Obama airs ad on guns, economy
By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com ReporterBarack Obama's campaign is airing a new radio ad in New Hampshire that focuses on Obama's stance on the Second Amendment and the economy.
The ad features Ray Schoenke, a former Washington Redskins player and current president of the American Hunters and Shooters Association.
"It's important to me that our next president protects our Second Amendment rights to own guns and defend ourselves," Schoenke says in the ad. "Barack Obama and John McCain will both make sure we can keep our guns. But what about keeping our jobs? Barack's got a real plan that invests in creating jobs here at home and cuts taxes a thousand bucks for working families."
Schoenke then criticized McCain's economic policies.
"It's the same old Bush playbook," he says. "When the coach loses eight years in a row, you don't bring him back for a ninth season! We just can't afford more of the same."

Quote of the Day
"Last June we were promised by the Republican National Committee and McCain HQ's that we would be consulted on campaign strategy in New Hampshire. I guess that promise was as empty as the head of the person responsible for creating political strategy in New Hampshire. What can we expect next -- phone jamming calls on election day? Thanks guys."

Mc Cain's Lies

No one's buying it, Barry O.
Barack Obama is the most anti-gun rights candidate ever to seek the presidency. In his mind, there is simply no such thing as an "unreasonable restriction" on the people's right to keep and bear arms.
For him to suggest otherwise is demonstrably false. End of story.
If he supports the Second Amendment and believes in the right to keep and bear arms, as he's repeatedly claimed on the campaign trail, then he wouldn't mind sharing with us all the effort he's taken to restore those rights to his neighbors in Chicago who are victims of some of the most unconstitutional gun laws in the country.
Name ONE thing you've done to defend the gun rights of your fellow Chicagoans, Mr. Obama.
ONE thing.
Just one.
Obama's own website says he
Obama's own website says he wants to create a permenant ban on the most popular rifle in America, the AR-15.
ANTI_GUN OBOMINATION
Stop this outright liar Obama. Hes is the most left wing liberal in the Senate and can be identified as a Marxist. He will ban anything that looks like a gun including BB Guns and air guns.
It's an Obama-nation I tell you
If Obama is using a fake gun-rights organization to convince people he is for gun-rights when in fact he is not, it's obvious he has no problem lying for the purpose of deceiving the American public. If he is willing to do so about this one issue then he would feel free to do so about every issue. Don't be deceived!!! Do not vote for this man!!
this is not a lie
I have been hearing it on the radio all week long , it is why I looked this page up , He is going to be in Elko Nv sept 17 and this add is playing every fricken radio spot it can get.
These two Obamazealots
These two Obamazealots linked to a Democrat lie fest itself!
Checking the link shows that they have more than quadruple counted every claimed "lie" blamed on McCain. These blind followers get their "truth" from wikipedia? They distort reality on Palin to create a slander in hopes of ignoring the reality that their own candidate is a total fraud. He's linked to graft, indicted fundraisers (plural), lying about shrinking government but planning to create 500,000 jobs. Now he claims to be pro-gun? B.S. His record shows he's with Pelosi, who wants to take every gun.
The Dems controlled Congress and the Senate for years, but they blame their own failures only on Bush. They use a blatantly deceptive non-profit to lie for their candidate, and take no responsibility.
At their own meetings, they admitted to each other that they had to lie to us to implement their plans. They're funded by big media who help them lie by hiding the truth at every chance.
How can you believe anything the Democrats say???
Harry Truman = Barack Obama + Brains, Guts, & American Pride
Where has the Demoncrat party gone?
Harry Truman = Barack Obama + Brains, Guts, & American Pride
Equation almost correct
osama obama = Jimmy Carter-(military service + peanuts)+ supprt from islamofacists and that, folks, is a recipe for disaster.
