The NR is hysterical about this. For every quote they and you come up with I can come up with something like this: <<He said he wasn't going to "tear down" his opponent, but his campaign literature told voters that "McCain says one thing but does another," and it distorted many of McCain's positions--charging, for example, that McCain wants to remove the pro-life plank from the G.O.P platform. That isn't true, and among religious conservatives, it was a napalm blast at McCain.>> <<Phone calls from Bush polling operations appear to have been attacks masquerading as opinion surveys--so-called push polls. These calls distorted McCain's record--exaggerating his role in the Keating Five savings and loan scandal, for example--in an attempt to push voters away from him. Though the Bush campaign claims only 300 of the calls were made in South Carolina, Bush's Michigan pollster, Fred Steeper, told Time last week that his firm had placed several thousand such calls in his state. >>
