Political Punch

The lessor of two evils? McCain or Obama? Let me begin here. As I read all the comments on McCains beliefs or Obama's. My opinion is simply this. There is a wolf in sheeps clothing lurking. I can not believe that someone can attend a group or functions or conventions,or gathering of people, or a church and listen to racial comments for 20 years and not have been effected in ways we can only imagine. Obama is nothing more than covering his motives. However, as much as I hate this bickering of church and state, I do believe its only opened a blind maybe just enough that hopfully we can see what truly lies behind Obmam's thoughts and beliefs. If elected President, I truly will worry where he leads our nation. McCain might be older than any other President if he is elected. However, experiance comes with age. As a former Marine I know which has more experiance to lead our great military and failing Nation. I have never been Rep. or a Dem. I have always been for who I felt is the best to lead our nation. Bush has torn apart this country by his lies, and his tactics, not to mention his miserable military leadership. However, that does not mean that the Rep. party is this horrible group of people that will only carry on Bushes mistakes.
I know most people running for office tend to balance between the truth and a lie. They want to win. However, I also still believe in honor, courage and commitment that is instilled in a person when you take the oath of serving your country as a military personal. Let's really speak the truth here. People are remember for the things they do, not for all the things they aquiered in possesions and wealth. IN the end they are remembered for their honor and how they treated others. Bush will be remembered not as a great savor to the world, but a lier. He certainly does not have his fathers charector. Obama, is a great speaker,just like Hilter was. This time for a change and lets all work together and reunite the country is nothing more than a champain slogan. Lets look beyond his slogan. Lets start to open our eyes and see that he would not of stayed in his church for 20 years if he did not believe in what was tought. If he so hated that type of remarks as his "former" pastor spoke why then did he decide after 20 years and running for the highest power in the world before he denounce his pastor.
LIke Germany, years ago....the people were struggling in hardships, wanted a change. Here now comes a captivating speaker with great promisses of hope and power. The people were mis lead and were blinded by his speaches. Obama might not be Hitler per-say because I do not believe Obama is evil...but there are red flags flapping all around him. McCain might not of been my first choice but Obama was never a choice.
I would love to believe in Obama of reuniting our country and lets make a change...however, I only believe that it will not be the change we all hoped for. McCain has my support this time around. Obama I can only hope that people will open their eyes and not let their struggles and hardship blind them to words of hope.

As the Washington Time story shows, Jews agree with Hagee.

It's a relief that Pastor Hagee has been vindicated by the Jews in that story. Pastor Hagee is a scholar and could not have been wrong about what he said, and, now, Jews have come forward to say that he, indeed, has the correct interpretation of the Word of God on the subject.

Thanks, Paula, for correcting that.

so fact >>>> so fast

I wonder whether the accurate and objective journalists at the networks will report that Jewish scholars are behind Pastor Hagee's version of the Word of God.

It's always nice when the goofy Libs jump the gun and speak too soon because, then, they look so foolish. Or should I say look even more foolish.

I'm also happy to see that Jews are coming to the aid of Pastor Hagee, backing up his statements as being scriptural.

The only ones complaining are the ones who don't know the Word of God, as that story indicates. Ain't that always the case!

--Jews NOT offended by Pastor Hagee's comments...--

The issue is settled then. I'm happy.

==Im sure that we all believe that jesus will some day come back and save us all...==

Not scriptural.

Only few will find the gate. Most will not.

Do you think Jesus would endorse any of things these lunotic hate preachers say? I think not! They have more in common with Satan then Jesus for sure. Jesus was a liberal. McCain was crazy to let the lunitic hate preachers endorse him. He must have had a fit of demensia.

The progressives are trying to bail the water out of Obama's swiftboat. It's sinking fast.

"Two-cats":

I discussed that I was disappointed in
McCain's connection to this pastor. I am also disgusted by Obama's pandering to his religious constituency. You fail to comment on Obama's "cynicism." Both candidates are forced by some of their supporters to pay homage to the religious factions of their constituency. It is my fondest wish that our leaders would reject such contact, and return to the quiet and reasoned deism of the age of enlightenment at most. Fat chance, I know.

I just feel McCain is quicker to recognize and denounce "crazy" and stupid comments, which they are, whether coming from Wright, Hagee, Moss, Farrakhan, Robertson, Falwell, etc.

