Pig With Lipstick

In 24 hours, John McCain has managed to bring the presidential race to the gutter.
In the last week, he has definitively demonstrated that he is absolutely not qualified to be president of the United States. He has run a campaign that has nothing but lies and distortions to stand on. He picked a totally unqualified vice presidential partner in a desparate bid to turn the race around on pure culture shock.
He has demonstrated that he will use Sarah Palin as a shield to ward off any criticism directed to him.
In the last 24 hours he tried to turn a comment directed at him into a sexist slur by contorted logic. He released a commercial so blatantly full of lies and distortions, using footage of Katie Couric that CBS demanded it be taken off the air.
He responded to Barack Obama's educational program by releasing an ad that has touched the bottom of the sewer. He tries to insinuate that Obama is a black pederast after kindergarden children.
What is apparent is that John McCain is running the sleaziest, most dishonest and race-baiting campaign of our lifetimes. So let's stopped being shocked and awed by every new example of it. It is undignified. What can we do? We've got a dangerously reckless contender for the presidency and a vice presidential candidate who distinguished her self by abuse of office even on the comparatively small political stage of Alaska. They've both embraced a level of dishonesty that disqualifies them for high office. Democrats owe it to the country to make clear who these people are. No apologies or excuses. If Democrats can say at the end of this campaign that they made clear exactly how and why these two are unfit for high office they can be satisfied they served their country.
