On this URL it is addressed if “McCain went to far in adds” on CNN’s internet news. Although the headline of this article was a quote I think there might have been a little bias in the overall article. Although the article had a mostly even contrast of how both politicians are wrong about the other the scale seemed to lean a little towards Obama being the nicer man. However even if this is true he’s a celebrity why wouldn’t he be nice? O that’s why its politics since the beginning of the American Democratic system of government there has been disputes between two opposing viewpoints. That is the way democracy works. The fact is that in politics people try to make their opponent lose. In order to do this they often do their best to bring out the worst in the opponent. Although this does not follow the golden rule it is a strategy that works. Rove wails on McCain for going to far but people said the same thing about Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama they both would tell the worst about the other. On this issue people did not like the rude comments Hilary and Bill Clinton said about their opponent, and it seemed that people did not seem to like it. I say let them bring out the dirt, how mean they are and how they react can tell the people a lot about their personality and how they will run the country. Since the original issues between Hamilton and Jefferson their has been anger against opposing viewpoints and people and it can cause people to do bad things. We as voters get to judge them for their actions, so why tell them not to if it’s who they are.
