Cowardice

Does anyone find it ironic that at recent McCain/Palin hate fests rallies the audience in one breath calls Obama a "terrorist" and in the next exclaims "off with his head?" I bet Ron Perlman would see the irony. What about the "Obama is a bomb" guy? (disclaimer: the first time I heard this I thought he said, "Obama is the bomb."

The McCain campaign seems to not mind wrestling in hate. In fact, they seem to bask in it. They encourage it by claiming that Obama is "palling around with terrorists." They make no moves to stop or discourage open verbalizations of assasination attempts against a United States Senator. This is disgraceful. To imagine that we all have to pretend that this man is somehow honorable because he was in the military. Lee Harvey Oswald was a Marine but is no hero of mine either.

If McCain has even one ounce of manhood in him he would have asked Obama directly about his association with Ayers and his bomb making abilities but he knows full well the charges are bullshit and would not go over well when actual facts are introduced. Instead, he acts like the honorable McCain of years past in the debates (kinda) and sends his campaign to go 100% negative in all advertisements. That's right, he has NOT ONE ad telling us to vote for him but many, many millions of dollars worth of telling us not to vote Obama.

Cowardly. Our man of National Disgrace. He deserves, and looks like he will get, a good solid trouncing in the coming election. Hopefully, the Republican brand will go down with him. then they can elect new Repubs that have decency, honor, and will do what they believe is best for the country. Democrats had to do this themselves not too long ago and it worked out well.

Goshdarnit F,
But I'm so all-fired proud that some woman's son is in a foreign nation, occupying their sovereign soil to protect your rights to be so critical of one of the greatest statesmen alive.

Just bless your heart.

Or is southernese, which I might to want to have learnt real good "Shut up."

Seriously.
There is a common sense of wonderment among non-party believers that military service, even capture, does not imbue you with honour or integrity. Running a fair race, and losing with dignity do, but I think that we can see how that is going for Monsieur McCain.
