One question would Reagan have gotten all vitriolic and angry at this point in the campaign. McCain’s puzzling statements I will chalk up to mouth diarrhea. Let’s not overreact here and get off our game. Just calling Obama a scum bag for 4 weeks won’t win us the election. It has to be a slow methodical plan to grind him down on policy, personality and personal conduct. I get the spirit of what McCain was saying but like that balloon coming out of his mouth I’ll bet he wanted to reach right up and take it back. I see more Ayers and Fannie stories floating around the MSM and I think they even think it maybe fun to bring the Messiah down ala Brittany Spears style.
Your reasonableness is refreshing.
I agree that McCain probably wished he’d chosen a word other than “decent,” but reasonable people interpret his remarks in light of the entirety of the views he and his campaign have expressed—and will continue to express— on Obambi’s character.
I also agree that this is a slow, methodical process-—otherwise, the attacks, even though they are supremely founded in fact, won’t stick.
Every time you hand the MSM a dumb story to go with-—such as this one, McCain supporters are racist, whatever-—you WASTE a candidate’s time and money and, more so, precious political capital.
Then the MSM surfs on over here to check out the Extreme Pitchfork Crowd and, before long, our guy’s message is totally lost in a MSM-created and amplified macacaland.
I can understand being disappointed at ways various things are handled, but to pitch a total hissy fit on the worldwide web and stir up the snoozers who took forever to realize how dangerous Obambi is to our nation anyway . . . that’s beyond the pale at this point in the campaign.
