I don't care what he said about being SAVED or NOT – he NEVER once mentioned Jesus!!! He mentioned God once!!!! And I am surprised at his answer when he knew ALL of the questions beforehand – they should have schooled him a lttle more to get it straight!!!

Yes he is. I was truly inspired by his words at the the last debate. While McCain was answering questions head on, mr. Slick(Obama)was studdering playing both sides of each issue.

Example: Obama said "I am pro choice but I will work to reduce abortions"??????????????????????????????

Get real. Take a stand Barrack and stick with it Mr. Flip Flop.

McCain a true American hero and a MAN of his words.

You can smell the Rat. Sure, MCFlipflop did not have a TV in the waiting Room, but he had his Blackberry in his pocket. The whole Forum was poisoned with religion. Church & State don't belong together. We were beiing raked over the coals once again with this fake Forum. God help us all if McSenile gets elected. Hillary 08/12

It appears that cnn likes to mold the information viewed her in the direction they want regardless if information has already been printed elswhere and brought to this foum. How democratic is that?

I suggest you go see "www.mediamatters.com" and look at the Jerome Corsi book, "Obama Nation".

John McCain should come out against this publication in full force because it attacks religion across the map regardless of which religion you come from. It is essentially the same book that he attacked John Kerry in "Unfit for Command". John McCain will not be saved and forgiven unless he stands against this vial and repugnant retorick. He may even have contracted it's writing.

Thank you CNN

I drive my spouse crazy because I do not come up with quick, flippant answers when asked a question. I have to take 4 or 5 seconds to analyze what I want to say. This is why I like Obama, he is not in a hurry to come up with an answer. He wants to mull and process. Quick answers lead to bad results many time. Also I McCain is going to get Osama, where is he going to get the troops to do this when he is going to keep them in Iraq for years to come?

McCain went in there and said what he knew the "base" wanted to hear from him. The word "pandering" comes to mind. His answers were not thoughtful at all……..he just snapped out canned responses in rapid succession. McCain takes an awful lot of positions that go contrary to Christian teachings to be touting himself as a person of great faith. He just this morning went before the VFW and talked about his committment to veterans even though he recently opposed the new GI Bill. He is two-faced and not to be trusted.

He won't need to find his way so much as the evangelicals will find more reasons to like him. Within the leadership, they have it in for Obama. He's black and liberal and, in spite of the rhetoric, the beliefs of the man just don't matter. Evangelicals would be the first to feed this Christian (Obama) to the lions.

They wish to pretend that it is a moral issue, but as soon as a faithful man like Jimmy Carter or Barack Obama presents the opportunity, the supposed faith-based voters find something else to talk about.

I search YouTube about McCain's ex-wife, my tears was out, my vote is not going to the person who treated his wife like dirt !

Pastor Rick Warren had different rules for Barack than McCain. He allowed MCain to campaign through the entire debate. McCain had quick answers because he knew the questions. Do you think he could have remembered all of the Supreme Court Justices when he can't remember anything else.

Barack answered the questions from his heart.

McCain was absolutely insincere on Saturday night. In addition, knowing answers to questions before they were even asked made it crystal clear that he cheated. Then, as a third strike, the "cross in the sand" story seems to have been lifted straight from the writings of Solzhenitsyn. Shame on McCain.

However, it wouldn't surprise me to see the Republicans cheat their way into the White House yet again. They've done it the last two elections.

Anybody but McCain '08

Rick Warren should be ashamed of himself. He lied about the forum being fair and unbaised. It was obvious that McCain had been privy to the questions before hand and that he had time to craft answers, especially about his faith, that have no truth in them. I should have known that the forum was rigged against Obama. It was sickening.

Politics + Religion = A failure of epic proportions

Rush told me John is a great christian just like him.

A truly spiritual man does not use deceit and dishonesty as blatantly as McCain did during the Saddleback Forum. Also the POW story was taken from the Gulag Archepelago (Soltzhenitzn). More lies.

Both McCain and Rick Warren should be ashamed.

NO. Unless you are taking about faith in lying, cheating and playing shameful polictics. He obviously cheated on the Rick Warrens Forum. He answered questions before they were asked !! He was not in "the cone of silence" and had his answers were prepared ahead of time and Rick Warrens knew and let him say whatever he wanted. Not even answering the questions and telling stories stolen from someone elses book (the cross in the sand from the book the Gulag.). His ads ahve been silly, offensive and untrue.

OBAMA 08

Its a pity and a shame that he changed his answer only for political gain. Meaningless.

I have been a democrat since long before I cast my first democratic ballot (1972 in the year of the first 18 y/o vote) at age 18.

I am now 54 years old and have been politically active and a true blue democrat all these years.

NEVER have I seen a more repugnant and despicable UNdemocratic group of supporters- of either party- as the Cult of nasty worshippers that Obama has inspired to support him and secure his nomination.

Makes me ashamed to be a democrat. The very ideals we stand for have been betrayed by race-card playing, name-calling, insults and denigration of other democrats and of HRC.

That is fact. That will be a big factor in this election.

It is also quite easy to find your way on faith when you get the questions in advance. Don't expect the medias to cover the scandal at Warren's forum, they will cover this one like all the other grave mistakes McCain made.

On an other note, I know most of you can not remember a President who thinks before he speaks. When you complain about Obama stuttering or mumbling, it is because the guy uses what is commonly called a brain. Any sound response necessitates time. It allows the person to avoid saying bomb bomb Iran, talking about a Pakistan-Iraq border, ressucitates a dead country, mixing up Shia and Sunni and so on.

Apparently MCCain was able to listen in on Obama and Warrens question and answer session. That would explain McCain's answering questions before they were completely asked. NBC and the New York Times have broken the story, while CNN tries to bury it.

So much fo John's faith and CNN's objectivity..

Dishonest Jonh McCain, taught well by dear old mom (I'm not suing Carol) McCain. Only John's infirm mind gave the deception away.

CNN why are you shelving my posts ("..awaiting moderation")? Am I pointing out your complicity too much?

Now that Rick Warren a supposed minister has revealed that he flat out lied about McCrypt being in a "cone of silence", during the forum Saturday night and was indeed leaving his hotel and in the motorcade to the forum. If McCrypt is finding his way, it is because he was spoon fed the early questions prior to his stage appearance.

Only McCrypt, who is locked in the 1950's would say he was in a cone of silence, because he was not near a TV! While I agree he is too stupid to figure out that the phone Cindy bought him will stream video from the internet and CNN, but surely at least the Secret Service agents are update enough to show him, and if not them, then the chauffeur.

Obama hit one out of the park regarding his answer on what constitutes rich: someone who's sold 25 million books. Churches have lost tax-exempt status just for sermons. Everyone in CA knows that the region behind the Orange Curtain is heavily GOP. This was a campaign stunt for McCain, and that's why I refused to watch. Rick Warren and Saddleback Church should lose their tax-exempt status IMMEDIATELY.

spongebob:

You forgot mcsenile, mcattack, mcmoron to name a few.