Moss is just as nuts as Wright, yet Obama praises him. Obama knew, for years, that his pastor was a nut, but ignored his nutty ways. Also, Ayers was more of a friend than Obama is letting on. Ayers is a die-hard communist/marxist who flies to Venezuela to praise "the revolution" under Chavez and has childish Che stickers on his office door. (I am an unapologetic anti-communist, as well as an atheist). Just makes me worry about the cabinet and other appointments under Obama is all.

Just my subjective opinion...I respect yours, as well. If you don't like McCain, that's totally fine. Choosing a president to me is always about choosing the lesser of two evils, and never about having complete satisfaction. I am sure you have a principled position to dislike McCain. Let me have mine to give the edge to him.

I may not be the smartest christ follower in the world, but we need to stop fighting and letting pride get the best of all races..(read all of 2nd timothy and it should say some were about teaching people with gentleness not hatred.)we dont realize that religious leaders and followers are fighing over what is right or wrong and we dont realize that satan is sneaking right under our paths and the next thing you know..BAMMMM!!!!!he got us.Im sure that we all believe that jesus will some day come back and save us all so lets help one another, love and respect one another till then and he will decide what is right or wrong...for my non believers please give you life to God, his love is so amazing, I want you to feel his love just the way I have felt it over the years..Dont feel that you messed up and no one or even god wont foegive you, He will just repent your sins with a humble and broken heart and he will forgive you...please you dont nkow how it feel to have someone love you that much..i want everyone to feel my joy...god is love....luke1:37...dont give up hope.....

Don't believe this was Senator McCain's "mentor" or minister. He did the right thing. The liberal's are becoming more and more sickening. NOBAMA for me.

Mr. Incredible: You response to my post is almost too incoherent, for me to make a coherent response but I will attempt one.

"Soooo Jesus was a liar???" I don't know. What do you think Jesus said? I read that he said: "By their fruits you shall know them." and something about how we could spot the true Christians because they loved one another. Frankly, analyzing the fruits of Christianity in history shows a mixed basket and it seems to me that you have to go a long way to find much love among them. Your response to --- SECOND: America was not founded by Christians. It was founded by a mix of people who had a multiplicity of beliefs. --- was "Not true." Well, if you believe that is not true, i think you need to stop getting your American History in church and read a book, because it is true.

To --- This is a country made of Citizens not Christians, and Christians who don't know that disgrace our constitution. --- you wrote: "Those who first settled this place were Christians bent on advancing Christianity..." Well, again, you missed the point. Assuming you were referring to the Puritans, who were a group of fringe religious fruit-cakes that the Europeans, even the extremely tolerant Dutch, were glad to be rid of, founded a colony not a country. In the strange history of that colony, they did some VERY weird things, like torturing & burning women as witches --- hardly role models of Christian kindness. But at the end of the day, their descendants formed one of 13 colonies. If you read the works of the Americans who signed the "Declaration of Independence" and debated and wrote the Constitution, many of them were not by any stretch of the imagination, what Christians would call "Christians." Again, go to the public library (not the church library) get a few books and read them. Then tell me I'm wrong.

To my rather inelegant statement --- You are not allowing me freedom of religion to not be a Christian. --- You response, "Nobody's stopping you." made my want to repeat a phrase that was common many years ago, when I was in school: "Thanks, that's mighty white of you." The idea that Fundamentalist Christians teach lies about the history of diversity in American and believe that they have special rights in their "Christian Country," has been very destructive to the common good of all Americans. This is essentially a political discussion not a philosophical or historical one. I assert that the effect of Fundamentalist Christianity on American politics has, on the whole, been a destructive one. Christianity is not a political party.

I also believe that their preoccupation with intrusive morality has made fools out of working people in America; it has focused their attention on non-issues (like banning abortion & slowing gay rights) which has led to their support of a government that has cost them their jobs and diminished their children's futures. Worst of all. people have stopped listening to each other; our political dialogue has become the replay of ideological tapes; where everybody has all the answers which they can implement only by crushing the other side. Guess what, NOBODY HAS ALL THE ANSWERS. We must work together if we are going to make things work.
Anyway, that's enough, I have work to do...jt

WHY IS THIS POST BEING DELETED? BY WHAT STANDARD DOES IT GIVE OFFENSE & TO WHOM?

I couldn't believe he chose to stick with this pastor when he called the Catholic Church a great *****.

Any Protestant church should be able to accept the history of the church through the Catholicism. It might not be a history they can embrace but to call the Catholic Church a whore? It is so ugly to be unconscionable.

The other thing that hurts me as a Christian is why is it so necessary to be better than the next sinner? If you believe in Christ, your own sins are equal in front of God as your neighbors. It is forgiveness that makes you worthy of God's forgiveness. To run around calling other people ****** is forgetting what we are all supposed to care about God's judgement NOT EACH OTHERS.

I knew it was a bad idea for the media to be trolling around churches looking for stuff they think is objectionable. Wright was a religious figure for Obama whom he had to reject and denounce in a political sphere. The media standing in for the public made it impossible for Obama to stand up. Wright through his defiance and impolitic presence at the National Press Club hastened Obama's departure.

Now, we are in another set of churches Hagee and Parsons. They have said things that also offend wide swaths of the public through biblical exegeses. At what point, does the media want to take scholastic biblical inpretative courses so they can understand what messages these pastors are using to support their arguments?

The media needs to stay out of the church house. I have not particularly liked the gap in coverage when it comes to using the Koran to assert points that the American public does not care for either. Those texts, the Torah, the Bible, and the Koran, should be used in religious contexts by scholars who understand them. Misquoting or misattributions will be the king of the media day otherwise.

"It's very hard trying to do the Lord's work in the city of Satan [our nation's capital] (laughter) and I'm very grateful to have all of you here." -- John McCain, while attending a Christians United for Israel (CUFI) meeting, July 17 2007

I may not have wanted McCain to be the nominee, but it is what it is, and it's more important, now, to make sure a Democrat doesn't take the White House. I'll vote for the lesser of two evils.

Think I'm gonna check out Bob Barr or see what Ron Paul is going to do in the general election. I just can't trust McCain.

Fine. Then you don't care that you will enable and empower a Democrat to take office.

So now you decide to throw Hagee under the bus after soliciting his endorsement. Flip Flop McCain. Can't makeup your mind what you want to do, can ya? Think I'm gonna check out Bob Barr or see what Ron Paul is going to do in the general election. I just can't trust McCain.

"United We Stand; Devided We Fall" Obama is Uniting people and Hillary and using every trick in the book to Devide us! Its not a hard choice to vote for the right person here, Obama For President!

well its about time the media dug into this- all the hand ringing and nay saying about Wright, and here's Hagee saying the holocaust was gods will. I think its time this country really took the notion "separation between church and state" seriously.

Well if anyone knows "crazy", it's McCain. He's nuttier than a fruit cake.

Don't vote for him, then.

TANGLED UP IN GOD

OOPS! My bad. That should be 50 States.

THAT purdy much sums it all up! Thanks, 40 States!

^^The enlightened forms of all religions (post enlightenment Christianity; Talmudic Judaism; Sufi Islam; Taoism; most of Buddhism; much of Hinduism; teach that there are many paths to honor, respect and show gratitude for the gift of life.^^

Soooo, Jesus was a liar????

Not true.

^^This is a country made of Citizens not Christians, and Christians who don't know that disgrace our constitution.^^

Those who first settled this place were Christians bent on advancing Christianity which is a relationship, not religion. Islam is an example of religion, and so is atheism.

^^You are not allowing me freedom of religion to not be a Christian.^^

Nobody is stopping you.

obamabreaker: There are so many misconceptions in your comment that it's hard to know where to start, so I'll just dive in: FIRST: Not every 'religion believes they are right and the other is wrong.' Only the primitive, ignorant and backward forms of some religions believe that. The enlightened forms of all religions (post enlightenment Christianity; Talmudic Judaism; Sufi Islam; Taoism; most of Buddhism; much of Hinduism; teach that there are many paths to honor, respect and show gratitude for the gift of life. If you want to get serious, I wrote over 25 years ago: "God is a reason to love; religion an excuse to hate. Religion is the god of bigots." I'll stand by that, today. SECOND: America was not founded by Christians. It was founded by a mix of people who had a multiplicity of beliefs. The most important thinkers among our founding fathers are arguably Thomas Jefferson, James Madison & Benjamin Franklin. It is a great stretch of the Fundamentalist's twisted reading of history to call them anything but "Deists" and if you can't distinguish between a Deist is a Christian, you probably can't tell a Bluegill from a Bass well enough to keep a fishing license. This is a country made of Citizens not Christians, and Christians who don't know that disgrace our constitution. You are not allowing me freedom of religion to not be a Christian. But I know some Christians and it is clear that the religion is more difficult when you try practicing it yourself rather than imposing in upon other people. There's more... but I don't have to defend Senator Obama from absurd charges by people who repeat nonsense and choose to believe malicious lies.

