John McCain, you have no right to verbally bash!

The Presidential race is in the home stretch, and the political mud-slinging is reaching a fever pitch. This weekend is proof positive, Presidential nominee John McCain, has changed his campaign strategy to attack Barack Obama on of all things, his character. I almost fell out of my chair laughing when I heard of this latest attempt of breaking down the integrity of Barack Obama. If anyone should be reviewing their lack of integrity and character, John McCain should take a long long look in a mirror.

If memory serves me correctly, didn't the U.S Congress just recently pass an enormous economic "first aid" bill? But, not one week ago it fell flat right to the floor, overwhelmingly opposed and destroyed by the Republican party. What happened to the new "savior" to the faltering Republican party? Was he not supposed to bring together the Republicans and Democrats together on a political olive branch and get the economy back on track? Well this collaboration never even came to fruition, not even close to be very honest. More Republicans tucked tail and ran for the hills but yet we were told that McCain had brought the Republicans to the table on this and it would pass, well McCain you failed.

So here are we are a week later, the "Bail out rescue" is passed and signed now, so why is it that there's a bad taste here? Oh, that's right, the Republican party finally sucked it up and jumped on the bandwagon to pass this thing. Well what turned it around for them? It wasn't John McCain, it was in fact a familiar term, "Ear-marked, Pork barrel" projects, and they were even given a special name for the Republicans "sweeteners". In case you missed it, and you probably did, certain ear-mark pork barrel programs were NEEDED by certain Republicans in order for them to even put their names next to this proposed bill. Ok, these programs might actually be needed on behalf of the American people right? Hmmm, lets see what they are? Lets look at a few of the organizations that will be receiving tax breaks all in an effort to help benefit the passage of this bill: Film and Television Productions, Wooden Arrows designed for use by children, 6 page package of earmarks for litigants in the 1989 Exxon Valdez incident, Alaska, Virgin Island and Puerto Rican Rum, American Samoa , Domestic Production Activities in Puerto Rico , Auto Racing Tracks , Wool Research . Now factor these into the original bail out plan and now its not a 700 billion dollar plan its now over 800 billion dollars! And this what was needed for the Republicans to go along with this??

This should raise a very serious question with voters come November, isn't there a candidate who has been insistent on eliminating ear-marked pork barrel spending in Washington? Why yes there is, its John McCain. The same John McCain that said he would bring the party together, the same John McCain that said he would veto any ear-marked pork barrel spending bill that came across his desk if he were president, and the same John McCain that insisted that the "fundamentals of our economy were strong". So now I ask you, who is really going to be responsible for raising taxes for the American people given the track record of this "bail out" bill alone? Well the fingers should really point to John McCain. How can he be trusted now? He went against (once again) his own campaign promises, and he cannot even get the confidence of his own party!

Now in the few remaining weeks John McCain plans to attack Barack Obama on character. Basically trying to put doubt in the minds of the American people about Obama's distinctions.
You have got to be kidding me. John McCain actually has the guts to attack someone on this issue? McCain it's very apparent that your floundering campaign is on a desperate level, the American people are starting to see how weak your words are, how you only jump issues just because you're slipping in the polls, and how your VP pick is only a puppet with the ability to spew out pre-fabricated responses just to appease a base that has all but abandoned you.
So you go ahead and attack McCain, keep it up. Because while you're doing all the smearing, your opponent is going ahead with actual policy planning, assuring the American people on Jobs, Health Care, and the Economy. Aren't these the issues that really matter? Well looks as if John McCain should change his campaign slogan, "Putting the issues on the back burner.. Campaign First". Oh wait, does this seem like Deja Vu? That's right, there's someone already in the White House that already does that, looks like McCain and Bush really are alike after all.
