Watch this man carefully - if the Democrat Party crashes and burns this year, it will be someone of his guile that will pick up the pieces.

'I mean, I'm a law professor at the University of Chicago teaching constitutional law.' - The University of Chicago has appears to have dramatically lowered its standards over the last couple of decades. The one recent response I had when I challenged a totally inaccurate attack article by a UC 'history' professors on events in Iraq was a personal attack on me and my ability to understand anything but Bush and Rumsfeld lies.
How about saying he's for less government? That right there is GARBAGE.
Perhaps when he said "I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power," he was referring to the ways one can come to be a Christian (especially in light of the fact that his mother was an athiest and his stepfather was Muslim -- he certainly found an unusual way to become one). He does say that he has a "personal relationship with Jesus Christ," buzz words for Christians, so he does seem to be following the "party line" when it comes to "the way."
While Obama and I disagree on most things, I do find the fact he can hold a conversation without Carvillian antics of smear, spin, and blantant lying about all subjects great and small refreshing.
The rhetoric thrown about in place of decent logical debate by the left is a smokescreen to hide bizarre views that won't hold up under the light of day.
Obama seems to shy away from that, for the most part. "We the People" are better served by it.
What, precisely, qualifies football coach/TV commentator Mike Ditka to be a United States Senator? Conservatives need to eschew the "cult of celebrity" that liberals so enthusiastically embrace. A better statement might be: "Their country called, and all the qualified Illinois Republican Congressmen and State Representatives preferred to keep their safe seats rather than answer."
and with jimmy carter calling bush a religious extremist.
It seems like the DNC has focus group data that suggests if they paint bush as too religious they have a chance.
IOW they DNC convetion IS bashing bush via bashing his faith.
Of course they are attacking everyone of faith in the process but they think by using Carter, Reagan, and unopposed obama they will win the argument.
(oh Mr. Ditka where are you when we need you!)
Obama sounds like a cross between New Age and Marxism to me.
When did President George W. Bush say "God told me to do it"?
Barack Obama is more slick than Slick Willie and a bigger liberal than Ted Kennedy. That's NOT good government.
No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.
Basically, he is appealing to Christians he thinks are too dumb to analyze what he is really saying. The liberals, secularists, etc. are on board anyway.
What a man or woman believes instructs his public policies; ergo, Mr. Obama with his secularist, atheist, Moslem upbringing, believes killing of innocents is okay; fundamentalist (read believers in the Word of God and Jesus Christ) are extreme and to be kept out of govt. He teaches Constitutional law but hasn't a clue about original intent--or believes it has passed away as the Constitution has "evolved."
I have listened to this guy, and he sounds wonderful, but so does the Communist Manifesto sound wonderful in reading. In actual practice, it is statist, totalitarian and scary--like Democrats, Barry Lynn, and company, and Mr. Obama.
vaudine
It is not a cult as much as a only shot of winning.
We have a senate race that is unopposed and the shoe in right now is a faux christian who is saying the way to be christian is to be a practicing atheist. He is also attacking bush by trying to move from "faith" to atheist.
The DNC is not moving from left to right in politics, they are moving from anti-religious to born again for the cameras.
Thanoz, I accept that you are too afraid to debate in the open, but stop playing the childish email game.
You too? LOL
