Lipstick on a Pig
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: The Republican campaign machine is run by mean, nasty brutes who are utterly devoid consciences.
If they had any scruples at all they’d look at their output of ads built on bullshit and lies and feel so sick inside they’d stop churning them out. But like I said, they wont do that, they’ll do this:
On Tuesday, Obama criticized McCain’s policies as similar to those of President Bush, saying: “You can put lipstick on a pig. It’s still a pig. You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It’s still going to stink after eight years.”
The McCain campaign immediately jumped on the comments, arguing they were directed at Palin, the GOP’s first woman on a presidential ticket. In her acceptance speech last week, she had referred to herself in a joke about lipstick being the only difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull.
Accusing Obama of “smearing” Palin in “offensive and disgraceful” comments, the McCain campaign demanded an apology. The McCain campaign on Wednesday issued an Internet ad that said Obama was talking about Palin and said of Obama: “Ready to lead? No. Ready to smear? Yes.”
Do Republicans really want us to believe that they are too stupid to recognize that Obama’s “lipstick on a pig” comment was an obvious play on what Palin said in her convention speech and that it was used to describe failed Republican policies not Sarah Palin? No… they know exactly what Obama meant but, being who they are, they did what they always do: They seized the opportunity to distort what their opponent said and spread more lies.
And who’s saying who is “ready to smear?”
They can say that about Obama with a straight face?
