I know this is a little off topic but has anyone else seen this?
Looks like the Obama campaign doesn’t do a very thorough job when they get donations…which is really about as surprising as a Joe Biden gaff. (In other words, not really that surprising.)
It’s again, the media shaping the news. It’s far more sensationalist to push headlines that focus on the 1/3rd of McCain’s campaign trail speeches that mention Obama and/or directs negative “positive” attacks by questioning the extent of Obama’s relationship to Ayers; meanwhile ignoring the other 2/3rds of McCain’s speeches that talk “about the issues” (as if the other third dealing with character and judgment aren’t part of “the issues”).
Meanwhile, Sarah Palin and her family get dragged through the mud with a team of Obama lawyers sent to Alaska to dig for fabricated dirt; and Obama whines about the negativity of the McCain camp, calls any criticism a “distraction” and says let’s get back to “talking about the issues”, then proceeds to talk about the past with “8 years of failed policy of the Bush Administration”, then wants to tie McCain to being “more of the McSame”, even while Obama is the one who seems to want to adopt some of that “sameness”.
Yet Obama is the one that gets the free pass. As Biden might say, “he’s so clean….”
Obama falsely claimed all of McCain’s ads had been “negative.”
Obama: And 100 percent, John, of your ads – 100 percent of them have been negative.
McCain: It’s not true.
Obama: It absolutely is true.
It was almost true, for one recent week. Obama was referring to a report by the Wisconsin Advertising Project at the University of Wisconsin that concluded that “nearly 100 percent of the McCain campaign’s advertisements were negative” during the week of Sept. 28 through Oct. 4. During the same week, 34 percent of the Obama campaign’s ads were negative. The Obama campaign was found to have outspent the McCain campaign in nearly all of the competitive states, in some cases by a margin of more than 3-to-1.
McCain’s ads, however, have not been deemed 100 percent negative in other weeks. In fact, in the week after the Republican National Convention, 77 percent of Obama’s ads were negative, according to the advertising project, while 56 percent of McCain’s were negative.
Last week I spent five days in Chicago and saw Obama ad after Obama ad and only ONE McCain ad. And in today’s Detroit News they are going after Sarah Palin’s clothes. Yes her clothes. When the media has nothing other than clothes to spin in the brainwashing machine, you know they are getting real desperate.

Make no mistake, if Palins cloths were to expensive they would attack her, and if they were not expensive they would attacker. Media has to discredit the shit out of her and make her a joke otherwise she would tip the scales of balance.

isn’t factcheck owned by acorn or annenberg or something obamaish? when you are spending the amount of money that obama is spending and your opponent hasn’t sent up the white flag and it shows he is just about neck and neck with you you would think he would get a clue that he may not win. god i hope obama loses. obama has more money than god right now and he still can’t close the deal. he really is lacking in so many areas.
Fortunately, a solid truth, quality beats out quantity every time. John McCain is an honorable and patriotic candidate — and people trust him, more than anyone, as Commander-in-Chief.
I guess the Obama campaign considers anything truthful about Barack Obama something negative. But for heavens sake, Barack Obama is such a loathsome person — radical, extremist, racist, socialist — that most all of the advertising against Obama, to them, is negative. Truth is, if you have such a negative character as is Obama, you can’t help but be negative about and against Obama.
What’s really wild about this election is that Barack Obama has not only spent hundreds of millions of dollars (over half a billion) on his campaign, but the MSM has provided protection, apologetic coverage, and promotion valued also at hundreds of millions of dollars; and guess what, Obama is ONLY two points ahead of McCain; and maybe McCain is really 10 to15 points ahead. With the Bradley effect, Obama may really be far, far behind McCain.
So much for a lot of commercials and a whole lot of wasted money. Truth be told, Obama and his unsavory associations, policies, plans, and socialism STINK.
Obama is massively outspending McCain in every area of the campaign. He has TEN TIMES the number of field offices in key states like Florida and Virginia than McCain does.
If a Republican had raised this much money we would be reading stories every day about how money has corrupted the political system.

That amazes me how the media is getting away with this blackout. Keep the faith, we will prevail.

I think they should investigate where NEO (The One) Bama keeps his money. Most likely over seas. Funny how all the Celebrities and rich ppl with socialist beliefs have there money over seas. No heavy tax on them. We “spread the wealth around” and they live “high on the hog”.

You know what i say to that, here is what http://www.factcheck.org said:
100% Negative?

Please someone argue factcheck.org with me.
And According to the same Wisconsin study Obama has aired 50,000 MORE ADS THAN MCCAIN.
50,000.
Jesus Mike, are you serious?
I guess when you got the media backing you, as well as foreign money, sky’s the limit.
Ya know even with all that boosting Obama, McCain still has a shot. Thats how you know McCains the man.

God bless John McCain, Sarah Palin and America.
Custer: The 50,000 Obama ad blitz over what McCain is sending out is from page one of the Wisconsin report:

Oh yeah…. It’s ALLL McCain’s fault….

MCK: Are you just THAT MUCH of a lackey for Obama?
