    Native Blood: The Myth of Thanksgiving

    In 1641, a raid against the members of the Pequot tribe in Connecticut was very successful, and the churches declared a day of "thanksgiving" to celebrate. During this feast, the decapitated heads of Natives were kicked through the streets of Manhatten. Many towns in New England held thanksgiving days to celebrate victories over the Natives.

    And then there's Palin, who tried unsuccessfully to link Obama to William Ayers while palling around with AIP terrorists herself, including her terrorist pal and husband, Todd.

    Troopergate Report: Palin Abused Power

    This will doom McCain. The investigation concluded that Palin abused her power and violated state ethics laws (read report). The fallout will occur at the ballot box this November 4th. Imagine if she became Vice President: Considering that Palin wants to expand the powers of the VP, her willingness to violate ethics laws could affect American citizens, if not world policy. Her demonstrated abuse of power puts her out of consideration for VP (let alone her naivete, extremist beliefs, and her hate baiting politics).

    The Politics of Violence Baiting

    This is getting way out of hand. The inflammatory fear mongering tone of the McCain-Palin campaign has stirred outbursts of violence against Obama. "Kill him" shouts a crowd member, "treason" shouts another. And McCain and Palin say nothing against it. What next, a torch mob? This is precisely the kind of violence baiting that produces the Timothy McVeighs, the Eric Rudolphs, and the David Koreshs of the world. There's another word for this kind of dirty campaigning: terrorism. McCain, shame on you.

    Sarah Palin, a gun-loving NRA member, has become an idol for the right-wing-liberal-hating Republicans. How can her lies about Obama not stir violence among the wingnuts in America? McCain & Palin's hate-inspiring rhetoric will carry over to the next presidency. Just imagine how angry the Republican extremists will become when Obama wins the election! This has to stop. Write to the McCain campaign and tell McCain & Palin's to stop their terrorist campaigning before people get hurt. Not only does Sarah Palin inspire violence against Obama, but her Armageddon-believing Christian mob will do anything to put her in power (and if you win McCain, don't expect to survive your term):

    Obama Blows McCain Away in 2nd Presidential Debate

    Polls have Obama winning the debate by large margins. CNN poll has Obama winning 54-30. CBS Poll: Obama 39-27. SurveyUSA: Obama 54-29.

    The low point in the debate came when McCain, in an odd moment, referred to Obama as "that one." That one remark, alone, should insure his defeat in the election. Calling him "that one" is racially equivalent to calling black people, "those people." After the debate, McCain quickly stormed off stage while "That One" stayed and mingled with the audience.

    After Taxpayers Bailout AIG, Execs Head for Spa Resort Costing $440,000

    Dow Plunges Below 10,000

    John "The economy is sound" McCain has become the icon for the financial collapse. McCain's involvement in the Keating 5 Scandal has eerie similarities to today's worldwide banking collapse. In the 80s, McCain strong-armed federal regulators to protect Charles Keating, the criminal banker at the center of the S&L crisis. As a loyal partner to Keating, McCain accepted thousands of dollars in campaign contributions, gifts, and trips from Keating (who eventually went to prison for his crimes). Ever since, McCain has tried to polish himself as a reformer while still trying to deregulate the oil and banking industry. His ties to Phil Gramm (his economic advisor responsible for the Enron Loophole) and today's banking crisis (a direct result from deregulation), has left him naked to his past. But no matter how hard you try, you just can't polish a turd.

In fact, Palin is still a drag on the ticket. More importantly, Obama leads the electoral poll by a comfortable margin.

    Gramps also wants to delay the Friday debate (why not have Palin debate? As a VP she should be able to replace him, right?). Obama rejects McCain's delay (as well he should). “This is exactly the time when people need to hear from the candidates,” Obama said.

Taxpayers will become, in effect, indentured servants paying off their debt until we die. All this will happen without oversight, regulations, or legal accountability (read Sec. 8 of the Bill). Bush and his cronies are for this heist, and want the Bill to pass immediately without thinking about it. Obama wants oversight (see video). Do the Republicans think we are that stupid?

How ignorant can one get? Remember that McCain's economic advisor, Phil Gramm, co-sponsored the "Enron Loophole" and the banking deregulation legislation which led to the mortgage and banking crisis. McCain supported him all the way. Also, it was Phil Gramm who said that Americans were experiencing a "mental recession," and that we have become a "nation of whiners."