If Mccain is saved then he should stand against the out and out lies that the repugs are throwing at Sen Obama.

A true christian would not say I have no comment when that slimy book was published and distributed about Sen Obama. I think that mcbush should be honest with himself

McCain was more comfortable talking about war than faith.

I wasn't swayed by his misting up when he talked about his 1st marriage being his biggest failure. He's taking plays from Penn's playbook so I guess he figured it worked for Senator Clinton..

I nearly fell off the sofa when he vowed to drill for oil in a church!

LOL What an old fool!

Sponge Bob – Square Pants, I agree totally.

McCain believes life begins with conception. But he can thrown a human being away. That's what he did with Carol. Please google:
carol mcain bad car wreck. Everyone said John Edwards should have told the truth. Read about McCain and tell him the same thing.

How can anyone want Mccain for President.

McShameless belongs to the netherworld.

It isn't very holy to cheat at a forum in a church.

McCain knew the answers ahead of time… He cheated. That's just how pitiful of a candidate he is.

No Way I would vote for McShame who has such a sordid personal and political history.

My Lord would strike me dead on the spot.

McCain=cheater and lier….a lot like Bush

Leave religion out of politics. It hasn't worked in the past, and it won't work now and in the future. Bad things happen when you mix the two, and our founding fathers KNEW THAT. Building a wall between the church and the state is healthy.

And for the record, this isn't a christian nation. Never was, and never will be. Read your history and not your fable book.

"most atheists became that way from reading the bible…."

for the love of Pete, if you've accepted Jesus, you're going to say so. Jesus said that if you confess me before men I'll confess you before the Father. If you deny me before men, I'll deny you before the Father. McCain better watch out.

maurice August 18th, 2008 12:13 pm ET

Obama says "Bush is McCain`s president"! Who exactly is his president?
___________________________________________________
just because Bush is THE president that does not make him MY president…see the difference?

McCain was not in the Cone of Silence…McCain is a cheater.

Did McCain actually say he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior? He said he was saved and forgiven which means what to him? McCain could have said I like peanut butter sandwiches and the crowed would have cheered. They listen to Obama because there was actual substance to what he was saying. McCain told them what they wanted to hear in a Ross Perrot sound bite sort of way. Maybe I’m just not as bright as the rest of the world, but McCain didn’t bring anything to that forum. I also believe he knew the questions before he set foot on stage. Especially when the question over the Supreme Court Justices was asked. I would ask any intelligent, information seeking and reasonable voter to go back and listen to that particular question and answer.

McCain definetly knew the questions before the forum. I don't understand the lies about McCain NOT knowing. They can say all they want, but it was fixed. Also that the beginning of the program Rick said this will be an "interview like forum". In my book an interview is between two people…yet, Obama got chastised by the media because he didn't look at the audience Ift the people vote McCain they deserve 8 more years of BUSH. McCain is a piece of work. A mean phony at that.

I think that true Christians already know the answer about McCain's faith. He and the GOP use religion and faith to get the only thing that they care about (besides money) in this world: POWER. You know that it's true. So, if you like getting used, go vote for McCain. The evangelicals felt burned by Bush after they helped him secure the presidency and he ignored their agenda, and it will be no different under McCain. Please, if you voted for Bush, prove that you can learn a lesson. Try to understand that, while religion is important, America faces challenges that McCain cannot solve. Vote for Obama.

A true Christian would never offer their wife up to a bunch of bikers or anyone else for that matter.

What a joke ! He cheated on his first wife, he cheated on the second, And his story about the cross in the sand ! Please, this is plagiarizing Solzhenitsyn !!!

I don't trust McCain anymore. Do we still have to listen to him? He has lost me TOO many times in the last year.

mcshameless can hardly remember his own name, never mind answering any simple question without teleprompter.

have mercy on the old pathetic bum, LOL.

It will be peace in the world- once Obama takes his place.

There wouldn't be No wars, for Mccain to fight.
Mccain you are just some old frout looking for attention.

Time to take the republican smear machin DOWN.

McCain finding his way on faith?-right. I guess that's why he cheated on Saturday and plagarised comments.

The only faith McCain has is in Bush policies-nothing else.

He is finding his way to one line catch phrases and stump speaches. I admit he had good delivery but nothing about what he spoke about on Saturday lead me to believe he is truly a man of faith. More so it made me think with his "the one" commercial and war mongering answers that he not saved or understand the fundamentals teachings of the bibel.

McCain said he believes life begins at conception, but he is also in favor of embryonic stem cell research. He can't have it both ways.. or can he? No one seems to be calling him out on this contradiction.

John Mccain is the archetypal chameleon, changing his colors at will to match his surroundings…so the man that has been "saved" by Jesus thinks it is funny to joke about killing millions of people in one setting, expresses "regret" over his "failed first marriage" during which he cheated with his current millionaire wife in another setting, then expounds about "traditional family values" awkwardly in another. IF there is a real John McCain, have we ever seen him?

I read the DNC wants to paint the picture of Obama with an "All American" look. How!!???! Just a few pictures of him where he grew up or lived in Indoneisa, and NOBODY will believe he's All American.

what do you excepect he will say anything to get elected now. I would not be surpised if had said got talk to me last night. This guy is a republican remember what bush said when he sent our troops to Iraq, God advice me to go to Iraq, I am telling this false so called conservative christians had and will use God's name to score cheap politics, republican party is a party of smear, negative attack and demonize your openent to get elected Karl Rove tactic, they have nothing to offer to the American people we have seen it in the last eight years. America time to wake up and fight for your country don't be igrorant get involved study the candidates your self do not be consumed by the negaive attacks from the right wing media. Sean Hannity, Bill O'Relley are getting paid millions for spreading false rumors time to take the Republian spear machine.

McBush is pure pandering politics. If you ask a Christian, Is Jesus Christ your Savior. A Christian smiles and answers with a joyfull resounding YES. Yet when McCain was asked that question he waffled and dodged and flatly refused to say yes. McBush attends a Baptist Church and yet has never been Baptized. 'my friends', ALL Christians recieve Baptism. McCain has said in the past that he is not 'Born Again'. He has referred to Christian Leaders as agents of hate and crazy. Many Christians will vote for McBush simply because he is the Republican candidate. That is their choice to make. But if Christians vote McCain and think they are voting for the Christian candidate, they are sadly in error. Obama despite his liberal upbringing and views. Is the committed Christian candidate who does not hesitate to proclaim his Lord and Savoir Jesus Christ.

First…saying that you are a born again Christian is redundant. Second… God will forgive you if you vote for Obama. That's the great thing about God. He will overlook your screwups!

