I don't see Teddy Roosevelt doing something like this.
Nor do I see Ronald Reagan doing it.
What you do is, you take a stand, you explain it to the American people, and you make it clear that you are STANDING UP FOR THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.
Then you point out that McCain is on a twenty-year guilt trip for his involvement in the Keating 5 scandal, and that that is what is motivating him.
Then you summarize by saying, 'I don't think American Citizens' rights of free speech should be sacrificed to atone for the corrupt actions of McCain and others who have tried to SUBVERT the election process in the past'.
I definitely would not have the 'surrender first' attitude that we should all worry and fret about who is going to twist what we say, EVEN BEFORE WE SAY IT! SHEESH!
Let them twist our words, we should be twisting their balls.
The spinelessness of some so-called Republicans really nauseates me.
And dude, I don't mean you, don't take offense.
I mean all the RNC people who REFUSE to STAND UP and LEAD.
All they do is try to anticipate how TV-addicted Rats will respond to the screed of Rather and his ilk.
It's one hell of a way to run a railroad, IMHO.
Bush has the people in the palm of his hand.
That's more than enough.
He needs to LEAD.
Just who are you replying to? That is not from my post.
