Anyone else have an issue with MCCain's morals?
I personally can't stand the thought of a man who left his disabled wife and children for a young, rich, beauty queen in the White House.
I know it happened years ago, but it still makes me sick to my stomach when I see he and Cindy together, who of course is 17 years his junior!
He is a decorated war hero and for that I respect him, but is it too much to expect a president who has not had adulterous affairs and who is morally just a decent guy?
I'm sure many will not see my point here, but I think his past behavior says a lot about his character.

This is a huge issue with me.
Not because I expect him to be perfect, but because this is a huge wedge issue republicans always use against democrats.
And for John McCain to be anything less than a saint, really throws a wrench in their morality argument.

Morals. What's that? If we had morals we'd demand a better, more just government entirely.

Plus he called the present wife the c-word and a "trollop." And he has MASSIVE anger management issues, of which he's proud.

Not trying to be mean but look it up. Dont you owe it to yourself to learn for yourself? People on the internet will tell you anything that suits their purposes, you must know that by now.

After all, the Democrats did write the book on morals.

Old and bitter ehh?
Personally I'm not sure anyone can be mad at McCain for failing in love with someone other than his first wife. You take him up on the dis-respect issue but not love. Who cares the age btw.
Indeed his past behavior says volumes about his charter the only thing is charter in ever evolving we live for mistakes to make us a better person. This happened so long ago one can only hope he would not do the same thing over.

If we are going to talk about morals, why did Obama do this:
Quote:
|
As an Illinois senator he was the only one to vote against a bill to prevent early release for criminal sexual offenders.
|
Why would Obama support releasing criminal sex offenders EARLY? That is absolutely disgusting! He wants to put rapists and child molesters back on the streets!
