It makes perfect sense. As a southern Democrat who voted for Hillary, I can not in good stead vote for man such as Obama who has no experience and is going to use, more than likely, race as an issue to harm whites. Not a pleasant thought for southerners. I can understand what Rush said. It makes perfect sense.

This was when a desperate Bush Jr campaign took the McCain's adoption of two dark-complexioned orphans from Bangladesh, and turned that into a sneaky, phone-based rumor attack claiming that the children were the illegitimate product of McCain's extramarital affair with a black American woman! As if that wasn't enough of a heartless smear, the Bush/Rove team used that same automated phone rumor technique to spread the idea that McCain's 5 years as a POW in North Vietnam had left him mentally and emotionally unfit to be U.S. President! Good Lord! Is that the patriotic way those dreamland-only-combat-veterans, Bush Jr, Cheney and Rove go about Supporting and Honoring the real Troops and their sacrifices?? With GOP armchair-warrior friends like that, who needs enemies? When Rush Limbaugh talks about McCain’s Republican “friends”, could he be referring to the South Carolina primary in 2000?
