As I said, I agree that this sort of disingenuousness is ethically wrong, but I can't divorce myself from the reality that this is a big break for our side to leverage against McCain. And when looked at in the broader picture - Supreme Court appointees; economic future; McCain's age and Palin's insanity - I start to think, "Yeah...IOKIYAD." I feel like I'm in a political Frosted Mini Wheats commercial: "Wholesome shredded wheat for the adult in me; great taste for the kid in me. They're delicious AND nutritious!" Thanks, Shark.

And, for the record, I agree with you. As I stated previously, I refuse to take things blatantly out of context and exaggerate. I am sorry, but I believe it is ethically wrong to be disingenuous. The ends do not justify the means. I will go down in flames with self-respect and nobility before cowing to the right's tactics. Good and important post, Thrill.
