1. Excuse me, I supported Edwards, now Hillary
But I really don't think it helps to name call like that.

3. You missed the right turn. This isn't a place to post insulting nicknames of Dem candidates.
Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 03:41 PM by Gormy Cuss
You'll find a better audience in Freepertown.

edit: changing "Abominaton" to "Obominaton." How cute.

everytime Shillary or Billary comes up.

24. Why yes, if I saw "Hitlery" in a subject line I would be just as outraged.
There are plenty of ways to criticize the candidates without resorting to the sort of invective enjoyed in conservative circles.

Haven't seen "Shillary" but I'm not fond of Billary or even calling her Hillary when other candidates are referred to by their surnames. If she's Hillary, he's Barack. If he's Sen. Obama, she's Sen. Clinton, not Mrs. Clinton.

27. Then we're on the same side
Although as Hillary calls herself Hillary and all her signs say it as well (I guess to distinguish between her and the president), that I don't mind so much. But I prefer calling them both senator.

10. Gay people are born with the same rights as everyone else. We need to make the laws reflect it!
Nice try though

And when I hear Obama use those same religious cadences and phrases I wince.

21. Doesn't have to. I know the rules, even as I flaunt 'em. So when
I see Obama quoting psalms, "Look at the day the Lord has made", I feel ill

17. Actually it's used a lot in the Old Testament. Being gay is said
to be an abomination; but so is, of all things, wearing mixed fibers or eating the wrong foods. The religious crazies pick and choose which "abominations" they enforce as "God's word" and those they ignore.

8. oh, poor wittle fishy getting all orgasmic over something
that won't do a damn thing to hurt Obama. Did you know that Peter Paul's case is coming up too? Your premature ejaculation is pathetic, fishhead.

16. Would you please give this thread the original title of the article?
Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 03:51 PM by Benhurst
The article is a serious one and should be discussed. Your attack on Obama will keep it from being recommended and read.

The original title is: 8 things you need to know about Obama and Rezko.

26. Thank you.

It seems to be a serious article with links to others I haven't seen.
I haven't had time to read it yet. Whatever it's conclusions, it looks like it has information we should all know.

We should be prepared for Rove and company to be on this story like a duck on a June bug.
