The most tenuous association with a Vietnam war activist was taken and used to try and slander Obama. Why? For a few lousy votes! But, like most things in the world. Eventually the slanderous statements made by McCain/Palin came back and landed on them in a big way. Because most American's weren't interested in their lies to win the election. They were more interested in the sad state of this country after 8 years of Bush. More worried about the prospect of another 4 years at least of the same failed policies that got us in this mess. It's going to be difficult for the Republican Party to undo the harm it's done itself with continued tactic's like this! Because they have demonized themselves in the minds of a lot of American's!
