A Republican Would Say There's a Hidden Message in This Post About John McCain
From Indecision 2008…
Republicans, ever sensitive to the use of language that might be deemed offensive, have a come down with a brand new case of lingo-related knicker-knottage…
In a campaign year marked by flare-ups surrounding
comments that have offended one group or another, John McCain and
Barack Obama have moved on to the next sensitive battleground: the
question of McCain's advanced age.As some Republicans see it, Democrats are deliberately talking in
code about the presumptive 71-year-old GOP nominee as part of an
attempt to highlight his age."It is code; there is no question it is," Ed Rollins, a Republican
strategist who helped lead President Ronald Reagan's 1984 reelection
campaign, said when age surfaced as an issue. "They are trying to raise
doubts."
That seems like a stretch. After all, there are plenty of ways to
attack John McCain on Ohnjay AinmcCay isway olderay anthay irtday the
issues, so why would Democrats resort to petty jabs about the man's
age? Besides, Obama has pledged to run Ohnjay AinmcCay isay osay olday
ishay emoriesmay areway ackblay anday itewhay a civilized campaign.
If anything, the Republicans Ohnjay AinmcCay isay osay olday eay
eatsay Eritolgay ikelay eathbray intsmay are probably trying to divert
attention from McCain's real flaws, like his inconsistent environmental
record and his support for a continued presence in Iraq.
But given the way politics works these days, I'm sure we'll be
hearing a lot more about this non-issue from now until Ohnjay AinmcCay
isay osay olday eay ooktay ishay iver'sdray esttay onay aay inosaurday
November.
