John McCain has seen the polling: the American people do not want four more years of the same old policies that have failed them for the last eight years. So in an attempt to pretend the McCain/Palin ticket doesn't represent the status quo, they have decided to just make things up and pretend you don't have lobbyists running your campaign.
In their latest ad, the Obama campaign calls them on it. Check it out:
A campaign ad...
It's titled 'the rubber stamp.' It begins with clips of McCain/Palin talking of the washington insiders and their corruption, do nothing, irresponsibility, etc...Then a voice over asks...''don't they remember whose BEEN in congress and in the majority party for most of the Bush administration? John McCain has approved the policies of GWB, even when it collided with his personal beliefs.'' Then the voiceover says...'want to torture?''...and a stamp with McCains' face and the word 'approved' bounce into frame and stamp the notice that looks like a legislative bill. Another asks an economic question, like ''want pork projects like a bridge to nowhere?''...here comes the bouncing rubber stamp again to approve it...you can do this on many issues to get the point across. Then announce that ''he's John McCain...and he's approved this economy.''
