McCain defends Obama's character to fellow Republicans.

Before this election season, I used to think McCain was a decent fellow. He fought for his country and stands up for what he believes in no matter what anyone says. I admire that, despite the fact that I do not agree with his policies. However, he has become a very ugly person during this campaign, and I am not talking about his looks. The countless personal baseless attacks on Obama, that keep on being repeated by McCain and Palin despite the fact that they have been proven wrong......for example, he will not raise taxes on the middle class (unless you define the middle class as making over 250,000 a year). He is not muslim. He does not pal around with terrorists and he barely knows Bill Ayers.

McCain is starting to show that he does not like the tone of his campaign and it is a little too late. In recent town hall forums with Republicans, he's had to correct his own supporters from misinformation his own party has provided them with, over and over again, through the rumor mill. http://open.salon.com/content.php?cid=27888.

Where McCain went wrong is to have the same political strategists as George Bush, the same ones who started the unethical swift boat attacks against John Kerry, directing his campaign. I believe he himself criticized the swift boat attacks, yet he signed on with them if they could work their wonders to place him in the oval office. Slimy.
