2. Recieved from the campaign via email today
Even Karl Rove had to admit yesterday that the McCain campaign's lies and negative attacks have gone "too far."

John McCain is running the most negative and dishonest campaign in modern presidential history. He has demonstrated that he'd rather lose his integrity than lose this election.

It's right out of the Bush-Rove playbook. Unfortunately, as Karl Rove knows better than anyone, these shameful tactics have worked in the past.

This year, we can't let that happen.

Our new TV ad tells voters what the McCain campaign is all about -- and we're aiming for 100,000 donors by Friday at midnight to help keep it on the air.

Will you watch the latest ad and make a donation of $25 or more today?

Watch the ad and make a donation

The culture of corruption and dishonesty that has hurt America so badly the last eight years is playing an even larger role in McCain's campaign.

Just this past week, John McCain hired a Washington super-lobbyist to fill positions in a potential McCain-Palin White House. At least 177 lobbyists have been on McCain's campaign staff, and apparently he hopes to run the White House the same way.

Also this week, the McCain campaign continued to repeat a number of outrageous lies, even after watchdogs in the media called them "shamelessly misleading," "thoroughly dishonest," and "a toxic mix of lies and double-speak."

They also lied about the crowd size at one of their rallies -- reporting 23,000 attendees when there were only 8,000.

McCain's campaign -- run on lobbyists and lies -- is no match for this unprecedented grassroots movement. More than 2,500,000 people have stepped up to own a piece of this campaign.

But if we want change, we must continue to grow this movement and put an end to these dishonorable political tactics. And we have just 50 days left to do it.

Combat McCain's dishonest campaign tactics -- make a donation of $25 or more right now:

Thanks for all you do,

3. It's about time
You know, I've been trying to explain reality to my republican friend. He's telling me that even Obama has said that McCain is running one of the cleanest, most honest campaigns in history. LOL. Can anyone tell me where he might have gotten that from? Seriously, he uses a site called factcheck.org which is so right-wing biased I'm amazed even he can take it seriously.

One problem we're definitely going to have, is that many people simply don't watch and don't care. It's like every bit of information has become misinformation and vice versa. The McCain campaign is so sleazy I can't even figure out when they ARE telling the truth now.
