Newsflash for ya bud...
This site is by no means a crosss section of America. Those of us on this site, myself included, are very enthusiastic about politics and our positions....most Americans only care about their families, friends and reltives....and politics comes around 1 month every 4 years....
RW's, as you so eloquently put it, are those with an ideology....most dont give a crap about Obamas faith....
I certainly dont care what his faith is...I wouldnt care if Romney were an atheist....if I felt he will help my family frineds and relatives while preserving the constitution, I would vote for him.
FYI.....
Lou Alcindor was an outstanding basketball player. So was Kareem Abdul Jabaar.
Cascious Clay (sp?) was a great boxer. So was Mohammed Ali.Take it from there.
I had to snicker about this highlighted part a bit. Sorta reminds me of those types that defend their real thoughts with "Oh, but I have many black friends"....
Dont ya just love that line?
When people say that to my face, I say to them...Really? Name two.
They usually do it...one is a guy they see on the train and the other is a guy from work...another a friend from high school or college...etc etc etc.....
Where do they live I ask them?
Are they married?
Any kids?
Usually by the 4th or 5th question they call me a racist and walk away.
You do realize, of course...that was not the point I was making......yeah...you do.....never mind.
