No info, just commentary.
Can you imagine how much better this election would have been if John McCain had been the person he portrayed himself as? The serious, independent sraightalker? Instead he got scared by Obama's trip to Europe and decided to go dirty from the get go. These are serious times and the American people should be earnestly debating between two clear visions of the future. To think that I honestly thought at one point that McCain would be good for the election and it would focus on the real issues, not reality TV drama.
But no, McCain decided to betray everyone that somewhat respected him, betray the country, and run the most jaw-dropingly cynical campaign of our lifetime. At least Bush pretended he wasn't behind the lies, McCain spreads them himself! Is this the same guy that asked Bush to condemn the Swift boat ads? And the level of cynicism it takes to pick a beauty queen as a running mate, a bright shiny distraction for the masses, is mind blowing!
The former war "hero" has no respect for democracy. He is a disgrace.
I admit I am scared. I'm not sure what this campaign reveals about how McCain/Palin would govern, I just know I don't want to find out. But I'm not going down without a fight. I live in Oakland so I'm going to drive to Nevada every weekend until November and knock on doors. I want to be able to tell my kids that I tried.
What are you going to do?
