During the last couple of weeks, our country seems to have fallen victim to an out-of-control populist bonfire. In lieu of the now infamous AIG bonus conundrum, every Washington politician equipped with a tongue, seized the opportunity to mercilessly pillory the AIG employees who were beneficiaries of these bonuses. Even Barack Obama proved vulnerable to the temptation by decrying AIG's "recklessness and greed."

The first few weeks of the Obama presidency have been marked by both triumph and embarrassment. From the left's perspective, Obama triumphed in enacting a gargantuan spending bill that is supposed to pull our economy out of its current doldrums. The passage of this bill marked the first of what liberals hope are many legislative victories for the new administration. The embarrassment came in the form of several high-profile nominees and their inability to pay taxes properly.

WOODBRIDGE, Va. -- Republican presidential candidate John McCain rallied supporters in Virginia on Saturday in a state that polls suggest is slipping out of 44 years of his party's control.

In the midst of the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression, the conservative base has had the same old knee-jerk reaction as years past: outdated and just plain wrong. John McCain said last week on the stump, in more or less words, "...the quickest way to turn a recession into a depression is by raising taxes." It's time that the Republicans grow up out of their Reagan-esque image of the world. First of all, Barack Obama will not raise taxes on 95% PERCENT OF ALL AMERICANS. John McCain and the average Bill O'Reily follower who regurgitates talking points likes to argue, "Barack Obama will raise your taxes." Well, no matter how many times you lie, it's not going to be true, but the sad part is that some Americans start to believe this non-sense. Well I'm here to say, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. The American people are tired of these gutter politics. Has anyone else noticed how much race has crept up in the past weeks? Every news channel, especially Fox news, is posing the question: "Is American ready for a black president?" At McCain rallies people are yelling out "terrorist" and "kill him" when Obama is referenced. Granted, McCain did confront a supporter hinting at this garbage a few day's ago, but it's clear he's doing the bare minimum to prevent this election from getting dirty, and ultimately doing very little to keep this country from becoming bitterly divided. Do we want our next president to embrace erratic, child-like, and capricious leadership tactics?
