It's reached the point where's it's pretty simple: McCain is a liar.
Sigh.
Barack Obama accused the McCain campaign of "lies" and "Swift boat" politics Wednesday, after nearly a day of claims his 'lipstick on a pig' comment was a sexist attack leveled at GOP VP candidate Sarah Palin.
"Spare me the phony outrage. Spare me the phony talk about change," Obama said at the start of an education event in Virginia. "We have real problems in this country right now. The American people are looking to us for answers, not distractions, not diversions, not manipulations. They want real answers to the real problems we are facing.
"I don't care what they say about me. But I love this country too much to let them take over another election with lies and phony outrage and swift boat politics," he also said. "Enough is enough."
The McCain camp is rapidly squandering their goodwill with the press. In another week, the narrative is going to shift because the media is starting to push back on the constant stream of lies.
is what i would like to do right now ...
i nearly (due to my own errors, of course) had to stay in a horrifying hotel during my visit to the seamy underbelly of LA. basically, anyone could have climbed right over the railings of my "deck" to get into my room. and there were containers from the port being stored in the parking lot. awesome.
am now safely ensconced in manhattan beach, which appears to be the land of chain restaurants, hotels, stores, and people. there seriously looks to be some sort of consultant convention at my hotel, given the sea of blue shirts and khakis in the lobby area at night.
regardless, i'll be home on thursday to see! my! new! bed!
A very good ad:
I like how Obama has moved the election to a referendum on change rather than a referendum on experience. Palin's pick only reinforces that meme...meaning that at the end of the day, voters will have to decide which of the two tickets offers a better chance for change. Needless to say, with ads like this, the Obama camp is making the choice easy.
sadly, i have so much work to do these days that i no longer have any time to post.
i will only say that the fact that someone i know found sarah palin more compelling because he saw a photo of her with an assault rifle and a moose makes me lose all faith in humanity. or at least midwesterners, as the self-hating midwesterner that i am.
ps - brad appears to suck at motorstorm, despite the fact that i assume his days that are devoted mostly to videogames.
