I Can Dream can't I ???

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.

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.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Seriously I haven't. I have heard him referred to as hot headed and quick tempered. But I do not consider that a "mental health" issue. You know I would not miss something as juicy as that!

You're just being silly about the Ted Kennedy thing...I hope. A few years passed between Obama's swearing in as a Senator and the campaign. I don't think Joe Sixpack watches all that much of Teddy. "National joke" seems a bit of hyperbole.

(Joe Sixpack....that is such an insulting nickname but whatever...)

So let me ask the question again...when has Obama or his running mate said anything about McCain's mental or physical health, patriotism, terrorist status or palling around with terrorist?

You would think that McCain would remember when his campaign was derailed by the dirty tricks of Bush and Rove in South Carolina. When they started rumors that he fathered a black child (his adopted daughter from India) and that his wife is a drug addict. But then again, perhaps he DID remember. And what is McCain's middle name?
