| | McCain attacks anti-pedophile legislation | |
Speaking of going negative and distorting records, McCain has decided to go whole hog. I sense this is the beginning of a very civil final stage of the election.
McCain is running an ad in which he attacks legislation Obama supported to prevent kids from being the victims of pedophiles. How? Quote: |
Obama supported "age appropriate" sex-education for children as a means of teaching them what was proper or inproper touching, as well as to protect them against pedophiles, his campaign has said.
| McCain's ad characterizes it as "Obama wants to teach sex education before kids can even read!"
This is far worse than that ridiculous Muslim rumor, and it's endorsed by McCain.
Honor? |

I'm sorry, J.P., but I also saw this on Huffington's Web site: Quote: |

| That nails it for me. He's the anti-Christ.

If I hadn't seen the video, I couldn't believe it. This goes to show, maybe McCain should preview his material before approving it. Ugh.

He's the anti-Christ. | The actual anti-Christ has distanced himself from the Bush administration, even though he agreed with a heck of a lot of Bush's policies, back in the day. He's not on any ballots this year, but I suggest you write him in. Make sure you specify THE anti-Christ, or some other politician might claim the vote.
If he can distance himself from Bush, that's worth a vote. |

 Then Jon Bon Jovi must be the spawn of Satan or something, he had a $30K/seat concert last weekend for Obama.

MJ. Did you *have* to say "Celine Dion"? You know how I get when anyone says that. I hate when people talk like that!  |

Wonder when McCain is going to launch an ad against the Cub Scouts saying they want to teach your kids about sex before they can read?
I posted this comment by Joe Klein in another thread, but it bears repeating. Quote:
Back in 2000, after John McCain lost his mostly honorable campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, he went about apologizing to journalists--including me--for his most obvious mis-step: his support for keeping the confederate flag on the state house.
Now he is responsible for one of the sleaziest ads I've ever seen in presidential politics, so sleazy that I won't abet its spread by linking to it, but here's the McClatchy fact check.
I just can't wait for the moment when John McCain--contrite and suddenly honorable again in victory or defeat--talks about how things got a little out of control in the passion of the moment. Talk about putting lipstick on a pig.
