The damn GOP is really getting on my nerves. The desperate McCain/Palin hate machine has tried to tie "liberals" with socialism and being un-American.
Even my esteemed...cough, cough, congressman claimed yesterday at another hate rally that me and others liberals, "hate real Americans." This kinda of BS the gop is pulling is causing more and more division in this country. All in the name of trying to get the old fart and the bimbo elected.

Congressman admits saying, 'Liberals hate real Americans'

From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
Hayes is facing a tough reelection race.
(CNN) — A North Carolina congressman locked in a tight re-election race admitted Tuesday to recently telling a crowd of John McCain supporters that "liberals hate real Americans," the latest in a string of comments from Republicans that appear to question Democrats' patriotism.
Rep. Robin Hayes, a five-term Republican who has been heavily targeted by Democrats this election cycle, first denied making the remarks, but conceded Monday afternoon that he was accurately quoted.
"After reading it, there is no doubt that it came out completely the wrong way," Hayes said. “I actually was trying to work to keep the crowd as respectful as possible, so this is definitely not what I intended."
The comments came at a McCain rally in Concord, North Carolina Saturday before the Arizona senator or members of his staff had arrived at the event. As first reported by the New York Observer, Hayes said, "Liberals hate real Americans that work and achieve and believe in God."
Hayes also told the raucous crowd to make sure "we don't say something stupid, make sure we don't say something we don't mean," warning the news media would likely distort such remarks.
In his statement Tuesday, Hayes suggested he meant to differentiate between the liberal and conservative philosophies rather than directly impugn the patriotism of his opponents.
"Liberals are advocating higher taxes, which I believe punish success — and they are advocating policies like gay marriage that I feel undermine strong families," he said. "We have a strong difference of opinion about the future of our nation, but obviously this was the wrong way to get that difference of opinion across."

BTW, Sara the bimbo goes around trying to tie Sen. Obama to socialism yet she is redistributing the wealth in her own damn state!!! Who's the socialist? Alaska is in the process of mailing out checks to Alaskans from the windfall profits tax that she supported!!
This from the Seattle Times:
From the Seattle Times:
Republicans in Congress this June united to defeat a proposed windfall tax on oil companies, deriding it as a bad idea that would discourage investment in U.S. oil exploration.
Things worked out far differently in the GOP stronghold of Alaska, a state whose economic fate is closely tied to the oil industry.
Over the opposition of oil companies, Republican Gov. Sarah Palin and Alaska's Legislature last year approved a major increase in taxes on the oil industry -- a step that has generated stunning new wealth for the state as oil prices soared.
