Perhaps McCain is making obvious Christian statements to gain support for 2008.

"Perhaps McCain is making obvious Christian statements to gain support for 2008."

You dare to doubt his sincerity ?!?!?

(me too.)

And therefore he feels it necessary to wreck, subvert, and disable good and proven policy where ever he finds it -- advocating liberal views on both domestic and international issues while promoting himself as a "moderate republican" the whole time.
But how dare I question his actions when his resume has sooo many items on it, and with a water-mark even!

Do I sense a run for president coming up? Sorry if I'm too cynical.

5. McCain's war stories are all like Danny Kaye holding his arm in "White Christmas..."

At various points in "White Christmas," Danny Kaye grasps the war wound he got saving Bing Crosby, to manipulate him into doing things.

Every time McCain talks about his military service, it comes off the same way to me. "Remember, I was captured and tortured fighting for your freedom -- you owe me your vote."

I tend to stay away from attacking the service itself, which is nothing but commendable. But the way he has paraded it for decades to get votes is nothing short of disgusting, and shows nothing more than how much he is no longer the person he was back then.

There are so many more people who got hurt the same way and don't use it for personal gain -- people he's turned his back on with his votes on veterans' benefits.

What a douchebag.

13. Interesting point re Danny Kaye/White Christmas....
one of my favorite Christmas movies. You are right, it is just like that.

Serving is honorable but it does NOT give anyone a pass to lie, cheat, and steal.

One can question the character of someone who served and it does NOT mean one is denigrating all those who serve, imo.

6. Out of the mouths of FReepers:
"If you have the chance, pick up Wurbrnad's book Tortured for Christ concerning the undergorund Church in Romania and the USSR under Communism."

7. damn...
To: OldFriend; The Mayor
Hmmmm. Looks like McCain has been reading Solzhenitsyn.
From The Mayor's daily posts at FR's Finest and The Canteen from the devotional "Our Daily Bread" comes Sunday's reading...

World-famous Russian author Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was sent to a Siberian prison because he criticized communism. Languishing there under intolerable conditions year after year, he decided to end his life. But suicide, he firmly believed, would be against God's will. He thought it would be better for a guard to shoot him.

So at a public assembly of the prisoners, he sat in a front row, planning to get up and walk toward an exit, compelling a guard to kill him. But to his surprise, another prisoner sat down, blocking his exit. That unknown man leaned over and, to Solzhenitsyn's astonishment, drew a cross on the dirt floor.

The cross! Wondering if that fellow prisoner might be a messenger from God, Solzhenitsyn resolved to endure his imprisonment. There in prison he became a Christian and was eventually set free to bear witness to the world.

Are you in the grip of difficult circumstances? Have you wondered if life is worth living? Focus your heart on the cross—it is the message of God's love, forgiveness, and saving grace for you. Invite the Christ of Calvary with His transforming power into your life. Discover for yourself that the Christ of the cross can change you. —Vernon Grounds

The cross is my hope for eternity—
No merit have I of my own;
The shed blood of Christ my only plea—
My trust is in Jesus alone. —Christiansen

Calvary's cross is the only bridge to eternal life.

14. Well, damn, there goes the argument that it is those damn left-wing....
Obama-supporting blogs doing this. It moots down the point some here on DU are making that this will be blamed on Obama so we shouldn't go there.

Love it when the freepers are "hoisted on their own petard"!

21. Wow!
They don't seem to like him over there. If they aren't for him...who is????

This was my favorite post:
"I absolutely HATE it when this guy extorts his veteranism or POW stuff."
They have better names for him: McInsane! Why didn't we think of that!
