Bush borrowed McCain's earlier language of reform, and declined to disassociate himself from a veterans activist who accused McCain (in Bush's presence) of having "abandoned the veterans" on POW/MIA and Agent Orange issues.

Incensed, McCain ran ads accusing Bush of lying and comparing the governor to Bill Clinton, which Bush said was "about as low a blow as you can give in a Republican primary". An unidentified party began a semi-underground smear campaign against McCain, delivered by push polls, faxes, e-mails, flyers, and audience plants. It claimed most infamously that McCain had fathered a black child out of wedlock (the McCains' dark-skinned daughter Bridget was adopted from Bangladesh), and also that his wife Cindy was a drug addict, that he was a homosexual, and that he was a "Manchurian Candidate" traitor or mentally unstable from his North Vietnam POW days. The Bush campaign strongly denied any involvement with the attacks.

Sorry I lashed out at you. I read your post wrong.

Edited to add: But there is still something wrong with you.

Well, that goes without saying - and I've never said there wasn't.;)

And here we go again. Mesmerizing the public over bulls**t stories like this, while the real issues Iraq, economy, get ignored.
This is how the media puts us all to sleep and continues the tyranny.

I know. And conservatives go after things like this too (did his wife say something trashy? is he really a Moooooosssslim?) instead of going after his record - or complete lack of record - and his plans for the country, none of which are in our interest.
