One of MANY reasons given in the article: "After he left office, the city agreed to pay $327,000 to a black police officer who was fired because he had testified before the City Council about police brutality toward blacks.

Ron Paul's Martin Luther King Day Money Bomb: Epic Failure
Unlike the record-breaking money bombs on November 5th and the Boston Tea Party, the Martin Luther King Day money bomb is an epic failure.

Past haunts McCain here - St. Petersburg Times
JACKSONVILLE - Conservative talk radio pundits roar at him. Party insiders quietly grind their teeth. Columnist George Will calls him a closet Democrat.

Ron Paul Supporters Invent "Where's Pauldo?" Internet Game
A new Internet game based on the popular "Where's Waldo?" series of children's books is becoming popular among supporters of GOP primary candidate Ron Paul.

Vets Against McCain

More on Bipartisanship, Obama, and Shifting Alliances

CNN Offends Blacks, Women and Black Women in a single move
CNN posted a story saying how black women were being forced to decide between race and gender with Obama and Clinton.

Well, he black so I may vote for him... "
