What about Mccain voting against Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. day of recognition? ?

Mccain and Palin is sticking to Obama's past associations and affiliations, but Mccain was against MLK day. But Mccain is for all of the American people but he voted against MLK holiday because he didn't think it was relevant. Oh, he had absolutely no problem with columbus day though (its lower case for a reason)!!!!! This is what he said:

"I voted in my first, I think it was my first year in congress against then... I began to learn and I studied and people talked to me and I not supported it but I fought very hard in my home state of Arizona for recognition against a Governor who was against my own party. I had not been involved in the issue. I had come from being in the military to running for Congress in a state that did not have a very large African American population and it had not been in issue. It just simply had not been.”

In a February 2000 interview with ABC News, McCain said his initial opposition to a holiday was based on his belief that “it was not necessary to have another federal holiday, that it cost too much money, that other presidents were not recognized.”

But he's for the people...This man was what 46 and still not understanding to what the Civil Rights movement was and is about or MLK and his assassination by the government!!!!!!!!!!! And people don't want to bring race into this, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was born in 1937 and voted against his day of recognition in congress in 1983. In 2000 it was acknowledged nationally. Look at the timeline. But he is for the people, Palin is for the people!!!! I'm not calling anybody a racist; i'm just calling it how it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Caucasion, African American, Hispanic, African, Asian... doesn't matter. I am ashamed regardless of what my ethnicity is. How erratic and ignorant he was then, you can't tell me that some of his associates were not racist, prolly called people all kind of n****s, sp**s, ch****s and the other ones I don't feel like thinking about!!!!!
