While this video is telling in its own right, the majority of Americans couldn't care less about the present situation in Iraq and Afghanistan - death, destruction - it doesn't matter. As long as it's not happening here.
What's really scary is that the present administration is comprised of evangelical christians, and McCain is also one of the same. These people are far more concerned about preventing two people of the same sex receiving the same civil rights as themselves than the bloodshed and destruction of tens of thousands in the Middle East. While that is sickening in and of itself, allow me to touch upon issues that are certain to play a large part in this election among the educated - the housing market is collapsing, foreclosure rates are at record highs, the poor and middle class are suffering the worst financial woes in decades, education is being undermined by fundamentalist christians whose purpose is to teach mythology in the science curriculum, and the same want to introduce legislature that would define contraception as abortion (!!!!)
I truly believe that this year will result in a massive turnout in the voting booths -one that will stop the evangelical christian madness that has prevailed over the last eight years.
I honestly don't see McCain as our next president.
All the Arabs screwed up in 2000 and voted for Bush cuz Gore's VP was Jew. Big Deal. Now look what Bush did to the world. Responsible for the death of millions.
Thats nothing I heard Saudi Arabia helped America financially for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Iraqis were dancing as their country was being bombed. Something screwed up in that part of the world.

How would you know McCain is "mean hearted"? Are you basing that on anything?
"Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is."
The modern KKK, which is basically just a group of anti-social scumbags, make alot of statements. You can bet that Obama's secret service detail is well aware of any threats and will take the appropriate precautions. Plus, this little group just opened themselves up to serious federal interest. They will be lucky to be able to urinate in privacy.

^Well the mean-hearted part is just from the stuff he has said over he last few months. He seems to be taking cheap shots at Barack Obama all the time, but that is subjctive and that's just my opinion. And everyone knows about the whole temper thing. Quite frankly I don't think McCain is mentally "all there" if you know what I mean.

McCain and Obama had a nice little hug on stage the other night at a Christian town hall type event. They have been throwing cheap shots at each other for months. That is politics.
As for McCain's temper, he is known to get annoyed at the media from time to time. Otherwise he is usually very laid back.

Did FBI not arrest a 14 year old girl for making death threat to George Bush? Why can't they just arrest this guy? Does KKK also fall under America's terror list?

I don't know about the circumstances or the details behind the 14 year old girl, so I can't really comment on that.
As for the KKK, I don't believe they are under any terror list. At least not high on it. Primarily because they don't actually commit terrorist acts anymore. The KKK is a shell of what it used to be. Now they just make statements and disrupt minority parades and the like. You can bet if the FBI had reason to suspect this guy is actually involved in a conspiracy to kill Barak Obama they would take him down to Chinatown in a heartbeat.

How bout when he said he would not want a Muslim president but would be fine with a morman.
Did he say that? Note i'm not actually a McCain supporter, not that it would matter as i'm British anyway, but he's always struck me as a man of great personal integrity. I'd still much prefer Obama to get in though.

Infinity;
I can't imagine a definition of "evangelical Christian" that would include John McCain. Are you kidding? They all voted for Huckaby in the primary. If he loses it will be partly because he won't get "evangelical Christian" votes.
I can see your point about the housing market, though......the link to 2 or 3 school disticts in Tennesse or Iowa teaching Creationsim and rising foreclosure rates is very compelling. Surely they have all gone mad.
BTW...the contraception opposition is largely Roman Catholic not evangelical Christian, but I do realize they all may just seem the same
How bout when he said he would not want a Muslim president but would be fine with a morman.
GOP presidential candidate John McCain says America is better off with a Christian President and he doesn't want a Muslim in the Oval Office.
"I admire Islam. There's a lot of good principles in it," he said. "But I just have to say in all candor that since this nation was founded primarily on Christian principles, personally, I prefer someone who I know who has a solid grounding in my faith."
In a wide-ranging interview about religion and faith with the Web site Beliefnet, McCain said he wouldn't "rule out under any circumstance" someone who wasn't Christian, but said, "I just feel that that's an important part of our qualifications to lead."
McCain later clarified his remarks, saying, "I would vote for a Muslim if he or she was the candidate best able to lead the country and to defend our political values."
Personally I don't find this to be a controversial statement. Most Americans would agree that they feel a Christian president best represents American values. That goes for both Democrats and Republicans.

Keltoi,how you think, has McCain chances to gather majority of conservative christians' votes?
They dont like McCain but Obama looks quite radical comparing to him. Obama supports gay ralationships and full abortion demands. Or maybe most of biblical christians wont attend this elections.
This country is dying because of a lack of men, not a lack of programs.

I doubt if the so-called Evangelical vote will be as strong this election for McCain, but I imagine most of those Christians who always vote will come out for McCain in great numbers. Having said that, Obama will attract a significant portion of them as well. This is one election where no particular candidate has a monopoly on the Christian vote.

I always found it interesting that there even is such a thing as the "christian vote", which Bush leveraged so well to win his elections. There is no "atheist vote" (we never agree on anything). Is there a "muslim vote"?
