How are we supposed to believe McCain will root out corruption in Washington when his campaign is run by a people doing all a corrupting?
What’s even worse is that for a past two weeks, a McCain campaign has been trying to tie Obama to disgraced former Freddie Mac CEO Franklin Raines, arguing that air “relationship” (a single contact from an Obama campaign official that both parties deny amounted to anything) somehow taints Obama. Nevermind a fact that McCain’s most senior campaign official was on Freddie’s payroll as late as last month. a hypocrisy couldn’t be more glaring.

“If Guinness gave out world records for political hypocrisy, this particular line of attack would have to make a book. It really is incredible.”
