I dunno about anyone else, but I'm hoping that Obama holds way back on going negative. I was pretty sure I was voting for him a long time ago, and he's not going to lose me by going gonzo apeshit on McCain or Palin, but I'd kinda hoped he was better than that.
I know its hard to hold back when the hockey mom says you are "pal-in" around with terrorists, but we kind of expect that from the fundamentalists. Playing the fear card has been their Modus Operandi for too many years to count. We don't have to become them to beat them.
I'm also getting tired of the McCain is Bush shit. And fuck anyone who calls me naieve... you assholes should know better. McCain ain't Bush, and everybody knows it. Anyone who saw what happened to McCain in South Carolina in 2000 know that McCain isn't Bush. But you don't have to be Bush to be a machochistic irritable power hungry little bastard. I'm just saying... different monsters, different names.
I expected McCain to turn into the political monster he is now as soon as he won the primaries, and he certainly didn't let me down. But lets be honest, he was the one saying NO to torture when everyone else was avoiding looking anyone in the eyes.
To Tell You The Absolute Truth I think McCain/Palin would have a better chance going negative on Bush at this point. The 15% of Americans who still support the president sure as hell weren't leaning for McCain anyway.
