Didn’t Rove say “Too far?”
Filed Under Political Shitheadery | 1 Comment
Carl Rove made it clear that even he thought McCain went too far in an ad campaign that blatantly misrepresented what Obama said and did. Accusing him of wanting to teach sex-ed to kindergartners.
But the latest ad, shown below, is over the top.
Here’s where they got this quote:
[We need] a plan that would extend expiring unemployment benefits. For those Americans who have lost their jobs and have been working hard to find a new one, but haven’t found one yet. That’s part of the change we need. And then after this immediate problem, we’ve got the long-term fundamentals that will really make sure this economy grows. Change means tax code that doesn’t reward the lobbyists who wrote it, but the American workers and small businesses that deserve it. As President I am going to eliminate capital gains taxes for small businesses and start-ups.
How is this not shameful and disgusting? Jesus H Christ! What have we become? Where are the morals and scruples that made this country honorable and great? I’m affected physically by this shit. Damnit!!!!
How does a guy who talks about honor, serving his country, and serving the people of this country put his name and approval on something like this?
Don’t people get to a point where lieing, cheating, and screwing other people becomes physically painful?

From what I’ve been able to understand, banks and mortgages companies are holding loans that are nearing foreclosure, which will supposedly lead to the demise of the American economy. In his speech last week, Bush made it pretty clear that this mess was a direct result of being buying homes they couldn’t afford
I understand that people were approved loans they couldn’t afford, loans were given to people without verifying income, and that sub-prime lending was a risky proposition. Those poor bastards probably deserve to loose their homes.
I also understand that there were people who wanted to buy a home, proved they could buy a home, showed income statements, and maybe didn’t have the best credit score and bought with the hope of refinancing. These people are facing a substantial increase on their current mortgage payments and at the highest risk of foreclosure.
Why aren’t banks and lenders being proactive and renegotiating those loans? Wouldn’t it work to their advantage to offer an interest rate that a homeowner can afford over the next 30 years, rather than risk not getting payed at all?
The party’s over damnit, it’s time to do the right thing.

Of course it’s on FOX News. Why would McCain take the risk of speaking to real journalists?
Wow, with Sarah Palin’s upcoming flogging, erm, debate? He really craps his drawers when it comes to debates.
Here’s a little Letterman just for fun.