Georgian! Darned dyslexia…

Obama '08

Ummm… Uhhhhh…. Ahhhhh….. Welllllllll Ummmmm…..
That question is above my paygrade…

Great answer Barry… especially for a POTUS wannabee

What a joke

John killed hundreds of babies and their mothers from thirty thousand feet. But we arent allowed to talk about it, are we censors?

The Logan Act (18 U.S.C.A. § 953 [1948]) is a single federal statute making it a crime for a citizen to confer with foreign governments against the interests of the United States. Specifically, it prohibits citizens from negotiating with other nations on behalf of the United States without authorization.

SO, uh McSame…Your campaign guy, the lobbyist for Gerogia…did he put you up to that "We are all Georgians!" crap? No one I know is a Gerogian…We're Americans, pal! Inflammatory rhetoric seems to be your specialty and not very helpful to your current president…

When you get questions from a lawyer and answer the questions too fast they know you know the answers, I think McCain had a crash course in all the right things to say by his handlers!!!!!!!

I could not possibly care less about a candidate's religious views. Religion should have no place whatsoever in this election. Get to the real issues people!!

If he is a Christian or not, he only has God to answer to.

McCain cheated on that silly forum Saturday.
Cheater, Cheater, Cheater, Cheater, Cheater, Cheater,
Cheater, Cheater, Cheater, Cheater, Cheater, Cheater,
Cheater, Cheater, Cheater, Cheater, Cheater, Cheater,

sPoNgEbOb sQuArEpAnTs

You forgot one under far left fools, his name is Barack Obama!!!!!!!!!

He cheated on his Litmus Test by hearing the questions ahead of time.

I agree ATLian. Obama tried to give honest and thoughtful answers to the questions (as he was asked to do by Pastor Warren). McCain just went into his stump speech – he asked Warren if he could every time. Every single anectode he told, we've heard before. When asked about taxes, he talked about drilling. How does this candidate appeal to anyone? His platform has two planks – he's a POW and he wants to drill here, drill now. That's all the debates made clear to me. We have a choice between a thinking man and a scripted man. And we all know what the latter's presidency will look like…we've been seeing it for 8 years.

You people really don't get it, John McCain will do anything to win this election because he knows this is his last shot at it. McCain thought he had it back in 2K but, Bush swindled it from under him therefore, he is desperate and will do anything because he will be way too old in four years. So, you folks who think Mr. Straight talker will not do what ever it takes to win are just dreaming!!! He will lie, cheat and steal at this point!!! Don't be so naive people. McCain along with folks who believe that leadership in this Country should remain in the hands of Caucasian

He's a liar and a cheat…why did he not declare that he was not in a cone of silence when Pastor Warren asked him before the start of his segment?

JOHN MCCAIN WILL LEAD US TO MORE WARS. HE WILL NEED TO REINSTITUTE THE DRAFT AND HE WILL BANKRUPT OR COUNTRY AND SOCIAL SECURITY. BUT WE WILL HAVE ANOTHER 2% MORE OIL UNDER HIS COMMAND.

I honestly believe he is an ATHIEST IN DISGUISE FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES.

He really avoided questions about his faith and God on Saturday just like he does everytime this topic comes up.

maurice August 18th, 2008 12:13 pm ET

"Obama says "Bush is McCain`s president"! Who exactly is his president?"

You are a man of clear precision & astute vision, Maurice!

Could Obama truly be the ultra elitist?

Amazing how running for president can get you religion.

In a hurry.

OBAMA 08

he is soooo full of it. Its not even funny !! He did a great job at acting !!

We need to remember that we are to separate religion from politics. It is great that the canidates have faith but we are not to force religion upon anyone. We are not to wear our religion on our sleeves. Your religion is privatel.

even GW is distancing himself from Mcshameless the war-mongerer, LOL

Choice is clear:
want a socialist america, vote OBAMA;

Want freedom, liberty, and a good economy, vote for McCain.

McCain talked more about the military than he did about religion. It was just another reheared stump speech for him. And he likely knew some of the question since he arrived late and was traveling when the Obama was being asked questions.

At least Obama gave fresh answers while McCain gave very rehearsed and recycled answers.

Yeah waiting on stage after he heard the questions instead of being in the "cone of silence" and with a newly revised Christmas story now including the cross in the sand part, plagerized from one of his favorite authors.

Don't forget McDRAFT.

Some many dumb responses here and so little time to respond. Obviously the left-wing blogs, etc., have been busy pumping out this "Pastor Rick lied", "McCain heard the questions", etc., blah-blah-blah. Of course there is no indication of this.
Seems that so many were leaning left so far that they fell over and missed the part where BOTH candidates were given the format, the general areas, and the exact first two questions to prepare. BOTH CANDIDATES!
Even then Obama could not muster up a decent answer to those first two questions.
The left can't stand it if someone talks about their faith, and apparently can't stand it if they don't. Flip-flops anyone?

McCain's answer to everything…"When I got shot down (due to poor skills), blah blah blah.

One trick pony, just like Rudy (911, blah blah 911, 911)

If you think the GOP deserves four more years you should have your head examined.

I'm voting for Obama!

many in my church, which are 99% white, would rather vote for Bob Barr, or Obama.

most of veterans in my extended family support Obama, not mcshameless.

but few of us ever get a call from the pollsters, or

maybe we're too quick in hanging upon the unsolicited calls, LOL.

I dont see why people are making a big deal saying "Obama lost!". There really was no way to win or lose this forum, it wasnt a debate. The cards were clearly stacked in McCain's favor at the start of the forum because of republican's stranglehold on religion. I think Obama did a good job considering the circumstances. A sizeable group of people still think he is Muslim, he wanted to show everyone there is no basis for that rumor.

Ha HA!!
No wonder Obama will not join McCain in town hall debates. Obama got it handed to him. He looked like a blathering fool. It is a problem when you need to think that hard about what your own beliefs are.

I hate that religion is part of our presidential election. They should not be able to tell what denomination they are. Let the people vote one way or the other based on the facts and issues not on if they have been saved or not.

I think John McCain changes his campaign words too much – I think he panders to whomever he's speaking to at the time.
I have very serious doubts that he is a true bonafied Christian man…if he were a true Christian he would stop all the lies in his campaign about Senator Obama.
Christians are listening and watching him closely – and they're noticing the lies and misrepresentations McCain is waging against Obama.
McCain lost my family's votes because of his campaign lies.

I remember on one occasion a presidential candidate was asked who is the greatest philosopher he’s ever known is and his answer was Jesus. Oh wait that turns out to be the current POTUS and look where he gotten us to. Nuff said.

Why didn't John McCain be honest and say that he cheated on his poor first wife with his current wife…Talk about moriality…Give me a break!

