That's why you have people jumping on you.
Back on topic - John Mccain is one of the most liberal senators in the entire Republican party if you look at what he's done in his career and the things he has made his priorities and the things he says. I was a big Mccain fan back in the day, if only for his hilarious appearances on the Tonight Show and the Daily Show where he and Jon Stewart always got along famously. He's one of the good guys.

Um, pretty sure one could find empirical evidence to support the fact that there may be traits that are more common among racists in the US towards minorities. Re read my last post again you're conveniently skipping the last half of my response to DFF. It has nothing to do with personal beliefs or my state of mind.
