The real question is when tax breakes are given who should they be given TO...supporters of Obama say they should go to the middle class, supporters of mccain say they should go to the super rich. Mccain has become a lying hipcorite and I am starting to wonder if Sarah Palin is seriously a test to see how low americns will lower there standards until there is a MAJOR outcry.

I believe they have been taken down a road by McCain and Palin that has lead them to this fear - this fear is coming out as hate. I really wish only the facts were being discussed and the crazy rhetoric (sp?) that has been thrown around wasn't. While I get that it has gone back and forth on both sides I feel like McCain/Palin have pushed things to a point where they can't fix it. If Obama wins - how will McCain fix this. He will have to come out and say something to assure all the people he has riled up that it was just campaigning and not anything to truely fear.

There is a moment in a crowd when something goes from mere yelling to a feeling of danger, and that's what we witnessed. As photographers and police raced to the scene, the crowd elevated from stable to fast-moving scrum, and the two men were surrounded on all sides as we raced to the circle. The event maybe lasted a minute, two at the most, before police competently managed to hustle the two away from the scene and out of the danger zone. Only FiveThirtyEight tracked the two men down for comment, a quarter mile down the street. "People were screaming 'Terrorist!' 'Communist!' 'Socialist!'" Sorando said when we caught up with him. "I had a guy tell me he was gonna kill me." Asked what had precipitated the event, "We were just chanting 'Obama!' and holding our signs. That was it. And the crowd suddenly got crazy."<< <a href="http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/10/mccain-miami-rally-getting-ugly-down.html" target="_blank">http://www.fivethirtyeight.com...own.html</a>
