I’ve stated my position very clearly that I don’t like the ad. I was interested that this morning Senator Obama said that it was a legitimate political issue. If he believes that, then it will probably be a political issue. I saw yesterday some additional comments that have been revealed by Pastor Wright, one of them comparing the United States Marine Corps with Roman legionnaires who were responsible for the death of our Savior. I mean being involved in that –it’s beyond belief. And then of course saying that Al Qaeda and the American flag were the same flags.

So I can understand — I can understand why the American people are upset about this. I can understand that Americans viewing these kinds of comments are angry and upset, just like they viewed Senator Obama’s statements about why people turn to their faith and their values. He believes that it’s out of economic concerns, when we all know that it’s out of fundamental belief, fundamental faith in this country and its values and its principles. Again, Senator Obama is out of touch. I can’t control and will not in the future control. I will voice my opinion and I will continue to think and to say that I think that ad should not be run. But I won’t continue to try to be the referee here.

-John McCain

We’ve heard the polls saying that so many of Hillary supporters won’t for Barack “H” Obama and vice versa.

I don’t think so as they have nearly identical policy positions.

However McCain is more like a Democrat on a limited number but important issues.

It’s up to the candidate to make himself acceptable to the voters.

How has he been hostile? He admitted he was wrong.

He didn’t admit he was wrong. He said that he got the message the voters want enforcement first.

When, where and/or how did he say that? At Cpac?

I thought it was pretty cool that this was my conclusion of his attitude.

So we can’t use a candidates middle name now?

Sidney Sidney Sidney.

Boy I bet you’re steaming made now.

PParents would it be ok to use his middle name while questioning his choice of what Christian minister he chooses to follow?

When fighting a monster, you must make sure that in the process you don’t become one.

Using a legitimate issue makes you a monster?

HA!

McCain is a saavy campaigner who knows exactly what he’s doing….

Yep it is legit and McCain asked that the video be pulled so Barry can’t blame McCain for that one.

Using a candidate’s middle name to mock him or imply that he is a muslim is – as you well know – a cheap-shot. McCain was right to call him on it.

Hillary Rodham Clinton. Barack Hussain Obama. William Jefferson Clinton. John F. Kerry. George W. Bush. George Herbert Walker Bush.

It is beyond commonplace to call politicians by all 3 names, or at least the middle initial. (In Hillary’s case, her maiden name takes the place of the middle name.) Barack Hussein Obama has referred to himself by that name, and said he is quite proud of it.

You can quibble all you want, But Cunningham was mocking Obama with the repeated and exculsive use of his middle name. I would hope this election is about a lot more than Rodham, Hussein or Sidney.

Except for Michael Savage and John McCain, no one on the right ever thought it was an issue. Saying that using someone’s NAME is an attack is idiotic. Anyone who suggests such a thing should be instantly mocked out of the public sphere. It’s actually some how less intelligent than suggesting that pointing out someone’s record is a personal attack.

Come on his name is Barack Hussein Obama; Hussein is his middle name and there is nothing wrong with calling him that name. McCain should back off the Republicans (McCain can not win without conservatives like me) and if he keeps saying this and that is out of touch me and many other conservatives will stay home and we won’t vote for McCain who is basically nothing more than Rebulican light. I dare him to pick a liberal Republican for a running mate and that will do it for me. Hello Barack Hussein Obama for President.

It is interesting that left leaning Democrats, the very same group that doesn’t support religion in general, would select Obama not based on his experience but on “faith” in his spirit of change.

YMcCain – like any republican candidate – has to win not only a majority of republicans, but a fair number of independents and democrats to become president. That’s the reality.

Wouldn’t you?

Why? we have a candidate is probably has about a 50-65 % chance of getting creamed in the general election.

In case you have noticed he is going to have a very tough time getting a majority of Republicans to vote for him. If you think I am wrong you might want to listen to what other GOPers are telling you.
You can not dismiss the hard right of the Republican party. McCain stance on the core GOP issues like Shamesty has a good chance of coming back to bite him.

It is in fact his middle name is it not?
