I think you mean failing, not feeling.
Thanks, John
Oh yes, God bless the adultery! A sin is forgiven, even the unrepeated. If McCain was truly sorry for his sin, he would have reconciled with his first wife.
His moral failings still follow him. While Obama admits to having been self centered and admits that it a problem with all politicians, McCain is still living with his mistress.
For the first time in history, America will either vote for a Black Leader or an Adulterer
We aren't voting for a saint. We are voting for someone who will have to make decisions that are decidedly amoral. I have no problem with an adulterer in the White House. I do not see where it is of any importance.
That was really remarkable on the Fresh Air show how you passed on the lie about McCain taking a story Solzhenitsyn never even wrote. That little ferret woman, I expect that from. Time Magazine I expect that from. You're just a propagandist in training though. Good job.
So will it help if Barack Obama said his greatest moral failing is his support for abortion? Will the multitude of evangelicals then consider the other important christ-like issues he represents for like peace, unity, prosperity, universal healthcare, etc and vote for him?
Come on, don't act like baby christians who are unable to discern the pandering, the fraud, the deception of politicians like John Mccain. He doesn't say whether it was the word of God that brought him to acknowledge his adultery mistake, whether he was convicted by the Holy Spirit, whether he's done restitution or anything at all ...... just nothing!
- He cheats, abdandons and divorces his faithful, dedicated wife who had become handicapped.
- He's angry and bad-tempered.
- He calls his wife a c**t.
- He says sending cigarettes to Iran may be a way to kill them (what kind of christian man makes that kind of joke)?
- He dodges every question on his faith and talks about something else.
- He volunteers his wife to a topless contest.
- And just today, he was praising Daddy Yankee who sang 'Gasolina' an immoral song about sexual intercourse.

JOHN MCCAIN IS NO GEORGE BUSH. JOHN MCCAIN IS NOT A MAN A FAITH - PERIOD!
Classic McCain - refers to us and our leaders as "Agents of Intollerance" one year, and then seeks our support another year.
What a phony!
This man is DEFINITELY NOT a man of faith!
Vote for him because you want more wars - not because he's one of us.
hey Diamond,
I bet your one of those Alex Jones guys who think the government (Bush)knocked down the twin towers too.
Okay so Obama had the judgement and discipline to not be a philandering husband and was guilty of being foolish when he was young so McCain comes off as a better man?Are you kidding me?
I watched my mother's heart being broken as my father did the same thing.I am now married for almost 30 years to a man that did not succumb to temptation and beleive me the fact that my father looks back now as McCain did and knows he was wrong is no seminole moment.He knew what he was doing when he did it and it was as wrong then as it is now yet he still chose to fill his needs over his word and bond.
Marriage is an oathe before God to join for life regardless of temptations and circumstance.That is what an oathe means.So many children are hurt by parents who break those oathes by watching the pain their abandoned Mom or Dad feels it is a joke to applaud the fact that hindsight is 20/20 in this case.
As a child of a father with 20/20 hindsight I do not applaud the admission by McCain.I would have applauded him if he never succumbed to his needs and temptations to begin with and honored his marriage vows to his wife and children.
