VoteForTheMILF.com

September 29, 2008

Intentionally or not, the McCain camp owns the domain name VoteForTheMILF.com. I dunno if that’s funny or sexist… or both. Probably both.

The site will redirect you specifically to a video intro by Gov. Sarah Palin at JohnMcCain.com if you are hitting it for the first time. Note that the redirect sends you first to JohnMcCain.com and THEN to Palin.htm (Palin’s Video Intro) if you’re visiting for the first time, or if your cookies are cleared, or if you’re not accepting cookies.

VoteForTheMILF McCain Campaign Domain

VoteForTheMILF McCain Campaign Domain

Since the story broke the domain WhoIs information has gone private, but I think the cat is out of the bag. There’s a full discussion along with breaking updates over at Govgap.com’s John McCain Owns VoteForTheMILF.com? article.

McCain = Bush - tax breaks for the rich

August 17, 2008

More proof McCain is Bush 2.0 - caters to rich, snuffs the middle class.

McCain has cultivated support from mega-corporations by promising to dole out huge tax breaks in return should he win the presidency. As the Wonk Room reported in June, McCain’s plan to cut the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 25 percent would yield $45 billion in tax breaks for the 200 largest corporations:

MCain Corporate Tax Cuts
McCain would deliver about $4 billion in tax cuts to the five largest oil companies. He would also hand over $2 billion to the top 10 health insurance companies. Unlike the highest-rung of the corporate ladder, much of the rest of Wall Street refuses to be bought off. Those employees are giving more to Obama than to McCain.

While McCain caters to the rich, Barack Obama’s tax plan “offers three times the break for middle class families” than the proposals of John McCain. To clarify the contrast in the two candidates’ plans, consider this fact: John and Cindy McCain would reap over $300,000 from McCain’s own tax plan. By contrast, both the Obamas and McCains would receive a substantial, albeit much smaller, savings under Obama’s plan (see a comparison here).

Obama opens Fight the Smears site

June 13, 2008

The news channels (Fox, CNN, MSNBC) have all been buzzing about the impending smear campaigns that are about to launch now that Clinton is out of the race. Looks like Obama has launched a campaign to combat the rumors floating around already. He’s gone as far as even posting his birth certificate.

You can visit Fight the Smears and it’s already loaded with some of the hot topics… taking on issues about him being a Muslim, that he won’t produce a birth certificate, and that he won’t say the Pledge of Allegiance. Won’t if McCain will be launching one soon as well?
