KF has an utterly predictable critique of the "McCain is a dishonorable liar" message. "Outrage at McCain's 'lies' is a total loser strategy," he says.

We're not weakly pleading with McCain to stop -- in fact, the more he lies the better because it will help cement the argument that we are making about him: that he is so out of touch on the economy, so wrong on the key policy questions facing the country that the only thing he has left is lies.
