McCain targeted by media because they can

There is a story out there about John McCain, involving his personal life and it is out of line, in my opinion. Similarly, there are stories out there about Barack Obama. There have, similarly, always been stories out there about the Clintons.

All of this is so much nonsense. Talk about tax money, and if it was abused, then I'm all ears. Talk about poor judgment in office, and it's fair game. Start talking about candidates' personal lives, families or ancestors and it is just so much tripe.

John McCain, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are all great Americans, who are each running for president and have demonstrated a great deal of commitment toward the nation and what it stands for. The garbage going on during this race is terrible, to say the least. To say the most, it's a zoo.

The presidential contest has become a contest where the most talked about things are seldom initiatives being discussed insofar as government. It's a shame, because with government having failed this government for so long, it would be good to hear some ideas about how to pick it up out of the open grave it has been languishing in for some time.
