It''s no surprise that the Republicans don''t want to run on issues like the failing economy, the immoral and failed war in Iraq, blatant anti-science and education policies, disowning of environmental responsibility, and generally extraordinarily bad governance over this great nation which has gutted the middle class economically and spiritually. So they''ll run on trumpeting non issues like the opponents pastor''s speaking record - why not, it''s worked before twice.

"Your guys preacher is a hate monger and very, very close to obama, show me the same for mccain.

Actually Rev. Wright is correct on pretty much everything he states. The only thing he said that is factually questionable is his HIV statement.

John McCain isn''t very helpful, either.
HANNITY: He''s been -- but he''s been going to the church for 20 years. His pastor -- the church gave a lifetime achievement award to one of the biggest racists and anti-Semites in the country, Louis Farrakhan. Would you go to a church that -- where your pastor supported Louis Farrakhan?

MCCAIN: Obviously, that would not be my choice. But I do know Sen. Obama. He does not share those views.

They flubbed Katrina, the war is a bust, recession is here, they''ve had eight years.

I love the smell of desperation in the morning.

Bye Bye GOP. No Swiftboat to save you this time. No one to roll over for your spittle flecked, insane ranting this time, no one for your tired nationalism. Kiss it.

Obama understands and espouses the core tenants of Black Liberation Theology and HAS CHOSEN to practice it for over 21 YEARS as his personal faith (as has his wife) and adopt it for his children. After Harvard, Obama became a Black Organizer and activist.

%u201Cblack liberation%u201D theologians James Cone and Dwight Hopkins pioneered the religion that Obama%u2019s church espouses, and which Rev. Wright both adheres to and preaches.

Some of the main points of this %u2018Cult Theology%u2019:
Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community %u2026 Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. In the black liberation theology taught by Wright, Cone and Hopkins, Jesus Christ is black, not for all men, but only for the oppressed against whites.

There are some serious issues to be addressed about WHY Obama chose to join this Black Power cult, and its main message of hatred. He%u2019s in it now, and has been immersed in this core doctrine for over 20 years. Black Panthers are part of Obama Campaign.

Is the GOP EVER going to grow up, or are thier constituents doomed to rhetoric worthy of a playground, instead of serious discussion of issues.

I think it''s a more interesting "scandal" that our VP and Obama are RELATIVES!

Of course George apparently can claim to be a "distant relative" of the Queen of England too.

NONE of this "mudslinging" though is going to FIX this nation''s ECONOMIC, SOCIAL or CORRUPTION problems.

Come on, get OFF the kiddie playground and BE ADULTS.

I want to see REAL SOLUTIONS to the very REAL PROBLEMS this nation is facing.

And "Reverend" Hagee backs McCain--the guy who told Catholics their church is a *** and they''re all going to hell.

May not play well in Pennsylvania!

obama words to live by: Words matter, words matter.

AND-It''s a generational thing.

I''ve been reading and listening to all kinds of coverage and no where did I find anyone saying this garbage about the GOP and this hate monger. No where. Sounds like more c*&p. Then again, the source of this non story says it all. You libs have got to stop pulling stories out of your collective arses.

Words matter & it''s a generational thing!! Words to live by, how profound.

OH the HORROR!!!!
SOMEONE SAID SOMETHING STUPID!!!

George our "fearless leader" has WHOLE BOOKS of STUPID things He''s SAID!!

My favorites are:

"I know haw hard it is for you to put food on you family" Nashua, New Hampshire, Jan 2000
(and what is it that he''s always mentioning the word HARD??)

"I want to thank you for taking time out of your day to come and witness my hanging" - Austin Texas, Jan4,2002
(This one is self explanatory)

"I''ve been to war. I''''ve raised twins. If I had a choice, I''d rather go to war." Charleston, West Virginia, Jan 27,2002 (aside from LYING about the WAR ATTENDANCE part this DOES explain his REASON for IRAQ!!)

Yeah, that fantasy only lasts a minute. Ever hear the retrograde stuff these Republicans listen to in their evangelical churches? By this Summer all this media-generated hype will be long forgotten and the millions who turned out to vote for Democrats in the primaries will feel good about marching to the polls to finish the job in November...

Next up...

the taxi driver that picked up one of the candidates 10 YEARS AGO is a MOSLEM SYMPATHIZER!!!!

PLASTER IT ALL OVER THE SNEWZ!!!!

Then there was a 2nd cousin twice removed that WENT TO JAIL for drugs!!!!

Plaster THAT ALL OVER THE SNEWZ!!!

Then a GREAT-GREAT-GREAT GRANDMOTHER was a PROSTITUTE!!! HORRORS!!!

PLASTER THAT ALL OVER THE SNEWZ!!!

BUT, WHATEVER you do DO NOT discuss REAL ISSUES that AFFECT ALL of us like:

THE AMERICAN ECONOMY GOING DOWN THE SEWER

CORPORATE CORRUPTION CONTRIBUTING TO POLITICAL CORRUPTION

The LOSS OF OUR CONSTITUTION

The PRESIDENT calling the CONSTITUTION (the thing he SWORE to "protect and defend") "just a G@D D@MNED PIECE OF PAPER and WHY he might be so DISRESPECTFUL of it.

That is the only question needed to be raised.

Rick Wilson is a Neo-con, right wing hate monger that obviously elections are a business. You get paid

to spin the truth about the war. And this needs to end.

It''s time for the GOP and right-wing neo-cons to be forever removed from America. True patriots rise up against their tyranny. Once Bush leaves office the GOP must go with him. McCain will soon collapse and this supposed advantage will implode, bringing the GOP to its knees. God bless America!

It''s clear the MSM is backing McCain for president. He gets off scott free for embracing religious leaders who spew hate of different groups in this country with NO repurcussions. He''s applauded for embracing those people as ''getting closer to his base''.

So, it''s clear folks. The MSM is all about protecting the GOP.
