Why does Obama need to EXPLAIN himself? I'd rather he kept his big mouth shut, covered his face with his ears, and just went away. How much explaining was Mr Lott allowed to do? What good did it do? Look at the political fallout from Mr. Gingrich's MOTHER telling Connie Chung Hillary was a b!tch. Where was that saving grace explanation? Why even humor Obama and hear his explanation? Do we OWE it to him? I think even Jesus would say “That's mighty white of you.”

Its not his fault anyhow; he's a victim of ________. You fill in the blank.

Even in the event Osama wasn't at THIS particular service there is no way he could be a 20 year companion to Wright and still NOT know or not follow the rhetoric (and continue going). Its not like its forced on him like ‘life-partnership’ class is on Kindergartners. And that is the important issue. If I burn a cross in a black family's lawn, do they care what my explanation is? Even if it was a Halloween prank...its a hate crime and that = longer prison time.

As for Hitlery, her supporters are probably behind the sudden ‘surge’ in coverage. Too bad they couldn't support any ‘surges’ to support the war. The Cinton closet has many scandals and dead lawyers that need to resurface as well. None of Kennedy's scandals that ever “floated” [they sure didn't swim] to the surface ever prevented him from office.

The only liberal scandals that ever make the ‘news’ and actually prevent liberals from office, are scandals that serve some other liberal purpose... no explanations needed, but if you insist ‘Press 1 for English’ para Espanol primo numero dous.”

WE [conservatives] bring everything on ourselves. Too many in this country are apologists that think it can all be explained away and apologized for. We didn't think a conservative could win, so we put forth our most liberal candidate John McCain; he's good at explaining.

You want to talk about true conservatism? Look at Reagan. People thought he was crazy when he said we could ‘WIN’ the Cold War. Where is our ‘win’ attitude? We apologized for it a long time ago. So we are stuck with socialists, racists, liars, and back stabbers - that open the borders to criminals and terrorists, raise taxes, provide handouts for everything. But, they can explain. I don't want to vote for an explanation... our rights and freedoms are unalienable, as is our security. I want to vote for a LEADER of the FREE WORLD. We aren't trying to win anything we are trying to appease by selecting the ‘electable’ candidate. And to top it off we fall lock step with the liberal machine. Either way the MSM is going to push out Hillary or Obama or worst case give them a joint ticket. We need stop underestimating our opponents and realize we have to deal with BOTH of them. And come the General everything coming out now will be “old news;” a GOP hatchet job, and vast White Right Wing Conspiracy. Anything coming out later, and closer to the General, will make us racists, feminists or both. So we have John McCain to help us prove appeasement works; just ask Austria, Hungary, Poland, France, and Italy. Every election conservatives throw in the towel and start talking about the ‘next’ election. How many thought the Honorable Mr Bush couldn't possibly win in ‘04?

We talk about unpatriotic? When did it become patriotic to concede a fight? When did we lose sight of ‘may the better man win?’ Now its may the ‘most “electable” man win.’ We complain our voice isn't heard. Well, we send mixed signals; we don't speak clearly. Just look at who we back. We couldn't support Huckabee because we didn't think he could win. So now we have McCain,which we don't know if he can win. So we failed to back a relatively conservative candidate; got stuck with a liberal candidate... I think they're hearing us loud and clear; just like the teacher from the Peanut Gallery. But at least we can still complain and have an interesting explanation. Or maybe I'm just crazy.
