Isnt this kind of silly nit picking exactly whats allowed the Bush administration to be victorious. Why can't people talk about the issues that effect Americans. The statements of Wright aren't causing the subprime mortgage crisis nor are they causing inflation, nor have they impacted our dependence on foreign oil. Do people forget that we're supposed to be voting in someone who has plans to address these issues and not a religious advisor? I really don't get it.
Well said!!!

But sadly, campaigns of smear have become the norm. "Bread and circuses" instead of substance.

I voiced my disgust with campaigns of smear when it was used in 2000 against Sen. McCain in the primaries. I cannot support him now, because of his stated policies. It his his words that guide me, not those that someone else has said and yet someone else has tried (falsely) to pin on him.
