I saw a YouTube video today regarding the war in Iraq (created by a Ron Paul supporter):

The Jed Report correctly describes this video as potentially “brutal” and “devastating” to John McCain.  What I think is interesting is that, despite the fact that this information has all been in the public domain for months, it doesn’t become “brutal” until after somebody puts it on YouTube.  Did people not realize beforehand that McCain apparently believes that Baghdad is a safe place where anybody can walk around without any fear?  Did they think that he intends to withdraw troops from Iraq?

I think it’s about time that people start noticing these trends on their own instead of relying on a random YouTube user to tell us.  If you support the war and you think that it’s safe to walk around a ravaged city like Baghdad, then I understand why you wouldn’t care about his statements… but the vast majority of people (including intelligent and educated people) don’t even know about this.  I’ve met plenty of people who judge McCain based on the promises he made during the 2000 campaign, when the war and the economy were nonfactors.  It’s time for people to actually think before they vote.
