McCain vs Obama, third debate, first half hour

15 October 2008 · by  Fr. Ernesto Leave a Comment

“Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.”

As is usual, I missed much of the first half hour because the debate is on Bible Study night, and that is much more important to me. However, having caught the last five minutes of that half hour, I was so disgusted that I almost turned my TV off and swore off political blogging. My wife actually walked out of the room and went to the office to play computer games.

Here is what I heard ==> You said something and it hurt me and you never apologized. No, you hurt me worse and you did it first. You have a bigger budget for negative campaigning than I do. But you have done nothing but negative campaigning for three weeks.

It was a rather sickening sight. It was one little boy (Sen. McCain) trying to badger the other little boy (Sen. Obama) into an apology.
