To quote Mr. McCready, a character in V to much better effect then he, Bullocks.
McCain with his use of the same common expression, with Obama's use of it long before McCain's choice for his co-loser in this race has over reached his hand.
Barack Obama merely has to pluck the ripe fruit of people's weariness of Swift Boat lies and garbage and call McCain's hand.
John McCain's hand will fold, and he will lose this election.
This election is the people's choice to make. Not McCain's, not Bush's, not Carl Rowe's or any other manipulative wannabe who operates to get their way by dividing people.
There is no damage in this remark, only in the phony and contrived reaction to it that is so transparent to everybody.

You are very naive Mike. Of course this (s)Election will be decided by image and manipulation (and vote fraud) - just as they have all been since LBJ.
And Oh'Bummer's embracing the Mental Hellth State e.g., the Orwellian "New Freedom" Initiative to drug every kid in America on mind control drugs is not exactly a ringing endorsement. Both of the so-called candidates are foul scum, it is just a matter of which one stinks less.

I'm not a big believer in outright vote fraud deciding elections.
Why would they bother with such a risky scheme, when the mass media and political parties have narrowed the (non)choice down to two candidates who are equally acceptable to the establishment elites?
The basic strategy is to have the party machines and mass media marginalize and black out any candidates who might really shake things up (Ron Paul, etc), all the while making sure that whether you have an R or a D, the powers that be are equally happy. There isn't any need for vote fraud when nobody knows about or gets to vote for anyone other than two candidates that have the right brand name seals of approval.
wouldn't it be great though if we all stayed home en masse or do what LAC and many others are doing, vote third party. i know it's a pipe dream because there are too many who benefit monetarily, etc with the system in place.
A lot of people who don't vote, far from being uninformed or not caring, do so out of frustration with the candidates.
I think that the best way for them to vent their frustration is by a third party protest vote. However, not voting could be the next best thing. If the day comes when only 20% of eligible voters do so, idiots like Bush can't go around talking about a "mandate."
