Democrats in 2008: Re: [Dems2008] Re: The Obama campaign has become a religious movement....

We have all given our personal opinions of why we have chosen our candidate. I have not seen one post from you about what causes you to choose Hillary. I think each of us on the forum have researched both candidates and come down on one side or the other. Just because I don't agree with you it does not make my opinion of any less value than yours.

Here you go watch this gentleman as the reporter tries to talk over him. The reporter didn't expect these great answers.

PS you didn't ask for specific facts. I can give you all the facts you want. Just let me know what questions you are not sure of. No one has called him a messiah or a god. If you haven't been to his website barackobama.com you can see all of his issues, you can read everyone of his speeches you can find out more about the man.

You have made my point for me! Neither one of you has offered any
tangible critique of my post, you both just resorted to dismissive
insults. That is the problem with the Obama campaign, you lack
details and facts because it's more fun to talk about "hope"
and "change".