WHY HAS THIS COMMENT BEEN REMOVED TWICE?

arure: "If you don't believe he was sucking up to the Jews, you must be from another plant." How about Mc
Cain was "sucking up" to the brain-dead, fringe Christians, until confronted with comments that were so stupid an so outrageous that they turned his stomach and, as badly as he wants to be president, he couldn't keep from rejecting the comments and the creeps who made the comments. That's probably just a small and mostly naive hope that John McCain has not completely sold his soul for ambition.

"The media seems to portray that McCain is just backing off because of the Jewish vote. Isn't it possible that he just really is offended by such outrageous and insane remarks?
---------------------------------
yeah right, like for the one yr the where chasing his endorsement non of his staffers took time to study what the guy was about. If you dont believe he is sucking up to the Jews then you must be from another planet

Larry: Your comment about the disintegration of John McCain's character is one of the best observations I've read on these ABC blogs. If the Republican Party had had the horse-sense to nominate the John McCain of 2000, I would have proudly voted for him. He was a true independent --- a person of clear character, courage & integrity. Obviously, he learned the painful lesson and compromised every bit of his independence to gain the acceptance of fools, which is required to win primaries in the GOP. Anyone, who believes John McCain is stupid enough to honestly believe that "Creation Science" is anything but bad theology, can vote for the joke that's left of John McCain... not me.

McCain has just lost my and half of the Texas' votes.

Then, you people will empower and enable a Democrat to be president. You prefer THAT. Beautiful.

looks like another flip-flop by senior citizen McCain. He loved Minister Hagee and praised him for weeks and weeks. This week, he hates him.
Posted by: Mike in Chicago | May 22, 2008 9:16:45 PM
--------------------------------------

Where and when did McCain say that he now "hates" him???

Hagee makes Jeremiah Wright look like a perfectly reasonable, if misguided, fellow. The fact is you don't have to strip-mine 20 years of these guys sermons to find fin 20 minutes of lunacy. These guys put it in their books and it is regular fodder for their sermons. And, in case nobody noticed, Jews, in large numbers, began settling in Palestine before the FIRST World War. Hagee doesn't even know the history of Zionism. He does know how to hustle suckers with his absolute confidence in preposterous nonsense. The fact is, these folks play to audiences of desperate people who actually pay to believe this ignorant, malicious tripe. All of that would be none of my business, if these cheap con-men were not also telling their sheep how to vote. Remember, these fundamentalist Christian cults constitute "the base" of the Republican Party. With teachers like Hagee, is it any wonder that they (69% of registered Republicans) still think George Bush is a good president? I guess everybody's got to get their information somewhere.

So just because Hagee prises america his hate is okay?Give me a break!!
Posted by: Laron | May 22, 2008 9:42:21 PM
----------------------------------------

What hate??

Hagee's comments were Scriptural and Bible founded. If you Do Not know what Christianity is about, what the Bible says in a Literal, Scriptural and HISTORICAL sense you should NOT Comment. The Bible cannot be taken as 'Sound Bites' and MUST be looked at as a WHOLE from many angles and Interpreted with Divine Guidance after thoughtful reading. Hagee has the Historical and Biblical Understanding to do this. READ and try to Understand the Bible before you make comments and Judgments.
Posted by: Theron Helton | May 22, 2008 10:33:06 PM
----------------------------------------
AMEN!!! And again AMEN!!!

Hagee wasn't happy about it...but it was part of God's plan. I don't believe God "did it" but he obviously let it run its course and it ultimately did fulfill what He said it would.

People are so ignorant today, that they disagree with things before they even stop to think about them.
Posted by: Jason | May 22, 2008 5:48:45 PM
-----------------------------------
This is true.

Hagee's view is correct, and those who understand what he said will agree that God needed to get His People back to Israel, and He allowed things to happen that made it happen.

John Hagee for President

Republicans have been hustling votes & contributions from the lowest levels of bigoted-ignorant fringe Christian creeps, like Pastor Parsley, since Richard Viguerie put together the winning combination of religious fanatics & supply side free-marketers, which has had working people voting against their economic interests for almost 30 years. It's about time someone listened to what these lunatics are actually saying in the name of Christianity and in the name of America. Republicans made a big mistake opening up this can of worms by attacking the Rev. Wright, now it's time for them to face their vulnerabilities. The ugly, ignorant treachery that spews from the pulpits of these right-wing scum, who have turned fundamentalist Christianity into a political party, should haunt the GOP for decades. Now it's time to 'Dance with them that brung you,' Senator McCain. Good Luck at keeping their votes while you acknowledge the all-too-obvious fact that what they say is nuts.

