McCain Steals Another Obama Cliché

First John McCain hopped on the change bandwagon, and now he sounds like he gave the keynote speech at the 2004 Democratic convention. The money quote in this new ad is better in the original Barack Obama.

“Week” from John McCain:

I wish I could recall which program it was on, but the day after the debate between Obama and McCain (the pseudomaverick) McCain, in an interview, three times called himself a “Teddy Roosevelt Republican.”

Oh, the horror! The horror!

The more he repeats these things, the more I’m inclined to believe he’s trying to convince himself.

What McCain is trying to do is to cancel out every other difference between him and Obama so that it comes down to a question of whether you want an (experienced) WHITE GUY to run the country or an (inexperienced) GUY WHO IS OBVIOUSLY NOT WHITE AND HAS AN UNUSUAL SOUNDING NAME.

Fuck them BOTH.

FREE AMERICA

REVOLUTIONARY (DIRECT) DEMOCRACY
