"Wanda is a working, single mother, and shouldn't have to pay increased taxes," said McCain.  "I trust her to do a better job with her own money than the government, but under Senator Obama's tax policies, she wouldn't have enough cash to pay her rent, compensate her pimp and purchase a supply of clean needles.

"Let's not fall into the trap of judging blackness by the color of a man's skin," said McCain.  "I am proud to be a black American.  The tint of my exterior may reflect my albino heritage, but in my heart I am blacker than the decaying infra-structure of our inner cities."]]></description>
