Sorry—the deal in this country is, innocent until proven guilty, all of the time.
There isn't even any smoke; there's no evidence of wrongdoing. If there were, there could and would be an investigation. Lacking that, and given that Obama is complying with the law, there's nothing there.
You may be right. But don't give me the innocent until proven guilty thing in politics. Bush didn't do a damn thing illegal with Iraq, and he's been crucified a thousand times on this board.
Again, why hide it if you've got nothing to hide? Why hasn't Obama released his grades from school? Why hide where your money is coming from? Why hide your relationship with your pastor, with early political advisors? Why hide records of your community orginizer days? Why hide the details of your tax plan from people who can't understand them? Why hide anything at all?
I've obviously gone off track, because I've once again run into a wall of loyalty that is clearly impossible to discuss the issue with. Most of you, would rather let Obama do what he wants based on a technicality he's been able to exploit, rather than know the truth about who all has donated to his campaign.
You are so blinded by your desire to see Obama win, that you don't care about things you SHOULD care about (I'm not talkign about all that stuff I listed, just mostly the contributions thing, and the tax issues). It blows my mind that you all LIKE That he went back on his promise to take public funds, because you just want to see him win.
You don't care he has moved to the right or reversed his position on Iraq, Isreal, Iran, offshore drilling, etc... because you want to see him win at all costs.
I probably shouldn't have posted anything at all today, as it hasn't done anyone any good, and I've just frustrated myself again. It looked there for a bit that some good discussion was happening, and at least one person agreed Obama should be open about the donations... but there literally is a wall there...
Most of you can't accept a POV as at all valid if it threatens to make you think any less of Obama. Almost any opinion I express is going to be along the lines of doing that, as I think he will destroy this country if elected, and it sickens me to see him able to trick smart people into buying his rhetoric that has been carefully crafted to do just that.
Since said opinions are unwanted, I will attempt to remove them again.
