How Long Were We Going To Continue Being Kicked Around.
You Have To Draw A Line Somewhere.
Thank God For Bush.

no hillary, no McCain!! Tired of the same old spoiled washington politics.

Hey, in the article posted earlier : McCain meets with Iraqi president, says progress made ....... Why are they kissing each other like that ....YUCK...
OBAMA (2008 -16)

John Keating 5 McCain has led a very sinful life; I hope he received spiritual counsel from the Grahams.

LOL, LMAO, the 1st comment is ridiculous, guess any man that cheats on his 1st wife is the standard for moral clarity ... go figure.

McCain divorced his wife (mother of three kids) for rich girl Cindy.
Now how can you trust this man as your president when he betrayed his wife and Kids? McCain is not an honest man. He was chasing Cindy for long time while he was still married to his wife who was suffering from injury by auto accident. This is a fact. If you care, you can google this and verify in no time. So do you think you can trust a man who betrayed his wife and children for a hot wealthy chick? I can't!

As I understood it McCain got praise, but no endorsement from the Grahams.

I wonder if he flip-flopped on his stance on abortion in order to get the positive remark from Franklin Graham.

He's done a lot of flip-flopping since becoming the presumptive Republican nominee. He's lost his bearings and his Straight Talk Express has started going off its tracks.

"Evangelical movement touts 'Jesus for president'"

Gee, that sound exactly like the Obama movement! How scary!

Was McCain just searching for someone older than he is?

By the way I love how Larry made George Washington sound like Jesus in his post.

"George Washington did it for you!"

Get Hillary on your ticket and you will certainly win in Nov. She is the only person that will get Obama to win. He does not have the knowledge or experience enough to lead our country. He is also to young and has not been around the block long enough to know what is going on. Do you remember when he was giving a speech that he said that we had 57 states, what county is he coming from.
GET HILLARY ON YOUR SIDE. SHE GOT DIRTY COVERAGE FROM NOT ONLY THE PAPERS BUT ALSO FROM CNN., THEY WOULD NEVER TALK ABOUT WHAT SHE WAS DOING BUT ONLY OBAMA AND NOW HE NEEDS HER, SHE NEED TO MOVE ACROSS THE AISLE.

You would think if John McBush wanted favor from my God, or the Christian's he and his family would spend their Sunday mornings in church like most of us do. Please google Veterans against McCain see what a fake he is. OBAMA 08

Connie from Indiana

John McCain is the only one left in this race with moral authority. Barack Obama continues to sell his for the sake of political expediency (a la Chicago politics). The voters are listening! The voters will remember in November!

One more thing, the phrase, "no country for old men" applies here.

Crap, these fanatics should endorse him to win Obama more votes!

Obama '08!

Billy Graham is a great person as well as a great pastor. A shared commitment in faith has always been a central element in his life. I hope John McCain came away from his meeting with the Grahams recognizing a duty to choose right over wrong and justice over selfishness. I hope the tabloids don't link Rev. Graham in a negative light with John McCain. Rev. Graham did not ask to meet John McCain. John McCain ask to meet him. Wonder if Ricky Skaggs is supporting McCain?

Just finished reading from and I am still in shock over the things that I have read. John McCain is not the man to lead the US. There are WAY too many things left unanswered about this man. How any one can blindly call this man a hero just because they heard someone else say so is beyond me. HE IS NOT A HERO IN MY EYES.

Larry wrote June 29th, 2008 4:01 pm ET

"Do you remeber that Sadam Hussein killed his own people, that his sons were raping women on their wedding nights, that if you didn't like Saddam you would be in prison or dead for not for voting him, positive news on Iraq does not sell."

You are right Larry. But the difference is, now it is worse than when there was SH. Iran has taken over Iraq. Do you think the raping and killings have gotten better ? It depends on where you get the news. If you listen to FOX news it is better, but the realty is it is worse.

Still for Hill

Republican, pretending to be a Democrat, pretending to be a Hillary disgruntled supporter.

Sorry Still for Hill, but you have your comment in reverse. John McCain is using all of the mud (remember all of the dirty kitchen sink strategy)that Hillary threw at Barack, in McCain's campaign ads against Barack! She has actually helped McCain, by giving him the ammunition to work with. John McCain, sat back for months, just listening to Hillary bash Barack, and now he is using her ammunition!

For the record, Franklin Graham did meet with Sen. Obama about two weeks back with the rest of the other christian leaders privately to talk about their faith, its role in politics et al.

In any case, Billy Graham has been a registered Democrat, but has also friends across the aisle. So its not a huge concern that McCain has to meet the Grahams: I mean its a historic ritual of sorts- to pay respect.

Besides, would Sen. Obama visit the Grahams once before November in NC before November? I think he would, for sure. All Presidents since Truman has had dealings with the Grahams, it must be noted.

John McCain was my babysitter

Warmongers are not Christians. What the heck ever happened to the separation of church and state, anyway?

McCain is an atheist. He only prayed with the Grahams to try to win the evangelicals.

You Republican Evangelicals better start praying your hearts out that McCon wins. If Obama takes over the White House there will be many GOP thugs going to jail for war crimes. There will be a BIG investigation opened up by the Obama administration and I can name 5 people right off the top of my head that don't stand a chance if that happens. Evangelicals who support thugs and war criminals. Is that what you call forgiving people's sins?

Don't know why this is news.

Sharon Minnesota ..... God bless Billy Graham and his son, Franklin Graham. We are a blessed nation and both of these men of God do not mince words in their sermons. They most certainly would preach to 90% of the Obama supporters about repentence from their hate and bitterness and forgiveness before they end up in a place without mercy or God. Democrats needs to get their morality straightened out before they can run the country.............YOU are not the JUDGE!!!!

There goes McCon once again. Sucking up to the Super Consertative Evangelicals. John McCon has never been a supporter and butt kisser of evangelicals until 2007 when he began to run for President. Now he is pandering hard for their support and will say anything. What happened to the Straight Talk Express? More like the Straight Con Express.

Aware from the very first post,
Senator McCain can be that person. Or, he could be the person who had an affair with his current wife while his then wife was trying to recuperate from a debilitating car accident.
Remember the 10 commandements – thou shalt not commit adultery.

With that in mind, do you still believe McCain to be that person of moral clarity? If you're in line with Jimmy "I have sinned" Swaggart, and the pastor from Denver Coloardo who had an alleged affair with another man last year, and JIm Bakker who hooked up with his secretary, well then, yes. You of course do believe that McCain is of moral clarity. Especially after he joked about having "stopped beating my wife two weeks ago."