I do not think he is finding his way, HE HAS ALWAYS HAD HIS FAITH, but now he is opening up his faith to others. He like alot of people include Evangelicals keep their faith to themselves and the ones they know. Remember when the fight ing starts in War, there are no atheist! As a POW a superior being was looking out for him and his fellow POW's. I know I would be relying on my faith to get me through the Hell he was put in by Jane Fonda's friends.

During a republican debate ,John McBush raised his hand when asked if he believed in evolution.As a born again Christian I do not , how about all of you. OBAMA 08
Connie from Indiana

Well Well Well John McCain a wolf in sheeps clothing! The only faith I have in McSame is his Alzhimers, he's due for remission this WEEK!

Obama 08

wow you Obamanites are such poor losers… sour grapes anyone?

Obama go beat, hes very poor at thinking on his feet, and reads teleprompters before a speach deal with it ObamaBots your candidate is a joke.

Obama will lose the general election if he debates with John McCain. John McCain is very good at debates. He answers questions quick and to the point. Thats how he was able to come from behind and beat his rivals in the primaries. Saturday night’s forum was just a small example of whats to come. Obama got whipped really bad by John McCain at Saturday nights forum.

Everyone is shocked that McCain can put two sentences together, so despite the fact that his answers were terrible and ofter not related to the question, the media and all the sheep say he was a big winner.

Sounds like Dubya: convince the people you are a moron (not too difficult), show up on TV and don't drool, win the election.

Roseanne Barr says "McCain looks like a fetus and Cindy Lou looks like King Tut". I can stop laughing.

If he would follow OBL to the gates of hell…What does that say about him?

You just don't slide into heaven by saying you're a believer – at the last minute. You have to believe with your heart. It's the same deal as George Bush's promise to Evangelicals to overturn Roe vs Wade, in order to further perpetrate the neo-con agenda. Sorry, this Republican doesn't like it or buy it.

What, are we back in the middle ages when everyone had to be questioned and affirmed–or be burnt as witches and heretics? McCain was right the first time he spoke–religion is between a person and their god–but he's apparently seen the light and realized that you have to conform to the irrational expectations of the true believers, even if on the inside you are saying BS to all this. Too bad. Maybe some day we'll have a non-believer able to be president.

To survive what he survived in Viet Nam and emerge a whole person- McCain already had oodles of faith.

You can not prove such a thing… it is part of your fiber.

Thou shalt not commit adultery …

Can McCain really be religious if he cheated on his first wife?

Mc Same pandered to the intended audience who will probably would have voted for him anyway. I could care less who knows god or not…there are way more important issues facing our country than this stuff!

Th only things McCain has faith in are dirty political tricks and dirty campaign money. I'm sorry to feel this way because I am retired military, but McCain seems to have sold his soul in order to be elected president. Nothing is worth losing your soul and humanity, but GOP presidential candidates do it over and over.

McCain seems to be running his campaign on being a prisoner of war. My uncle was a prisoner of war and he wouldn't talk about the subject at all. I actually wasn't impressed with McCain at the forum and his answers were too pat.

Everybody basically believes in something other than themselves. Faith is not going to resolve what the nation is facing today; it may give one the opportunity according to thier beliefs, but in most instances faith is an absentee landdlord……someone is going to have to resolve it for themselves and the country.

Wow way to alienate all of us Jewish voters. Discouraged by how much we've brought faith into the general elections. People will do anything to get elected, including cheapen their beliefs and value systems. Division of church and state should be division of faith and politics. These people are making it virtually impossible for someone who isn't a self confessed Christian to ever run.

mccain is a very angry old man and his faith is in war and he has no
judgement and care nothing about the the people of this country.
He is a very scary looking person and he lies a whole look just look
at the expression on his face when he speaks down to you.

I watched the forum without bias. The forum was totally geared to McCain and I think, he knew the questions beforehand. he has never been so quick to answer any questions before. It was a set-up for Obama, just like the debate with George Stphanolopus at ABC.

McCain's war attitude and experience totally overshadows his political and faith views. As far as the Economy issues and Health Care and Taxes goes, he can only think and relate in terms of war and his sacrifices as a prisoner of war. Unfortunately, he has no solid plans on how to create jobs or improve our standard of living.
His image in the world is, he's a war monger.
Therefore, I know he would be the wrong choice for President.

Stop with the forcing people to prove their faith.

GOD KNOWS… human judgement is irrelevant…

Obama can fool people better than McCain can- that proves nothing of character, substance, faith or valor.

I thought Obama did very well. McCain seemed kind of rehearesd to me, and for ALL the analyst to say they have heard the story of what happened during his time as a POW, and to have added, we were just two christians wroshipping together was kind of cheesey to me.

I counted 15 times McCain said "my friends" in the 40 minutes he took to answer an hour's worth of questions.

Seriously, does the "my friends" thing work with anyone? Shouldn't he stop saying it? Don't they know how phony and old-fashioned it sounds?

He sounds like a used-car salesman, trying to put one over on an unsuspecting sucker. Hmmm…

When will there be a "forum" that's tailored to Sen Obama? It will be so sweet come November when Hills,Bills and Johns are long gone!

Amen

I seriously doubt it!

SURE IT IS. THIS IS AN ELECTION YEAR. HAVE AMERICANS LEARNED NOTHING FROM BUSH'S SAY WHATEVER THEY WANNA HEAR TACTICS.

LOL AND WHAT IS FUNNY IS THAT MANY AMERICANS ARE STILL FALLING FOR THE DUMBEST TRICK AROUND!!!

well if he's saved and forgiven, that's all that matters.

I agree, Warren didn't even know that McCain WAS NOT in the building yet. After all the gaffs that McCain has had recently he seemed too prepared for those questions at the forum. The forum was filled with the GOP and that is why Obama didn't agree on these fake town hall meetings with McCain. They would have all been biased out the gate.

IF MCCAIN WAS A TRUE BELIEVER. . .HE NEVER COULD HAVE BEHAVED IN THE MANNER OF (1) DIVORCING HIS WIFE CAROL, WHILE SHE IS CRIPPLED (2) MCCAIN WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN A PART OF "SAVINGS AND LOAN" (RIPPING OFF SENIOR CITIZENS-MANY OF THEM COMMITTED SUCIDE). . .

NOT TO JUDGE HIM, BUT JOHN MCCAIN'S FAITH IS IN QUESTION!

PERSONALLY, I FEAR SOMEONE, WHOM HAS THIS IN HIS CHARACTER!

No one should force their religion on anyone…

McCain handles himself very well, he doesn't need to talk about his faith. The man has been through alot in his life and he has stated before his faith in God played a huge part in him making it through.

This man is ready to lead this country… Unlike the Obama who has no experience and bases his views on polls not America.

AMERICA 4 McCain!!!

You don't have to or NEED to talk on an on about your faith to be a person of faith.

Quite the OPPOSITE illusion.

