Wil

• another day, another attack ad from mccain

  Posted: 1 year, 4 months ago in response to 13 Things To Know About The 3rd Straight Mac Attack Ad

  The latest desperate attack ad from the McCain campaign (the third in a row) is filled with just as many lies and distortions as the last two. There are two very important rebuttals to this particular one, however, that I hope our talking head class of pundits will share with voters. From the article: "5. Obama is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee on Europe. Afghanistan, as it happens, is not in Europe. Afghanistan ...
