<p>Interesting article:</p>
<p>Mr</a>. Right?</p>
<p>No!</p>
<p>Obama is a Liberal/Radical! Look at his friends like Ayers!</p>
<p>Enough BedHead.</p>
<p>Never enough. ;)</p>
<p>Take for instance the new MSNBC/Wall Street Journal Poll:</p>
<p>[msnbc.com</a> Video Player](<a href=“http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/25107443#25107443]msnbc.com”>http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/25107443#25107443)</p>

<p>McCain is a hater/mortgage crisis causer! Look at his friends like Hagee and Gramm!</p>
<p>Obamacons, lol</p>
<p>nbachris2788,</p>
<p>Look at why Obama’s buddy Johnson had to quit! Johnson helped with the mortgage crisis. The Wall Street Journal reported that he had received loans worth $1.7 million from the troubled subprime lender, Countrywide Home Loans, through a special arrangement with the company’s CEO. </p>
<p>Obama’s friends of 20 years that are radical they we know of today are: Ayres, Wright, Pflager, Johnson, Rezko, Holder. </p>
<p>Just wait there will be more!</p>
<p>Do you understand the definition of the word radical?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Wow, wing-nut in the house.</p>
<p>“Ayres, Wright, Pflager, Johnson, Rezko, Holder”</p>
<p>Birds of a feather flock together!</p>
<p>Obama is the most liberal senator in the United States. Sorry, no one who is republican or values conservative ideals will ever vote for him.</p>
<p>You can’t define a person by his “friends.” And if you’re going to do so, what about the lobbyists McCain’s running around with?</p>
<p>Forget lobbyists, magneticpoet, Obamas “friends” are much closer to him than lobbyists.</p>
<p>i really i don’t understand how a conservative can support obama.</p>
<p>It’s precisely because of foolhardy folks like AMom2 (and sage predictions in books like Lichtman’s “13 Keys To The Presidency”) that Obama will (thankfully!) easily prevent another term of Dubya!</p>
<p>Indeed, I hear conservatives every day tell me that (like respected REPUBLICAN generals!) they are worried about the termperament of McCain and wouldn’t think of voting for him.</p>
<p>Finally, the doddering old fool is an embarrassment to himself and his party when so MANY other older statesmen at age 71 are so coherent. Keith Olbermann had a neat special comment yesterday that is already making the rounds on the internet. Can’t you just wait for the town halls and the debates to begin! Before you know it, the repubs will wish they had chosen ANYONE but McCain!</p>
<p>I can’t wait for the Townhall meetings, because without a script Obama doesn’t know what to say. Obama is a package, an empty suit.</p>
<p>Don’t make this election about ideals and labels. Honestly it’s either a continuation of the Bush economic/foreign policies (McCain) or a solution to the problems created in these past 8 years (Obama).</p>
<p>I’m fed up with the status quo.</p>
<p>And why do people so confidently degrade Obama just because of people he is associated with? First of all, it’s an ad hominem fallacy. The election should be about the issues, the direction America is headed in. We are basically hiring a President – and since when do employers care more about the associations/race of the person over his/her abilities and solutions? Just give me someone who can get the job done properly, and I won’t care if he/she is Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, black, white, asian, whatever.
Secondly, it’s naive to assume that people merely connected to Obama have control over his character. </p>
<p>McCain was recently endorsed by a preacher (forgot the name at the moment) who also has made rather radical remarks (anti-semitic, etc). But I don’t hold that against McCain, who is honestly a great man. What I do dislike about the conservative platform is the preservation of the status quo and the relatively negative direction I believe it will take us in. In essence, I’m sticking to the issues because it’s the only way a President will honestly affect our day-to-day lives… not his/her race/background/associations.</p>
<p>America has progressed because it is neither too conservative nor too liberal. There have been times throughout history where one approach has been better than the other. This time, it’s all in the democrats’ favor.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah, the man who was editor of law review in his class at Harvard won’t have anything to say. Who doesn’t have anything to say would be you – and during these town halls, McCain.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This doesn’t exonerate McCain from his marriage to Phil Gramm. My point is that we shouldn’t play guilt-by-association, because if we do, we might as well hate on George Washington for knowing and befriending slave owners, not to mention being one himself.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Really? Obama is more liberal than Russ Feingold or Bernie Sanders (who is a socialist)?</p>
<p>Those liberal rankings are not accurate because in an election year, presidential candidates tend to miss all but the most contested senate votes. So Obama cast a lot fewer votes than the average Democratic senator because he had to campaign and raise funds, and the only ones he was able to show up for were the ones that his party really needed him on. Thus, his fallacious “most liberal” ranking.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Really? Who’s more important to your presidency? Your lifelong sidekick or the guy who’s funding your political ambitions?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Probably because of affirmative action. Didn’t Geraldine Ferraro tell you? Being black is like winning the lottery in America! That’s why there have such a disproportionate number of black presidents, senators, and CEOs.</p>
