Can an honorable man run a dishonorable campaign?
Edited on Mon Jul-28-08 09:27 AM by npincus
Obama campaign, speaking of McCain, says "McCain is an honorable man running a dishonorable campaing". I beg to differ.

What do you think?

1. No.
McCain has shown that he is not a man of honor. I disagreed with that statement as well, but it's not like Obama can call McCain 'dishonorable'.

3. Obama campaign does itself a disservice by perpetuating the myth
of the "honorbale man-war hero". When the country starts seeing McCain for what he really is, then we have a better chance in Novemebr.

5. McCain is to honor what Bush is to intelligence.

2. Keating Five
McCain's involvement in the Keating Five shows just how "honorable" this so-called "straight shooter" is.

7. I think it is a great line.
it leaves the McCaint Complain Team sputtering. It portrays McCaint as not even in control of his own campaign. It points out the obvious: they've gone negative and forsaken any attempt at veracity, while not directly attacking the increasingly irrelevant McCaint on a personal level.

9. Grow some balls, Obama campaign. That was a lame-ass response.
