Uhh, Joel? I would really appreciate an answer, I'm honestly interested in what you think about Obama's past associations and long history of Marxist leanings. Does it not matter to you, is it irrelevant, do you believe he is "different" now, do you just think financially you will get more from him than McCain? I want to understand what the thought process is in evaluating all this information and still backing him? A lot of seemingly intelligent people endorse him, and I find it completely baffling (except when there is potential personal gain, like Colin Powell- who I still respect). It's like having a math professor add 2+2 and get 8 for the answer. I'm serious, I don't get it, I'm not messing with you here, I'm trying to understand his followers mindset.
