I want you to support those rights, period. Why is less important to me.

I don't know politicians well enough to try to get into their minds --even their spouses and families frequently don't. To get elected typically means you are great one on a hundred million, less so one on one.

Long story short, I care about what you will do, what you will support and if you will follow through on what you say.

Now I am a contrarian and am mostly reacting to the overreaction about Obama's concert. I just think his positions on Iraq and civil rights are more important to how I vote than what one guy who sang at a concert for him said somewhere else.

This is about making decisions. If you let the spoken words of a man who only sang at a concert for Obama matter more than the words and actions of Obama himself, you are, um, well I just seriously hope you never pilot any plane I am a passenger in because you simply don't know how to prioritize.
