Obama is palling around with a terrorist? Amazingly old news that Sarah Six-pack would have known if she had watched the primary, but of course we donīt know if she watches television (they may not have television in Alaska, I donīt know). The McCain campaign has made it clear that they are going to hit "below the belt" at every chance given them. Itīs a sad state of affairs when we try to bring in old character assassinations that have been used before and failed.

Why sad? John McCain the man, the war hero, and a man that has been loyal to his country for as long as his opponent has been alive has decided to unleash his Pit Bull to be his hit man/woman. We canīt win this race on the issues so letīs drag the opponentīs character into play.

This could backfire on McCain. After all he has a few skeletons in his own closet. Isnīt there an old saying that states a person should make sure their own front porch is clean before they give their neighborīs grief about their dirty front porch. A great man who promised a clean campaign broke his promise almost as soon as his primary was over. The real John McCain had decided to "swift boat" his opponent, too bad really. Itīs kind of like finding out your best friend actually is irrational sociopath.

Maybe itīs McCainīs age. Is he too old to make sense? Personally, Iīm getting up there in years and Iīm not sure I could handle all the stress. John could be going through some kind of menopausal moment. Letīs face it he did pick out a cute little forty-plus running mate even though her voice is like experiencing fingernails scraping a chalkboard. Whew, that woman scares me.



I believe this whole letīs rip the legs off this African American terrorist idea is going to blow up in the collective faces of the Republican party. It seems they donīt give Americans enough credit. You see we are smart and we honestly know the difficulties ahead of our great country. Patriots are more worried about the state of our economy, our future in the Middle East, and our healthcare problems then whether or not Obama attended a funding event hosted by an ex-hippie "terrorist," who now is a professor and has given up his plastic explosives years ago in order to improve Chicagoīs educational system. Obama was eight years old when Mr. Ayres was being a bad boy.

I have been through several presidents and several debates. Most candidates at least conducted themselves with a certain amount of dignity. Mrs. Palin conducted herself like a possessed Sunday-School teacher. Should for some reason the Republicans win the election and God forbid something would happen to John McCain our country would be in jeopardy of losing what little freedom we have left.

If both parties would disappear for some godawful twist of fate I would find myself supporting Wolf Blitzer and Jack Cafferty. Now you know I have to be desperate to make such a complaint. May we all see better days tomorrow and may the wind remain at our backs and hockey moms everywhere develop jock itch.
