New Anti-Obama 527 Plans Attack On "Hope" Theme

From HuffPost

Republican political strategists in California are setting up a new political organization which hopes to run television commercials undermining the central themes of Senator Obama’s presidential campaign while underscoring the strengths of his Republican opponent, Senator McCain of Arizona….
The organization’s slick Web site includes a 30-second video (click on “MEDIA”) that shows images of war and misery around the world as an announcer gravely warns of the dangers of putting America in untested hands.

Meanwhile, the Democrats sit back and do nothing as McCain/Palin continue to rise in the polls. Where are Obama’s tough ads about Palin’s lack of experience, her desire to ban books and teach Creationism in public schools, the Troopergate scandal, and her opposition to abortion even when a woman has been raped? Her views are way to the right of most Americans and she is inarguably a lightweight when it comes to foreign policy. Other than Canada, Palin has only been out of the country once in her entire life, for Chrissake.
And where are the ads showing McCain’s rejection of the GI Bill and his endorsement of torture? And let’s not forget the “pork-cutting maverick’s” role as a member of the Keating Five. He supported the invasion of Iraq before we’d even completed the job in Afghanistan, a country that is much more of a threat to our national security than Saddam Hussein ever was.
And why haven’t we seen an ad about how Palin’s lack of experience puts the country at risk? Do they even have phones in her bumfuck little town, should she get a 3am call? McCain 1.0 wouldn’t have nominated Palin as his running mate. He would have labeled her (along with the nutjobs like James Dobson he’s been courting) as an agent of intolerance.
The GOP swift-boated John Kerry and he did nothing. It would be nice if the Democrats would finally grow a pair and come out fighting before Obama’s campaign of hope becomes hopeless.
