Losing My Lunch: McCain's Moral Entropy

McCain is using robo calls to mislead and smear Barack Obama with the ridiculous threadbare connection between Obama and Bill Ayers. Besides being repugnant, they are in some cases illegal, and in all cases hypocritical. He's using the same firm that spread lies about him in 2000, the ones that said he had fathered an illegitimate black child. Apparently, none of that bothers him.

Look at this exchage from Fox News Sunday:

WALLACE: But Senator, back — if I may, back in 2000 when you were the target of robo calls, you called these hate calls and you said...
MCCAIN: They worked.
WALLACE: ... and you said the following, "I promise you, I have never and will never have anything to do with that kind of political tactic."
Now you've hired the same guy who did the robo calls against you to — reportedly, to do the robo calls against Obama and the Republican Senator Susan Collins, the co-chair of your campaign in Maine, has asked you to stop the robo calls. Will you do that?
MCCAIN: Of course not.

So, McCain's word is negotiable at the expense of winning an election. What other conclusion can one draw from that statement? This is rank unapologetic hypocrisy. Do conservative politicians think Fox News is an island where they can say whatever the hell they want because no one with half a brain cell is listening? Because we are listening Senator McCain, and we heard you. The message is loud and clear from Palin to Ayers to Joe the Plumber to Robocalls, McCain believes Campaign first, Country second.
