Predestination? Calvinism?

That's OK. Just asking.

Steele is right and wrong. Any other candidate would have attacked on Wright and won and not lost as many Senate seats. But McCain couldnt because he had skeletons too. “Losing with honor” is just bs. He didnt really try.

screw this RNC post, he needs to run for office on a higher level. He’s a shining light that will be wasted at that post.

I agree. To leave his running mate twisting in the wind as he's done and continues to do, McCain has no honor, no sense of morality, of decorum, of ethics. He and his groupies can keep pretending that he was "above that sort of thing" when it came to certain issues, but in actuality it appears that McCain was spineless.

Well, change that somewhat - he has no problem going against the Conservative base.

I say this in all seriousness and with no malice - I am beginning to wonder if McCain isn't borderline: I hate you! Don't leave me!

Just wondering....Did Michael Steele make it a point to hit Obama on Wright during the election, what with having the racial advantage to do so? He certainly had the media exposure to do so.

I do not think that McCain realized that Obama’s “preacher” was not preaching honorable Christian teaching. (He should have.) The kind of venom that Wright was “preaching” was dangerous, and if McCain could not see that he was not qualified for that office. The few white people who go to that church must be gluttons for punishment and self-haters.

McCain allowed his MSM buddies to savage Governor Palin. Now, Senator McCain can settle back into the “collegiate fraternity” of the Senate, reach across the aisle to his heart’s content, continue tweaking the nose of the Conservatives. He almost won this thing, and would have if he’d been willing to stick by Sarah, give access to the media members who would treat the GOVERNOR of the State of Alaska with the respect that she deserved. When he saw what nastiness issued out of the mouth of “Charlie” Gibson at Governor Palin in his interrogation of her, that should have been IT! But, what’d he do . . immediately sent her into the viper pit of “Katie” Couric to be part of a vicious interview that was spliced and hatcheted to show what “Katie” wanted to show. (Katie’s a jealous witchy little brat who was steamed that Sarah was more beautiful and accomplished than her.) The SNL stuff that McCain kept signing on to further defined Sarah and him as well.

No. McCain wants to be a gentleman of the Senate; not President. I feel like I wasted my time and my money. I hope he does not jump up and start gesticulating again in 2012. The MSM loves the OLD John McCain, you know, as long as he is LOSING, and they’d push him again as a candidate. Sigh.

No. Neither.

The end has to come at some point. Even if that’s God’s plan for the world, it still leaves room for individual will, as far as I can see.

I don’t think that it’s much different than something like praying for healing. Everybody is going to die. At some point, God is just not going to answer that prayer for another healing.

John McCain is nothing but a coward. He proved he can take a beating, but not deliver one. I despise him and will do all I can to defeat him in 2010.

It isn’t nice to spam/hijack a thread with the information you have.

Yeah, being 'nice' went a long way in the McCain campaign, didn't it?

I'm trying to get critical information out about who and what these people really are. I'd say around 50% of us here still don't understand the whole story (Wright's Black Liberation is communism, The Weather Underground also advocated BLT, the Weather Underground were, indeed, communists, the WU received assistance and training from foreign (communist) governments, in part through the KGB, Obama and his crew are *not* trying to 'change' America into an Islamic nation, but rather a communist one, etc, etc). And the worst part of it all is that we could have easily defeated this phony Marxist SOB IF we had only stopped being so damn 'nice' about it. We all know where 'nice' guys finish? :)

BTW-look at my page.

Great Home page you have!

“I don’t think that it’s much different than something like praying for healing. Everybody is going to die. At some point, God is just not going to answer that prayer for another healing.”

I don’t see it that way. I see it that He always answers, but sometimes, His answer is “No.”

He is not a vending machine. He is a sovereign God.

I guess that’s what I was trying to get across.

Sorry if that wasn’t so clear. I’m on some pain medication for a pulled muscle in my back and not as coherent as I should be.

He would had the election if hadn’t made the phony show of saving the country by suspending his campaign and flying off to Washington to vote for a bailout that people were against 500 to 1.

He would have won if he had voted against it IMO @ that point he would have not been just Democrat lite

I am so sick of the white people who are scared to call out black Dems like Obama out of fear of being called racist. WAKE UP THEY ALREADY THINK YOU ARE RACIST!

Steele hit the nail perfectly with this analysis!
