McCain Sends Out Robocall hitting Mitt - And Using Gay Baithing

Politico.com is reporting (http://www.politico.com/blogs/jonathanmartin/0108/McCain_sends_out_harsh_robocall_hitting_Mitt_from_Right.html) that in Florida, John McCain is now using Bill Clinton type tactics on Romney. Don't get me wrong, Mitt IS a major league flip flopper, but bashing him for treating gays as citizens deserving equality and freedom from discrimination is pretty creepy in my book. Would that we could flush all the sleaze and dirty tactics from political campaigns in this country. I truly would like to just pack up and leave this hate filled country at times. Just to live in a country where I would not feel like disposable campaign fodder would be so refreshing. Here are some highlights:
John McCain launched perhaps the toughest robocall yet here this afternoon, using a woman's voice to attack Romney on abortion and gay rights and to claim he has treated "social issues v"Mitt Romney thinks he can fool us," says the voice.
"We care deeply about traditional values and protecting families. And we need someone who will not waver in the White House: Ending abortion, preserving the sanctity of marriage, stopping the trash on the airwaves and attempts to ban God from every corner of society. These issues are core to our being.
"He supported abortion on demand, even allowed a law mandating taxpayer-funding for abortion. He says he changed his mind, but he still hasn’t changed the law. He told gay organizers in Massachusetts he would be a stronger advocate for special rights than even Ted Kennedy. Now, it’s something different."voters as fools."
