A scary Halloween with Sarah Palin

In central Pennsylvania, the Republican base is afraid of Obama, and lost in fever dreams of a neo-Soviet nightmare. But it's all in God's hands.

    Unity over fear and hate!!!

    Zambabwe, Congo, Rwanda, East Timor, Sudan are examples of what fear and hate campaigns do to a people. Do we want that for America ? NO!!! Stop the fear campaigns of calling people socialists or terrorists!! Stop the hate-mongering by splitting America into "real" or "pro" from "fake" and "anti"!!!

    It is much easier to make people fear and hate each other than to thoughtfully look for ways to make their lives better. This campaign has revealed a very ugly side of American politics. Let's all hope and pray we as an American people can see through these irresponsible, selfish, "I wanna win at all costs", infantile tactics and pick the right folks who want to make America and the world a better place to live.
