Its July
101 days before the election and John S. McCain III is already throwing the worst of the Rove Play book at our guy. I mean they waited till mid August at least before they started in on Kerry. Willy Horton didn't appear till October for Dukakis. The negativity and hostility from his campaign is something I have not seen in my lifetime this early.

I may be wrong in thinking this but I see this as a good sign. McCain's campaign has been such a failure so far and has failed to make anyone on his side excited about any solution he offers the American People that the only thing he has is negative attacks. I have not been witness to one positive word of what his vision for the next 4 years will be from his potential administration. The only thing he can say is Obama is a bad guy. Some people respond to negativity and fear but with the economy in the shape its in and 7 years of war people want solutions and John McCain can only talk about drilling for oil and attack Obama.

1. have you considered the possibility that they have LOTS more up their sleeves, or down
their pants?

the whitey spewage from Michelle, supposedly, on tape, in church

LOTS of Obama drug dealing stories, I'll feature, with links to the Black P Stone Nation, Jeff Fort, or whoever's running the hoods these days

you have to always realize that they're capable of ANYthing, including: ignoring specific warnings of real terror threats (Arabs taking flying lessons with the emphasis NOT on landing), stealing elections, making up countless lies as excuses for starting illegal wars, myriad cases of torture and MURDER of prisoners.....should I go on?

a little bit of campaign overexuberance is peanuts to these macadamias

you haven't seen ANYthing yet

However, at least Bush made the appearence of offering solutions...bad solutions and he rarely attacked Kerry that much himself. He would throw a few punches but left most of the punching to his surrogates and 527s. I might be mis-remembering things but I never saw the coward W attack Kerry or Gore with this vigor. He generally hid behind his surrogates. Something odd is going on with the McCain campaign.
Inability to control the candidate?
