Shameful Politics

I am truly dissapointed and saddened that John McCain, someone I once had great respect for and could even contemplate voting for some years ago, has resorted to truly base and undignified campaign tactics. I speak of course of the slanderous attack that Obama "pals around" with terrorists. Barack was eight years old when Ayers was founding the Weather Underground. The same New York Times article the McCain campaign cites to goes on to debunk this claim that there is any real association between Obama and Ayers -- as have several other investigations [except for those of the radical right of course]. This cheap shot is reminiscent of the McCarthy era witch hunts, where guilt by association was an acceptable standard for conviction. The John McCain of Hanoi and of his early senate career has abandoned us. In his place is a cynical, win at any cost politician whose tactics will cost him his dignity and the dignity of this country. Remember, Country First! Do not let him represent us to the world.

As for why he has done this; it is obvious that his campaign has become so desparate that they have no where else to go but into the mud. McCain seeks to change the topic away from issues and policies that of real meaning to most American, and direct it instead to innuendo, gossip and out right lies. Don't let him.

Last month, 159,000 Americans jobs were lost. It's no surprise that the top priority for a majority of voters is the economy. But the McCain campaign doesn't share those concerns, admitting yesterday that "There's no question we want to change the subject here," and that they're "looking forward to turning the page on the financial crisis." McCain has laid his cards on the table. And to everyone tired of the politics of past, this latest announcement is as disheartening as it is disturbing. It's up to you to keep this election on track. Watch our latest web video showing just how disastrous the Bush-McCain economic policies have been, then share it with your friends: John McCain can't connect with the anxiety Americans feel about everyday things like buying groceries or paying for health insurance. He's out of touch, and his own policies and track record have him cornered. As more and more people look to Barack Obama's steady leadership for the solutions we need to protect the middle class, McCain's attacks will become more toxic and destructive. John McCain is desperate, and he'll do anything to distract voters and smear Barack's character. But when McCain clouds the issues with gimmicks and despicable tactics, your voice will help steer this race back on track. You can spread the truth about Barack Obama's plans for the change we need.
