Those of you who know me know that I rabidly support John McCain and I doubt I would vote for his opponent in November. Even though I want McCain to win (I mean, what kind of supporter would I be if I wanted his opponent to win?), it doesn't mean I accept or approve of a  "no holds barred" attitude, particularly if one of the non-barred holds is

Good post, Ty! I know you generally consider yourself a Republican (or I've gotten that impression), so the fact that you were mature, intelligent and thoughtful enough to write a post like this speaks volumes.

I wish politicians would stop mudslinging (unless it's something truthful and serious, like "Mitt Romney eats babies"...which I'm gonna start telling people anyway) and focus on policies too.

I do have to say I gainws some respect for McCain when he disassociated himself with a man made racist charged comments about Obama during his rally. While I do think using Obama's middle name is not offensive, the man was implying that Obama was a Muslim and the comment "peel off the dark" is making a negative comment about being black. So, go McCain! I like how dignified he is being. Not like the raging sacastic nightmare, Mrs. Clinton

You're completely right about him having to answer to everything everyone he's ever known somebody who knows somebody knows has done (I realize that was terrible grammar, but I'm a scientist, so it's OK). I didn't mention it too much here because it's something that almost everyone running for every office from president on down to dog catcher (do people actually run for dog catcher?) has to do. It does seem that he is coming under more scrutiny for it, though.

"Mrs. Clinton does not believe in the American people. She sounds like she thinks we are all stupid and need to be told how to live our lives."
I love you.

You forgot the whole issue with Obama wearing full Muslim-looking garb during a trip to Kenya which was released by someone of the Clinton campaign but Hillary didn't know about it. Yet another way to paint him as a Muslim.

There was an issue with his wife being un-patriotic. She said something in an interview about how this is the first time in 10 years that she felt proud to be an American which implies for the last 10 years she was ashamed of her country. She was speaking specifically about how proud she was to see a black candidate.

There was an issue with how he's the only candidate that does not wear an American Flag pin.
