Dirty with a capital D

I am so sick of the negative campaigning from both sides, but it seems in these last three weeks before election day, John McCain's campaign and the Republican Committee have really been pulling out all the stops. Not only have there been an abundance of new negative ads circulating through the media, but now these nasty robo calls, and we received a brochure yesterday that made me a little sick. I have to laugh at John McCain's comment in the last debate about Obama having spent the most money on negative campaigning in history.....hmmmm CNN may want to fact check that one. Anyway the brochure we received from the Colorado Republican Committee was appalling. It was all about William Ayers and his "close" friendship with Barack Obama. It included quotes from Ayers about not regretting setting the bombs, next to a picture of Obama. It was absolutely ridiculous and I would hope that anyone who sees that would have the common sense to see the absurdity and the nasty game the republican committee puts on during elections, unfortunately there are still people ignorant enough to look at that and believe every word.....

I'm so incredibly ready for this election to be over. It has been such a nasty one and these last efforts by the Republicans are really putting it over the edge for me.

Yeah he was born in another country. Actually, this campaign has not been that negative- 2004 was more negative
