Why Is A Rev Wright Ad Off Limits?

... c) he isn't Bush,

Result. 99% of those voting for Barack Obama are doing so because a) they just get all mooshy and pitter pat when they hear him speak, or b) he is the Democrat, or c) he isn't Bush, or d) he is black. It sure isn't because they know who he is and what he is all about because he has been very good at making sure nobody knows that

Fox, like the other dweezubs here, has loaned her brain to the talk radio universe. You can map out the correspondences at a near 1 to 1 ratio. "We don't know who he is" and "hidden past" is repeated every day on Rush, on Prager, on the whole works of them.

Of course, once he's CIC, they'll fully support him because of national loyalty in war time.

Because it opens the Hagee door and because it didn't work for Clinton and because everyone has already heard it and anyone whose vote it would have affected is already voting for McCain and because Obama has already cut off ties with his pastor.

...because everyone has already heard it and anyone whose vote it would have affected is already voting for McCain

...because Obama has already cut off ties with his pastor

Three comments:

1) McCain said it is off limits. He sees himself as a man of his word and pulling this out at the 11th hour would increase his negatives as much as Obama's.

2) It really is old news. Clinton hammered on this, the press had a field day and everyone has heard about it.

3) It's not really off limits. I saw a McCain ad hammering on Ayers, but a pictuere of Wright was prominent in the background. Not big, not overt, but clear as day.

This is what infuriates me about Bush and his fellow Republicans.

They have, unjustifiably, tarnished the conservative brand.

I voted for them and they let me down.

Guess what though?

The Democrats will do the same, and a lot quicker.

I like McCain, but I like conservative principles more. If he has to compromise his personal principles (like every other candidate before him) to get elected, I'm OK with it.

GOP ad renews Rev. Wright

(CNN) " The Republican Party of Pennsylvania launched a last-minute television ad that calls attention to Barack Obama’s relationship with his controversial former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

The retired pastor’s ties to Obama became an issue during the primary season after controversial clips of Wright’s sermons were circulated and widely discussed on the Internet and on television.

Obama later condemned Wright’s remarks and said he would have left his church if his pastor had not retired and had not acknowledged making comments that “deeply offended people.”

Sen. John McCain has repeatedly said he does not believe Obama’s relationship to Wright should be an issue " to the ire of some Republicans who feel it raises questions about the Illinois senator’s judgment.

McCain’s running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin, appeared to suggest last month that Wright is a fair issue to raise, but said ultimately it is McCain’s decision.
