If one guy is telling the truth and the other guy is lying, then making it look like it is all lies lets the real liar get away with telling the Big Lie that we have lived with for eight long years.
The reason Karl Rove has come out about McCain’s lies is because he sees the American people are recognizing the lack of truth in McCain’s campaign commercials so he is trying to create a general air of cynicyism to tarnish Obama with the same brush. Cynicism benefits the Repubican party because things are going badly and optimism that anything can really change benefits the Democratic Party. The truth benefits Obama, so therefore the effort to cast both candidates as sloganeers covers up McCain’s falsehoods. Falsehood is all McCain has, it is best for the public not to observe the contrast. By asserting that both candidates are stating falsehoods, it obscures Obamas truth telling and excuses Mccain’s lying, even about his health.
We really need to see McCain’s heath records including his recent melanoma scare because a vote for the Republican ticket may be a vote for Palin as president. Now is the time to really agitate for those health records. McCain may be ushering Palin into the big chair as his legacy to the unwilling American people. The vice presidential slot has never been more important because we have never had a guy this old and infirm running for the presidency. People really need to think when they cast their vote because they may have Sarah Palin trying to run the free world and that is a very big job.
