Only McCain's campaign would be capable of twisting "teaching kindergarteners to watch out for stranger danger" into "a comprehensive sex education program for kindergarteners".

I'm glad he's coming under increased fire for this, and I'm actually impressed that the Republican party is finally starting to do something. Maybe there's hope that the conservatives can finally wrestle control of their party back from the fringe neocons.

Well, duh. Do rats want to be caught on a sinking ship?

It's a NYT article. The idiot freepers think everything that comes from the NYT is false. The facts don't matter.

bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... yeah, keep dreaming. I'm going to go watch "Idiocracy".

cameroncrazy1984: Well, duh. Do rats want to be caught on a sinking ship?

Good point. But politicians generally stick together. Unless they're running against each other, they very rarely go against a party member. For Republicans to start getting edgy against their candidate in an election they desperately need to win really says a lot about how poorly his campaign is being run.

I know, I know, it's a long shot. But I can hope. At the risk of sounding like one of those "BOTH SIDES ARE JUST AS BAD HURRRRR" idiots, I'm not wild about a number of things that the Democratic party wants. But until the Republican party can erase the "neo" from "conservative", there's no way I can get behind them.

It's not working anymore. Most of us have figured out their game. They are embarrassing themselves.

/crosses fingers that this is true

John McCain has proven himself to be without honor or dignity. He's not only a disgrace to the Republican party, he's a disgrace to America.

God, how I hope so. Please, America. Please tell me that you're not going to reward these lying sacks of shiat with the Presidency. That's going to set a very dangerous precedent in American politics for years to come if they get away with this shiat.

I agree but don't you think the precedent has already been set over and over again during the Bush years? Or even before... the Monica Lewinsky affair could arguably have been what first set the table for all of this to eventually be acceptable.

Jamespoon: I agree but don't you think the precedent has already been set over and over again during the Bush years? Or even before... the Monica Lewinsky affair could arguably have been what first set the table for all of this to eventually be acceptable.

I don't think that the Lewinsky affair is the same thing. Clinton lied about it and was hounded for that lie for years afterwards. Fast-forward to the John McCain campaign, laying out the lies like a machine gun and it doesn't seem to be hurting his chances at winning the Presidency. Bush's incredible amount of dirty dealings has dulled people's outrage over scumbag politics, I guess.

The Palin fanaticism is quickly coming to a close and the Republicans are wondering why they got so drunk on her.

Palin is a Pet Rock with lipstick and a pants suit. The fad has ended.

I don't see any "fellow Republicans" calling out McCain's attack ads anywhere in that article. The only one affiliated with the GOP that they talk to is a "Republican Advertising Strategist" -- who the hell knows what that means.

Chris Farley vehicles were always chock full of life lessons.

That post made my head explode.

There are pieces of my brain all over my room.

Thanks a lot.

cameroncrazy1984: That post made my head explode.

The headline says "they're finally being criticized by prominent politicians" -- where is there ANYTHING like that in the linked article?

Lando Lincoln: I don't think that the Lewinsky affair is the same thing. Clinton lied about it and was hounded for that lie for years afterwards.

The Lewinsky affair was an asinine issue that was artificially inflated into a giant scandal. That was the precedent that was set, more so than any of Clinton's lies. Since then Bush and McCain have gone down that exact same route in order to win their political battles, swift boating character assassinations and all. That's more what I was trying to get at.

John McCain is a lying sack of shiat. And he knows this is his last shot at being president so he is willing to do and say ANYTHING that he thinks could win him the election. Hillary did the same thing in the primaries knowing that if Obama won her next shot would be in 8 years which would put her at 68 or 69 (if I remember correctly).

Glad to see his strategery backfiring on him. He deserves to lose in the biggest landslide in recent history.

Prominent politicians can pertain to either Dems or Republicans, but not necessarily both, in that context.

cameroncrazy1984: Prominent politicians can pertain to either Dems or Republicans, but not necessarily both, in that context.

If that's true, then why does the headline immediately reference "fellow Republicans"?

CravenMorehead: He deserves to lose in the biggest landslide in recent history.

You better hope there's some justice in this world.

KaponoFor3: If that's true, then why does the headline immediately reference "fellow Republicans"?

It's Fark headline, they're rarely completely accurate.

I'm curious, do you condone McCain's lying?

If that disgusting, repulsive sex ed advertisement becomes McCain's downfall, American politics would be all the better for it. But it would take the horribly biased pro-Obama liberal media to ACTUALLY START ACTING LIKE IT...and I don't trust them to do that.

KaponoFor3: cameroncrazy1984: Prominent politicians can pertain to either Dems or Republicans, but not necessarily both, in that context.

Because the format of the headline allows for multiple sentences, not necessarily directly related.

Are you really going to try to distract by discussing semantics?

Do you condone this ad?

OMG did you know that all politicians are liars and both sides stretch the truth???? This makes it all OK. This is why i am INDEPENDENT. But not really.

/typing that made my brain hurt

Good, I hope this week is all about McCain the liar. 8 years of Bush. 60 years of economic data showing 99% of Americans do worse, and that the bottom 20% do much worse when Republicans are in charge. [1] We don't need Bush's third term.

floor9: Maybe there's hope that the conservatives can finally wrestle control of their party back from the fringe neocons.

It breaks my heart to think that I may not see a decent Republican in what's left of my lifetime. Hell, I'd settle for a real independent before I'm in a rocking chair but even that seems like a huge stretch.

floor9: Maybe there's hope that the conservatives can finally wrestle control of their party back from the fringe neocons.

here's to hoping for just that.

The ad is factual.

Obama just calls the ad a lie, but never corrects what he said in the ad.

We can all look up what he said and see that Obama is wrong.

I will say there's one thing Obama and Bush have in common, they both can't admit to a mistake.

We don't need him, and American's are starting to realize it.

I like the way each line of a TCS post is just a brief little simplified snippet of an idea. At least the stupid would be creative and interesting if he was capable of expressing complex thoughts instead of the usual...

"See Spot."

"See Spot run."

"Run spot, run."

Of course not.

If you realize that McCain/Palin is dangerous, and you cannot in good conscience vote for Obama/Biden, the vote Barr, another candidate, spoil your vote or abstain. Every vote counts in some way.

Another thing they have in common; neither of them blame their mistakes on their wives. Or as you would say, wive's.
