WTF?!

Long time reader, first time poster....

I read your "blog" posting. Don't you concider yourself a progressive? How then can you stoop to the GOP tactics? Your post is referring to an article that is over a month old. You're trying to rehash something that is already dead, something that in my opinion shouldn't have had any bearing on the election anyway. How does it speak poorly to one's character to stay in a church even though you don't believe everything your preacher does or says. With that line of thinking, all Chatholics have bad character and believe pedophilia is OK.

I long for the day when all people are smart enough to stop relying on mythology to guide them on their moral paths...

This line from your post is also straight out of the GOP playbook: "Of course, it would be really nice if, instead of hiding what he's plannning, he actually sat down and told us specifically what he intends to do". If you would open your ears and listen, you would have already heard of many of the things he's planning to do.

I'm not saying you should like Obama, or even vote for him if you dislike hime so much, but how can someone that claims to be a progressive back McCain?

Why can't we progressive's just get along?
