From another American's point of view... I think the Paris Hilton/Brittany Spears ad is perhaps the most hollow attempt at slander in the campaign so far. Rick and Kathy Hilton, certainly rich celebrities themselves, if not just parents of one, gave to the McCain campaign AND subsequently scolded McCain by adding his ad was a frivolous way to choose a president. (While McCain responded that he was just having fun, I find that unfortunate given the grave situation our economy is in, the endless war in Iraq, healthcare increasingly out of reach for the average American, and the heavily tarnished world view of America.) As far as actors aligning themselves with the Democrats, what of an actor becoming president himself? Remember Regan? Also, McCain is certainly not part of the middle class as he owns 8 houses (and that's news to him) with a wife who has an annual income estimated at $6,000,000. Worse congress to date? All I have to type is "Bush" is response to that! I find it mind boggling that the myth of a liberal media has been so successfully perpetuated by the right. Where were they when Bush marched ever closer to invading Iraq? Where was the scrutiny and the questioning that might have helped dismantle the fabricated scenarios now called "faulty intelligence" leading up to the war? Where was the liberal media when every media outlet lined up behind Fox News (again I say, liberal media?) to prematurely announce Bush as the winner over Gore? And finally, Obama has not attacked her family, but rather defended the idea that family should be explicitly free from attack, especially with regard to children. It's not his fault she has 20 months of experience as a governor in a state with a rather small population. So yes, it's no secret that I'm for one candidate and you are for another, but it's a shame no one can seem to run anymore on honest issues. Character assassination and the like have gotten out of hand to say the least and campaigns seem more immature as time goes on. The favorite effective tactis seems to effect opinions by the repetition of one-liners (bumper sticker mentality), whether any truth is involved or not.
