The People Made Me Do It
This Hamas thing is absurd. McCain is claiming he can't help it? Clinton had to raise the dirt because the Republicans would eventually do so. McCain has to raise dirt, even if unfounded, because it's a fact that is of interest to the American people?
You know, if you're going to be a bastard, as least own your bastardry.
Worth noting that when McCain got hit with the "100 years" TV ad that used his own words, he wasn't so crazy about it being "true" and "of interest to the American people."

""It's very obvious to everyone that Senator Obama shares nothing of the values or goals of Hamas, which is a terrorist organization," McCain said. "But it's also a fact that a spokesperson from Hamas said that he approves of Obama's candidacy. I think that's of interest to the American people.""
If McCain were honest and intelligent, or either of the two, he would say nothing about this issue, or say that this issue should be of no interest to the American people, or say that it reflects positively on Obama that a Middle Eastern entity approves of his candidacy.
Do we want to get along with the world? Do we want to at least try to get along? Or do we want the world to think that we will bomb anyone who implies that we are not God?

Hey John,
The people want to talk about FEC violations. Is that in the interest of the American people?
How about getting our troops out of Iraq?
How about a discussion of your mental health?
