Comments on: Our Choice: A More Perfect Union or A Stalemate? http://politics.drumsnwhistles.com/2008/10/our-choice-a-more-perfect-union-or-a-stalemate/ rants and ramblings of a political junkie Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:15:40 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Carl S. http://politics.drumsnwhistles.com/2008/10/our-choice-a-more-perfect-union-or-a-stalemate/comment-page-1/#comment-5892 Carl S.

Just when I thought we were beyond this sort of thing as a society, baser elements have reared their ugly heads. <br><br>In light of that, I felt it extraordinary that Colin Powell came out as he did, in the terms that he did - as if to challenge the McCain campaign to come after him the same way. In one swoop he undercut the whole "funny named, terrorist-black guy, socialist" line. Maybe we need to hear this stuff denounced once and for all - a swan song for the ignorant. Change is really somethin', ain't ti?

John McCain has defended that robocall as being "totally accurate." In fact, it's totally misleading and devised to do nothing more than scare people. And that is how he will govern.

She pointed out that the man can't be separated from his tactics. Guys like David Brooks say that these tactics aren't the real McCain. They say they know a different man. But we have to ask, can you separate the man from the actions? Just like the selection of Palin, it can't be hidden, it can't be disowned, it can't be painted over. He's done these things -- and they now define him. He is what he does. My wife and I were talking about McCain's tactics today. She pointed out that the man can't be separated from his tactics.
