McCain camp has now branded his "Maverick" message with the term "Lipstick on a Pig"

[Quixote1818]

The more I think about this the more I think McCain shot himself in the foot big-time! From hear on out when McCain starts saying he is going to bring change to Washington then people are INSTANTLY going to think "LIPSTICK ON A PIG!!!!". Not to mention perhaps 50 Million people have now seen Obama rattle off the long list of things that connects McCain with Bush's failed policy's. I think Obama coming out like a grownup and waving his finger at the McCain camp like Bill Clinton was a home-run and the McCain camp is now feeling like they need to tone things down.

I say we embrace the comment and every-time McCain talks about Change we have people in the crowd that scream "Lipstick on a Pig!" and even run commercials that make fun of the "change/maverick" BS with the "Lipstick on a Pig" saying. We keep saying it until McCain gets so angry he punches someone.

On Edit: Can someone come up with a Logo that shows McCain's message of Change and a Pig With Lipstick? There must be some kind of creative way to further brand McCain's change message with "Lipstick on a Pig".

Or perhaps a new campaign slogan: McCain the Maverick? No, just lipstick on a pig. Or something in that direction.

3. HE is putting the "lipstick on the pig" McSame meme out there. Obama is smart to capitalize

off this blunder of McSame.

5. Bill should hit them with a clarification, polishing a turd.

He's got the mojo and can deliver the line, just right too.

Obama stands above it, but Bill can put that in the clearest possible language and it'll be a buzz but what can you do? It's Bill and he said cool. Cry out in more phony outrage and pout about coarse language.

Sit and spin Republicans. Sit and spin.


BRING THEM DOWN!

7. Obama should make an ad using the unedited

video of his comments prior to using the pig joke. He should drive it into the peoples mind that Sarah Palin was never mentioned over and over again. The Republicans have always been successful in repeating a lie until people start believing it. Well repeat the truth until people start believing it. The first thing this morning I turn on the radio and the subject on the local talk show is how Obama called Sarah Palin a pig. Believe it or not the first time I heard Obama say that was on Fox News where they played the whole thing in context. So I think I will look it up on youtube and call the asshole on the radio and have him listen to it word for word. All I could find was one of the Fox Noise people playing the lipstick on a pig line and saying Obama called Palin a pig. They had cut out all his remarks about the Bush's record and they only play the punch line now, then tell you it was in reference to Sarah Palin. What a lying bunch of assholes.

9. The idea that we become one of or part of the periphery of something we focus on........

seems to get lost on people who dismiss philosophy as a legitimate endeavor.

Goes back to the idea of being careful of what we are wishing for :shrug:
