What you don't hear about though is the other 20 years...not just the few sound bites. I'll be the man has done a lot of good preaching over those years...if he's helped people live better lives and help others in the name of Jesus that has to be taken into account.
Regardless, you become a member of a church, not a groupie to the pastor. I think most people once they become a member of a church place a lot value on the congregation they're a part of.

First, you say you have taken the time to understand the issue. Then, you say that "you bet" he has done some good preaching. In one sentence you say that you learned the facts, the next sentence you start off by admitting you have no idea what the facts are, but that you're betting the facts make Obama look like something other than a jerk. You can't have it both ways Spence. Either yhou know the facts, or you will blindly speculate that Obama is flawless.
"I'll bet the man has done a lot of good preaching over those years"
Spence is "betting" that Wright has done a lot of good preaching. Why does Spence make this bet? Because it makes Obama look good! In spenceworld, you cannot say anything bad about Obama, remember...
"if he's helped people live better lives and help others in the name of Jesus that has to be taken into account."
Spence, with Romney's dog thing, you said the decision to put the dog on the roof says a lot about Romney's character. Well Spence, USING YOUR LOGIC, I bet Romney did a lot of good things with that dog, too. I mean, they took the dog to a cabin in the woods, I'm sure the Irish setter had a good time there. Using your logic, "that has to be taken into account.", right? RIGHT??!!
In Spenceworld, Obama's bad things need to be offset by his good qualities! But Romney's bad things can be looked at in isolation, to attack him.
Do I have that about right, Spence?
I mean, MY GOD Spence. Do you listen to yourself?
