Bloodbath On Tap
OK, fight fans, get ready for a verbal bloodbath.
Last night I heard Candy Crowley of CNN say that she doesn’t expect anything to change as a result of tonight’s presidential debate. I guess she doesn’t watch her own channel much, and I couldn’t disagree with her more.
ACORN may well end up hurting Obama more than Reverend Wright or William Ayers. It’s a legitimate and substantive talking point. O’s campaign clearly didn’t vet ACORN’s current operation adequately, and ACORN’s voter drive was in fact shoddily run and executed. If the Republicans had a parallel association, the Dems would be all over it.
Obama represented ACORN in court before he was an office holder. The campaign paid them for assistance during the primary campaign, and the campaign’s also been doing one seriously clumsy tap dance trying to verbally finesse their way out of the truth.
McCain’s Hail Mary will take the form of a blistering attack that will make his “that one” atrocity seem like proper etiquette. He’ll try to sow as much distrust in Obama as he can and won’t give a damn whether what little that’s left of his integrity remains. That’s some maverick we’ve got there. Might as well give Jesse James the keys to the hoosegow.
He’ll also lie through his teeth. An educated guess is that he has no intention of following through on any of the pie in the sky economic promises he’s been making lately. He also knows that a Democratic congress won’t pass them anyway.
Disengenuousness rules. No, that’s too mild. Shameless lying reigns supreme. For a change.
So the part of the electorate looking for the facts remains ignorant, and those gullible enough to believe what they see on television get some help digging their own graves.

I think that bipartisan is a realistic possibility, in fact does not matter where congress sits and what side of the line they sit on be it Obama or McCain a good plan is a good plan and people will be working towards that together.
if that were only so. i think there’s a “bicker” gene and it’s required to be positive if one wishes to go into politics. of course, there are exceptions, mutations, let’s call them, but those statesman come along rarely. LK
