A twenty-year-old scandal in which McCain was found clean? Well, I guess they could just make shit up if they wanted;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>On Sunday Obama unveiled a TV ad on the economy that paints McCain was &#8220;erratic in a crisis.&#8221; Some see that as a reminder of McCain&#8217;s age, 72.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats were well-synchronized Sunday, using the word &#8220;erratic&#8221; and Keating&#8217;s name in nearly-matching sentences across the talk show circuit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Oh, I see they already are doing just that. I wonder if bullshit will stick to McCain as well as facts stick to Obama. Then we&#8217;ll see who are the racists here.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>McCain and his aides, Obama said, &#8220;are gambling that he can distract you with smears rather than talk to you about substance. They&#8217;d rather try to tear our campaign down than lift this country up. It&#8217;s what you do when you&#8217;re out of touch, out of ideas, and running out of time.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Heh. It&#8217;s not a smear if it&#8217;s true.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Yet instead of addressing these crises, Senator McCain&#8217;s campaign has announced that they plan to turn the page on the discussion about our economy and spend the final weeks of this campaign launching Swiftboat-style attacks on me.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There was an element of truth to the Swiftboat Vets. Is Obama admitting that there&#8217;s an element of truth to his relationaship with domestic terrorist Ayers? The thing is if there was nothing to Obama&#8217;s relationship to Ayers, it wouldn&#8217;t bother him, but because he&#8217;s having such a violent reaction to Palin&#8217;s comments, well, that just tells me there&#8217;s something bad in there somewhere. I guess he should have come clean about it during the primaries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since Sarah Palin has brought up the connections between Obama and his friends the domestic terrorists, &hellip; <a title=\"Democrats threaten MAD\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=3691\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Democrats threaten MAD<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,47],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3691","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-barack-obama","category-liberals-suck"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3691","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3691"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3691\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3691"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3691"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3691"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
