During the nauseating Faith Forum with Rick Warren, there was one question that
triggered completely different answers by both candidates. The content and style
of each revealing some troublesome tendencies by Barack Obama.
When Warren asked Obama to name current Supreme Court justices that he WOULD NOT
have appointed, I thought "This is a great wonderful fat non-breaking curve ball ready to be hit out of the park." Instead here comes law professor Obama who can't help himself
and he starts hemming and hawing and we get Clarence Thomas as one, and then
after grudgingly talking about how brilliant Scalia is he sort of says he wouldn't have appointed Scalia.
McCain on the other hand without missing a beat says clearly and in plain English--"With all due respect, Ginsburg, Breyer, Souter and Stevens." Just the four decent non-right wing members of the court.
God damnit Obama! I have sent you between $900-$1000 dollars during your wonderful run for president, but if you can't answer Rick Warren's softball question without blinking an eye and saying: "Scalia, Thomas, Roberts, Alito." What is wrong with you? You were a law professor! If you don't see the FUCKING URGENCY in stopping the right-wing from getting another appointee to the SCOTUS then whey should anyone else? Why should a low-information swing voter?
I don't think you need to go into VIetnam Veteran swiftboating of McCain--LET OTHERS DO THAT--the way Bush let them do it in 04. But Bush didn't also run around saying everywhere that "John Kerry is a genuine war-hero...blah blah ." McCain wants to reduce you to an immature radical left-wing muslim and you keep calling him a hero.
KNOCK it the fuck OFF! Pretty soon a Clinton hating, DLChating left-winger like myself
will be clamoring for Hillary next week in Denver.
