Dear Mr. Kimble,
After the Dem convention, McCain ran an ad saying “Congratulations”. The very next day, after he announced his VP choice, the Obama camps’ first comment was not “Congratulations”, it was a nasty remark about her qualifications. Is is the place of the Dems’ to vet and qualify the GOP choice? And for 3 days, the moonbats were saying disgusting things about Mrs. Palin and Bristol. Sen. Obama could have squelched that. Don’t think for one minute his robots didn’t fan the flames and let it go unchecked. Only after Mrs. Palin was forced to admit to Bristols pregnancy, and the subsequent additional 3 day media feeding frenzie, did Sen. Obama say “Families are off limits”. That was equivolent to saying “use a fire extinguisher” on the ashes of Joan of Arc.
They are still looking for dirt and discredit, stalking Mrs. Palins 11 year old nephew for family filth. Obama is the one who set himself up as a new and different kind of politican. He was the one who said he was better and above the mud and dirt and fray.
So don’t be saying the McCain shouldn’t use every dart or dagger gifted to him by Mr. Obama now.
Sorry but he didn’t earn a pass. He could have acted like a gentleman at any time and didn’t. He could have shown some class but didn’t.
Frankly, Americans aren’t stupid. They saw what went on last week and they are gleeful that he is getting knocked off his pedestle this week.
Next week, we’ll see what ugliness happens but for now, don’t apolgize on my behalf. As a woman, the statement needed the correct response and McCain camp is exposing the hypocrisy of Mr. Obama.
