Man, these are good times, inspite of all the bad times:)
email, I want to tell you how I am proud of how far we have come,
ostensibly, seeing where he is in the polls and post debate etc etc. It's
not over yet. But this changes everything...at least as a national image. I
began to well up with tears today as I left the small library on the
outskirts of Dallas, after voting. I began to think that perhaps all that
struggle we had in the late sixties may be paying off finally after many
years of feeling like it was all for naught. I thought back to the racism in
my home as a child and how I confronted family (the GI Generation) about how
Dr King told us to judge by a person's character and not the color, or
ethnicity. I began to flash my whole life in front of my face of the grainy
black and white news footage of water cannons and horses during race riots.
Of the Stonewall riots. Maybe the time has finally come. Come for anyone who
is different. For anyone who does not fit the mold of white, male, straight,
rich, Protestant. God Bless us now. Maybe. God speed to Obama. And God help
us if he is not wearing Kevlar.
I love instant replays...and all the recorded for posterity stuff! Gotcha, Hayes, you sorry POS.
Mathews showed a clip of Palin showing her ignorance about what a VP really does. She said the VP is in charge of the senate!!!
Dumb Sarah. Ignorant Sarah. She Bush Sarah.

McCain/Palin putting Japan first.

She may not want to go back to Alaska after the AK legislature gets through with her.
Women and people of color being equal to the almighty white man!!
I would be willing to put all conservatives into a time machine back to the gilded age, where I am sure they will be more comfortable.

Alaska funded Palin kids' travel
The charges included costs for hotel and commercial flights for three daughters to join Palin to watch their father in a snowmobile race, and a trip to New York, where the governor attended a five-hour conference and stayed with 17-year-old Bristol for five days and four nights in a luxury hotel.
In all, Palin has charged the state $21,012 for her three daughters' 64 one-way and 12 round-trip commercial flights since she took office in December 2006. In some other cases, she has charged the state for hotel rooms for the girls.

They can't win on ideas, so they try violence and intimidation as though that makes their point of view correct (I was going to say 'right', but that takes on a whole other meaning). They're still wrong and they've criminally abused someone. They don't believe in society or the American Way.

Dear Congressman Hayes:
While I no longer live in North Carolina I was born and raised there, and am proud of that heritage. My mother and siblings still live there, and I love returning home. However, the hatred I have heard you spew recently at a political rally has tarnished my home state, and is an insult to Tarheels everywhere.
You stated, “Folks, there’s a real America. Liberals hate real Americans that work and achieve and believe in God.” And then you made it all the worse by lying about making the comment. Do you not know that most political rallies get recorded?
Let me be clear about this. I am not ashamed to wear the designation of “liberal.” Quite frankly, most of the best things America has accomplished have been “liberal” programs. As a member of the Republican Party, you sir have no moral authority to question the patriotism, hard work and beliefs of any other American.
I have worked hard and accomplished much. While in North Carolina I served on two legislatively mandated committees and provided testimony on the public records law to the North Carolina Legislature. I have volunteered extensively for several AIDS support groups in North Carolina, and volunteered regularly at the homeless shelter in Winston-Salem. I have received the highest awards of my industry. I have a home, a job, friends and family. I am a life-long active Methodist who believes in God, and I believe in the New Testament message of loving all people…not spreading hate and fomenting divisiveness. I even teach Sunday School, but I’ll bet you rarely even attend church.
Mr. Hayes, you are in no position make a judgment about my character, and I resent the aspersions you have cast on over half the people in this country. I for one have had enough, and I demand that you issue a public apology and resign immediately from the United States House of Representatives. This great country can no longer survive if it continues to aid and abet people such as you.
If you so love God, then I call to your attention his words in Micah 6:8, “He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God.” I call on you to live by these words. You, Mr. Hayes, have disparaged people you do not know, and then lied about it. You no longer have the moral authority to be a leader in this Country.
