Could you just explain a bit more of what your post is about?

It's a political discussion about the McCain-Palin divisive tactic which apparently, Senator McCain has denied that any of the race-baiting provocations occured during his rallies.

Some very intresting ideas and comments. I came across this page whilst looking for cheaper energy prices [/url]http://cheaperenergy.wordpress.com My bills haven risen by 35% this year and am now facing yet another increase by these greedy energy companies. (Thankfully I only rent so don't have to worry about a mortgage as well.) Has anyone tried this green and cheap renewable energy? If so, be intrested to know how it worked for you.

I did use the highlighter tool, but it's very limited with IE browser.   I thought I had linked it to an external blog website.  Sorry about the snafu of a rookie, thanks for everyone's patience.

The post is about some perspectives on the nature of campaigning strategies and methods of the Republican party.  It is a concern that they've been inciting their supporters during their rallies. 

Both Republican presidential and vice presidential candidates have done little to tone down their race-baiting innuendos and comments to incite a mob mentality during their rallies.  Last Friday, Senator McCain toned down one of his supporter's worries about Senator Obama.  Since then, Ms. Palin has re-ratcheted up her rhetoric and earlier today in Scranton, Pennsylvania, when someone shouted, "Kill him", no one from McCain-Palin campaign stop this supporter. Another incident occurred at another of Governor Palin's Virginia rally yesterday, someone in the crowd shouted out, "Obama bin lying" to her, she didn't stop or discourage these unhinged elements in any of her rallies to date.   The concern is that this isn't just an isolated incident, but rather a disturbing pattern of toxic tactic that is completely unnecessary. 

My discussion is to engage voters to become interested and vote on 11/4.  Racial intolerance is a real problem that needs to be addressed instead of dancing around the issue. 

I've been talking with many voters and people who are quite honest about their opinions, both positive and negative views, and the issue of race does come up.

The dialogues are revealing enough for me to raise some concerns.
