For those obsessing about Obama and Rev. Wright.
Why do you care?

Do you really believe this has any importance whatsoever compared to the case the Dems *should* be making right now about how to reform healthcare and fix the economy? Do you really believe a candidate is defined by one relationship, now compromised by petty politics and media pressure?

This is all gossip, folks, and you're addicted to it. You're infinitely distractable from issues that really matter. Your addiction to petty gossip is what is going to get McCain elected in November.

But if your bickering over what Obama meant and when Rev. Wright said what is sooo important to you, please continue and see what happens in a year.

If that sounds elitist, well maybe it is, but not because I want to be a part of an elite.

1. A better question - Why did you start yet another string on it?

3. 43 to 32, McSame-Bush is more liability to McSame than Wright is to Obama

5. Are you seriously that dillusional?
Look, if someone's pastor or priest sinks a whole a campaign and we 'lose' the Senate then:

A. The Senators who lose their seats get what they deserve because they suck at life

and

B. America gets what it deserves with McCain

I'm over this bullshit. It's time for us to get strap on a helmet and start talking issues and standing up for our own. If we go running scared every time some shit chucking ape on the right starts pushing us, then what the fuck is the point of us being Democrats to begin with?

6. Because of Post #4.
They are fundamentalists, these Obama-worshippers.

Woe to those who hear the word and yet refuse to believe.

Creepy, I tell you. Really creepy.
