After days of watching in silence, McCain calms the crowd at his Minnesota town meeting.
“I want everyone to be respectful. And let’s make sure we are, because that’s the way politics is done in America.”
Tells one supporter who says he’s scared of an Obama presidency: “I have to tell you, he is a decent person, a person that you do not have to be scared [of] as president of the United States.”
After a woman calls Obama “an Arab,” McCain interrupts to say: “No, ma’am. He is a decent family man, citizen

Your’e either a liar or a drama queen.
Either way you’re not impressing anyone.
Agree. The two parties have been one for some time. The “battle” between them is just a football game to keep us cheering and buying 700 billion dollar hotdogs while they toss our liberty back and forth.
Post of the Year!!! lol.
No, you are not.
Seriously, I don’t understand your despair. Bit over the top.
This is not a battlefield, it’s a chess game. Mc Cain and Palin are not just up against the Obama campaign machine, they are up against the media and an electorate that is leaning 50/50 to one side or the other. This country is sharply divided and it doesn’t do any good to use derogatory references to race and religion to make your point. Obama’s people have been doing this and that’s why so many are enraged and want to throw the same right back at him.
Unfortunately the media will report on the ugliness of the GOP attacks and give the Dems a free pass.
You can go scorched earth and win the election, but you will never be able to govern a country you have torn irreparably in two.
Yeah sure. Whatever you say.
Stay home and help Obama.
Just dont go show up here pretending how much of a macho conservative you are for doing so.
I would prefer to want to vote for McCain.
Because of his comments today, now I have to vote for McCain!
“The Palin rally where the the guy yelled kill him, preceded McCain’s rally. I’m sure the blowback from that had already been felt.”
I’m sorry, but a true leader does not allow himself to be manipulated and intimidated like that. A true leader would never adjust his answers and speeches to some perceived “blowback” from what some stupid person yelled out at a rally. People yell out stupid things at rallies all the time. If he can’t stand up to the pressure of that, then he sure can’t stand up to the kind of pressure Pres. Bush has had to endure for the last 8 years. Different people are good at holding up under certain kinds of pressures and not at others. Obviously, McCain was able to endure being a POW in Vietnam. That does not mean he has the character to stand up to political scrutiny and pressure from the left and he cares way too much what his detractors say and think of him.
I thought I was addressing Txsleuth....
It is either genius or madness--I fear the latter...
For real? These ARE the people who in 1918 ripped people form their homes n Soviet Russia. These are them...same MO. They WANT to do that here. And are very close to getting it done.
I don't want to co-exist with them.
You were..Sorry..
Put my nose were it should not have been...
I take it back, please forgive me..
Please calm down and don’t let McCain discourage you. This isn’t really about McCain any more. It’s about defeating Obama. We conservatives pride ourselves for thinking things through. In this case, the choice is clear.
Keep up the fight, because we fight for the very things that made America great: individual liberty, small government, and public morality. That fight never ends. Just like those who came before us, it’s something we have to strive to maintain.
We didn’t choose this battle. Many of us would have loved to have a more conservative standard bearer than McCain. Nevertheless, we have to fight with what we’ve got.
We face a dire threat. Obama is unarguably the worst Democrat candidate for president in my lifetime. He even makes Kerry look good (and that’s saying a LOT).
If you care about this country, and I know you do, we must defeat the Obamanation. Vote McCain!
So we just have to submit and take it ?
and let them get away with their hate ?
Are we chicken sh*t ?
What about all of the attacks on Sarah and her family ? Where is the justice ? Why cant we fire back ?
Most likely, yes. I was at the Carson, CA rally and they had plenty of our opponents in the crowd, acting up. They have just found a new way to act up and get media attention.
If they can scream lynch him, hate him type language and successfully get the crowd to follow then the media will have a field day with condemning all of us trailer trash racists that hate poor Obama.
"guys PLEASE!!!!!!!
its called the news cycle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it will be all over msm.....and it will play well.
The problem is this: OBAMA CAN TURN AROUND AND USE THIS PATHETIC STATEMENT BY McCain in a TV AD: John McCain says I am a decent guy, would make a fine President and YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR FROM ME OR MY ADMINISTRATION! (YES I AM YELLING BECAUSE I AM SO MAD. EITHER MCCAIN WANTS TO FIGHT TO WIN THIS THING OR WE ARE ALL WASTING OUR TIME.
I think you are on to something. I think he will continue to put out ads on Obama and let Sara go out and serve up the red meat.
Looks like we got a Bloody Friday anyhow, here at FR.
You can try to have the same level of CLASS and COURAGE that Sarah has shown and show the other side how much better we are.
With tears in my eyes, I just went outside and took my McCain sign out of the ground. and I feel extreme fear for this country.

You need to go put the sign back. If O gets into office, this will be the last year you get to pick your own sign.
