McCAIN Is this the great "Christian" candidate everyone thinks is so wonderful? Really? Do you really want this guy to be your president? THIS IS A GUY SO LOST IN HIS PERSONAL, GROSS DISPLAY OF WEALTH THAT HE OWNS NO LESS THAN SEVEN HOUSES! NO, NOT FOUR AS TOLD BY HIS STAFF BUT SEVEN! HE'S SO COMPLETELY OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE AVERAGE AMERICAN THAT HE ACTUALLY THINKS WE HAVE A STRONG ECONOMY... YEAH, I GUESS SO... IF YOU'RE A MULTI-MILLIONARE WHO'S TOTALLY UNAFFECTED BY THE ECONOMY. APPARENTLY ALL THAT MONEY STILL DOESN'T BUY MUCH HAPPINESS- AS YOU CAN SEE McCAIN ALSO HAS A BIG PROBLEM WITH TEMPER TANTRUMS AND AN EXTEMELY FOUL MOUTH. ONCE YOU READ THIS YOU MIGHT WANT TO THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO VOTE FOR McCAIN. THE MCCAIN WAY- FOUL MOUTHED ATTACK ON REPUBLICANS A Top 10 List… 1) Defending His Amnesty Bill, Sen. McCain Lost His Temper And “Screamed, ‘F*ck You!’ At Texas Sen. John Cornyn” (R-TX). “Presidential hopeful John McCain - who has been dogged for years by questions about his volcanic temper - erupted in an angry, profanity-laced tirade at a fellow Republican senator, sources told The Post yesterday. In a heated dispute over immigration-law overhaul, McCain screamed, ‘F– you!’ at Texas Sen. John Cornyn, who had been raising concerns about the legislation. ‘This is chickens–stuff,’ McCain snapped at Cornyn, according to several people in the room off the Senate floor Thursday. ‘You’ve always been against this bill, and you’re just trying to derail it.’” (Charles Hurt, “Raising McCain,” New York Post, 5/19/07) 2) In 2000, Sen. McCain Ran An Attack Ad Comparing Then-Gov. George W. Bush To Bill Clinton. SEN. MCCAIN: “I guess it was bound to happen. Governor Bush’s campaign is getting desperate, with a negative ad about me. The fact is, I’ll use the surplus MONEY to fix Social Security, cut your taxes and pay down the debt. Governor Bush uses all of the surplus for tax cuts, with not one new penny for Social Security or the debt. His ad twists the truth like Clinton. We’re all pretty tired of that. As president, I’ll be conservative and always tell you the truth. No matter what.” (McCain 2000, Campaign Ad, 2/9/00) 3) Sen. McCain Repeatedly Called Sen. Pete Domenici (R-NM) An “A**hole”, Causing A Fellow GOP Senator To Say, “I Didn’t Want This Guy Anywhere Near A Trigger.” “Why can’t McCain win the votes of his own colleagues? To explain, a Republican senator tells this story: at a GOP meeting last fall, McCain erupted out of the blue at the respected Budget Committee chairman, Pete Domenici, saying, ‘Only an a‒hole would put together a budget like this.’ Offended, Domenici stood up and gave a dignified, restrained speech about how in all his years in the Senate, through many heated debates, no one had ever called him that. Another senator might have taken the moment to check his temper. But McCain went on: ‘I wouldn’t call you an a‒hole unless you really were an a‒hole.’ The Republican senator witnessing the scene had considered supporting McCain for president, but changed his mind. ‘I decided,’ the senator told Newsweek, ‘I didn’t want this guy anywhere near a trigger.’” (Evan Thomas, et al., “Senator Hothead,” Newsweek, 2/21/00) 4) Sen. McCain Had A Heated Exchange With Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA) And Called Him A “F*cking Jerk.” “Senators are not used to having their intelligence or integrity challenged by another senator. ‘Are you calling me stupid?’ Sen. Chuck Grassley once inquired during a debate with McCain over the fate of the Vietnam MIAs, according to a source who was present. ‘No,’ replied McCain, ‘I’m calling you a f–ing jerk!’ (Grassley and McCain had no comment.)” (Evan Thomas, et al., “Senator Hothead,” Newsweek, 2/21/00) 5) In 1995, Sen. McCain Had A “Scuffle” With 92-Year-Old Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-SC) On The Senate Floor. “In January 1995, McCain was midway through an opening statement at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing when chairman Strom Thurmond asked, ‘Is the senator about through?’ McCain glared at Thurmond, thanked him for his ‘courtesy’ (translation: buzz off), and continued on. McCain later confronted Thurmond on the Senate floor. A scuffle ensued, and the two didn’t part friends.” (Harry Jaffe, “Senator Hothead,” The Washingtonian, 2/97) 6) Sen. McCain Accused Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) Of The “Most Egregious Incident” Of Corruption He Had Seen In The Senate. “It escalated when McCain reiterated the charges Oct. 10 in a cross-examination, calling McConnell’s actions the ‘most egregious incident’ demonstrating the appearance of corruption he has ever seen in his Senate career.” (Amy Keller, “Attacks Escalate In Depositions,” Roll Call, 10/21/02) 7) Sen. McCain Attacked Christian Leaders And Republicans In A Blistering Speech During The 2000 Campaign. MCCAIN: “Unfortunately, Governor Bush is a Pat Robertson Republican who will lose to Al Gore. … The political tactics of division and slander are not our values… They are corrupting influences on religion and politics, and those who practice them in the name of religion or in the name of the Republican Party or in the name of America shame our faith, our party and our country. Neither party should be defined by pandering to the outer reaches of American politics and the agents of intolerance, whether they be Louis Farrakhan or Al Sharpton on the left, or Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell on the right.” (Sen. John McCain, Remarks,  Virginia Beach, VA, 2/28/00) Sen. McCain Attacked Vice President Cheney. MCCAIN: “The president listened too much to the Vice President . . . Of course, the president bears the ultimate responsibility, but he was very badly served by both the Vice President and, most of all, the Secretary of Defense.” (Roger Simon, “McCain Bashes Cheney Over Iraq Policy,” The Politico, 1/24/07) 9) Celebrating His First Senate Election In 1986, Sen. McCain Screamed At And Harassed A Young Republican Volunteer. “It was election night 1986, and John McCain had just been elected to the U.S. Senate for the first time. Even so, he was not in a good mood. McCain was yelling at the top of his lungs and poking the chest of a young Republican volunteer who had set up a lectern that was too tall for the 5-foot-9 politician to be seen to advantage, according to a witness to the outburst. ‘Here this poor guy is thinking he has done a good job, and he gets a new butt ripped because McCain didn’t look good on television,’ Jon Hinz told a reporter Thursday. At the time, Hinz was executive director of the Arizona Republican Party. … Hinz said McCain’s treatment of the young campaign worker in 1986 troubled him for years. ‘There were an awful lot of people in the room,’ Hinz recalled. ‘You’d have to stick cotton in your ears not to hear it. He (McCain) was screaming at him, and he was red in the face. It wasn’t right, and I was very upset at him.’” (Kris Mayes and Charles Kelly, “Stories Surface On Senator’s Demeanor,” The Arizona 10) Republic, 11/5/99) Sen. McCain “Publicly Abused” Senator Richard Shelby ( R-AL ). “[McCain] noted his propensity for passion but insisted that he doesn’t ‘insult anybody or fly off the handle or anything like that.’ This is, quite simply, hogwash. McCain often insults people and flies off the handle…. There have been the many times McCain has called reporters ‘liars’ and ‘idiots’ when they have had the audacity to ask him unpleasant, but pertinent, questions. McCain once… publicly abused Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama.” (Editorial, “There’s Something Odd About McCain,” The Austin American-Statesman, 1/24/07) This entry was posted on Saturday, January 5th, 2008 at 3:36 pm and is filed under General.

