McCain Ad: Gaffin' Joe To Create More Patriots!

[cwo_ghwebb]

Team McCain goes back to using ridicule as a finely honed weapon. In this ad, though, rather than poke fun at Barack Obama’s celebrity, they instead take the gift that Joe Biden gave them on taxes and unwrap it deliciously, noting that an Obama-Biden administration would result in “lots more patriots”

Biden certainly put his foot in his mouth. Just when the media had started to push back a little on the picture that John McCain had painted about Barack Obama being a big-time taxer, Biden tells the media that paying higher taxes is a patriotic duty. And when given the chance to retreat a little, Biden instead makes it sound like a religious duty as well.

The media pushback has always been disingenuous anyway. They point to Obama’s tax plan on income tax only, without mentioning the hikes on capital-gains rates and corporate taxes that Obama plans. They never mention that 70% of the country is in the investor class now and will run afoul of the new capital-gains tax rates, or that higher corporate taxes mean higher prices — and more companies relocating outside the US. Does Obama think that businesses just eat costs? Either prices go up or jobs get cut, the same as they do when Congress arbitrarily raises labor costs by increasing the minimum wage.

When the socialists gift wrap a present, thank them for being so generous with someone else's money (generally, your own).

That's a fun commercial

Damn it, though, I don't want Joe Biden to do dumb things because I genuinely like him. He's not an idiot, even though he's a liberal - if he'd been at the top of the Dem ticket, and there was no Palin on the Rep side, I may have even voted for him.

But he really is. I used to see him every day; and he had to be an idiot to go around with those hairplugs and thinking they looked real. He had the worst fake hair on the Hill this side of James Trafficant. And now Trafficant is locked up so......

He's their Dan Quayle. A genuinely nice, intelligent, sincere guy who has foot in mouth disease.
