This year's presidential campaign as well as any political campaign is riddled with mudslinging. Each candidate advertises their opponent's downfall with slow motion black and white images of him or her walking up the steps of capital hill with a woman's quiet, grave sounding voice narrating. Who isn't swayed by one of these commercials? The answer: no one. If you are supporting the candidate that has approved this commercial you are jumping up out of your chair to cheer, and if you aren't you are even more for your candidate. If you're somewhere in the middle you might see that "Oh maybe this commercial is true." These commercials are very effective and are an easy way to grab a few undecided voters.
If you are like most people the commercial will sway you, and yet you hate it. You hate the commercial and what it is doing. Truly mudslinging is a horrible scar upon our political system. Recently in a McCain rally in Minnesota the senator corrected a woman you referred to Barack Obama as an "Arab." He then continued to quiet the boos of the crowd when he mentioned that he respects Obama and his accomplishments. He went further and said that he wanted everyone to be respectful to senator Obama. Let's take a look:
Isn't this how everyone wants his or her candidate to be? Of course. So, kudos senator McCain.

Oh really?
Constantly in hollywood the republican vice presidential nominee comes under fire. She is characterized as inexperienced, overly agressive, and sometimes stupid. Stupid? Really? Does everyone forget that she is the governor of one of our fifty states? Someone that has balanced the budget of a huge revenue making state is stupid? Someone who beat an incumbent governor from her own party and elected by American voters is stupid? Let's take a look:
Who is a hollywood actor to decide who is smart or not? No one. Clearly he has ignored the facts. Listen if you're going to voice your opinion you better be able to back it up with a valid argument.
Let's also look at Governor Palin's experience. Yes, she has only been governor for two years. Yes, before that she was only the mayor of a small town, but is Barack Obama that much more experienced? No. In fact a valid argument might be made that the senator is less experienced than Governor Palin. He has been a senator for as long as Sarah Palin has been governor, but he has been campaigning for eighteen months of that. If anyone is going to argue that Sarah Palin is not experienced enough then he or she should also be talking about how inexperienced Barack Obama is as well. Let's look at history. Ronald Reagan was only a governor, FDR was only a governor, and yet these two men will go down in history as two of the greatest presidents in american history. In fact FDR was only a governor three years before he was elected to our nation's highest office. Let's look at another hollywood figure abusing their position.

We're comparing apples to oranges here. Let's compare Obama to McCain. For Sarah Palin to become president something awful would have to happen first to John McCain. As president of the United States he would have access to the finest health care in the world. The chances that John McCain would die while in office are very slim indeed. John McCain has had 26 years of Washington experience. He was first elected to the House of Representatives in 1982 and to the Senate four years later. He knows how things work.
So, really? Sarah Palin is really unqualified? Barack Obama really has enough experience? Really?
