Quite to the contrary, the American public–– and this includes Democrats, Independents, and Republicans––salivate and literally feed on dirty ads and low-road campaign tactics.<BR/><BR/>It's unfortunate, but the more obscene, dirtier, and contemptible campaign ads are of late, the more likely a 'win" for the candidate whose campaigns promote them. With that said, look for the next 90-days to be one of the nastiest, slime-riddled, sewer-resembled presidential elections in history. During an earlier blog post, it was noted that Barack Obama and John McCain already had a vitriolic history, and exhibited disdain for each other long before now:<BR/><BR/><BR/> ... my hunch is that the next 6-months is going to be brutal. The prevailing wisdom suggests there remains bad blood from the [McCain/Obama] Ethics Reform break-down and the Flak Jacket heated exchange. And any promise by these two of rising above the usual divisive, negative, detrimentally damaging politics of destruction was just the same-old-same-old Washington, DC political posturing in an effort to look noble! www.vberryhill-soulvoice.blogspot.com/May 9, 2008 <BR/><BR/><BR/>Well, so much for the pretense and promised pre-General Election political posturing by these two. As in any gladiatorial contest, the fight is to-the-death, with the last man standing (bloody as he may be) the victor. It's sad that the primary reason these vile ads and untoward behaviors by the candidates are unchallenged and allowed to pollute the 'spirit' of the electoral process, is the cheering fans/electorates "love" the mayhem and the gore, and the networks make millions of dollars.<BR/><BR/>Let's admonish the faint of heart, and political do-gooders right now. It's best to turn your televisions off beginning today, as the contest leading up through November is NOT going to be pretty, whatsoever. Both sides know that too much is at stake for a patty-cake fight this year.<BR/><BR/>So... just as soon as Obama officially clinches the Democratic nomination, and Senator Hillary Clinton has successfully been removed from even the most remote possibility of being the Democrat's representative in the Fall... look for the Republicans to unleash the 'kitchen', 'bathroom' and 'laundry room' sinks––a furor unmatched in the history of politics––on Obama.<BR/><BR/>And... not to be out done, the Obama camp, Moveon.org, and others will have to get down in the trenches and get 'blood' on their hands as well, or get mowed down mercilessly by the opposition. The Democratic 527's groups will have no choice but to counter with some of the meanest, filthiest ads of their own, leveled against McCain. All while the voters feign repulsion... but talk around the water coolers about who has the best of the worst ads!<BR/><BR/>You've been forewarned! Just get ready for a long, hot bath from November to swearing-in day, January '09. But... even then, the stench from this election cycle will be too pungent to be permanently removed from our nation's history for a long time...<BR/>www.vberryhill-soulvoice.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31964974.post-70912688175874590352008-08-04T13:41:00.000-04:002008-08-04T13:41:00.000-04:00I find it amazing that supporters of McCain seem t...I find it amazing that supporters of McCain seem to forgive his every change of position or missatement of the facts. He admitted that he didn't know much about the economy. Did he give his captors the names of the Green Bay Packers or the Pittsburgh Steelers (who wouldn't become famous until after he was released)? Who knows? Apparently he doesn't. I can guarantee you that if Obama could not keep the Muslim factions in Iraq straight, the press would not let him forget it. And is there an issue that McCain hasn't changed his position on? (the latest being the affirmative action resolution on the ballot in Arizona). <BR/><BR/>And does McCain have anything substantive to say? All I've heard from him and his campaign staff for the last two weeks are complaints about Obama taking a trip that he himself took earlier in the year and bitching about Obama being a celebrity. If John McCain has a plan to help fix this country I haven't heard it yet. <BR/><BR/>And accusing Obama of playing the race card is like accusing John McCain of being white. Barack Obama has written 2 books about who he is, what he believes and where he comes from. He's not trying to hide anything. He came from humble beginnings (although I'm sure those on the right would criticize him for being born in Hawaii)and through sheer hard work and determination has put himself in a position to gain the highest office in the land. I dare you to compare the stories of these two men and tell me that McCain's is somehow more inspiring (McCain has received preferential treatment his entire life, he's been sucking on the teet of affirmative action since birth). And Obama has said many times that this campaign isn't about him, but about the hope and desire of the peoople for something better. That message is somehow always lost on those who would think him just a media creation. <BR/><BR/>And it is John McCain who seems to have the perspective of entrenched victimhood. He complains constantly about the press playing favorites when a recent study showed that simply wasn't true. However if you say it enough times, people believe it. McCain will probably win the election, but you'll never convince me that he's the better man in the election. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for you comment.Mycue23https://www.blogger.com/profile/07474424588090159340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31964974.post-72296781416115544732008-08-04T13:03:00.000-04:002008-08-04T13:03:00.000-04:00The MSM speading McCain's message? You're kidding....The MSM speading McCain's message? You're kidding.<BR/><BR/>As for the race now being a referendum about Obama? <BR/><BR/>It appears so. <BR/><BR/>And that's because the empty suit from Chicago--due to his prevarications, his disingenousness on apparently everything, his ignorance of things such as economics and international relations and nationa security, his consistent playing of his racist card, his inexperience, his entrenched victimhood perspective, his megalomania and more--has created that reality.<BR/><BR/>Had he anything substantive to say, had he shown any leadership qualities, had he done most anything else--and not done all he could to distract from anyone finding out who or what he is--then we'd see something different now. <BR/><BR/>But his me-me-me-me theme led his to this inevitable intersection. <BR/><BR/>And, thank God, John McCain is not Barack Obama. <BR/><BR/>And if that's what it takes for him to say to keep Mr. Anytime-Anywhere out of office, so be it. <BR/><BR/>But, then, Obama has not yet been officially nominated, has he? Denver still awaits.CKAinRedStateUSAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11051384804727827611noreply@blogger.com
