Friend --

A few hours ago John McCain, the same man who just months ago promised to run a "respectful campaign," said he is "proud" of his latest attack ad.


John not running a "respectful campaign"?? That's the Pot calling the Kettle Black. Who first committed to public funding and then backed out by crying foul? I'm sure McCain is very *proud* of his ad.


That's the one attacking your enthusiasm, comparing me to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, and making false claims about my energy plan.


The claims are 100% true. Attacking who's enthusiasm, mine?? I hardly think so. I see now you will use the keyword *attacking* throughout the rest of the message.


Now, we're facing some serious challenges in this country -- our economy is struggling, energy costs are skyrocketing, and families don't have health care.

Given the seriousness of these issues, you'd think we'd be having a serious debate. But instead, John McCain is running an expensive, negative campaign against us. Each day brings a desperate new set of attacks.


Serious debate? You mean by rehearsing the "Change, Hope and Unity" Mantra or do you mean by always playing the race card which you often do?

I see you introduced another keyword - "desparate"



And they're not just attacking me. They're attacking you.

They're mocking the desire of millions of Americans to step up and take ownership of the political process.


Oh, I see. Now John McCain is again attacking our desire. How is he attacking me? No pal, it's just you. Oh, and how can we really "own" the political process as you are suggesting. You always let us down by massive flip-flops and gaffes.



They're trying to convince you that your enthusiasm won't amount to anything -- that the people you persuade, the phone calls you make, the donations you give, the doors you knock on are all an illusion. They believe that in this election the same old smears and negative attacks will prevail again.

They're wrong.



So, you're telling me that John McCain and his campaign are trying to convince me that my *enthusiasm won't amount to anything* by attacking you? All my hard work in promoting you will be no good now if McCain wins? Are you trying to make me feel guilty here? It will be an illusion? They'll believe they won based on "old smears"? Hmmm.


And right now, we have a few hours left to prove them wrong in a very concrete way.

Make a donation of $5 or more before the July fundraising deadline at midnight tonight:

donate.barackobama.com...

Show the strength of our movement for change.

Thank you,

Barack

Great - tell me we only have so much time to respond and that you need my money or we'll miss the window of oppurtunity.

Do not make this attack on you personal for me Obama. It spoke more truth than you would care to know yet will find out come November.

First, it's an email. How can we even be sure it's legit, just like the soldier email who said Obama snubbed soldiers?

I do question though how McCain is lying about Obama's energy program. We know where Obama stands and I haven't heard McCain making any outlandish accusations that don't match up to where Obama stands on the energy crisis. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Lastly, on getting things done in Congress. I need to point out again that Bush has recently done his part by lifting the executive ban on offshore drilling. He could have said he was waiting for Congress to back him up, but he went ahead and did it. His reasons were clear - he wanted to show everyone that Congress is the only stumbling block left.

"This means that the only thing standing between the American people and these vast oil reserves is action from the U.S. Congress," Bush said.


www.cnn.com...

So far, Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and the rest of them keep finding excuses not to do their part and do away with the rest of the bans to allow this to go forward. Instead, they author bills like the completely bogus Consumer First Energy Act of 2008 which would have raised gas prices and caused a repeat of the 70's energy crisis with long lines at the pumps and filling stations running out of supply (discussed here www.abovetopsecret.com...).

I agree that Congress needs to be doing more, and both candidates ought to be criticizing all members of Congress for not putting the American people first.

a side-note: If you dont want to promote Obama, take off that avatar. It makes Obama look like an intelligent, handsome and able man.

As to the email: The same hot-air any politician (including McCain) blows off.

Where are all the media "fact checks", that are so popular every time McCain goes after Obama?

reply to post by southern_Guardian


This is the new tactic the righties have here, use racial undertones to bring down Obama then when accused, make the "race card" claim. Its just pathetic.


The ONLY people I ever see bring up race is you lefties on here and in the media.

I was so wrong about Barack Obama. he is the light, he is the salvation to all mankind.


Hallowed, are the Obamatrons.
