Stop insisting on double standards here.

As for the rest:

1. If you want someone who can "control" everything in sight, be warned: you'll get them.

2. Cannot control his temper? Please explain...

3. Cannot control his wife: see original reply.

4. Cannot control his party - well, guess what: he is one of 49 Republican senators. Not the RNC Chairman.

You call me all kinds of names, as apparently you do to everyone, and now have the audacity to send me this. Verbally attack me gain, and I'll post your picture.

From: JamesMarcus Block To: Global_Warmer

I have warned Tessylo not to send any further site mails like the one you quoted. You are correct, that's not acceptable behavior, and if she does it again, please let me know and forward the relevant message.

It appears to me that you are the one that crossed the line, and you got called on it.

That goal post was moved a long time ago.

and McCain has met with Bush, and moreover agrees with him.

No competition on lack of judgment there.

That`s right. McCain was not a member of Hagee`s church, so he had zero personal/family history with the church and all the other church goers that would influence him to forgive some of the preacher`s wilder talks.

No, nobody`s giving McCain a pass for researching Hagee and chasing after the hater`s endorsement for over a year, and then crying `Hagee is misunderstood` when called to task. No, either the standard applies to all, or it applies to none. None of that moving the goal post BS accepted tang.

Oh, speaking of relationships, you still have not defended the Republican Party`s 30-year relationship with the new `Messiah` Rev. Moon. Still waiting for the talking points? Must be a slowdown due to Mother`s Day.

If the McCains have done something so illegal they cannot open up their taxes, they should have chosen to continue hiding under the rock and should not have chosen to run for office in the first place.

What is the home-wrecker, thief, drug addict hiding? Is she a tax cheat too? I have the right to know if a candidate for president is a tax cheat or is married to one. Don`t even try to move the goal posts on this one, especially not after what the cons did to the Clintons.

No, you guys made your own bed, now quit yer whining and sleep in it.

On the other hand, the Rev Moon has been preaching that Jesus failed and he is the new `Messiah` since long before he began his thirty plus year relationship with the Republican Party and the Bush family in particular. Rev Moon told his followers not to eat burgers because they are from America and America is evil, yet he`s in bed with the cons all these years. The Rev Moon bedded hundreds if not thousands of wives on their wedding nights to `bless` their wombs with his `holy seed`. He has spent billions promoting the Republican Party.

That should concern you much more.

You know the text as well as I do.

Jesus said:

"Moses allowed divorce, because of the hardness of your hearts. However, in the beginning, it was not so; what God has brought together, let no man put apart.

Anyone who divorces their spouse and takes another, except it be for adultery, commits adultery; and caused another to commit adultery."

His words are exact and clear; and your interpretation is exactly meant to unclear it.

Not to get on anyone's case; most of my friends are divorced.

But my point is what I said before; that if Jesus were to appear at a political convention, he would say hard things; and those who consider they have God in their pocket, would be outraged by his words.

--But as the rules exist, the candidate's spouse will or won't be"dragged into it" based on the manner in which they choose to file their taxes. I don't see how that's fair.

drug addict

thief

plagiarist & opportunist

and most likely a tax cheat. Question is, what is she/he hiding?

He`s running for president. If he cannot control the financial docs of his own family, why would we want such a pu%%y whipped dweeb to run (er, ruin) the country.

He cannot control the Republican Party in NC, he cannot control his wife, his cannot control his temper, he cannot control the people in his party breaking the Geneva Convention...

Why did the Republicans nominate this guy again? Oh yeah, he`s a flip-flopper who`s easily manipulated and controlled by others. The perfect Republican WH president.

Sad dude, sad.

Is disclosure the same thing as exposure?

Does McCain wear Cindy's bra?

Inquiring minds want to know...

People who change positions on key issues like they change their clothes obviously have no shortage of cover-up items. Principles? There comes a point where "extreme flexibilty" is just pure pretzel logic. McCain conjures images of neo-con auto****** and a naked emperor. I'm not even sure if that's his own dick. Looks like a loaner from GW or the Rev. Moon to me.

Vote your conscience! LOL!

Jesus wants us to continue to be able to KNOW what is right and what is wrong, what is of God and what is not.

