I am glad to hear you address the issues. You are a rare bird, Heavy, most Americans care about race and do so in a negative way. Vote for McCain then. Whatever his middle name is. Whatever his religion is. Vote against Barack Hussein Obama. Regardless of his religion or his middle name. And I will vote against McCain.

I don't care that he is born in Panama, or that he is Protestant, or that his ancestors are Catholic, or that Irish separatists may want to harm America if he is president, or that his first name sounds Jewish. I don't even care that he is a serial adulterer who dumped his first wife who waited for him for 5 years with his children. I don't especially care that he is married to a drug addict adulteress and thief who stole from a charity. All I care about like you, is his associates. Like Bush and Cheney. And his judgment, like Iraq and his failure to encourage real action in Afghanistan, and raising taxes to pay for these wars. And his positions, like even extra tax breaks for the wealthiest one percent or taking away a woman's right to choose. So Heavy, we agree to disagree for all the right ISSUES instead of focusing on our candidate's identity, religion, race, personal life. ...
