A campaign ad for Sen. John McCain's 2010 reelection bid was blocked on YouTube earlier this week, per a request from the Arizona Republican's 2016 reelection campaign.
The ad was uploaded by the campaign of McCain challenger Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D-Ariz.), and it was unmodified except for the addition of Spanish subtitles. The spot shows McCain walking by the border fence and telling Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu to "complete the danged fence."
"John McCain is trying to hide his comments and agenda from the Latino community and Arizonans now that he admits he's caught in the 'race of his life,' " said D.B. Mitchell, a Kirkpatrick campaign spokesman.
Now the McCain campaign claims that the reason they blocked the ad was due to a copyright violation.
But it that were true then why is the ad back up now?
You know if I were a suspicious feller I might just think that ole John McCain is a little embarrassed by the anti-immigrant fervor he embraced in 2010, and worried that it might do his campaign serious damage in a more enlightened 2016 campaign season.
You know, if I was a suspicious feller.
Don't see why he's embarrassed. That ad might get him on Trump's VP shortlist.
ReplyDeleteYou're terrible and pretending to be a Lower 48 redneck, Gryphen!
ReplyDeleteOkay first off that was my Australian impersonation, and secondly I clearly get confused by campaign ads.
DeleteWhen John McCain admits he rode on his daddy's and grandpa's coat tails, passed next to last in his class, sang like a bird to the Vietnamese, his role in Keating 5, taking pics with soon-to-be ISIS members that he armed, abandoned first wife on her death bed, called his new wife a cunt, and made a horrible mistake in choosing $arah, ad nauseum, then maybe I'll listen to him. Not happening soon!
ReplyDelete$arah sure does know how to pick "loosers," now doesn't she?
Now let's be fair: Johnny Mac did not graduate "next to last." He ranked 845 out of 849.
DeleteAbout everything else you said? Absolutely!
I stand corrected,but it might as well have been. Thank you, MTB, for the clarification!
DeleteIf I were John McCain, I'd be horribly embarrassed that I graduated so very low in my class at the academy!
DeleteThe guy is a failure and I have no idea what has kept him afloat! I cannot imagine he'll be reelected in his current bid in AZ. He's a fucking idiot and supports Sarah Palin! That should do him in right there!
Anon at 3:50 pm. You might also want to include all those plane crashes that cost taxpayers millions.

McCain should be embarrassed by those comments noted! They should also include the fact he selected the idiot Sarah Palin as his running mate in 2008.
ReplyDeleteI so hope he falls short in his reelection bid in AZ! It's way past time the old fart was put out to pasture!
McCain's anti-immigrant comments might help keeping us out of further quagmires in the Middle East. Cool.
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding?
