Seriously, McCain would not have been my first choice but I see nothing coming from the Obama camp of any substance and also see him as the type of person who will only say what he knows people want to hear. Even his mentor, Rev Wright has said this
.
JMO but Rev Wright doesnt get my attention at all, I have an aunt who attends that church, and even she doesnt agree with everything he has to say, but this has been her church for many years, should I not take advice from her because of her assosiations? Could it not be that this is the Revs opportunity to get air time (T.V) nation/world wide, and not just the local news in Chicago for a turkey his church donated? I dont think there is anything wrong with your opinions, but please, help me to understand one thing here, what are the pastors motives for trying to destroy Obama's character, and telling the world that Obama's mother was "White Trash", would you really believe someone who is speaking like this, but claiming to be "Spiritual". Maybe, he taught from the Bible, and spoke the words from that book at one time, but there is a vivid change in this man... People change, and when you begain to do things to change your life, or help others, or, progress, well, your true friends will show themselves, and so will your enemies.... And sometimes your enemies are the people you've laughed with for 20yrs.
All I am saying is this, think about the Rev.....who is he? A man with a bible, perhaps he have degress, and have gone to school for theology, and got a church, and begain to teach the word of God, but could he perhaps have some motive?
Think about the popes who have molested children.....when people attended those services, they didnt know the pope was in the back having sex with kids....So, take these things into consideration.... I wont judge a man from the content I recieved his brother nor his mother (because I can I say these things are tangible), but what I recieve from that man.....
As far as McCain, I never took the info I read about him nor the other candidates seriously, I have a friend who works in media in Chicago and New york, I work for the washington post, these writers have goals, people need to want to read what the pubs write....And unfortunately, we like lots of bull and drama, this is what we feed from. So they will get clear water and add as much dirt as possible, making it muddy so when you get it, the color and texture is different.
I researched these people myself, on my own, I listened and watched how they answered questions, what does the body language say? That is very important... who has been the most consistant if I go back a few years......hmmmm, Ron and Obama have been the most. And they are both going for a passionate change, and I would like us to unite as an America, we are truly not there yet..... And if you read any past post, you'll see I dont bad mouth the candidates (i may joke).
I listened to McCain with open ears, mind, and heart.... And I heard what he had to say. He answered the questions but not with the interest of the people....He answered so he could hurry and move on to the next... He walked away from an ill older woman and had not addressed her question...He turned his back on her..... He turned his back..... Dont know if you've gone to college, or have taken any psych classes, if not, you can google this, or just think of how you'd feel if someone turned thier back to you while you were asking them a serious question....and they begin to walk away.....however that makes you feel, just be prepared to feel that way as long as McCain is in office. .....If that is really what you want. G'nite.
