The Media is going to cost us this election

John McCain runs an ad completely distorting Obama’s vote on sex education for children and the media runs the news with the headline “Obama aide questions John McCain’s honour“. Are you freaking kidding me? Have they completely lost their mind? How about saying what is true “John McCain has sold his soul to win this election” or ”John McCain takes a chapter from George Bush’s book”. The same Karl Rovian tactics that brought down John McCain’s campaign in South Carolina in 2000 are now being used by John McCain himself against Barack Obama.

When will the media start playing an impartial role and start reporting the news based on its merits. When they are not completely fawning over Barack Obama, they are reporting half truths and lies about the other campaign.

After going for months how he would run a clean campaign and how he is different from George Bush, McCain has even stopped keeping up the pretenses. He is milking his POW status, everytime he opens his mouth and now with Sarah Palin on the ticket any kind of criticism is either questioning his patriotism or being sexist.

The Senator should hope that Sarah Palin will deliver him the Presidency, because, the way he has run his campaign, he has completely lost respect among independent minded people. I not only question his honour, I also question his judgement.

This is the same John McCain who introduced an immigration reform bill but then buckled under pressure from the right wing of his party. He wants to lead the country but only wants to listen to right wing.

This is the same John McCain who wanted to reform the electoral process but now has the same people run his campaign that he tried to shut down in 2000.

This is the same John McCain who wants to do something about climate change but then goes out and selects as VP, somebody who questions whether human beings are even responsible for climate change.

This is the same John McCain who wants America to have a comprehensive energy policy, but the only policy he can come up with is the slogan “Drill, baby drill”. Let me ask the Senator – Would this oil production be controlled by the government i.e nationalised or be sold on the free market? If it goes on the free market how on earth does this solve our energy needs, as whoever pays the highest price gets the oil, which is no different from what we have today. This does nothing to alleviate our energy needs as it is no different from what we have today. You can increase the supply of oil all you want, all it does is increase the demand for oil. Like I wrote earlier drilling in ANWR only means cheaper oil for the Chinese.

Senator do you really take us for fuckin’ fools?
