McCain Issues Campaign Order To Supporters:

[Jack_Savage]

Do not bring up reverend Wright or anything he has said because it is below the belt politics. He was responding to a Republican Party ad for a campaign in North Caroliana:

The 30-second ad calls Obama too extreme for North Carolina.
McCain told reporters on his campaign bus today that he's made it clear to the state GOP that there's no place for that kind of campaigning. He says the American people don't want it.
McCain says he hasn't seen the ad -- but that it was described to him.

He wants all FC'ers and other supporters to listen up! Do not stoop to the level of the North Carolina GOP! Do not talk about Reverend Wright! Do not attack William Ayers and Bernadette Dorn! Leave the entire and disgusting Weather Underground connection to Obama alone!

Remember he is the Admirals Son, not just anybody. I think he wants to bond with Kerry and Kennedy at Camp David without any campaign baggage.

It's really quite clever. It's like getting a double bite at the apple. The attack ads run, and McCain gets to appear all noble in denouncing the ads, meanwhile bringing even more attention to those ads.

It is in fact, the most clever campaign twist I have ever seen. He knows he can't stop these kinds of ads, all he can do is appear that HE is personally being very respectful at saying "pay no attention to the elephant in the room even if everyone else is pointing out the elephant in the room".

It's really quite masterful. When the general election time comes and the obamination runs attack ads, John McCain can appear rightously aggrieved and say "Hey I didn't attack you, and objected when others did" making the obamination a twit. Meanwhile the attack ads are running 24/7.

I love it.

McPain, buy a clue: being nice to RATs will get you f**ked.

[Gato es Verde]

Since I'm not a McLame supporter, I'm not very receptive to his orders.

It may be a smart move for pulling in more liberals to his side, and your insight is always good, but I would rather see McCain and the other liberals speak out loudly against Reverend Wrights congregation of hate. McCains comments are a rude awakening as to how far America has slid. McCain hasen't even condemed Obama, and his close campaign advisors who state he is friendly to Willaim Ayers, the Weather Underground mastermind.

If avioding that issue is masterful then we are really in a sorry state. But remember I am not a fan of McCains and will not be supporting him come election time. I will be voting for members of Congress who hopefully will keep a keen eye on what he and his pal's like Kerry and Kennedy try to do if he gets elected. Right now that possibility is a toss up.

[Kathy30]

You'll see plenty of obaminationmud, from the 527s from the RNC itself.

[Jack_Savage]

I just saw a clip on Hannity or O'Reilly talking about Washington State Republicans who are upset at North Carolina GOP contenders airing ad's on Reverend Wright's hate speech.

Conservatives problems aren't with those who are disgusted about Reverend Wright and his close alliance with Obama, its with the weak kneed faction in the Republican Party who is so afraid to speak out for fear of being politically incorrect. If thats who fills the cubicals at Republican headquarters, it would be better if they lost the election. Who wants a bunch of nansy-pansies worried more about how history will view them, instead of standing up to the punks like William Ayers?

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

And here's my message to McCain, Obama, and Hillary (http://www.freeconservatives.com/vb/showthread.php?t=58717)

[Kathy30]

The Rev. Wright had something to say too. I wonder if he realized what he was saying when asked how he felt about the obamination denouncing his anti American sermons.

He said "He's a politician, he'll say anything."

It reminded me of the obamination's wink wink at Canada when he was for NAFTA when he lied about being against it.

And you supported Rudy Giuliani who is even far worse than McCain that makes alot of sense.

How someone could support a Pro-Abortionist Gun Grabbing Republican(guiliani) and not support a Republican who is Pro-Life and Pro-Gun and Anti-Pork means they are a hypocrate.

-- John McCain, Aug 25, 1999

"I look forward to the debate" on embryonic stem cell research. "It's a very complex scientific issue. But for us to throw away opportunities to cure diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's and many others I think would be a mistake."

This might be the ad in question.

Eff John McCain. And the horse he rode in on.

Give it to the Dems.

The Republican-Powers-That-Be --not a conservative among them, are never going to listen to we Peasants until we storm the castle.

I'm ready to grab a pitchfork and swim the moat.

[DoctorDoom]

The ad is NOT for McCAin. It's against NC guberrnatorial candidates.

Straight talk time, Johnny: STFU!

[DeclinetoState]

This November, we will have to make a choice between a two-faced left-of-center RINO and a two-faced left-of-center proto-socialist.

What a hell of a choice.

Stick to the topic of the thread son.

He knows that. He believes that it makes the GOP look bad. That, in turn, reflects back on him.

[EveningStar]

I played the ad again. I didn't see the racism.

But I do have a problem with it.

It's perfectly OK to question Obama's association with the reverend Wright. In fact, it would be irresponsible to not do so.

However, it's a stretch to say that because the two gubernatorial candidates support Obama, they should then be not be elected to office because of Obama's association with the Ranting Reverend. That's retarded.

Such an ad will not help the GOP.

McCain is right on this one.

[NowhereMan]

The ad seems pretty much aimed against Obama rather than the two candidates. I can't decide if they thought that this was an easy way of associating the two with an issue they knew people would recognise or if they're trying an 'Operation Chaos' style attempt to hurt Obama's campaign in NC.

Either way frankly it seems like the ad is disingenuous, either it's an attempt to try and associate the two candidates with something that really hasn't got anything to do with them or it's an attempt to influence the other party's primary. I'd say distancing himself from it is a good move on McCain's part.

[Longhorn_Platinum]

:unsmile: Pretending to distance himself is more accurate. Republicans should play the Wright controversy like a violin. If the situation was reversed, our candidate would be toast, so we should do no less.

Yes. Republicans should play the Wright controversy. Intelligently.

[Longhorn_Platinum]

:moo: Yep, we should beat it like a drum.

[dPrasse]

It's really quite clever.

It would be clever if McVain hadn't spent the last many many years siding with and supporting the Enemies of Conservatives ... the Socialists of America ...

no , this is another move by McPain and the RINO Party of America to draw more liberals into the Big Tent of RINO Mediocrity ... :confused:

The RINo Party is much more interested in winning at all costs , no matter how much it must sell Conservatives out , rather than winning in the Battle arena of Ideas using winning ideas ... Conservativism :noggin:...

[DeclinetoState]

McCain has few if any "supporters," at least among the conservative wing of the GOP. Because of that, they won't feel obligated to listen to anything he tells "supporters." This will leave conservatives free to remind people of the extreme positions held by Obama's friends and supporters, like "Rev." Wright. And that might be the only thing that gets McCain elected to the White House in November.
