| Sqrl said: It is interesting that the response from Obama supporters in regards to Obama's questionable relationships is to lash out at McCain & Palin. But as interesting as it is, its still an off-topic deflection of the issue. If you guys don't want to discuss this issue that's fine, but please don't derail the topic by changing the subject. |
Or maybe the article says as much or more about McCain as it does about Obama, that he is a mudslinging politician just like everyone else. The blow is blunted because he is using Palin as a mouthpiece, but the timing of the statement is very convenient to say the least (McCain is doing worse in the polls than he has been for months).
It would be completely different if the McCain campaign weren't the ones making the accusations. Then it would be misdirection to target McCain.
But I am sorry, this isn't preschool, you just can't pick up your ball and go home if people throw what you say back at you. Making accusations doesn't make you immune to counter-accusations.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
