Looks like the media has started to call these issues what they really are

Manufactured Controversy


McCain used the Lipstick saying talking about Hillary...
they are losing ground by looking so petty

    It's irritating that they keep talking and talking and talking about it on cable news (yes, I watch it...yes, I know it sucks), but at least they seem to be starting to call it what it is, and they *are* talking about the fact that McCain has used the same line while talking about Hillary.

    It's amazing to watch these stories (which are bullshit to begin with) evolve as the day goes on.

    I wish I could agree with you ... they *were* losing ground ... but, they made it a coin flip now.

    They have succesfully (for their camp) taken the focus of this election off the issues, and onto moral rightiousness and pandering to women with no real meat behind their bluster.

    If it were stight on the issues, we know who would have won ... and so did the McCain campaign. So, they inject their campaign with the religious right ... toss in some sexism charges ... and boom ... it's a 50-50 split, now it's a race down the stretch.

    every newsday taken up by anything palin related is a victory more mccain. don't kid yourself.

    There's a reason he's up 10 points among those most likely to vote, and it's her.

    I don't know - the snarky factor is getting weirder - that story McCain put out yesterday that Obama wants kindergartners to learn sex ed and the lipstick thing - it smells like desperation (and Karl Rove). Not that I'm saying Obama is running away with this, but I agree - tactics like this can backfire.

    Moreover, she has atleast a ten point lead on Obama in approval/popularity. Concentrating on her is not helping him. And when it comes off as if it may be a degrading remark, it hurts him because most people are siding with her right now.

    Let's face it folks. She is not Hillary. Hillary does slightly resemble a pig. She does not. She resembles a MILF.

    Wow. And the reason I'd vote for somebody is because they're a MILF. This country is in the toilet.

    And if I don't vote for Obama, I'm racist! That's not fucked up, that's the truth.

    I pledge to you a government that will not only work well, but wisely, its ability to act tempered by prudence, and its willingness to do good, balanced by the knowledge that government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.
