Say It Loud

Billmon's back and I'm proud.

And it's the definitive takedown of John McCain, from the Keating 5 days all the way to the present. Really insightful stuff.

McCain is running a gutter campaign. Everyone knows it, even if the campaign and their friends in the barbecue-stained media get shocked, SHOCKED if you bring it up, and accuse you of playing the race card. Please. He's on the Low Road Express and running a relentlessly negative campaign because it's the only way he can win. On the policies and the merits, Americans desire a new direction away from Bush and the policies McCain is offering. The only way for them to win is to make it a referendum on the strange, exotic "new guy."

(And elitist, too - even though the guy with the half-million-dollar credit card charges and celebrity friends and eight houses and $500 shoes is the Republican.)

So they use the same campaign Republicans have used for decades on end.



The guy had an ad ready to run if Obama did visit the troops in Landstuhl, and one ready to run if he didn't. That's the campaign we're getting. Dirty, nasty, and personal. And we're 96 days out.

And if you want to know where this is coming from with the supposedly "honorable" John McCain, read Billmon. He's been unscrupulous and opportunistic for years.
