Not big enough for the moment
With the personal attacks on Obama becoming the main theme now for McCain and Palin the conservative writer Peggy Noonan on MSNBC stated, "It's not big enough for the moment." They are not talking about the issues that will impact the new century but rather focus on the smallness of prejudice against Barack Obama. They are not big enough for the moment and I hope the American people do not miss the moment with the politics of distraction and ignorance.
"I'm of two minds about how to deal with the McCain campaign's further descent into ugliness. Their strategy is simple: you throw crap against a wall and then giggle as the media try to analyze the putresence in a way that conveys a sense of balance...It is appropriate that the prime vessel for this assault is Sarah Palin, whose very presence on a national ticket is an insult to your intelligence. She now has "credibility," we are told, because she managed to read talking points off notecards in the debate last week with unwitting enthusiasm...In any case, this is rather rich coming from Palin, who is married to a man who belonged to a political party--the Alaskan Independence Party--that wanted to secede from the union...some of the nuttiness that passes for godliness in Palin's religious life... what a desperate empty embarrassment the McCain campaign has become."
