I couldn’t believe it when I saw it. I had to test the link, despite the perils of following links offered in spam email. It directed me to johnmccain.com.
And so it seems that the McCain camp, in the last 24 hours of the US election campaign, has resorted to a new low: SPAM .
Claims that Obama was a terrorist weren’t enough. The evils of socialism (despite the fact that Bush is the greatest ’selective’ socialist on the planet – for bankers) were raised and failed to deter the American electorate. Trying to spend endless hours proving that Obama is not an American citizen.
All of these pale in comparison to the greatest of all Internet marketing evils. SPAM.
Anyways, I received this message in my in box this evening. I’m a Canadian citizen and, while I would love to vote for the American president, I know I never will because I’ll never move to the US. And despite the fact that I’m a foreigner unable to vote for McCain, they send me spam anyways.
I read it like someone watching a car crash on the highway.

My Friend,
From the time I entered the Naval Academy at age seventeen I have been privileged and honored to serve my country.
 Throughout my years of service, I’ve been faced with challenges where I could have taken the easy way out and given up. But I’m an American and I never give up. Instead, I choose to show courage and stand up and fight for the country I love. Today, I am asking you to stand with me and to fight for our country’s future.
Our country faces enormous challenges and our next president must be ready to lead on day one. My lifetime of experience has prepared me to lead our great nation. I’m prepared to bring solutions to our economic challenges, bring our troops home in victory and improve our nation’s healthcare system.
Time and time again, my country has saved my life and I owe her more than she has ever owed me. I have chosen to show my gratitude through a life of service to our country and tomorrow, you will have a choice before you.
I humbly ask you to make the choice that will allow me to serve my country a little while longer by casting your vote to elect me as your next President of the United States.
Finally, I ask that you never forget that much has been sacrificed to protect our right to vote. We must never forget those Americans who, with their courage, with their sacrifice, and with their lives, have protected our freedom. It is my great hope that you will exercise your right to vote as an American tomorrow.
I thank you for your kind support, your dedication to our cause, and most importantly I thank you for your vote.
With sincere appreciation,
John McCain
