    McStain Campaign!

    It is The Ugly.

    The problem for us -- The American People -- is that so few know what to do about it.

    -- Ché Pasa

    You can be arrested in mass numbers for the crime of hanging around on the grass in a park. (Aka, The Republican Convention). But you can yell out, "Kill Him!" at a stump speech given by the Republican Vice Presidential candidate, and you can yell out, "Terrorist!" in response to the Republican Presidential candidate asking who the Democratic Presidential candidate "really is", and you will be cheered and buttressed.
