    McCains Closet is Full of Skeletons

    What I do not understand is why no one on the Obama side is sending emails that simply tell the truth about John McCain. The man has a a scandalous past and present and never do a I see anything on the Obama website or elsewhere remotely criticizing McCain.

    There is very little at this point that would cause me to sit home or vote Republican. I will vote ofr Barack Obama in November. My concern is that a year of negative and misleading emails, campaign speeches, etc by Hillary Clinton and John McCain will take a toll. It is not enough to say that these are lies. Obama must go on the offensive, not with lies but the truth about John and Cindy McCain. These are nasty corrupt people with very scandalous pasts. From adultery, drug addiction and drug trafficking, military insubordination, whore mongering, corruption, and bigotry, to religious fraud and elitism, the McCain's true boigraphies offer a treasure trove of real true facts that would be devastating if laid before the public. McCain's honor and hero biography is a sham made up out of whole cloth. Very little of his biography can be backed up with the facts.

    If Obama does not have the stomach to tell the truth about McCain, he is by default telling people McCain is a good guy and voting for him is okay. THAT IS THE BIGGEST LIE OF ALL!
