Well, I'm watching Wright on CNN and he says that whats going on with his remarks is an attack on the Black Church and not on him. I haven't seen any attack on him or the black church.
There have been bomb threats on the church, brad. Check out Wright's interview with Bill Moyers.

This is absolutely ridiculous. The same kind of grade-A BS that means if you don't vote for Hillary it makes you sexist.
You honestly believe that if you don't vote for Obama you will be labelled a racist?
Are you getting this from anything Obama said?

Just vote for the candidate who comes closest to representing your views and beliefs.

This time around for me the choice is between a grumpy old fart, a liar and a mirage.

We can choose the guy who thinks that being a war hero makes him the best candidate, even though the stress of the job would probably kill him in his first term. Mccain's VP is therefore a very important factor in my view. If you don't like him, then there's Hillary, who I'm sure will be under sniper fire from the Secret Service if she's the nominee because they hate her guts. Then there's Mister Mirage....I look cool, I sound cool, but I don't actually say anything.

These days it seems that all American elections consist of is "who do I hate the least?"

What my friend Wes calls the "evil of two lessers"... American Idol has more going for it than our electoral process it seems.

The three candidates left standing are better than any serious candidates seen in a long while, IMO. And as for debates, I don't blame him. That last debate was a joke.

McCain has to win, Hillary Clinton will have us into war in no time and if we have Obama we will have a "Black Supremacist" dictating America.

What war would Hillary get us into? She said she "loaths" the military. I wonder if she has changed her opinion on the subject?

Just because someone says it doesn't make it true.

Our president said he would track down Al Qaeda, but that never happened, did it? We were sidetracked with his own imperialistic conquest of Iraq, a nation which despised terrorists to begin with and kept them out with all means available. Then when Hussein was removed from power, the terrorists poured into Iraq since it had such a weak border defence and military defence system in general, making it incredibly easy to get in. They weren't in there to begin with, but they are now.

If he wanted Osama bin Laden as badly as he claimed, he had to look no further than the section of the Hindu Kush that runs through Afghanistan. Now, he's probably relocated to Pakistan, but we're not sure anymore (we were when the war began, but he's long gone by now for safety reasons).

It's called a wild imagination.

No. In the verbal sense, not physical. He says the hoopla about him is actually an attack on the black church.

Maybe I should have put it in quotes or something or spent moretime on the post. If you don't agree with what Wright says or if you don't like what he says you are attacking blacks. Thats the impression I get from him.

But it's in the rules that in the end the Party can choose who they think is the most electable. So much for democracy! Just goes to show voting doesn't mean squat. You can win the vote and still not be the Democratic nominee and you can win the vote and still not be president.
Myself? I was going to vote for McCain but it's to the point that his bs has turned me off also. I'm probably just not going to vote at all this time around.

For the first vote, all the pledged delegates must vote the way they did at the primary. The SDs can vote how they want. If there is no winner as a result of that vote, then all the delegates are free to vote any way they like.

Obama, for the first time in two years, appeared on Fox this week and seems to have pissed off a lot of liberal bloggers. KEWL


Ok everyone sing it now!


"You've lost that lovin' feeling
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone, wooooooh
Now there's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you
And now your're starting to criticize little things I do
It makes me just feel like crying, baby
'Cause baby, something in you is dying"


Thank you. Thank you very much




http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/200...distanc-1.html

"Liberal bloggers are expressing outrage over Barack Obama's appearance this weekend on Fox News, accusing the Democratic presidential front-runner of kowtowing to the network's conservative viewers, and throwing his online supporters to the wolves."

So who is more scared?:hmm:

Neither of them is scared. She has the better platform and he has the better campaign. If Obama's campaign team had been working for Hillary, this would all have been over by Super Tuesday. Thankfully, this nonsense will all be over in a couple of months.....a lot sooner if Hillary loses NC and Indiana.
