Hey at least they aren't directly saying he's john Kerry... like uh... the current Democratic assaults on McCain. It's the exact same thing on both sides.

Come on, voting records and political ideologies are completely fair game. I agree that McCain will run his administration much differently than Bush, but I, someone who does like McCain, have been shocked at how many Bush policies McCain has adopted and is willing to maintain, especially the Bush tax cuts. What happened to fiscal responsibility?
Fearmongering is completely different than attacking someone on issues. Obama is pretty liberal, and I think it is fair game to talk about that, but the video makes it clear that many of these attacks are just from the Old Republican Bag O' Tricks that tap into America's distaste for "elitists" and "foreigners."
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
