McCain Running "Obama The Same Ol' Stuff" Ad On NBC

[Edgewater_Joe]

This is a new ad I haven't seen -- and in the height of me-too-ism, if-you-can't-beat-'em-join-'em-ism, and projection-ism, I don't know if it's dirty pool or a deviously superb example of jujitsu.

The ad starts with the same sleazy Obama at the podium zoom out, but then, interspersed with pictures of Reid, Schumer, Dodd and other DEMOCRATIC Senators, the ad actually claims that it's Obama -- OBAMA -- who offers "more of the same" of high taxes, no drilling of offshore oil, and and other eeeevil leeebral policies that, of course, McCain wants people to believe are the real reason for the ills people are suffering today.

And, it ran moments before Sunday night football, so a few folks will have seen it.

Anyway, we may be seeing a pivot from blatant personal lies to policy lies from McCain. Be ready.

1. If I were 72 and ill, this is not the legacy I'd want to leave behind.

McCain is pathetic.

[Abugface]

4. like there already is a legacy?

When you are a narcisstic, abusive egomaniac with an explosive temper, adding adding pathological liar to the list doesn't seem so bad, does it?:shrug:

5. Is there? I dunno. :) nt

10. Yeck! HOw gross

for you.

[BumRushDaShow]

19. Yeah it was even worse because the ad played at least twice! n/t

3. Why isn't Obama running ads during Football?

Are they nuts?

[Bill219]

6. I live in Cornelius NC and I was watching the Pats game

and there were 3 Obama ads and no Mcsame ads during the time I was watching

[margotb822]

23. Ok good

I hadn't seen any during my game watching stints, but I did see some McCain ads. Nice to know that he is doing it.

[Glimmer of Hope]

7. They copied Obama's "more of the same" ad.

I don't know what they are trying to pull.

9. No Originality

They can't even come up with their own tag lines...they have to steal ours. Can we get them on plagiarism?

(not that anything is really new in political advertising, but this is pathetic)

[27inCali]

13. maybe that should be one of our responses

an ad mocking McCain for ripping Obama off at every turn.

Nothing kills like mockery.

[iamjoy]

17. Imitation IS The Sincerest Form Of Flattery

so, I guess McSame must really like Obama

:evilgrin:

8. Is it copy cat or projection? In either case, it's bunk.

If you can't win 'em over, confuse 'em.

[justiceischeap]

11. They are trying to confuse the voters, plain and simple

If they co-opt Obama's campaign, it confuses low-info voters. For example, "I like that guy that talks about change." But wait, now they're both talking about change, "I like that guy who says it's more of the same." But wait, now they're both saying "More of the same."

Pretty neat but very underhanded trick.

[BlueIdaho]

14. Exactly...

Muddy the waters, confuse the voters, echo the message, make them think "Aw... there all alike." This is both cynical and sadly effective if we don't combat it.

[Glimmer of Hope]

16. I think it is a weak ploy. I didn't even recognize some of the scary Liberals they were trying

him to but I sure recognize that Boosh dude.

[Imagevision]

15. Rick Davis coming unglued, hahahahahaha....hahahaha!

[mucifer]

18. trying to get people to not vote get them to believe change isn't possible

Try to knock the hope outta people. It could be effective. I hope not.

[Mad_Dem_X]

20. They have to co-opt every Obama phrase, don't they?

First, they tried to steal the "Change" meme, now they're trying "More of the same" (which I guess is actually Biden's saying). I've seen this commercial a few times and laughed over it. The really pathetic one is the one where they keep saying what "mavericks" McCain and Palin are. :eyes:

[tallahasseedem]

21. This used to be somewhat

humerous...now it's downright pathetic. This will backfire, palin (whoops, plain) and simple.

[bullwinkle428]

22. In Iowa, they've been beating us over the head with that ad for a good

2-3 weeks at this point!
