Is this going to go on until football starts ?

A person can care about more than one political issue at the same time. I care about Santorum's views on things like birth control and rape because they show, in my thinking, that he's woefully unsuited for the presidency.

I saw Santorum on Meet the Press adopting the same tactic you're using and trying to steer discussion away from his social conservatism.

As David Gregory responded, you can't make speeches about this stuff for year after year and not expect to be questioned about it.

The funny thing is you would take a Bill Clinton or a JFK everyday over someone who believes in the priciples of their particular religion.

David Gregory is one of the most liberal morning show hosts out there. This is an issue to the left, and really no one else.

Too bad Gregory never thought to ask such hard questions of candidate Obama's past acquaintances 4 years ago. Far more important than questioning a catholic about contraception.

Bit that never came up. Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Depends if it holds my attention over TSU-UTSA talk.

Either way, your screwed.

Is this site good enough for you?

God, I hate off season.


Oh wait, I didn't mean to blur the line between seperation of Church and Message Board.

Still a better thread than debating whether to wait for the potential of a high school football coach to materialize.

The group is African Americans FOR Obama, not ONLY AFRICAN AMERICANS FOR OBAMA.

So, is it also your belief that the NAACP is a racist organization?

You know Phil, I am originally from east Texas (Longview) and I always find it both ironic and amusing anytime someone from the deep south & east Texas calls ANYONE racist.

I also found it ironic and amusing that middle class (and above) white families in the deep south and east Texas used to talk about African Americans as if they weren't really human. Yet they were more than happy to turn over child raising duties (the most important job in any family) to African American women.

This post seems like there are several logical fallacies in it. Unless, I am confused at what your point is... Because, to me, it seemed like you were trying to discredit his statement by bringing up where he possibly was born. Something that does not make his argument invalid.

Furthermore, it assumes a lot of someone just because of something out of their control like where they were born.

We have never had a president more disrespected than Barack Obama. From day one, many folks have been running scared at the thought that they will lose whatever rights they have enjoyed their whole life. Republican (and Tea Party) candidates use this fear to their advantage by continuing to lie and distort the truth. This guy is not one of us; he’'s not American, not Christian, hangs around terrorists, he's a socialist etc. I remain shocked that so many continue to embrace this type of bigotry. Despite it all, Mr. Obama remains the consummate professional and adult with these attacks.

What has he done? How about keeping this country out of a depression. Saving the US auto industry. Bringing our troops home from a lie, killing the top terrorists, bringing the stock market back, creating jobs month after month, restoring the US imagine around the world

Instead of constantly berating the guy and believing all the lies out there because of the color of his skin, we need to thank the guy for bringing us back from the mess of the prior 8 years. Imagine where we would be if the Republicans would try to work with him rather than obstruct everything the man is trying to do; for all of us. Fortunately, the majority of American have not fallen prey to this garbage.

Polls have him rising because of the lack of an alternative from the Republican. (or policies) It would be a waste of resources and foolish for Obama to target African American “only”; when he received 92-95% of their vote. We have never had a president to inherit as many problems upon taking office. Despite the concerted effort of the republican to just sit on the sidelines and hope the economy fails; this president has been the right guy at the right time. Lord knows this may have killed McCain and Sara Palin would have just quit. Keep up the great work Mr. Commander in Chief Sir! Like Tony Mitchell, give us more years.

Here's my vote for eliminating forums like this that take away from my day to day escape from the work place and politics. Hell, If I wanted to get pissed off, I can always watch Fox News.

Find a source worth responding to. You don't see me posting links to far right websites, do you?

Except that newsbusters link you posted in the gas prices thread a few days ago...

BTW, if JFK's speech made Santorum 'sick', I wonder what he thinks of Jefferson's writing here...

I guess all the Dutch euthanasia BS Santorum was spouting is just "Catholic" too, right?

Easy Cooley.

When you see Political titles, just don't click on them of it gets your dander up that much. No matter which side of the political fence you fall to, you know there will be someone on the other side.

Plus, we are going into the most dead part of the off season in tye middle of an election year. Things are most likely gonna get worse before they get better

I'll give you finally getting OBL. Of course, that was the culmination of years of work; but he was indeed in the chair when they got him. As for the rest, I'm not sure if you are intentionally lying or just deluded. Keeping the country out of a depression? I suppose you could give every President since FDR credit for that. Saving the auto industry? If you're talking about the bailouts, that came from Bush. Creating jobs month after month? It's been documented that the Obama administration has largely been blowing smoke about that, even by liberal publications. And not that I lose sleep over it, but the U.S. image is probably worse now than at any time in our history. He has treated our actual allies with contempt; he has kissed up to our enemies, a move they generally perceive as a sign of weakness; and he has turned against the people of Africa by forcing his liberal agenda on them against their consciences and refusing to stand up for oppressed minority groups.

Obviously, if you're a liberal, you like Obama. But don't try to paint this rosy picture of Obama that the rest of us should be impressed by; and don't try playing the race card, because that has absolutely nothing to do with it for the vast majority of us.

Trying to paint a rosy picture for any president is laughable including President Bush. I don't know how it is in your part of the world but I live in Collin County and there is no doubt in my mind that the President's background is a big reason why there is more of a backlash against him. I constantly read bumper stickers on cars stating Obama is Muslim or Obama is a terrorist. My brother is well connected to the republican party and believe me...you'd be surprised how many ignorant d-bags folks have become since Obama became president. If you don't think race nothing to do with it then you're blind because I firmly believe that there is a very large number of folks that believe in those remarks.