But, standing in the place of Jesus or God by pronouncing condemnation or by shunning or ostracizing the "sinners" is the OPPOSITE of what Jesus taught.

Re-read the parables of the woman caught in adultery and the rich young ruler.

He didn't say to be ignorant of sin - he said, and the other New Testament books say - to love the sinner, be good to your enemies.

"The truth shall set you free". He said to be careful to know the truth, but he didn't say to destroy or hunt down or berate those "false prophets".

Make an intellectual and a SPIRITUAL judgment, but don't look down on others and consider yourself superior because you know better. Reach out to those people instead of condemning them.

Your 'point' about the Pharisees and the Old Testament is EXACTLY what Jesus was pointing out. He brought a new understanding of God and of how to treat our fellow man. The Pharisees were so ingrained in their legalistic traditions, and they were so into their own self-righteousness, that they totally missed it.

But I am sure you didn't read or listen to all of the sermon.

And it is not necessarily a surprise that you have "never heard a minister 'attack' or make a comment like God D--n America", as I would expect that it doesn't happen very often.

But that doesn't mean that other preachers are perfect while Wright is not.

And your attempt at sarcasm about who's comments I could find 'good' in is lame ...

Are you sure, after 20 years of Reagan/Bush and 8 years of Clinton, there is only about 1 regulator for every 1200 companies, distributorships, dealers, retailers, etc.

Like the `1` regulator who is supposed to inspect all bazillion Chinese toys that come into the country every year.

Face it, she doesn`t want to open up the books because she`s a rich, home-wrecker, drug addict, thief, who knows she`s cheated on her taxes and will have a he!! of a time staying out of jail if critical eyes take a close look at them.

If you cannot take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

You and I pay taxes our share, wouldn`t it be nice if people like Cindy paid her share for a change?

It is the PERCENTAGES.

I help several below-poverty-line people with their taxes. The government DOES take taxes out of their pay, just like everyone else.

He took out a multi-million dollar loan based on public funding and then, when he gets the nomination and private money is guaranteed, he claims the public-financing law doesn`t apply and spends over the legal limit. If he is not limited by public financing, then he took out the loan illegally based on future income that was not expected/guaranteed.

THAT is the irony and the hypocrisy. There will not be another peep about this after this story dies.

Why isn`t she/wasn`t she in jail? Too elite for peasant jail I guess.

So why won`t the home-wrecker release her taxes if she has nothing to hide? The Clintons did. The Obamas did.

Knowing that almost all of McCains tax-deductible charitable giving went to his own charity, which donates to the schools his kids go to, sure sounds like a tax cheat to me. Hey, if you are rich enough, the law doesn`t apply. If not, you pay taxes and pay the piper if you break the law.

How does President Reagan's name get dragged into this one. Tax cuts? I think we've seen they do help the economy. If that's your point, okay, I guess. The reason you don't give the tax cut to the poor most people under $30K don't pay much in taxes. Then again, how much do you make answering those surveys from your mommy's basement?

I have been saying that for two days now.

One of our mutual friends sent me aPM a while back asking why I was being so hard on you. I sent him/her the link to the very offensive comment you made to me. Whn he/she retruns I will ask him/her to send me the link back so I can post it for you.

McCain, the more I research him, the more I'm liking him. He's more a conservative than a maverick. But if that's what you need to do to get the press attention, so be it.

Huge Cop Out!

" what McCain's preacher endorsers have "said and done" does NOT matter?"

Right, because they are not HIS preachers! He does not share their views. If he did he would attend their church!

Also, if you want to bring endorsements into this, lets compare these preachers to Louisd Farraklown, the New Black Panther Party, the Nation of Islam, Hamas and all the other dirtbags who endorse Obama. Is that cool?

There isn't a big deal about her tax records.

But when Theresa Heinz Kerry didn't want to release her tax records, the media and the Republicans consistently complained about it. It is very likely that after this story dies there will be NO complaining by the media and any Democratic complaints will never get any media attention.

