Latest spot airing in Georgia suggests the Arizonan deliberately let the former Christian Coalition head off the hook in his Indian Affairs Committee investigation of Jack Abramoff’s Indian lobbying.

1. It is about F'ng time

:spank:

[Cha]

27. Nobody in the Obama campaign is on your schedule, roberto.

[tokenlib]

2. What ?? I love Ralph Reed!!! To kick around that is!!!!!

COOL!!!! :)

[FrenchieCat]

3. That one is really good! just not for John McCain!

[ikojo]

4. Awesome!!! Now we need him to

show "the hug over and over again...wrap George W Bush around McCain's neck, Obama!

[RollWithIt]

5. I personally love that they waited a little bit to start the shock & awe campaign....

We let McCain portray himself as Mr. Negative. Most people aren't really paying attention to the meat and bones of the campaign yet. Obama is still really an unknown. A great convention speech and a couple debate massacres and this thing is over.

9. I KNoW right? The man is so politically astute it makes Kerry and Gore look like children. I just

love the way Obama plays ball. I hope to God he becomes President because he will be way more interesting and proactive than any other in modern history.

[Cha]

28. I, personally, like it

too! Welcome to DU, RollWithIt.

[medicswife]

6. Yes! :) Tying Bush and McCain together at the end is good too. n/t

[rinsd]

7. That is good stuff

[NashVegas]

8. Won't This Help McDouche With Evangelicals?

Just sayin' ...

[Dawgs]

10. Reed got his ass kicked in 06' when he ran for LT. Governer in GA.

I'm not sure Reed is liked very much around here.

And, who the fuck cares about evangelicals? They will be voting for McCain regardless.

[NashVegas]

25. I Was Under the Impression

Evangelicals were expecting to stay home this year.

Good to know Reed isn't much like there, at least.

[Cha]

29. Yeah, right.

[Colobo]

11. BOOOOOOOM!

[DFLforever]

12. It's great and they have a 26 yrs old record to pry out more.!

Think we'll hear about The Keating One?

[Cha]

31. Why not? It's a crucial part of sleazebag's

history.

[Phx_Dem]

13. Sweet. n/t

[elkston]

14. Why Georgia, though? I don't think we realistically have a chance there. n/t

[CitizenPatriot]

17. yes, we do. Georgia is in play this year.

Not only did Georgia go Dem in 2006 (it is only due to the now proven voting fraud on the dieobld machines that chambliss won -- it's called vote switching and a good person from sos turned the machines in to GOP world computer security specialist Spoonamore, who found the device).

Georgia is full of Democrats, have no fear.

[Cha]

32. Why not Georgia since that's where young ralphie

does his dirty work.

[nc4bo]

15. Pow! and not P.O.W. pow either lol. Great ad. nt

[DainBramaged]

16. That's takin off the gloves?

This is takin off the gloves

1) Bring up his adultery

2) His PRONOUNCED lack of faith

3) His multiple homes

4) his complete support for Booshe


should I continue?

[flpoljunkie]

19. His ads note that McCain voted 95% with Bush. The other stuff would be very unwise to put in ads.

[DainBramaged]

23. WHY? He's kicking the shit out of Obama, why not respond in kind

we are ALLWAYS going to be the almost ran nice guys and another 16 fucking years of Rethug rule.

Kick McSame in the nuts, no more Mr. Nice guy.

[thewiseguy]

30. Actually he needs to go there. That voting record wont get us many votes.

The Obama camp really needs to go after McCain. This is not really taking the gloves off.

[calimary]

18. It's About Frickin' TIME!

And even this isn't enough. Not NEARLY enough.

I'm sorry, Barack. You're gonna have to wade into the mud and get dirty. Until WE hold the White House and set the policies and the agenda and the national dialogue and all the rest of it - so we can start reforming and pulling our politics out of the sewer, THIS IS HOW THE GAME HAS TO BE PLAYED. You can shower off and sweeten up again AFTER IT'S OVER and you have the Oval Office keys hanging on your key ring. NOT A NANOSECOND BEFORE!!! The time to be gracious and genteel is AFTER YOU'VE WON. NOT BEFORE.

The high road takes you straight over a cliff. We didn't start this, but we CAN finish it. But ONLY if we WIN.

[tedoll78]

20. I really hope that this isn't considered..

.. "taking off the gloves."

Wow.

[Born_A_Truman]

21. This works with honest people

Not sure how those who love the current administration feel or care about corruption since they haven't cared for 8 years.

[WinkyDink]

22. Americans barely know who Dick Cheney is, let alone Ralph Reed.

[anonymous171]

24. YES! ATTACK HIS CHARACTER! GOOD JOB OBAMA!

[Cha]

26. Killer ad! Don't ralphie reed and jack abramoff

make a cozy couple!

And, now peeps are really starting to pay attention with the Olympics winding up and Obama is right on track.