Let's fill that same room with college students from UCLA and see how McCain does. He wouldn't even show up.

Obama's tactics and lies tell me that his faith is a strange faith… maybe more for show than for real?

Just like every other carefully orchestrated Obama show moment?

Obama is a master manipulator- charismatic leader, if you prefer.

He inspires vitriol and intra-party hate and inflames racial tensions.

Pretending to unite and be for hope and change.

I don't care how many years he attended Rev. Wright's Church.

He still falls short on humility and sincere faith.

the funny thing is that people say that obama stutters and all that but when you are held to a different standard then your counterpart you have to think about and choose your words carefully or else they will be miscontrued to mean something else….someone tell me why when mccain says something wrong or politically incorrect it is not made a big deal???

What happened to the whole 'agents of intolerance' thing? Why are we not separating the church from the state? Shouldn't we separate the church from the government?

Anyone that has recieved the Lord Jesus as their Saviour, when asked about it, would never deny doing so. They would also never beat around the bush with their answer. Jesus said "anyone that denies Him before man, He will deny before our Father in heaven". It seems to me that Sen. McCain has realized what the people want to hear. I guess if that's what he has to do to try and win the election, so be it. Unfortunately John you don't realize tat God the Father can truly see into your heart.

As Christians, we should always ask: What would Jesus do? Well, Jesus was a peacemaker, not a saber-rattler. Nobody can speak for Jesus, of course, but a "man of faith" should be a little more willing to try to avoid war than to bully, threaten and be willing to attack at a moment's notice when that isn't ABSOLUTELY necessary.
I think McCain fails to fulfill the tenets of his faith.

McCain is a follower not a leader. He is not getting better at anything. McCain heard all the questions on saturday night before he was to speak with Pastor Rick Warren… When asked by CNN if McMain was in the building while Obama was on stage Rick stated yes…. According to CNN McCain was NOT in the building. So McCain had an edge on Obama because he knew what the questions was before Rick asked them.

McCain and the GOP are cheats!!!!!!

Mc

I think that true Christians already know the answer about McCain's faith. He and the GOP use religion and faith to get the only thing that they care about (besides money) in this world: POWER. You know that it's true. So, if you like getting used, go vote for McCain. The evangelicals felt burned by Bush after they helped him secure the presidency and it will be no different under McCain. Please, if you voted for Bush, prove that you can learn a lesson. Try to understand that, while religion is important, America faces challenges that McCain cannot solve. Vote for Obama.

He didn't find his way, he found a way to pander to the zealots who rule his party. The odds were clearly stacked for him so all he had ot do was to give them the usual buzz words and talking points and the lemmings would go wild

The fix was in on this "debate". But of course these "real" Christians would rather believe someone who tells them what they want to hear than someone who speaks from his heart and who is undeniably a Christian!

If this forum had been a game show, and the second contestant was able to hear the answers of the first, would you call it cheating? How much more so when the Presidency is at stake! If I were one of the evangelicals in the audience that night, cheering the obviously rehearsed (look at his tone and cadence) answers, I would feel infinitely cheated.

Finding his way to a liar's pulpit, certainly. Are you one of the McCain faithful who choose to believe him when he says he didn't hear the questions ahead of time? Then go watch the video again, specifically the question on education. Warren did not even get the question out of his mouth (which was a 3-part question to Obama followed by "what do we do then") – DID NOT EVEN ASK IT YET – and McCain cut him off and responded "Yes, yes, yes, and find the bad teachers a new line of work".

So, McSame supporters – explain how McCain did not LIE to everyone, proclaiming he didn't hear the questions ahead of time. The old timer cannot keep up with Obama, so he lies, lies, lies, lies. He's the McSame as Bush and company – a disaster in waiting.

Also, Warren asked Obama the question about something the American people wouldn't want to hear, forcing him to deliver "bad news."

He asked McCain no such question.

Also, McCain nearly forgot Justice Stevens' name. Well, he's only been on the Court for 34 years (appointed by a Republican, btw).

This whole thing was a farce, putting Obama in a no-win situation, even though he did quite well, all things considered.

Would McCain agree to a similar format in front of the ACLU?

He found his faith in that prison story when it was convenient. That's why he divorced his wife shortly thereafter upon release from prison. A Christian msut be humble and I saw no sign of humility in any of McCain's responses. I know of no Cristian that will follow someone (OBL) to the gates of hell, unless, perhaps, you are pandering to the right for votes as McCain. And I am a Christian, too.

Whatever McSame..All you talk is surface talk. You don't know how to dig deeper unless someone is pulling your strings like a puppet. Your whole performance at that forum was of a master puppet. Obama oozes of authenticity..I can't believe that people can't see that..oh, could it be that they don't know how to identify with someone who is authentic..they can't believe that someone of that caliber could possibly be running for president?

Why are we not hearing more about this "cone of silence"….CNN you above all the other broadcasted shows should be questioning this….Duh XM SATELLITE RADIO, you mean to say his motorcade does not have this? He would not need a TV to see the show. I listen to CNN Live all the time in the car.

The tripe that Obama's campaign sent out about McCain hearing the questions and rehearsing his answers reminds me of when they called Bill and Hillary Clinton racists.

Getting nervous, are we?

Mark VA August 18th, 2008 12:24 pm ET

Faith is great and shows a sound moral foundation. I heard substance in McCain's conversation. I only heard uhms and uuh from Obama.
———————————————-
Because that's all you chose to hear.

A man with deep religious beliefs and values wouldn't have cheated on his disabled wife and left her for an empty-headed, rich bimbo.

McCain is the only republican who can win this year… when no democrat can fail.

Obama is the only Democrat who can lose this year… when no republican can win.

Which party chose better? Oh… one party voted…and one party selected.

Which side is God on? Earn votes or threaten and steal them?

Riddle it out all you wise, educated worshippers of Obama.

John McCain may be forgiven, but it is evident he has not accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord or Savior, or he would have said so. Makes me wonder if he accepts Jesus as the Son of God and believes in the resurection of Christ?? Sort of makes you ponder a little on this matter. He has always backed away from faith issues, is ashamed or just does not believe. He needs to explain himself more.

THE 18,000,000 +All of the disenfranchised,desert wanderers,and castaways will lead McCain out of the desert ,and unto "Mt Sinai", where he will find his strength! Have no fear of that! And like Clinton, McCain will be able to accomplish much more,with much less,because the "Lord" will multiply his "fishes",of the sea…..and the DNC will tremble under-foot. …..McCain will look around and ask,where did these,my children,come from…………….and the reply will be"They were snatched from jaws of a Hellish beast, and were made the fruit of your works."

Well i have been around for 70 years and know good from bad and the democrat's get the bad badge for there stand on abortion. i would not want to be a child of there's and have to live with there ahame.

