I forgive McCain and Palin, and I hope that one day they will get down with enlightenment, and join the community of those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, but I ain't holding my breath. I will never forget what they've done, what they've said, what they fought for, what they stand for, and who they are. Their methods have been beneath contempt. They have brought nothing but shame and dishonor upon themselves. May their memory live in infamy.

Have to agree with you on Palin, ReaderHG. If she attempts Presidential politics again the lack of ceremony will be astounding. Gene Robinson seems to think she'll be back, I think she's a painful joke.

John McCain hasn't lost yet. I suspect this poster is crazed and confused.

Have you voted yet?

I've never had the impression that Cindy McCain especially wanted to be 1st lady. Tragically, she'll probably stand by her man, although there is absolutely no reason including love or money, that she should.

>HOW WE NEED TO TREAT JOHN MCCAIN AFTER HE LOSES

I'd start with formaldehyde... and end with a wooden stake through the grave. Let's win the elections first, though.

Re: the CleverBulldog`s suggestion that McCain was gracious by not going after the Rev.Wright thing;I would say that McCain was tied to two of the most radical Evangelical preachers,Rev.Jim Hargis,and somebody Rev,Pryor from Columbus,Ohio that makes Palin`s minister,Rev. Witch-hunt look tame.Obama could have cleaned McCain`s clock if he had gone the Wright route.
As it is he`s cleaning it as we speak.

I sure hope you're right. The way I figure it, Cindy married him in the first place because she and her family wanted access to power. What better way to multiply your wealth? From what I've read, they lead separate lives. She stays in AZ, he stays in DC. What happens when he's out of office? I guess Cindy will have to give him one of her least-favorite houses to live in.

Or will she just divorce him? A mean streak in me smiles at the prospect of ol' Gramps falling out of the money tree.

I don't have any ill-will toward McCain or Palin or any of their campaign surrogates. Not even Hannity or Limbaugh. I don't care what happens to Bush or Cheney or Rove or Rumsfeld. ( I did care for a long time, as I expected that they would be convicted of war crimes.)

I'm not able to move forward transfixed on their demise--

I'll vote and hopefully Obama will win--then I'll refocus my passion on making sure that the change we've been waiting for actually comes.

It depends on the concession speech. I was pretty pissed at Hillary but that concession speech was great.

--roll his fat little naked body around in her money room.--

ROFLMAO!! I gotta use that one!

We'll have our hands full defending him from Richard Mellon Scaiffe type 'journalism.'

One reason to be 'Christian' and reject vengeance is that it will be a waste of energy.

I've read lately that Mccain is vengeful in that "Hatfield and Mccoy" (Mccoy and Mccain = Scots Irish 'honor') sense of the word.

Yet what standing will he have after this? Did Wendell Wilke go on a tear after his loss? Bob Dole?

Forget McCain when the election is over. There are too many major issues that need to be addressed. Keep moving. Don't waste time looking back.

I like so many others held McCain in high regard before this election. That is completely gone. I began to wonder what would make one so dedicated to honor and service change so dramatically now?
In looking back on his "service", much of his image was self-made or Mark Salter made anyway. His leaving USS Forrestal without authorization when it was on fire; the loss of respect from fellow POWs who DIDN'T immediately confess to warcrimes to his captors and most startling his complete stonewall of POW/MIA families while taking all the credit for looking for them. He truly has led an undistinquished life which, upon review, demonstrates that when under pressure he acts just like the rat he is acting like now.

Lincoln urged forgiveness after a civil war. Maybe its the least we can do-or does it mean that only in a similar situation is forgiveness warranted?

I won't miss them because they have done so much to deepen the divide that Barack wants to heal.

Tough question...

My Republican-like Endorsement of Obama. Obama's campaign is a testament to his organizational, management and leadership skills. He has run a clean campaign motivating voters with a message of hope and change, winning over people who have absolutely no reason to choose him.

