Mayor of Munchkin Town.

Although I always picture his crazy ass singing "we are the Lollipop Guild!"

[Political Heretic]

12. It's playing in Idaho.