McCain's preacher endorsers HAVE made hateful comments.

ohn Hagee has called the Catholic Church the "Great 'hore'" and has also equated it with Nazis. He said that the Anti-Christ will rise out of the European Union and will also be Jewish. He said all Muslims are trained to kill. John McCain says he is proud of Hagee's endorsement.

As to some of your other comments, I won't disagree on money or power for that matter, being a root to evil. But used properly they can be the roots of great joy when used for good. As to your last comments, I was speaking of abortion directly. The pro-choice crowd likes the term choice when in the end it usually means the death of the fetus. That would be Pro-Death. But as liberals, it's difficult to sell death so choice it is.

Wow and all over Cindy's refusal to share her financials.

ALL of those soundbites came from ONE SEVEN YEAR OLD sermon.

John Hagee has called the Catholic Church the "Great ******" and has also equated it with Nazis. He has said that the Anti-Christ will rise out of the European Union and will also be Jewish. He has said all Muslims are trained to kill. John McCain continues to say he is proud of Reverend Hagee's endorsement.

Rod Parsley believes America was founded to destroy Islam and that Islam is an "anti-Christ religion" brought down from a "demon spirit." McCain says that Parsley is "a spiritual guide".

On your other comments, I don't really know them. In searching for them it seems they're ministers but that's really the extend of my search. Now they may have baggage I don't know. What I do know, none of them have ever made comments as hateful as Wright did.

~~~~~~~

Actually, he said quite the OPPOSITE. He said that Jerry Falwell was promoting HATE (during the 2000 campaign) then turns around and PRAISES Falwell's position before speaking at his college.

Do YOU see the difference?

And, in future, NO one should ever be asking ANY spouse of ANY candidate to fork over their tax returns.

Brilliant ... and the media played it that way because that is what they wanted people to THINK.

You have ABSOLUTELY NO proof that Wright preached "hate" every Sunday for the last 20 years, so your generalization that he did that is erroneous.

Again, you took the media bait and with a few soundbites you generalized that Wright a chronic "hater".

But no laws were broken by Jerry Studds.

Also if you knew so much about me retard wouldn't you know I don't live any where near Curtis Bay now?

Clinton remained in office because he was never convicted of anything.

Clinton lied about his sex life - no one died as a result of that lie.

Hundreds of thousands of people have died because of a war based on lies. But the Bush administration gets away with it.

Oh yes gw - you are so muy mysterioso - anyone could have been creeping around the threads like you and read my bio and it is pretty darn easy to figure out when I turned 45 and where I live. I don't care if I revealed anything to you that you didn't already know. Call me a coward. You're a sniveling pukey bastard. Call me immature if you want I don't give a rat's ass. I'm so much more mature than the likes of you - who thinks you're so clever and has revealed so much about me. What a dipshit you are. I'm really done with you. You think you've intimidated me? I have no idea what Linwood is - are you implying I'm autistic. Sure if you say so. People like you are so ridiculous. Call me a coward for giving negs and supposedly not commenting. Pot call the kettle black! DICK! I don't give a damn where you work or what to do. Genius - not!

On tithing, I'm not sure what church you're taking about, most people don't even come close and haven't for many years. As to our congregation, the former minister decided he would rather dedicate himself to writing books and worked with the congregation about 2 hours a week while collecting a full-time pay check. It split the congregation. Most liked him but when you needed his help you often had to track down supply pastors for funerals, weddings and the like. The final straw for the council was when they got a bill from sermons.com for his weekly messages. Our synod was too worried about his needs and less so about the congregation. It's taken time but I'm told it growing again.

You still do NOT know what Wright has said EVERY single Sunday for the last 20 years. But you sure to ASSUME at what he may have said.

What Wright has "said and done" matters, but what McCain's preacher endorsers have "said and done" does NOT matter?

Right ...

And you probably don't know what they have said because you haven't paid any attention to it.

Here ya go ...

Listen to the cheers.

As to qualified, perhaps you should read up on Senator McCain's record. As a non-McCain fan, I've done a bit of research on him. I'm very impressed with his career in the Navy and in the Senate. Unlike some of his colleagues who went to Nam for the photo ops, he was a real hero and earn my respect. That plus my vote.

OH! So Michelle is not running for president and therefore deserves privacy but Cindy McCain is a different story???

