yoavdothan,

Thanks for the quick answer. It's a very good source, but there's the slight problem of having to pay for it. Since I'm looking for the information not for a specific reason, but just as trivia and for general interest reasons, I'd be much happier with a database that won't charge me.

SARAH PALIN is ANTI-JEWISH WHO studies JEWS FOR JESUS END OF Israel with Pastor David Bruckner & Larry Koon Pastor who sees the end of Israel. Sarah Palin called Ms. Hillary Clinton a failure, At least she doesnt abuse her power by KILLING Innocent Animals Sarah Palin is a Clarence Thomas there to FOOL & DISTRACT the American people from the real issues of FORECLOSURES, GAS Prices - McSAME McCain contributors, Bankruptcies up 70% in the last 2 years, Homelessness up, a health care crisis, the list goes on...don't you dare try FOOL People by trying to take the "CHANGE" or "MORE OF THE SAME" when you are NOT "CHANGE" and you definetly are "MORE OF THE SAME" Mr. 90% BUSH VOTE Record.

Do we blame JOHN McCain for every bad JOHN out like JOHN Hagee. Obama's name is from his father who is from Kenya. I see the McCain camp of creeps - trying their BEST to tie Obama to being a Muslim conveniently around the 9/11 anniversary to promote fear. Now, before Obama was demeaned for being a 20 year member of a CHRISTIAN Church, having his kids baptized at a CHRISTIAN, and being married all at a CHRISTIAN Church. McCain is starting to come off like a DESPERATE OLD Man, Sarah PALIN is the MICHAEL VICK on HUMAN & ANIMAL Rights...
