Midnight in the gables of good and evil
CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- A hand-painted sign on a bedsheet at John McCain's salsa-paced midnight rally here pushes the "socialism" attack on Barack Obama to its logical conclusion:
"In 1959, Cuba Got 'Change.' In 2008, Vote McCain-Palin."

Funny . McCain supports convicted Cuban terrorists Roberto Martin Perez, Eduardo Arocena and Orlando Bosch. Ayers can't hold a candle to them.
Barack Obama calles the whites gun weilding racist but it seems to me that he is more racist then anyone else and is trying to finish the job that the terrorist started on Sep.11.I have swore to protect this great Country from foreign and domestic terrorist and obama wants to hand it over to them.John McCain deserves the chance to be President of the United States more than Obama ever will and
McCain is the one who will be for change not Obama as he claims. he didn't even take the rest of his family with him to see his sick grandmother?his brother is starving over Kenya and he sends him nothing?yet Obama talks about america has to make sacrifaces what sacriface is he willing to do?I'll tell you nothing is what sacrifaces is willing to do.John has more courage in his hand then obama has in his entire body and John isn't afraid to stand up against anyone no matter
what.He has all ready proving that he's willing to do that.Obama is a liar,and cheat.
Obama is hoping that we are stupid and vote for him and I cannot allow him to
destroy the Country i love and we must come together as americans not by race,creed,or color and face are fears as one and stop Obama and his terrorist pals.
Yes Roberto Martin Perez was convicted, in Cuba, served 30 years of political prison, for opposing a despotic socialist regime. Orlando Bosch has never been convicted of anything, nor is he supported by McCain. Eduardo Arocena is a political prisoner convicted and serving 700 years for trying to free his country of a communist dictator. BIll Ayers, on the other hand, wanted to overthrow a democracy to create a a communist system in the USA. Certainly, there is a huge difference.
Hey Alex,
Terrorism is Terrorism and Bill Ayers was never convicted either. McCain did send $448,000.00 to the PLO
Those Cuban terrorists murdered innocent airline passengers, innocent tourists and Cuban Americans who were for talking to Cuba. Whatever they WANTED and Ayers WANTED doesn't matter compared to the innocent blood they spilled all over.
