McCain Promises to Keep It CivilPosted on Feb 27, 2008
Conservative radio host Bill Cunningham scored points with the audience while speaking before John McCain at a rally by repeatedly referring to “Barack Hussein Obama.” McCain apparently had no idea what Cunningham had said, but soon after the event addressed the matter in no uncertain terms: “Whatever suggestion that was made that was any way disparaging to the integrity, character, honesty of either Senator Obama or Senator Clinton was wrong. ... I condemn it, and if I have any responsibility, I will take the responsibility, and I apologize for it.” That’s all well and good, but if John McCain is successful in rallying the conservative base and the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter behind him, then he will have much more to apologize for.

These are some of the kindest people on earth-they dont form snap judgements on others and are basically innocent of this world’s evils and corruption; they are trusting and like everyone they meet.

By don knutsen, February 27 at 10:56 am # So what if McCain says he plans to keep things civil ? The GOP machine that has adopted him make no such promise. Karl Rove still owns a phone. The fact that any republican even has a snowball’s chance at the presidency is a damning testament to how many still, after the last 7+ dreadfull years of the cheney/bu$h excercise in facism, refuse to see what these people are doing to our future. If a republican regains control of the executive branch, either thru vote rigging or via the election this coming Nov. then we will have shown the world that we are still a country of frigging idiots in large measure and we deserve the outcome. The question is, as we continue to dwindle as a superpower, as our ability to influence others evaporates, how long will the rest of the world put up with us ? Add Your Comment |
