McCain is going to go ultra-negative starting on Tuesday. WE can turn the tables on him.

McCain has hinted that he is going to start dropping Swift Boat style ads against Obama starting on Tuesday.

I think we can do more than just nullify his attacks, we can also make him go on the defensive over these ads as well.

Some ideas:
McCain's attacks go to far and are offensive (This will probably be true)
Bring up McCain's connections to polarizing figures such as John Hagee and James Dobson
Keating 5, Keating 5, Keating 5

1. Or "Songbird" McCain's sellout of our POW's and MIA's in the mid-90's

2. Just out of curiosity, what has been the holdup on Keating 5?

I had heard that Kerry was also tied to that. How? With this bailout, I would think the K-5 would be front and center. Maybe they are just waiting for a nasty from McGoo?

3. My opinion is that we haven't needed it.

And, it's ready at the word go.

4. McCain is the only Senator left in office tied to the Keating 5

[shraby]

6. You might be thinking of the BCCI and Iran-Contra

investigations...Kerry was conduction Senate hearings on them but when the new administration came in, they were shut down.

5. The POW-Admiral's son who votes against aid for Vets!

I don't know why Obama does not pound on that. The American people will always voice "Supporting the Troops" so show exactly how McCain has not supported the troops at war and at home! That's all!

AND, He gave military info BEFORE he was tortured.


Here's a quote from McCain in a 1973 US News & World Report interview, written before the GOP revisionsists got to work, trumping him up into Superman-Fighter Ace-Hero of the Ages McCain:

In the U.S. News and World Report printed on May 14, 1973, McCain openly admitted that he collaborated with the enemy:

"I think it was on the fourth day that two guards came in, instead of one. One of them pulled back the blanket to show the other guard my injury. I looked at my knee. It was about the size, shape and color od a football. I remembered that when I was a flying instructor a fellow had ejected from his plane and broken his thigh. He had gone into shock, the blood had pooled in his leg, and he died, which came as quite a surprise to us - a man dying of a broken leg. Then I realized that a very similar thing was happening to me.

"When I saw it, I said to the guard, `O.K., get the officer.'"

"An officer came in after a few minutes. It was the man that we came to know very well as "The Bug." He was a psychotic torturer, one of the worst fiends that we had to deal with. I said, `O.K., I'll give you military information if you will take me to the hospital.'"
