Weekend Stuff: The racist, sexist, ageist, elitist campaign

I have been dismayed ...to see Carly, former CEO of the world's largest technology vendor, used by the McCain campaign to attack the press as "sexist" for asking questions about Palin. I mean what could be more sexist than McCain not using someone that qualified to instead outline his science, technology and innovation policy positions?

Not just picking on the Republicans. The Democrats invoke the race card, other Republicans the age card and back and forth.

How about playing the technologist card? The cardiologist card? The economist card?

With just 60 days left in the campaign can we get back to the big issues facing the country?

Vinnie,

You cannot ask for the impossible. The things you are looking for require skills, competence, and other things which have no value in politics.

There is no real good politics talk going on as both sides are really pushing false info in different parts of the country. Very sad, particularly continuing to push the fear tactics that the Republicans have mastered.
