McCain is NOT A MEMBER OF ROD PARSLEYS CHURCH. If you are trying to put McCain in the same boat as Obama FORGET IT - McCain did not sit in his church for 20 years listening to racial hate remarks. Parsley endorsed McCain. Even Oprah was smart enough to get out of Obama's church but she done it years ago - I guess she is a fast learner not like Obama he has to be pretty slow for it to take him 20 years to learn something.

You’re right, there is no way McCain did what Obama has done.

Obama only left the church because of bad press, not because he doesn’t believe the same racial hatred as the pastors.

He made the statement "It's clear that now that I am a candidate for president, every time something is said in the church by anyone associated with Trinity, including guest pastors, the remarks will be imputed to me, even if they totally conflict with my long-held views, statements and principles," so I feel if a person stays in a church for that many years he/she had to hear that type of sermon many times and he/she must feel the same way. Sounds to me like he would stay with the church if he wasn’t running for President and he has the same kind of conviction as the pastors.

People will say and do anything to become the president and we all know that, but to be the first Black president is apt to say or do what ever they can to win the election, if not even more.

Once again, Hagee is not his pastor and McCain did not sit in a church for 20 years that preaches that type of hatred. He took Hagee endorsement without knowing the way he preached hatred. As soon as he found out, he dropped his endorsement.

Unlike Obama, who stayed with the church after the first issue came up about his pastor ( If a person goes to a church for 20 years, there is no way he did not hear that type of sermon before). He is just dropping the church in order to run for the presidencies without the church issues getting in the way and I find that as him being just like his pastor, only he is hiding his true thoughts via the election.

I can say that much of the animosity that is created over the issue is simply being created as a scare tactic.

A close friend of mine who is in Germany still serving in our military (God bless her) uses the same judgment. She attempts to also portray Obama as being Muslim, not putting his hand on his heart during the National Anthem and refusing to pledge the flag. She's still stuck in a world of imagination like some of the rest them in the mediacentric universe.

If people take the time to find real evidence, there is bad and good on everyone's part. There's no reason to tarnish a name for something because you simply don't have some of the same beliefs or refuse to accept some issues for what they are. Despite many people's refusal to accept their own claims of politicians always being the bad political character, some of these individuals making these claims are bad characters themselves.

I have been a member of the Catholic church for my entire life. However, I find some things hard to believe. I don't practice my religion and have since come up with my own values and faith. A church never has a 100% reflection of who you truly are. Have you ever heard a person distinctly talk about church and morals, yet they go to the bar every other night after work and come home drunk to their wife and kids? Sadly, there's more of that than many seize to recognize. It's fake practice.

What I find more ironic....is that my friend gets extremely confronting when we all talk politics. She acts as if she's secure in her decision, but she is still unwilling to dis

fox2fan...you are very uninformed and biased.

I'm sorry. I did return because my final line was a bit out of line. I do have to admit that it undeserved.

However, I just want you to back up your state right-moves. There's not way you can make a statement such as you did and expect anyone to just take it for what it is. It's not good debate.

I will admit that I'm a bit biased. I've already chosen my favorite to win the most power job in the world. On the other hand, I don't feel uninformed.

Did you read up on the embassy proposal they have in Iraq? Hmmmmm. Might want to do so. I've been there and don't agree with giving more to a government that has been slacking for so long, even after we have pumped money into them and have tried to rebuild them. They're slacking. Although these processes aren't short, they show little motivation to progress even with the supposed success of the surge.

Support for my statement is what you write.

And you admit to being biased.

Fame...You wouldn't know an educated mind if you had one!

I agree with you fbca7

Right-Moves: It is unfortunate that you have to lash out with comments of disrespect. These comments only validate your lack of education as well as lack of respect for others with opposing views. I leave you with this.

Minds are like parachutes. They work best when they are open.

Work with me right moves-I am trying to work with you. Carpe Diem

To add on to what I just said:

right-moves, two lines of critical wording is not deemed anything close to evidence. It seems that your motives for tarnishing a name are as close to Rush Limbaugh's relationship with narcotics.

One thing I thing we can all combat here, is bad taste and ill informed comments.

Fame, keep up the hard research on your cadidates and may the best man win in November. If it's McCain, I'll support him. If it's Barack, I'll support him, too.

No American can claim they are American and hope that their country goes to ruins if a political official they are unfavorable with gets in office. That's disgusting to me. Right moves is one of those people.

Senior-
I really do like the way you go about things. You actually give some type of solid word to back your opinion. However, this is something that right-moves has to do himself. Have you viewed right-moves blogs? I just love how everyone speaks against this "hate" they see from Obama's Rev., but then they log onto this blog site and spread as much hate themselves. Hypocrites!

I wasn't alive in the 1960's to experience the civil rights movement, but our regression in 2008 is pathetic. It may be the youngest Americans who are more blind to color and that is a great thing to me. I would be embarrassed to be a person in my middle ages or older.

When this campaign first started and even now, the excuse many middle aged women/men have for not voting for Obama is not only sex of the candidate, but also race. There are countless women I've spoken to (including family members) whose reason for not favoring Obama (but declaring Democratic) was, "I think it's about time a women was voted into office." Or, "I don't think America is ready for a black president." Fools; not for their favorite candidate, but for their reasoning.
