I saw this John McCain ad today, which associated Barack Obama with Hollywood drug abusers and degenerates Brittney Spears and Paris Hilton:
It didn't take long for the Republican fear machine to get into high gear for the 2008 presidential election. It's ironic that a man like McCain, who deserted his crippled, wheelchair-bound wife Carol to marry his mistress, would claim the moral high-ground in what is often referred to as the Culture War. As if his behavior toward Carol McCain wasn't enough, there are also indications that McCain cheated on his 2nd wife (home-wrecker and drug abuser Cindy) by spending 'quality time' with lobbyist Vicki Iseman. If Obama doesn't sling mud back at these hypocritical attacks, he could very well lose the election. Obama has a history of being a responsible, monogamous family man, and he seems to be last person deserving of such attacks. Does the current Republican leadership have any justification for taking the moral high ground in the Culture War? What would you do if you were an Obama campaign strategist after seeing such an ad?
