Subject: Mavericks and Community Organizers

McCain and Palin are the bridge to nowhere. They call themselves the "original mavericks" well okay.... you see Samuel Augustus Maverick from whom the term was later coined was a white slave owner born on a South Carolina Plantation (Montpelier) who supported the confederacy during the Civil War, and did not brand his cattle so he could lay claim to any unbranded cattle that wandered onto his 385,000 acre ranch in Texas. So is the McCain Palin ticket simply telling America that they are white supremacists and secessionists who advocate an economic plan that promotes the wealthy stealing from the working class? This would certainly be in concert with the Palin Alaska first support, John McCain voting against minimum wage increases, the McCain support for the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, privatizing social security, and the constant longing for war while ignoring the needs of our veterans. And my goodness does it stink around here or has Sarah Palin just entered the room, because she sure does shovel the shit, and you can't throw that kind of crap around without some of it sticking to the bottom of your shoe. For it, then against it, but whatever you do keep it. It was never the "Bridge to Nowhere" Sarah Palin longed for, it was all of our hard earned cash she coveted and she never gave it back. Sarah is against lobbyists unless of course she has hired them. John McCain will bring change to Washington alright because he will spend all the cash leaving us begging for pennies. John McCain supports the Iraq War, he supports the lies that led us to war, he supports the outing of a covert CIA agent lessening our security here at home, and he supports on his ticket a fool that has described the Iraq War as "God's War". John McCain supports an economic debacle that has spent our surplus and placed us so deep in debt it will be the burden for generations to come. John McCain supports the privatization of Social Security, and has hugged and maybe kissed just a little a President who has placed more of our citizens in poverty, and on soup kitchen lines, and without health care than any President in our history. and in closing........ Jesus was a community organizer, Pilot was a governor.
