Shipm8, that's the whole thing, they dont WANT to look at reality. You posted to Netlore, I posted to Snopes, they probably glanced once long ago and rejected the facts as liberal propaganda. Since it doesnt feed their fantasy and make them feel good, they ignore it.

Yeah, I wonder how many Nicauraguan email scams some of these people have been sucked in by!

Why yes I did.

Quote:
Virtually everything we do know about Obama's parentage and upbringing, it should be stipulated, comes from the senator himself

Though Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. was raised a Muslim, he had lost his faith and become a "confirmed atheist" by the time he attended college, according to his son.

When Obama's mother remarried, it was indeed to an Indonesian man named Lolo Soetoro, whom his stepson describes as a "non-practicing" Muslim.
So basically, we are to believe Obama's assertions to be true? On faith? With no further probing?

Do you think IF all this were true, he would have a shot at the presidency?

That is exactly how I would describe the Obamatons in the face of Obama's questionable relationships and connections.

Just as long as we don't get double talk from folks like Juan McCain.

Yes, some of it. They are mostly just regurgitating Obama-speak.

Even something as simple as the Magazine article/picture he saw. No one can find anything like that at the time. Just a made up story that sounds good.

Could you explain your second para, I dont understand what you're saying.

I think you're not telling the truth about reading even "some of" the Netlore/Snopes pp., because a couple of posts upthread you are still, STILL clinging to the comfortable old armchair-adventure tales that he's a Muslim, a terrorist, etc.

I know it's not just you, I know there are lots of you.

Wouldnt it be more interesting in the long run to make your decisions based on facts, rather than just running cartoons through your head and then parading then around out in public? Dont you respect yourselves enough to risk trying that?
