McCain & Palin Set This Country Back And Rely On Fear & Ignorance

HALF PAGE AD TAKEN OUT IN LOCAL NEWSPAPER BY AN 81 YEAR OLD MAN

My hubby and I moved to a small town in Texas because it was a reminder of a Norman Rockwell post card. Beautiful little town with a river running through it full of small quaint shops. It took us a year to realize that this little town is not quite so Norman Rockwell. During this election a huge sign was erected in the middle of the town for McCain. You will not find one Obama sign here and you dare not speak his name if you want to work here and survive here. The one huge sign of McCain and other signs of McCain plastered all over town and around the country side states very loudly that this town has an opinion that you dare not disagree with. We also learned (we are naive I suppose) that it is a confederate town. Being from Colorado I did not have any idea what the Confederacy was. Maybe I didn't pay attention in school but I don't remember being taught that period and if so, not much was said. I did not come from a racist family so this has been a shock to me and this election has been a real eye opener.
I am sharing this article although I have blackened out the mans name because I think people have the right to see what lurks in this country in the year 2008. I thought we as a country had grown up, become more intelligent but have realized that we have not. I have realized that McCain and Palin through their "dirty campaigning" has set this country back to a time I don't want to know or remember!-Mem
