Political Jokes gone to far

Today on the News, there was a report about how David Lettermen slammed John McCain almost the entire duration of his show either last night or a few nights before. He really ripped John McCain because first, he canceled his appearance on the show and secondly, he's suspending his presidential campaign. Republican Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin has also been the butt of all jokes lately. Ok, I personally don't like John McCain or Sarah Palin, but jokes have a way of sometimes going too far. I think this is one of those times. David Letterman was clearly angry at John McCain but he didn't really have to slam him so harshly throughout his show. John McCain does have some good plans to get this country back on track but the rest of those plans and ideas are just an extension of what Bush did to throw the country off track. Also, when interviewed on The View, I felt as though John McCain didn't really give a clear answer as to why he chose Sarah Palin as his running mate. I think Obama's plans for the country and his stance on some of the issues facing the American people right now are stronger. However, seeing as though Celebrities are now getting in on the race to become President and how everyone's making jokes about the Republican candidates, my vote is clearly for Obama, but I'd hate to see John McCain lose the Presidential Election just because these political jokes, which are both funny and mean, might influence people's choice for President. I really hope people do their research and don't just vote because Celebrities are for this Candidate or because Celebrities are making fun of that candidate. Also, I don't agree with Sarah Palin's view on some of the issues, but I think people should give her a break too. She is a smart woman, she just back's up McCain and I strongly disagree with both of them on some of the issues. I know, campaigns can get pretty ugly. I just don't want people to be influenced by mean political jokes or Celebrities; I mean, it's ok if you let other people impact your decision but just do your research.
