Campaign and Politics

As usual the GOP won't let the facts get in the way of a good attack campaign. Slipping in the polls? Attack the character. Spin half lies, make broad claims with very little proof and let the people who look at the ads fill in the blanks with cobwebs and preconceived notions. Let the girl go on the attack because you have a half a dozen different ways to protect her. Poor interview with softball questions, blame the reporter. Don't know, don't answer. Yet there are still people who eat that shit with a big spoon and a grin to match. Pathetic. This bail-out, I didn't want it. Both McCain and Obama wanted one. McCain is obviously out of his economic depth as well as Obama.

Back to the attack ads that are predictable and it wouldn't bother me as much except that they work. The poll numbers which aren't facts or accurate show how the selection of Palin, an obvious cheap trick for votes worked for far too many. What the hell has this administration done right in the last 8 years so that it garners so much support even now? How can such a large part of the country follow the party that eases taxes on the rich be supported by so many that aren't rich? I believe in less govt too but the banking and mortgage deregulation should prove that there is oversight that is still needed. GOP pushed for deregulation and the Dems let it happen? Who is worse? Do people really want or think Palin can do anything? She's a good face to put on the GOP, a pretty face with not much behind the words she says. It's a politician in lipstick.
