I’m no fan of McCain and although I’m a registered Republican, he won’t be getting my vote come election day. Instead I’ll be casting my ballot for Bob Barr, in disgust at the direction the Republican Party is heading in. That being said there are some things that should have all people regardless of political affiliation shaking their heads. In Obama’s newest ad, seen below, he takes aim at some of McCain’s deficiencies; can’t use a computer, can’t send an email, doesn’t understand the economy and wants 200 billion in new tax cuts for corporations.
Now, I completely agree that McCain doesn’t understand the economy, and his tax cut ideas leave a bit to be desired, but there’s a history lesson to be learned on McCain’s computer “illiteracy.” After five years of torture (which does not make a person more qualified to be President) he lacks the ability to type, and cannot use a mouse without experiencing extreme pain. The ad outright lies in saying that he doesn’t know how to use a computer, because he can with assistance and has a handful of favorite news sites he goes to often, along with his daughter’s blog.
The Obama Campaign left out of their ad that he also can’t comb his hair, tie his shoes, or raise his hands above his head, come on McCain get with the times.
Obama says he wants a campaign that doesn’t sink to mud slinging, but I’m just not seeing it.
I think you’re being a bit of a sensationalist. I have searched and failed to find evidence to substantiate your claim that “after five years of torture he lacks the ability to type, and cannot use a mouse without experiencing extreme pain.” I would be very interested if you can substantiate this claim. I did however find a response to your claim, “Yes, McCain Can Use Electronics” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/12/yes-mccain-can-use-electr_n_126130.html
I think you are also forgetting John McCain’s recent dirty tactics. For example, claiming that Obama supports sex education for kindergardener’s when in fact if was funding for schools to teach good touch/bad touch stuff (ie “Only doctors should touch you in your swim suit areas”, etc). His claim of “comprehensive sex education” was a downright lie.
Also on a side note, you said you wanted on polite well reasoned pro-evolution response to your “The Lack of Science in Evolution” and I provided one, I would still like to hear your response to it.
