Palin breaks from McCain and lets her true colors show.

What colors would they be?  The colors of bigotry.

Craig what was your intent to promote that video?

No Jodi it wasn't.  I just see so many other videos posted (Obama and McCain) that I thought all of you would want to see that one.  As I've mentioned before, I've yet to decide on my vote.

No harm was intended from the video.

Couple of interesting updates:

John Stewart's reaction to Palin's "Pro-America" crap.

McCain supporters rise to the occasion, I'm happy to report.  (Where are these guys and can we clone them???)

That second video you just linked made me feel good to see, Mike.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

If she's a bigot for being against gay marriage then Obama and Biden are bigots too, right?

Jodi, the world ain't perfect.  It is good to see what all is being thrown out there though.  Although I'm not offended, I am dissapointed that there are people (on both sides) that feel the need to put those types of things together.

Craig I just can't help feeling sick, as a Mom to think that my sons death would be used in such a manner, breaks my heart. I am sorry but any candidate that has supporters like the kind that makes that kind of video, should never be validated, by having being elected. To my knowledge I have never seen such a vile political video in my life. This election has brought out some real kooks.

Although I understand the passion, Jodi, I can't get behind the notion of not wanting a certain candidate to get into office because of the kinds of supporters they have.  There are awful, terrible, rotten people of all strips supporting all candidates no matter what party they come from.  Bush has them.  Clinton had them.  Reagan, Carter, and Nixon too.  It's whether or not the candidate validates any of a number of kooks and wackos that normally have no affiliation with the candidate past their desire to see them win.  I can't hold a public figure accountable for the kind of people that are attracted to them for any of a number of different reasons.

"Palin breaks from McCain and lets her true colors show."

Like the Mary Schiavo case, these so-called conservatives are for the Federal government ignoring "State's rights" when it serves the authority of the Church.

I totally agree with you, Matt.  However, given the devisive rhetoric of the McCain/Palin campaign, I find these people a reflection of the candidates ... and the Neo-Cons, to whom I hope we can finally say good riddance.
