cindy mcpills calls Obama's run "the dirtiest campaign in American history."

Cindy McCain has accused Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama of running "the dirtiest campaign in American history."

In remarks reported Tuesday by The Tennessean, she said she initially did not want her husband John McCain to seek the Republican presidential nomination after a brutal primary struggle in 2000 against George W. Bush.

"The days of Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill are what we need to look to: a divided government but a government that needs to agree to disagree," Cindy McCain told reporters after visiting children at a Nashville hospital and prior to the presidential debate. "We're now seeing polarizing factions, people politicizing things that should be about what's best for America. Instead, they're doing what's best for themselves."

The Obama campaign declined to comment.

3. That's FAR, far beyond 'the pot calling the kettle black' - THEIR campaign has been 'the
dirtiest ever', or sure as hell close to it if not.

7. Jeezus...She'd better be careful or it might REALLY get dirty.
....527's running ads about her theft of narcotics from the charity she was running....
....about her husband making propaganda films for the Communists in 'Nam...
....about her husband's philandering, not only recently, but when he was in Brazil, when he was seeing YOU before you were married...
....stronger calls for the release of her husband's medical records...

...it could get MUCH worse, Cindy.

16. These people really are crazy.
I mean in a very real, and legally binding way.

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see any of this turning out well. Insane people tend to react violently when reality threatens their delusions.