It would appear that YOU are the one calling for a double standard!

"What an ignorant jerk you are."

Thanks babe. ; )

As for me being a jackass, it's good genes.

As to being first lady, why would she. Move into a smaller home in a bad neighborhood?

http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/04/...

My first thought was I bet some idiot posts this as truth on Propeller.

BTW- you weren't the first to post it and the amount of attention it got pretty well sums up it's credibility.

I never made any statement regarding Michelle Obama's thesis statement, i haven't read it, she's not running for president, and i could care less.

Therein lies your double standards, Barack MUST be judged by his wife, but McCain, yet again, gets a free pass. What an ignorant jerk you are.

"If you're upset about that then you must be just as upset at Barack for giving Hillary the bird."

Notice how I started my comment off with "IF YOU'RE UPSET ABOUT THAT". Did the caps make it easier for you to read?

Also, his supporters in the crowd knew what he was doing. Obviously they are smarter than the average bear. (The bear in this case being an obese middle aged white lady with nappy hair and a creepy little dog)

I said, that no one particular person in a marriage should have that much control, not that i look down on women in the home.

Do you have to practice at being a jackass, or does it just come naturally?

N2N FTR, things did not get personal with us until you made them personal.

Barack did not seek out an endorsement from Wright. Yet he did appoint him to work on his campaign, and he did sit down and ask him for advice on whether or not he should run.

You say that the hate that comes from the preachers that endorsed McCain is widely known, but I have been a Southern Baptist for 28 years and never once heard anything they have said. I still could not pick them out in a line up. I can however tell you all sorts of things that wright has said and done. Why? Because that matters. Not once did McCain ever say that he agrees with anything those guys have said. Barack on the otherhand gave his money and his time to trinity for 20 years.

See the difference?

It usually is.

Now, on to your point. I don't bet on losers (19 and what?) so I would not end up owing money to either of them.

I have a better question, how do you think your side would react if McCain or Bush went to a White Power Rally? I'm willing to bet there would be an uprising from sea to shinning sea. Yet Obama has been a member of a church that preached hate and racism from the pulpit for over 23 years, and it's okay. Huh? Just when I think you liberals have hit bottom you start digging again.

It sounds to me that you have a very fickle congregation if they won't support the church even while having problems with the minister.

Unless YOU sat in the pews of that church EVERY Sunday for the last 23 years, you have NO IDEA what Wright said for the VAST majority of that whole time.

So your statement that Wright preached "hate" for 23 years is erroneous and slanderous. And it is YOU that is lying or is ignorant for making unfounded, unprovable statements.

ONE incident of saving a child - which is a GOOD thing, no argument - is suppose to absolve the McCains for ALL of there other imperfections? Meanwhile, ONE association by Obama of a friend who is a preacher - where the insinuations of that association are not proven - is enough to totally NEGATE anything positive that Obama has done?

So disingenuous and hypocritical ....

Pelosi and Reid are NOT running for President ....

For me, that's an easy pick, be it Hillary or Barack.

That's a wonderful thing they did.

http://www.snopes.com/politics/kerry/service.asp

You are "offended" that Kerry testified of war crimes. Too bad you are not offended by the actual war crimes.

And the claims were NOT "all dismissed" - far from it.

"For more than thirty years since the WSI, individuals and organizations have sought to discredit or at least minimize the painful revelations brought forth at that event. Critics have claimed that participants were frauds; that they were told to not cooperate with later investigators; that their testimonies were inaccurate or just plain fabricated. To date, no records of fraudulent participants or fraudulent testimony have been produced."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_Soldier_Inv...

Sounds like you would be okay if McCain sought Reverend Fred Phelps' endorsement if he didn't know what he preached.

Now to me that seems a very frank discussion of a very real phenomenon, particularly among (yes, 'typical white') people of Barack's grandmother's generation. It saddens me to say it, but I get that sort of vibe from my mother.

Clinton published his tax returns for eight straight years.

During the 2004 presidential election, the Tax History Project published tax returns released by the Democratic candidate, Sen. John Kerry.

http://www.taxhistory.org/www/website.nsf/Web/P...

Al Gore published his tax returns while he was VP.