What about McCain's admitted ability to hear the questions, and Obama's answers, in advance? How about the way he answered some of the questions before they were even asked? Sure, Mccain's campaign said he wasn't listening. Yeah, right. If you believe that, read the transcript. Is it part of "faith" to cheat, then lie about it?

I am Christian but not an evangelical, and will not base my vote on abortion or gay marriage. I'm basing my vote on the actual values and moral judgment of the candidates as it relates to the Presidency. I don't agree 100% with Obama, but I see a habitual liar and cheater in McCain I never expected to see. Sad, very sad.

who cares

The candidate of faith and change is Obama and Obama.

McCain is a fake. He is the failed republican failed policies for 8 precious years being wasted.

Time for a chnage in a new direction.

Our faith is on Obama.

Obama 08/12.

I think Mccain found his way to listening to the questions before he got to the "cone of silence" 1/2 hour after the event began.

I believe only what Rush Limbaugh tells me to believe because I cant think for myself.Rush told me to believe everything John says.

Those who wear their faith on their sleeves are generally those who think they are better than others.

So give me the quiet, subtle, private worshipper ANY day to the loud mouths who proclaim themselves gifts from God.

MCCAIN IS A LIAR. HE CHEATED ON HIS 1ST WIFE MULTIPLE TIMES THERE WAS NO "BREAKDOWN IN THE MARRIAGE" HE CHEATED NUMBEROUS TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CHEATER CHEATER WAR LOVING CHEATER CHEATER

Here we go again with the vast right wing conspiracy claims. McCain didn't hear the questions ahead of time. We had a chance to see Obama and Mccain get asked the same questions. McCain gave direct answers, and Obama waffled all over the place. Obama struck out, and McCain hit a home run. McCain will crush Obama in the debates. Why do you never see Obama answering questions from average voters? Because without a telepromptor, he's a deer in the headlights.

John McCain talks more about his military faith than his religious faith. Which God does he serve, you can never talk too much about your faith in God. If you deny him once he'll deny him twice.

I thought Obama stuck to the rules and the format. Very faith and religous based answers as was the goal. McCain had his finger on the trigger and ready to go with each question. No thoughtfulness at all. And if I head one POW story I heard one to many!! Give it a rest!

I am a born again Christian…and guess what I am voting for OBAMA

once again the crazies can't accept that obama was JUST. NOT. AS. GOOD.

jsut keep lying to yourself that McCain cheated but don't be too shocked in November when obama loses. Maybe he can run for leader of UN. . .seems more his speed

"I also believe that talking too much about one's faith and religion, in my view, is something between me and God," McCain said.
————————————————-

Bravo McCain … I respect that answer. Obama got owned Saturday night. It's been a long time since I've been that uncomfortable listening to a Q and A … not because I didn't like what was being said but because it was so uncomfortable to watch a candidate stumble and bumble as much as he did. I look forward to the debates. It's obvious why Obama refused to debate McCain more than the 3 standard times.

Obama? No thank you.

CNN, let's take a look at some honesty. Rick Warren told us that Senator McCain was in a cone of silence as Senator Obama's portion began. This was not an accurate depiction–Senator McCain was in a car on his way to the church. When asked about the cone of silence, Senator McCain made a joke instead of telling us he was in a car. This whole story is falling apart. This was the first and last time I listen to Mr. Warren, as he has a problem speaking the truth. Can CNN do a little journalism and get to the bottom of this? And I don't mean you should give Senator McCain the benefit of the doubt–actually investigate.

"I also believe that talking too much about one's faith and religion, in my view, is something between me and God,"

Does the "religious right" even know what it means to be a Evangelical Christian? If they did they would not applaud this response. We're suppose to spread (evangelize) the good news, not keep it to ourselves, that's why Jesus was sent to Earth in the first place! If you don't want to answer such questions, do not participate in that kind of event!

Faith is great and shows a sound moral foundation. I heard substance in McCain's conversation. I only heard uhms and uuh from Obama.

He certainly is. McCain – Yes He Can!

He also chealted on his first wife and dumped her and kids….he goot a narraige lisence before he was even divorced – THOSE ARE FACTS

John Mccain : Its time to retire, live a good life with your million dollar princess (who id marry in a heartbeat and im only 23). You have a good life, dont screw up other peoples life by bad judgements you could possibly make and not remember a day after making them.

This message has been approved by Billion

…I hear the sounds of a Pander bear. Now where can that Pander bear be?

McCain has LIED over and over and lied about no hearing Obama's qustions, LIED about the cross story he took from a book….He lied about Abba, lied about The Pittsurgh story and plagerized his Georgia policy…..the man is a LIAR, if he is not then he has the beginning of dementia or Altz diseasae

I think McCain always had faith, but the forum really brought out what his thoughts are. McCain did an excellent job Sat. night and really related his experiences with the crowd. Obama stuttered through the whole thing and looked like he would rather have been back on vacation.

Same old guy running dirty ads and clearly lying about his opponent, can not keep his words on to run an honorable campaing getting cheers because he said will be a pro- life canadidate..

I suppose christainity has boiled down to abortion and gay marriages? While war after war, killing innocent victims of war does not matter to christains.. or is it envagelicals…

McCain was playing up to the crowd with his answers. Anyone who cheats on his wife does not have Christian values in the true sense of the word, no matter how many times they have been saved. If he is so for life as he claims why is he so anxious to get into wars, his patriotism is over done, if he loves his country and wants to honor it so much why sacrifice the lives of the young men and women who he saved when in the womb, doesn;t make sense to me. He should be more concerned on preventing wars that going to wars.

McCain is saying what he thinks his base wants him to say. The guy is no more religious or remorseful than anyone else.

Remember, McCain committed adultery during his first marriage, which the biased press often forgets. He has been caught in numerous lies and shady dealings, but you can bet he has the spin doctors working overtime to make sure they can hide as much as possible from the public.

VOTE DEMOCRAT!

Jimmy Carter?

Or perhaps Obama's president is FDR.. FDR had those socialist tendencies so I could see Obama having supported everything FDR did

John mccain cant find his way to the iraq afghanistan border!!!!!!!!!!! Any way he lied and cheated on the forum not everyone is idiots!!!!!!!!!!!!

I for one have no idea why this warren fellow did this. Who is he to think he can step in and ask these questions of the canadate's. He is a pastor of a large church, that's it. what a joke he is.

I thought Mccain covered up his answers with all those stories about his military deal. I'am so tired of hearing about his vietnam expierence, until it's ashame. How in the world could Candy of CNN say mc old timer did such a great job, is she tripping? Look at the whole picture woman. i get so tired of people like you and david gergen making your little negative remarks, mccain was not all that. It's obvious you idiots fell for all those vietnam stories, patheic.

This was suppose to be a forum to find out about our canadates personally not to keep reliving mccains captivity, give me a break.

