You are totally missing the point and are either letting your blind love of Obama cloud your judgement, or your just an idiot.
Well, we know that's not it! lol
If I went to a radical Islamic Mosque that preached terrorism, the destruction of America and Israel and that praised the 911 attacks and I attended that Mosque for 20 years and designated the Imam as my spirtual advisor, would you be stupid enough to think that I didn't agree with the message being preached at that Mosque?
How is it propaganda? Its truth- Its fact and its reality.
By your warped point of view, I could attend a local cross burning with the KKK and watch effiagies of blacks hung from trees-- BUT! I could then claim I didn't believe in the hatred being spewed in my face for 20 years-- I just wanted to make sure I got the racist redneck vote.
Absolutely.
You want me to judge you by the company you keep, but I'm instead choosing to judge you by YOUR words and by YOUR actions.
If you're a local businessman and/or politician and almost everything you've ever done has improved your community fairly for all its people, then I honestly will not care where you spend your Sunday mornings.
Am I a unique individual? Yes. But is my way of thinking where the country needs to be headed? Absolutely.
Religion is NOT a business...
Wrong.
Until you can accept that reality, I'm afraid that we won't be able to debate. Seriously, if you don't recognize that religion is not only business, but BIG business, then you're not going to be able to move forward in a productive discussion.
^BULLSHIT. What we have decided in this country, is that if your the right color or ethnic group, then you can worship as you please and its not a big deal. One of the big reasons Romney didn't win the republican ticket is because he is mormon-- Theres no way he would win the election.
The Mormons are using their position on gay marriage to gain support within the mainstream Christian community. They've run a very carefully scripted PR campaign for the past 25 years and now, people are a lot less concerned about their doctrine than previously.
I could go into more details, but LDS, Inc. is an
extremely well-run business, one which takes advantage of the free/cheap labor at its disposal, just like every other business wants to.
Only the perfect Republican was going to be able to defeat Cheney-Bush in the last election, and as both Drkaje and I have stated, the Republicans really did not want to win it, given where the economy was headed.
If they're smart, they'll keep Romney off the ticket in 2012 and he'd be the odds-on favorite to win the White House in 2016. That is my prediction.
What normal people should find disturbing, even if your interpretation is correct, is that Obama would associate with such slime for 20 years just to get elected. Its politics as usual, pander to whoever can get you elected and lie your ass off for votes. Doesn't seem like much hope and change to me.
RIGHT. Obama is a politician's politician, even moreso than Hillary Clinton, it would seem. If you look at all his moves from 2004 up to the election, Obama did *everything* necessary to get elected. Now, Cheney-Bush definitely helped him, no question, but if we'd been in prosperous times, I highly doubt he would've run in 2008. Clinton would've been the nominee, and she would've been defeated in a pretty close election by Tom Ridge or Dick Cheney.
