Must he resort to dirty politics? I thought he was better than that. Anyone who believes this BS is a very vulnerable and easily manipulated (not to mention unthinking) individual. It resonates of desperation on McCain's part...you can't beat him on the issues so you resort to tacky and extremely distasteful antics. Wake up America!!!! Don't let someone of Obama's caliber get away when we need him the most. He will bring good, solid leadership to our country and regain the respect of the world for the Good Ole USofA.....

This election year the only thing needed was being the democrat on the ticket in NOV- they all figured the Nation was in such a bad way, and the republican brand SO out of favor, a democratic win so inevitable- that ANY democrat- even the least qualified one could pull a win off. Once Obama was the last democrat left standing... his path to the white house was ensured- or so the thinking went. So hate, race-baiting, vulgarity and insults were freely utilized to that end. They did not count on MORE than half of the party refusing to go along with a fixed primary. They did not figure half the party would forfeit ONE election rather than subvert democracy itself.

We've always known that McCain does not truly know the Lord and therefore has been uncomfortable whenever the subject of his faith comes up. What we didn't know is that he would be the leader of a flippant group of jesters that think it is in anyway appropriate to parody biblical symbolism for politics. Sorry, John, we don't appreciate your humor and if you TRULY were a devout Christian, you'd have shown some semblance of good judgement.
