McCain's Past Associations May Get Dredged Up Again!

On Meet The Press today, they were talking about the negative tactics that are being employed by the McCain campaign. Sarah Palin wants to smear Barack Obama by misrepresenting his association with Bill Ayers.What about John Mccain & Charles Keating? I posted some information about McCain's involvement with the "Keating Five". Read my earlier posting about that scandal. As I mentioned before, Barack Obama was 8 years old when Bill Ayer committed his terrorist acts. John McCain was a grown man when he was investigated by the ethics committee for his close association with Charles Keating. It was also mentioned on Meet the Press that John McCain was a part of a ultra conservative group that was deeply racist. As an african-american female, I am petrified of the remote possiblity that John McCain may become the next president. He's been known to make degrading remarks towards women in public. Look at what he told a republican fund raiser about Chelsea Clinton. "Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is (former attorney general) Janet Reno"! Now, you can draw your own conclusions as to what that joke meant! That's why Bill Clinton's glowing remarks about McCain baffled me to no end! But, whatever! Everyone except Joe Biden has had questionable associations. Sarah Palin & the witchhunter who made her the governor of Alaska ( according to Sarah Palin herself). John McCain & the "Keating Five" & the rest of his questionable associations!Go here for more on John McCain(http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/jun/05/johnmccain.uselections20081) They should just stick to the issues that matter. Obviously, John McCain has nothing to offer the country but more of the same. Maybe far worse.

STICK TO ISSUES LIKE THE ECONOMY!

Sexism has been used to shield Sarah Palin from the scrutiny that she so badly needs & deserves. It is true that racism, sexism, etc... are issues that exist in society period. The problem is that we are dealing with bigger issues such as the decline of the economy. This is not about making false claims about personal attacks on either of the candidates. "Community Organizer" was how Rudy Giulliani( who had issues with blacks during his time as mayor of New York City) summed up a sitting SENATOR'S career! I believe that was not only degrading Barack Obama because of his race, but
it is making an issue of class. I mean helping the poor is not a good qualifying factor when you're running for president. At least not in Rudy Giulliani's point of view. As witnessed by the current republican administration, helping the rich is of more importance.

All of these issues should not be a part of this race. America is struggling with much more pertinent issues. We better talk about global warming, energy solutions, economic despair, education,& all of the REAL ISSUES! People need to get the facts & not vote with emotion. My heart & mind tells me to vote for the candidate who can make life better for everyone. If you have a working brain, you know who that is. Barack Obama!
