Reply #7: Is It Just A Coincidence That Bush/McCain Get A Free Pass?

[Median Democrat]

You would think that since we are mired in the mortgage crisis that the newspapers would examine McCain's role as a member of the Keating five. Perhaps the fact that McCain abaondoned his first wife, a former model, after she was disfigured in an accident. Or, what about McCain's admission that the war was about oil?

Of course, if Hillary was leading, then the networks would be running Hillary's baking cookies comment 24/7.

Remember, if fear is the enemy of reason as Gore noted in his book, then the corrollary is that reason and logic can be overcome by fear. Otherwise, there is no reason why McCain should be competitive with either Hillary or Obama.
