Because he and his candidate are hopelessly lame and living in the past, so this McCarthy-ism bullshit is the best they can come up with. Kinda funny that they throw back to one of the ugliest episodes in US political history, a time when anyone that didn't hit the right talking point was a "commie". I love this tactic Ray, please continue and PLEASE get in contact with the McCain campaign team and have McStain and Palin start calling Obama "Comrade Obama". PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE....
