Ask Yourself

You have heard Obama’s speech and it has moved you, a man who wants change and wants to help the America people.
You have heard McCain’s speech and he talks about Obama inexperience, and then he sticks women in front to sway you.
Ask yourself are you so afraid of a black man that you would hand this country over to someone who would help the rich to keep getting richer and to let the middle class become poor. People are saying that McCain and Palin are right for this county but I haven’t heard anything about how they would make things better. Please people this is very important, we are Americans and our country has lost it status as being the greatest country in the world. If the Republicans had a good candidate I would vote for him but they do not. We need someone that will do the job. Ask yourself are you voting for who is the lightest or who is right.

Who is running for President Palin or McCain?

I can’t believe how the republicans have pulled the bait and switch on America. At first all of these people were not sure about McCain but as soon as he picked a female he is the best thing since apple pie. Let get it straight this female is not qualified, why didn’t pick Mrs. Rice she would be the best pick. Have you notice that since he picked Palin, John McCain is in the background. Do you really think that because she is a woman she can run the country better? Remember she is running for Vice President. What has she or McCain said that would make you believe that they would do a better job than Bush? We can’t afford to vote for Black, White, Republican, and Democrat, male, female. We have to vote for someone that has something to say. Someone that knows that the America people are feed up. We need jobs people. So please do not fall for the hype, Palin and McCain or wrong for this country.

John McCain is a Racist

I found this on the website below

John McCain is a Racist By DOUG THOMPSON
John McCain, a member of the House of Representatives in the mid-1980s, often held court at a table near the bar at Bullfeathers, a popular Capitol Hill watering hole, telling jokes and matching hangers-on drink by drink.
As a Capitol Hill chief of staff, I often drank at Bullfeathers and was invited to join the throng at McCain’s table one evening. A few minutes listening to the racism, bigotry and homophobia of the Arizona Congressman told me all I needed to know.
McCain loved to tell jokes about lesbians, blacks, Hispanics and the Vietnamese community that occupied a large section of Arlington County, Virginia, just south of the District of Columbia.
Of course, McCain didn’t use polite language in the jokes: He used names like “fags” or “queers” or “dykes” or “niggers” or “spics” or “wetbacks” or “gooks.”
A typical McCain joke:
Two dykes are talking at a bar and one leaves. As she walks toward the door, the other watches her leave and says out loud: “God, I’ve love to eat her out.”
Two men are standing near by and one turns to the other and says: “I’d like to do the same. Guess that makes me a dyke.”
Or another:
Question: Why does Mexican beer have two “X’s” on the label?
Answer: Because wetbacks always need a co-signer.
When he ran for the Senate, I attended a gathering of GOP operatives at the National Republican Senatorial Committee where McCain outlined his campaign strategy:
I play to win. I do whatever it takes to win. If I have to fuck my opponent to win I’ll do it. If I have to destroy my opponent I won’t give it a second thought.
This is the man the Republican Party thinks should be the next President of the United States. What else should we expect from a party that promotes racism, homophobia and discrimination against anyone with a different skin color, sexual orientation or ethnic origin?
So we shouldn’t be surprised that McCain’s campaign strategy seeks to raise racial fear about Barack Obama, the first African-American with a serious shot at the Presidency of the United States.
John McCain is a racist: Always has been, always will be. Those who served with him in the Navy say he treated black sailors with disrespect and scorn. His collection of off-color jokes are riddled with racist words and sentiments. Advisors have toned down the raunchy rhetoric of his early years in Congress but close aides say his attitudes have not changed.
McCain opposed making the birthday of slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King a national holiday. During his 2000 campaign for President, he told reporters on his “Straight Talk Express: “I hated the gooks (North Vietnamese). I will hate them as long as I live.”
Katie Hong of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, who reported the remark, wrote:
It is offensive because by using a racial epithet that has historically been used to demean all Asians to describe his captors, McCain failed to make a distinction between his torturers and an entire racial group.
It is alarming because a major candidate for president publicly used a racial epithet, refused to apologize for doing so and remains a legitimate contender.
For his 2000 campaign for President, McCain hired Richard Quinn, founder and editor in chief of Southern Heritage Magazine, to serve as his spokesman in South Carolina.
Notes Salon.Com:
Quinn’s articles have called Nelson Mandela a “terrorist” and King a man “whose role in history was to lead his people into a perpetual dependence on the welfare state, a terrible bondage of body and soul.” In another piece, Quinn said of former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, “What better way to reject politics as usual than to elect a maverick like David Duke?” though he did condemn Duke’s bigotry.
Irwin A. Tank, author of Gook: John McCain’s Racism, notes a long and sordid history of racism from the presumptive GOP nominee, including:
* McCain’s use of the anti-Asian slur “gook” publicly for 27 years before dropping the use for his current Presidential run;* McCain’s endorsement of George Wallace Jr., a frequent speaker at white supremacist events;* His vote against establishing a holiday for Martin Luther King’s birthday and then another vote to rescind the holiday.* In answering a question about divorced fathers and child support, McCain called the children “tar babies.”
The list goes on and on.
