Why is it that McCain is immune from criticism when he accepts support from Pat Robertson, who claims that Hurricane Katrina was a punishment from God for abortion, homosexuality, and any other abomination he and God discuss personally, while Obama is held responsible for the views of his preacher? Typical American politics-the candidate said he denounced those statements, but I guess that's just not enough for the looney right wing bigots. Apparently all of the years I've spent sitting through Catholic Masses means I support pedophiles.
It's so pathetic-obviously racism will be an issue in this campaign, but I had no idea how deeply skin color meant to so many people. I'm not a zealot- I just want the best candidate to counter a "McPresidency." The American people should be ashamed of themselves if they use race as a factor in this election. Maybe the rest of the world is right-we are stupid.
