Okay while I was procrastinating and delighting in the burrito I bought at the soup kitchen across the street I figured I might as well mention the new McCain ad...
...the degree to which McCain supporters are willing to be deluded is remarkable.
I'm not sure what is worse: 1) that people are too apathetic to read a two page abstract of Obama's tax plan which explains how none of these smears are true; or, 2) that the McCain campaign is almost completely dependent upon ignorance, intolerance, and utter fallacy to make this election remotely competitive.
At some point Senator McCain, perhaps it's better to just wave the white flag than continue to eviscerate our democracy with fantastic lies and implicit prejudice.
This campaign is not about "John McCain" anymore; it's about Joe McCarthy.
Stop this insanity before your party, and our political system, is wholly devoid of whatever moral capital it has left. The ramifications of your xenophobic jingoism during the next 13 days will resonate long after your political relevance has expired and will impact election cycles for years to come.
Have the decency now to actually put "country first." Shut your mouth and lose with honor.