Or, you could look at Senator Obama who has a lovely wife and has not been charged with any sort of moral ineptitude. Good luck with your prayers tonight.

After 8 years of Bush who wants Obushama, Its true Bush never flipped flopped like Obama but there gaffs and IQ are closely related. We'll take a dem house and senete with a McCain presidency that should be a good balance for the center.

The Double-Talk Express sails on.

In his rush to get the support of any "agents of intolerance", McCain tried for a year to get an endorsement from the hapless Rev. Haggee. After Haggee's nonsense finally became known to McCain, he threw him under the bus. Now, he tried to get the Grahams, but they were smart enough not to jump for his hypocritical pitch.

Independents should ask themselves if this major flip-flopper is just being a hypocrite. IT SEEMS OBVIOUS WHY YOU HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT MCCAIN'S OWN MINISTER.

Peter in VA you have to ask yourself, why are we even at war, why does other country HATE the USA? I will tell you why, Bush, we are bullies trying to police the world. We are currently at war because Bush wanted to go down in history period. If we started off with a responsible president people like you would not have to worry about our safety!!!!! We have to stop the bleeding, heal the words that were caused by MY FORMER PARTY!

All these political leaders smoozing with religious leaders makes me mad. Politics should be totally free from religion, lest we end up like the crazies on the other side of the ocean.

Lisa ............ Mccain put Hillary on the ticket?............Lisa you are beyond repair...........Bill and Hillary Clinton are diehard Democrats
The Clintons are supporting Senator Obama.......Now go to the .MOVIES.......You need a break !!!!!

What a shame. Maybe he should have stayed with his first wife and not left her for Cindy. This is sad. Where does McCain go to church? Does he have a pastor? The Evangelicals are not pleased with him. He is going to need more than pastors' endorsements to help him in this election. Bush has already used them.

read all 108 of these post...GOD i love America!!!
we are the best, some some vile post to those that make a lot of sense...we have the right to speak.
guys i love the fact that you still bring up Rev. Wright, i wonder if anyone ever listened to the whole sermon? i know you can see some on you tube...don't just listen to the sound bites the media used.
yeah we have some nut jobs on here too but God Bless em
Homo Sapien- love what you wrote...

now i support Obama for many reasons his race is the least. i believe that he will lead our Nation in the right direction.
as for all his Hillary bashing...please show me a website or something were i can see this for myself. i remember him giving her great respect...more at times than she earned.

as for Mr. McCain...great meeting, i hope it went well for you but i do not trust you to run our country...if for no other reason KEATING 5.

KEATING 5 speaks to much of this mans priorities and moral fiber

Was there a headline that said Obama did get an endorsement from the Grahams? Or are you just taking the opportunity to make a non-news story into an anti-McCain story, CNN????????

TO still for Hill
people like you kill me, you act like every time Hillary opened her mouth she said nothing but good things about Obama, you act like she was soooo clean, remember she was the one who started the race thing! HILL and her people remember “the only reason he has made it this far is because he is black” as to say all the blacks voted for him to get him this far. Hillary was to one who put the rumor out that he was a Muslim! HELLO! So just stop try to make Hillary out to be the victim.

Check out Jeff Sharlett's new book "The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power," if you want to get a better sense of who McCain is talking to. ( tuesday June 24 interview on The Dianne Rheem show WAMU public radio 11:00 segment )

As a retired navy veteran i am ashamed to see a once proud and strong Navy officer grovel at the feet of losers of all ilks and religions and lobbyists and ther female escorts to become a war mongering suck up to further the ambitions of his lobbyist friends and continue a war mongering mentality. What a disgrace to a once honorable man and service. I thought I could not vote for Obama due to inexperience and lots of talk with no known senses but i am sure now that I can and will vote for him over Mccain because of Mccain 's groveling like a little pig to further someboby's killing of Americas youth. I have 6 grandkids that I fought for to prevent some KOOK from trying to kill them.

Hey I'll endorse John McCain. An easy endorsement. He has the same values that we Americans share. Let's all get behind him and contribute.

The problem with those Obambots and others of the same ilk, is that they never ask the question what would happen if we departed Iraq?

We need a public discussion on what may happen, if we leave Iraq, covering all the advantages and disadvantages.

If we would have had this, maybe bush and the neo's wouldn't have invaded. But we are there and we need a national discourse with some of our bright people.

Colin Powell said it's like the guy in the china closet dropping a cup. If you break it, you buy it.

So let's get Powell, some others and Shinsecki and try to find an intelligent, honorable way out of this mess. I think McCain can do that and I don't think the empty suit can.

Christ Cultists have screwed this country up enough! Leave your religon in church! For the love of God!

To: NEVER Obama
So what you are saying that McBush never trashed any Repub?? And now he is cool with them that he has won?? Are you trying to say he still does not like his opponents?
Get your fact straight he never called her a raciest. Just because you keep saying it does not mean he said it. You must be one of those bitter Hillary supporters. It is funny how that woman who lost, even after trying to slip through the cracks understands there can only be one winner! But you bitter mean hateful Hillary people are sad and you really need to be put in time out. That is one reason I was a republican for many yr. the Dem party has a bunch of winner babies in it who will thought a fit just to get there way. A
But we all know the real reason you will never vote for him…
You can’t bring yourself to vote for a black man. I understand
I’m white and I had to come to terms with that fact that this black man
Will have to be my leader.

What will we do when Mr. Graham is gone? How many times in the last 50 years have I sought the wisdon the this great man.

to Generation: just give it up! it is over and the lady in the paints suite is cool with it. Obama in the Man voting for McBush is not going to change the fact that Hill did not win. so lets move on. better yet vote for McBush! if Hillary did win you would have found some reason to vote for McBush and way, you have not loyalty to the ones you came to love!!!

Here he comes again. John McCain will deny Rev. Billy Graham if any controversial statement pops up. What a desperate man looking for Evangelical votes.

beware pumas are at it double post two diffrent names one ;;; still for hill two;;; no obama never to diffrent names same post GO AWAY PUMA WE KNOW WHAT YOUR UP TO YOU LITTLE REPUBLICAN TROLLS WELL IT AINT GONNA WORK WE AS HILLARY AND OBAMA SUPPORTERS ARE MUCH SMARTER THAN THAT AND WE WII UNITE AND CRUSH MCCAIN I KNOW PUMAS YOUR SCARED ITS OK YOULL BE OK WITH PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!

