An Amazingly Ridiculous Suggestion!!!

MOVEON YOU HAVE ENTIRELY MISSED THE POINT. DON'T PLAY ON THEIR PLAYGROUND.

(I sent a version to them on their website...too)

I wish Obama could be as honest as he ought to be about religion to
begin with.
Religion provides fewer benefits to society than it is given credit for...
Billy Graham was an unrepentant anti-Semite and counselor to how many
presidents?
Reagan consulted an astrologer for God's Sake! (so to speak...)
The religion of Presidents is suspect on many levels.

Race is an issue in this race, nothing wonderful he says will change
anyone's mind.
If the race baiters on the right wish to do so, and they do and have,
they will try to make race "THE ISSUE".

It is "nice" to see you think sending many people an Obama speech
about race and or religion will change anything...It won't. Preaching
to the choir for one thing...

OBAMA SHOULD SIMPLY SAY, DOES ANYONE THINK THAT BEING OF MIXED RACIAL
BACKGROUND MEANS I AM SOMEHOW INCAPABLE OF BEING PRESIDENT? WHERE DID
THE AMERICAN DREAM GO?

THE YOUTH VOTE HAS FEWER RACE HANG UPS. Get them registered and
voting... college tuition and vocational training money at reasonable
interest rates...Universal Health Care...

MCCAIN WILL INSTITUTE THE DRAFT TO FUEL WARS THAT WILL LAST 100 YEARS.

MCCAIN IS TOO OLD. PERIOD. MAKE MCCAIN RUN ON HIS AGE.

OBAMA: He's not running on HIS race. He's running on OUR future.

OKAY

(Moveon wants me to send it to everyone I know. Well, sorry, I'm not
doing that.

I AGREE WITH OBAMA. FORGET ABOUT RACE IN THIS CAMPAIGN, IT IS A
DISTRACTION AND WORSE, NOT A WINNING STRATEGY. GET OUT OF THEIR
SANDBOX. NOT ONE EXTRA VOTE WILL BE OBTAINED BY ANYONE WHO WASN'T
READY TO VOTE FOR OBAMA BY READING OR HEARING A SPEECH...AT LEAST NOT
BECAUSE OF THE CONTENT THEREOF!
