Come on, let's stop talking about videos and jpegs of isolated whack jobs that just happen to support McCain or Obama. This is nothing but a weakly transparent distraction from discussing real policy issues about which side is qualified to represent our country.
This, according to McCain supporters, is the person most qualified to be vice president of the United States:

In the interview with KUSA-TV in Denver, Palin said the vice president is like a "teammate" to the president. "But also, they're in charge of the United States Senate, so if they want to they can really get in there with the senators and make a lot of good policy changes," she added.
While the vice president presides over the Senate and breaks tie votes, the position comes with no official policy-making power.
The website Politico.com reported that the Republican National Committee spent $150,000 on clothes and accessories for Palin, including $75,063 at Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis before the party's national convention, and $49,426 at Saks Fifth Avenue in St. Louis and New York. Politico also said that its review of financial disclosure reports for Democrat Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee turned up no similar spending.

Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid Wednesday, reacting to Gov. Sarah Palin's comments that the vice president is ''in charge of'' the U.S. Senate, said that the Alaska governor ''obviously knows absolutely nothing'' of the U.S. Constitution.
''It's obvious that she doesn't know anything about the Senate,'' Reid said of Palin. ''The Vice President votes in case of a tie -- which happens rarely, rarely -- and other than that, has ... nothing to do with the Senate or the voting. In case of a tie, they can preside over the Senate -- but that happens rarely itself.''
''She obviously knows absolutely nothing about our Constitution or our country,'' he said.
Palin made the comments Tuesday during an interview, in which she was asked a question from a third grader named Brandon about the role of the vice president.
And this is the moral fiber of John McCain. No stabbings or youtube videos of his supporters, but the actual man:

And as George Bush pointed out during the 2000 election, McCain was one of the Keating Five:
