3. Will there come a point when you're going to stop throwing tantrums here?
Probably not. Too bad.

29. You are making yourself look foolish.
Why waste a post on this? It's barely a thought.

You just want to argue and taunt in a childish way.

This kind of ridicule is a tantrum.

It's all "us vs. them".

Ridiculous, ridiculous, ridiculous.

I absolutely support your passionate fight for Hillary Clinton. I only ask that you refrain from the childish crap. Maybe that's asking too much of you.

But I won't lump all Clinton supporters in with your behavior. They deserve better.

the likelihood that you'll comply seems pretty small, given the reasoning you display in this post.

7. I respect his choice as well.
His choice of church should have been a personal matter but his church was basically dragged out and flogged for the drooling masses on FOX. In light of that, and also because of the neverending faux outrage over pastor problems, it's just something that had to be done, sadly. I'm not religious but I understand it'd be a painful decision to come to.

But he and Michell were not just thinking of themselves...how dare the press call on members of the church...now that was uncalled for...

I'm fairly sure he's still a Christian after leaving the church, eh?

Oh, wait. That's not what you meant. You're accusing Obama of something that has no basis in reality! How silly of me to give you the benefit of the doubt.

25. Obama: "I could no more denounce him than I could the black community"
Now he has thrown them all under the bus. Political expedience, doesn't mean a thing. I no longer care why he didn't leave before. I don't care that he leaves now.

He is a bamboozler a hoodwinker, he has divided this party and cost us the GE.

34. Obviously you aren't listening so you deserve to look as silly as you do but
here's a hint* he's leaving in order to give his church some peace from the media and death threats and subject his church to the scrutiny of the public eye and have media yelling at him for things he has no control over. :eyes:

And it a quite reasonable and justifiable line of thinking.
Others do not share that.
In fact they believe the mirror opposite.
Very frustrating.

Are you coming up with all this commentary yourself, or quoting a Republican?

You mentioned that you are a Joe Scarborough fan above, and in every post on this thread you sound like you could be quoting him or some other right-winger verbatim.

I'm just trying to help you put your quotes in context- you are merely demonstrating how a right-winger attacks the DEM, right?

This being an ultra-lib site, which is why I love it so much, I imagine the vast majority of us applaud Senator Obama's decision.

Of course, he probably did it because he's a closeted Muslim. :rofl:
