The hug: McCain's embrace of Bush on billboard in St. Paul

 

When delegates to the Republican National Convention gather in St. Paul, Minn., next week to nominate John McCain for president -- God and Gustav willing -- Democrats will be there to welcome them.

In the form of billboards. And bus stop signs. At the Excel Center. And all over town.

"We're going to spend every day looking for every opportunity to remind voters in the Twin Cities and across the country that a vote for John McCain is a vote for George W. Bush and his failed policies," explained Democratic National Committee spokesman Damien LaVera.

Just for the record, Republicans set up shop in Denver during the just-completed Democratic National Convention, creating a website called NotReady08 that parroted the Barack Obama '08 signs.

Back in the day, political parties used to give each other a respite, letting the other side have its moment in the sun. No more. These days, when it comes to presidential politics, there's always a cloud nearby.

Wow.
That says a lot.

BTW
Governor Palin was for the "Bridge to Nowhere' before she was against it:
Although in her acceptance she said she said “No Thanks” to congress.
Congress had already said “No” to Alaska.

McCaine with Bush. Obama with criminal muslims and American haters. Obama has pretended to be a christain going to church for 20 years without hearing a single word. He admited that he sat there for 20 years and did not hear anything we heard from his paster. His spiritual adviser is an american hater as well as his wife Michelle. What kind of faith is that? With all his muslim criminal friends going in and out of the Oval Office and the voters wellingness to support muslim power in this country, I will not be shocked that if he is elected, united states will be another muslim controled country. Take a look at Malaysia where he was raised.
