GOP’s $120,000,000 Sow’s Ear
April 17, 2006
Looks like the Bushies are up to their old tricks. They’re spending a small fortune on an ambitious campaign to spin Straw Man John McCain into their very own golden boy:
“Governor Dean wrote to you this week about the $120 million fund to remake John McCain and destroy Senator Clinton and Senator Obama.
As part of their plan, John McCain will start a “Compassion Tour” next week designed to position him as a different kind of Republican.
He’ll be going into inner city neighborhoods and economically depressed towns, trying to reach out to voters his party traditionally ignores.
Sound familiar? Know any other Republican politicians who have claimed to be a “compassionate conservative”?
We’ve seen this campaign before: a Republican candidate who holds a dangerous and wrong opinion on Iraq, supported by piles of lobbyist and special interest money, who works non-stop to look folksy and compassionate; a Republican candidate who knows nothing about jobs and the economy, fixing health care or a rational foreign policy.
We’ve also seen how it turns out. They’re able to use their money to get the White House — and Americans are left with four years of a dangerous Republican president.”
Will America’s couch potatoes finally put down their corn dogs long enough to see how they’ve been manipulated? Or will we soon be seeing John McCain on “America’s Most Extreme Makeovers”?
