Just go read his speech.

His speech like Bill Clintons I didn't have sexual relations with that woman speech? I think they call that 'back-pedalling' don't they? I don't need to hear his speech, I've heard enough from his pastor, who is someone he obviously looks up to because he's been a member of his church for the last 25 years or so. I won't step foot in an American Catholic church because of what I heard from an American Catholic priest. The church is the preacher, the building is just bricks and mortar.

We all know if this was McCain or Hillary they would both be guilty by association and their campaign would be for all intent and purpose over at this point.

And wasn't this hate monger on Obamas cmapaign staff until recently as the religous advisor or something?

What about his wife who even I saw on TV say "for the first time in my life I am proud to be an American"???? That was when I eliminated Obama as my candidate. We don't need a first lady heading out to state dinners who has spent the vast majority of her life ashamed of her country.

None of the candidates make me want to go out and vote for anyone of them, but it will probably be Hillary by process of elmination…if Obama becomes the democratic candidate I'll probably go for McCain….then go home and take a long hot shower.

I would, especially if it was the same shit, I would prefer nobody talk about religion, so I am not going to take what they hear in church in to account, only when it affects their policies

I'm not going to respond to you, because I can't do it as well as Obama did in his speech. He didn't back-pedal at all. He addressed exactly what you're talking about head on.

do you realize how hard his close relationship with this racist pastor is going to haunt him if he makes it to the general? his sheep supporters seem not to care but i think a lot of americans will.

I think if he can address it in the way he did in his speech, it won't matter.

And I cite Sullivan because he said it more eloquently than I can. Read his speech and make up your own mind.

I think mankie and manimtired are afraid that if they dare set eyes on the speech they may be transformed into Obamazombies.

what exactly do i have blinders on from? I gave McCain money in 2000 when he made his statements against the religious right in south carolina, I am an atheist who has never been to church willingly, and I will never go, I would prefer religion not be discussed in politics

when I say WHO THE FUCK CARES I am not implying that people dont care, I am voicing my frustration that it shouldnt matter, I am well aware that people do care and that is the source of my frustration

maybe they have their blinders on

are you being serious? ok.

what do you think of the mccain/hagee relationship?

enlighten me…even though i hate mccain too.

The more I learn about the three remaining candidates, the more I feel if it's Obama/McCain in the general election, I will not only vote for, but contribute money to, McCain. The Democratic Party is going to lose alot of voters for a long time if he somehow steals this nomination.

I can't believe pollard even asked that question to be honest.

I bet pollard was one of the yo-yo's who fainted at an Obama rally!!!

"We need water, one of my disciples has just fainted down here…oh never mind, I'll just change this wine into water for him"

yes I am, I do happen to think that 9/11 happened as a result of our foreign policy, that doesnt mean the US is to blame for it, but I think its important to recognize the role it played

hagee heads one of the megachurches. he's thrown his support behind mccain, but has said many anticatholic things in the past. he also said that katrina was punishment from god
