Is there an email address or form where I can reach out to the McCain campaign?

I'd like to send them a brief note that basically says my politics lean in their direction (I'm a Libertarian), but they've lost my vote and I'm going to be actively campaigning against them, 100% as a result of their dishonest, distracting, and insulting campaigning methods.

It seems like she's saying that she didn't support the bridge to nowhere as much as she supported a connection to nowhere. It's almost existential.

Not sure if they'll read it, but that's an option. The strongest voice you have is your vote after all, but ya never know.

HOLY SHIT! Obama just went Nuclear against McCain. ITS ON BABY!!!


http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/12/obama-camp-steps-up-attac_n_126014.html

"Today on "The View," John McCain defended his campaign's latest ad campaign, which has been debunked repeatedly as both false and sleazy. In running the sleaziest campaign since South Carolina in 2000 and standing by completely debunked lies on national television, it's clear that John McCain would rather lose his integrity than lose an election."

"The McCain campaign's lies make it clear that John McCain would rather lose his integrity than lose this election. The fact is, John McCain has voted for millions in earmarks and his running mate has requested more pork per person than any governor in America -- including $2 million to study the mating patterns of crabs. Barack Obama has stood up to the lobbyists and corruption in Washington, and will bring real change that puts middle-class families first,"

they are fucking going after McCain's Honor! they are going all out!

I love the "she kept the money!" canard. Of course she did.

Whether Alaska was going to recieve the funds or not was never the issue. The specific earmark was stripped by Congress but Alaska was free to spend the money however they pleased. Which means she was still free to throw it all at the bridge.

No. But it'll only take me a couple minutes to write, and I'll feel good knowing that someone over there (probably) read it.

Guys... that's not going nuclear.

That's attacking based on truth.

Going nuclear would be "Your wife stole medication from people that needed it to feed her habit, while you covered it up as best you could."

This line of attack should keep his "new" creds while attacking McCain at his strength.

To Whom it may concern -

My personal politics lean right, but I wanted to send the McCain campaign a brief note letting you know that you have lost my vote.

I'm going to be actively campaigning against McCain-Palin entirely as a result of your dishonest, distracting, and insulting campaigning methods.

I don't love Obama's policies, but I feel you forced me to make this choice... your campaign has been far too lacking in integrity for me to support you.

My only concern is that honor is such a vague term and I bet the McCain campaign will try and spin it to make it sound like Obama is attacking McCain's 'service to his country'. They are adept at taking things out of context. It was obvious that Obama was talking about the economy with his lipstick remark, that didn't stop the McCain campaign from turning it into an attack on Palin. The news media won't report the facts Obama uses in his attack, the juicy soundbyte will be him attacking McCain's 'honor' which can be spun into any number of things.

Run with the crabs part. Its a perfect compliment to talking about Earmarks, it just exacerbates the absurdity of her change platform even more. I would love to see her defend the need for millions of dollars to study crabs mating.

He's more of a libertarian, he wasn't getting 4 years of policies he agrees with no matter what.

Plus, maybe this'll fix the party for the future.

That's not usually how it works. Transportation earmarks are typically over-and-above normal state transportation appropriations.

It's hard to pin down McCain's policies as he keeps going back on things on a regular basis. He's a paradoxical candidate if I ever saw one.

they should also juxtapose that to mccain saying how wasteful californians were in spending money on studying bear DNA, and not knowing if that was a criminal issue or a paternal issue.

Plus, I think you can intuit something about what kind of a president these guys will be based on their campaigns. The way Obama was conducting his campaign was what first made me start paying attention to him: grass roots organizing, cutting ties with lobbyists and PACs and and a hard focus on the issues. McCain's campaign has been one of lies, distractions and misdirection. One inspires me to think he will be a great leader, one makes me think he's a habitual liar who will do anything to achieve power.

Great quote. Actually gave me chills, and while I don't think Obama should lose it Bruce Banner-style and be angry all the time, I've been really waiting for him to fire back, while still focusing on what got him to where he's currently at. I watched that Palin interview and facepalmed so many times. My wife was furious and is just about done with this election.

BTW, the more I hear and read about Biden, the more I just love this guy. All his mistakes actually work for him, not against him, and his recoveries/corrections crack me up. It's amazing, and man, I'm riveted when I listen to him speak.