What about the vice-president who is a Christian. Did McCain pull a rabbit out of the hat just instantly or just someone who will be slandered for her beliefs. The polls show Obama ahead. The polls at one time showed McCain ahead. With the economy the way it is now, fasten your seat belts we are heading for bouncing times ahead. I going to work for the government.

Well, maybe you hurt my feelings a little but since we are still friends I think it will be alright- political differences aside. Yes politics is very involved and complicated and I doubt I would want to write a book on the subject anyway- but it is something I like to talk with friends about from time to time. I don't usually try to argue because talking is usually enough to make things interesting when it comes to political views. These things are just a part of life. The rapture may or may not be right around the corner no one really knows. I wish it would because I am tired of of all the fears and speculation and collectively speaking people seem to have so many of those here. I don't think God wants us to be afraid I think He wants us to trust Him. We are His children and I believe He is guiding us to fullfill His will here on earth. "For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus." Philippians 1:5-7 NAS

Judging from your comment, I think I offend you. I didn't mean to. I was just saying what I thought. I think this subject is too complex for a detailed discussion on a blog. In order to state your case thoroughly you'd have to post enough to fill a book, and no one would read it all anyway. I wasn't trying to change your mind. I don't think I could. And I don't feel you have to agree with me about it or we can't be friends. The last thing I want to do is create hard feelings and argue about this. It's really not worth it. I really am waiting for the rapture. It can happen at any time. I wasn't equating this election with the end of the world. I was just saying that it can happen at any moment and when it does, it won't matter who is in the White House. We'll be in Heaven looking in the face of Jesus. Everyone down here can worry about politics. You're correct, it is your right as an American to pick a president. And I expect you to go to the polls and do just that. I will too. That's all we can do. Then we leave it in God's hands and get back to building our relationship with Him and doing His work.

I'm not an Obama fan, but the guy is not a muslim. His dad was a muslim, and that's where he got the name from, unlike the ones who change their name to fit the religion. McCain is the republican candidate because no one else wanted it bad enough, and the democrats are due to win one. If Colin Powell or Condoleeza Rice were running, I would vote for either one of them in a heartbeat. As it stands now, maybe this is the cycle where a third party candidate might be viable. Mybad for even commenting on politics, but that's the plain truth.

I don't think he's the great 'Christian' candidate. If there was a better choice than him I would take it. But I do think he's the better of the two choices we have. Even if all these statements are true, I don't think having a bit of a temper would necessarily mean that he couldn't make good decisions. Washington needs a good slap in the head anyway. I'd rather have some one in the White House who gets angry and gets the job done, than have another version of Clinton, which is all Obama really is. Besides, Mc Cain spent several years in a North Vietnamese prison being tortured because he was serving his country. Do you really think Obama would have done the same. Considering he's a Muslim, I'd say no way. He just wants to get elected, that's all. He'll say anything he has to in order to make that happen. Obama tries to be all things to all people and he looks phony because of it. And if the American people elect him, then we deserve what we get. And God help us all. But if you step back and look at the big picture, it really doesn't matter who gets elected. Even if the one who gets in really does a good job, it's just forestalling the inevitable. The prophetic clock is ticking and it's getting close to midnight. The Rapture is right around the corner. That's what I'm waiting on. I want a King, not a president.
