Spiritually speaking.....what in the name of God could John McCain have been thinking???

Question

Not only does he present a totally unqualified candidate for the V.P. position, but he chooses (as a sop to the religious Right Wing) an alleged Christain Evangelical, high on family values, who could not even keep her 17-year old daughter from getting pregnant outside of marriage??? And who now crows of how 'proud' she is of her daughter and the s*x-addict who got her pregnant!!!

WHY??? Was she too busy following her own career to instil REAL morals into her children. Is she a hypocrite who only pays lip service to 'family values'.....is this a woman who is qualified to "preach" family values to the rest of America????? Does John McCain have THAT little in the way of common sense??????

To claim as Dobson has, that it is a family matter, and we ALL sinners is c**p. This is a woman who will be influencing OUR families. What a parent tell a child who asks: "Well, if the daughter of the VICE PRESIDENT of the United States can s***w around before marriage, why can't I??"

AND, if John McClaim states that this woman is his 'soul mate' ( a title that married men reserve for their wives)....what does THAT say about him?? Didn't he marry his 'soul mate'???? Or did he marry those SEVEN houses?

Are these really the two people we need 'preaching' to the rest of us????? I THINK NOT!!! Opinions welcome.

Answer 1

That was emotional.

Anyway, who cares?  Life happens.  And she is qualified, and was likely chosen not only because she was a woman but mostly so she can push the drilling in ANWR issue since she is more informed on that issue than anyone in government.

Also, what was the democratic party thinking by "selecting" someone with less experience than McCain's VP, and what was Obama thinking picking an old-politics sentator who plagerized his life story when he ran for president in the 80's?  They could have picked Hilary for the top of the ticket, or VP, but no, the democrats had stars in their eyes and likely blew their chances on a rock star.

At least Palin has executive experience, unlike anyone else on the tickets.

Answer 2

Well, isn't she pretty much a slice of American life? Btw, her daughter will not make a choice to kill her unborn baby. John McCain could not have picked a better person. What will the Leftist's say?

They preach all the time about women's rights and such things as this. So what are they going to say?

Answer 3

We walk our own paths.  We all need to keep them in prayer.  I am voting for Obama.

Answer 4

I think you are a little over-zealous about this topic.  I haven't met a perfect human being yet-- or a perfect family.  What about the large numbers of families who let their daughter's get abortions rather than take on hardship or embarrass the family.  That's what's really sad and what you really could focus some of  your zeal on.

Answer 5

To be quite honest, one actually still could have had respect for the Republicans during the George Bush senior day.

George Bush Junior started losing the respect of the world, but I believe the Republicans could have saved face if they introduced a proper candidate.

This McCain proves to be a trainwreck. His decisions and his views are really shocking. The Palin incident confirms this.

I am not American, but I hope you guys help to elect anyone else in power. The world will go down the drain with that fool in power!  

Answer 6

that's just it..... he WASN'T thinking......

On a serious note, i think he thought that by picking a woman, he could get all the votes of the women who were mad that Obama didn't choose Hillary for VP. But hopefully the women of America are smart enough not to fall for that c**p...

Answer 7

I don't think they have been preaching to us.

And, who controls their 17 years old "completely"?? They are almost adults and will make mistakes.

Christianity is about forgiveness.  And they are going to take responsibility for the mistake- the family is going to take care of that baby.   Not the welfare office.

Let's hope the girl shows some maturity now and learns from this mistake.

Answer 8

Be gone Obamite!

I am voting for the Hero not the ....

All the best.

Answer 9

To McSame a skirt is a skirt.  His nomination of Palin was purely political strategy.  He hoped to gather all the women who had supported Hilary Clinton.

Strong women who can think for themselves will never vote for an anti-choice homophobic creationist, no matter what gender they happen to be.

Answer 10

Apparently, McCain's decision on his VP makes about as much sense as (to quote Pres. Bush) s**t.

Also, interestingly enough, Obama's still married to his first wife while McCain ditched his swimsuit-model first wife for a younger woman.

Focus on the family, much?

Answer 11

Whoever becomes vice president of this nation will not impact my life one little bit...

Come to think of it, neither will whoever becomes president

Telling me the country is in bad shape because of a president is like telling me I should complain to Ronald McDonald when I get a bad hamburger...neither of them run the company...

You make a telling point at least:

"To claim as Dobson has, that it is a family matter, and we ALL sinners is c**p. This is a woman who will be influencing OUR families. What a parent tell a child who asks: "Well, if the daughter of the VICE PRESIDENT of the United States can s***w around before marriage, why can't I??"  "

Where was Dobson's merciful understanding during the Clinton/Lewinsky circus?  Isn't is true that too many people have already made up their minds about which side of the political spectrum they wish to associate themselves, and they will white-wash the side of the fence they want to be on, while blackening the other?

Perhaps now you see my disinterest...

Answer 12

i agree with you 100%.  McCain and Dobson are not fit nfor leading our country.

Answer 13

So let me get this straight...We should never elect a person whose daughter got pregnant, or who got a divorce, or who cheated on his wife one time, or whose gerat-great-great-great-great grandfather was a slave owner or who once tried cocaine or who uses the phrase "soul mate" when referring to his wife AND his VP pick or who etc. etc. etc. etc.

Using these guidlines it's plain to see that YOU are the only one worthy of running for office because YOU are the only one who is perfect and sin free.

But I'll bet you didn't say a word about Clinton having s*x in the oval office while talking on the phone to foreign dignitaries. And what about that cigar that slick Willie smoked?  

Answer 14

He just doesn't get it, does he?

Answer 15

I would never vote for him, and I am a Christian.  Obama gets my vote.

Answer 16

You said what I've been thinking PERFECTLY!  Thank you!!

This is all too typical of the hypocrisy of the conservative fundamentalists, both in politics and religion. It just goes on and on and on. They simply cannot and should never be trusted or believed. Their lives are built on dishonesty.

Why anyone (McCain) would care a thing about what these corrupt and evil people think is beyond me. He has only further doomed a campaign that was already hopeless.

EDIT: The more I read this question over, the more BRILLIANT it is! Every conservative Republican and fundamentalist religious person in the US needs to read this and UNDERSTAND it!! It makes so very clear the serious problems with the causes you support.
