I heard about voter intimidation at predominately black polling places in West Virginia, a canvasser for Obama in WI getting attacked by a homeowner, 30 cars at an Obama Rally in NC with tires slashed, and a group in CO trying to block Palin's motorcade. <BR/><BR/>It is going to get worse over the next 12 days. I am hoping, like John does for the PC(USA) that the silent majority will say ENOUGH! and start demanding that people behave decently. I just hope it is sooner rather than later.Snadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04055786911610974637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-749989690228639692008-10-21T14:04:00.000-07:002008-10-21T14:04:00.000-07:00A lot what is going on here is good old fashioned ...A lot what is going on here is good old fashioned racism. The reality is sinking in that Barack Obama is going to the next President and the Republicans are desperate and will (as they are wont to do) resort to bigotry of all kinds to intimidate and to get votes. <BR/><BR/>This is intimidation. And it won't work. <BR/><BR/>Barack Obama is the next president and white bigoted racists are going to call him, "Sir."John Shuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00798753206614838161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-34518728201533363302008-10-21T13:42:00.000-07:002008-10-21T13:42:00.000-07:00"What is going on?

I am a Canadian and I like my country - but I am not 'ga ga go go' for it. It seems like there are some extreme attitudes concerning the place of America in this world - and some people in America give it an 'inflated sense of esteem'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-86789111431613978122008-10-21T06:43:00.000-07:002008-10-21T06:43:00.000-07:00We just arrived in the States for a very short vis...We just arrived in the States for a very short visit. I can't believe the political atmosphere. What is going on? One of my Republican friends told me if Obama is elected it will be the end of this country.
