This whole election in 08 is pathetic and it would serve the nation to choose none of the above.
We need someone we the people can mold.
Sharpton Chides Cheney Over Confederate Flag Flap
Tuesday, October 30th 2007, 12:59 AM
A Daily News photographer captured the 3-by-5 foot Dixie flag affixed to a door in the garage of the Clove Valley Gun and Rod Club in upstate Union Vale, N.Y.
"It's appalling for the VP to be at a private club displaying the flag of lynching, hate and murder," said the Rev. Al Sharpton. "It's the epitome of an insult."
Sharpton demanded Cheney distance himself from the exclusive club where the Stars and Bars was flown, and said he might hold a prayer vigil there.
"This is an outrage - he ought to leave immediately," Sharpton told The News. "He ought to apologize to the American people for being there in the first place."
"The VP did not see the flag and neither did anyone on staff," said McBride.
Helicopters buzzed overhead and cops blocked off roads around the spectacular 2,500-acre preserve, where Cheney visited once before in 2001.
We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.

Wow. You eat up what the biased media says, don't you.
Obama is the LEAST elitist of them all. Go ahead, do some research, and I'm sure you'll see. Or do you just always believe what Hillary Clinton spews forth?
And making name comparisons like O(bs)ama is just plain childish.
I know that no matter what I say, people will push that to extreme, unrealistic levels by saying I apparently think I'm better than anti-Obama people, DESPITE the fact that, according to the demographics, of which you are apparently unfamiliar with, Obama has the more educated crowd. I'm getting awfully tired of people trying to interpret what I'm saying into stretched out BS, and then putting those words in my mouth.
You are STILL saying that common sense should tell you to not vote for Obama. [edit on 5/19/2008 by bigbert81]
Berti .. he's an elitist. So is wifeypoo.
You do the research. How can you claim the speech I referenced is not elitist?
Well, you tried, but still ended up repeating the elitist better educated BS. Guess that about makes it official on how you feel.
No, but I am saying that common sense could be one of the components on why someone would decide not to vote for O(bs)ama.
