McCain Campaign Says Obama Is Playing the ‘Race Card’
this is not a card
that either man has to play
for one is was played for him
when he came out of his mother's womb
with dark skin
for the other
it was been laid in the patchwork of a shameful
divisive history
and the more recent turns of the card
a fight against MLK in Arizona
Bill Clinton's rantings in South Carolina
Jesse Jackson's (un?)intentional whispers
and millions of people who admit
they will never vote for a black man
have taken the card out of both men's deck
it just that they now agree
that each of them see
the elephant in the room

it's really not about religion
and those who say it is
have many sins for which to seek forgiveness
his Jesus is different from theirs
but both messiahs would frown upon the demagoguery
the lowest common denominator
approach to twisting half-truths into

the only thing that turns a warm smile
into a snake-oil selling grin
is the selling of snake-oil

twenty million people
sharing a common experience
the initial feeling of panic
thirty seconds of terror
followed by the sigh
the wipe of the brow
the knowledge that this time
we dodged the bullet
we are still living and
our lives have not changed
something big is coming
but not today

McCain Says Obama Plays Politics on Iraq
McCain Says Obama Plays Politics on Iraq
it is sad
to see a great man
take ignoble actions
standing eye to eye
two honorable adversaries
held their fire
until one man felt his future slide
and drew his wretched gun
to challenge his opponent's heart
and blew away his own integrity
