They're proving that John McCain and Sarah Palin are living
up to the Karl Rovian standard of politics. I thought this was
going to be an election of change (a phrase we've heard from BOTH
campaigns), not of swift boat attacks. But the McCain campaign is
doing what they said they wouldn't do. While our economy is an epic
freefall, this is what the McCain campaign has to say:
It's a dangerous road, but we have no choice," a top McCain
strategist told the Daily News. "If we keep talking about the
economic crisis, we're going to lose." (

It might be a dangerous road for them, but it's an even more
perilous trek for American citizens just trying to pay their bills
and fill their gas tanks. But all the McCain camp wants to talk
about are the attacks that McCain himself said he would never
launch back in the spring:
(talking about the North Carolina GOP campaign ad): McCain said
he hasn't seen the spot. "I hope that I don't see it," he told
reporters on his campaign bus. "I had enough of a description of it
to know that's the kind of campaigning that I have told the
American people we're not gonna do."

All this is doing is opening people's eyes to the type of
country we would be under McCain-Palin: divided, hate-filled,
apathetic, and petty. We need to change this if we are even going
to have a chance at a better life for our children.
OPEN YOUR EYES AND REALIZE WHAT HE IS DOING!!
Don't let them win. Don't let the Rovian tactics once again
take over our election.
Vote for change. Vote for Peace. Vote for our children. Vote,
because it's the RIGHT thing to do.
