Biden: "The same campaign that once called for a town hall a week is now launching a low blow a day"

<snip>

When Senator McCain was subjected to unconscionable, scurrilous attacks in his 2000 primary campaign, I called him on the phone to ask what I could do. And now, some of the very same people and the tactics he once deplored his campaign now employs. The same campaign that once called for a town hall a week is now launching a low blow a day.

Barack and I can take it. That’s not what bothers me.

It bothers me that — as one media watchdog put it — John’s recent commercial is the, “latest in a number that resort to a dubious disregard for the facts.” As another news organization put it: The wheels have come off the straight talk express.

But what really bothers me, is that every punch thrown at us — is an attempt to distract you. And they can be plenty distracting.

2. I did not think

The Republicans could sink any lower, but thus they have. McCain's campaign is making Dumbya's look like one from a fucking Saint.

I'm so disgusted with this.
