I'm John McCain and I Approve This Message...

The girlfriend had the local evening news on tonight, and John McCain's idiotic (and arguably racist, as it was obviously photoshopped to make Obama look blacker than he is) ad came on. Perhaps it was a quirk of national ad buys, but this one appeared in the bluest of blue states, during a San Francisco-based newscast. Talk about a waste of dollars...

From Matt T today:

A portion of the 2008 Republican Platform:

We do not support government bailouts of private institutions. Government interference in the markets exacerbates problems in the marketplace and causes the free market to take longer to correct itself."

So as Republicans in the Administration and Republicans in Congress want to hand $700 billion of taxpayer money over to Wall Street executives, without limits on executive pay and without any oversight or relief for homeowners, we'd do well to remember their party's own words.
