On the church thing....let's get real.
If you're black, live in Chicago, and want to get elected to anything, you have to attend one of two churches.....Rev Wright's church is one of those.
That's just the way it is.
I honestly don't believe that Obama agrees with anything Wright says....I also honestly believe Obama is too intelligent to believe in all of that Jesus Christ is my savior bullshit either.
Unfortunately we live in a country where the electorate requires elected officials to make public proclamations of their faith....and that faith better be in Jesus....so anyone with political ambition has to play the religion game.
You all damn well know that 90% of the politicians who go to church on Sunday (and 99% of them go) don't believe a damn thing the preacher is saying.....it's all just an act they have to put on so they can get elected.
This whole "I don't like Obama because he went to that church and his pastor said crazy things" is just a red herring....just come out and admit the real reason you won't vote for him.
Maybe it's taxes, maybe it's abortion, maybe it's the Iraq war, maybe it's because you don't want a national health care system....whatever........I just don't understand why people, most of whom are "issue voters" and almost always vote for the same party, have to invent reasons to hate the other candidate to justify voting against them.
Barack Obama is a secret muslim racist, John Kerry is a french traitor, Bill Clinton was a drug dealer and murderer........gimme a fucking break.....just admit that you don't want your taxes raised, pull the fucking voting lever, and move on with your life.
