The Orwellian language continues...
At this point, I've almost grown accustomed to the constant use of Orwellian language from the Republican party. McCain's accusal that Obama will say, "anything to get elected" is just another fine example of this. It shouldn't really be anything new or surprising to us by this point. Bush has made Orwellian language a staple of his presidency, some great examples are: No Child Left Behind, the Clean Air Act, and Operation Iraqi Freedom. McCain has, like almost every other facet of Bush's policies, adopted this language. His campaign slogan is one of the most obvious, Country First. Meanwhile, as they put Country First, Sarah Palin gets a $150,000 new wardrobe from the likes of Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus. So to hear McCain claim Obama will say anything to get elected, while his campaign continues to peddle the lie that Obama is somehow a terrorist in sheep's clothing is something so illogical it will only make sense to the wingnuts stuck on the far right.
