AP: Palin Plays the Race Card Against Obama

For those how may have forgotten... The Lincoln Savings scandel led to the Keating Five political scandal, in which five U.S. senators were implicated in an influence-peddling scheme. It was named for Charles Keating, who headed Lincoln Savings and made $300,000 as political contributions to them in the 1980s. Three of those senators – Alan Cranston (D-CA), Don Riegle (D-MI), and Dennis DeConcini (D-AZ) – found their political careers cut short as a result. Two others – John Glenn (D-OH) and John McCain (R-AZ) – were rebuked by the Senate Ethics Committee for exercising "poor judgment" for intervening with the federal regulators on behalf of Keating. I think it may be time to start reminding people about this...especially Sarah Palin  (Yesterday | post #19)

Massachusetts to Claim Bigger Piece of Gay Pie

What time is that Klan meeting mimosa? I have bee with my partner for over 10 years and we have a pair of happy healthy, fat and sassy 20 month old twins... Every fact you just put forth in your comment is incorrect or an outright lie. You are a bigot. The times are changing and that crap you are spouting is not flying anymore... Sell your inbred homophobic crap someplace else.  (Jul 19, 2008 | post #3)

Republicans Lighting The Gay Reichstag Fire Again: Federal Marr...

I am not straight and did not "choose" to be not straight... and this is what you seem not to get... and to refuse to get that after all the evidence says that is the case could well make your attitude about gays fall into the realm of bigotry The Republicans know there are those who are bigoted against gays out there and my point is that because they have no plan to fix the problems currently facing this country they are pandering to those bigotries. Watch as the election progresses, Race will also become a problem as well.  (Jul 7, 2008 | post #31)
