[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 335272, member: 2189"] I'll 2nd that motion! Politicians these days IMHO lack any real principles and as such this is why they seem to change positions all the time on various subjects. Once the camera rolls, they completely forget their past and when caught in the act, it's the old standard, "I misspoke!" The good Rev. Wright has provided the real fireworks this election season and of course everyone is focused on his "GD America", "Chickens come home to roost", "gov't created AIDS" etc. etc. but the one at least to my surprise that is going unnoticed or at least it seems to me is when the good Rev. was asked about Obama's recent disclaimer of him, Rev. Wright said (paraphrased a bit) "I'm a preacher, he's a politician. I say what I have to say and [B][U]"He sez what HE HAS TO SAY![/U][/B] That is the core mark IMO of a true unprincipled political animal and it also IMO sez volumes of how he was able to give some (socalled) great antiwar speeches before his election to the Senate and then once elected vote for every monetary authorization that comes down the pike for war. I'll say more on this in the Obama Preacher thread later but the point is we have people running for office on the major party tickets that have [SIZE=5][U]ZERO[/U] [/SIZE][SIZE=2]principles and will say and do whatever it takes to get elected and this election is proving it more and more.[/SIZE] It's ashame people don't vote like they shop. I mean if you go into a store and maybe they carry 25% of the stuff you want and that's all they'll every carry, you find and go to another store. What happens when a retailer or some service provider constantly tells you one thing and then 80% of the time never comes through on what they say they will, do you continue to do business with that person or company? Who would ship with UPS if we could only delivery 20% of our total packages? As for shopping at that other store, maybe the prices are a bit higher, not as trendy or great curb appeal, don't have all the eye candy or the great music and atomsphere that is all really smoke and mirrors but everything you need or at least 80% or more is under one roof so what do you do? You shop there and become a loyal customer because you are getting exactly what you want and pay for. We'll do that for shoes, pants, BBQ sauce, milk, eggs, bread, salad dressing, motor oil, cars, TV's and the list goes on but when it comes to voting for leaders who effect in many ways the very life we live and the means to buy that BBQ sauce, we'll continue to go to the 25% store and wonder over and over again why our societal world so :censored: UP!
