Quotacious

DPolitico sums up Hillary's campaign against Obama perfectly.
In a move that's sure to be seen as controversial, Hillary has contacted the NCAA Board of Directors to argue that Memphis is actually better qualified to be National Champion.

Ms. Clinton stated that Memphis, while losing the game, had actually shown more ability to act like a National Champion on Day One. She argued that Memphis had passed every test during the game, including scoring more points than Kansas for 38 minutes. For 38 minutes they had shown the experience necessary to be National Champion. "Just because some team comes along in the last minute and scores more points than the other guy doesn't mean they're necessarily able to be National Champion on Day One."

I was pretty much behind Obama UNTIL the Reverand Write thing came to light. Obama's speach afterwards was great, but I cant help to think anyone to be part of a RACIST,FARAKON ENDORCING church ( if you can call it that) HAS TO SHARE the ideals. There is NO WAY someone can be part of that and not be......IM DONE WITH HIM.

I'm pretty sure I've spent more hours of my life listening to Eddie Murphy (I played "Raw" over and over in my teens until I had it memorized) than Barack Obama has in his life listening to Reverend Wright. Does that mean I share his ideals? Does that make me a homophobic, crass, potty-mouthed misogynist?

I realize you aren't running for President Dago, but think about who you have spent a lot of time listening to in your life, and ask yourself whether you would want people comparing you to that person based on how much you listened to them.

Also Dago, Obama at least went on TV and denounced countless times what Rev. Wright said. John McCain is proud to have — and gets up on stage with — the man who calls the Catholic Church "the great whore" and "a false cult system", Rev. John Hagee.

So, I suppose you can't vote for McCain either (who really actually trutfully embraces somebody with crackpot and vicious views) based on what you wrote above, right? After all, according to you, a candidate is only as good as the people he associates with, and you wouldn't want to vote for a rabid anti-Catholic bigot now, would you?

We are talking about 20 years, this is the man that baptized his children, this is some serious Radical anti white, anti American, pro Faracon stuff. Totally different then listing to comedy. And yes, people are as good as who they associate with (I have spent plenty of money in court for just that in my life), especially something as sacred as church.
Lets face it, McCain is the most qualified for the job, especially in these times. He is for staying the course in this war WE STARTED with Iraq, if we left now without getting these people on their feet, it would be a disaster. Iran would run this country over. Whether one is for it or against it is not the matter anymore, we are here and how we leave is. I’m here in Iraq, in country and I can say there is a drastic change in what’s going on here. Don’t believe all you hear on CNN. Last week I convoyed right through the center of Ramadi, un heard of in the past, and the people were smiling and waving.
As for his domestic policies, well they could probably use some help but what is reassuring is he isn’t to conservative, he’s pretty liberal for a republican.
Forget about Hillary, I’m not even going there. Now Obama, he was exactly what I was looking for, he aint white, he aint Black, he’s “Other”. He has been influenced by different religions, including atheism. He is intelligent, has outside of America influence, He’s a great speaker, and he’s an outsider, now that’s exactly what I am looking for. Jesus, he’s almost biblical…….LOL…..But he must be racist or he wouldn’t be sitting in a church for 20 years listening to such BULLSHIT. What we need in the Whitehouse is a centrist, not to far left, and not to far right, instead what we get time and time again is fanatics, either too far left or too far right. Now if they would only start addressing the energy problems a bit more.

PS: Of course Obama denounces Farrakhan; he would be committing political suicide not to do so. As far as the Catholic Church, I was raised Catholic, my mother grew up in St. Josephs orphanage in NY, both my brother and sister went to Catholic school, I was saved from that fate being the baby and the family being moved out to Long Island but remember the nuns coming to our house every day during the summer to sit and have coffee with my mother (St. Josephs had a summer camp near our Long Island home), and since you don’t want anything written against your GF’s religion, I will just say I know a little bit of the religion and am proud to say I am NO Catholic, or any other denomination for that matter.

Obama's minister said things that echo the opinion of MANY in the american community.
The frustration of being a minority and getting slighted over the years, must take it's toll.
Face it, ministers preach to an audience; they tailor their speeches to that audience. It is a performance that is reviewed and rewarded (in tithing) by the audience in the church.
I challange Dago that he has not heard worse things uttered about minorities (or possibly said them himself) in the company of non-blacks or non-hispanics.
It is a shame that Obama will be judged by his minister by some, when there are other candidates, who's close friends and political allies are responsible for the deaths of thousands of people overseas.
If the usa goverment spent as much time and money fixing itself from within; instead of attempting to 'heal the world with democracy' just think how the people of the usa would be better off.
What do you think?
