Post by: Nordic Superman on July 10, 2008, 04:30:56 AM

yup, I had to look up that word.  I didn't find a single definition on the net.  Hook me up, what the frack is a bamarite? lol... I don't know but it doesn't sound good :D  On the subject progessives and myself have not been happy with Obama's pace on this.  Several have chalked it up to him moving middle/right for the election for the purpose of winning.  Play by the sword...

Yes, my own opinion is that he's become more centred to get more votes.
