cmon now.. lol his answer to this is no "different" than any other politicians on issues like this. its a touchy subject, he danced around it in order to not offend a large group of people, while still getting the point across about where he stands on it. take it or leave it.

He is so trying to run around and put two faces on himself.

thig guy gets worse and worse every day.

quick john say the word "surge" and "troops"

oy this guy...have you ever seen a candidate in 2 years become a completely and totally different human being...

this is not a slight move to the center...

this is a guy who is unartfully tring to go against everything he has ever said he believed in.

did he support gay adoption previously?

Why is McCain muddying his message? What is his message? Why did McCain announce his latest attack ad on a Friday (a time slot where news is buried)?

Personally, I think the McCain camp needs a bit of discipline. They can't seem to stay on message. A single-minded focus on winning each point has led the McCain camp to lose track of the big picture.

It is probably too late to shake up the campaign, but they need to make some serious adjustments and bring some professionals on board. The new Rove protege seems too amateurish for the task.

i wish DL wouldnt just jump from room to room bashing mccain and then leaving... did mccain previously support gay adoption?

(Tim) I am Christian, and I am Gay. I fought being Gay all my life, and ended in a drug/alcohol pit. Then I accepted myself as the Gay man God created me to be...and since then, my life have been blessed with constant miracles. How can you be so discriminating and hateful of a group of people born different from you. God had reasons for creating Gays...perhaps to stem overpopulation, or to find loving parents for children heterosexuals abandoned...TRUST IN GOD'S PLAN. Jesus would not be so condescending and judgemental.

Yeah, Obama may be more compassionate to Gay people. He probably also, experienced discrimination in his life, and knows what it's like to be judged by people who don't even know you. Who would Jesus stand beside?

My wife and I have been married for 46 years, and we have NO worries about what other couples (hetero or gay) do with their private lives. The key word here is PRIVATE, because the government has more important things to worry about than gay marriage or whatever.

I would very much like to see the government get OUT of Americans' bedrooms and get to work on things like the economy and extricating us from the Middle East.

Thank you Steve- well said. Many of our fine citizens take Gods name in vain on a daily basis. They go to churc hand forget the good words once they r out the door. They lie,steal, make false claims against their neighbors etc...In short they violate the 10 Commandments on a daily basis. No where in those 10 commandments from GOD does it say anything about gays, yet our bible thumping friends always try to use phrases to bash gay people. I believe in the 10 commandments - I know they r from God. People all over the world use God's name in vain when they maim and kill others in the name of religion. How many wars have been fought because of differing religious beliefs ? Do the Muslims really believe that if they kill us then Allah will welcome them to the land of milk and honey ? We have people like Barbara Walters BRAGGING about her affair with a married black politician. Actually bragging about committing adultery !!! - in violation of the Commandment "Thou shalt not commit adultery." Yet she is so proud of herself !!! Republicans constantly put anti-gay measures on the ballot yet they ignore the real issues of war, poverty, violence, etc etc. How many Republican politicans have been caught having gay sex but have loudly condemned gays ? We even have preachers advocating the MURDERS of Presidents of other countries, like Chavez. What happened to "thou shalt not kill " Preacher man ???????????
In short there is so much evil in this world yet people continue to try to bash gays for just being different. Many gay people serve in the Military, are good parents and are compassionate and non violent. But the bigots out there cannot see that. God will not come this time in peace- he will come back in anger due to the EVIL in this world. We r in for huge disasters of biblical proportions and people had better start to change their ways. 2 people who love each other do not constitute any threat to this world. Wake up America before it is too late.

Rodney K, it's obvious you're doing your best to emulate Christian philosophy in the way you live your life. Unfortunately, you're failing miserably. The last thing Christianity is is a philosophy of hate, but it seems that's how you and many other false Christians choose to see it.

Smile - it's free.

RHYS very well worded and I agree with you. 100%...

steve...

well said, and i agree on some of it and disagree with some of it. im a christian, meaning i believe there is a god, but dont necessarily believe in organized religion. i definately do not base my political views(conservative) on a religion basis. therefore, its really a non issue to me. same as abortion. i believe there's a god and he will ultimately have the last word on it. but its more complicated than that. the idealist side of me says "everyone should be able to do what they want, marry who they want, have kids with whom they want". ok. it all sounds good. but i also know how society works. i have met ALOT of freaks in this world. both gay and straight. i look at it from more of a social aspect than a religious one. i just picture a kid going to school with his two "flaming" dads.. lol and i dont mean that in a mean way, just being real. now i realize that not ALL gays are flamboyent to that degree. but alot are, and it bothers me to think about the social backlash from all of it. and thats just one example. but i guess if i had to vote on it tommorrow, i would probably vote for it. so you cant blame a politician to tip toe around it. its a very complicated issue. to vote for it, you are basically turning your back on what christianity has been saying is "wrong" for A LONG TIME.

I am a democrat, however I was leaning toward John McCain. I watch the Sunday morning interview, I was very disappointed in his answer to gay adoptions.His accuse was Family Value. I come from a family of 15 children.My Mother and Father taught us all to respect people for who they are and not to be judge mental. Those are "True Family Values". The last thing we need is another divider in the White House.
I will now give all my support to "Change".I will do my best to get Mr.Obama elected our next President of The United States.

ty stover...

if you are making your decision on this topic alone, you are making a huge mistake. there are ALOT bigger issues that we need to deal with thatn gay rights.

Tim,
Yes there is a lot of issues, however I feel this says alot about John McCain. We neeed a Leader not another George Bush.........

ty...

what does that even mean?! why would you compare this issue to george bush? just because they are republicans?! makes no sense. what makes you think obama will be a "leader"?

He shows he can be a leader for all Americans. A President that will bring this country together.Long over due.....

McCain is an idiot if he is going to go down the Bush line against gays. Economy, education, US borders, Iraq, wars, oil, energy, crime; these are issues that he should be involved in, not about who I adopt and if I should be allowed to. He makes me sick.

Thank you Ty, the problem with a lot of Americans is the Pious than thou principle. Mccain is for moral values but he has negated so many commandments of God. Mccain committed adultery, Mccain voted for an unjust war and mccain has completely battered the notion of loving others as you love yourself.

Thank you Ty, the problem with a lot of Americans is this Pious than thou attitude. They choose which Commandment is right and try to condemn others with the remaining. Look at mccain, he committed adultery,he voted for an unjust war which has cost 4000 American lives and he has completely negated the love your neighbour as you love yourself commandment. Yet he is blabbing about moral values.

Thot the other message did not post. had to re-write.
