I was probable naive not to kexpect so much racism from black people....but after seeing and hearing what is said in that Church where Obama sat for almost half his life and has been taking his kids too.....wow, my eyes have been opened and I hope that this will stop, right now I blame Obama just as others for increasing this hate and racism...Obama as a black man could have changed so much for black people but instead racism is increased faster than ever.

Murtha is a Congressman-For-Life. He'll be there as long as he wants to be.

What could he have done? His mere presence in this campaign shows, simultaneously, that racism is still entrenched in America, but that ultimately it has declined, and will continue to decline, in significance.

I've never been to Western Pennsylvania, but if Murtha said this about East Texas, I'd nod in agreement.

And isn't that sad? Republican or democrat, there should be no presumptive elective office for life. Term limits would be a great thing to combat against corruption.

You know, you can't have it your way everytime.

You condemn someone for say what you believe is a lie, then you condemn them for being honest and telling the truth. Only in America.
