Take a Closer Look

>> John McCain's endorsements from extreme right wing ministers scares me. Rev. Rod Parsley of central Ohio, routinely invites extremists like Ann Coulter and Oliver North to speak at his church. Parsley's sermons attacking Muslims and gays just makes me sick. I thought that ministers were to preach about God's love. Rev. Hagee, who insults Catholics with his sermons, is not someone who I'd look to for spiritual guidance. However, McCain looks to these crazy guys for advice???? Would a President McCain allow either of these reverends in the White House even though they attack various Americans like Muslims, Catholics, gays, and others? I think that McCain's ties to these lunatic ministers should make us question his ability to be an inclusive President. Check out this video about McCain.



>> Looks like someone has been working hard to fill his own pockets. Here is another amazing story about a greedy Republican. U.S. News:

Shelby's Ties To Mortgage Industry Noted On its front page, the New York Times reports in a front page story that GOP Sen. Richard C. Shelby "has made millions as a title insurance executive, landlord and real estate developer." Now, with "the mortgage mess fueling a national economic slowdown," he "has more say over the revamping of housing finance laws than almost anyone else in Congress." But "over the years, his critics say, Mr. Shelby's ties to the mortgage industry and the Alabama real estate market, and the generous campaign donations he receives from financial services companies, have distorted his perspective and led him to delay critical legislative remedies."

Shelby is making bundles of money while people in Alabama and the rest of the country lose their homes. I guess some people might describe his behavior and legislative actions as pure greed. Shame on Shelby!
