It is bad enough that Cindy McCain is delusionally claiming that Obama is running the dirtiestl campaign in history (which is some bizarre form of projection), but she reached a new low by using her son's military service in a deceptive way.

This is the lowest form of politcal pandering. She neglects to mention that her husband voted against a similar bill. Neither vote against the bill was about troop funding - it was about the fact that one version contained a time table to pull troops (including her son) out of Iraq (which McCain voted against), the other had no timetable (which Obama voted against). She also fails to note her husband voted to send their child to war.
Sadly, this opportunistic use of her son's military service will score some points with the base, It shows how desperate the McCain campaign has gotten.
