The point I was making, GUEST,Fantasmagoria, is that your attempting to associate Barack Obama in any important way with Hip-Hop/Rap appears to me to be yet another example of negative campaigning on your part. Dirty politics. Wallowing in manure, as I said. By "manure," I am not referring to Hip-Hop/Rap (admittedly, I am not a fan), but to your tactics.

You've already gone on record on other threads and under other names (GUEST,Guess who I am this time) as pushing Ralph Nader, and have personally and collectively attacked anyone who doesn't think Nader has a ghost of a chance (characteristically pulling about 2% of the vote on a good day) or would make a good president even if he did win.

I'd be more impressed if you were trying to convince me of why I should vote for Nader than I am with your repeated attempts to trash the other candidates. Rummaging aroung to find cheesy ways to trash other candidates is the nature of dirty politics. That's why I asked you if you were working for Karl Rove.
