Re: Overtones of the 3rd Reich? (4.00 / 3)

Who's advising McCain. No kidding.

My snarky response to Jerome is, if it was intentional, McCain's ready to give up the one vote he has securely in the bag: the Nazi skinheads.

Come spend a few days in the rural South. I assure you: They vote. Especially when the other guy on the ballot is a black dude named Barack Obama.

I'll grant you Duke (since Louisiana is such a lost cause), but give some credit to North Carolinians. It seems they might join the rest of us in the 21st Century this year. They're at least putting in some effort to make up for Helms.
