On several occasions, typically when asked about the outrageous lies he's spreading about Obama (and about his own record, his positions on issues, even the size of the crowds at his rallies and — amazingly — about being responsible for the existence of the Blackberry), Senator McCain replies that if only Obama had agreed to hold a series of joint town hall meetings with him, the "tenor of the campaign" would somehow have turned out differently.
I see. So McCain wants to play the game a certain way (a way that favors his style and disadvantages Obama, unsurprisingly), and if his opponent does not play by his rules, it's OK to switch from Straight Talk to Shameless Slander?
This just isn't an honest answer.
I used to like John McCain. As I said in a previous post, at one time I felt comfortable with the idea of perhaps voting for him — or of not being upset if he became president in spite of my voting against him. He was once an honorable man. No longer. His recent conduct insults our intelligence and disrespects the founding spirit of America. It's just plain shameful.

Maybe too much White Castle?
This is a serious blog. There is no room for sophomoric humor.
Has anyone thought much about the McCain / Palin slogan of Country First as it relates to the vice presidential nod? Is McCain putting country first by placing a foreign policy novice such as Palin in the on deck circle? Another thought... would Sarah Palin be on the ticket if she wasn't a woman?
More importantly, what does the saying "It's on like Donkey Kong" mean? And who would win in a DSRL battle between the Manning brothers and the Williams sisters?
