How exactly has McCain been a "deadbeat father?" You're just making stuff up now. McCain's not my guy, but it's for reasons.

You're the one who's coming across as "mentally unbalanced" when you just throw accusations out there.

If McCain paid alimony to the "ex," then he's not even a "deadbeat husband." Philandering flyboy, maybe; but I haven't seen him do anything that qualifies as a "deadbeat."

Sorry buddy. I love you and all, but No democrat EVER gets to speak on the issue of morality in politics. period.

We conservitives can choose to have the discussion if we so desire. Your team has forfitted that right.
ChristopherHall is a "Democrat?" Ask him about how Mary Jo Kopechne's health care was handled after her little car accident in 1969.

Sir, Chris is not allowed to have this discussion with us. Please do not engage him with morality discussions about republicans. He isnt allowed on that part of the playground.

As I said before, I've only voted Democratic three times if you count local elections. I'll comment where I like.

As "Liberal" as some might think McCain is and if one wants a conservative President...is there really any other choice that will make it to the office? It's sad that we might have to vote for someone just because other third party candidates have no hope of winning anyways, but there is one big issue I see here that historically has often had a balance.

What tends to balance things out is when one party rules congress or the senate having an opposite president could balance it out.

Having differing viewpoints might make for a lot of disagreements but at least it presents an opposing voice to test whether or not what the other side wants is good for us. Without opposition we might as well have a dictator.

Witha strong democrat representation in congress and the house I think America needs a Republican president no matter how "un conservative" he might be in some minds.

It might be a bitter pill to swallow but it might also be the lessor of two evils and in this case a non-vote for McCain is just as much a lessor of two evils as a vote is for a Democrat if you are a Conservtive.
McCain is a 1,000 times more conservative on his most liberal day than Obama is on his most conservative day.

He was having extramarital affairs when married to Carol, then abandoned his wife of 14 years and his children. Yes, he paid alimony. But here's the deal...he abandoned his kids. That's something we need to address. That does just as much damage to marriage, if not more, than two gays getting hitched in some tree huggin' church on E. Doper St. Massachusetts. We as straight Christians need to recommit to addressing divorce in our ranks with more force. Frankly McCain's current marriage is a sham. It was forged in adultery and since his wife was the won with biblical grounds to divorce him, he's currently still in adultery though he married Cindy. McCain might as well be gay married to John Edwards. Sin is sin brother. It's men like McCain that are leaving kids to grow up in fatherless homes all over the United States. Sin is sin bro.

Get real. I've only voted Democratic three times in my life, and that's including local, city, county, state, and congressional elections. LOL You don't have a clue.

I don't discount that McCain is a more conservative liberal than Obama. My issue is that McCain is pretending to be a "conservative". Obama is honest about being a liberal. And Obama doesn't have PTSD and never tried to commit suicide. Obama is also still married to his wife and loves his kids too much to abandon them. Do I agree with Obama politically on every issue? No. But Obama has far more character and integrity than John McMac.
