Its McCain that has been in Washington for the last couple of eons and hasn't done anything to get America off oil or give people reasonable transportation choices. Just pathetic.

On a factual basis, that was probably one of the most worthless political ads that I've ever seen.  Shame on Mr. McCain.

As McCain continues to remind us, Obama is relatively new to Washington, which makes it even more ridiculous for him to place the blame for the rise in gas prices on Obama's shoulders!

And already McCain is scraping the bottom of the barrel. But this ad seems so over the top you have to ask where is the "truth-in-advertising" regulation (FCC?)?

What if Obama launches an ad with dead and dying troops and Iraqi's with a voice-over chanting John McCain? Would that be kosher too?

Well, at least the Repubs have stopped blaming all of this country's problems on Bill Clinton.  I guess that got a little bit old, for even them, after 8 years of mind-numbing repetition.

Man, I can hardly wait to find what politician should be blamed for the Colorado Rockies losing the World Series last year.  It's surely a Democrat, though.  I count on Faux News to let me know.

I just thought my oversized SUV got bad gas mileage and I was to blame for buying it, but the truth is it is not my fault at all! McCain has shown me the Light! Obama is to blame! Obama has been siphoning gas from my tank! How are we going to afford another SUV!!!

Just goes to show you the Republicans are so desperate they are using the gas crisis !!REPUBLICANS CREATED!! to smear a very reputable, honest candidate who will try to positively change the US' impact on the world environment, not make it worse. What can I say, I'm not surprised.
