I almost couldn't believe my ears when I heard it, but on the most recent edition of Fox News Sunday Karl Rove said in so many words that Mccain went too far in his campaign ads. "[They] do not pass the 100-percent truth test," were Rove's words. He also made clear that it was not necessary for the campaigns to attack one another in the manner that they are currently. "They have legitimate points to make about each other," said Rove.
Although Mccain's ads have been deemed more severe and some even complete fabrications of the truth, Obama has engaged in similar tactics by attacking Mccain's age rather than his issues. Their ads seem to be escalating as they attempt to one-up each other's personal attacks. It is the responsibility of the media to chastise this form of campaigning until both camps move away from their no-holds-barred cahracter assaults and get back to the serious issues our country must address immediately! Why have we not yet seen any advertisements or statements involving global warming? For all I know both camps have bought into the Palin stance that global warming is not human-made and is therefore out of our hands... SOMEBODY BRING IT UP.
