If McCain can't defend his family, how can he defend our country?

[ck4829]

What was his response to the "John McCain had an ILLEGITIMATE! BLACK! BABY!" smear?

He's working with the people (Bush and friends) who were behind it.

I really don't think that John McCain can defend this country when he can't even defend his family.

3. great thread, btw; hope somebody in the campaign starts using this.

6. Well I think it's a really good point

And, I know that my posts look dumb too. Others might make the exact same points as me, but say them more eloquently, and get tons of praise. That's just the way it works sometimes, I guess.

Anyway, I agree with the OP. It shows a person's character, or lack thereof, when one joins forces with people who attack one's family. It is totally consistent with conservatives' lack of concern for youth.

There will be people who will vote for McCain simply because he is old. Those are the people who don't care that the youth are our future. We can't go in that direction.

4. We don't need to throw mud. All we need to do is keep saying

"McCain keep our troops in Iraq."

5. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you...I have been saying this

all along. He embraced the racists that attacked his family and he stood by and said nothing.. that is when the Maverick died.

Don't be fooled by this man, he embraces the racist attacks that will happen to the Obamas....all in his name.

7. He probably doesn't think of the little girl as his "real" family. nt

8. Didn't John McCain defend his wife?

Oh, wait ... I forget which one ... certainly not the one who hid her serious injuries while he was a POW so that he wouldn't get demoralized ... and when he got home, he cheated on her and divorced her to marry some trust-fund c*nt ... (his word)
