Lieberman and McCaskill

Host of "Fox News Sunday", Chris Wallace, had two senators, Joe Lieberman and Claire McCaskill talk about the two candidates, Obama and McCain. Both senators were quick to make it clear who they were pulling for. Lieberman for McCain and McCaskill for Obama. The first topic discussed was Sarah Palings quote, "Our opponent is someone who sees America as imperfect enough to pal around with terrorists who targeted their own country." Lieberman said that it was fair game to use this information, while McCaskill said that the American people deserve better. A few political ads were run from both campaigns, one talking about McCain being erratic, and the other about Obama voting to raise taxes 94 times. Both senators took their respective positions, and showed their colors for their favorite candidate. Both of the senators thought that these personal shots that the candidates were taking at each other might be going to far. McCain personally had one ad not aired because he felt it crossed the line.

I agree with the senators that both candidates may have crossed the line with some of their personal shots. The American people, including myself, would rather hear about where the candidates stand on issues, not the McCain doesn't wear a suit to church, or that Obama forgot to pick up his cousin from school in 1986. When I view these negative ads, it just makes me like the other candidate less. It makes me feel like neither candidate has respect for the other, when both are trying so hard for a common goal. They should know what each other is going through and be as considerate as they can be. I want to hear what their economic plans are, and what they are going to do concerning taxes. If taxes are increased on small-business as Obama has proposed, then we may see a decrease in available jobs as owners won't be able to pay for more employees, and this is exactly what we don't need during this "recession". I think that McCain has the answer, taxing the rich is unfair, the people that work the hardest for their money are the most deserving. I don't think that the people that worked hard, and are reaping the benefits should pay for the lazy, undeserving low-lifes in our society to live. Reap what you sow.
