McCain's Ad Even More Disgusting When You Think About It

In reference to Sen. John McCain's disgusting and appalling ad trying to link Sen. Barack Obama to sexual education of kids. McCain, who ran an honorable, even though unsuccessful primary campaign against George W. Bush in 2000, has blown away any credibility he might have had as someone who is a statesman and carries himself above the sleazy brand of politics that people who will do or say anything to get elected lower themselves to these days. McCain has gone into the gutter and come back out garbage in the form of a pathetic ad that implies that somehow Obama wants to do something that might endanger the safety of kids. How can he bring himself to endorse an ad like this against a man who has two young daughters and would do anything to protect them from the horrors and the worst elements of our society? How can McCain, who has raised kids of his own, exploit young children and the fears of parents for his own political gain. A true patriot would never do something so reprehensible against another man - not to mention a man who is a colleague of his in the United States Senate. How badly does John McCain want to be president of the United States. Notice, in the video that I have previously posted, the photo of Obama at the end and how he is smiling and looking downward (as if to imply he is looking at your kids in a predatory way). Don't for one minute think that was an accidental use of that kind of photo by the people in the McCain campaign who put this together and endorsed it (people from the armpit of our society). This is from a Michael Shaw column on the Huffington Post: "Except, the issue serves as nothing more than a foil to intimate that Obama -- shown in the screen shot with a smarmy grin and his coat looking frumpy -- desires to sexualize the lives of young children. More odious, however, it's also an example of the McCain campaign playing the race card, activating stereotypes of the black man -- seeming to gaze dreamily at something below (or shorter than) him -- as driven by sexual appetite." McCain is a filthy and disgusting man who I no longer have much respect for.
