Sorry Mikey, but its the Obamacons here that are still snipping. I don’t give a flip about Wright anymore.

Obama has not appointed any Republicans yet. Only Democrats, non-partisans, and independents. You’ve got to pay attention to what he’s actually doing, not just what his media/web supports are saying.

The GOP is buying foreign cars and wants the domestic auto industry to die? Again, you’re not paying attention to. The GOP wants the big three to be restructured to be actually competitive in a world market, not just get them through to Obama’s next election.

Its a shame a man calling himself a christian (of the many) can say the things he said behind the plpit and get a tip of the hat from some people. Christians should stand against him and non christies should use him as the ultimate “what not to show the world” testimony. Really shouldnt ministers of any sort rise to a higher degree of accountability? The politicians are another smelly can!!! Its better such ads not run. Its even better if Obama had called him a fruit loop from the jump.Birds of a feather!!!!

Anti-Wright ads were aired quite extensively by those “independent” groups in Pennysylvania in the last couple of weeks before the election and they obviously didn’t do McCain a bit of good–he lost the state by over ten points.

Yes Teezy the campaign is over so stop snipping. Obama has been gracious, appointing Republicans and centrists even though he won a solid victory.

The GOP continues to shop their real contempt for America by buying foreign cars and wanting the domestic auto industry to die just because it isn`t in the south. That is very unpatriotic and wearing flag pins will not prove your patriotism. Enjoy being a regional party.

McCain has been incredibly gracious in defeat, too bad Obama’s supporters like the two commenters above can’t be as gracious in their victory. The campaign is over kids.

So-called “independent” groups ran similar ads, and McCain lost anyway. So running one more ad would have made a difference? I think not.

Obama rnounced Rev. Wright, who by all acounts has lost his mind. Wright has all but renounced Obama as well.

McCain lost not because he failed to make attacks like this, but BECAUSE he made attacks like this.

Republican die-hards still cling to the Rovian theory. They claim “if we only had gone further to the RIGHT and played DIRTY we would have won!”

But America was sick of both right-wing ideelogy and dirty politics. THAT is why Obama won, not because McCain pulled his punches.

BTW, what ever happened to McCain’s “honorable campaign”?

Yeah, the “blame America” context would have gone over wonderfully. Like a lead balloon.

This just goes to show how low the GOP can go. Even when McCain vowed not to bring the issue up, there are some in his camp who are hell bent on bringing the Rev. Wright issue up. Palin tried to bring it up and made a fool out of herself by doing so. What pisses me off is that they never want to play the sermon in the full context of how it was preached. If they would have, the American people would have realized that his words were being taken out of context.
