So what... you wanna fight about it ?!?!?

With so much drama in the W.D.C. its kinda hard being a Candidate today.

NEGATIVE AD



In the McCain internet ad Titled "ACORN,"
referring to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, McCain attacks "Barack I say my name really fast Obama" for his involvement with this "fraudulent" organization.

One particular statement made at a debate reads

[Acorn is] "now on the verge of maybe perpetrating one of the greatest frauds in voter history in this country, maybe destroying the fabric of democracy."

"massive voter fraud," was what the McCain camp accused ACORN of doing in this ad... but it never happened.

The statement was made in attempts to make the case that Acorn was committing poll fraud, however this was not at all the case.

According to factcheck.org the statement made was false.

Acorn was indeed in trouble for voter registration fraud, however voter fraud is a much worse offense.

ACORN hires $8 and hour canvassers to go door-to-door in order to register voters for the then upcoming election. And these employees often participated in entering phony registrations into their logs in attempt at not working.
Thus, ACORN never sent people to the polls using bogus identities or to vote in any other fraudulent manner. Ergo there was no voter or poll fraud taking place due to ACORN.

All this in an attempt to tie Barack Obama to a fraudulent organization that was not all that evil after all.

POSITIVE AD


OBAMA ad called "turn it off"
  • “The American dream started in a classroom”… Obama stresses that he is focused on education for our country.
  • This can not be disproved and Factcheck need not be done to find out that education was important to Obama’s success, and that it is important to today’s children.
  • Obama is known to be interested in education and plans to support education improvements in the US.
  • Obama himself attended public schools, and wants to put in place tougher graduation requirements for public schools.
