What a classy comment that was. I've heard 2 year olds with better come back lines. LOL.
To no name that says we have no class, since all of your family members are McCain supporters, which one of them dropped you on your head? Maybe you are adopted.
Get over yourself. You don't have as much class as you'd like to think you do. And as far as McCain supporters having more class... HA! So I guess all the slandering and derogatory comments made on other articles by McCain voters is classy. My whole family are McCain supporters and I do not find their emails that are sent to me classy at all.
