"Home state racial issues test McCain; Black community recalls senator as aloof" by Sasha Issenberg, Globe Staff | August 10, 2008
PHOENIX - McCain was among 90 of 435 US House members who opposed recognizing the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, arguing the federal government did not need another holiday.
Well then, TAKE ANOTHER ONE AWAY!
Ever notice it is the ONLY DAY we honor a BLACK MAN or PEACE?
Government must feel guilty for killing him, huh?
McCain was most forcefully challenged over his opposition to a King holiday, both nationally and in Arizona, the last state to honor the civil rights leader. With the state facing a boycott that threatened tourist business and the right to host a Super Bowl, McCain recanted and joined an increasingly anxious business community to champion a 1992 referendum favoring the holiday.
Oh, so it was the MONEY that made the "straight-shooter" flip his flop, huh?
What an UNPRINCIPLED ASSHOLE!!!!
And if you can believe it, the rest of the article is about the minorities just loving McCain.
PFFFFFFTTTT!
