nah she doesn't drive a Caddy, and I believe in karma, she'll get herself caught some day. her ex is a scank that i would hate to see her daughter go live with should I turn her in. It's best to just cut ties. I live 3000 miles away from her and don't see her so no skin off my back. never said that she was the norm, but the players do exist. i also know some that work their butts off to make ends meet and still need assistance. it's just that people like this girl that i know make bad names for those that are trying. Our government has to do more to get people motivated to make it on their own without assistance, ie use the system, not abuse the system. it's a shame they make it easy for some to continue to abuse it.

As the country rapidly diversifies, Republicans are presenting a convention that is almost entirely white.


Only 36 of the 2,380 delegates seated on the convention floor are black, the lowest number since the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies began tracking diversity at political conventions 40 years ago. Each night, the overwhelmingly white audience watches a series of white politicians step to the lectern — a visual reminder that no black Republican has served as a governor, U.S. senator or U.S. House member in the past six years.


“It’s hard to look around and not get frustrated,” said Michael S. Steele, a black Republican and former lieutenant governor of Maryland. “You almost have to think, ‘Wait. How did it come to this?’ “

I appreciate your view and if it's true he knew (and no one will ever know unless the aunt elects to speak out) I'd be disappointed if he offered no help as well.


Now do you mind if I ask a question (and I know he has your vote for other reasons and that's not likely to change so this question is not about that)?

Do you see me complaining about people getting help with their housing expenses, subsidized by the Government? NO! BUT I will complain about our elected officials getting big expense accounts and fancy meals and junkets to who knows where. I complain about the wealthy getting MORE, not the poor getting a little help! But I'm a Liberal. I CARE about people LESS fortunate, not people MORe fortunate!

McCain doesn't give two hoots about the Middle Class.

Exactly! Once I got a settlement, had to live on it for 2.5 years while I was putting myself through college with 3 kids to support. My older sister became real close during that time, always needed just a few dollars even though she was working and had more disposable income than I did. Soon as the money ran out she disappeared. Some relatives are like that, others you only see for weddings, baptisms, and funerals. I hardly think showing up for his swearing in ceremony qualifies as a close relationship. Nor do I think he was aware of her legal status. Certainly with the kind of campaign he has run, and the muck raking the McCain campaign has done, it would be out of character for him to knowingly let this messy bit of family business to be left out there if he was aware of it. Which only supports my belief that he didn't know - otherwise where is the upside for him? It simply doesn't exist.
