McCain Commercial Hints Obama the Anti-Christ

After likening his opponent to Britney and Paris you might have thought that McCain could not sink any lower. Oh but you'd be so very wrong. His campaign is now running a commercial that coyly hints that Obama is the Anti-Christ himself.

An Antichrist Obama in McCain Ad? - TIME

Hehe. I would be the first one to vote for the Anti-Christ :P.

mccain and obama both suck. the mccain ads and e-mail propaganda targeting obama are ridiculous though.

I support Obama because it's time for a major change and McCain would just be more of the same. I realize that he's not the most experienced and I probably would have rather had another candidate* like maybe Edwards up until the recent debacle but then again what experience did Dubya have? Running Texas hardly makes one a world class leader. (Why they elected him back in the day I don't know.) Anyway, he surrounded himself with experienced folks from his daddy's administration and the results were just terrible. Between the unnecessary war and his letting politics and religion reign over logic and science in so many policies plus of course always doing his best to help the rich over the average folks his administration has been a disaster for this country. McCain isn't Bush but I think we need a more serious change.

Also, I think that Obama being a black man would have very positive effects on world opinion at this juncture in history. Let's face it, thanks to Bush going to war on a country that never attacked us and by all accounts had nothing to do with 9/11 nor was, at that moment in history, an actual threat to us, we are now more reviled around the world than ever before. Electing Obama would be a first step to righting the image of the USA. People around the world are going to think "wow...maybe there really is something to the American rhetoric about how any of them can grow up to be president. Maybe it's not just propaganda after all." I think an Obama victory would be a very good thing.

* Hilary would be a very capable person but I didn't particularly want her as candidate as she would attract so much anti-Clinton hatred that she either could not be elected or if she was would not be able to get anything done and no doubt they'd be out trying to get the goods on her from day one like they did her husband.

I wish Gore would have run. Although I supported him in 2000 only in recent years have I realized how great a president he would've / could've been.

saying change and implementing change are two different things - not only that but all change is not for the better. i think obama is very charismatic and likeable but i think his ideas are mostly wrong. he has been moderating his speech lately though - he's trying to move towards the center whereas before he was much further left.

to me, the biggest issue has always been the economy - it affects everything else. you look even just 1 year ago today and the economy was not the #1 issue, now it is impossible to turn on CNN without them pointing it out because it's constantly blanketed across the screen. almost everything comes back to the economy though, ie. health care is really just a result of current economic and monetary policy. same with the housing market.

i will vote for whoever i think will do the best there. i hope mccain wins because i think he would be better than obama, although i expect him to do wrong things - just not as many as obama. i also think republican president and demo congress will equal some gridlock, whereas both together will zoom through things like out of control social programs. i'm not voting for mccain or obama but i am kind of hoping mccain wins. either way i think things like the housing bailout will go down as a failure - that's already being passed with bush though. other things that i think will fail - another round of an "economic stimulus package" - i would expect mccain to pass this just as much as obama though really. at least if obama spends more and makes things even worse, it will clear the path for someone like a ron paul republican in 4 more years.

i think our biggest problem is borrowing and printing and spending far more money than we have. mccain is not going to change this. obama is not going to change this. mccain has a poor understanding of economics, and obama's understanding is built on hope, not reality.