Obama has a good heart and you can see that from his answers, that old gray haired dude is just like bush and you could see that from his demeanor on this forum.

Oh no, he is only pandering. Look at his past marriage fiasco. I did not see him as remorseful for his "moral failing." Panamanian McCain is like all the other Repubilicans: deceitful.

Too much emphasis on religion of late. We're still a Christian nation and as long as both candidates are Christian that's all that should matter. One's committment to Jesus Christ ia a personal one and shouldn't be open for comment. debate, or examination. Let's get on with the issues of man's creation; politics and the governing of a nation.

What happened to the concept of separation of church and state that our Founding Fathers based our political system on? John McCain's faith (or lack of it) should not be a topic for discussion in his run for President.

The Republicans have lost themselves as they've pandered to the religious right. By doing that, they have lost the votes of large swaths of Americans who have strong faith, but do not believe it has a place in government. To win in November, the Republicans MUST become more centrist. There are far more moderate people in this country than knee-jerk religious zealots.

Weird how he did so well, as if he may have heard some of the questions before hand.

He's now a cheat and a liar!

MCCAIN AND RICK DAVIS IS TRYING TO BULLY THE MEDIA (NBC) BECAUSE EVERYONE KNOWS HE CHEATED AND ANDREA MITCHELL CALLED HIM OUT. HOW DO YOU ANSWER QUESTIONS BEFORE THEY ARE ASKED?

MCCHEAT IS A CHEATING, LYING, PANDERING OLD BULLY WHO WILL LOSE THIS ELECTION BECAUSE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE NOT FOOLED.

A man's beliefs are between him and God. No one should question this unless it is know that one sits in a congregation where his pastor called Uncle stands up in front of the podium and blasphemes God and America to the world. THEN I QUESTION THAT WHOLLY>

Now who is not going to admit to having a religion when running for President ??? I thought he answered questions on Saturday evening as if he had a preview or coached. I have had the opportunity to listen to McCain quite a few times in the last several monts…and…Never has he been so fluid and prepared as on Saturday evening. Almost a NEW john McCain..very odd.

Ahhhhh….who coached him before he walked out. Bless this old mans heart, he tried to play on faith but we all know that John McCain is not a religious nut like he wants people to think he is…..thanks to Mitt Romney for telling the world that. Well he looked tired and old, I mean when you look at John McCain up close he really looks like an old man in a retirement home.He offers nothing new, he still plans to spend 10 billion plus in Iraq. So my question to all these faith nuts and blue collar white people who do not possess degrees/ If we continue to spend 10 billion a month in Iraq, then how to we better the economy and improve roads, schools…how.

Off shore drilling will not bring down the prices of gas no time soon, Its pandering, I'm people think, do you know how long it takes to develop it into gas usage. It will take years to do and if you start drilling it will not happen next year anyway. Come one people are we that dumb…………well then again, this country elected George Bush………..

Congrats to McCain for shoreing up the evangelical vote…. as if it was ever in doubt.

Instead, as an independant voter I find myself less inclined to vote for McCain – he simply reminds me of how Bush would have answered those very questions.

It was a very pro-evangelical-Bush-Like moment.

Re: Rick Warren's questioning of Obama and McCain: I thought the whole idea of holding this "evangelical inquisition" was bizarre. When Warren asked each about their relationship with Jesus…are you kidding me! What does that have to do with being the President of this country?

Rick Warren clearly LIED about McCanins whereabout during the forum with Obama and he Clearly heared the questions before hand and the Old man got ready and rehearsed his answers. We all knew it-McCain gave it away even before Warren admitted it.

I watch the faith forum. I thought Obama answered the question well and display his faith well. He even quoted scripture.

On McCain’s part, He seem to repeat, Obama’s answer with a twist and throw in a joke. Every question he answers always ended in a war story.

I was disappointed in Rick Warren for telling Obama no stump speech, but allowed McCain to campaign through his whole hour.

I felt like McCain war story with the soldier, was reminisce too the snipers story. Can we get a verification on this story?

How can McCain claim to have faith and be saved and it’s reported by media he has not been baptize yet?

McCain statement on following OBL to hell. I’m a Christian and am not following anybody too the gates of hell !

Way to press a candidate on the issues, South Carolina! That question should have led McCain into a promise to make sure everyone in America, even the South, gets at least a 4th grade education.

That's a personal issue, not to mention a violation of the separation of church and state. Pull your heads out and think a little, will you? Why must you always use Jesus as the poster child for ignorance?

You can't talk about someone you don't know.

Rick Warren is still trying to make himself relevant, which he is not. He can not tell me who to vote for. Rick’s whole body language changed when he was “interviewing Barack”. This was not fair and balanced. But I don’t blame Rick; I blame Barack for showing up in such a lopsided venue.

The picture speaks for itself. Instead of highlighting the candidates, Rick's highlighting himself, by putting himself in the middle of things.

I'm not voting for John McCain because he's Rick Warren's boy.

O/08

I'm sorry but CNN is way too in love with McCain. It's really sickening. Last night the ticker was 90% about McCain and how wonderful he was and is. PLEASE BE UNBIASED. All I see here is negativity toward Obama and nothing negative about McCain. I'm so over this campaign, I want November to come and go. If McCain wins people will realize that it was a mistake, the PUMAs and repubs alike. This will because people are sore losers, racists and just generally hate Obama and actually care about his positions. People are so backwards this election year, it's crazy.

McCaint couldn't even say Jesus.

He's a hypocrit that had to pander to a crowd of Jesus-loving Christians.

Obama '08

McCain to chase down Osama bin Ladin to the gates of Hell? Political statement or faith statement? You christain ask yourself. What know stuff did you get to know about McCain, or he just came to pander to you…

I am more concerned whether a canidate can be President to the entire population of the United States, not just the christian portion.

Since no comments are being taken on

McCain did not violate 'cone of silence'

I would like to say that I watched both of them speak, my question is if Senator McCain did not hear any of the questions WHY did he a number of times say when are we going to get to the question about the judges, etc. that does not sound like someone did not know what to expect. Listen to his hour and then answer get the answr for your self.
Also why would he be 1/2 hr late to arrive when he was suppose to be in the cone of silence? Sorry preacher you lost me faith in your annoucement at the start when you said that Senator McCain was in the cone of silence when he was not. That is a lie.

More like faking his way on faith.

I am a federalist republican and in all honesty, I dont care about the religion of the candidates. I am NOT a man of faith so don't let it sway me. I am also enlightened enough to realize that this country, no matter how you argue it, was built upon christianity and populated by christians so you cannot argue that it WILL play a role in decisions made.

McCain's faith is not thrown around lightly and he doesnt base his campaign on it – that's why he appeals to non-socially conservative republican voters such as myself

Right, McCain is "saved & forgiven" when the bulk of the crowd
will cheer for him saying so. The cards were stacked in favor
of such a comment, so, McCain delivered it.

