You accused him of not publicly calling on whomever was responsible to stop the calls. That was false. He publicly criticized the calls in Iowa, in NH, and again in SC. So first you falsely accuse him, then when proven wrong, say that it was “easy” for him to criticize the calls. Please explain exactly, precisely what — if anything — additional he could do about the calls that you believe would be sufficient and honorable.
He didn’t go to the press in NH to denounce it at least it was never portrayed in the mainstream media like that. Only time I heard him say anything publicly about the pollsters was two days ago. before you point me to a website, a press releases on a website don’t really mean anything to people that don’t go to the website.
What could he have done? From the start, he could have called out the company that is doing this for that 527 group, told people to ignore the calls from that group and flood the FEC with complaints about that group. He could have told people to block calls from the company that does this (if they have that feature) and taken out an ad or a series of ads stating how he doesn’t support this stuff.
That is what someone needs to do, maybe not him, but someone needs to go after this garbage politicking before the real elections so the public is aware of it.
Look, he benefited from this 527 nonsense and the only one I blame for that is McCain, who himself is a victim of attacks from these groups too which is sweet justice to those of us that don’t like the restrictions placed on speech by McCain/Feingold.
