People, all people have done stupid things in their past, what matters is the here and now. Have they truly had a change of heart and turned away from those stupid things? That's what matters.
Hugo, we knew that Obama surrounded himself with Marxist and radical leftist very early on, there is audio after audio of him admitting that. OK, fine, but what about the people in his past and how does it correlate to the here and now? We know he was an associate and friend of radical Bill Ayers and we know he still is. We know Ayers has not changed his tone, yet Obama is still a supporter/friend. We know Obama is a friend of Andy Stern, one who has chanted the mantra of the communist for decades, we know he still does, we know he gave abundantly to the Obama campaign and we know he still chants the same mantra and we know he is one of the most frequent guest at the white house. There are countless examples like this.
O'Donnell, OK, so she had some idiot friends in her past...she openly admitted to it. Does she still have these friends? Does she want to be a witch? Is she promoting witchcraft? If not, great, then that past is really irrelevant.
