John McCain's unprecedentedly ugly speech today

The increasingly petty and ugly attacks on Barack Obama by a desperate, dying movement are a microcosm of the last eight years.

    How come McCain couldn't solve the Anthrax Attack, when it came from his fanatical pro-life contingency?

    John McCain is clearly presenting himself as an expert on domestic terrorism. He is saying that knows exactly what happened in the Viet Nam era weather underground while he was a prisoner in Hanoi.

    And yet with all his expertise and unparalleled insight, he was unable to see that the motive for the Anthrax attacks by Bruce Ivins on two Democaratic senators was because they were Catholics who were pro-choice. How did he know that he would not be attacked with anthrax? During the Presidential campaign of 2000, McCain was seen by his own party as weak on the abortion issue, which by their logic, would be unforgivable because he was a Catholic, and actively used the Catholic base as a political support prop. In fact, being a Republican, pro-choice candidate would be even a bigger hippocracy than being a Democratic pro-choice candidiate. McCain was clearly never concerned about terrorism against himself, or anyone else until Obama came along, who, by the way, never had his own anthrax laboratory.

    How come our terrorism expert McCain oouldn't find the Catholic anti-Catholic Pro-Life terrorist in the military's own anthrax laboratory? ( in Frederick Md. )

    Is it fair to question McCain about his knowledge on the anthrax case?

    IT IS NOW, HE HAS MADE IT HIS ISSUE,
