My daughter called me about a thread on 2+2 about me voting for McCain. According to some of them, I?m a racist and am going to hell because I did so.

That was back before it was ?fashionable? to have blacks as friends. And if I go to hell, it won?t be because I voted McCain. I guess it was onl, technorati.com
