So I know everybody complains about the media having a liberal bias. I agree, personally. But when the McCain campaign has a liberal bias too, well, something's wrong.

Read the 'Update' down at the bottom of the page.

McCain just ran an ad condemning Obama for not visiting the troops, and says that Obama was goofing off and going to the gym instead of visiting our soldiers, while Obama is saying that he didn't want to politicize the visit. Well and good, that's a perfectly reasonable debate. But McCain's add has footage of Obama at his gym in it to prove their point. And you know what that footage was? Obama playing basketball with soldiers in Kuwait.

Yeah... smooth. If I were McCain I'd get some new staff members. That's almost as bad as Hillary's sniper incident.

I heard Obama would go only if cameras were allowed to follow him in, Pentagon said no.. so he didn't go. Anyway, McCain's campaign has always had a flare for the liberal arts :P

Yeah, I understand that the point McCain's trying to make is perfectly reasonable. I disagree, but still. It's valid. But that's a pretty big fuckup.

Official policy is that US military personnel and facilities cannot become caught up in politican, partisan campaigns. The Pentagon advised against the visit Obama said he wouldn't go upon the request.

Oh dear petty politics once again fail the day. Love that shipment of fail picture, a stroke of brilliance.

Well all I can say is at least it makes more sense (though it is still a load of BS) than the "OMG Obama caused $4 per gallon gas" commercial McCain is running.

Ah McBush. Hey if you liked Bush's 8 years of terror rule, you'll love McCain.

I don't like either one (I will state for the record), however, Obama is the lesser of the 2 evils. He picks Hillary as VP, he's a shoe-in.
