OK, you made valid points. I don’t know many people who will actually be voting for John McCain and are completely happy with the decision, though; I’m certainly not. Vast swaths of Obama’s supporters, by contrast, seem only to care that he’ll change the country. (Which begs the related question, “Into what?”)
All in all, this seems to me like a rather feeble “Well, both sides do it” refutation — which isn’t a refutation at all. Opposing political ideologies will always fight each other — that’s why they’re opposites. Comparing the methods they use to do so is important, but it’s more important (especially now) to look at what they’re fighting about and debate that.
