Hagee, Ayers and the cheater

I guess she forgot that Rev. Hagee called the Catholic Church "A great whore" and referred to Hitler as a person "fulfilling God's will". Yet she states "I love Israel". If she wants to chastise Obama for associating with Rev. Wright she should chastise McCain for accepting Rev. Hagee's money and support. If the news didn't report it then McCain would still be in league with Hagee.

As to Ayers, well Obama also lived in the same neighborhood, and Ayers is Prof. Ayers a well respected educator at the university as compared to McCains buddies who raped those who had their life savings in the S&L. He didn't own up to any of it until caught.

Also don't forget he cheated on his first wife who was injured while he was in captivity. She had gone through 23+ surgeries before he was released. He came home to an imperfect wife and cheated on her with the 20yr. younger woman Cindy.

Original article: "That one?"

Elitist or Racist

Unfortunately for McCain the phrase "that one" can be seen as both elitist and racist. It portrays a "non-entity" or lesser person. How demeaning and rude of a person who claims to be for the people. Which ones, the ones with money and white skin? Which ones the ones who are "yes men" for him?

Additionally, McCain has consistently allowed those in his pocket, Palin-- "He pals around with terrorists", and the sheriff who introduced her in FL as the person who is up against Barack ‘Hussein’ Obama, to try to frighten the American public. Making them think he’s a Muslim extremist; and to that extent it can be construed as a posed terroristic subliminal threat that tries to keep us all huddled and afraid so we don't venture out of their small minded box.
