GOP Again Proves Why It Cannot Be the Party of Change

Here's one of those ads that says more about the person who sponsored the ad than it does the person the ad attacks. The ad is a tiresome rehash of bad Internet rumors spread from ignorant person to ignorant person, but apparently the GOP is fine with collecting votes by spreading disinformation, encouraging ignorance, exploiting fear, and using smear techniques.

I know this is not an official GOP ad, but we've seen this dirty swift-boating tactic before from the Republicans. A GOP-affiliated group launches a dirty campaign, and the candidate and party act as if they have no ability to control, influence, or react to it. This ad comes from Floyd Brown - of Willie Horton fame - through his National Campaign Fund PAC.

Come on McCain and GOP leadership! Prove to us you support a clean campaign. Show backbone, integrity, and a commitment to honesty. Your silence will only prove why the Democrats and Obama are the only answer to the need for change in Washingon, D.C.