McCain is his polar opposite. He is a disorganized, hysterically egotistical, erratic old man who has little or no vision for this country other than seeing himself at the top. His compulsive decisions are symptoms of an impatient, childish, Bush-like man. McCain is bright but narrow, incurious, and eternally angry. He called his wife a “cunt” in public, crashed 3 airplanes, turned a blind eye to and vacationed with a financier who bilked Americans for billions. He graduated at the bottom of his college class. He wasted $25 million in campaign donations by overspending, nearly sinking his campaign in August 2007. He had no choice then but to return to his “straight talk” persona, an idea born out of his illicit membership in the Keating Five. Yet he quickly abandoned that when his handlers told him he needed to win the Republican base. He flopped over to being a right wing conservative, and began slinging mud and whining about being victimized by the mainstream media.

To woo the base he picked a frightfully inexperienced and incoherent running mate, an Alaskan socialist, Sarah Palin, who isn’t conscious enough to realize what she’s saying. She is clownish, and beauty-queen false. A winking, babbling girl woman who loves her own smile, breaks her state’s ethics laws, pals around with secessionist, says she loves Jesus, carts her children everywhere, even out to shield her from a jeering Philadelphia hockey crowd. Sarah wants to be adored.

She and McCuttaxes are out of ideas as most all Republicans are. They don’t like government. They like power. They disqualify. They have no idea how to raise people up. Their lack of empathy has cost us billions of dollars and prolonged the war in Iraq. They need a villain they can attack to mask their eternal frustration that the ideological purity (think Hitler) to which they cling has yet to arrive. People are objects. Victims are to be blamed. Things aren’t so bad. Imbued with such pure narcissistic grandeur, Republicans are consummate, innate liars. McCain and his campaign repeatedly lie. Joe the Plumber is a lie. They live a lie. They project this lie onto Obama and Democrats. Obama is a socialist. Obama is a terrorist. Obama is a Muslim. Obama is a child molester. Republican’s hope is build on winning by destroying. They crave a victory where others lay defeated before them. That is what they do. All the accusations they direct at Obama are a reflection of their own latent, unrelenting aggressiveness and evil, born of envy and a deep sense of humiliation and inferiority. Many failed 2nd grade spelling.

They think we all need God as much as they do. Vote for Republicans and their disdain for the world will one day have the Chinese landing on our shores. Vote for Republicans and they will continue to demonstrate just how incompetent government can be. Vote for Republicans and we will continue to learn how shallow ideas and beliefs (gut feelings) can dismantle a nation that has been build on ingenuity, reason and excellent education institutions and a fragile balance between personal and collective needs and duties of citizens.

The McCain-Bush party is the party of brutes, war makers, haters, and religious zealots. I will fight them, our children will have to fight them, and their children will have to fight them to keep them from turning this country into a fascist, totalitarian theocracy.

These guys have always been around in different political cloaks, trolling underground, under white sheets or hunkered down in small merciless churches. They are not conservatives. They are authoritarians. They support torture now, but they were silent when black men were hung in the 50’s, running sweatshops at the turn of the century and before that importing slaves and before that driving native Americans from their land. A vote for McCain is to give hope to American darkness. A vote for Obama, is a vote for light.

This is just a very small comment on McCain. He is first and foremost a 'fighter pilot". That entails a very special personality. I have two sons-in-law who wanted to be fighter pilots in the USNavy and the German Airforce. They both took personality tests. One of the most important tests is whether or not a person acturally "thinks" about what he or she will do. In other words...if you think before you act, you cannot be a fighter pilot. Both my sons-in-law think too much. They both...funny, read machines and radar and stuff and direct the pilots. They run the 'war'. The pilots cannot think...they must act instinctivley. And, that is how McCain runs his life...how he does everything. He is a fighter-pilot. We do NOT need this kind of person running this country!! We need a thinker..an inquisitive person, a person who wants to know how we feel, how we live. Someone WAY smarter than we are...someonw who will listen to all sides of a problem, and who will come up with an answer. I do not want to have a beer with him...I DO want to listen to him speak to me...as if I were a thinking, rational human being. Give me a little credit. I actually want to have something to do with the running of this country., I have grandchildren. My love for them surpasses everything...as I am sure everyone reading this agrees with. Our future belongs to our children...we all know that.
