I don’t like to write about things political in this blog, but I feel the necessity write to this one entry . The McCain/Palin and campaign have been following the advice of Hitler’s propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels. Goebbels is the man credited with a savvy political strategy of telling the big lie.
In their latest political ads they have feigned outrage at Obama’s criticism of McCain’s proposals in which he said the “lipstick on a pig”. It is obvious that Obama was referring strictly to McCain’s weak proposals for “change” but in a cynical bid for votes, the McCain people have pretended to believe that Obama was referring to Gov. Palin. They know better! They know what they’re saying is a fraud and a lie, but they have been engaged in political vote pandering for such a long time that they refuse to do the honorable thing and tell the truth.
The situation is nauseating, and it is destroying the fabric of American life. Because their strategies seem to be working, they see no need to inject integrity, decency, or truth telling. They are doing what is expedient. They will do anything for votes.
Obama is trying to counter act their sleaze by issuing denials in the form of emphatic statements about his intentions and is also adding words about his determination not to be a swift boated. It is unclear whether Americans are awake enough to understand what is being done to them. If they don’t understand that the battle is lost.
We’ll know more on November 5.
I’m doing this by dictation and seeing if I can get it to publish.
