I know what you meant by "luckily" but some would feel luckier if relatives like that didn't speak to them again.

I keep waiting for someone to say to McCain what was once said to McCarthy; "Have you no shame Senator? Finally, at long last, have you no shame?

It's really getting WAY out of hand,and people need to stand up & SAY something,as McCain & Palin certainly are NOT,and indeed are encouraging it. Now some McCaniacs are going to pop in here & whine & deny it,but it's true ,I have seen many videos of their hate rallies,where they smirk after someone yells out something ignorant from the crowd. This is not one of their rallies,just another ignorant follower of theirs.

Maybe you can overcome the embarrassment and be proud to be an American like michelle obama. She said "For the first time in my adult life I am proud to be an American".

Well, considering that these folks were stupid enough to elect Bush TWICE...

... well, what more can you expect?



A VERY ignorant bunch indeed.

Some people think so. But it only sucks if people are saying what they don't want to hear.

I'm in total agreement. Doesn't he know that only African-Americans are allowed to express hate for other races? If he keeps this up people may start associating me with him just because I have the same "lily white skin".

I guess you saw this morning's polls too.

Don't compare me with that woman; I can't stand her. I don't need to overcome the embarrassment; I just mentioned that it was just that and it is. Now if Obama gets in, I may have to resort to claiming to be from another country. Just kidding even though it isn't funny. I'll still claim to be an American no matter what happens to this country.
