Capping a week of heated exchange between the candidates, Republican Presidential Nominee John McCain today pointed more fingers at the Obama camp, accusing his opponent of using the upcoming presidential campaign to "get as many votes as possible."
"He's out there working the crowds like there's no tomorrow," said McCain of Barack Obama. "He's just trying to get votes. It's shameful and un-American!"
This week, McCain took a number of shots at his democratic rival. First, he wrote off Obama's successful European tour as a "publicity stunt." Later, he blasted Obama for snubbing wounded Iraq War soldiers when it was revealed that a planned visit to a German hospital had been cancelled.
"He should have gone to the hospital and had his photograph taken with the most severely wounded men and women," said McCain. "If he had had any conscience at all, he would have posed next to them and asked them to pretend that his visit was really cheering them up."
Though McCain and Obama initially promised to avoid negative campaigning, the rhetoric between the two has grown more acrimonious during the past few weeks as McCain repeatedly accuses Obama of playing the "Washington Insider Card."
"He talks about change," said McCain. "That's code for 'let's get all the Washington insiders out of Washington.' He's an anti-Washington insider bigot - plain and simple."
McCain has also blasted Obama for being anti-war.
"Our brave men and women are over there risking their lives and all he can talk about is peace," said McCain. "What a traitor!"
"Here's half a peace sign, Barack. I hope that's good enough for ya," yelled McCain as he extended his middle finger in the air.
McCain also predicted that Obama would exploit the upcoming Democratic convention for his own benefit.
"He'll be grabbing publicity at every opportunity -- making speeches and giving interviews. I'm sure he'll use the event to promote himself and get even more votes. What a ham!"
