John McCain is out of Touch with Reality

So I had seen this on TV last night and actually rewound it to laugh a second time. It's a video of John McCain's speech in New Orleans (pronounced naorlens). In the video John says that Barack is going say that John McCain is running for George Bush's third Bush.

What I found so interesting comes at about 55 seconds into that video. He says:

"Why does he repeat this idea over and over again? Because he know it's very
difficult to get Americans to believe something they know is false. So he tries
to drum it into your minds by constantly repeating it..."

So I may be remembering thing incorrectly, but I believe it was the Bush administration which constantly lied to Americans to get them to believe a lie:

• Iraq trying to get uranium
• No one in the administration was involved with the Valieie Plame leak
• Saddam Hussein was involved in 9/11

What's worse is that many Americans believe this stuff. Americans believe even the silliest things (that he's a Muslim) and worse yet, Americans don't remember when these stupid things are debunked.

So I realize that when you are trying to court the exact people who would believe lies because the more they are spoken the truer they seem you can't exactly say "Barack Obama keeps repeating these things because he's seen how well it worked for the Republicans over the last eight years."

One thing that the last eight years of Republicans has taught us is that the American people do very easily believe incorrect things after they are repeated over and over. Maybe the Democrats have realized that even dishonest strategies work sometimes...

Of course while McCain is disparaging this behavior in Barack, I'm sure it's just a matter of time until his campaign does the exact same thing, after all, what's good for the first two terms will surely work for the third.
