Gross Lack of Judgement

The continued antics of the McCain campaign to assassinate the character of Barack Obama by making charges of collusion between Obama and former radical William Ayers simply demonstrates the gross lack of judgement of John McCain and his totally unqualified running mate, Sarah Palin. The line was crossed at several recent rallies in Florida where a sheriff in uniform opened the event referring to Senator Obama as "Barack Husein Obama" followed by Palin using inflammatory rhetoric inciting the crowd to chant "terrorist" and "kill him." The sheriff is now being investigated for using his office to influence a political election, but even more disheartening, no despicable, is the knowledge that a law enforcement officer is participating in activities to incite a riot. This is illegal and a violation of federal law. I hope this sheriff will get some time to contemplate his actions sitting in his own jail cell. While all these smear tactics are being used,the country is embroiled in the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. McCain and Palin don't have a clue.

What all this really demonstrates is the total lack of judgement and character of those who are initiating these assaults. Despite his protests about using these trash tactics, apparently McCain can't even control his own running mate. She apparently is either too stupid to take his lead or more likely a wacko who is an extremist in her own right. As a minimum she has no compunction about lying about either her own background and her credentials or those of her opponents. This alone is enough to disqualify her as a potential "Commander in Chief" even if she were otherwise qualified, which she is most certainly not.

We have seen this movie before. W and his cohorts led by Carl Rove employed similar tactics against none other than John McCain himself in the 2000 election. They alleged that he had fathered a black child out of wedlock when in fact McCain and his wife had adopted a child from India. How dare he turns around and now uses the same tactics against his opponent while trying to convince us that he is a man of honor, integrity, good judgement. No sir, this is a gross lack of judgment and in my view, he has disqualified himself from being the next president. We don't need another president like W who has sanctioned breaking the law, misleading the public, and allowing special interests to rip off the taxpayer. Let's think about America First on November 4th.
