Ummm...no matter how you slice it, Obama's church is not a real issue. He could be from the same church as Carlos Maussa it really has no bearing.Quote:

McCain is backed by a bunch of crazy white preachers. A couple of them became public knowledge and he disowned them, but there are plenty more. Go start a McBush crazy preacher thread.Quote:

It does if he believes in what Wright and Co. are preaching and then he's running the country he's been hating his entire life??? A bit counterproductive if you ask me.....a person who loves America.
If you look a why he joined the church in the firdt place it was down to Chicago politics. He's now left the church anyway, so let's talk about something relevant, like the disaster in Iraq.Quote:

Wasn't McCain friends with a Preacher who said the Holocaust was God's work? This is terrible, terrible. How are the Jews going to survive in a country run by McCain?Quote:

That makes it better??? He's willing to sit through THAT to be President?!?! As for the Chicago Politics....maybe we can have a New Tamany Hall if Obama wins.Quote:

Obama has just as much experience as W did when he first became President.Quote:

Yeah but Bush is an idiot :D
I'm in graduate school for history, mainly U.S. foreign policy, and I've been reading this book called The Hidden Hand Presidency about Eisenhower and how during his presidency people thought he was kind of out of it and just let his cabinet run everything and played golf all the time when it turned out that (whether you agreed with his policies or not) he was lucid and in control. I sometimes wonder if there will end up being a revisionist history like that about Bush, and we'll find out that he actually wasn't as stupid as he seems. I kind of doubt it.
Obama has no experience in foreign policy...McCain DOES!
Yes and he had the good judgment to support an obviously unnecessary war which obviously was going to do more to hurt the nation's interest than help it. Unlike the Democrats who supported the war because they were political cowards, McCain actually thought it was a good idea.
Which makes his self-congratulatory air about the surge seem a bit over the top.
Chuck Hagel would be a good GOP nominee. Either Obama or Clinton would be fine, although I'd prefer Clinton so she can run on a platform of bringing honour and integrity back to the White House.Quote:

McCain is a foreign policy cretin, QED.
Obama's only six delegates away. Hillary's apparently starting to talk about accepting the V.P.
