I think I’ll pass on the whose ‘associations’ are worse debate because it can go back and forth for ages when we're talking about politicians, but I do have to comment that you run a slippery slope when you say someone like Robert Byrd was only a ‘racist’ when he was a member of KKK for 2 years and even 5 years after leaving wrote a letter to the Grand Wizard stating “The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia and in every state in the nation.” (Wikipedia) Do you not consider the KKK terrorists?

Anyway, I could've really cared less about any of McCain's past associations, but he MUST know when he makes an issue of someone's elses past associations that his own past associations might come to light and be scrutinzed? Politicians are SO stupid when it comes to hypocrasy (and yes, I mean Obama too because their camp does the same damn thing)! IMO most people, unless it suits them politically, do not equate your character with people of questionable character that you have loosely associated with. Yeah, maybe if you are close personal friends and have a proven relationship and fondness for each other I might look closer. Otherwise, a $200.00 campaign contribution and a joint membership on a board aren't making most people bat an eye obviously.

The trouble with words is I think the insinuation that somehow Obama is palling around and chummy chummy with a terrorist and therefore believes it is okay to BE a terrorist (which lets face it McCain/Palin is insinuating if not outright saying) are turning people into radicals. You can see it in the campaign stops. I honestly did not think I’d see any real people that I know spewing these radical ideals and it only took a day for me to proven wrong. McCain/Palin are riling up this frenzy and then their campaign comes out and says they don’t approve of the use of the name “Hussein”. That one had me cracking up!

As for BOHICA, Americans have been through it since 2000 and most predicted a bad outcome. Unfortunately, they were right. If Obama is elected I only hope he lives long enough to prove them wrong. Time will tell.
