Lies, Negativity Trump Honesty and Hope

John McCain won the 2008 Republican Florida Primary by running a last-minute blitz full of wrong and ruthless lies and attacks on Gov. Mitt Romney. McCain practiced politics as usual as he cut backdoor deals to secure endorsements, and simply reinforced the fact that he will do and say anything to finally reach the White House after planning it for decades. Today was a day when the past triumphed over the future; when negativity won over optimism and hope; and when a great man’s (Mitt Romney) mission to turn-around Washington has been dealt a fatal blow. With John McCain as the nominee, Republicans are guaranteed a loss in November; McCain and Hillary have more in common than what meets the eye.