McCain is using Gram. I think it is sad that he is doing this. Grams people will not vote for him just because he visited Gram out the clear blue sky. It was all for show, the headline. The Republican will stop at nothing. It is truly sad

hey still fior hill; can you please explain to me how obama ran that kinda of campaign i and plenty others just dont see it sounds to me your still bitter for you to think john mccain will reach out to you and help you well you have seriously gone off the deep end when he goes against everything with you being a democrat stands for and he goes against everything hillary stands for so STOP BEING BITTER AND STOP COMPARING HILLARY TO THE MCCAIN TO SAY HILLARY AND MCCAIN ARE ALIKE WELL THAT IS TOTAL DISRESPECT TO HILLARY AND YOU OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED!!!

aware June 29th, 2008 1:45 pm ET

McCain is the candidate of moral clarity and that is what America needs in a president!
______________________________________________________

NOT! Just ask his Ex-wife and those who were on the receiving end of his profanities. Not much moral clarity there. Maybe that's why he got no endorsement from the Grahams.

CNN I know I typed this for nothing! You never print the truth about McCain.

Obama for Canadian Prime Minister !!

McCain is not a Cristian – ask his wife!
So why is he pretending???

Older White Catholic Canadian for the Democrats – "eight years of hell – how much more can you take???? "

Though I am an atheist, it's actually refreshing to see a religeous leader who actually has universal values.. and doesn't look down upon other segments of the religeon.. or even other religeons.

Those other idiots like Dobson who think everyone who doesn't believe as they do and who think a practical application of religeous beliefs to the real world is sinful should be deported.

They just had the conversation! Give them some time to think about an endorsement. These days an endorsement means every word ever spoken will be parsed and judged for weeks. Who needs that kind of misery.

McCain just proves himself to be a phoney. Flip flopping on the religious leaders – hear he is blatantly pandering. And he has the audacity to say that Obama's word can't be trusted! Who even knows what McCain actually stands for anymore – or should I say what THIS McCain stands for because this one is just a characature of the 2000 version. He's a snake, and I don't trust him.

Grow UP and get real but how can you with a name like doc4nuts. YES we be in a world of SHT when the 20/30/40 generation take over. Because you can serve the way it is whit out your MOMMY AND DADDY. Because you don't have any money. When you generation takes over you will make the United States a 3rd world county. Sad but True.

I would like to say that the haters on both sides – Hillary Haters & Obama Haters – YOU ARE ALL MISSING THE POINT!!!!

THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT CANNOT AFFORD TO WAIT FOR CHANGE INCLUDING MY GRANDMOTHER, MY KIDS, AND MY FUTURE UNBORN CHILDREN.

I WANT YOU TO TELL MY GRANDMA AND MY KIDS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO RUIN HER CHANCE FOR CHANGE JUST BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO CAST A PROTEST VOTE FOR MCCAIN, OR THAT YOU WANTED TO CONTINUALLY HATE ON HILLARY AND CAUSE HER SUPPORTERS TO NOT SUPPORT OBAMA!!!!

YOU PEOPLE, YOUNG AND OLD, NEED TO GROW UP!!!!!! AND FOR THOSE THAT SUPPORTED HILLARY AND NOW MCCAIN.... WHY DID YOU SUPPORT HILLARY IN THE FIRST PLACE????? EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU ARE POISENED WITH THE SIN OF RACISM, AND YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO OBAMA AND GIVE HIM A FRIKKEN CHANCE!!!!!

OBAMA/CLINTON 08
PLEASE..... MY GRANDMA CANNOT AFFORD TO WAIT 4 MORE YEARS!!!

Separation of church and state is so paramount to our survival. What the heck is wrong with you people? Judism, Christianity and Islam will be the destruction of the world.

NOW WHAT? The Grahams ain't GOD!

love the ignorant people,

Obama called Hilliary a racist? Let me see quotes and links please

McCain is a honorable man? The man who divorced his wife just because she was in a accident and married a blonde millionaire the next month?

Obama constantly trashed Hilliary? You will probably find 25-30 examples of Hilliary trashing Obama to maybe 2 or 3 examples of Barack trashing Hilliary. But, ya Barack was in the wrong.

Wow I absolutely despise Billy Graham, and the fact that John McCain would make time for a person whom preaches hate

John McCain would rather send our Son, Daughter, Fathers, Husband, Sisters, Cousins, Grandchildrens, and oh yes Aunts to there death on foreign soil instead of talking to create peaceful talks..

We need a change from the Bush style politics.......

never obama or what ever stupid name u can come up with
i am suprised that someone as stupid and cowardly as you can actually write
or did u get ur 4th grade kid to write for you?

it makes no sense
you sir/ma'am are an imbeccile

Farrell from Houston, TX, you're obviously an idiot. McCain is 18 years younger than Billy Graham. Where I went to school 89 minus 71 equals 18. Do they teach math in Baja Oklahoma?

CNN, Pleas edo not distort the news. Do you think that Bill Graham is going to endorse Obama. Also Obama will not even get praise from Bill Graham.

I praise the continous faith of the Grahams but I also am of the opinion that they will look toward the country's need for a Christiian and and very fine man that will give us all the Hope and Change so desperately needed and that is Brack Obama.Tha Latinos will hopefully see the need as well.
Kay/Illinois

Man is not in charge;God is; so If you got a problem," take it to God, in prayer." Not Man; for he can do nothing, himself........................

Yet another thing for McCain to flip flop on as it looked like he was running low on issues to change positions on. His senate seat is calling him back after November.

Yes, God is in control.

Why do all these politicians, including both Obama and McCain, want the endorsement of millionaire "medicine men"? I'd like to see the Grahams' balance sheet, wouldn't you?

Come on down!

Endorsements and polls are for people too lazy to think about issues or make decisions for themselves.
And the main stream media isn't helping by continuing to evade talking about issues.

This is just incredible!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder how many of the people blogging here even know that Billy Graham is a registered Democrat!!!

In politics we can have strange bed fellows!

Wow, John McCain is an American hero. Barak Obama is a one term senator. I think it's clear who is the better qualified to be President of the most powerful nation on Earth.

mccains is a looser flip floper thats why people stop liking him. go home mccains warmonger. obama 08!!!!1

Thank goodness he didn't get there endorsment, a young punk and an old fart who can't recall one day from the next, he is better off not to get any support from these two nobodies.

