The Choice

Here are words I never thought I'd say:

The McCain campaign really does offer us a clear choice.

You can choose to side with John McCain, who is showing all you need to know about who he is by running the dirtiest, most dishonest and lie-filled campaign of any Presidential candidate in modern American history.

Or you can choose Barack Obama, who has continued to address issues, talk directly to the voting public about the important differences between himself and Sen. McCain, and has refused to get down into the mud and go negative in the same way that McCain has done.

Here's what one Republican campaign observer had to say about McCain's mudslinging (click here for the full article on MSNBC.com):

Mr. Sipple, the Republican strategist, voiced concern that Mr. McCain’s approach could backfire. “Any campaign that is taking liberty with the truth and does it in a serial manner will end up paying for it in the end,” he said. “But it’s very unbecoming to a political figure like John McCain whose flag was planted long ago in ground that was about ‘straight talk’ and integrity.”

It's a simple choice, really - you either support McCain and his campaign that's based on lies and attacks, or you realize that Obama is the only candidate acting like a grown-up you can trust to run the country.

And in the end, I really don't think too many adults are going to choose the McCain mudslinging over Obama's high standards.

Most of us quit playing in the mud once we got out of grade school. Too bad John McCain hasn't learned that lesson.