Take notice, though – McCain won't talk about his faith while
on the campaign trail. But, when in Orange County, in an
Evangelical Christian Mega Church, of course he's going to
play to the crowd.

Even CNN's John King commented on how McCain added
extra elements to his stories to play to the Christian crowd.

McCain is a Pander Bear.

I do not respect an adulterer. How can I trust McCain as president of our country

The Bible says you will know them by their actions. McCain lied about the debate and not knowing the questions ahead of time. He answered the questions before Pastor Warren asked them. But cheating and finding out the questions would be what a warmonger would do. Sneak up on your enemy and do whatever it takes todefeat them.

What really happened to Cindy's arm? McCain says that life begins with conception. But discards his first wife for youth and money.

McCain is a disgrace.

Somebody should have shown Senator McCain how to find his way to Saddleback Church this past Saturday………SO HE WOULDN'T BE LATE for the Faith Forum.

"Cone of Silence"………..hmmmmm

Obama says "Bush is McCain`s president"! Who exactly is his president?

I'm a Christian and I'm looking forward to voting for

OBAMA

the candidate for CHANGE

I honestly don't believe a word of John McCain is saying……that Georgian President was looking for John to send US troop or something to help them and John boy turned the other way because he has no authority to give orders like I describe. He had no intentions on help his so called Georgian President friend it all a lie.

John McCain can't straight talk his way out of a paper bag.

Come on. This is the guy that took this forum so seriously that although it had been set weeks beforehand, and he knew part of the program was being sequestered during Senator Obama's questioning, he couldn't be bothered to arrive on time.

The real McCain was not speaking at the forum but a prompted, scripted version. He had 1/2 an hour to hear the program and listen to the comments. Who out there believes that McCain could actually remember the names of all four liberal-leaning judges on the Supreme Court off the top of his head? Give me a break. What a sham.

When Rick Warren said that McCain was in a “Cone of silence” why did McCain say jokingly, he “was trying to hear thru the walls” when he wasn’t even in the “Cone of Silence”? He wasn’t even in the building! Why didn’t McCain say the truth that he was in his motorcade? Nice start to a “faith forum”!!!

By the way, the link between McCain (he was one of the worst students at the academy) and the “Cone of Silence” is funny. That’s how McCain’s Republicans have been running the White House. Just like the top secret organization in the “Get Smart” show!

Makes sense to me that he responded the way he did. The position of president IS indeed more about having military service than it is about your religious beliefs. He has said he's Christian which means, yes he has accepted Christ as his lord and saviour so I fail to see why the question was asked in the first place.

For the Record:

Obama did NOT have any voters at that Forum. So I think anybody who changed his or her mind to vote for him is icing on the cake. The audience and the format were FIXED. As we know John McCain heard the questions on his way to the church. There was no "cone of silence" as the pastor said. The cone of silence was the fact that the house was stacked with the GOP.

So all in all, Barack did well. He held his own and I'm proud of him.

Obama 08

He's in a tunnel. So he's finding his way any which way. If faith is the way for him to get out of the tunnel, then that's the direction he'll go. I personally, am not buying it.

He talked so much about his respect for his men, and the guard who put the cross in the sand, etc. But what did he do when he returned home–ditched his wife and kids, for an affair with Cindy Lou.

Obama is my choice and he will be our next president.

O/08

No, he did not find his way, he just got a little better at playing the game of "make believe." The PHONY is always easy to spot in a room. His name is John McCain.

Maybe he's finding his way because he's cheating at faith forums by listening to the questions beforehand and because he's stealing stories about "crosses in the sand" from Russian authors. McCain eventually "finds his way" with every group, because he lies, panders, and changes his positions.

CNN: We're more interested in policy issues. We want to know when

the Congress can be rounded up to vote on the drill here drill now vote.

We're more interested in multi level multi view analysis of proposed

economic policies. We want more balanced reporting. We want to have

a deeper examination of the candidates in terms of foreign policy. Is

Georgia a sign of things to come ? What's the situation with Iranian

nuclear ambitions ? Why the silence of the surge success in Iraq ?

Just pandering…. During the faith forum, I learned nothing new of McCain's faith and how it intertwines with his politics. I heard the same heart tugging POW stories and stump speech after stump speech.

McCain cheated on that silly forum Saturday. What does that tell you about his faith. He made the Reverund look silly. Here he is saying McCain's in a closed booth and the man hadn't even left his hotel yet. So he is sitting there listening to the questions. What does that tell you about his character. And he used a scene from a Ben Hur movie describing an experience in a POW camp. He is a low sick and deceitful man.

Leave faith out of politics!
The people are watching, and they are not fooled by this type of hype.
The great George Carlin once said, "Thou shall keep thy religion to thyselves."

Over 200 years, our presidents have accumulated 5 trillion in Debt, since clinton left, Bush alone has almost doubled it, within 8 years, it's at 9 and a half trillion, and you want 4 more years of the same Bush policies and tax system, you blind sheep are gonna destroy this country if Mccain were to win.

The rest of you republicans go ahead and keep filling your heads with BS from Hannity and Limbaugh like the good little ignorant sheep that you are.

Was the crowd listening or waiting to cheer?

I am a registered Republican and for the first time in 42 years of voting, I will be casting for my vote for a Democrat President. I support Barack Obama and I am ashamed of the dirty tricks of the GOP. My father would be spinning in his grave if he knew where his once great party is heading.

McCain’s REAL names:

McBush – He vows to continue Bush’s failed policies
McWar – He wants to keep the Iraq war for 100 years
McFear – His goal is to make you afraid of Obama, so that you vote for him
McSurge – He never talks for a minute without talking about the SURGE
McDrill – He is calling for a surge in Drilling to solve energy crisis
McOil – So far, the Oil company executives have given him more than $2 million
McOld – He is very OLD
McShame – He divorced his first wife — to marry a younger, richer and sexier woman
McSame – He has voted over 95% for Bush (Bush = McCain)
McThird – He is running for Bush’s third term in office
McRich – He is worth over $100 million, and wants big tax cuts for ONLY-THE-RICH
McLies – He supports the GOP Book about Obama that contains more a thousand lies
McRove – He plays the dirty Karl Rove politics
McBomb –his foreign policy song is: bomb !, bomb !, bomb !, bomb !….

ABBREVIATIONS AND FOOLS:
GOP = Grand Old Pharisees (or you can argue it is rather- Great Oil Party)
FOX = For Obama’s eXecution (is it FOX noise or FIX news?)
Far Right lunatics = Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Bill Oreilly
Far Left fools = John Edwards, Kwame Kilpatrick
Independent fool = Lou Dobbs
Neoconservatives = Rev. James Dobson, George Bush, John McCain.

For your own good: don’t be fooled by foxnews or any of the people above.