Uncle Sam:

Well then I hope Joe Biden gets on the bandwagon Now, cause we're just about to have Two wars for John to do everything that he can to get us out of ! Georgie and Dickie are now making plans for an attack on Iran! This time the supposition is Nuclear Weapons vs. WMD's.
God Help Us All if those elected officials making the big salaries don't do something truly worthy of earning their salaries soon!

Almost makes me want to vote for McCain since these wingnuts won't even endorse him! Must be something good about McCain, the way I see it!! NOT!

Please do not say bad things about any minster or clergy . They are to be respected by all of us. Included;

Father Pfleger
Rev. Hagee
Rev. Wright
Rev. Parsley
Rev. Graham
and Mr. Dobson (even if we don't agree with them) this is wise to do.

Franklin Graham knows McCain is going to lose. He will keep his powder dry for 4 years when Jebb Bush runs. then he will be able to endorse someone who will be in a position to repay his support. Sad, but most likely true!

Billy Graham is just another hate monger. It sickens me to even think of a potential President meeting with militant religious people.

We let the religious conservatives pick our last president and look where that got us. Rev. Graham has led many people to Christ but he has also made terrible remarks about other religions.....and was "in" with too many politicians so his endorsement wouldn't do anything for me; I can think for myself. McCain will do or say ANYTHING to get President before his name and I was for him in 2000. I was a Hillary supporter all the way and am one of those "older" Democratic women who felt she was wronged. I swore I would not vote or vote for McCain but I have come to my senses and will vote for Obama. This country is headed in a terrible direction and 7 /12 years of George Bush and his Republican partners has not helped any of us.

McCain, McSame, McWar, McNafta and Mcbush etc. Which one is the greater? Mr. Graham is a very WISE man. He does not agree with McCain, there is something that just does not register with him spiritually concerning McCain, and that is why he is not endorsing him. I wonder what it is? Maybe it is what the opening remarks of my statement is.

@still for Hill

What planet are you on? Really, I am curious, because none of that happened hear on Earth.

It's easy to see that McCain's straight talk has done more 180s than Linda Blair in the Exorcist... his stance on the issues are out there on public video for anyone to see.

You see, John... this is the age of the Internet & cell phones with cameras... anything can and will be online forever not long after you do it.

Tons of sites out there with it. NoBushThirdTerm is one.

I am a republican and i love BUSH.
If you love BUSH as well, please vote for McBush! Ye-Haw.

Senator McCain: Thanks for your outstanding service over the past 50 years.

Obama for America

Moral clarity?? Didnt John McCain leave his first wife shortly after meeting Cind McCain?

George Bush used religion to help get elected but it won't work this time...
Obama is standing out for EVERYONE no matter what your religion is.

Obama '08

For all of the attention Obama has gotten for his trouble attracting white blue-collar workers. McCain is still having a major problem attracting social conservatives. The fact that the Grahams did not endorse him shows the problem he is having. Even when all of the other candidates dropped out of the primaries, McCain was losing votes to candidates not in the race anymore. At this point, McCain has not convinced a large segment of social conservatives to now support him. Many of them will stay home on Election Day.

McCain will need a lot more help than what you media types and republicans can provide. What you all fail to understand is the old adage"With God on my side, who shall be against me." What's in the dark will come to light.
Obama/Carolyn Kennedy 08'

YAWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN! Man, I'm getting the McSame fever.

Now...McCain is the one on the far left?

didn't billy graham endorse Dubya 2 times

McCain's all about war and more war.
He's a dead end road.

This life long Democrat is left with no choice but to vote for McCain.

I can not support a Democratic candidate who participated in a racist church for the past 20 years. It goes against our Democratic beliefs and fight against racism.

Are we supposed to excuse the racism now just because the candidate who participated in the racist church is black?

NO We do what we always do and we stand up against people who participate and contribute to Racism and Hatred. This year that candidate is Obama.

No OBAMA

I find it interesting that Graham is basically staying out of it. I wish other religious people would follow suit. I mean, sure, their issues are important to them and all that, but I think that they are realizing that being one issue voters really does them a disservice in areas of their lives that matter more than someone else's abortion or same-sex marriage.
What is worse, perceived sins of others than poverty? Idealistic war or domestic pandemics?

When things are good, you have more stability to worry about blue laws, but when things suck as bad as they do now, suddenly telling others what to do becomes less important.

"Wisdom of our Fathers" The men who built this country must hold steadfast.

McCain looks stupid in the photograph. Is there any way to get a good pic of him?

McCain is a Joke !! If the Graham endorse him..then they are a Joke too !!!

Old people talking to older people usually means bad things for the young people...

Generation X

Wow, you've cleverly developed an acronym for PUMA. Good boy!

McCain '08 The Real American President

I hope the Grahams pray for McCain. He needs it, since he's sacrificed himself to Bush.

mccain pandering to right wing hipocrites.

In light of John McCain's Christ-like act as a POW when he denied himself freedom from imprisonment and torture out of love for his fellow captives, I am not worried about John's religiosity.

Even after all the primary election hoopla, I still don't know much about Sen. McCain's faith or sense of values, so it meant a lot to me for Rev. Graham to say he was impressed by Sen. McCain's faith and moral clarity on important social issues facing America today.

What I'd like to know is how a God-fearing democrat could vote for Obama, a man that has shown by his own words that he will help more unborn babies be killed, he will promote homosexuality, and he doesn't love America enough to stand for her for fear of offending someone!

I thought it was worth noticing that the Graham's did not endorse McCain. They talked about how he is moral and interested in aviation. Hm. McCain is sure working hard to get some preacher somewhere to like him–one that doesn't advocate what Hagee and parsley are advocating.

June 29th, 2008 2:29 pm ET

Roger, if you noticed McCain asked for the meeting. What would you have them say? Of course there was praise. The most obvious conclusion was that McCain was looking for an endorsement. Both Graham's are gracious men. Get it?

I get it alright. I couldn't see Billy Graham endorsing any politician. He would more likely endorse a church. Obama needs to have another photo-op with Jerimiah Wright. Don't be jealous that McCain has better taste in religious leaders.

Praise is good. Personally, I think it's better when religious leaders don't endorse candidates.

McCain – 2008

P.U.M.A.

ewwww, more Christian conservatives!

Wow! Look at that furniture. It must have been purchased when McCain was only 12 years old.

