Infomercial something to Sell But Not Pay For

There have been many suspicions about Joe the Plumber, and why he became the chosen one of the Republican Party.

There were rumors circulating that he may have ties to the Keating 5, which has yet to be proven. Well today Sarah confirmed that she does have ties to Joe the Plumber. Sarah called Joe the Plumber, "a fellow Alaskan".

"He’s a fellow Alaskan, and he’s a fellow military man who served our country proudly," Ms. Palin said. "I’d like you to meet him! Please welcome Joe the Plumber!"

I find it rather interesting that she questions if Sen.Obama going to change the Constitution to bring about change when is apart of an group that wants to see Alaska to seperate from our nation. And was it not Huckabee who said he would change the Constitution if needed ?

Mr. Wurzelbacher, dressed in a checked shirt and jeans, made no comments during the rally, and simply stood, with his hands clasped, at Ms. Palin’s side.

But Mr. Della Croce said he can easily envision Mr. Wurzelbacher giving inspirational speeches, appearing on television, profiting from licensed merchandise that uses his name or image and endorsing products.

McCain has called Sen. Obama Broadcast infomercial with something to sell when he’s selling Joe the Plumber. Would not have been surprised to see Joe the Plumber the next G.I Joe and Palin the next Barbee doll.

Add this to the fact that McCain’s about to do the same thing. 'Buyer Beware,' Says McCain Campaign.

But even before it aired, Obama's advertisement had been widely panned by the Republican ticket.

Today, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., criticized the infomercial to reporters calling it a "gauzy, feel-good commercial."


He then added that the commercial was "paid for with broken promises," referring to a pledge Obama made to accept public financing for his campaign.
In contrast remember McCain's commercial was not paid for at all.

The only Difference Sen. Obama paid for his time to inform the people. And McCain’s whole Campaign has been the way to solve the issues is from an “Psychological Impact”

CNN gives McCain a *free* hour to respond to Obama's paid ad

That's right: Not only is CNN giving McCain an hour for free tonight, on its most-watched program, but CNN refused to air Obama's half-hour ad even though Obama is paying for it

The issue here is CNN is a public news media whos job it it to put out the news with out bias.

This brings up other issues that should be explored as others promoted things as fact that where not true that lead us into a war. Should they not be held accountable as well.
Who's in bed with the media ?
