What do you think? Is it possible that the ugly words and actions of some of the conservative Republicans reveal their racist beliefs? I don't even want to repeat the words that some Republicans have used. Many of these same conservative Republicans consider themselves religious. How can they call themselves religious yet be racists?
- - -Looks like the McCain-Palin people are lying about their crowd sizes again.
WVEC:
...The Virginia Beach Fire Marshal's office estimated the size of the crowd to be 12,000. A McCain campaign spokeswoman claimed the crowd size was 25,000, but the Convention Center's capacity is only 16,000....
- - - McCain released his new economic plan (Huffington Post). The Obama campaign responded quickly:
"John McCain's latest gambit is a day late and 101 million middle-class families short. McCain's plan would spend $300 billion to bailout the same irresponsible Wall Street banks that got us into this mess without doing anything to help jumpstart job growth for America's middle class. His plan continues to provide no tax relief at all to 101 million hardworking families, including 97 percent of senior citizens, and it does nothing to cut taxes for small businesses or give them access to credit. Senator McCain also shows how little he understands the economy by offering lower capital gains rates in a year in which people don't have an awful lot of capital gains. His trickle-down, ideological recipes won't strengthen our economy and grow our middle-class, but Barack Obama's pro-jobs, pro-family economic policies will," said Obama-Biden campaign spokesman Bill Burton.
Obviously, McCain still doesn't understand how the middle class is hurting. I guess when you own 7 homes and 13 cars, you just don't understand how some people are struggling to feed their families.
- - - I just heard an Obama radio ad. It said something like "....since McCain has no solution to fix the economy, the only thing he has left are smears..."
