More Mixed Messages from McCain?

The division I am reading in these comments is depressing-it looks like the "Divide and Conquer" strategy by the GOP is working. No matter who gets into office there will be no quick or easy way out of this mess but if Obama wins The GOP will do everything it can to undermine his efforts as they've always done to any sitting Democratic President("Power first, Country last").
ACORN was never found guilty anything(except signing up more Democrats-a crime to GOP).

McCain has done real damage to the Republican brand. What sane person is going to attend his rallies where lunatics rant nonsense. McCain actuallly looks scared of his own base. You could tell he was thinking "what a bunch of nut jobs I have on my side."

God please help the the people of the USA. The hatred, the name calling! It's the not the government that is destroying the nation, it's the average citizen whose heart is filled with hatred and disrespect that is tearing the USA apart from the seams. Stop blaming government and kill the hatred in your own dead hearts. Follow peace with all men. God help us all.

I would match Obama and Biden's IQ, temperament, campaign, social awareness, economic plans, approach to policy, experience and knowledge of the constitution against McCain and Sarah Palin any day of the week.

McCain and Sarah Palin are a complete embarrassment, hate-filled, divisive and less than intelligent (to put it mildly). Their plans are to deregulate, privatize healthcare and social security and take the remaining nickels left under the mattresses of every economically-challenged citizen in this country, all the while, declaring war against half the world and profiting from no-bid military contracts.

Palin was picked for gathering votes, nothing more. For God's sake, John McCAin met her only ONCE!

Palin has evolved from an embarassment to he party and state, to an instigator and distractor for her weak ticket.

If you are a Republican and you support this Idiot, maybe you should try to re-elect George W. Bush. Oh but the constitution only lets idiots serve two terms. Sorry.

Doesn't take much to convince you does it. Not a deep thinker are you. Maybe you will be impressed to know that Hamas, Hugo Chavez, the Castro brothers, and Kaddafi also endorse your candidate.Posted by:dropdeadgeorgeous 5:44 PMMark As Violation---------------------------------------Well good. I would love to see trade and travel opened again with Cuba. Maybe its time to quit punishing countries just because they dont live the way we want them to live. Not talking and cutting off coutries that decide to live by their beliefs and cultures is closing the door on the world and has gotten us no where. I know you republicans want to force the world to live by your beliefs and standards but guess what, they wont and I dont blame them. Thats their choice , just like we have ours. We are seen as a bully nation and police nation that thinks everyone should bow to us. Thats not the way real life is nor should we have the right to enforce our beliefs on others. Maybe thats why the world doesnt respect us now. Live and let live. Al Qaeda and the Republicans both want to enforce through fear tactics. They both want everyone to carry a Holy book in one hand and a assault rifle in the other and both think everyone should live by their standards. There is nothing wrong with friends and foes alike endorcing a canidate. World piece is something we strive for , not world US domination.

I want to thank Palin. Because of her and McCains awful pick Obama will have an easier time winning the election. Palin now says the report clears her of any wrong doing and yet as we all know the report did no such thing. Palin is living is a fantasy world and part of that world tells her she is capable of being VP or even President. The only thing she does well besides lying is keeping that crook Karl Rove busy. Executive Privilege This McCain/Palin/Rove.

"Besides, if over 50% of Americans want Obama for President, let them have him. When he brings us to ruin morally and structurally, we will simply be getting what we asked for." - CW

Um, we ARE already at a point where we have been THOROUGHLY thrashed and trashed by ruined morality and structyure. If you can't see it, then you must be blinded by the greed and arrogance, ... which was the catalyst of it all in the first place.

So the DemocRATS know that Pied Piper Obama lied about his relationship with Ayers. And yet they still give him a pass? Why? Are you out of your minds? Obama is an opportunist who has no experience and no qualification but has lots of inclinations towards terrorism and anti-American sentiment. Has he lied also about his Muslim origin? This man is a danger to the security of America.

BRAITH,

you are kindred spirit.

I MEAN TO SAY AGAIN: THE LIVING GOD!!

I have also read through all the comments.

People, my kindred spirit, who know the Lord and have a daily relationship with Him know that "you shall know them by their fruits". It goes for both part: good and evil. Please look up fruits of the Spirit in Galatians 5: verses 22 - 25

"...the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance"

"Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man sow, that shall he also reap" Galatians 6: 7

I can only say that Church and State must stay separated.

But Pastors that err their congregation into false doctrine will have God's wrath upon them.

Jesus told us "not to be afraid" because whatever happen must happen; it is in God's plan.

McCain and Palin seem to attract more nut jobs than the Obama/Biden ticket.

McCain's can't believe, that for once in his life, he can't have things his way. The American people started off in favor of him, and now, after examining his views and listening to him, they've decided they like Obama better. What????It must be a plot! Obama must have operatives subverting the thinking power of everyday Americans!!! It couldn't possibly be because people disagree with him, the wonderful John McCain!
There was a time when I respected John McCain. That has changed, especialy now that he's employing playground bully tactics.Stand up and be responsible, John. If your followers are rabidly angry and want to do Obama harm, it's because of you. You've done everything but call your opponent the Antichrist, and I'm sure that's just a matter of time. What a way to finish your political career.

Having read through all the comments on this article, the only conclusion I have come to is that America is culturally flawed.

Excessive individuality, excessive violence, a widespread inability to meaningfully consider all sides of an issue, and a deep swath of prejudiced christian theocracy seems to have resulted in a social fabric that is deeply intolerant and divided.

I fear for the future here. Not financially, or politically, but socially. America just might not make sense anymore as a country.

Mike, I am a catholic minister and I repudiate every word you wrote.

TexaslibbyI see you're impressed by polls. Doesn't take much to convince you does it. Not a deep thinker are you.

On Conrad, the so-called pastor:

When you are filled with arrogance, and ignorance of those who do not look like you, nor do they think like you, ... it is easy to espouse rhetoric that is of an abomination, and is filled with blasphemy.

I wonder if a jewish Rabbai said something like that, how would people respond. I wonder if a catholic priest said that all who are not catholic, are the devil's demons, how would that be received.

This pastor has spewed out garbage that was spewed out, when they were burning people at the stakes for witchcraft.

Pastor Arnold Conrad invocation is not for a political rally. First of all I am shocked it has now come to this too. John McCain has gone too far!!! Why degrade other beliefs? Why is this allowed??
