'The Low Road'

Lorraine -- A few hours ago John McCain, the same man who just months ago promised to run a "respectful campaign," said he is "proud" of his latest attack ad. That's the one attacking your enthusiasm, comparing me to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, and making false claims about my energy plan. Now, we're facing some serious challenges in this country -- our economy is struggling, energy costs are skyrocketing, and families don't have health care. Given the seriousness of these issues, you'd think we'd be having a serious debate. But instead, John McCain is running an expensive, negative campaign against us. Each day brings a desperate new set of attacks. And they're not just attacking me. They're attacking you. They're mocking the desire of millions of Americans to step up and take ownership of the political process. They're trying to convince you that your enthusiasm won't amount to anything -- that the people you persuade, the phone calls you make, the donations you give, the doors you knock on are all an illusion. They believe that in this election the same old smears and negative attacks will prevail again. They're wrong.

Thank you,

Barack

You know, this is a very valid point that Barack has made. If we get excited about a candidate, McCain is actually saying we are deluding ourselves.

I am so sick of McCain saying that Barack is a Elitist! Especially since he lives the life of a Billionaire, buys $500.00 shoes, lives in a Mansion and now his wife's company is buying out Cuban beer, against our embargo on Cuban products.

I had a lot of respect for McCain's service to this country, until I found out that he was critical of his first wife, because she managed to survive a serious accident and said, "She wasn't the same woman he had married." Well, her shortened legs were nothing compared to the trauma McCain's body went through, after being a prisoner of war. His arm motion was limited and he walked with a pronounced stoop.

Mccain's first wife campaigned heavily on working on getting her husband back from the Vietcong prisoner camp and stood by his side and remained faithful. Her reward? She no longer looked like the model he had married, so he started cheating on her with a super pretty Billionairess.

Two weeks after their divorce was finalized, he married Cindy, yet he lied about when he began to first started dating her and how long it was after his divorce before he married Cindy. Why? Because the real situation made him look bad and was bad for his political career, especially with the religious right of his party.

I am against his oil policy for these reasons:

• It will take years before we will see any relief, if they do will drilling rights.
• They have thousands of acres that they already have leases to, so let them start drilling in those areas.
• There is no guarantee that once they get a working oil rig to produce, that the oil will be sold to our country. It could well land up being sold to China, Japan, North Korea, Africa, etc.
