I was trying to find the quote where McCain said this was going to be a clean campaign about the issues. Anyone got it?
He suddenly knew this was out of his control. He's been playing to the base side of the fringe right winger, the nut. There was a glimmer of the old John McCain, the guy we used to see, even if it was a farce. His campaign has been nothing short of a complete disappointment. He hired Bush's boys and played the game their way and here they are destroying him one more time. It is South Carolina all over again. In his face everything was apparent, they had misread the public terribly.
This election, the nation isn't prepared to play games, our economy is spiraling downward, quickly, and all McCain's campaign offers is another scare tactic, another gimmick. McCain sold his soul. The look on his face, he was suddenly Gollum, lost without his master, knowing there was something wrong, but his longing for the ring was just to powerful to overcome so he was willing to do what ever it takes. Suddenly he realized it too, he felt it. He realized he sold his soul and it is destroying him. He knew what they'd done was wrong. He'd allowed his campaign to step over the line.
Cranky and stubborn as he is, McCain's overwhelming sense of honor has always been one of his truly winning traits. In just that instant, I saw some of the old McCain trying to break through the smoke of wild-eyed hatred that is emerging from the far right, as he desperately tried to assure the mob that Obama indeed did not have horns and a forked tail or a Koran and a bomb vest, for that matter.
But the crowd wouldn't have it. "The beast is unleashed", and we can only hope that they find something else to distract them before things really get ugly.

And they're the same people the McCain campaign has sought to bring over to their side... the same Reagan democrats who've been used and abused for the last 30 years...
They have good reason to be angry- it's just directed at the wrong people...
And a couple of hours after he told one rally that "Sen. Obama is a decent person and a person you don't have to be scared of as President of the United States," he was back on the stump spewing fear and smear about Ayres. :roll:
John McCain couldn't keep his Double Talk Express on track if it had training wheels. :thumbsdown:

Apparently that old lady who called Obama an Arab got interviewed on camera
Pretty scary to think that there are so many others just like her, the uninformed baby boomers. She doesn't even buy the fact that McCain was speaking the truth in rejecting that notion.

Holy Christ. Just like there is an age restriction that one must be 18 to vote, there should be a test to show you are not batshit insane once you turn 70 to continue being able to vote.
