Is a Liberal Christian Group’s TV Ad Suggesting McCain is an Adulterer?

Want to know why liberals despise christians?
Read Ecclesiastes 10:2.
"A wise man's heart directs him toward the right, but the foolish man's heart directs him toward the left."

John McCain's first wife was indeed crippled, but to be fair so was John McCain. He still is. I don't begrudge anyone for holding his infidelity against him, but if you can't see the complexity of the problems that those two were facing I think you're a little to judgmental. His infidelity was a moral failing. It adds to the complexity of his character. I think that George Bush and Bill Clinton getting out of serving in Viet Nam was a greater moral failing when I consider the job of the President.

Incidentally, McCain and John Kennedy have very similar personal stories. War Service, infidelity, family history. They are interesting to compare.

McCain cheated on his wife and therefore he should not be trusted.

Um, yes. Yes they are Jake. He IS an adulterer. Why don't you ask him about it?

Your corp. media friends don't seem to mind focusing on John Edwards' sex life but considering McCain left his CRIPPLED first wife (who waited for him for 5 yrs. while he was a POW) for Cindy (which was while he was still in the military), it's also illegal. No?

It's about time the issue of McCain's adultry got raised in national mainstream media reporting.

Now if only the Keating 5 scandal will become a talking point on the 24/7 cable channels.

Reading over all this commentary...

I find it difficult admiring or looking up to more than half the Christian voices being raised here.

Of course, that just may be me.
Just my honest opinion.

I'd rather deal with a moral secularist than a dogmatic religionist-- any day.

Again, that may be just me.

First impression of this ad was that Obama is a family man. He will stand by yours. A very simple ad really.

People will read what they want into many of the ads coming out on both sides right now.

McCain's ads are easier to read. I guess after 8 years we get the Rove/Schmidt picture and message by now.

McCain has stayed with his second wife for a long time. There is something to be said for that. But he did dump his first wife and based on his behavior with his current wife, he doesn't seem to know how to treat women with respect.

I think Obama is a much better role model for men on how to treat their wives.

The Mathew 25 Network supports an abortion agenda. By that standard they don't really qualify as a Christian Group. They are on the right side of the adultery issue, but it seems that McCain's first wife agreed to and participated in an amiable divorce. If she had any issues with McCain's fidelity it would have been in the National Enquirer.

Jiggs, not all republicans are dumb as a rock. Some of them are millionaires.

Ok, cheating on your wife while she is at the hospital fighting for her life is not an adulter, really? Pastor Rick Warren said he cannot trust someone who cheated on his wife and, therefore, could not vote for him when he was talking about John Edwards. Let's see what he said about McCain tomorrow.

Republicans are usually dumb enough to take your breath away, but you have to give them credit for one thing---they face harmful facts with matchless composure. No matter how convincing the evidence nor how compelling the argument against them, their emotional and intellectual equanimity stays unshaken as they look the other way, shifting blame and quoting the Bible.
Not that it will save him, but McCain must be grateful for such robotic support.

pickler,

Could you please answer these questions i posted below

Another point i didn't include in my last post. How can someone that claimed to represent family values offered his wife as a striper?

How do you explain that to someone that follows strict constructionist of the bible? How do you explain it to your congregation on Sunday?

McCain does not represent what we want in a President.

I don't see the problem. McCain insinuated Obama is the Anti-Christ in his Moses ad and according to him, his campaign and republicans, that was just a plain funny ad that was meant as a joke! Which ad is worse? I think McCain wins the bad taste category hands down! Obama '08!!

I expect McCain to do the honorable thing and get out of the race, retiring to one of his ten homes with his only reward, from a grateful nation, free budweiser.

McCain committ the sin of adultery by cheating on his first wife. He has not apologized for it.

McCain is a poster child of what is wrong with family value

I hate to tell you this but all things that we know as right and wrong comes from Religion. Call it MORALITY if you want. But its still Religion that runs things. YOU

It was Obama and this fake religion that is trying to turn Obama into a better christian by his Marriage. They have no idea what GOD has in store for them using his name in VAIN.

Whenever Republican Party is defensive of their marriage affairs, you know there is a problem. McCain is a phony Christian; he doesn't believe in family value let alone stick by his first wife.

At least Democratic Party doesn't impose morality test on us like Republican do. McCain has failed the test and he is not fit for command…
