Will Tinker be okay with kids saying Jewish prayers in school? Or Muslim? Besides if he's Jewish I would think he's attending Synagogues not Churches.

Good call from Obama.

I would like to see the end of negative campaigning. It really seems so childish. Think about it!!!

But if folks attack you, its hard not to defend yourself. bad actions begat bad actions. So it ALL of this needs to stop. Hopefully we will gain respect for one another and common sense ONE DAY!!!!.

We Americans are terrific folks—we should act like it!

OBAMA, 08

I commend Obama for his comments.
Its too often (Democrats pay attention) The democratic party uses race in its campaign. I thought it was a local issue (Here in Detroit/Michigan) but it seems to be everywhere.
Its not the Republicans using race, this is Democrat vs. democrat. STOP IT.
Its one of the things that make me independent.

Although this was difficult to read I'll try to answer.
Now Kenn I think you understand as well as I do that I could grow through a long list of associations that John McCain has had and still does have. Just look at the people he has running his campaign right now. It seems that some illegal activity is popping up daily in his campaign. I can counter your flag pin by saying John McCain does not wear a flag pin. I can counter rezco with Keating. I can state that John McCain likes calling his wife the C word and left his first wife for a younger and much more wealthy wife. Or how he was against everything eight years ago that he stands for today.
There is a counter argument for all the mud slinging on both sides.
My question to you is why do you support McCain? Is it his energy policies? His stand on the wars we are currently fighting? His plan for health care and social security?
These is the kind of debate we should be having. When you post these nonsensical and misspelled rants it makes it difficult for people to take you seriously.
You should at least be able to spell the last name of the person you are attacking! His name is spelled Obama. Just one M Kenn.

I'm originally from Nashville, now living in Ohio.
I'm totally embarrassed over the actions of my home state. Races have always been dirty there, but since Harold Ford's defeat, they've gone to the bottom of the barrel. Racism abounds in the south, and it just makes me sick. I'm just tired of all the negativity in general. Including the Presidential election.

I know First Read wants to make a thread about Obama, but the racism, anger and bittern in Mrs Tinker is the second most detestable comment this year.

The first one came from the lips of a delusional Hillary Clinton raising the "assassination issue".

Kenn. shut up.

Tinker: you are embarrassing Democrats. If you want to be a part of the right wing evangelistic nut case party, go ahead, but in this race, keep your sniping to the issues. If the white, Jewish guy is a better leader for your community, and they support him, then that's that. You shouldn't have to win by slinging dog poop (you are way past mud). I am SICK AND TIRED of bitchy Dems using this kind of divisive tactics on our own--save that for the Republicans if you make it that far!

Obama should but out, and start talking tougher himself.

Unless he knows all the details of that primary, it seems to me he's just playing politics.

There are a ton of Jews in Florida ready to screw up the election again, this time just because Obama is black. And Joe Lieberman isn't helping to set them straight.

They are just as wrong as Tinker's divisive advertising.

More brilliant thoughts from "kenn." Little wonder, he/she is so thought provoking with his/her grammatically, punctually and capitalized rants that make absolutely no sense whatsoever. "kenn," do us all a favor and take a typing class, or better yet an elementary school language arts class or two and come back then. Perhaps someone might actually take you seriously if you could write in complete sentences and make sense grammatically. This teacher would be shocked if you were educated in the US, though given NCLB and our current 2-term President, perhaps I shouldn't be. In fact, continue posting as you do "kenn," you just prove my point every time you do.
Working towards a better future, Obama/Biden '08!

Rep. Joyner, that Floridian politician that represented Hillary to the rules, and by-laws committee, and was embarrassingly shrill in word, and deed that day, later defended her behavior, and Hillary's for going back on her word with regard to Michigan, and Florida as just 'politics'. She repeated over, and over to an interviewer, "that's politics", "that's politics"; as if a politician's actions will not be judged as sinful when they are in fact just that.

Senator Obama is correct to seek to raise the level of decency in our political process. I believe G-D is with him in his endeavor to do so.

I am new to politics, as someone mentioned earlier today. It is a dirty business I am looking forward to abandoning come November; if I am not already hopelessly addicted.

The blogger also jokingly asked about the importance of checking tire pressure. Said McCain: "We got to make sure that we have that public service announcement, but it doesn't solve our energy problem."

Has anyone in the media bothered to ask Sen. McCain why he deliberately and blantantly attempts to distort and reduce Sen. Obama's energy policy to a pressure gauge?

How come there is never a follow up to such misleading answers by Sen. McCain. Like; Senator, do you believe that Sen. Obama's plan to solve our energy problems is solely based on having people inflate their tires? Is that what you believe Senator?

Come on fellas, do your job; someone, anyone!!

Lord knows the repulics are awful enough, we don't need democrats getting ugly at each other. I think it would be wonderful to have an AA representing a mostly AA district if she is honorable. But this kind of thing does'nt seem that honorable. What a shame. Obama as usual has taken the high road and sets a good example for the nation . And considering the beating he's taken from a lot of white people, I think he has kept a very cool head. Sometimes I am saddened that my white brothers and sisters act like morons and bigots. Several of my children have married or dated inter racialy and I am proud that they don't see color barriers in the way that so many whites do. I hope that I have helped to instill that sensability in them. Thank God our younger generation is getting to a better place with color blindness.

That doesn't mean that Senator Obama can ignore these negative attacks. They should have already learned what happened four years ago to John Kerry. There is no way that Senator Obama can run a positive campaign against Senator McCain. People already think he's a weak candidate, who isn't tough enough. Senator Obama needs to hit McCain really hard on the real issues that matter to Americans.

Let's think back to George H. W. Bush's campaign promise: "Read my lips...no new taxes!" Same kind of promise from McCain, except when it comes to fixing Social Security, "you've got to say, 'Look, everything is on the table, let's sit down at the table.'"

Talk about empty words - what are you supposed to believe from the GOP?

Stve Cohen has been a refreshing breath of fresh air from the Memphis political machine. While I like and voted for Harold Ford Jr., his family are kooky and crooked criminals. Ms. Tinker's ad simply divides more a city that has been divided by race for far too long. And if she wins the primary today, I hope Arkansas or Mississippi with take Memphis and all its drama off our hands.

And once again, bravo to Senator Obama for taking the high road.

Good for the next president. It's a shame that such trash still appeals in parts of the country. I'd like to see Gov. Bredesen speak up about it, too. All anyone running for office in Okla. has to say is that they're a Christian, love football and family and sneer at the word liberal. Sad for America.
