But think.

It was built by slaves.

Today their descendants living in DC have no voting rights for any representatives who can vote on the floor of Congress.

They are unequal under the law to you and me.

And you care more about a statement on a button ?

Take the button away, DC is still a plantation and few "progressives" give a shit about a real deprivation of ral voting rights affecting what, about 300,000 black folks living today.

Any action taken by a republican can be attributed to Clinton people? Because there are people online claiming (who are probably a bunch of repub dirty tricksters) to be defecting from the Clinton camp to the McCain camp?

Facebook?

Ducks?

Some gears have certainly slipped in the past few months, or else I just wasn't paying close enough attention before.

Get a grasp of logic, Will. Just because some Clinton supporters now support the Republican candidate doesn't mean that anything the Republicans do can be attributed to Clinton supporters. This button came from the state Republican party.

I searched for "Obama," "Barack," even "Hussein" ... nuthin.
So I googled anti-Obama buttons, and man, those people have so little going on! It's all like "I saw Obama chasing Osama on a llama," "Osama loves Obama"... the wittiest (if you can call it that) is "Barack is all talk." They got nuthin! Nuth - thin!!

Oh, except he'll turn the "White House" into the "Wright House"! Get it? Get it?
