But if everyone gave their full attention to campaigns and thought seriously about everything said, I doubt television campaigning would work at all, let alone be the primary method of campaigning. It is deceptive. Especially when you compare the tenor of McCain's campaign to Bush's in 2000. You can disagree with McCain on policy (regulation, immigration), but it's hard to deny that he ran the more dignified campaign in the 2000 primary.

These career politicians of the Senate(read out-of-touch elitists more determined to get along with one another than to take principled stands on the issues) need not apply! Anything that stops or thwarts McCain from thinking that the grassroots GOP is going to support him is a good thing. He lost that when he traded away our Constitutional rights for CFR and he affirmed his RINO status when he suggested we were "unpatriotic" for not joining him in demanding amnesty for all the illegal criminals that currently infest our society.

Remember it well, and that one ad did a lot to turn me against him then. Let's try this one on for size: McVain supported not one, but two amnesty bills while viciously attacking the opponents thereof. As a result he got killed in the polls ... and then changed his position, saying "he's learned his lesson". Clinton-like poll following, anyone? Ah yes, McVain’s comparing of Bush to Clinton in 2000.
