Today I saw two items that nicely sum up my mixed feelings about Sen. John McCain. One was how he has to be very vigilant about skin cancer, due to his time as a POW, where he was apparently in the sun an unhealthy amount (added to all the other unhealthy things that happened). It reminded me of how much he sacrificed for this country, and how much I respect that.
But on the other hand, he is now running a campaign that regularly resorts to outright lies and smears in its political ads. The latest is the TV ad that claims Obama canceled a trip to visit wounded US service members because he couldn't take along TV cameras. As Andrea Mitchell (a journalist who has well-known conservative links) points out, this is simply not true.
There's more on this here
McCain vowed to run an honorable and dignified campaign. That is a broken promise. And we're only in July.
