“Sen. Barack Obama’s spokesman on Saturday accused Sen. John McCain of “cynically running the sleaziest and least honorable campaign in modern presidential campaign history.””

Well, since the Democrap insisted on setting its self up, here’s the punch line:

“When running against the sleaziest and least honorable candidate, one must describe one’s oponnent.

That the descriptions of Obama show him to be sleazy and without honor is the fault of Obama,

Moral: If you don’t want to be described as without honor, act honorably.

If you don’t want to be described as sleazy, be not a sleaze.

The vaunted Obama “counter-attack” has arrived.

It’s a pudding of false accusations and feigned outrage, topped with a thick syrup of whining.

Exactly!

I hope Obmana brings up his “record” in the debates. I would love to see McCain crush that one out of the park.

If they want to make the remainder of this campaign a debate over national security, McCain should call their bluff. He can whip them badly on this as well.

For the sake of the country, it would not be bad to reiterate just what happened in the political debate over Iraq.

Ray you may be onto something! A great ploy if it works.

You almost sound like you hope it does?

I hope not.

After years of Bush bashing and blaming Rove, Rumsfeld, Ashcroft and Republicans for every problem they can dream up, Democrats believe if they say it long enough and loud enough that many people will believe it eventually.

Sadly, that’s happened all too often. This time around, it may not be so easy for them to get away with it.

An accusation is often a subconscious confession.

“I warned that going into Iraq would distract us from Afghanistan.”

Was 0 even a senator or anything else way back then?
If not, *who* did he “warn”?

A clear case of accusing your opponent of what you yourself are doing.

They are running an intentionally false add regarding McCain on technology - first of all, McCain has long been regarded as one of the most tech-savvy members of the U.S. Senate, and second of all, he has not gotten into sending e-mails personally due to his disability.

"They will try to distort my record..."

That is absurd on the face of it Senator Obama, as you don't have a record!

I trust that the democrats are going to screw us and hand over our soveignty to the terrorists. So Big Mac and the Barracuda have certainly not undermined my trust in the jackass party one bit.

You know, this statement at this time, right after such an intense attack on Palin that most Americans have recognized is really kind of stupid. It is glaring on what sleazy is and it looks pathetic.

The only people rah rahing this mess are the loons on the left that are in self-destruct mode.

I know and that's what makes this so rich. Most Americans tune out to the bashing because they are so busy with their day to day lives. The Sarah bashing was so intense that the average Joe's did take notice she was getting verbally assaulted and are well aware of it.

I love to see them stick him with wanting to give us four more years of LDJ’s great Society and Carter’s economic and foreign policy. Of course that would really be unfair..to LBJ and Jimmy. Obama’s designs are much more radical.
