And not until Barack repeats the Conservative talking points can he be taken at his word.<BR/>It is a subtle form of prejudice to establish a double standard in which the minority candidate is made out to be that shady(no pun intended) character that cannot be trusted under any circumstances. Put away your purses!<BR/>McCain/Palin are given the benefit of the doubt despite their dubious pasts. Todd Palin was flirting with seccessionist groups, but that's OK.Sarah was hanging out with witch doctors, but that's OK.<BR/>We know who these people really are, right?Young 4-Eyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04159195318322896154noreply@blogger.com