This goes a long way to show why the society will frown at anything a black man says and condone anything said by a white man. How can anyone come out and start defending Mccain on this issue. Some people are even going far as saying Mccain did not attend the church for twenty years. The truth is that they dug into Obama's past and apart from Rezko, they couldn't find anything and off they went trying to find anything that could be linked to Obama even if it meant guilty by association. Then came Pastor Wright, Ayers and co. The whole media descended on Obama. Everyday, snippets of the sermon was relayed. Infact fox and a.b.c did not want to let go and then came the critics. They hammered Obama everyday. I tell you if they hammer Mccain on this the way they hammered on Obama, he would had been placed on bed rest by now but I still think we should let the issue go. Religion and Politics should never have been mixed. Mccain was only trying to pander to the jewish and Irish by seeking Hagen and Parshley's endorsements and even said he was glad to have finally gotten it and just when a snippet of Hagen's sermon was relayed, he is now only realising how bad his comments were as if he has never heard of the comments. Who is he trying to fool? But know Obama will never use that on him eventhough the Republicans will still use Wright on Obama.

For 391 (source from CNN) days McCain sought out Pastor Hagee's endorsement. Why? Because he wants those votes from the Christians. He chased him (Hagee) just like he chased Cindy when he was married to another woman. But I won't hold it against him any more then I hold Rev. Wright against Sen. Obama. It's just politics ya'll.

Hagee and Wright Our history tell me these men are not (all) wrong. But lets say their wrong? besides Hagee wil be under the rug in less then a week. right abc, fox, cnn,

Why isn't McCain coming out and saying somthing about Pastor Parsley's views as he did with Pastor Hagee? The men of faith are spreading hate. The religion does not teach hate. These men do.

Hagee's comments were Scriptural and Bible founded. If you Do Not know what Christianity is about, what the Bible says in a Literal, Scriptural and HISTORICAL sense you should NOT Comment. The Bible cannot be taken as 'Sound Bites' and MUST be looked at as a WHOLE from many angles and Interpreted with Divine Guidance after thoughtful reading. Hagee has the Historical and Biblical Understanding to do this. READ and try to Understand the Bible before you make comments and Judgments.

I agree Alice, that is where Obama and Clinton differ, well at least Bill Clinton, but hey, her pundits call her Bill-ary so you have to give her credit for the good too.

Clinton is a conservative when it comes to the economy and social programs, it actually spells it out in wiki-pedia

Did my post on Cindy get removed too? I didn't think I said anything bad...crazy..
Big Bro is watching..

Hmmm...wonder if I mention Larry Sinclair if they will remove this...lol

To all of you out there. Do you know that a trillion is 1000 billions. The USA owes about $40 billions to different countries. A professor said is like buying a mansion for $5 million with an income of $400 monthly. The IRS reports a collection of $400 billions annually. All that stuff that your politicians are offering is unlikely. Mrs. Clinton is the more difined bandidate hers are more credible since the Clinton's legacy are a surplus, balanced budget and the economy in general. Democrats be very careful out there. I read on http:noratings.blogspot.com/ the following.
"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities." Voltaire. Be very careful with the media. Let's no be like Africa, Odinga who didn't get his way went about and killed thousands and thousands of people.

Raleigh Voter you can't go by maps. All that can change and will change. But NP bro, we are all entitled to our opinions! I thought may be we can all find some common ground on Cindy, guess not. ABC removed my cindy posts. That was offensive? Compared to some of the other stuff being posted here and still up? Oh well. I still say Cindy is HOT for her age. And Obama will beat McBush.

2008 - The year politicians lost their backbone. We are doomed to have a President of the United States with no foundation of values upon which to stand. McCain should know that this is just a mindless counterattack by the Obami's to try and cover up Rev. Wrights racism and hate mongering sermons.

BTW ...what church do McBush attend anyway?

So just because Hagee prises america his hate is okay?Give me a break!!

Flip-flopping hypocrite :~(

Good for him! I saw clips of McCain on Ellen and saw a compassionate and understanding man.

No doubt that he will kick Obama's butt

Oh, by golly, looks like another flip-flop by senior citizen McCain. He loved Minister Hagee and praised him for weeks and weeks. This week, he hates him. What will McCain flip-flop on next? Stay tuned...

