Dan BrettaWell you sure made it sound like the Reverend Wright and Denver backdrop were your major issues with Obama, but I will note that Obama's plan for the war in Iraq was endorsed by the Iraqi's (no sense in staying if we're going against the will of the people...you know that's the problem with Democracies! Heh!) and sure enough even Dubya came around to it after that. Also that war in Afghanistan...remember that one? Yeah Obama's plan also was endorsed by McCain who realized he had to come around to it.
So you go ahead and vote for the guy who thought Iran was in cahoots with Al Qaeda and thought that the Sunni Awakening was a result of the Surge...I'll vote for the guy who doesn't stand for the Bush status quo.
And that will be my last post in this thread...I've been discussing politics on the internet for over 12 years now and I've only changed one mind. That's not a big enough payoff to continue to waste this much time.
I'm going to edit this one just so I can give Joe a satisfactory answer. Hagee endorsed McCain and McCain accepted it...Hagee was found to have made racist, anti-Semitic remarks and McCain did not disavow Hagee's endorsement until he was pressured to do so...as far as Rev Wright's comments about damning America well in certain instances it's called for. America isn't always a shining beacon of light (Torture, Abu Ghraib, Gitmo) and I'm sure a black man of Wright's age clearly remembers the world before the Civil Rights acts of 1964. You really want to talk about un-American activities we can start with Sarah Palin's husband who was (is?) a member of a secessionist group. Doesn't get more un-American than that. Could you even imagine the sh*tstorm in this country if Obama's wife belonged to a group that wanted to secede from the union?
