"myfoxhouston"? what's with that? you're not one of those who think
obama is a muslim too, are you? i know mccain supporters who are
blatantly and unapologetically racist...does that identify your guy?

Apparently it is the Fox network station out of Houston. I've never
judged a man by his religion. If McCain's supporters who are racist
work for him and display racist posters, he should get rid of them.
The man is running for POTUS; he should have NO connection with Che
Guevara or any other Communist revolutionary. Guevara AND Kennedy?
What a team......

You seem to have really taken my mention of Kennedy and run with it.
Here's my "fear" with Kennedy - note it has nothing to do with Teddy's
personal, er, foibles:

I haven't really kept up with Teddy in Congress and at home as of late,
but he's still a Kennedy and I don't see him endorsing Obama (or anyone
else) simply because, gosh darnit, it'd be good for the ol' US of A.
Surely, Obama knew when he got a call from them (the Kennedy machine),
it was a quid pro quo kinda thing, and that's giving him the benefit of
the doubt that HE didn't make the call out. If had been just Caroline
with a little jungle fever and a touch of the old "he's just like my
daddy, St. Jack of Camelot," maybe - not likely, but a slight maybe - it
was simple, genuine rah, rah, but with whole machine cranked up? No
way, no how. So, IAC, Obama deals or he doesn't. Obama takes the call.
That leaves only a coupla-three explanations: first, he is a pol, and
that's what young pols do - take scratch-my-back calls from old pols,
or, two, he's politically VERY naive and actually told himself that
Kennedy was just another rich white swooner with a man-crush, or three,
he's dumber than a sack of wet biscuits. Personally, I pretty much
scratch option three smooth off the list and two don't look real
promising either, so that leaves us with option one. For all the
rah-rah and hope horse****, at the end of the day, he's a pol. Good.
He's running for POTUS. He damned well better be. I didn't think he
was out to dinner one night several years ago, got slipped a mickey, and
awoke to find that he had been Shanghaied into the Illinois House. Which
brings us back to a paraphrasing of my question: just what kind of pol
is this sumbitch, what did that piece of **** Kennedy get out of the
deal, and just bad is it gonna wind up ****ing _me_?
