Barack Obama Compared to Spears and Hilton?

Politics finds its way to RopeofSilicon again

BY: Brad Brevet | July 30th 2008 at 9:35 PM

I considered posting this on my blog, but after the interest the Religulous post received from a few of you I figured you may have something to say about John McCain's latest ad that actually compares Barack Obama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.

In an effort for full disclosure, I am an Obama supporter, but I think the country could do a whole hell of a lot worse than John McCain. However, I think this is a pure sign that this election is headed toward the negative. And with 97 days until the election and no Vice Presidential selections for either side and no debates scheduled it is hard to figure out just what exactly is going on.

Take a look at the video below and you tell me… Fair? Or Foul?

Yep, the old-fashioned, and for US politics very traditional, mud slinging is coming into play again.
Don't sell yourself by telling the voters what you plan to do for them just tell them how bad the other candidate is……sheesh.

Tell me, what the hell do you base your vote on?

On what planet is Obama the biggest celebrity? I bet you at least 15% of American don't know who either of these fellas are. But they could pick Tiger or Jordan out of a lineup.

Anyway, McCain is doomed so he figured he might as well go down swinging. I'm starting the think the GOP is throwing this election on purpose.
