4. I'm hoping you are not serious. We are not electing a spiritual leader -
at least I am not.

5. That's going a bit far.
I don't need my President to serve as my "moral and spiritual leader". I'd be voting for Huckabee if that were the case.

7. This is a joke right? A corrupt Chicago pol is a moral and spiritual leader?
Excuse me but Obama is hardly a saint. As we will shortly be informed.

It sounds more like the original poster is trying to get people to vote against the Democrats rather than for Democrats by trying to make one of us sound like a religious idiot. What is that idiot's real agenda?

25. If Obama wins the popular vote, but super-delegates give Clinton the nomination
I would vote for Obama if he started a new Progressive Party.

I'm sick of the will of the people being ignored!

Exactly.
This person is intentionally trying to get people to bash Obama and judging by the replies, they bought it hook, line, and sinker.

31. The OP also thinks "gays are not exactly representative of America"
Edited on Thu Feb-14-08 01:04 AM by ruggerson
Why do I get the feeling that the OP was the exact target group for those evangelical rallies?

35. Rezko? Surrogate Lobbyists? Selma?
Claims to not take a dime of lobbyist money but has 10 federally registered lobbyist bundlers (to Hillary's 20) and takes money from surrogate lobbyists.

Claimed in front of American civil rights leaders to have been conceived as a result of Selma, but was born 2 years before it happened!


http://www.blackagendareport.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=463&Itemid=34

"Trying to sound authentically African-American during a speech memorializing the forty-second anniversary of the 1965 Voting Rights March at the Pettis Bridge in Selma, Obama claimed that his black (Kenyan) father and white (Kansan) mother married and conceived the future Barockstar because of the great Civil Rights struggles fought in Selma and Birmingham, Alabama. "There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama," Obama intoned, "because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born."

"So don't tell me I don't have a claim on Selma, Alabama," Obama droned on. "Don't tell me I'm not coming home to Selma, Alabama. I'm here because somebody marched. I'm here because you all sacrificed for me" (Obama 2007).

Wow. Too bad Barack Obama Jr. was born in 1961, two years before the famous campaign to desegregate Birmingham, three years before the Civil Rights Act, and four years before the famous Selma march!

It's true that Obama's immaculate multicultural conception came four years after the Montgomery Bus Boycott, but his parents "getting together" across racial didn't have much to do with the Civil Rights Movement. It was more likely a reflection of the fact that his home island of Hawaii was relatively "tolerant" on racial questions - a distant geographic and cultural cry from the racially segregated U.S. South to which Obama absurdly tried to claim strong biographical connection."

36. Now, this is pretty culty
It might be an unfair label, but posts like this show how that meme arose. Purity? If anyone starts talking about purity, that inspires me to run the other way.

41. Purity is an extremely dangerous political concept.
1) If you believe your politicians are pure, you're a fool.
2) If you believe that your fellow countrymen should be pure, you're a fascist.
3) If you believe that your country needs a 'spiritual leader', you're a theocrat.
