McCain Campaign Resorts to Disingenuous Ad

I've noticed a new political ad, taking cheap shots promising excessive Democrat deficit spending if Obama/Biden get elected.

Problem is, the political ad could easily apply to the last eight years of the Bush administration and the republican controlled Congress (for six of the last eight years).

If McCain campaign wants to run him as a Maverick, then fine, do so. If a McCain administration intends to balance the budget deficit by 2013, then state it and articulate that vision and action plan in a positive and exciting manner (build upon the excitement of the convention and accelerate the momentum.)

Don't resort to the same old tired disingenuous line that the Dems are tax and spenders when the Republicans have lost their moral authority on this issue, long ago.

This ad and others like them are a real turn-off, because they don't ring true and I can't see how they play well on either side of the political spectrum.

I would support such an ad, however, if it were targeted against the Republican establishment (or the current Congress), though.

Pull it.
