This is all getting ridiculous. McCain’s swinging in quicksand here - every time he brings up Ayers it drives the independents away.

If Palin & McCain are going to win this one, they need to hit Obama on his tax plan, his plans to surrender in Iraq, and his health care plan.

The Democrats are playing Brer Rabbit here - “oh please don’t run any attacks about Rezko or Wright or Ayers!”
They know that if they can keep the focus off the issues, they have a shot at winning next month.

We’re falling into their trap. What happened to touting Palin and McCain as reformers?

An American presidential candidate’s close ties to anti-American terrorists is NOT an “issue”?

Okay. Whatever you say.

Maybe some. Other independents are driven away from Obama. Nevertheless, I think it a good thing that the truth is being told about Obama instead of it being covered up by what used to be called the media but is now Obama's personal PR machine.

It is perfectly honest to bring up those who mentored Obama politically for 20 years.

His own book confesses his love of Marxist ideological discussions at the dorm with fellow radicals.

I’d much rather see Obama and the New Left taken down for their violent and antiAmerican political rhetoric than over some kind of drug or adultery scandal. This is defeating them in the arena of ideas.

Obama lied about his tax plan in the debate. He said that only a small exception of small business owners make more than $250,000. He had that a$$ backwards but the media didn’t call him on it. Small business owners did but can’t get traction. To take this to rallies as a talking point becomes a drawn out game of “he said/he said”. It won’t change hearts and minds.

Why not discuss the issues of abortion and the sex positive agenda? Why only health care and “iraq” and home loans and community service and green energy?

... which is why McCain for the first time in WEEKS is CLOSING on Obama in most polls. Seriously, you are kidding, right?
