Fight Hate-Mongers!

All I heard from McCain-Palin last week were snide remarks and divisive speech. No big news there, what else could they do? Seriously, this could bring our country down! Torture, a bad war, bank failures, the Feds taking over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? We are not talking about "the poor," whom the Republicans apparently consider a plague (I consider "the poor" as real people just like everyone else.) We are talking about middle class educated peope of all races who work hard and are on the brink of losing everything we believe in because the Republicans believe hate works. It's disgusting and frightening.

If you ever thought any old woman in office would do (McCain seems to think so), change your mind. Hilary Clinton lost the primary, but she is an honorable, accomplished person with many years of service ahead of her, and this country should be grateful for her. Sarah Palin might be a "pitbull with lipstick," but McCain picking her is an insult to Senator Clinton and all women. The Republicans are banking on what could charitably be called "low information voters." They just have to keep the vileness of Ms. Palin quiet for 60 days--remove her from "media scrutiny," which they have deemed invalid. What frightens me is hate speech can work. Don't let it work this time. It is way too important for all of us.
