It was mind-blowing to hear Obama say he was never "in the pews" when these types of sermons were delivered, when in fact thats all that were delivered!! LOL..As a life long Democrat it sickens me that our choices are these two socialists...I will be voting for Mc Cain this fall, its more of a damage control decision. He is the lesser of the three liars.
At least Hillary is more centrist and not voted the most liberal senator...though should Obama get the nominee I will be voting the same as you.

thanks for the honesty regarding the church. All the more reason I do NOT want Hillary to drop out.

Default Absolutely NOT

In days gone by, a party's candidate was actually decided at the convention. It's not until recent times, with the comprehensive system of primaries, has it come about that the party's candidate was known before the convetion even convened.

Hillary and Obama are very close in party support and comitted delegates. With Obama crashing and burning, I say to Hillary - hang tough.

Or should she stay to the end, despite the odds, and give it her all?
She should concede immediately. If she were half the woman I thought she was from the onset that is exactly what she would do. Instead she is fighting for power at all costs with little thought of the consequences to the democratic party or the general election.

Honesty about the church. You believe her on that? It's lies. It's a LARGE church in the 3rd LARGEST city in the country. If it were ANTI-WHITE or ANTI-AMERICAN, we would've know waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before last week. Lies, Lies, Lies.

Do Hillary supporters want to reflect the morals of their canidate by telling lies?

Hey John - I know of a radical Islamist camp right across the mountains from my birthplace.

Everyone there knows what's up there....very few in the general population (except for some journalists) know what kind of camp it is. Springtime in Islamberg: Radical Muslim paramilitary compound flourishes in upper New York state (broken link)
Media spotlight strong on Islamic compound | Northeast Intelligence Network (http://www.homelandsecurityus.com/GilaniFNC5 - broken link)

Sometimes locals know the real dirt is my point. And this is a tax exempt "organization FWIW...due to their "religious" affiliation I presume.

(And your government has not told you about Islamberg why?)

Not to stray OT..sorry!

Edit to add: not to say I am in any way accusing the church of being some extreme terrorist group..

I am doing the same, registered dem voting for McCain. And I think Clinton will get the nomination in the end anyway along with the majority of the super delegates.

Besides, she has won all the major states that any Democrat nominee would have to carry if they were to be elected or have any chance.

If the democrats want a democratic President they had better vote for Clinton because Obama cannot win Calf, NY, Ohio, Florida, and a host of other important states.

Yes - actually I do. AND, the reason is, Senator Clinton is so politically astute that she would know the potential political fallout continued association with this pastor would cause.

That would be reason enough for her to disassociate herself

Its a shame Obama did not do the same

Oh, BTW John - I'm not a Clinton supporter so, don't accuse me of such
