Best McCain Ad
August 28, 2008 / 11:52 am • By Dr. Melissa ClouthierKeep in mind that I’m not a huge McCain fan. I’m voting for him for the very reasons elucidated in this advertisement. Obama’s inexperience in the face of these world crises and his moral ambivalence in the face of tyrants adds up to such a troubling picture.
H/T Instapundit … Ann Althouse calls the ad “devastating“. I agree. This argument is what nags at the back of every American, including the Democrats soaking it all in in Denver. Ed Morrissey says:
“Presidential candidates get lots of criticism about policy stances during primaries that can be replayed as negative ads by their opponents. This, however, is different. It underscores Obama’s unreadiness, his unqualified status to assume the highest office in the country — and Obama himself makes that case.”

As expected, the intent of the Republican party is to breed doubt amongst Americans regarding Obama’s ability to run this country. But, it seems to me a plight of desperation. McCain is aware that he does not have the intelligence, support, strategy, or the essentially important policy creating abilities that Obama and the Democrats have. McCain is an American hero regarding his service in the military and some of his service in the U.S. Senate; but, he does not have the ability to bring this country together, repair our foreign policy and reputation, make us safer, provide programs that make the possibility for the average American to live the dream of providing their families with basic needs: home, food on the table, clothing, education, and transportation. Obama will and that is why he will become the President of the United States.

You’d think that hearing their own words would demoralize them, yet they continue their shameless self-promotion. Sadly, as most liberals are fact-averse and blinded by their hatred for Bush, this ad probably will have little negative impact for their candidate.
Although I am leery of McCain following the amnesty proposal he pushed so hard for last year (despite it being against the wishes of most Americans), I’ve liked most of what he had to say since he addressed the CPAC back in February, particularly regarding our national security.

I really admire Obama and Michelle’s accomplishments. They are intelligent people and young enough to serve us in the future. And, in addition to that, I like them both. However, for now, the lack of experience scares me. As we all know, this is a very dangerous world we live in and I think McCain is more prepared for the White House at this time.

Why are the folks supporting Obama blindly so intellectually closed to facts?
His purported “judgment” is very, very poor. Listening to Biden extoll Obama’s “wisdom” made me laugh. Wisdom comes with experience and age. The very things that can be attributed to McCain.
Yet, liberals deride McCain’s age and use words like, “senile,” and “Alzheimer’s.” Very mature and reasoned criticisms… Not.
Therefore, I do not trust liberals’ judgment, either.
I also do not trust that Obama is who he says he is. In fact, the more I read and hear about him, the more apparent his function as a useful tool for the Far Left is not a conspiracy theory any more.

22 years in the US Navy as an officer and 26 years in the US Senate beat “community organizer” (whatever that is), lawyer, and less than 1 term in the Senate any day of the week. McCain can and will be a good President.

That is so self-delusional. McCain is AWARE of all these things? Wouldn’t you like to believe it! You might as well say it of all of us who are thinking of voting for McCain: “Boy oh boy, that Obama is the Messiah of All Things, and the Democrats are correct about everything. But we’re gonna vote for the Ignorant Idiot McCain anyway.”
You can either shake your head, or you can laugh. In the end, though, it is this kind of deep ignorance (that about half the country holds intense, heartfelt beliefs and simply do not agree with your beliefs, Akil!) that we’re relying on for our victory in November. Your deep ignorance, and the accompanying deep arrogance, of elitist leftists.

After watching all of the theatre of the Democratic Convention, and acknowledging that Obama could very well be elected on just shear emotion rather than cool headed judgement, I find myself imagining what Obama’s most used questions when he meets with(God only knows), what kind of administration staff he surrounds himself with………well, what do you think we should do? What direction do you think we should take? Since we made all of these political commitments to our American citizens, now how can we make it work?

The notion that…
A. Barack Obama can “bring this country together”
B. The “reputation” of the U.S. is in need of “repairing”
…couldn’t be more wrongheaded! Two more reasons I will NOT be voting for the Obamessiah under ANY circumstances. Nice work Akil!

Akil,
that “uniter” mantra has been thrown under the bus with his race-baiting “pastor” and America-hating buddy, William Ayers.
All you have left is a extreme left-wing kook whose only experience is as a “community activist” and chairman of a boondoggle education group which wasted 45 million dollars to further Ayer’s “communists revolution” in Chicago schools.
i.e. FAILURE

As Obama’s two accomplishments are a slum and a teaching initiative that failed even by its own measure, and his associations and mentors being political fixers, Marxists, race-baiting preachers and domestic terrorists, I can see where he would only want to focus on slogans of “Hope” and “Change”. He voted “present” 130 times in the Ill. senate and had his bills written and shoved through by the Chicago political machine. Hillary looks like Churchill in comparison.

THE DEMOCRATS AND THE LEFTIST MEDIA MISINFORM THE PUBLIC ON PURPOSE …
The so called political experts, like CNN’s Bill Schneider … or CNN’s ultra biased Jack Cafferty, say that if a Republican is elected it will divide America. They try to imply that Obama is the candidate who would bring America together … but, Obama is the most divisive candidate I have ever seen. He even split his own democratic party in half. And, although the democrats try to act as if he has some kind of American mandate, the split between Obama and McCain fluctuates at around 50/50. Keep America strong, and genuine … elect McCain/Palin in November. No Wright, no Farrakahn, no Ayers, no Rezko, no mean Michelle, NOBAMA