I guess if wasn't for the American people are highly partisan within their parties and it seems that we have incredibly short memories, then it would be clear McCain is pandering big time.

The right wing is dreaming, McCain is probably agnostic and is not really into it at most. With Republicans you can be a good Christian even if you don't really even believe in God. Apparently, the definition of good Christian is being the most socially conservative candidate available because he sure seemed wildly less popular and trustworthy with these people 7-8 years ago.

What faith is McCain? He has never mentioned it in public. Does his 'Personal Faith' mean faith in himself? McCain has referred to other Christian leaders as 'agents of hate' and 'crazy'. I guess McCain felt that the Grahams are so acceptable and popular that he could meet with them without stirring any controversy and backlash. Atta Boy McBush. Play it safe and never commit to an issue or a cause...except never ending war that is.

Two old men and an aging baby boomer. I will be so glas when the 20/30/40 generations take over. Enough of this static mindset!

BEYOND ARROGNCE.????:.......The Democrats unity show…our party,party party…blah..blah…taking the people for granted as is somehow the democrats can claim ownership over the voters who casted their votes in the primaries..
18+18= 36 million start to think independent and vote McCain, the man of his word:..........WHO died and left YOU in Charge.........You are 1 in a MILLION .........A little LONELY on THAT LIMB!!!!......BEYOND ARROGANCE to STUPIDITY

No man or woman is a Christian if they would choose war over negotiation as the first option. Killing in war is not an accident of nature or of God. It is a despicable act of mankind.

@ Still for Hill; Go and join the rest of the nuts: PUMA (Poor uneducated miserable adults). Give the rest of us a break!! LMAO

Alot of people on here are bashing MCcain for the war in Iraq. Do you remeber that Sadam Hussein killed his own people, that his sons were raping women on their wedding nights, that if you didn't like Saddam you would be in prison or dead for not for voting him, positive news on Iraq does not sell. How would you feel if you hated President Bush but if you did not vote for him you would be killed. Rember just because your not an American you are still a person that have dreams let other live it. George Washington did it for you!

MCcain 08

God bless Billy Graham and his son, Franklin Graham. We are a blessed nation and both of these men of God do not mince words in their sermons. They most certainly would preach to 90% of the Obama supporters about repentence from their hate and bitterness and forgiveness before they end up in a place without mercy or God. Democrats needs to get their morality straightened out before they can run the country.

Both McCain and Obama have now talked to Franklin Graham ... one of the most publicly homophobic voices in religion!

Did Mc Cain really call his wife an obscene name as RAW is reporting? They said he used a very ugly word toward Cindy. He as well as others need to live by James 3:10 regardless of where they have been or where they want to go. Profanity and Christianity is like oil and water- do not mix.
Before these ministers endorse people they,too, need to vet those seeking their co -signing in a campaign.

BTW, Does anyone know what Pastor Hagee's opinions are on the mid-western floods? We all know what he thought about Katrina.

DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!

that's a sign that even for his own supporters he doesn't deserve the job in the White House!!!
He is to much supporting a war policy instead of pledging for a more peacefull world.

go Obama

WOW! What an honor to be in the presence of Billy Graham, and to know that he is praying to the God of our forefathers for this Presidential Candidate. I do feel that John McCain knows the Lord and is seeking His will for our Country.

xddy, only Republicans are responsible for the wrongs in the world?? Evil and sin dont stop with one party. The Democrat Party has more than its share of liars, cheats and sell outs. I would much rather John McCain meet with Rev. Graham than the preacher that Obama met with for 20 years.....

P.S. You Obama cool aid drinkers, when this country completes it's hell in a hand basket trip, it will be you people who nailed the coffin shu.....

and now to see what skeltons are in Grahms closet......

Let me see if I get this right.
Obama goes to a radical church. I think there is no doubt he goes to church. Some say he's a muslum... well the last I remember the constitution grants us freedom of religion, so if Obama was a Muslum then that would be a religion right.

WHAT IS JOHN MCCAIN'S RELIGION?? Has anyone ever seen him in church? Who is his pastor?
Oh I forget he doesnt believe in the 10 commandments. Especially the one that says thou shall not commit adultry.
Fact: McCain does not attend church
Fact: He cheated on one wife with Cindy... He is an adultrer.

"My Democratic friends may not like to hear me say this, but I know John(McCain) and he hates war and would do everything he could to get us out of Iraq."

– Sen. Joe Biden from a 2008 televised interview

And?
That was a quiet statement with no intensity whatsoever in humble thoughts- not like the other two pastors.

Billy Graham is a racist, anti-semetic swindler. The press would have a field day with his comments if he were African-American.

REV. GRAHAM AND HIS SON WILL INDORSE OBAMA. McCAIN CANNOT BE TRUSTED, HE LIES MORE THAN GEORGE BUSH.

TOO Bad all you "LIFE LONG DEMOCRATS" are REPUBLICANS posting on here. Get a life people!

Oh and McCain? the guy doesnt know left from right.
"Germany's president Putin" – McCain ...
Good going bud, you sure know your foreign affairs .. too bad putin is russian .. oh and one more thing, theres a word called "retirement" – look it up in the dictionary.

Obama 08

Billy Graham Enterprises is a fund-raising organization dedicated to the ideal of raising funds. That they're so effective at what they do should amply demonstrate the pervasive gullibility humanity clings to so dearly.

Looks like the Harriet Christian-types are out in force today. "Publicly raped" Hillary? Wow. It's scary to see that kind of delusional thinking, but sadly enough, even after Hillary herself has made a (long overdue) concession and public endorsement of Obama some just won't admit that the better candidate won. He won because he ran a better campaign and Hillary's people ran a tragically mismanaged one that was designed to sorely underestimate Obama. Many forget he was the underdog when this all started. The women among you that say you'll vote for McCain are utter fools; any woman that would vote for a man like that either never planned to vote Democrat in the first place or is simply ignorant to the facts. Have some cheesecake and vote how you will. You'll find a home in the GOP, I'm sure. They'll need you after they get trounced, again. See you on the campaign trail in 2012 – bring your trollops!

I'm not in support of all of McCain's positions, but I would feel safer knowing that McCain was in office than with Obama. While I think Obama is capable, and his lack of experience doesn't necessarily disqualify him in my opinion, McCain is simply better for the job right now. We don't need a democrat in war-time talking about troop withdrawals immediately, etc, etc. I also find his lack of explaining how we'll change frightening. I know his stances, I just wish he would say them more often. I suppose it's harder to sound eloquent when you're throwing numbers around and words that the common person just doesn't care to listen to.

