McCain Ads are Like Suicide Bombings All the Same
McCain Makes Bob Dole Appear as Bob Kennedy
Chris Kelly, HuffPo

"He believes our world is dangerous. Our economy in shambles... Don't hope for a better life... McCain."
-- A McCain Ad I'll Admit I Probably Only Half Heard
It's been pretty hard to keep up with negative McCain ads this week. They're like suicide bombings. You're reading about one and then you hear about another and you think, wait, is this the same one with a different body count, or something new? That poor country. I hope Lara Logan is all right.
(Or isn't she back here now, and carrying John Edwards' love child? Like I said, it's hard to keep up.)
First there was the ad that mocked Obama for not visiting all the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan one at a time. Just in groups. Like the hundreds you could see in the ad.
Callous bastard. And stupid troops, too. Falling for it.
Then there was ad that said all the TV commentators loved Obama, which was mostly built out of clips of TV commentators on Fox shitting on other TV commentators for loving him, which proves all the commentators love him, because here are ones that don't, saying others do.
(No mas, Señor Borges! My head!)
Anyway, it was called "Love" and it had sarcastic lovey-dovey music under it, so you get the point: Not only is McCain against Hope, he's also against Love.
Then there was the ad that said Obama was like Britney Spears because people like him. Because if there's one thing John McCain holds in greater contempt than Hope and Love, it's popular opinion. It's a slippery slope from there to majority rule.
This seemed like an unusual position for a nominee to take, in a political system built on the idea of getting the most votes, but okay.
I was still digesting that when the "Moses" ad came out. The point of this one was that there are voters who are so tragically, laughably ignorant they're actually thinking of voting for someone who inspires them. They're assholes. You know, like the Israelites.
People with faith! They'd be sad if they weren't so damn funny!
Don't they get it? It's a garbage existance -- even if Jihadists don't kill you -- and you're just making fools of yourselves with this "change" bullshit. So pull up your socks, stop acting like some love-struck German, and vote McCain.
He won't disappoint you. Because he's not promising you anything.
