Barrack and Hillary

[BoulderDawg]

Ah, the wonderful world of politics. Isn't it lovely!

I'm very noncommittal when it comes to national politics however I do like to observe especially now that we have a black man and a white women running for president.

This entire Rev. Wright thing is very interesting. I don't know the entire story and history on Rev Wright but I believe he's probably been preaching ever since the civil rights era. In any case I listened to all the controversal sermon sound bytes they have showed. I have no problem with any of them. As a matter of fact I agree with everything the man said. Granted he's not very diplomatic but sometimes you just got to tell the truth as you see it.

In any case kudos to Barrack for standing by Rev Wright and trying to explain to the American people why he is doing so. It's not going to do any good. More or less he got up yesterday and told white America, "Yes, white people I am a black man." Bravo! However it's not really what a lot of white people want to hear. I think until last week many saw Obama as not really being a black man...That has changed.

Will it cost him his opportunity to be elected president? Unfortunately now the answer is "more than likely". That said you have to hand it to the man for standing by Rev Wright and being honest with the people. Would Hillary have done the same? ......No. She would have left the church and condemned the preacher...that is if the polls told her that would be a good thing to say...sad to say Hillary has run the poorest campaign I've ever seen. Some of the things she has done and said simply defy imagination. "The results were fair and should be honored" comes to mind. Also, Barrack is simply not qualified to be president (she doesn't say it's because he is black but one has to wonder) however she says he's qualified to be VP....She says it's because he is inexperienced......well, one just has to look at Sen Clinton's record in congress to know that she's not exactly a major player either.

In any case I would like to see Obama win but we will see. It would really be sad to see McCain benefit from all of this and get elected.....

That Rev Wright guy is a disgrace. How you can claim to be spreading and teaching God's word and then say those racist, inflammatory things is ridiculous.

If more clips of him come out, I'm certain they will contain anti-Semitic remarks.

It may be that the man is outspoken. However not one thing that I've heard in any of these sound bytes is racist in any way.

I totally agree. This guy has no business even being broadcast in any media outlet.

When I hear Hillary Clinton mentioned in the same sentence as socialism I despair as to how skewed politics has become in the USA. She is centre-right by any sane definition of the term. Socialism is a leftist political philosophy.

Greetings..

The real saddness.. is that the political "theatre" is doing its job well, it's distracting the masses into believing that there is value in politics.. there isn't.. the US is run by corporate manipulation, politics happens to be the best Corporate Puppet of all.. The Enemies of the Corporate Elite are "We the People", and religious fundamentalism.. yeah, and any semblance of true Socialism..

The "People" are merely "parts in the Corporate machinery".. politics is the "grease".. and, the media, LOL, is the marketing dept.

Be well..

Lots of accusations there. Have anything solid to back it up? This might work for the mindless sheep you mention, but some of us are expecting evidence behind claims of evil corporate monsters manipulating the govt.

At this point, the question is how far away can we keep ourselves from hell. You should vote for the one that will screw things up the least when you don't like the choices.

What?

You're saying that America is both too stupid to realize Obama is black and too racist to elect him because of it.

why isn't this moved or deleated by our great board moderator? I come here to check out what people are posting about KUNG FU and I see this crap. If I want CNN then I'll turn on the tube.
