Apparently we look like this now
|
^^^ Just watch..Over the next few days, the media will begin reporting on how 'strong' Obama must be in order to do this...They will also remind everyone that all the people who are against Obama were saying that he needed to sever ties with Wright, and remind us that he did just that. Obama gets what he needed, Wright puts on a great performance..well, not really a performance. He was just being himself. A few days later, the media reports that Obama has come out in favor of the country. Come October, McCain runs ads about Obama's character based on his association with Wright. Obama runs ads saying how he did away with Wright. Stupid people all over America say "Oh yeah...Obama isn't like Wright." Wright becomes the next Sharpton, Obama becomes president. |

I don't' think this. I think Obama is in major damage control mode. He thought he could get away with it before, but now that Wright hasn't gone away, and Bill Ayres turns out to be a big buddy, and his financier Tony Rezko is on trial... he can't hide anymore. People are seeing through the veneer that is Obama. That's really all there is to him. He's a fake, a schmoozer, a guy trying to Billy Dee his way into the presidency. Look behind the veneer and you see a hard line socialist who hobnobs with virulent anti-Americans. The problem a lot of Obama voters are now having is that they hate Hillary Clinton and won't vote for McCain (well, 22% of them said they actually would vote for McCain last week). Do they do as I will, and hold their collective noses and vote for their guy, or sit home and blog about how this was all a setup to get "Chimpy Bushitler's" protegeé into office and "continue creating the fascist United State of AmeriKa"? |

So .... does that mean if you don't vote for the Bushitler's (can I use that ???) preferred successor makes you a socialist or a commie , and unamerican .... how so ? Anyway what's wrong with being a socialist ? ABG is right about one thing .... Obama is falling apart and should have distanced himself for Wright when he had the chance. |

Time to put something here
|
In a country where the majority of the population does not prescribe to socialist ideals it means that your going to have a difficult time becoming president. |

I was quoting terms from Democrat Underground, and using those terms to demonstrate the utter BDS that exists in the mind of some people and how it affects their mindset. We've already been through why it is bad to be a Socialist. By the way, if you are having difficulty understand what I write. you might consider a reading comprehension course. I didn't say what you claim, and a backhanded bait (if that's what your comment is) won't contribute to the conversation either. |

No - we have been through why you think it is bad to be a Socialist. Lots of people disagree with the points you have made. |

Please explain. What does it mean to "Billy Dee" your way into a presidency? Not being facetious or anything like that, but I'm not quite sure what it means and want to make sure we're all thinking along the same lines before I make a comment on that. It is my opinion that in the course of our lives we are all somehow "associated" with some undue characters. In fact, my liberal, progressive friends would probably have me fried for "communicating", "associating" with people of questionable character from the other side of the political spectrum, but they aren't going to dictate who I talk to. Heck it happens here at SisterTrek all the time. "Why do you sympathize with so and so?" "He's using you" "He's giving you a line of bullsh*t" but honestly, I'm all for an exchange of ideas. It doesn't necessarily mean I would agree with what he/she has to say, but my folly is always that I'm curious to know what people are thinking.Obama has tried to distance himself from the Rev. Wright, though too late as it may seem. Because of this, where I would have been 90% with the guy, I might be down to 75%. My only problem with that is that he should have done it earlier, maybe 20 years ago, if he was seriously thinking about becoming the POTUS. (insert a little sarcasm in there). Still, some things are not clear. In my mind, I can't justify certain things about the issue but then again, I can understand his sense of loyalty. Do you have to throw everyone under a bus when it comes to vying for the highest office in the land? Pope Benedict XVI for example, has said a few controversial things. Do I disassociate myself from the Catholic Church? I'm only glad that Obama did not say these things himself (even though yes, he may have been sitting in the pews during a sermon) and it was his pastor, otherwise I would have closed the book on Obama a long time ago. The more I read left/right wing talking points from Dittoheads, Obamazombies, etc. etc. the more DISTRACTED I am from issues that I feel matter more. Issues I feel a true sense of urgency with. Oh, I don't know, maybe the insane price of gas? The state of our health care system in the United States of America? (not with a K), Has our mission truly been accomplished 5 years later? How are we going to deal with illegal immigrants and how do we secure our borders and make them stronger? Is it the economy stupid? How much are we spending on the Iraq war per day and where is that money coming from? Dollar? What dollar? The Wright issue certainly is something to talk about but if 6 months from now, this is the darned issue that put McCain or Clinton into the White House, I will be truly disappointed. Yes, the Wright issue is something to contend with but as I've learned , there is no one perfect candidate. The issue henceforth is to make a learned choice based on what feels good for you, and if the issue more important to you is the issue of Rev. Wright, then have at it. Unfortunately for Obama, this may be his waterloo, though I wish it would have been on an issue that would have truly helped me decide to vote for him or not. Though I am a fan of John McCain, liberal lefties would have me think that it would be eight more years of Bush. I'm not quite sold on that. What I don't know is if I can stomach 8 years of Clinton (Bill Clinton that is). If you really think about it, for me it's all good. McCain, Clinton or Obama. It's all good.
That could be any politician in America (no K). Republican or Democrat. |

I'm just guessing here, but I think the "Billy Dee" reference is to Billy Dee Williams and the persona he usually plays on the screen of a shmoozer and schemer. Reference his character in the original Star Wars films. Of course if you do reference that you need to be reminded that the character came through in the end, helped save everyone and became a hero

But only because he was betrayed by Darth Vader and Han Solo (the symbolic representation of the American people) still got frozen in carbonite for trusting him. I mean, Chewbacca, Luke, Leah, and Solo wouldn't have even been in this jam if Lando hadn't sold out to the dark side in the first place. And think of poor C3P0 (the symbolic representation of the British). Let's face it. THe force was not with Lando. |

Man, I am ever sick of hearing about this guy (i.e. Wright). Unfortunately, I think this controvery has sunk Obama's campaign. Whether he gets through the primaries or not. I would have liked to have seen a more clean Presidential race this year (sans the crazy mud-slinging), but that was too much to ask I believe. It will be Reverand Wright all day and all night like it was with the Swift Boat issue with John Kerry. Except Obama doesn't deserve the level of criticism that Kerry got. |