Regardless, McCain has my respect if not my vote. Obama is yet to earn that.

The "moderator" on this thread must only want the most obnoxious and least objective posts possible. I guess my analysis wasn't of that genre.

GOD bless His heart, about time McCain met with the Graham's family. That's very positive news for Senator McCain. I'm so glad Senator McCain met with Evangelist Billy Graham and Son. I appreciate the fact that Evangelist Billy Graham and Rev Franklin Graham had such important meeting with Senator McCain. Thanks a billion! McCain 2008.

it sounds like ever one on her is talking about nO brain bama on here
it s to bad he was a coward never was in themilitary and he wants us
to listen to him RIGHT what a joke

What does this have to do with running the nation. Keep it real, or don't report it..

Obama met secretly with Franklin Graham a couple of weeks ago but unlike McCain, didn't turn it into a photo-op. There's the difference in the candidates.

To Phil from FL,

You brought up a excellent point on Mccain and his ex wife. That was a broken vow which in my book translates into a broken word/promise. So now Mccain has the audacity to call out Obama saying his word cannot be trusted?? Mccain loses points everytime he opens his mouth!

Still for Hill:

No one stole the election. Hillary lost fair and square. Obama was the smarter candidate, and ran a better campaign so stop hating on Obama! Hillary lost get over it and move on to the future. Go ahead and vote for John McCain. Just pray you are under the draft -to- come age limit. But maybe you have children or grandchildren they can be drafted. John McCain is going to keep this war raging...So, vote for him!

Give it up, McCain. Your pandering won't help you this election. The American people are tired of the neocon agenda. Your days are over.

Yikes... NOT a flattering photograph.

First of all, it's taken from above, which emphasizes the smallness and fragility of the three men. That's not necessarily a bad thing, because it provokes humility. Poor Rev'd Graham really looks tired and confused, though ... McCain looks like he's wearing three pounds of pancake makeup and greasepaints, and he has the porcelain-doll ankles of an elderly seamstress ... Franklin looks the most relaxed and comfortable of them all.

The furniture is from the 1960s or early 1970s. I wonder if the whole portrait was a Democrat propaganda setup to make McCain look old, feeble, and out of touch.

Ron wrote:
"i guess you never heard of the crusades have you laddie Christians have been fighting Islam for centuries. "

Yes. And quite frankly I wish they kept their centuries old beef OUT of politics. Some of us are neither Christian NOR Muslim and are just trying to live decent lives.

But, in your words, you can be forgiven as another McBush supporter who is intoxicated with the concept of war.

See? I can do it too.

I want to know how can McCain relate to the future youth of America, let alone the hispanic and AA community. Despite the history of the latino vote leaning Republican, little has been done for the community or for AA for that matter. Personally his POW status does NOT make him presidential material . Besides that, he is just TOO old.

Rev. Graham is the only one left who is still deserving of an honorable place in Americvan evangelism . I don't care that has met with a known idion like Senator McCain, however I do commend him for not issuing an endorsement.

I believe his statement is a simple one – VOTE for the candidate who best represents your views, and when the election is said and done, pray for the person who has won, regardless of who he may be.

I could never think or say the same for pigs such as Pat Robertson or James Dobson; if these people enjoy tax exampt status, it should certainly be revoked.

yeah and i detest people who detest....who else is going to rule joan rivers and her style hissers

So many Christians, so few lions....

Frankly, I seriously doubt that Billy Graham approves of McCain's adultrous background and probably wishes he didn't have to have the guy in his house.
Immediately following McCain's departure, the Grahams had to call in the exterminators and pray for forgiveness for even having the guy over. The last thing that John McCain is is a God fearing Christian. He dumped his wife, had a six month adultrous affair and married his plastic faced, silver spooned mistress for money.l

Hillary 08

Obama 2000 and Never!!!!

In 1993, Graham said in Columbus, Ohio, "Is AIDS a judgment of God? I could not say for sure, but I think so."

Yup, just another person McCain would bend over backward to get his endorsement.

McCain has no moral authority. He is fully for war as a first resort, not a last one.

He not only supported the sin of the war in Iraq, but he was cheerleading for it even earlier than Bush. He advocated we bomb North Korea in 94. And now he is giving clear indications that he wants to start a war with Iran. In fact, regarding Iran, McCain is basically being Bush all over again.

McCain's first instinct in dealing with a problem is to wage war. He would be a dangerous person to have in the White House.

(couple of spelling errors corrected!)

How in this world a Christian could support Bush and McBush is beyond me. I realize wars need to be fought when thrust upon us (like WWI and WWII), but to entangle the U.S. in a war like Bush has done is criminal, insane and dictatorial, and filled with demagoguery.

The elder Graham has certainly had much contact with presidents over the years, but would do wise to steer clear of McBush, for certain. I don't think he even should become embroiled with Obama and others.

McBush would do well if he came out, spoke the truth and denounced Bush instead of acting like he's family or something. I do not like Obama, but I detest Bush and anyone that stands with him.

Mm. That's rich. MCCAIN is the moral candidate? Doesn't anyone care that McCain cheated on his crippled wife, and left her for a woman who left HER husband for McCain? McCain and morality is a joke. I may be sad that Hillary's no longer in the race, but at least OBAMA has always had ONE wife who's he's been faithful too. McCain is just a joke sham of a candidate all around.

Why not? He needs all the help he can get. All of those supporting him should read his "before Cindy" biography.

Wood Burns... to call Billy G a Christian nutbag tells me everything I need to know about you and what you belive in.

How in this world a Christian could support Bush and McBush is beyond me. I realize wars need to be fought when trust upon us, but to entangle the U.S. in a war like Bush has done in criminal and dictatorial and filled with demagoguery.

Where is Rev Wright yet in the basement praying for Obama. At least McCain did not hide Billy Graham in the basement to pray for him. Billy Graham loves America.

My father and I are supporting John McCain for president because he knows who the real president is.

After a few senior moments with Billy Graham, McCain was seen coming down the mountain carrying two stone tablets.

Remember, folks, this is the same Billy Graham who cozied up to George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004. So much for moral clarity!

re Texas for obama
i guess you never heard of the crusades have you laddie Christians have been fighting Islam for centuries. but you can be forgiven being an obamanite distorting lying and justifying must come naturally.

Barack Obama jumps in front of a parade and calls himself a leader.

