HRC's words come home to roost (McBush Advert)
Sitting at the AmVets post here in Big Rapids, MI. The local newscast is on the telebiszan. Two-thirds of the adverts are for presidential campaigns. But there's one McBush ad that pissed me off.

It shows Hillary Clinton at some venue during the primaries saying that Obama was not ready to be president... too inexperienced. The ad makes great hay out of Senator Clinton's words, repeating them both verbally and in print and finishes with a tagline in huge letters, "Was she right?". Paid for by the RNC.

Thank you Senator Clinton for doing for the Republicans what McBush cannot do.

I certainly hope that the Obama campaign responds to this... But I can see no way that Senator Clinton can respond without hurting Obama more. The damage is done and the Repukes are attempting to capitalize on it.

Dispicable.

3. Ahem! Pay attention.
The McBush campaign is using Senator Clinton's words *against* Obama, just as one could have predicted.
This is happening *now*, not during the primary.

If the Repukes uses Clinton's words against Obama and he loses to McBush, I will *NEVER* get over it.

6. Yes, we all can get over it in November....
The issue is running a divisive primary campaign. That's the only issue here. I *am* over the primaries. However, I am merely pointing out that when a Democratic candidate uses divisive rhetoric it can and will come home to roost in the general election. Such things hurt *all* Democrats.

That's something we all can learn here. So, fuck the "Get over it" bullshit. Listen and learn.

9. Has anyone seen the new ad that was promised for tonight
by the mccain people that is suppose to knock Obama out of the spotlight. That should not be it because I saw it a couple of days ago. I saw one today, but I think it is an older one also. I am watching the convention on C-Span so I will not be seeing any tonight. Just wondering?
