As many of you remember, I was leaning against Obama and toward McCain, and that Obama would not win my vote, but McCain could lose it and make me vote against him. I've been holding out hope that McCain had some of what I respected in his original campaign left in him.
Lately, I have been troubled by McCain's campaigns dirty tactics, which are akin to those used against him by GWB in 2000.
I will now say that with this latest lipstick "controversy," the last straw has been broken as far as I am concerned. While I am sure some will suck it up, a person with any intelligence at all should be insulted by this sort of cynical twisting of words, and cannot vote for a person engaging in this sort of misleading campaigning. McCain has undeniably, and tragically, become what he fought against all these years.
It is now absolutely clear to me that a vote for McCain is a vote for four more years of corrupt Bush style government and politics, which would be a continued unmitigated disaster, and I will thus be voting for and/or financially supporting his opponent (whom I still consider a demagogue, BTW) simply because this latest ad makes absolutely clear to me that McCain should not be allowed anywhere near the White House.
