They have gone far beyond the usual fare of quotes taken out of context and distortions of an opponent’s record — into the dark territory of race-baiting and xenophobia. Senator Barack Obama has taken some cheap shots at Mr. McCain, but there is no comparison.
Despite the occasional slip (referring to Mr. Obama’s “cronies” and calling him “that one”), Mr. McCain tried to take a higher road in Tuesday night’s presidential debate. It was hard to keep track of the number of times he referred to his audience as “my friends.” But apart from promising to buy up troubled mortgages as president, he offered no real answers for how he plans to solve the country’s deep economic crisis. He is unable or unwilling to admit that the Republican assault on regulation was to blame. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/08/op...in&oref=slogin |
It's not surprising. The depth the Senator's selection for VP is willing to go, to tear at the fabric of unity built by countless folks working tirelessly, sometimes at the risk and eventual loss of life, is appalling. If there is no clearer litmus of the Senator's judgment or lack thereof, it is Governor Palin.
