Great information for us to know, it's time to expose the true him, now that we have Hillary out of the way.
I agree Vicki, I wish the media would also stop talking about Obama's pastor problems and focus on how McCain has a nutjob pastor who believes the anti-christ is a Jewish Gay man, among his insults of Catholics and his comment that Katrina was God's punishment for a scheduled gay pride parade.
Thanks for this info. McCain is trying to pretend he's such a moderate. We all know he really isn't. I'm linking to your blog.
