Mccain camp going negative? You betcha
In yet another desperate attempt to gain some much needed ground, Mccain has revived the Rev. Wright and William Ayers controversy. I always knew Mccain was waiting for the opportune moment to try and re instill fear into the hearts and minds of Americans. There is not better time, Obama is substantially ahead in the polls and from here on out it will be harder to change peoples minds. This is a smart strategy for the Mccain camp, because that is there only chance, to make Obama look risky. However, in our current financial situation it could seriously back fire. Mccain/Palin are always spouting how they don't like "politics as usual", but that is exactly what they are doing. They know they cannot win on the issues and therefore they are playing the politics of distraction. They know they can't win on the economy, so they are going to distract us with Rev Wright. They know they can't win on healthcare, so they are going to distract us with William Ayers. They know they can't win on Iraq, so they are going to paint Obama as unpatriotic. I am not even going to engage in these tired arguments by defending Obama. There is no need because unlike what the Mccain camp is saying this campaign is about the Issues and not about personality. The state of our country domestically and internationally is too important to let these smear tactics work. So Sarah Palin can try and use fear tactics and personal attacks to win over the American people, but I don't think they are going to buy it.
