I’ll See Your Attack Ad and Raise You a Bin Laden

It’s getting ugly out there. With just a day to go before the much anticipated Pennsylvania primary, the Democrats are running a blitz of negative ads, like this one from Hillary Clinton that features a cameo from a certain bearded terrorist.

Watch it:

Lets see ...

bin-Laden is dead. al-Qaeda is a fiction created by the CIA. Iran doesn’t have a nuclear bomb, Saddam didn’t either. George W. Bush deserted from the military. 9/11 was an inside job. The economy sucks. Rice loves torture. Cheney loves war and torture. Bush loves war and torture and Bush. And kidney stones hurt, but not enough to make the health-care-provider speed up that specialist appointment.

Now, of these few of many horrible realities, which ones does Hillary get? Or Obama for that matter.

No matter who wins the nomination, I hope we can reach them with a few facts they don’t have and we all know. Might be easier with Obama, since he kinda avoids these kind of crappy commercials. They’re so very republican, you know ...

Re: bin-Laden is dead, but.......

Quote Louise: “...al-Qaeda is a fiction created by the CIA...”

Correction - al-Qaeda is a fiction FUNDED by the CIA...”, uhh.

Sad about Hillary threatening to blow up IRAN if Israel is attacked, though. All it needs is a setup by Israel to get things started...........

But, Americans should give up Bin Laden for BIN LANG (betel nut) instead, ha ha http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJo7ZkLwkng&feature =related

Very ugly and disturbing coming from this desperate ugly Hillary, using the tactics of fear-mongering used by neocons for over seven years to keep Americans submissive, fearful and insecure!

Shame on you Hillary! You’re a disgrace for democracy!

Elvis sighting

After a trillion dollars spent, this guy goes for his afternoon stroll, no problemo.

Time to get some new bloodhounds and fire all the generals.

Re:

I think you’re right.

Matter-of-fact, I’m sure of it.

Bush for dictator, and she approves this ad.

(I don’t).

Based on Hillary’s plan for a “nuclear umbrella” operation in the middle east, (install more nukes to deter nukes that don’t exist) I’d say she ain’t got nothin’ on the dead Osama bin Laden.

In other words, if Hillary doesn’t scare the living shit out of us, nobody else can.

Does this mean she has what it takes? (and here I thought Dick Bush was the most powerful terrorist on the globe).

Re: if Hillary doesn’t scare the living shit

Well, there ya go, eh..... Hillary’s finally got herself a strap-on dick to “scare the living shit out of” all those American male misogynists, uhh!

If that’s what those guys want, then let’s give to’em..... (the American public, that is)

Look out for cyrena at the end of this clip, though, ha ha http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYFkrlcy6r4&feature =related

Wrong way.... go back!!!

Love the way that now-deceased OBL is continuously fondly remembered. He appears in this clip as though he was a US citizen strolling casually across the screen in some cameo role.....

For Christs sake, though, WAKE UP America! Get real about what you are doing to the world...... The result of wars - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tm5Vx_jh7PQ&feature =related

Negative?

Doesn’t seem that negative to me. Either candidate should be willing to ask voters the same question: Who do you think has what it takes?

As for whether either one is really more qualified than the other...I’ll pass.
