He’s behind in the polls. He’s at the last debate. He thinks he can win by being a nice guy who’s behind. If McCain loses this election it will be because he’s unwilling to go negative and go on the attack.
Here are the points of attack McCain could have used:
- Obama is tied into ACORN, which is a corrupt, voter-fraud-supporting organization.
- Obama is the most liberal Senator in Congress.
- Obama is the most wildly pro-abortion person in Congress.
- Obama has ties to admitted terrorist bomber Bill Ayers.
- Obama fundamentally believes in re-distributing wealth (the Joe the Plumber story).
- Obama is anti-gun.
- Obama is the second-biggest recipient of campaign contributions from Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac.
Instead of making these points McCain decided to be Mr. Nice Guy and smirk a bunch. If McCain wins it won’t be because he fought his hardest. It will be because McCain assumed someone else would do his fighting for him.
