Ashley proves McCain is unfit

[Mz Pip]

Look at how fast McCain and Palin jumped on Ashley's story. They didn't bother to wait for the facts. They didn't bother to take a deep breath and wait for an investigation. They took her bs at face value and made every attempt to play it to their advantage.

They even let the media know they called her to wish her well (and give themselves a few more points they thought).

Do we really need another president who can't wait for all the facts to come out before they respond. Haven't we had enough of this quick draw type of mentality?

1. To be fair, Obama called his campaign volunteer who was attacked.

My issue is those folks on the right who pushed this "story" so hard in the press.

4. Was the Obama supporter's

story so bizarre and racially tinged? That's what bothers me about this. It was so off the wall that it merited a rational approach to determine all the facts. They didn't wait.

2. No. She proves his supporters are the real crazies.

PALIN proves that McCain is unfit.

3. I think on the scale of why McCain is unfit, this is pretty far down

Unless he orchestrated it all--what did the candidate know and when did he know it? :rofl:

Still, it was pretty funny to see them try desperately to make some political hay from this ...

5. I agree

but his response really reinforces it IMHO.

6. Nice spin! I'd understate it a little more though. That way people can put it

together for themselves, which is much more effective.

How about, 'Ashley proves McCain is out of step, out of ideas, and out of time.'
