TPM's Election Week Theme Song:

Apologies for being so earnest about this. But the fact that McCain lied to the American people nonstop for months on end, in the firm belief that he could get away with it because the American people would be too stupid to know the difference, is, perversely, one for the history books. Let's not let the amnesia kick in when the inevitable effort to rehabilitate McCain's reputation and honor gets underway after this campaign is over.

Greg, love - please please get earnest! I'm so sick of cynicism, right, left middle - I'm sick of it. That's how we get to a place where an entire campaign is based on nothing but lies and slime and innuendo and guilt by assocation -

Please Liberals - I'm begging you - and some of you should know who you are - get over yourselves and allow yourself to be slightly less sophisticated than you think you have to be all the damn time.

:)

Sarah Palin has not released her medical records yet. What is she hiding??

Being earnest is a good quality and requires no apologies.
As for rehabilitation -- I almost choked when various politicians went on and on about "elder statesman" Richard Nixon. While it's true that compared to George W. Bush, Nixon doesn't seem as bad, he was pretty terrible. He had absolutely no morals or integrity and left the office of the president in total shame. But years go by and suddenly everyone's memories get selectively erased.
I will not forget McCain's perfidy in this election and his total lack of honor.

Worried about Tuesday? Read this diary from over at Kos regarding Obama's Pennsylvania Ground Game -

A little OT, but it's about McCain going back on his word about staying away from Rev. Wright--there are Republican affiliate organizations running Rev. Wright commercials, as was mentioned here before, it's a national ad buy.

I know those spots are running here in NYC, just saw a few on the morning cable news shows.

So has McCain given up that last bit of honor he had left by letting allowing this stuff to go on?

Greg, it's worse than that. McCain, Palin, and their teevee surrogates all keep citing Biden's comment and any other mention of any income level at all as proof that Obama keeps pushing down the level he'll raise taxes on -- so not only are they saying he'll raise "your" taxes, but they're saying he's shifty and untrustworthy. Take the tag line on their recent tax ad: "just as you suspected..." (Not to mention the ginning-up of the racial aspect -- "he'll make the IRS another welfare agency", "take your money" and give it to those who "didn't earn it"...) Of course, Obama's plan has never changed, and he's never misrepresented it.

And as for your apology, on the contrary: the only apology you'll owe us is the one we'll demand if you guys don't make blocking the McCain reclamation project a top priority. I'm waiting for McCain's own post-election apology tour, modeled after the post-Keating and post-Confederate-flag editions; we have to make sure the Joe Kleins of the world remember their justified disillusionment with the ugly shell of a man formerly known as The Maverick, and say "Not. This. Time."

Do you think it's wrong to lie?

Then be sure to vote your values.

I nominate Joe Lieberman for this campaign's " Forrest Gump Award". He is priceless in his inanimate presence behind John McCain on stage .Runner up is Lindsay Graham.
