Racist McCain – “Obama will take white people’s money and give it to black, unemployed, welfare addicted poor people!”

JM Bell | October 30, 2008

Did anyone else notice that Obama went through that entire thirty minute ad yesterday without mentioning McCain once? McCain can’t make it through 30 seconds without targetting Obama, being a racist and lying. That’s not change, that’s more of the same.

JM Bell | October 28, 2008

JM Bell | October 28, 2008

Voting
Courage is a funny word. How brave is it to vote in America? I seem to get to the polls and vote without cold sweats, trepidation or suicide bomber worries.
