See The "Original Marverick"s Ad aka Ssshh! Don't Tell Anyone We're Republicans?

[Median Democrat]

Has anyone seen John McCain and Sarah Palin's newest ad? The ad not only portrays McCain and Palin as mavericks, but more importantly it brags about McCain and Palin's actions in fighting Republicans. At not time during the ad does it mention that McCain and Palin ARE Republicans.

What does this mean? This means that between bouts of beating ourselves up, we should take a bow for forcing the McCain campaign to abandon its experience argument, and try to take the mantle of "change" from Obama. Several times during McCain's speech he parrotted the lines of Obama as his own. Worse, other Republican speakers demanded that the Republicans need to take back Washington!

Sadly, as noted in prior post discussing the results of a Pew report, a lot of Americans do not know basic facts such as the fact that McCain and Bush are in the same party, let alone that McCain's policies are the same as Bush's. Thus, it is possible for the McCain campaign to essentially con their way into Washington like that movie "A Perfect Gentleman" where Eddie Murphy won a congressional seat by running for office with the name of a deceased congressman.

Give credit where credit is due. The McCain campaign has done a wonderful job of creating the impression that they are the insurgent party trying to take back the White House. But, the real question and challenge is how long the McCain campaign can keep up this fraud even with the help of a compliant media?

The only way the McCain campaign has been able to get away with this is because the MSM has been able to focus on Palin, rather than examining the issues or record of McCain. However, can the GOP keep up the Palin soap opera stories alive long enough to avoid ugly truths like McCain/Palin are exactly the same as Bush/Cheney.

So, I want Obama to win. Yet, I find it amazing how the Republicans and Big Media can essentially reinvent reality such that McCain/Palin are the insurgents and Obama/Biden are the status quo. Everytime Obama/Biden speak they point out this fraud, but the interviews are rarely discussed beyond the interview itself.

Again, it requires an amazing effort on the part of Big Media to cooperate with this cover-up.
