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

I can only say, I have been brought up on good principles and values, credit most goes to my Mother. I have been very successful in life, and I would not change one thing. i have always liked other people for who they are...

lets just say we "give in" to gay rights. where does it end? i'd love to hear your explanations.

Tim, You should read and more about Homosexuality and rights for all American people.....He should walk in the shoes of a gay person.

em, mccain did not "CLARIFY" anything here, is he for GAY ADOPTION or is he NOT for it?

YES or NO

mr.FLIP-FLOPPER

I do not understand how any human can claim to know the will of god. If he did not want gay people, there would be no gay people. Those of yoou who feel you have the right to discriminate against other taxpayers need to answer one question; Who do you think you are? This is not the Middle East. Religion is not law in a country where we believe that all are created equal. You do not have to like gays, be prejudiced all you want. But it is not your place to say who deserves what civil rights in the U.S.

Well said Suzie Q

This headline is totally misleading, not to mention biased. McCain certainly did not "clarify" his position on adoption. He dodged as much as he could and still ended up muddled. The only "clarification" can come in our own minds when assessing his response: He wants to placate the religious right without flatly saying he's against gay couples' adopting. In other words, he wants to be ambiguous. That's hardly clarity.

Clear as mud - does anyone know what his position is ?

Poor McCain is getting more fuzzy headed every day - imagine what he'll be like in a couple of years in office

I think what thias is is McCain trying to court 'values voters' when he isn't a values politician. He needs to emphasise the parts of him that are truly conservative to court conservative voters. HE shouldn't be trying to be someone he isn't.

Why do people care if other people are homosexual do they affect your lives, do they take your jobs away, do they bother you in anyway then i say leave them alone if thats what makes one happy so be it as long as it doesnt affect you, why should you care what ones sexual choice is?????

McCain is trying to appeal to his base, but I suspect he is privately tormented by having to do so. He wants to get elected, so he is walking a fine line. Hey, Obama does the same thing on lots of other issues. It's called politics.

Steve,
God loves everyone! Even old codgers like me. Thank you for your heartfelt post.

This is about the only good position that McCain't has taken.

The well being of Children should not compromised by using them to further the devilish agenda of those who are suffering from the birth/behavioral defect and gender confusion, which give rise to perverted, unhealthy, abnormal and unnatural behaviors.

As difficult as it is, children are better off growing themselves than living with mental-gender confused perverts!

Better dead than gay!

Patriot (and I use that term very lightly)

You are a sad, pathetic person. All that hate bottled up inside you, bubbling up...What are you so afraid of? Are you having naughty feelings when you look at a member of the same sex? A lot of restless nights perhaps? Remember what you said, "Better dead than gay"...go take care of yourself.

"McCain put rumors of a flip flop to rest."??? LOL. Now I have no idea what he thinks. He can't even stay consistent in the same sentence.

Kudos to McCain for a stand on holy, Biblical behavior and lifestyle. May this be true conviction and not political waffling. Before you condemn this as bigotry, read the Bible. God condemns effeminate behavior and destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for this activity and only by His grace are we here today in a nation that has turned a (anti-procreative) lifestyle (or deathstyle?) choice into a civil right (or wrong?). May John McCain have wisdom and may Condi Rice be his VP!

All of you who have problems with gays or gay issues, guess what? Don't you go looking for someone of the same sex, don't you and a same-sex partner adopt a child or get married.

Live your own life and follow the golden rules. It's not a gay issue, it's a human issue. Shame on McCain for saying he supports "tradtional family values". That sounds so racist, sexist, and on and on. Has he seen how much this world has changed? Traditional family values still exist and if this moron got out more he'd see that what's changed are the families not the values.

Idiot sounds like we should all be living in "Pleasantville". Well guess what? That means that everyone but WHITES, is excluded from his description.

Lastly, what would you religious freaks do if gay people started their own religion. I'm sure you'd support the separation of church and state. You hypocrites.

I know I sleep well at night. Look under your beds and in your closets.....the gays are coming!

"im a christian, meaning i believe there is a god, but dont necessarily believe in organized religion."
Tim, I had to post a comment here. Being a Christian does not mean that you just believe there is a god. It is a very specific religious dogma with Jesus Christ (hence the name CHRISTian) as the center of your beliefs. If you dont believe in organized religion, but believe in some vague concept of God, you may be an agnostic or just a spiritual nomad, but not a Christian.
