Rovian fearmongering....if it helps McCain to lose an election instead of eking out the usual 50.x% win, I will be a happy camper. Funny thing was my phone number in VA ended up associated with my Mom's old address in Collin County, TX, even though she doesn't live there any more. Had a call from a Collin County Republican guy the other night. I was surprised they even bothered since McCain is up 16 points in the state. Haven't had a single call for McCain here in VA where it matters most.

John this is disgusting. Shows you the character of McCain. He is real loser now. I copied and posted it to all my friends... Even the Republicans. You should post this to your friend Bill L. He allows you access to his thread. I just hate lies like this.

>>Okay, to recap: We now have three McCain robocalls, at least two of which are being pumped into multiple battleground states. One questions Obama's patriotism, charging he put "Hollywood above America." The second says that Obama and Dems "aren't who you think they are" and says they merely "say" they want to keep us safe.<< John - I find it completely bizarre that a campaign would accuse an opponent of not wanting to keep the country safe. I mean, does it make any sense at all to think that someone would want to occupy a White House that was under attack from terrorists every day? Last night, McCain complained about three Obama ads, saying they were "attacks." But the three ads he mentioned were all about McCain's policies. The McCain camp is making scurrilous and ridiculous claims about Obama's character. There's a big difference. The McCain strategy for the next 18 days is clear. Go nasty in a big way. Use fear as a weapon. Never mind what's true. The Straight Talk Express is plunging into a ditch. I hope these cowardly attacks backfire in a big way. - Allen
