2)As asinine as her church's beliefs may be it doesnt have any bearing on her candidacy since they are not political rantings. Now Jeremiah Wright's teachings since the are not biblical/spirtual and are radically political then they play a legitimate role in the debate if a candidate subscribes to such teachings.

They have everything to do with her candidacy. Religion has bled way too much into the public sector in many tangible ways. And candidates often mislead people based on their "faith" even if they do terrible things in office, such as prevent the sharing of even the most basic information to the public and go around doing things behind the American people's back (like abusing prisoner's in Guantonomo Bay and creating an illegal wiretapping program).
It greatly affects the kind of people they will nominate to the Supreme Court too, which when you are that close to being President is an important consideration.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
