At the risk of sounding sexist toward both women and men, men usually don't let their women do their fighting for them. John McCain doesn't see it that way. First it was the Governor Six Pack and now his wife.
Cindy McCain using her son to express outrage over Barack Obama vote to not fund the troops,(by the way, the McCain's said they would not use their son, who was serving in Iraq, for political purposes). Senator Obama voted against the bill she is referencing because it didn't have a timeline for troop withdrawal. She neglected to mention that her husband voted to not fund the troops because the bill had a timeline in it.
On CNN's Anderson Cooper 360, former presidential advisor David Gergen said that we should give McCain credit for not bringing the rhetoric spewed at his political rallies and in his ads to the second debate. None of the questions asked by the audience or the moderator entailed anything concerning the character of either candidate. The questions had to do with health care and the wars and the economy.
McCain is smart enough to realize that slandering your opponent is great for the rallies of the faithful but to smear a man to his face takes conviction. Do you really think that John McCain believes what he is saying about Barack Obama? This is a sitting senator in the United States Congress that you are implying and out right saying is not "American".
Like George W. Bush squandered the goodwill towards the US following the attacks of September 11th 2001, John McCain is squandering the goodwill of a majority of the electorate.
At this rate people won't be remembering John McCain the war hero but John McCain the angry old man that sold his soul to be president.

Hey, watch it buster- I do lots of your fighting :)
McCain can't control the mob and wants to win too badly. I think largely the response that this is getting is shocking and concerns him...(I swear there are times where it seems maybe you see a shadow of his soul is still there). But he wants this too much and is willing to do anything and say anything...it is sad.
I am loving the irony right now because I have HabeshaHouse's mix running in the background, and it is playing Woman's Work...the idea of this song in light of McCain's High Heel Brigade is just too funny...I might have to put this on my blog...
Continue the excellent work with this blog...
and I would like to note as a woman who fights for men all the time (for money of course), sometimes we just flat do a better job...
