Sexist much?
Calling your running mate a Mom I‘d Like to F**k doesn’t really demonstrate the family values and moral stance hyped by the Republican Party, so there must was scrambling at McShame headquarter after his campaign’s ownership of www.votefortheMILF.com was exposed.
Huge gaffe. And what a laugh!
Within hours the Whois Privacy information for Voteforthe MILF.com–showing it matched JohnMcCain.com’s Whois Privacy and that the URL for both sites were held by same registrar–were set to private.
So were the Whois Privacy listings for the .net and .org versions of www.votefortheMILF which had also originally redirected to the McCain campaign website.
And now in a feeble, pathetic, doddering attempt to cover their epic fail, www.voteforthemilf.com redirects the curious to a loooooong Wikipedia article on domain registration.
No way this was a troll. Otherwise voteforthe MILF would have clicked through something more clever, if slightly over-exposed.

A troll, or other third party, wouldn’t have redirected to Wikipedia. That achieves nothing that a troll would enjoy. You and the other ladies definitely got this one right from the very beginning.
Don’t forget, McCain’s Old Boy’s Network/Staff Meeting, probably thought this was a good idea in the beginning.
Rather like the idea that Hillary voters would move to McCain because of Palin and ignore the actual, you know, policies being proposed.
A lot of little head thinking going on at the McCain campaign.
They really must believe no one is paying attention.
Shoulda known a Rickroll was coming with that last link.
Have you seen McCain get BarackRolled yet?
And this is the nearly million dollar for web services from the other Rick Davis company….. way to go…..
dang the posts are comming fast and furious
omg!
it’s teh stoopid!
not just the filthy trash-mouth politix.
teh bone-headed idiots.
if it weren’t for stoopid, they’d have nothing at all.
gloom, dispair, and agony unbeat….. /s
after http://www.votefortheMILF.com was exposed as being owned by the Republican presidential nom’s campaign.
Whuh?

Republican party was secretly opposing bailout bill BEFORE Pelosi spoke

We now find out that the Republican party cut ads, and sent them to TV stations around the country, opposing the bailout bill even BEFORE Pelosi spoke before the vote yesterday. The Republican National Committee, the official “party,” was planning on the bill passing, and then was going to attack Democrats who voted FOR the bill. Talk about calloused. So in fact, the Republican party was playing games, playing politics, with our economy. Did the RNC tell individual members of Congress that they were going to be running ads attacking anyone who voted for the bill? Is this why Republican members voted against the bill 2 to 1 (while Dems voted for the bill almost 2 to 1), sending Wall Street into a nose dive? And what about John McCain? What does it say about him when his own party is secretly undercutting the proposal that he claimed to “save the day” on?
out with teh trash…
This is why boehner was so pissed. The dems were supposed to be bipartisan and take the hit for bush/gop and they didn’t this time. completely blew all their plans.
Country first!
What is really sexist is that Palin gets into trouble for doing the same thing McCain does: Steal Obama talking points.
I think the Dems came out of this whole thing looking much better than the Rs. They have the cover of “trying” to help but the Rs stopped them. Nice.
rickrolled!
linky?
hahahahahahaha..gasp..hahahahahaha…snort…hahahahahahaha!!!
It really was a bailout plan, the plan being to bailout Republican election chances in November.
I said it before and I’ll say it again, I wouldn’t *f* thank skank with your *d*
out

Why Is It So Difficult to Vote?
Confession: (whisper) I had to ask my 17 yr old son-”What’s a MILF?” He wouldn’t tell me! He made me look it up on the google. Just, EWWW.
LOL
It was discretely defined in the post.
beware the google
I wouldn’t discretely. . . .you know!
AUGH! RICKROLLED AGAIN!!!!111ONE!
Yeah. Now the good news for my day: I’m off to my root canal appointment. Seriously. More EWWW. I’d rather stay here and discuss MILFs with y’all.
anyone go to the fedupusa.org site yet? Verrrry interesting. this guy might turn into the patrick henry of the bailout revolt. his vids are a little long, but the whole site is worth checking out. was mentioned on msnbc just a few minutes ago.
New Christy across the hall!
John McCain’s Pre-9/11 Mindset: “[I]s this guy, Laden, really the bad guy that’s depicted?”
I admit to calling Palin “Gov. GILF,” but she’s the opposition. And I do that to point out the calculation and flawed logic McCain’s campaign showed in nominating her–Hillary is woman, Sarah is a woman; therefore all the Hillary supporters will vote for her. So utterly insulting.
To call your running mate a sex object is just nasty.
In case you might be curious, dontvoteforthemilf.com directs you to the Obama/Biden website!
LOLZ!
This is definitely a Republican-run domain name. When you go to voteforthemilf.com, the server issues a redirect. The ISP operating that server is http://smartechcorp.net/ which identifies itself as the “Official Hosting Provider for the 2008 Republican National Convention”. If you would like to see this yourself, go to http://www.dnstools.com/, enter “Whois (IP owner)”, check the box for “Whois (IP owner)”, and click “Go”.
Dammit!!!!!
I have been rick Rolled again……yikes
exactly.
I read through this a few times http://www.n00tz.net/2008/09/v…..ple-prank/
and while the author explains how it was DONE, he never says McCain’s campaign, for whom he works, was NOT responsible for the site
Or at least that’s how I read it, amidst all the tech stuff, which I’m sure makes much more sense to some of you than to me.
And he admits to doing the redirect himself.
The NYTimes discovered a bunch of site names owned by the RNC
Make of it as you will
