Another day... another Republican attack ad

Today John McCain released another attack ad. This time showing Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. Is this what the people of this country want to hear right now??
Last week a lady in Massachussetts commited suicide and John McCain's advisor at that time said Americans are whiners complaining about imaginary economic problems.
I considered myself an independant but now I am firmly rejecting the usual Republican smear tactics to divert the nation's attention from the real issues. If we dont then we will never get out of this morass.
I will talk more about the politics and policies that led us here but for today I am pledging to donate $25 to Barack Obama's campaign for every new attack ad that McCain releases even if it bankrupts me. Please join me in this effort so we can send a message to all politicians that America will not be fooled by diversionary smear tactics again.
Wasn't it a true Republican who once said "You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time but not all the of the people all the time" - Abe Lincoln?
