I Wonder What Would Be The Response If McCain Had Friends Like Obama Does?

Hi Gewcew, oh my goodness, don't you know? McCain and his cronies (and this is how he referred to Obama's "friends" on the debate last night) the Reps...can do no harm...they are going to save the world...they are going to make "change" (McCain and his cronies also stole this from Obama!!). Yes, yes, we are all going to be so much better off with McCain!! I hope you can tell that my response is all sarcastic in reference to "that one"...oh gee, I'm sorry, did I say that one? (McCain did, also last night...while pointing his finger at Obama!!). I'm for Obama. Go Obama, Go Obama, Go Obama, Rah, Rah, Rah!!!!! ~G~

GewCew, I just love Obama's response to the questions about his relationship to Ayers and Dohrn. Obama says, "I was only eight years old at the time these thing happened"! What does that have to do with anything? Sure Obama can't be held responsible for anything Ayers or Dohrn did when Obama was 8 but, when Barack enlisted Ayers help early in his political career, it shows just how poor Obamas reasoning and decision skills truely are! That Ayers and Dohrn were domestic terrorists is not something that has just recently come to light and for Obama or anyone else to say he just didn't know is ludicrous!

Yup, Obama associates with a guy who wishes he killed me and other vets and servicemen, but we're just supposed to shrug that off.

These things you were talking about happened at a time when they were not called 'terrorism'. Furthermore, the only reason why Christians would shun the company of a person who has been punished for a crime is if they are hypocrites and not true Christians. As to whether Ayers or his wife have apologized for what they did or not, you should have checked on that forty years ago. Ironically, those who like to bring up the issue of Ayers are the same people who kept voting for people like Strom Thurmond who advocated segregation. It is those same people who defend the 'terrorism' that the Ku Klux Klan waged against black people. If we are going to talk about Roy Ayers, then let's go back to the days of slavery and shun all those who condoned the 'terrorism' that was waged on a whole race for centuries. America's right wing is full of cold-hearted withes and wizards who bring your blood to boiling point by ignoring their own shortcoming and emphasizing those of others. Justice is when a criminal is made to pay for what he or she did. After that, no one has a moral right to keep condemning such a person. That is why even the law still upholds the 'double jeopardy' clause. Poor judgment on the part of a Christian is not to befriend someone who has done wrong and been punished for it. It is when you call one person a terrorist and forget that a whole generation of a race sat by and watched as a particular race was 'terrorized' in this nation. These issues are what have lead to ethnic cleansing in some parts of the world. As the leader of the civilized world, America must learn to treat all its citizens fairly, including those who have committed crimes and been punished. Including even members of the atrocious Ku Klux Klan, some of whose members have many friends here on mylot.

Isn't this election scary enough without wondering how it would be if both candidates had not only their own faults but the faults of their opponent as well?

Wow...We have different opinions...Obama was a small child when that happened.... And MCain has had some fishy people in his life as an adult...(Charles Keating.)...And McCain cheated on his first wife many times over...I am sure in order to cheat, he had to lie and decieve...And his wife, Cindy, born with her silver spoon, stole needed medicine that was meant for very poor children... So I wish those who are judging Obama by morals or character..would recognize these facts of past actions of McCain as an adult...Oh he also dated and braggs bout that stripper! So much for right wing conservatisim! Anyway...I respect him as a war hero...To me that is what he is and will remain... Best wishes~

It would've been on front pages and over the waves for weeks and months on end.. Kinda like the regretful perv story in Abu Ghraib totally preempted the United Nation's Food for Oil Scandal/deal with Hussein.. which brought starvation to many..

It would not even be an issue, because McCain would have never made it in politics if he had done that. Obama can do that partly because of his race, and partly because the democrats have no standards or values and hate America.

Oh it would have been all over Youtube and Annie- would have had a field day as well as that other main Obama supporter on myLot. They would have let everyone know. It would have been disastrous for McCain because they seem to write about the friends of McCain who did things not exactly honest and considered McCain guilty by association. Sort of bringing dirt up on the table and yet they let whose Obama was friends with slide as if if you are a Republican, your past or your former associates are against you but if you are a Democrat, we let it slide. And for that woman to try to kill that boy. I hope she got a long jail sentence.

"Same kind" as in criminals? Well, I suppose that's a matter of opinion. _ Everyone's got a beef with who both of them know. But I don't do guilt by association...I thought this country moved away from that. I try very hard not to judge McCain for who he hangs out with -- there was a story about hanging out on the yacht of a famous con men, Phil Gramm (who some will remember from the whole Enron scandal)..yada, yada. I know, we could get into this whole debate about weighing crimes of who both of them are associated with...but I personally...can't do it. I won't do it. Morally it seems impossible. So unless we can catch either of them doing something horrible with these people...it's hard to do. "Judge them by what they have done, not by what they could do." and all that -- I know, it irks me too...but to take the high road...*sighs*

They don't have enough awful things to say about Senator McCain so they dish on his age and really stupid things. If he had friends like that, I can only imagine what they would do to him. He would not have even gotten as far as he did. He would not be a presidential candidate. Obama is out there and people either know about all this craziness or they not informed or they just don't care. We have a lot in the younger generation who just do not even pay attention to what is going. They don't care. The ones in this category are irresponsible. They have had so much given to them. Obama tries to be so cool and the kids are eating it up. Far too many of them are not bright. Then their are the so-called professionals and even Christians who are voting for him. I keep thinking someone dropped them on their head early in life.
