Why should I be surprised that the Democrats are trying to ruin the reputation of one of the bravest and heroic men who has walked the earth this generation?
Seriously, politics aside, is calling Sen. John McCain a “blatant opportunist” really necessary? McCain 2008 is doing “Campaign 101” by introducing their candidate again to the American people; it only makes sense that they are gong to use his background as a POW in an ad.
“Dean’s comments are the latest in what has become a troubling pattern where the chairman of the national party has questioned Senator McCain’s character and integrity,” said Frank Donatelli, RNC’s deputy chairman today in a statement. “Howard Dean owes John McCain an immediate apology and both Senators Clinton and Obama should unequivocally denounce this disgraceful attack.”
Don’t count on it.
From Mr. Dean, it seems he can only be bitter and antagonistic. Recently on BBC America he said that Sen. McCain “cannot be trusted.”
Sad. But should we expect any different?
