With the current economic turmoil the country is facing and the rapid approaching election, McCain will be releasing statements over the next 30 days to do whatever he can to try and win votes. With no solutions in sight other than more tax cuts for the wealthy, the McCain campaign is going to the GOP's key saying "Be very afraid."
The McCain campaign is making ridiculous statements about Barack Obama, calling him dangerous, dishonorable, and too risky for America. McCain is leaving Palin to lead the "fear-mongering parade", and she is making absurd statements saying that Obama "pals around with terrorists", and saying "he doesn't see America like you or I see America".
These kinds of statements are just examples of playing dirty politics, and I don't think it is a fair and legitimate strategy. This is because some people will see these statements and believe them to be true. Its obvious this article is very liberal because it is mocking what the McCain campaign is doing and seems to be supportive of Obama.
Also, the article continues to say that the only way McCain can get votes is by "selling his once-valued dignity and honor". This statement is obviously very harsh, but it conveys a very clear message: McCain's campaign once based on the truth is now a campaign that is doing whatever it can to get votes it needs.
McCain's statements are attempts to deviate from important topics like health care, and an economy on the brink of apocalypse. I agree with this, because it is really just a petty attempt to distract voters who are plagued by ignorance.
McCain and his sorry excuse for a VP nominee are trying to expose the "real" Obama to America, but in the process proved just how corrupt the McCain campaign has become.
"Sooner or later people are going to figure out that if all you run is negative attack ads, you don't have much of a vision for the future, or you're not ready to articulate it."
This quote was said by John McCain in 2000, in response to negative attacks recieved from Bush, Rove, and a few others. It seems just a bit hypocritical. Is McCain saying he doesn't have much of a vision for the future? is he not ready to articulate it?

I think that this a good commentary on the McCain strategy. I really liked how you addressed his comment from 2000 because it does make him seem a little hypocritical (not that both candidates don't seem that way from time to time - HA) Good work.
