“BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA IS NOT FROM AMERICA, IS A TERRORIST AND A MUSLIM!” Shout McCain-Palin.
Man, these guys have reached an all-time low, even for the GOP. They are trying to distract us from thinking about the economy.
At a Florida GOP rally, a Sheriff in full black regalia [1] announced that on November 4th the voters there “would leave Barack HUSSEIN Obama wonderin’ what happened!” That sheriff is now under investigation for violations of the Hatch Act which prohibits political activity while in uniform.
We have Gov. Sarah a.k.a. “Caribou Barbie” Palin running around the country accusing Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama of “pallin’ around with terrorists!” Hey, Caribou Barbie, what’s that about people who live in glass houses? [2]
Gov. Palin will repeat any lie she is able because, in her mind, she is on a mission from God. I swear if I hear another dropped ending “g” [3]from Caribou Barbie, I’m a gonna be barfin’, you betcha!
And there are the viral e-mail campaigns [4]about Sen. Obama’s nationality, Muslim faith, and such which smack of George W. Bush and Karl Rove’s famous “McCain is insane” and “McCain fathered an illegitimate child of color” smears against John McCain in the run-up to the GOP South Carolina primary in 2000.
So, here’s the major distraction from McCain-Palin fueled by Karl Rove to keep people from thinking about the economy [5] and the mess it’s been made of by George W. Bush and John McCain, who admits he votes with Bush 90% of the time, and on the “most transcendent issues” even more than 90% of the time.

John McCain publicly bemoaned the plight of those who lost their homes to foreclosure in the second debate. But, even before the debate, McCain and his GOP supporters had launched a campaign to purge voter rolls [6] of those which had lost their homes to foreclosure in Michigan.
The McCain and GOP efforts in Michigan prompted a lawsuit which alleged the campaign was racially discriminatory in its intention and effect as it targeted areas where there were both high Democratic votes and significant African American and Hispanic populations. In the suit filed in the District Court of Michigan the long history of racially discriminatory practices of the GOP/RNC are recounted, the many voter discrimination lawsuits filed against and lost by the GOP/RNC are recounted. Most prominently, the lawsuit filed in the District Court in New Jersey [7]which resulted in a consent decree by the RNC to refrain from activities which suppress minority votes is mentioned in detail.
So, as we go forward to Election Day on November 4, 2008, it is clear that the McCain-Palin campaign wants two things It doesn’t don’t want you to think about how George W. Bush, John McCain and the GOP have made a shambles of our economy and of middle class access to the American Dream. And they don’t want African-Americans, Hispanics or anyone who has lost their home to foreclosure to vote.
