I watched the 3rd Presidental debate Wednesday night. It was a good debate, i thought, and i was glad it was focused entirely on domestic issues.
In the debate, I heard McCain denouncing Obama for his negative ads “attacked (McCain’s) health care policy.” I thought it was a strange comment, since that is the sort of thing i think political ads should be addressing. You know, the issues.
And then McCain turned right around and started talking about Bill Ayers. And i just read that McCain has authorized thousands and thousands of robocalls - automated voice calls – that do the same thing. Calling voters and warning them of Obama’s supposed association with a terrorist. It’s even more despicable since McCain has loudly criticized robocalls in the past. Isn’t this the worst of negative campaigning? How can he accuse Obama of it with a straight face?
I guess i understand where he is: he has no other choice. He is losing, from what i’ve seen of the polls. And McCain will do anything not to lose. Which is one of the big reasons i do not want him as President. An unscrupulous man, who will intentionally mislead the American people and try to scare them about the character of a very responsible and honest man, just to get elected.
It scares me.
If Obama responds in kind i will lose faith. Maybe move to Canada.

especially since that is exactly what happened to him when Bush used the same tactic to call voters in the south to tell them McCain had adopted an african american child, when in fact it was an asian child. And we see what happened when W won with those tactics.
