The Cost of Respect
Ah, Election Year...Poli-twiging roung the clock...McCain actually says to a crowd of supporters that he respects Obama...Says voters don't have to be afraid of an Obama presidency (I would have added, "Not with me running against him.")...and his supporters boo...someone calls him a traitor...Whut tha Twigi?
You know, when did respect for an opponent become a bad thing? My vote is still up for sale, but McCain went up a notch with this comment. Now, I'm sure plenty of McCain opponents are saying that it's just a line, but it's got a strand of truth to it...not necessarily McCain truth, because if it's just a line, then it's not truth, but a universal truth...Politics shouldn't be personal and it shouldn't be disrespectful...it should be opinions and respectful discourse.

Watching these videos, you start to get the feeling that even McCain might be starting to wonder, “What kind of monster have I created?” I wonder if McCain, when he is alone and being reflective, asks himself, “Are these people really supporting me because I have good policies, or because they’re racists, bigots, terrified because I have made them terrified because of what I’ve allowed to be said about Obama on my behalf, etc.” I wonder if deep down McCain isn’t just a bit saddened by what his supporters are doing and saying. http://straighttalkonmccain.blogspot.com/
