Enough is Enough !!

McCain is running a "Rovian" campaign as of late - and it's obvious and showing. It's the kind of politics that the American public is so sick of.
The campaign is running negative 'swift boat' ads and calling Obama's "lipstick on a pig" comment an insulting swipe at Sarah Palin.
As much as they'd like to make it into that, and they certainly are doing a great job of spinning, it just isn't so! In FACT - Palin wasn't even mentioned in Obama's speech! He was referring directly to McCain's campaign positions on the ISSUES when he made the well known comment.
Here's the context:

"John McCain says he's about change too, and so I guess his whole angle is, 'Watch out George Bush -- except for economic policy, health care policy, tax policy, education policy, foreign policy and Karl Rove-style politics -- we're really going to shake things up in Washington'
That's not change. That's just calling ... the same thing something different. You know you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig. You know you can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change, it's still going to stink after eight years. We've had enough of the same old thing."



How do we return to making this campaign about the issues? It will take people standing up and insisting that the media to drop the 'political rhetoric' as their top story every night and instead ask 'What about those policies he mentioned?'

Here's someone else who's fed up with it too:
