While watching CSI tonight I saw McCain's new ad not once but twice. It was about how Obama said his church as not contraverisal and about Rev. Wright. It pretty well said because he said in that church with Rev. Wright for so long that he must believe what Rev. Wright says. It reminded people that until the news stories started breaking about the bad thinks Rev. Wright was saying that he was on Obamas campaign as an "advisor". It said he was "too risky and radical" to be president.
Does this matter to you? Does the church someone goes to and the people someone chooses as their advisors really matter when you make your choice?

That was not a McCain commercial. He has made it very clear that the Rev. Wright issue is off limits and he's stood by that despite all the pressure from those around him.
For me it does matter when I see the people a candidate chooses as his associates. I'm not going to judge a candidate based on their religion, but when they attend a church that preaches racism and hatred for our country, I feel it's an important thing to take into consideration. The same goes for his association with Ayers. There is that saying "birds of a feather flock together".

What happened to McCain's promise not to use Wright as a bludgeon in his campaign?

Okay. Apostrophe s means possession when used the way you use it. 
So I deserve no blame for interpreting it that way, I don't think.

I attended a Baptist church for close to 10 years. I still go to church on Christmas Eve and Easter morning with my family. The kicker is, I'm an atheist. What does that tell you? Just because you sit in the pews and listen to them, doesn't mean you agree with them.
I don't care who Obama's pastor is, really. His pastor is not running for president, nor is his pastor his intended Vice President. I'm not voting for Obama, but I can guarantee you that his Pastor is not even on my list of reasons why.

I don't think it's the same. There are lots of personal reasons why a person goes to church when they don't believe. There is NO REASON I can think of that is honorable, why a person would listen to that much hate and anger and railing against the government and be as close to the Rev as Obama is.

Well I think it's the same. The main argument is that if you don't agree with the teachings, you go somewhere else. I don't think gays are evil, or atheists are evil, or that judgement day will come and sinners will be judged. I've heard them said in Baptist sermons, yet I still make the choice to go if I feel like it. By the logic of many people, my willfully continuing to attend a church where a pastor has said such things means that I am an atheist hating homophobe at heart.

It should because in indicates the true character and motives of Obama. Especially when he denied knowledge of what his church and preachings of the pastor were about. Did he sit in the pews all those years wearing earplugs and blinders? Check out theobamafile.com You can find lots of information about who the real Obama is.
