Election 2008: Families Off Limits

EXCLUSIVE: Obama Expresses 'Deep Disappointment' in McCain's Silence on Wife Attacks - The Brody File: David Brody Blog - CBN News:

"And you know I've said publicly before, and I'll say it again - I think families are off limits. I would never consider making Cindy McCain a campaign issue, and if I saw people doing that - I would speak out against it."

okay so these are Obama's own words .... and he has come out and given one of those light-handed scoldings to his supporters like he did the Rev Wright (nope, not going to forget or let go of that one) ... and I'm sure it won't be long until we see him using some of the same crap in order to keep himself out in front of the polls.

And as far as making Cindy McCain a campaign issue -- they already did with his blessing .... remember the "7 houses" ad? Those houses are not in McCain's name, if there is any name on them its Cindy's ....

Every time he brings up McCain's wealth ... its really a way of digging into Cindy McCain because she dared to be born to a wealthy family. John McCain? He's the son of a military man who was the son of a military man -- I don't know about you, but I don't know too many rich military men.

Now he's digging at Palin and her daughter .... not jumping hard enough on those horrid rumors that her young child (the one with DS) is actually that of her daughter .... not refusing to talk to reporters from the publications that put out photos of the girl and her fiance ... no he's not saying anything directly, but then he isn't doing enough to stop what's being said in his name.

You know its the same thing that makes Bush responsible for what happened at Abu Graib in so many people's mind -- Bush never said 'do it' but he didn't speak up strong enough against it.

Good point made on the radio this morning ...

For those of you out there who are upset because Palin's daughter decided to keep her baby instead of aborting it and taking what many consider the easier way ....
Barrack's mom got pregnant at 17yrs .... and she didn't get an abortion.

how different would it be if all the 'unwanted' babies had been aborted all those years ago? Think about it .... you have to wonder how many people born in the 50's, 60's, and 70's wouldn't be here if their mothers had had that option.
(I started going on task here so I will have to do a seperate post later this week on this issue)
