Obama people

You know what scares me?

I was over at my Uncle's house this Sunday for a Confirmation party. We were eating dinner and the topic of conversation wandered over to the Presidential election. My aunt asked me who I was voting for. I said Obama. Then my great-uncle looked over at me like I belonged in asylum. His first words were, "You know Obama's a Muslim, don't you?"

Wasn't there some poll where 20% thought that?

I think it was 16% but it scares me that my Great-Uncle, a man I love and respect, believes that crap.

What's more insane is that after that, he attacked Obama on being a radical rev. Wright supporter and a member of a cultish Church.

This thread is pretty funny.  For other possible responses, see my sig.

That statement can mean anything you want it too.

I see why you have it, then.

With the Clintons out of the political spectrum, although they're not really out of the political spectrum (they can still deep-six people), we are entering an political age where there is lots of risk and, I suspect, very little gain, if things continue the way they are.

Perhaps. But what's life with no risks?

Again, this has been discussed to the point of utter retardation.  You are even admitting Obama is more liberal.  Are you really going to claim that Hillary Clinton who voted for the war in Iraq would rank as more liberal than Barack Obama who has spent his entire career whining about it?  Oh right, you think and have cited sources that say we should not rank people.  That's fine, but most people think he's an ultra-liberal so it doesn't the situation that Hillary is more electable, which was the point.  Debating how I came at the notion he is more liberal is a moot freaking point when you and your buddies are ADMITTING he's more liberal than a senator that is already moderate to liberal. 

I don't know why I keep debating this Obama lunacy.  I must be very bored or something today.  I need to re-evaluate the point of this nonsense.

Stop trying to dismiss my opinions as if I were part of some giant mob harassing you.  I'm not.  I'm one person.  I'm sorry if that's inconvenient to your dismissal of my opinions.

It's the victim card.

Hillary Clinton: "You've learned well, my young apprentice."

Well guess I started a good post

"Good" is in the eye of the beholder.

The lesson we've learned is that any post with "Obama" in the title will be an instant success due to the obsessive nature of his cult following.

Oh, get off it!

Your just being ridiculous.

Now, if you will excuse me, I need to go sacrifice a lamb in the name of the great Muslim God OBAMA!

Geez oh man.

I must brag for a moment:  my vote for Hillary in the NY primary is looking wiser and wiser as time goes on, but then again I kind of saw this one coming.  There was simply something about Obama's act in SC that didn't smell right to me.

Can you elaborate? I'm not sure I follow.

Well, it's a number of things, but most importantly, his responses to the Clinton's taunting sounded a lot like the "victimization" game.  I understood why he might do that in SC, but it still didn't feel right to me.  Now, it's clear why it didn't sound right to me.  Basically, his whole campaign is based on the "victimization" game.

I don't believe Obama actively used the victim card. However, he didn't do anything to stop the media or his surrogates from portraying him as such.

Hillary, on the other hand, is married to the card.
