Whoa, mama. The boys over at the DNC have manned up and released two ass-stomping ads against John McCain this week. They’ve sent out an email today encouraging friends and family to forward them to one another. I’ve got to be honest; these are really, really good ads. The first is, of course, an ad that is certainly just the beginning of a long-term strategy to sink McCain on his “100 years” in Iraq quote.

The difference between talking straight and talking shit seems to be a very fine line these days. From the mouth of John McCain:

I think it’s very clear who Hamas wants to be the next president of the United States. So apparently has Danny Ortega and several others. I think that people should understand that I will be Hamas’s worst nightmare….If senator Obama is favored by Hamas I think people can make judgments accordingly.

And this is why Obama’s my guy:

Sen. Barack Obama on Saturday called a proposal by Sen. John McCain for a federal gas tax holiday the “latest scheme” from the likely Republican presidential nominee.

The Illinois Democrat suggested such a tax break would weaken the nation’s funding stream for highway and bridge infrastructure, potentially putting lives at risk.

No surprise to those of us who know Republican economic policy (rob the poor to give to the rich), but McCain’s economic plan — unveiled yesterday — offered more of the same: corporate tax cuts for the rich, gas tax suspension for everyone else. He’s looking to slash corporate taxes by nearly a third from 35% to 25%. I’d call that an incredible overreach. That would cost the government — and the American people — untold billions at a time when our budget is stretched to the breaking point.

The average American is struggling with higher gas costs, higher food costs, higher health costs, and higher education costs, and despite spending less on food, clothing and major appliances that the previous generation, the average household has less disposable income than they did thirty-five years ago, despite most homes now having two earners. The Center of Budget and Policy Priorities released a report to date demonstrating the lower and middle class squeeze:

For some reason the media thinks we liberal bloggers are being unfair to McCain in describing his support for a hundred years of war in Iraq (for the record he’s gone as a high as a million years), and while they are correct in that McCain speaks of a long occupation as of the kind we have in on the Korean Peninsula or Kuwait, what they fail to recognize is that for McCain’s plan to work, we have to “win” in Iraq first. Otherwise, we can’t expect to be there without our soldiers being killed and maimed. So, regardless of how McCain intended the statement, implicit in it is the fact that we’ll have to remain in Iraq however long it takes to win the war. After which, he’s comfortable keeping us there for centuries more.

Recently, I’ve been reading a lot of comments by both Obama and Hillary supporters that they would refuse to vote for the other if their candidate failed to get the nomination. I’ve seen such comments here and elsewhere on the internet. There is honestly a segment of voters who would refuse to vote Democratic if they don’t get exactly who they want on the ticket. Most often, this “reasoning” is followed by the statement that they would rather vote for McCain than have to vote for a Democrat they didn’t support in the primaries. This, quite frankly, is beyond asinine. The differences between Obama and Hillary are minimal and are mostly focused on foreign policy. Obama is a bit more diplomatic in his approach. Hillary is slightly more hawkish. Both are far from the rabid lunacy of neo-conservative policy.
