Dem Debate: Who Won?
After watching this video, I’d have to agree with Jay, McCain might have been the winner.
Clinton revisits Wright’s role
Sen. Barack Obama was treated like the Democratic front-runner for the first time in a debate last night — fielding hard questions about his ties to a 1970s domestic terrorist, his racially divisive church and his electability.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton charged her rival has failed to fully explain his longtime ties to the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., calling it deplorable that Mr. Obama didn’t leave the church after his pastor made disparaging remarks about the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Now, I’ll be honest, I didn’t watch the debate. I actually had better things to do than listen to politicians spout their same tired rhetoric. Judging from what I’ve read, and heard, B. still won’t give a believable explanation for his relationships with both Wright, and Ayers.
Mr. Obama, of Illinois, said the snippets of Mr. Wright’s sermons widely viewed on YouTube.com do not represent the totality of the good works performed by the pastor and his church.
I’m fairly sure Hamas does a few good things for the common folks too, but that doesn’t mean they should be hailed as humanitarian, should it? Wright’s association with a major racist like Farrakhan, and his blaming of the U.S. for 9/11 would definitely raise my eyebrows while sitting in the pews. I, as a Christian, could no longer have anything to do with such a person, or a church ‘pastored’ by him.
Both Democrat candidates profess to be Christian, yet nothing in their actions or policies are Christ like.
