Michael, <<the manipulation and propping up of candidates falls far heavier toward McCain>> I just totally disagree with you. McCain earned whatever attention from the press he's gotten by his merits and force of personality, i.e., leadership potential. Of course if you think the press is just one huge organ of liberal conspiracy then we aren't going to get anywhere. Holy cow! You wanna tell me that the $60 million dollar lightweight is not propped up and manipulated?!?!?!?!? DING A LING A LING! You wake up my friend! :o) <<McCain's disgusting attempt to play one religion against another, and one race against another.>> I don't defend McCain on this score, this red-herring, but it is so amazing how you fellows never once acknowledge Bush's absolutely disgusting cut throat smear campaign in South Carolina that started all of this. Never once. Your professed moral outrage and shock is so laughably selective. And as far as making invidious religious and racial distinctions, McCain can't hold a candle to Bush's bedmates, Robertson and B. Jones. Again you turn a blind eye to what you don't want to see. << Not to mention their ability to see through his hypocrisy with regard to campaign finance reform>> Again, I totally disagree on the hypocrisy charge--another transparent Bush campaign distortion--it's your blind eye to the influence peddling McCain wants sincerely to reform that will ultimately leave you frustrated with government, forever complaining, and forever blaming the boogey-man left when it is the moneyed establishment system on both sides of the isle that is the culprit.
