I Can Dream can't I ???

And Senator McCain has to be the one to kiss and play nice why?

Both sides are slinging mud, they're equally guilty.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Now LH....could you show me where Obama or his running mate has suggested that McCain is not a "true patriot"? A pal of terrorist? "That one"? A subversive?

Please?

[Lady's Human]

In specifically those words, not, but McCain's record has been distorted, Keating five allegations dredged back up, his military record has been attacked (Not directly by the campaign, but by people damned close to it), his marriage(s) and personal life have gone over with a fine toothed comb.

Neither campaign is clean, Sara.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Okay...without looking it up...what is McCain's middle name?

I betcha know Obama's dontcha?

And to the point of the article Liz posted...when has McCain's "patriotism" been questioned?

[Lady's Human]

I knew Sen. Obama's middle name shortly after he was sworn in as a Senator and Sen. Kennedy absolutely BUTCHERED his name.

Had nothing to do with the campaign.

And I'd say the constant harping on McCain's physical and mental health are a bit more scathing for the candidates than questions about patriotism.

[Edwina's Secretary]

McCain's mental health???? I have heard nothing about that! Dish, dish!

I did hear his physical health alluded to by those lovely Wasilla Main Street denizen!

And how many US voters heard Obama's middle name from Ted Kennedy. Now you are just being silly!

[Lady's Human]

Actually, being that the sound bite was a national joke for a couple weeks, probably many.

McCain has been called unstable by several on the other side of the aisle, if you haven't seen those stories you must have one hell of a set of blinders on.

" BUT MOM, HE STARTED IT !!!! " Maybe that's what's wrong with the world, too much contrariness in it. "HE HIT ME FIRST",etc,etc,etc.

Both sides are slinging mud, they're equally guilty.

While both sides are slinging the mud, the ratio is not even. According to CNN, 97% of the McCain ads are negative; 30% of the Obama ads are negative.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Nothing quite like facts to put a fine point on an argument!

Thanks Grace!

Let's see...who will say CNN is a tool of the leftie media?

ANd CNN is an arbiter of equality how?

They have how many former high level dems working for them as "analysts"?

What % of ads are negative vs. positive is hardly an objective statistic. Speaking of which, there are lies, there are damned lies, and there are statistics.

BINGO!! And the winner is . . . . . LH!!

First he said this -Both sides are slinging mud, they're equally guilty.

Now it is this - What % of ads are negative vs. positive is hardly an objective statistic.

Last I looked 50 - 50 was fairly equal. 97 - 30, not so much.

[Edwina's Secretary]

It is an age old tradition...if you don't like the facts...disparage the fact giver! (aka...shot the messenger!)

and of course there is the question...

What % of ads are negative vs. positive is hardly an objective statistic.

Why not????? And if not THAT...then what?