I wonder if it could because he knows that Mc has not paid his taxes on his California house in five years. What a sin, Americans with one house can not afford to keep it in todays economy, and Mc has nine homes and rips on the people of CA on the needed taxes. SURE HE WII MAKE AN IDEAL REP PREZ

There are many things that are best left unsaid, but it's clear to most people.

McCain has to make the promises to get the endorsement;
1.) No federal funding or endorsement of abortions.
2.) Federal funding for "faith based" cash cow programs.
3.) No tolerance for gay marriage.
4.) No discussion of reduction of or elimination of tax free status for multi billion dollar religious corporations.
5.) Total and unwavering financial and military support for Israel.
6.) Free flow access to the president to perpetuate credibility.
Agree to these 100% and ‘Ol Billy the king maker with give you the nod.

BTW, I think the meeting with the son and not the king would have meant nothing. Without Billy in the photo there is no value in the photo op. Did anyone take "king's" pulse before the pic? Are we sure that wasn't a cardboard cutout?

Moral clarity, hah! Is that what it's called when you dump your crippled wife and three kids for a rich cheerleader who is 20 years younger? First wife was a model and had an accident while he was in Viet Nam. He came back and found she had put on some weight and was four inches shorter. While still married, he hooked up with the rich cheerleader who's daddy's money paid for his political beginnings. Yes, he did. Tell me all politicians are opportunists and go ahead and still vote for him! That's moral clarity too,

No endorsement – smart and prayful people.

If this visit was not political, then why the press photo?

At this point, the meetings these candidates have are always political in some form or fashion. Just another reason why McCain should not be going after Obama for trustworthiness when he makes such statements.

By the way, no oil drilling off the coast, no more war, no more tax cuts to the rich and big business. You are right, Obama is Mr. No and I am proud to support Mr. No.

HEY JOE:
Lets keep God out of politics..but since you brought it up i will be praying to GOD that OBAMA IS NOT ELECTED PRESIDENT...OR ELSE WE WILL BE SINGING "GOD HELP AMERICA" at all baseball games...

PS: HOW DO YOU THINK MCCAIN SURVIVED ALL THOSE YEARS AS A PRISIONER?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...TAKE A GUESS!!!!!!!!!!!11

Even if he meet jesus christ that will not change the fact that he is not the person america is looking to lead us.

Wright believes 911 and Hagee believe Katrina were God's punishment. These views were rejected by Americans, but now McCain meets with a man who believes God sent a flood to destroy sinners in Noah's days.
(:+p

Matt, get it right, HILLARY ran up 20 million in debt, NOT Obama.

Even if he meet jesus christ that will not change the fact that he is not the person america is looking to lead us on on country.

McCain careless about the american people he only care about the rich and super rich.... Look at the money trail......

At least McCain will cross the aisle and work with democrats.

Both He and HRC have a good track record of doing exactly THAT.

Obama ran a hateful, sexist, racist campaign against a candidate of his own party.

That is not unity and that is not change.

This democrat defects to McCain over the ugly hatred from Obama ans his supporters shown to Hillary Clinton.

Hey McCain, stop pandering to these guys! The religious right is losing a lot of support, mostly from young members. From Dobson to the Grahams, people have had enough of being told they have no morals. Thanks to the religious right, they have given us George Bush, which is to say, the worst President in my lifetime.

What a crock!! Nothing but pandering and getting no endorsement to boot. I still believe in separation of church and state.

It is simply not fair to say McCain will take all our sons to war. Have you folks not ever heard the difference between the military draft and those folks who choose to serve in the military? What is really admirable about Senator John McCain is his believe and stand on opposing abortion – especially late-term procedures. That is taking a life which, any woman who has ever been pregnant to late term will tell you.

I believe in critiquing our candidates according to their party's beliefs. But to say nasty, critical accusations are abominal. Our candidates deserve our respect whether we endorse their party or their beliefs or not.

McCain says about the meeting, "there certainly is no political aspect to the meeting that I will have." Frankly, this is a lie.

OBAMA is the first candidate to hatefully attack and sabotage another candidate of the same party just to steal the nomination.

His message of hope, change and unity devolved into hate, bias, sexism against HRC and vile criticism of the Clinton years.

Remember how he labeled BOTH Clintons racists? But now he WANTS and expects their support? Remember his mocking Annie Oakley act? Remember how he brushed HRC off his shoulders? Remember him dismissing the prosperity of the Clinton years? Remember all the times he played the race card to advance himself?

Add his turn about on Rev Wright, NAFTA, talking to our enemies and withdrawal from Iraq...

And Yes, Obama is not to be trusted.

He is a dirty sleazy, race baiting politician.

McCain should remind Americans of how dirty and hateful Obama was to BOTH Clintons during the democratic primary.
And then ask: Is this change you can believe in.

Many democrats did not find Obama to be a uniter.

Another hard working weekend..

A WHOLE 45 MINUTES....WOW...(oh yes you had housework to do too)

Wake up from your naps Obamabots, it's time to post more hatemail against Mr. McCain!

He flip-flopped on his vow to love and honor his first wife (disabled) once a cutesy young millionaire came along.

I can't respect that at all.

Now he's going to other countries trying to give away more of our jobs. The guy just doesn't get it.

Way to court the evangelicals Johnny. Just give up already....the country already realizes that 4 more years of the GOP is 4 more years of chaos...

Obama '08/'12

This article is misleading. Franklin Graham said he would not endorse any candidates because he is a minister. It would jeopardize his ministry's tax free status if her were to endorse Senator McCain. The article should have said that. They make it sound like the Grahams wouldn't endorse him. Unlike Jeremiah Ranting Wright who gets up in the pulpit and plugs away at politics, the Grahams have some diginity and respect for the law.

Yeah, we need a candidate of moral clarity, Bush has done SOOO great with all his moral clarity. LOL

OBAMA 08

McCain is right.

Obama's word can NOT be trusted.

Look at how he plays nice with HRC after first trashing and bashing her. First he called her a racist. Then he trashed the Clinton presidency. Then he mocked and jeered HRC with his Annie Oakley comments and by brushing her off his shoulders. Then he called her a warmonger. Then he lied about HRC's NAFTA positions.

Then he supported Wright. Then he denounced Wright. Then he reversed himself on NAFTA, talking with our enemies and on withdrawing on Iraq.

NOW he pretends to be nice to HRC after politically raping her with his campaign of disunity and same old dirty hateful politics.

