McCain Campaign Uses Spider/Diff Against Obama

Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday July 16, 2008 @01:35AM from the now-we're-getting-somewhere dept.

Vote McCain in 2008! writes "McCain's campaign is doing everything it can to erase Obama's online advantage, this time they ambushed Obama by detecting edits to his website when he updated some of his policy positions. This isn't the first time the Republicans have shown up the Democrats with their web savvy — you may remember the previous reports about the Republican Web 2.0 Consultants and their online campaigning game. This just proves that old Republicans can learn new tricks." Assuming the spider adheres to robots.txt, this is clever and well done.

Vast increase in federal spending!
That's bad enough but you forgot "while reducing Federal income by slashing taxes" at the end.

They morphed into a me-too-but-more party.
Indeed. To quote a friend of mine: I'd rather be a tax and spend Liberal than a borrow and spend Republican. At least the Dems are pretending to have a way to pay for their proposals -- the Republicans just want to put it on the national credit card.

We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
