The presidential election is just days away and everything is a talking point. With one campaign thoroughly entrenched in desperation tactics and another engaged in maintaining a widening lead, the rhetoric has been decidedly one-sided over the last few months.
Most recently, the favorite and most convenient issue the
McCain-Palin campaign has vanguarded has been
Barack Obama 's connection to former domestic terrorist William Ayers. His alleged association continues to be brought up despite evidence to the contrary. The irony is that the Ayers topic continues to trudge along while McCain's friendship with G. Gordon Liddy is treated as an afterthought by his campaign as well as the media.
Earlier in the campaign season, a more effective attack on Obama was his connection to Jeremiah Wright, which was fairly substantial. Of course, with economic issues so prominent on the American mind, those sub-issues have become less relevant.
So with time winding down in a bitter election, the McCain-Palin ticket are going to ride their scare tactics until the wheels falls off; whether that be Joe the Plumber, Bill Ayers, or Ashley Todd. The question is where do you draw the line on the connection game when you have people at your own rallies shouting everything from "terrorist" to "kill him" to the n-word.
Where's the repudiation or apology from McCain or Palin? More than anything this shows the triviality of holding candidates responsible for other people's actions when there's no accountability within your own campaign.
