Not to mention the fact that Rev. Rick Warren is a friend of both Obama and McCain. <BR/><BR/>Obama is a skilled attorney, law professor and commincator and McCain has had a lot of experience in dealing with Protestant Evangelicals. <BR/><BR/>Come on! The questions that Rev. Warren asked were not even difficult. They are not questions that either candidate has not considered (or answered) before. <BR/><BR/>While I have a great deal of respect for you and your views (and I happened to agree with much of what you write), I do not think McCain needed to gain an edge anymore than a Math Professor would need to know the equations on a basic algebra exam before taking it. Niether would Obama! <BR/><BR/>All the best to you, <BR/><BR/>AdamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-29904637302280161252008-08-19T22:28:00.000-04:002008-08-19T22:28:00.000-04:00…Richard J.

Regardless of the outcome in November, this is one politician who has earned my respect. If we elect McCain then we get what we deserve from politicans.

People are not as stupid and mindless as the Republican party would like to think. What I witnessed was nothing more than the same cheating tactics that got Bush in the White House just a different method. <BR/><BR/>The American people are suffering behind and feeling the backlash from being taken in by those same old dirty Rove tactics used to win at all cost. Sometimes winning at all cost is not a good thing.<BR/><BR/>Let me remind everyone what John McCain himself said out his own mouth, "I play to win. I do whatever it takes to win. If I have to fuck my opponent to win I'll do it. If I have to destroy my opponent I won't give it a second thought." Those are John McCain's words not mine, because Granny don't cuss. Nonetheless, this is a good example of what type of person John McCain really is.<BR/><BR/>He hides behind his veteran status and uses it for a shield, but his veteran status does not give him the right to think that he can lie, cheat,do whatever he wants to do, and somehow it makes him untouchable or gives him immunity from being called on his dishonesty, or criticized.<BR/><BR/>In fact, he's a disgrace to veterans when he uses his veteran status as a shield to cover his dishonesty and dirty tactics. Being a veteran is an honorable service, but when one uses their veteran status as a scapegoat to cover deception, do things that are dishonorable, and cheat they disgrace that veteran status and should be stripped of it.<BR/><BR/>When Rick Sanchez interviewed Pastor Rick Warren, that pastor contradicted his own self statements and changed them several times. First, he said he talked to McCain, then he turned around and said he didn't get to talk to him. He couldn't even get his story straight. <BR/><BR/>People cried out for a change in the White House. They said they were tired of the dishonesty that has plague it for the last 8 years. All McCain has done in this election is personal attacks Obama, not the issues. Whereas, Obama has been attacking the difference in issues and not personal attacks towards McCain. Don't people see that McCain is using the same dirty tactics that Bush used to get elected into the White House. Americans are fickle and unstable. But this time around it's either or. We cannot afford another backlash as a result of dirty politics.GrannyStandingforTruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393482390585845081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-73528277026832589022008-08-19T01:16:00.000-04:002008-08-19T01:16:00.000-04:00Haha, "before he goes off to his final resting pla...Haha, "before he goes off to his final resting place in the desert".
