Sen. John McCain takes weekends off and limits his campaign events to one a day. He made an exception for the religious forum on Saturday at Saddleback Church in Southern California.
I think he made a big mistake. When he was invited last spring to attend a discussion of the role of faith in his life with Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, at Messiah College in Pennsylvania, McCain didn't bother to show up. Now I know why.

One after another, McCain's answers were shallow, simplistic, and trite. He showed the same intellectual curiosity that George Bush has -- virtually none

Great article.

Cafferty is one of those people that can be called "the real deal" for having worked his way up from the bottom of the heap. No way is he a bleeding heart liberal, but he is furious with what's been going on for 8 years. BTW, so is Lee Iacocca, former head of Chrysler and one of our great industrial leaders.

Both have written books that are a total indictment of the Bush years, and John McCain promises more of the same disgraceful behavior. That anyone would vote for four more years of thievery, death and economic destruction is a mystery to me.

So yes, McCain truly is another Bush. I can only hope that people see through the sham and facade that McCain is and vote for someone else.

I think in some way's Mccain is worse than Bush truly set in his way's and can't see out of his tunnel.
Regardless he is picking up ground and Obama is not.

He sure isn't the JM of 2000, when he called the evango-fascists (Falwell, Robertson, Dobson, et al) what they really are "agents of intolerance" and he meant it. This year, he want to see Falwell to get his blessing. Falwell died about 3 weeks later, wasting a huge flip flop on McCain's part. Now, his handlers are steering him straight into the gaping maw of the American Taliban (Dobson, Robertson, Hagee, et al). McCain is as dangerously opportunistic as any person alive.

How is Cafferty anything more than a hack? He's been anti McCain for a while, as this article (with plenty of lies in it) show. I'm not necessarily a McCain supporter but this article is crap.

Yes Obama is reflective and McCain is impulsive. I am very comfortable with the thinking hmms and ummms of Obama, whereas the immediate canned responses of McCain are getting to me.
