Tucker Bounds: McCain is all about energy & controlled spending while Obama & Cheney are pro-Bush


Obama on Sunday told voters that their future depends on the final days of the campaign.

"Don't believe for a second this election is over. Don't think for a minute that power will concede without a fight. We have to work like our future depends on it in these last two days, because it does," he said in Columbus, Ohio.

Obama also continued his push to tie McCain to the current administration, calling attention to Vice President Dick Cheney's endorsement of the McCain-Palin ticket.

"I'd like to congratulate Sen. McCain on this endorsement, because he really earned it. That endorsement didn't come easy," Obama said.

"Do you think Dick Cheney is 'delighted' to support John McCain because he thinks John McCain's going to bring change? Because he thinks that somehow John McCain is really going to shake things up?"

Obama's campaign on Sunday released a 30-second ad that highlights Cheney's endorsement, which came Saturday.

"And boy, did McCain earn it. He voted with Bush and Cheney 90 percent of the time," the announcer says of the endorsement. "And that's not the change we need."

McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds responded Saturday in a statement: "Barack Obama and Dick Cheney aren't just cousins; they've shared support for the Bush energy policy and the out-of-control spending that John McCain has fought to oppose."

:spray:

Bounds was referring to research done by the vice president's wife showing that Cheney and Obama are distant cousins.

Poor guy was hoping for a job in the White House I'm sure.

3. Obama = Cheney?
So Dick Cheney is an angry black muslim radical socialist elitist babykiller too? I see the "angry" part, but everything else? :shrug:

4. So that would be the 8% of John McCain that didn't vote with Bush?
Nope...in fact that was part of John Mccain's 92% of voting with Bush.

Gee...that would make Tuckie a bullshitter.

Or just ignorant of the facts.

Or both.

5. Wow. Bottom of the Barrel
So John McCain kisses Bush and Cheney's ass for 8 long years, carrying their water, being their biggest cheerleader, and now when the shit has hit the fan, and they are no longer popular enough to help him in any tangible way, he, like's he's done with everyone else in his life who could not help him move up, throws them under the bus...and then tries to tie them to Obama, a man who has actually FOUGHT Bush-Cheney policies.

You have to have big fucking melon sized balls to do something like that. He is a bigger sociopath than Bush.

6. What a buffoon he is. He clearly doesn't even believe his own BS.
I hope he gets pointed and laughed at everywhere he goes after 11/5-- for the rest of his pathetic life.

Oh, and John McCain should be barred from every giving the thumbs up again. :puke:

7. McCain/GOP bought Sarah $150,000.00 worth of clothing,
If that's "controlled spending" I'm a psychedelic lollipop.:hippie:

10. I guess the fact that Cindy wore a $300K OUTFIT to the RNC convention
skewed McNasty's sense of what a wardrobe should cost. Oh, and if anyone thinks Saracudda is going to willingly give back those duds, I'll join you in the psychedelic lollipop jar!


And WELCOME to DU! :hi:
