YES!!! Just what the Democrats need right now, the Criminal Right comes out in support of one of its own. Lets reopen the Keating Five investigation and see if McCain has ties to the Criminal Right.

Oh, I forgot, they don't care if they elect crooks. the Republicans have a track record of re-electing convits. Then so does the demorcats.

One interview with a McCain adviser and he moves up the meter. WOW!

I hope an Obama adviser is interviewed to talk about the Christian values of marriage, the immoral act of adultery, corruption and killing innocent people in a war that should've never been fought.

For a guy who once said, we Evangelicals are agents of Intollerance, John McCain is doing awefully well taking us for suckers.

It doesn't matter that the economy is in shambles, that we have no respect left in the world, that our military is overstretched, that we're spending trillions of dollars in Iraq and that McCain is a trigger-happy, reckless, war-mongering hothead who would attack Iran in a beat. As long as he opposes abortion AND supports stem cell research, McCain can move up God-O-Meter and Republicans can have 4 more years.

What a disgraceful nation this is turning into.

Rick Warren did a good service for God and Country. We need to confess that the U. S. is in trouble for our many sins, immorality, perversion, greed, Court Tyranny, lack of work, etc. We need to turn back to the Bible and Christ on which our country lived and developed; but it should be clearly stated by Amendment to the Constitution. U. S. has been far from perfect but have gotten rid of slavery and gotten more freedom through the good and christian people; but we have drifted into the way of worldliness.
We must seek the LORD with our all. Of course the govt never forces people to believe, they must come willingly; but the U.S. has always publicly; by Presidents and state constitutions and Bible speeches and on buildings, etc. proclaimed the Bible and the LORD.
We can by the Grace and Spirit of God. wayne

Yes, it bothers me that McCain committed adultry !
But has any of those bible believers ever read about FORGIVENESS?
CHRIST knew forgiveness wasn't always going to be easy...but he insisted on it!

Ralph-Reedian logic:

Life is precious, and abortion is murder*

*excluding, of course, extremely late post-term abortion via surgical bombing conducted by God's favorite nation in the interest of spreading freedom
