that i do agree with. plus i'd love to give a big fuck you to all the racist red necks who wouldn't vote for him for that reason.

What was it that you didn't like about what the Rev. said? Just curious.

And I think Obama is the 'lesser of two evils' from the Dem party. And McCain isn't bad for a rep. but I still won't vote for him. I wish Ron Paul still had a chance but as far as I know McCain is locked in as the rep.'s nomination so no chance for Guiliani (noticed someone mention him).

Obama is relying heavily on the race card and this whole "change movement" that Jason echoed on, and man does it reek of (bull)shit.

With that said, I will vote for Obama in the election like I did for him in the primary. He will be under a lot of scrutiny, and sadly just for his color but I think that may keep him on the right track.

I think the Reverends statements were great...even if I don't agree with what he said, thats some real fuckin patriotism. I was amazed to see such an amazing display of honest opinion amongst todays watered down and appeasing nature. Shake things up goddamnit!

I'd like to think that some of what Obama is saying about getting out of Iraq ASAP is a bit of acceptable lip service. People want to hear that and as long as he rolls up his sleeves on Day 1 and starts working on it then it makes the promise come true. But in all reality it will have to be a much more complicated process. I'm excited about the idea of really exploring all the diplomatic avenues available. I feel like our current leadership is willing to just let it linger on and on. We need solutions. If it turns out to partially be a military solution then so be it. But we need to take steps in the direction of resolving the problem. That's my 2 cents.


This is exactly what needs to be done. Not a rapid removal of forces (which could end up being bloodier than the initial invasion) but a change in policy and a smart method of getting all of us the hell out of here that leaves something tangible and workable intact. What is siad of sacrifice in this war is true, if we pull out and leave chaos in our wake, the lives of 4000+ has been completley wasted on nothing. We are commited to this now no matter what.

4000 soldiers plus all the iraqis.
i saw this graph on another forum:



i don't know if it's accurate but i wouldn't be surprised. although they don't mention iraqi insurgents. moving out too soon would probably add a whole lot more to the iraqi bar.

Hillary Clinton today brought up the assassination of Sen. Robert Kennedy while defending her decision to stay in the race against Barack Obama.

"My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don't understand it," she said, dismissing calls to drop out.

it's not his fault the media picked up on it and made it such a huge deal. obama didn't really bring it up. the media did, leaving him no choice but to answer back. if you have a problem with it blame the media.

i dont blame anyone
im turned off to the fact that he has this close, personal relationship with this outspoken religious figure

is it right that this turns me off?
probably not
but the bottom line is that it did

did he say he was gonna rule by what his rev. said or his religion? if he's pro choice then he's not. and you get my idea. separation of church and state doesn't mean the guy can't have a personal or close relationship with the rev. of his church. sometimes, when you go to a church for a while...that does tend to happen. you guys can't give me one good argument other then you hate religion so...i'm done having this conversation.

dude what the fuck are you arguing about here?
i said my opinion of the guy changed when that stuff came out
i also stated that it may not be right
but its how i feel

im not the one trying to give you a good argument
you're the one who continues to go after what i have said and all i stated was my opinion.

im allowed to not like someone for whatever reason i choose
whether you find it silly or not

i honestly dont know what you are so worked up about other than you may happen to support obama or are religious or both.
either way, more power to you.
im not arguing your opinions or trying to get you to justify them.
i couldn't care less what your or anyones elses political views are on here.
i like the people here regardless of their views on things.
im able to do that and not judge anyone.

im responding to this as nicely as i can as i dont know where you're coming from with the attitude and anger.

carry on........

I'm not sure that religion doesn't have a place in politics. You'd probably get worked up with Obama was Muslim. Lots of people have just on the rumor and because of his name. Let alone that guy that got elected to Congress, wanted to take his oath of office on the Qur'an and not the Bible because he doesn't believe in it and the right wing had a shit fit.

The seperation between Church and state is not, and never was, about keeping people's religious beliefs out of their politics... it's about not having one religion or denomination of one religion be the state religion and dictate what all others must teach and preach. Let alone allowing people of other religions or denominations within the same religion hold public office.

Taking into account what a man believes in as the foundation of his morality in the form of the ethics his religion teaches is crucial to considering a person's qualification for public office. Especially the highest office in the land. I mean, seriously, you want a guy in office whose religion teaches him that anyone that doesn't follow his religion are literally devils and subhuman? Seeing a person following along with such things can give you a hint into his character and his most deeply held beliefs. Or let's say a guy believes that its his job, as a good Christian, to do all he can to hasten the second coming of Jesus and attempt to fulfill prophecies from the book of Revelations about the Temple in Jerusalem being rebuilt or other such things that would only cause further discord? I think that's worthwhile stuff to know.

Besides, why get worked up about Rev Wright? The very sermon the dude was quoted out of context from he says "oppressors aren't just white" and goes on about the Egyptian tyrants and their enslavement of the Hebrews. I read the transcript of that sermon, and I found nothing objectionable. Take the shit out of context and away from the whole scope of the speech and you're going to provoke "Yikes, that negra hates whitey!" But shit, what's up with white America that most of us expect black people, or brown people or red people NOT to be pissed off about the benefit that white America has taken from the exploitation or decimation of their people and cultures? Fact of the matter is, we live in a white power nation and it shows. There is not equal opportunity for all here, and there are folks that are pissed off about the raw deal they got from a white power society.
