In the world of American politics, these have been the most ridiculous I've ever witnessed.


The unimaginable lies coming from the McCain campaign are making me angry. Almost to the point where I get sick. It's unbelievable! Un-fucking-believable. I've never heard so much two-faced talk in my entire life. The ad the McCain campaign just came out with yesterday about Obama wanting to teach sex education to kindergartners is complete bullshit. The bill was to protect them from pedophiles. McCain voted against that bill, and is now using it to make Obama look like a perverted monster. I think it's disgusting - absolutely disgusting.
Not to mention the controversy over Barack Obama's "Lipstick comment" is complete bullshit too. Anyone listening to the speech can very clearly tell he was NOT addressing Sarah Palin. Very clearly. Not to mention in October 2007 McCain used the SAME expression when talking about Hillary Clinton. So, why is he even bringing this up? How is Obama sexist when he says it about a campaign and McCain is not sexist when he uses it about Hillary Clinton? Hmm, I don't know. That shouldn't even be making news.


Here is a link to the ad released by the McCain campaign last night:

That's just stupid. I've never liked McCain, but that made me lose all respect for him.

Do we want a person like that who would stoop so low to be president.? Nooo, we do not.

Mudslinging in American politics has been around ever since Andrew Jackson's time I believe, probably a little earlier.
It's just gotten especially nasty in the modern era.
It is ridiculous, I agree, but what can you do?

You just have to see through all of the bull and look at the issues and the candidate's true credibility.

When you have Karl Rove at the helm, anything can happen! ;)

p.s. it infuriates us all, how he gets a free ride from the media, and passes it off like he is out there getting slaughtered.

Obama will not win. He should win, but because 90% of the voting population in America doesn't look at the issues or truly understand what the fuck is going on, McCain will win. And even if Obama wins, the Republicans will reveal some sort of faux scandal and McCain will become president anyways. McCain doesn't scare me, Sarah Palin does. She's the epitome of corrupt. We don't need even more corruption in our already corrupt government.
