I think that everyone has bias remarks here. Isn't this why this forum exist? We all share our feelings about our candidates. At least I don't call anyone Hypocrite or dishonest as you personally did with me. I address the issues with facts that everyone already know.

It seems though, that there are more Obama fans here than Hillary's and this is why I feel that I get more heat in here with my comments.

It doesn't really surprise me that there are more Obama fans in general. Its not hard to like Obama. He's a nice guy. He doesn't have hordes of hatchet men going about sifting through HRC's past to come up with a new political weapon to kneecap her with. I think most Obama fans respect the abilities of HRC but wish she would stop trying to destroy the man who beat her fair and square. If she had closed things up on Feb 5th like she was hoping to, Obama would have left the race a long time ago, he wouldn't still be hanging around on the slim chance that he could dig something up on her that would force her to resign from the race. That's a destructive kind of politics and that's not what Obama is about. Its sad though that Hillary supporters are completely OK with that kind of politics.

Except you haven't done that. You have not been starting pro-Hillary topics. You have been very busy the past few days posting anti-Obama topics.

As a newcomer here, it was not immediately apparent to me if you were attacking Obama because you are a Paul, Hillary, Nader, Bozo the Clown, or a McCain supporter.

So why not devote some of your prodiguous energy to starting some topics about all the great things Hillary is going to do for America?

I think the LAST thing you want to do is go head to head on character issues between Obama and Clinton. That's going to bite you like it did in this topic.

There's nothing "at least" about telling it the way it is. Hypocrisy can and should be identified. Do you admit that you use double standards? Do you think you should continue to use them?

I don't know, but we could ask your candidate Obama about that. He sat in a church listening to all that crap for 20 years and didn't walk away. At least Oprah had the balls to walk away from there.

He's against the holiday gas tax elimination, but he voted for it when he was a state senator.

I don't know why you're making this about me! If you don't like me because of my comments on Obama then BAN me.

I'm not insulting any one in here other than the people who make those comments personal.

We are here to discuss our points of views on our candidates and the way we see our opposite candidates. Is it not?

I'm not asking Obama or Oprah. I'm asking you. You can answer that without trying to change the subject. Give it a shot. Do you think it's right to hold double standards? Do you think you should continue using them?

I'm discussing your arguments, and how they are biased in how you apply them. I don't need you to tell me to ban you. If I feel you need to be banned, I will do so. I don't need your advice on that.

I am discussing your point of view on our candidates and asking you if you feel the bias in your point of view is something that is justified.

Well at least we know where Michelle Obama stands. Her thesis and experience at Princeton indicate that she sees only in black and white.

Didn't the OP start with another reason you can't trust OBs

I see posts about the gas tax and his posturing and we know it differs from the other 2. Is that a reason to mistrust him? I don't think so. if you don't want to trust Oprahma then there are plenty of reasons, just like there are for HillBilly as well as Mr keating five (oops he got away with that one)

They all stink

Watch out for W.E.B. though, I heard he has a poster of Hillary to help him get in the mood............

WEB- i figured you needed a chuckle

That's like saying that because civil rights leaders wanted human rights, that they only see in black and white. Your knowledge of where Michelle Obama stands is just irrational hatred on her.
