I think I'll cede the low road to you, TB. The smears you're parroting so obligingly for the McCain campaign are targeted at Joe Sixpack, and here, where everybody has a three-digit IQ, you're just making an ass of yourself. Nobody buys that crap.

The post above and your self-reply are interesting in the way they reveal your conflicted (schizophrenic?) feelings. While you're dutifully trying to smear Obama, you're also trying to distance yourself intellectually from McCain and his pitbull Palin. Which one is the real TB?

I find myself looking at the election as being as much a referendum on the American people as it is about choosing a President. When I'm feeling glass-half-empty, it's depressing that bullshit like you've been flinging is even getting a hearing among The Debased...er, The Base. Are American jobs fleeing overseas simply because the average American IQ has dropped below the threshold of economic viability? Is the red state mentality a harbinger of America's future? Is Joe Sixpack the face of the future?

I cede the low road to you, Tom.
