So they're going to smear each other, why do you care? Why post it when you know Obama's camp is going to do very similar things?

Don't be a sheep, lead the way and show people how to reach an educated decision on who to vote for. Talk about the issues and leave this garbage out of it. I might as well be paying attention to what Paris recently said about Nicole Richie.

I just thought this latest smear was particularly troubling as McCain seems to be kicking up the smear ads to new levels. Or as factcheck.org states it:

The new McCain-Palin ad "Disrespectful" begins like an earlier ad we criticized, with its reference to Barack Obama's celebrity, but then goes down new paths of deception.

Are most people intelligent enough to look past this garbage from both sides? I hope so. But if it wasn't having an impact on someone, why are they doing it?

Here's some Obama mistruths too if it makes you feel better:
