Token Offense Against The Storm

John Sith McCain has allegedly resumed his presidential campaign.  These are two of the ads he has decided to run.

First, an attempt to capitalize on Barry O's usual Iraq tap-dance he trotted out again at Friday's debate:

Eh.  Senator Hussein tried to spin it that he wasn't voting against funding the troops, but rather was trying to force a withdrawal timetable on the Bush Administration.  Which, of course, would have led to a pell-mell retreat in order to meet it that would have, as Senator Rogaine pointed out in days gone by, endangered the lives of thousands of American troops.  As well as handed a staggering victory to al Qaeda and Iran and ensured that Afghanistan became precisely the backwater in the War on Terror that Barry claims it is now.

But let's face it, Iraq is no longer a front-burner issue.  Nor is the Surge or whether or not we should have invaded in the first place.  We've won despite Barack Obama's best efforts, and even he acknowledges it, even as he continues to say he would not have employed the strategy that brought that victory about.  A commentary on his utter lack of judgment to go neatly with his utter lack of experience, but a factor, I think, that has long since been built into his "market price," and thus unlikely to move the proverbial needle one way or the other.

Next, a sop to "stem cell research":

Sure, "Barack Obama and his congressional [and media] allies" have smeared McCain-Palin as being "against stem cell research".  Heck, Republicans all across the country are having that false charge hurled at them.  This McCain ad calls a lie a lie, but misses the bigger counterargument.

Have you noticed how the adjective "embryonic" has mysteriously disappeared from the rest of the phrase "stem cell research"?  Not unlike the term "pro-abortion" gave way to the sanitized and friendlier-sounding "pro-choice".  As the child-killer lobby and industry has grown more and more extreme in the defence of its satanic creed, and abortion on demand has grown correspondingly less and less popular, such PR semantic PR gimmicks became more and more important.  Too call an "abortion rights supporter" pro-abortion was wholly descriptive; but who could be against "choice"?  Who would want to be labeled as "anti-choice"?  Never mind that the choice is for in utero genocide; THAT reality is kept safely off screen and out of the debate.  In the same way, by subtely withdrawing the distinction between embryonic and adult stem cells, social libs seek to conceal the weakness of their position that further exposes their infanticidal urges and denigrate their foes as flat-earther neanderthals at the same time.

It is undeniable fact that human embryonic stem cells are medically worthless, whereas ADULT stem cells have many medical applications.  NOBODY is against the latter, nor for funding for it, and the Bush Administration - which was the first to fund adult stem cell research in the first place - has not BANNED embryonic stem cell research anywhere.  By failing to restore that distinction, this McCain ad doesn't explain HOW the Rogaine Messiah accusations are false, and the true evil motivations that lay behind them.

Lastly, here is a CNN story that is far more useful than either of the above spots, and which is ready made ammo for Sarah Palin (remember her?) in Thursday's veep debate:

A "bridge to TWO nowheres" and another fifty million smackers in pork in the continuing resolution the Dems have passed in lieu of ACTUALLY PASSING AND FUNDING A BUDGET for the fiscal year that begins in TWO DAYS.  Man, but the Enemy Media must be confident of Obama's invincibility if they're allowing such stories to run over their airwaves more than a month before Election Day.

Here's hoping - and yes, praying - that Barracuda makes good use of every last bid of ordnance at her disposal, and that Slow Joe provides her with more on the fly.  As thoroughly as her running mate has botched their November chances, she may very well be the GOP's - and America's - last glimmer of hope.