NO... THIS LIFELONG DEMOCRAT WILL NEVER VOTE FOR OBAMA

I am disgusted that Senator McCain would even think to ask for an endorsement but then again, he was originally scheduled to meet with Franklin Graham. Rev. Billy Graham was the pastor to so many of our Presidents yet he never endorsed a candidate and would never sink to the level of joining Jerry Falwell and the rest of his clown college. As someone with both undergraduate and graduate degrees in religious studies I can say with certainty that no where in scripture does it state that God is either a Republican or a Democrat. If you read the entire artlicle, neither Graham endorsed Senator McCain. The day they endorse a candidate is the day they loose their contributors.

Bill Graham is a very great man. I truly admire his work for Our Lord Jesus Christ. God Bless Him and his wonderful family.

Just for a general comment (should anyone read this), there are rules about civility that should be followed in any sort of discussion. A) Call people by their real names. We don't care if you think of John McCain as the same as Bush, which you're free to, but at least have the comon courtesy to call him by his real name. Name-calling gives the impression of an inability to understand real concepts due to lack of maturity. This applies to everyone: It's John McCain and Barack Obama, NOT McSame, McBush, or B. Hussein Obama. Regardless of where you stand. It's nice to know that there are some adults out there (and mind you, I'm a teenager). B) Use proper grammar and spelling. It's not tough, and it saves the rest of us a lot of trouble when reading your post. C) Spam posts do nothing but irritate us, and possibly turn us against your chosen candidate, which probably isn't what you had in mind. Example: "McSame will kep us in iraq for 100 more year! Barack Obama '08!" or "B. Hussein Obama is bad becaus he has no experince! McCain '08!"

Please, just be mature, perhaps for a change…

I admire the Graham family. I know that they will be praying for what is best for our country. " GOD'S WILL" will be done.

I am a life long democrat that was horrified by the way Obama, his campaign and his nasty hateful supporters trashed the Clinton presidency and publicly raped Hillary Clinton just to steal the democratic nomination. The biased media helped him do it.

I am now open to McCain and suggest that he use the many nasty things Obama said and did to HRC to attract her followers:

Painting the Clintons as racists after SC.

Mocking HRC with his Annie Oakley act after his bitter gun and God comments.

Brushing Hillary off his shoulders in NC.

Obama criticising The Clinton years.

Then McCain can ask is this unity? Many lifelong democrats did not think so.

well as you can see mccain is making silent moves that will have a big impact, regardless of endorsements praise is what brings forth power. I like mccain for his seemingly simple moves, something obama and hillary know nothing about since they run up 20 million dollars debts and get in fights with their own ministers just to go all out. Unlike that Soap Opera in the Democratic party McCain is winning the best praise of all. From people who are men of god with no time or interest for far-fetched rhetoric

McWar will suck up to anybody to get elected....did you tell them you are killing thousands in Iraq.

Do they believe in the 10 Commandments.."Thou shalt not kill"

They're not buying it McWar, what a wasted weekend for you.

Roger, if you noticed McCain asked for the meeting. What would you have them say? Of course there was praise. The most obvious conclusion was that McCain was looking for an endorsement. Both Graham's are gracious men. Get it?

"…there certainly is no political aspect to the meeting that I will have.”

What a crock. He's running for PREZ. Everything he does or says until November has a political aspect.

McBush will stop at nothing to appear to be the wise grandfather...well, no thanks, pop, I have had enough lies for a lifetime.

McCain will take all of your Sons to War. Is your vote that serious,that you'll give it to a man that don't care about your sons like you do.

Old people stick together, I guess. Young people will, however, take back our country, and fix the problems created by the old mentality. Count on it!

Graham isn't old enough to be John McCain's father, there's only an 11 year difference. With all due respect to Grahma he probably told McCain "you're almost as old as myself, what makes you think you can run this country". Graham is no longer running his ministry due to age an failing health.

A clear indication that McCain has a problem with his base! Rev. Graham has been very active in politics for years, but they are reluctant to endorse this man? I wonder why?

Obama 2008

Praise but NO endorsement says it all!
Obama 08

Even the Christian nut bags won't endorse Mcsame, fully.

No political gains?.... liar.... No endorsment?.... Wonder why?.... I'll tell you why.... They want their families out of this BS war, The rebuplicans lies to the american people are not in line with christians or any other faith..... Good luck on this venture John.... LOL

How can a man that says he's God spokeman (preacher) side with the Rebuplican party, a party that has nothing to do with the down trodden whom Jesus ministered to. This world is screwed up.

"While as a Christian minister I am not endorsing a candidate for president, I do endorse the responsibility of men and women of faith everywhere to vote and to be involved in the political process. I encourage people to vote for the candidate at every level who best represents their values and convictions, and then to pray for those in authority over us as required in Scripture.”

VERY well said....thank you Rev! Finally, someone knows the meaning of faith...

Sorry folks – I just can't believe that McCain is sincere in his chasing the Evangelicals.

He's pandering, in my opinion.

Re: McCain gets praise, no endorsement, from Grahams

Well CNN couldn't help but throw in a little negative in McCain's headline could they.

Billy Graham's praise is an endorsement larger than any amount of money.

This looks to me like a casting call for the movie GRUMPY OLD MEN!!

OBAMA/CLINTON 08

Mccain put Hillary on the ticket?

Well this doesn't surprise me because if you are truly a man of God. War is not the answer, and christians do not wage war. I will help the Grahams pray for John McCain. He is going to need all the prayers he can receive.

McCain / Graham '08

Good for McCain! He takes off on weekends and still earns votes.

McCain '08

I sincerely wonder what John McCain is doing with a respected preacher – Pa Billy with Franklin in attendance; McCain does not belief in God; from all that comes out of his mouth.
I doubt if John has ever been to a Church to worship GOD, he would have known that God moves in a misterious way; He could use the most foolish man on earth to tame the most wise or most powerful. Christians don't go to Church to worship human being but GOD. I hope Pa Billy will not dable to the Politics of John McCain...We are all Heaven bound.
Remain Blessed.

Great for John McCain he did the right thing in meeting with Billy and Franklin Graham. He did what is right for him and this great country of ours. I will admit John McCain need to unite the party!!! and this is a big stepping stone.

Lationos with McCain!!!!

Billy Graham is an amazing man

Billy Graham is an amazing man

you're still gonna lose McCain, with or without religious fundamentalists

Obama in '08

McCain is the candidate of moral clarity and that is what America needs in a president!
