That’s the message I got from John McCain’s latest attack ad that was put out on Youtube 15 minutes before the debate was even over.
Because Barack Obama agrees with John McCain’s policies, this shows that he’s unfit to be President? What does that say about the person who espoused those policies? I’m just trying to understand this here.

Today, it’s been disclosed that Sarah Palin’s personal Yahoo account (not the one she used to conduct official government business) had been hacked by Anonymous.
Sadly, a lot of misinformation is being circulated about just what anonymous is.

I don’t know if it’s a result of my being raised Catholic, my being raised in the Midwest, or that I was raised in a small city that isn’t connected to a major metro area but isn’t exactly rural either, but churches down here in Texas have a tendency to make me feel all kinds of uncomfortable. And it’s not entirely because I don’t find myself particularly religious anymore.
