Smelling a rat
By VictorM:So a right wing radio host says some nasty things about Barack Obama, and after it, John "Bush's 3rd term" McCain says:
"I take responsibility and I repudiate what he said," McCain gamely said. "I will not tolerate anything in this campaign that denigrates either Sen. Obama or Sen. (Hillary) Clinton.''
McCain's comes across as taking the high road. But I have to ask: why didn't the Republican senator repudiate the person who called Hillary Clinton a "bitch" a while back?
The answer is obvious: when McCain was contesting the Republican primary, coming across as uncaring towards Hillary served his purposes to attract core Republican votes but now that he's in general election mode, he wants to come across as a uniter.
Bottom line: McCain's latest statements are pure political grandstanding and the radio host was used to accomplished that purpose. After all, as this poster said:
If McCain is willing to vote for torture, and let his campaign be run by K-street lobbyists in order to become President, what's screwing over some small time radio host in comparrison? (sic)
