While I agree this is outrageous, and to be pounced upon to the extent prudent or advantageous, the daily carnivals of scandal, smear, gaffe, investigation, and faux pas that drive every election sprint MUST NOT throw us off the task at hand: McCain, Palin, and all of us have to buckle down on economic issues and meat/potatoes policy messages about why our ticket is better for America than Hussein/Binladen.
We’re all mezmerized by Sarah and yes, there is steak under all that sizzle—but Hussein/Axelrod and their minions/media mustn’t be afforded any opportunity whatsoever to re-seize any initiative at all on fundamental issues about America’s future.
If McCain galvanizes and drives home some more much-needed, solid credibility on the economy(beside his minor trump mojo on domestic drilling) we’ll have those battleground states after all, and all along will be knocking bogies like this out of the sky in flames.
I agree - I was dismayed by the faux outrage type ads, and the Jane Swift concall this week. Respond with humor, or with the “not angry, but saddened” or something along the lines of “well, I’m sure Sen. Obama had no idea why I can’t type, but that’s what happens when you focus on personal attacks instead of issues. I’d rather talk about reducing taxes, etc....”
In short, we’re on the same page. But the gaffery is a joyous by-product of the current momentum of the race...
I have got to take issue with you here.
Both Sarah and John talked about keeping taxes low, reform, energy indepenence ?
you sound like a Democrat. I guess you want to hear about some welfare programs ?
