Are you seriously this stupid? Do you honestly think that if he were not eligible it would take some quack out of Pennsylvania to uncover it? Do you *really* think that neither the DNC nor the RNC would have vetted this? Please! > He had his records sealed? Why? I am also am at odds with Bush for the > same thing. Bush hid his military service records because there was > something to hide. So did McCain. What records are you talking about? The Univeristy of Chicago records on his nonprofit educational work? Those records that he doesn't own or control? Again, I call complete bullshit on this crap. > I voted for McCain because I am afraid of Obama! Who is Obama? Were > did he come from? This is GOP misdirection and fearmongering and you should be ashamed of yourself for falling for it! He was born in Hawaii. His history is well documented. > What about that church were the pastor who preached > hate not reconstruction. The church that he resigned from? The statements that Obama disavowed? Try again, sparky. > Obama suposedly has terrorist ties. Show me anything other than that ridiculous stretch about Ayers (who has never actually been charged with a crime), which has been shown to be nothing other than them moving in the same circles, not "palling around" as Palin said. Fearmongering and deception again. In this vein, I guess McCain is a suspect because G. Gordon Liddy - a *convicted felon* - raised funds for him and invited McCain into his home! Bah! > He has an > illegal alien aunt. And? He didn't even know that she was illegal. Apparently she is a relative which he didn't even meet until he was an adult, and he was unaware that she was illegal. > What else do we not know about? Probably tons of stuff that, taken out of context like the rest of this Republican hate, could be misconstrued as scary. Anything substantive? Incredibly doubtful, especially after the Republican hate machine has had almost two years to assassinate his character and failed. > What about his wife saying "....this is the first time I have been happy > with America..." Obviously an unfortunate quote, but again horribly over-sensationalized. > I've always been proud of this country that I have > served on active duty, reserve duty, and within local government. What > has he done? Did he serve? Has he sacrificed? Um, he's done community advocacy work, taught Constitutional law (unlike Bush who has done much to erode Constitutional protections), practiced civil rights law, served in the Illinois senate, served in the US senate and is now the President-elect of the United States. Yeah, he's served. > What little we know about him scares me. What you *should* know but instead choose to ignore scares me. > I do not like what is going on in America. I did not support the > bailout nor do I think it will work. I just think McCain is much less > scary. I disagree. McCain is Bush's lapdog, and would have led more of the same pandering to and lining the pockets of the biggest bribers ^H^H^H^H^H campaign contributors. He'd have continued the assault on civil liberties. He wants to continue to kill off American boys prosecuting a war we waged on a sovereign nation based on lies. That scares me far worse than having a Constitutional scholar in office.
