The whole "guilt by association" argument just doesn't hold water very well. It seems like the McCain camp is just ready to throw the kitchen sink at Obama to see what will damage him. Didn't they learn that it doesn't work and it is a doomed strategy? Did Rev. Wright hurt Barack Obama? It may have a little bit for a little while...but Obama rebounded...big time! Guilt by assocation is just flawed all around. If you met someone who murdered someone in their past...does that make you a murderer? If you had a co-worker who committed fraud in their past...does that make you an accomplice to fraud?
Actually...maybe the Republican ticket should continue to focus on William Ayers & Jeremiah Wright. It's not going to get them anywhere. The American public will realize that they're being fooled with smoke & mirrors to distract them from the fact that John McCain and Sarah Palin don't have the solutions that Americans need.
So...nevermind. Keep your bulldog yapping John.
Not me! I want to hear more of how and why mr.obama is so closely tied to so many horrible people! Ayers, Rev. Wright & the list goes on!

this is a non issue. perhaps if people on both sides would focus on winning and not making the other candidate lose, we would have more faith. as it is now, these two campaigns are painfully typical.
They are sooooo desperate. I just want to tell her...Hey Sara, "you don't need a weatherman to see the way the wind blows."
Yes, and I guess it is a foreign concept to her, people who served on many boards in an intellectual capacity, come across many different people with different viewpoints- well she is from Alaska, I'm sure she was afraid to walk more than one block in NYC.
I am just sick of hearing her period. I still cannot believe more people aren't outraged by her stripper looking for tips winking at the cameras during her debate. It was probably the most non-Presidential thing I have seen during this entire cluster f**k of an election year.
Again, if they want to play the guilt by association card, at least Obama isn't sleeping with Ayers, while Palin is sleeping with a member of the AIP...and speaking at their events as well as raising kids with him. Which sounds worse?
guilt by association is ridiculous. if we used that logic, then john mccain is an associate with every corrupt person in the senate under his watch.
Excellent point.