NBC didn't even mention the connection to Holocaust in its brief reference to the renunciation and ABC evening news didn't even carry it. This endorsement was sought by McCain for over a year. So much for the "liberal media" who tried to bury Obama for weeks but skate past Mccain's problems with a quick wink. These are the same major media who buried the facts about Iraq until obvious to all. No wonder we are where we are with reporting like this. So much for "professional" journalism.

Remember when McCain was a real man? A Maverick! A thorn to conservatives! Not afraid to speak his mind! Hung out with Kennedy and Obama! Was a friend of Independents and Liberals! Seems like a long time ago. Now his just a McBush. A person he would have hated even 8 years ago. A person who resembles a shadow of a man we use to know and admire. Now he is no different then George W Bush. Can you say loser?

I miss Rev Wright. Remember the good ole days when you could turn the tv on on listen to Wright ranting and raving. Now he has been reduced to a shell of a man and the people in the church are cowarding in the corner. Heck, even Michelle Obama was good for a laugh or two and now they have her hiding in the closet. Remember how they use to call her "the closer". Of course that was before she ruined any chance of him being elected president. Oh the good ole days!

Is this the pastor of the church that McCain has been sitting and listening to for the past 20 years? I rest my case!

Nat Turner your right, McCain has a bigger problem with support then many think! For the first time McCain will not be able to count on the Independents support! Ouch! Lieberman can not save him. Lieberman is about as Independent as the Pope is Jewish. His only hope was snuggling up to the whacko right extremist he just dist! I predict a landslide democratic victory! Cheer up John, you can still get together with Hillary and talk about how you almost won.

What's wrong John? I guess your evengelical nut case friends are starting to bring you bad publicity. You should have known better. Now renounce that rapture loving nutcase Rev Parsley. That is unless your waiting for the rapure too.

I say the media ought to loop those comments like they did of Rev Wright. Hmm..does that mean McCain cannot control what someone else says...hmm interesting..and yet people criticize Barack for what someone else says. Half the time I am thinking of something else during the sermon. Enough of the petty stuff, who's supporter says what, who wears flag pins (notice John McCain often doesnt, nor does Hillary). Lets get to the substance..this is not highschool prom we are deciding upon, it is the next president. Lets have them talk about the economy, the war, rebuilding the infrastructure, education, the environment, health care, the mortgage crisis, international trade, innovations in science and engineering, balancing the budget, reducing the deficit, shoring up social security (which we could have done much with the billions wasted in Iraq). Stop acting like school kids, oh he said/she said..or he is too elite, (interesting..how many meals has Bill and Hillary missed, or what universities did they attend?, or how often do they visit the real people from their million dollar house in the suburbs in New York. Do they go to get their own gas, food, like real people..Lets face it, none of these people can really do what we do for security reasons. I mean how often have people been standing behind Bill and Hillary or John and his wife at the supermarket? Lets get to the issues at hand, not name calling.

CATHOLICS MCCAIN DID NOT CARE THIS MUCH ABOUT YOU.

CATHOLICS HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT MCCAIN NOT CARING WHAT HAGEE SAID ABOUT YOU, ENOUGH SO THAT HE WOULD DENOUNCE AND REJECT HIM?

a vote for mccain is a vote for "bush-term-3". This country cannot afford another bush term. For the people who say they will vote mccain if Obama gets the nod, please think it over. Hillary and Obama are inches apart in their policies, Obama and mccain are light-years apart. Obama 2008!!!

I hope McCain picks Mit Romney!

McCain/Romney 2008!

Where are the working blacks? There are working whites who vote for Clinton so they are racist. Are blacks who vote for Obama racist too? What an election?

forget about the pastors for a minute. Why won't mc-more-war's wife release her tax records. What is she hiding anyway. Mrs. Kerry released her records. What is cindy mc-more-war hiding anyway???

Negative attacks starting from the Obama campaign against McCain...

Don't attack the church Obama!

Regardless as to who may be right and who may be wrong.......it's politics as usual on both sides....

Wade, McCain knew well what this crackpot was all about and he sought out this endorsement anyway. It took him months also to reject Hagee's outlandish positions. In my view, McCain was quite cynical to go after Hagee's endorsement. He did it to please the religious right and to get them not to rebel at his nomination. I would say that his repudiation of Hagee didn't take a lot of bravery. Hagee had already served his purpose.
