Fear and Hate As Political Strategy

[Alison} Watching TV, I am appalled to see the Ayers connection and Arab, Muslim characterizations dominating McCain's campaign. The Republican tactic of dusting up fear and hate to try to win again rears its ugly head. I can only hope Americans have become more interested in the issues this time around. The question is who can get the job of President done best, not all this other garbage. Nobody wins this way.

In this country, we need someone who can bring people together, not drive them apart. That's Obama. These divisive tactics are despicable. McCain is now backtracking to mend the divide which is honorable of him. He may pay from the conservative right. Good for him, anyway.
