McCain, in desperation mode, gets dirty!



John McCain has pulled out of Michigan. He will concentrate on only the states that he feels he has a chance of winning. His numbers are down all of a sudden and he has to pull out all the stops if he is to win the presidency.

Why are his numbers down? I think the recent economic debacle has something to do with his numbers taking a dive. Republicans have always been on the side of business and voters want the party that has always stood for the middle class; the working class that is getting its economic ass kicked.

The fact that the economy tanked on Bush’s watch also is a factor. McCain voted with Bush nearly 90% of the time and voters don’t want another Bush in the White House.

So what does John McCain do? He starts hitting below the belt like the Republicans did to Kerry. He must feel this is the only way to win; after all it worked for Bush.

Palin is now dredging up Obama’s relations with his crazy pastor and saying that he pals around with a terrorist. I have covered this nonsense in past blogs when I discovered members of my own family were buying into those lies.

Palin and McCain are now attacking Obama’s character as unsuitable for the presidency and even possibly dangerous to the nation if he should be elected. They have given up on issues; its all about character and maybe even the color of his skin.

Obama is pointing out that they are trying to divert attention from the state of the economy by attacking the man and his family. Yes it is a desperation tactic but it has worked in the past so why not go for it.

As much as I admired McCain’s integrity and honesty in 2000 when he was running against Bush, I now think he has become Bush / Rove and therefore has lost all credibility with me and I hope other voters as well.

It is a shame to see a man so enamored with the office of the presidency that he would sell his own soul to the devil for it.

  1. You are wrong. Mr. Obama has worked and spent time with the terrorist that helped establish the Weathrmen. Mr. Obama explains that he had no knowledge of his friends activities........
