Thank You John McCain
John McCain finally stood up to his supporters at a rally on Friday in Minnesota. McCain-Palin supporters have become increasingly angry and even racist. Shouts of "traitor," "treason," "terrorist," and even "off with his head" towards Obama have been heard during these rallies. On Friday McCain said enough. He called Obama "a decent person, and a person that you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States." McCain went on to say "If you want a fight, we will fight, but we will be respectful. I admire Senator Obama and his accomplishments." The crowd responded by loud booing to which McCain cut off. McCain then told the crowd that they do not need to reduce their tenacity but they have to be respectful. Wow, for once I actually agree with McCain. Thank you McCain for trying to bring back respect to your party. It is going to be a long road, as you brought them to this spot with your campaign filled with negative ads, constant smears, and your running mate continuing to tell crowds that Obama is "palling around with terrorists." So McCain while I thank you for this attempt to turn things around, you are not done.

Melissa, I couldn't agree with you more. Having lived through the devastating 60s and the assassination of three great leaders, I found myself feeling fear this week as I watched the crowds at the McCain-Palin rallies, fearing that some wacko might be emboldened to do harm to Barack Obama. Hopefully, this behavior will not continue during the final weeks of the campaign.
