[Rhodes22-list] Jack Cafferty Questions Whether McCain Campaign is "Honorable"

[Ben Cittadino]

Rhodies;

Here it is. One more "right leaning" pundit sees what is there.  Is he a
sheep, folowing the herd to the slaughter? Is he a clear eyed observer,
seeing what is right before us all? Is he the MSM in the tank for Obama? Is
he constrained to call 'em as he sees 'em? You know what I think. What do
you think? Should we send a message to the disciples of Lee Atwater (before
his repentance) and Karl Rove (who has not yet repented) that the fear
mongering style of campaigning of "Willie Horton" ads and such will finally
be rejected? 

"FROM CNN’s Jack Cafferty:

John McCain said this on February 3, 2008, when talking about his run for
the White House: “We will run an honorable campaign.”

McCain made that statement in response to a question about whether his
campaign would resemble George Bush’s run for the White House in 2000, one
of the nastier campaigns on record.

With less than 2 weeks before Election Day, it’s very much an open question
whether John McCain has kept his word.

In fact, in the last few weeks John McCain has become downright nasty. It
started around the time one of his advisers said that if McCain campaigned
on the economy, he would lose. And the ugly personal attacks began. Barack
Obama’s past acquaintance with William Ayers, Barack Obama’s economic plan
is socialism, Barack Obama will say anything to get elected.

His running mate, Sarah Palin, has chimed in with such gutter-level rhetoric
as Obama pals around with terrorists.

The sudden negative tone for the man who vowed to run an honorable campaign
is not going unnoticed by the voters. A recent CNN-Opinion Research
Corporation poll found 60 percent think McCain has unfairly attacked Obama,
up from 42 percent in September.

It’s sad that an honorable man like John McCain in a desperate struggle to
avoid being embarrassed on November 4th has resorted to campaign tactics
typically associated with people who can make no legitimate claim to being
honorable."
