Subject: RE: BS: McCain/Lieberman Vs. Clinton/Obama?
For the record. In both of the last 2 presidential elections I voted for the Democratic candidate. If Hillary is the nominee I will vote Democratic again.

I am now and have always been against the Iraq war. I feel that it was the stupidist foreign policy blunder in the history of our country. However, Israel had nothing to do with this war. It was strictly Dick Cheyney's greed for the oil and Dubyah's desire to finish the job that his father started but never completed.

My objection to Obama is strictly based upon his association with Rev. Wright, a man full of vitriolic hatred who's church honored none other than the arch anti-semite, Louis Farrakhan. Obama was a member of this church for the past 20 years and could not be so naive that he failed to realize what was being said and preached there. By his own admission he was close to and admired the Rev. Wright and only when the words of hatred emerged on You Tube did he disavow the offensive statements but still respects his pastor and looks up to him. I watched Obama's famous "We The People" speech in which he tries to explain everything away based upon the history of Jim Crow in this country. When you cut through all the fancy words and rhetoric that has all you folks here hypnotized, his response boils down to 4 words, "Whitey doesn't get it". Well, I have news for him. Whitey does not have to get it. We have a rule in this country that "The customer is always right" and in this case "The voter is always right". Come November people are going to vote their fears and their prejudices and McCain will see to it that Obama runs against Rev Wright just like Dukakis had to run against Willie Horton.
