John McCain has run a nasty message-less campaign.
Mr. McCain gambled and ignored his long-established qualities and selling points, instead he chose to run a standard GOP fear-hate mongering campaign. To make matters worse, McCain allowed George Bush’s THUGS to hijack his outfit, and transform it into a stinking smear churning machine.
The sadness in this for John McCain, is that it is the same Bush operatives who derailed him in the 2000 presidential primaries, using the same exact tactics he has been using against Obama. In the 2000 South Carolina primary, George Bush’s goon-squad circulated church fliers that labeled McCain “the fag candidate.” They slurred McCain as having fathered “illegitimate children,” in Vietnam, and insinuated taht McCain’s adopted Bangladeshi daughter was “black.”
Bush’s criminals also alleged that McCain was both gay and cheated on his wife, and that his wife Cindy was a drug addict.”
Eight years later, McCain has deployed the same “WINNING Bush Tactics.”
McCain’s pitiful attempts to scare voters, seems to have failed miserably. Other than the nasty, racist and illiterate right-wing faction of the GOP, who are already drowning in hate, I don’t see many other voters responding favorably to McCain’s barrage of hate and innuendo.
Even the most mentally challenged of voters will stop and think twice — when confronted with mean-spirited McCain mailers that portray Obama as a CRIMINAL, a TERRORIST, a BABY-KILLER, a MARXIST SOCIALIST, a REDISTRIBUTIONIST or even a GANG-BANGER.
Why? Because it doesn’t make sense!
In twenty one months of campaigning, Obama has never displayed anything close to being a TERRORIST, or any of the the things listed above. Instead he has shown remarkable poise, confidence, maturity and supreme intelligence. Nothing close to what McCain and his despicable “moose-cow,” Sarah Palin would like everybody to think he is.
Eight years ago George Bush floored McCain with HATE and INNUENDO. In 2008, he has done it again!
That “Joe The Plumber,” a tax cheat and a con-man is McCain’s main attraction, with five days to go, is measure of how appalling McCain’s circus of a campaign has become.
McCain has lost his brand as a maverick, and is henceforth a cheap small-minded partisan, with questionable judgement.
He has severely damaged his reputation, and all the hard work he put in during his 20+ years as a lawmaker, to cultivate a credible “maverick image,” has been flushed down the toilet.
Expert analysis predicts an Obama win, and I firmly believe that REASON will trounce RACIAL FEARS next Tuesday, and America will get its first black president.
As for the yelping side-kick Sarah Palin — she might have a future, as the leader of the Republican BASE, comprising of right-wing blockheads — rotting and choking in racism, bigotry and religious mediocrity.
If Sarah Palin hopes to run in 2012, as she has hinted, then I suggest she run for president of Alaska, after she secedes the state from the union.
Other than that, she should never be allowed on the national stage again.
I find her intoxicatingly inept — an intellectual midget of Bush proportions, a “category five moron,”(per Bill Maher), who must never be allowed anywhere near the highest office in the land.
A Russian parliamentarian recently had this to say: “Palin, the shreiking cow from Alaska is the joke of American politics. She is a ‘housewife, chosen by mere chance.‘”
I strongly agree!
