Cindy McCain: Obama’s Waged “Dirtiest Campaign” in U.S. History<\/a><\/p>\n

Cindy McCain said \u2026 that presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama has “waged the dirtiest campaign in American history,” and her husband Sen. John McCain will use tonight’s debate to correct the distortions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cindy McCain: Obama’s Waged “Dirtiest Campaign” in U.S. History<\/a><\/p>\n

One thing I loathe about Republican strategy is the tactic of accusing your opponent of doing what you are doing. It\u2019s bizarre.<\/p>\n

Worse are the burning-in-Hell Lee Atwater and his bastards, such as Karl Rove. For them, victory is all. And, if you can’t win on merit or by cheating, then destroy everything in your path. Sherman’s March meets Vietnam. As McCain, et al., become uglier and more vicious, recognize that they are no longer trying to win — they expect to lose. Instead, they are hardening the opposition to be sure that Obama can\u2019t get anything done without the Republicans, in spite of what may be an electoral landslide. In the process, McCain and his ilk are assuring that 20% of the nation believes Obama is incompetent, uncomprehending, unpatriotic, unworthy, socialist, terrorist, Muslim, evil-incarnate. (Every one of those words have been used by McCain’s supporters and his campaign.) How many loony gun nuts lurk in that crowd?<\/p>\n

peace,
mjh<\/p>\n

PS: That McCain dumped his sick wife for an ice queen like Cindy, who never wears the same thousands-of-dollars outfit twice, says volumes about his sense of loyalty and his judgment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
