I don't like or really support Barack Obama. But the "bitter" pile-on is total bullshit.

Unfortunately, once he gets the nomination this sort of bullshit will be nonstop.

I wish we could have an election that focused on issues, not 'gotchas'.

3. You have to understand that there are SQUADRONS of fulltime employees poring over everything he does

The fact that this, some shit his PREACHER said, the fact that he wore a turban once but not a flag pin, etc. is the best they can come up with ought to tell everyone something, right there.

5. Actually, it only tells me that he hasn't had affairs and so forth.

They are picking things that will motivate conservatives, not people like me. The things that I would find scandalous, most people would find a non-issue. For example, if he belonged to a club that promoted University of Chicago style economics when he was there. I don't care if he smokes or did coke or wore a turban. All that is perfectly fine by me. I also don't care if Clinton carried a backpack, though, either.

6. Those people aren't going to vote for our nominee unless that person is an anti-choice fundy who

states their disbelief of evolution while dressed up in a giant fucking flag SUIT.
