Ad Campaign Just Launched: Obama Worse Than a Flip-Flopper [McCain Ad]
standardnewswire ^ | 7/23/08 | John McCain

Posted on 07/23/2008 12:32:37 PM PDT by flyfree

MEDIA ADVISORY, July 23 /Standard Newswire/ -- Let Freedom Ring just launched its first television ad campaign of this election cycle titled, "Both Ways Barack", pointing out that presidential candidate Barack Obama has conflicting positions on many issues and "holds two positions at the same time" making him "worse than a flip-flopper." The ad may be viewed in its entirety at http://www.BothWaysBarack.com.

The television campaign will be featured on CNN, MSNBC and FOX, awaiting clearance from other national broadcast and cable networks. Several hundred thousand dollars will be spent on the campaign in its opening phase. The national radio campaign also begins this week.

Colin Hanna, president of the group, said "We have a multi-pronged strategy. This will not be the only thing you hear from Let Freedom Ring."

Hanna said the group will continue its efforts whether or not they are welcomed by the McCain campaign. "Senator McCain's personal desires should not be a part of our consideration. In fact, to do so, would approach the legally impermissible question of coordination."

The transcript reads, "People are saying that Senator Obama's recent changes of position have made him a flip-flopper. He's not! Flip-floppers only hold one position at a time. Senator Obama is different: he holds two positions at the same time. Both ways on banning handguns. Both ways on public campaign financing. And now, both ways on withdrawing from Iraq. He's 'Both Ways Barack.' Worse than a flip-flopper! Let Freedom Ring is responsible for the content of this advertising."

But the key is to slowly increase pressure going into the convention. The resulting doubt & angst will result in emotional fission over whether to go with The Ears or The ThunderThighs.

The site’s down. Which means either (a) they received a hell of a lot of hits, (b) it’s been attacked, (c) somebody messes up, or (d) they went cheap and paid for a hosting plan with a ridiculously low limit on bandwidth.

Sen McCain would be wise to avoid a VP who is a "Flip-Flopper [after McCain Ad]"
since that would make this important point moot.
