Given that today alone Marc Ambinder reports
that McCain will be drumming misinformation about Obama's Iraq stance repeatedly, that Glenn Greenwald says that McCain's campaign has hired Gregory Jenkins who kept any signs of dissent from Bush events and who has already shown his hand at a McCain event, that we are being subjected, as Marshall points out today to ridiculous nitpicking by Republicans over whether Iraq wants 16 vs. 20 months for withdrawal from Iraq, to persistent (almost desperate) unfavorable shadings of the truth by the Administration and the McCain campaign,  to many in the MSM simply ignoring important information harmful to McCain or helpful to Obama, and on and on...it seems to me that this way past a dirty campaign and moving into the Republicans being willing to use whatever it takes to hold on to power.  There is no reason to think that people who would suspend our Constitution to protect themselves, their war, their torture policies; their corporations; who would be perfectly willing to lie, evade, trap innocent people, etc. etc., wouldn't be willing to behave with complete ruthlessness in holding on to their power.  It's time to start fighting back!
