N. Carolina GOP Ad

[fatsheep]

The North Carolina GOP (Republican Party) is planning to run the above ad, obviously to hurt Obama in the upcoming NC primary. The message is "Obama: Too Extreme for North Carolina". Mccain has asked the NC Republican Party not to run the ad.

EDIT: Wow I totally misread the the link. I don't know how that happened. I thought it said, keep this add "off" the air, instead of "on" the air. Long day...

[Kiljan Arslan]

Could we for once try to keep the attack adds to the actual canbnidates, not someone they know?

McCain has asked the NC Republican Party not to run the ad.

Because he's a class act, unlike some...

Just hope he is able to maintain that and doesnt give in or have himself pushed when the general election kicks in but yep Mccain has always been class act.

ing lol. Do you think the Republican presidential candidate doesn't have the pull to keep an ad like this made by a state committee from seeing the light of day? more than likely this is one of those "It would be wrong of me to bring up my opponent's hatred of America" style moves. It makes him look like a good guy by not making the insinuations that the people close to him have made, but still gives them plenty of airtime. It's essentially dirty politics Republican style at its best/worst.

At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you C NT.

Yep. Class act right there. Quick question there Dan: how many times have you called your wife the "C"word, in public especially, but in any instance?

No he doesnt and its a fairly common occurrence of state level party doing their own thing. Its even becoming more common with completely unrelated third party entities doing it *cough* MoveOn.org. If Mccain didnt already have a well established history of class and credibility then maybe you'd have a point but he does. He isnt George Bush who Mccain knows first hand about with baseless attack ads.

Once...only once and I assure you she has called me worse more then that No one said Mccain was perfect btw just this particular thing is out of character of John Mccain so believing he had something to do with it without any evidence is pretty dubious. If this was Clinton or Bush then most certainly.

really? a BOOK to document the fact that 16 years ago he called his wife the c word? u've got to be kidding me. the bitterness and grasping at straws is really getting rediculous. it has come to the point where a book is written over someone calling other people names, which wont even be topical in a few months, and the democraps are all to eager to jump on for the ride.

Yep. It sure isn''t about the guy having serious anger issues, or being duplicitous, and is solely about McCain being a big meanie and calling someone a name once. Also, democraps.

Oh, and by the way, a man who, in 1992, called his wife a **** is obviously not suitable for the job. I mean, what was he thinking back then? That people, 16 years in the future, would not give a damn and understand that sometimes people say things in private to their spouse when they are pissed off?

Wow. Read the link will you. The man flew into a rage at an innocent little joke and called his wife a in PUBLIC. Also, many, many of his colleagues (even within his own party) have made comments regarding his anger problems and tendency to lash out at others. Is that really the type of guy you want having access to Armies and nuclear weapons?

Oh please you are reaching so hard here its pathetic, Mccain's first wife had her accident in 1969 he divorced her in 1980.

Face facts, the dude is a scumbag.

But it wasn't until 2000 that McCain, possibly emboldened by Clinton's survival of his scandals, became the first confessed adulterer to have the nerve to run. Now, just a few years after infidelity was considered a dealbreaker for a presidential candidate, the party that presents itself as the arbiter of virtue may field an unprecedented two-timing trifecta.
McCain was still married and living with his wife in 1979 while, according to The New York Times' Nicholas Kristof, "aggressively courting a 25-year-old woman who was as beautiful as she was rich." McCain divorced his wife, who had raised their three children while he was imprisoned in Vietnam, then launched his political career with his new wife's family money. In 2000, McCain managed to deflect media questioning about his first marriage with a deft admission of responsibility for its failure. It's possible that the age of the offense and McCain's charmed relationship with the press will pull him through again, but Giuliani and Gingrich may face a more difficult challenge. Both conducted well-documented affairs in the last decade--while still in public office.

As far as Keating 5 thing goes Mccain and Glenn were ultimately found to have little actual involvement your own wiki link says that!

Gee whiz. Little actual involvement is exactly the same as no involvement, that's why it's the KEATING 3 instead of the KEATING 5, right? Also the fact that he's still just as cozy with lobbyists as he was then means he surely learned his lesson about impropriety...

[danzig]

Face facts, the dude is a scumbag.

Because he cheated on his wife? Sound the alarm someone cheated on their wife I mean we all know thru out history this has never happened.

The point he wasnt found to have done anything illegal and since then has established a record that is certainly more impressive then most senators. You are really digging here...answer this why doesnt anyone bring up whitewater with regards to Hillary? Answer because ultimately she and her hubby werent found to have done anything illegal. Now if you want to argue he got away with it or the Clinton's got away with it fine but I expect you'll have the proof ready if you do.

I suppose keep digging maybe you'll find a story about a time when a 8 yr old Mccain pulled some girl's hair as a kid.

[RZZZA]

what he may do, or what he might be doing now, is distancing himself from these unsavory tactics while sending his surrogates out to make these sorts of controversial arguments on his behalf.

i doubt it though, i believe McCain is genuinely a class act and like Obama, he'd like to focus on substantive issues.

[fatsheep]

I really need to get more sleep. Somehow I misread the link and the video as "keep this add off" the air instead of "on" the air. So I guess they are, atleast at the moment, defying Mccain.

[RZZZA]

whats funny is his own party isnt listening to him when he tells them to cease and desist. And i thought loyalty was important to republicans.

not taking orders from your own presidential nominee?! to the gulag, i mean, Guantanamo with you, terrorist!

McCain isn't all that well liked or respected with republican leaders and doesn't have all that much pull with anyone. Only if he becomes presidentwill he really have control of the party.

Good for NC GOP, though Obama is a extremist and it is finall coming out.

****ing hell, how simplistic are American political adverts?

Simple truths are not complicated.

they are speaking to a simplistic audience.

Like all those bitter people that cling to guns or religion?

[Shaun]

Simple truths are not complicated.

What - so Obama's pastor said some radical things, and suddenly this is used as a smear against Obama himself?

[Chaigidel]

they are speaking to a simplistic audience.

[Chaigidel]

no like all those idiots who believe a goddamn thing any republican says after 8 years of bush.

and remember that doesnt fly with me, I am a bitter religious gun owner, and so is everyone I know.

[Chaigidel]

what he said wasnt even radical

we were attacked because of our activity in the mideast not because they hate our freedom
