Here’s the plan. Say something like, “I think liberals, Democrats, and really anyone who doesn’t vote the way I do or want them to is an anti-American, liberal, tree hugging, horse fucker who hates America. I mean how could you not hate America if you don’t feel the way I feel. I’m American. I love America. I must be a real American.”
Say that while you’re at a rally, standing in front thousands of people and reporters.
Then when asked about it, deny it. Tell anyone who says you said those horrible things is irresponsible, unprofessional, and throw in “elite media” because it really sounds good. Then sit back and pray. Pray to your God. Your God thinks you’re right and will set those other queers on fire.
When someone has you on tape saying those things? Oh, shit. Oops. Looks like you’re a victim of that gotcha media.
Tell ‘em you didn’t mean it.
Shit. It worked for Robin Hayes.

Sooner or later people are going to figure out that if all you run is negative attack ads you don’t have much of a vision for the future, or you’re not ready to articulate it.
You know who said that? John McCain said that. He said that in 2000 when he was running against Bush and being accused of having fathered illegitimate black children, among other things. Now, I guess it’s all water under the bridge. A bridge too nowhere.
Now he’s calling his opponent a terrorist and letting people yell “kill” at his rallies? He’s running ads that call Obama dangerous and dishonorable? He’s selling out … God damn it!
I liked the McCain 2000 model. I didn’t like all of what it said and stood for, but I liked the way it said it. I liked the Straight Talk Express, that he called a kid a “little punk,” that he made witty and sarcastic remarks on Letterman and Jon Stewart. That he seemed (an important distinction) like a reasonable guy with a decent sense of humor.
The McCain 2008 is morally bankrupt and vicious. He’s lost the respect he had for the American people. I do believe that he once thought of the people of this country as able to think for themselves and see through the garbage that he himself is now tossing our way. It’s sad to see a man who once had a vision and passion resort to the underhanded tricks we’ve come to expect. It’s sad we weren’t wrong in expecting them.
I had hoped, when it came down to these two, that we’d finally see real conversation. Somehow I was naive enough to believe that there was a chance that we’d be offered plans that could stand on their own; hear debates that covered topics we cared about; and finally have questions answered honestly and directly. Not bullshit that we’d have to wait days until someone deciphered what was really meant and who was telling the truth.
They’re both capable of clean honest campaigns. They’re both experienced, articulate, intelligent guys who obviously made it far enough to be able to do something unbelievable.That we’re being inundated with smears, lies, and blatant attacks laced with slander is causing me physical pain.
I had bigger hopes for this election.

I thought for some reason that we lived in a free society, where we could pretty much do what we wanted and were free to follow our own conscience, beliefs, and ideals.
I’m kidding, I haven’t thought that in years. Today, bush pulled another “we’re not really free” move.
