Republican presidential candidate John McCain said a while back that U.S. troops should have a presence in Iraq until they finish their mission — even if it takes up to ” a hundred years or a thousand years or 10,000 years.”
The liberal online activist group MoveOn.org is now taking that figurative statement and applying it literally to attack McCain. “A hundred years in Iraq — and you thought no one could be worse than George Bush,” MoveOn says in a new advertisement.

With hundreds of delegates at stake in Super Tuesday voting tomorrow, John McCain and Mitt Romney are continuing their battle for the hearts of conservative voters over the airwaves.
McCain has been the one taking the most heat from establishment conservative commentators, but he is trying to score points by using Romney’s own words against him. In an ad titled “Trust,” McCain’s team highlights Romney emphasizing his independence, noting his vote in a Democratic primary and distancing himself from the time of Republican presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush.
Romney’s campaign, meanwhile, has an ad dubbed “Very Close” that compares McCain’s views on hot-button issues like immigration with those of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. Another Romney ad says McCain “Falls Short” in key policy areas.

They picked rival John McCain instead because he’s the more “liberal” candidate, Giuliani says in a new ad. It’s a clever, if somewhat desperate, sales pitch.
Republican Ron Paul also released a trio of ads, and McCain attacked rival Mitt Romney in an ad titled “A Tale Of Two Mitts.”
