John McCain
God appeared to Moses in the form of a burning Bush, and for many people, they wish God would set George W Bush on fire.
For the last few days, John McCain has been ripping into Barack Obama on a sub human level, questioning his personal integrity.
But for me, this last week, will be bad long term for McCain. On Monday, McCain's campaign, not McCain, had to scramble and try to explain McCain's position, that he is prepared payroll taxes. For the mainstream corporate media, it was nothing, but for Conservatives they raised hell, and i get the feeling, the more he has to explain his position, part of the Conservative base is going to sit at home in November.
The next bit of bad news, was the estimated federal deficit in 2009 of 450 billion dollars. McCain reckons he can balance the budget in 4 years, without making people aware, that keeping the Bush tax cuts in 2010, will cost 200 billion dollars. McCain will break his promise to balance the budget if elected.
I dont know if it was the Dalai Lama, but after McCain met him, the tone of his campaign got harsher. Yes McCain dismisses the latest attack as humor, but the problem for him, will be the independent voter, who i dont believe for one minute, likes the whole nasty tone. McCain always states he can reach out beyond the gop base, but the Rovian tactics push him away from them.
All this trash talk may get Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham horny, but as the campaign moves on, he will be regreting these attacks.
