Religious Resignation

[Occhidiangela]

Hi,
I think lose-lose situation. That 'church', if it were white, would have eagles with swastikas in their talons on either side of the cross and would be denounced for racism. Not sure if I would want anyone with those leanings in the White House. And "I attended for years but never knew this was going on" doesn't wash it, at least with me. No one could be that much of a moron and still come across with the presence of Obama.

So, it's either stay with the church and lose almost all the white voters as well as a large percentage (I hope and like to think the majority) of black voters. Or ditch that church, lose those extremists and the people who feel that he's "A man whose allegiance / Is ruled by expedience.";) His decision makes sense.

Aye. Wright is a loud mouthed Wracist, sorta like David Duke. Joy.

The question that is uppermost in my mind is whether his participation in that church for so long was hypocritical or whether it reflects his true leanings and he's masking that now to gain the presidency. Either way, he's lost a lot of my respect and support, but if he's a racial bigot, then he's lost my vote as well. As much as I dislike it, the Democrats are doing a damned good job of forcing me to go with McSame. Obama basically has from now till November to convince me that his message of unification is not a political ruse. Failing that, I'll revert to Republican (barf!).

Rocks and hard places are uncomfortable places to stand, sit, or sleep.

Of course, Hillary could always pull one out of her *cough* hat. I could vote for a Clinton -- the only times they lie is when they're speaking, and not always then. At least she's a known quantity, sniper fire and all.;)

The only thing she pulls out of any orifice that is of any worth ought not be flushed, as it clogs the latrines. I'll be happy to see her going back to being a loud mouthed Senator from New York. She wears that well, and New York bloody well deserves her.
